Restaurant Café Sjiek
45.46986 N . 9.19467 O
Sjiek on the corner of Sint Pieterstraat and Begijnenstraat in Maastricht is the café in Maastricht. It’s just chic… and that’s what they say. It doesn’t see itself as a restaurant, more like a living room, a small version of the French Grand Café. In summer it also scores points with its large outdoor terrace in the historic city park. The house’s motto: “Good and simple is honest!”. And this is what the kitchen offers. Fresh, simple dishes from Maastricht and the region are prepared here: sour meat, game, black pudding, sauerkraut dishes. But there is also “roasted cauliflower” as well as “oysters” and “smoked halibut salad”. And an additional “chic card”. Let yourself be surprised.
The wine list offers an interesting and extensive selection of French and Italian wines, a smaller selection of international wines and also wines from Maastricht – Pinot Gris, Riesling, Blanc de Blanc.
The website is wonderfully simple. But chic.

Restaurant Cinq
45.46490 N . 9.19193 O
The Cinq at Coversplein 5 is another excellent address in Maastricht. It operates as RESTO – BAR. Here you don’t use many words, the operators have created a sophisticated ambience here and they bring excellent dishes and wines to the table. The photos on the website and on Instagram give an excellent impression.
The menu includes classics of French cuisine such as “Tournedos Rossini”, “Lamsrack met Kruidenkorst/Rack of Lamb with Herb Crust”, “Bouillabaisse” or “Kabeljauw met Kreeftensaus/Cod with Lobster Sauce”.

Wine-Restaurant Cio's Cucina Casalinga
45.46986 N . 9.19467 O
Gio’s Cucina Casalinga is in a prime location at Vrijthof in the heart of Maastricht.

There is no menu, not even a wine list. Friendly service staff explain the current offerings at the table and give excellent advice: The daily menu always consists of three courses: antipasti (classic, to choose from), primi (two dishes to choose from) and secondi (fish, beef or lamb to choose from). And all of this with pasta, pasta and more pasta… in all variations. Finally, dolci and espressos, of course. Here you are in “Bella Italia”.

Wine-Restaurant Mes Amis
45.46986 N . 9.19467 O
“Fine dining” is the declared claim of Mes Amis. The guests are actually treated like friends of the house – because they come and come back again. And they’re fine. What’s on the table here is high culinary art, it’s actually too beautiful to eat, it’s excellently prepared, wonderfully aromatic, simply delicious. The menus – 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9 courses – are enjoyable journeys.
The concept of the family restaurant: “Leave your worries at the door, take a seat and let yourself be surprised by sophisticated dishes with fresh regional products in combination with excellent Limburg wines.”

Restaurant Rozemarijn
45.46986 N . 9.19467 O
In the Rozemarijn restaurant at Havenstraat 19, guests are confronted with unique, idiosyncratic cuisine. “Inspiration” is the magic word that governs everything in the kitchen. And so there are also inspiration menus – normal and vegetarian (with fresh, regional products from the Eyserhalte in Limburger Land). Chef Jeroen always creates unique, refreshing flavor combinations, combining local products and surprising flavor combinations from Flemish, Oriental, Arabic and Italian cuisine. Together with host Maaike Steins, he stands for “hospitality, honesty and passion in a straightforward restaurant where everyone is welcome.”
Examples of his inspirations include “Zeebaars . Witlof . Nashi Peer/Sea Bass . Chicory . Nashi pear”, “Anjou Duif . Pompoen . Kweepeer/Anjou pigeon . pumpkin . Quince”, “BBB Kalfswang . Schorseneren . Truffle/BBB veal cheek . Salsify . Truffle”, “Pineapple . Gember . Zoethout/Pineapple . Ginger . Liquorice”.
The white and red wines on the sophisticated wine list are interestingly sorted according to flavor: licht . droog . fris/light . dry . fresh, zacht . rond . sappig/soft . round . juicy and rijk . vol . aromatisch/rich . full . aromatic.
Here at Rozemarijn, a lot of things are boldly inspired. Absolutely inspiring.

50.46342336 N . 6.529112 E

Restaurant Postwagen . in the Ratskeller
50.46342336 N . 6.529112 E
The Postwagen in the Ratskeller is Aachen’s rustic parlour. The historic walls – a brick building and an associated wooden house, both from 1659 – nestle directly on the eastern facade of the town hall. Real Öcher specialties are served on 2 floors, which the guest has to “work up” to via a rustic staircase. The rooms in the wooden house actually convey the ambience of old post cars. Down at the bar is the center of Aachen’s bar scene.
Wärm ejje Hazze, verjönne ejje Buuch. Warm in the heart, comfortable in the stomach.
True to this motto, guests are served typical, solid dishes such as:
“Brotzeit Till Eulenspiegel”, “Soerser Potato Soup”, “Eifler Venison Goulash”, “Aachener Sauerbraten”, “Himmel un’ Ääd” or the legendary “Postreiter Schnitzel”.
It’s worth a visit. Always!

Restaurant Ratskeller
50.46343 N . 6° 5.023 E
The Ratskeller represents the region’s cuisine like no other restaurant in Aachen.
In addition to the well-kept gastronomy, the sophisticated atmosphere in the historic vaults on the ground floor of the Aachen town hall is impressive. When the temperatures are warm, guests enjoy the view of Aachen Cathedral from the terrace.
Culinary highlights on the menu are certainly the “Starter Variation for 2 people”, the “beef fillet “Rossini” the original” or the “Forest Mushroom and Pearl Barley Risotto” as main courses, and for dessert the “Printenice Tart” or the “Tart Tatin”. And the wine list is also impressive.
Rating: Recommended.

MONSCHAU
Restaurant Schnabuleum/Senfmühle
50.46343 N . 6° 5.023 E
In the Schnabuleum, guests are confronted with the “classic” demands of crossover cuisine: regional dishes – often refined with the famous Monschauer Mustard – meet international classics. And so the menu in the house is always varied, interesting and exciting.
On the edge of Monschau’s old town, directly opposite the historic mustard mill, Michael Wolf and his team create seasonal dishes that you can’t get anywhere else – made from high-quality products, many of which come directly from local producers, very specially prepared, exciting aromatic journeys, simply delicious.
We recommend the tasting menu for a first visit, which can also be interpreted in vegetarian or vegan versions (upon reservation).
