Starred and gourmet restaurants in Maastricht
From classic French culinary works of art to gourmet Thai dishes. From amazing fish dishes to Chinese fusion menus. The menu is seasonal at almost every one of these restaurants, and as many ingredients as possible from the region are used. The very best caviar, wines and fish are, it must be said, occasionally sourced abroad by the chefs. The result is a world-class culinary offering in which you also get to sample a little of Maastricht. All this goodness tastes even better when enjoyed in historic buildings or on castle terraces surrounded by award-winning gardens. We recommend six starred restaurants and four restaurants with a Bib Gourmand rating.
Starred restaurants in Maastricht
Au Coin des Bons Enfants
Dine in historic settings, from the old church floor to the monumental constellations, at Maastricht’s Au Coin des Bons Enfants starred restaurant. As you might expect from a Michelin-starred restaurant, it has the perfect combination of style and luxury. Sit back under a canopy of vines in the patio in summer or by a crackling fire in winter. The dishes are little works of art on your plate, featuring a classic repertoire with Mediterranean influences and the chef's creative signature. The ingredients are top quality and responsibly sourced. The meat is organic, the fish line-caught, and the vegetables sun-ripened.

Tout à Fait
From the historic centre of Maastricht, step into the sleek and stylish premises of Michelin-starred restaurant Tout à Fait. Start off with an invigorating apéritif such as champagne or crémant de Bourgogne or a sweet cocktail. Meanwhile, star chef Bart Ausems and his team will be preparing the most delicious dishes in his kitchen. Inspired by the seasons and with the quality to be expected of such a restaurant. Choose your favourites from the à la carte menu, or be inspired by a five-course menu created by the chef. Like the décor, the dishes are simple but luxurious. Each dish has a maximum of five ingredients, on which no more than five operations have been performed.

Studio
Brick walls, wooden tables, and minimalist chairs: Studio is a bit like a stylish dining room. One where the most delicious dishes are served. The dishes are inspired by a mix of exotic cuisines that vary from dish to dish. Those checking out the menu will encounter amazing ingredients. Ever tasted tiger milk or Sparassis (cauliflower mushroom)? Your culinary experience at this establishment will consist of five to eight courses, with a fully vegetarian menu available on request. Order a specially selected wine with it, and marvel at the beautiful pottery on which your meal is served.

Beluga Loves You
Dine at Beluga Loves You, located in an angular white building on the river Meuse. This Michelin-starred restaurant serves the most delicious fish dishes, and its celebrity chef hits the road in order to select the best main ingredients. For example, the caviar comes from the oldest farm in the world, in Bergamo, Italy. The oysters come from Zeeland, where the sea creatures have spent six years in the Oosterschelde estuary. The main ingredients are complemented by locally grown garnishes. The oysters, for instance, are served with seaweed and fenugreek. You can select from three to six courses or pick your own dishes from the extensive menu.

Rantrée
Pull up a chair for a luxurious meal at Rantrée, located on the eighth floor of the Dormio Resort Hotel in Dousberg. Be amazed by chef Ralph Hermans while you look out over the countryside. Ralph is inspired by the seasons. He makes sure that his dishes vary between intense flavour explosions and light indulgences. Main ingredients include cod, king crab, and duck liver. Star-quality vegan and vegetarian dishes are also conjured up with minimum fuss. You can even choose a selection of vegan cheeses. Order a wine, selected based on innovativeness rather than classic reputation.

Château Neercanne
Dine like a king at Château Neercanne. Only the very best makes its way to the tables, on the sun-splashed terrace amongst UNESCO baroque gardens or in the dining room, of this restaurant. The menu is French-focused and rivals those in the best French restaurants. Vegetable ingredients come from the castle garden or adjacent Cannerbos forest. Both lunch and dinner, with the option of a 2-course dinner on selected days, are served. If elaborately dining like a king is for you, you can choose from a 5-, 6-, 7- or 8-course menu.

Tabkeaw
Gourmet Thai food can be sampled at Tabkeaw, which has been awarded the designation of ‘restaurant with quality cuisine’ by the Michelin jury. You can either dine in Thai style in the establishment itself or pick up meals to enjoy at home. Four Thai ladies prepare dishes from their homeland in the kitchen. They use as many original spices from Thailand as possible to create traditional delicacies. Order, for example, a spicy glass noodle salad or Thai omelette. At few restaurants on this list will you encounter such a large array of dishes to choose from.

Rechtstraat 102 | Wyck
Harry's
You can have gourmet lunch and dinner at Harry's Brasserie seven days a week. Simple but tasty meals are prepared using fresh dishes of the season. Many of the ingredients come from the 2,000-square-metre garden in the Jekerdal valley. Every week, different vegetables are harvested, with new dishes being added to the menu. Choose a succulent lamb dish or rib-eye speciality. Delicious vegetarian dishes from the restaurant’s own vegetable garden are also prepared. Lunch or dinner on the cosy terrace or in the attractive dining room.

Wycker Brugstraat 2 | Wyck
Umami by Han
As in Chinese culture, the social aspect of eating together takes centre stage at Umami by Han. The fifth basic flavour, umami, also plays an important role here. Many people like ingredients with a lot of 'umami' flavour. These flavours include fresh salmon, soy sauce, rice wine, and mushrooms. Feast on modern Chinese fusion dishes in the stylish interior. Order from the menu, or opt for the 3-course menu with two dishes per course. You can also go for the Bib Gourmand Menu, vegetarian or otherwise, and sample chef Han's best dishes.

L'Auberge de Neercanne
You’ll find not only a Michelin-starred restaurant in Château Neercanne, but also the Auberge de Neercanne inn. Lunch in the castle's former stables. In 2023, the kitchen was completely renovated and preserved, allowing even better dishes to be created. The varied meals are prepared with fresh ingredients from the castle's kitchen garden and surrounding area. Pull up a chair around lunchtime for a 3-course gourmet menu accompanied by wine from Limburg or elsewhere. In the evening, the inn is available for private dining on request only.
