Restaurant Z!N – Valkenburg – Review

Nick Riethoven — Thu, 08 Oct 2020 17:11:55 +0000

On the last two days of our citytrip, we stayed in Valkenburg which is a city close to Maastricht. After a busy morning of exploring the caves of this city, we decided to go for lunch at Restaurant Z!N. Since it was very hot that day, we took a seat in the shade on their terrace.

We ordered two cold Leffe Blond beers and a sandwich with brie and a sandwich with an omelet. The Leffe Blond beers were brought to our table very quick and from our table we had a good overview of the whole restaurant. The Leffe Blond beers tasted amazing as usual, it is always one of our favourites.
Unfortunately, we had to wait for quite some time for our sandwiches to arrive. It took approximately one hour and since we had booked an excursion later that day, we were in a little bit of a hurry. Luckily, when the sandwiches arrived they tasted good!
The one with the omelet was a well-filled sandwhich and it tasted delicious. We honestly expected a little bit more from the sandwhich with brie since there wasn’t that much brie on it.

We had a great lunch at this Restaurant Z!N but we had expected a little bit more of them. The food was okay but not fantastic and we had to eat our lunch in a hurry since we had to wait for a long time. It is absolutely a beautiful restaurant to have lunch but we were not completely satisfied. Therefore, we wouldn’t recommend this restaurant unfortunately.

Café D’n Hiemel – Review

Nick Riethoven — Sat, 03 Oct 2020 15:52:48 +0000

We past by Café D’n Hiemel while visiting one of the sights of Maastricht. We were looking for something simple to eat and the options on their menu looked very appealing to us. This café is located near the ‘Helpoort’ and the ‘Stadspark’ and they have a very cozy terrace.

We took a seat at one of the tables on their terrace where we had a good view of the Helpoort. We had to order through a QR-code and we first ordered a large ice tea and a beer. Thereafter we ordered a grilled ham and cheese sandwich (a tosti ham kaas in Dutch). It was nothing special but it tasted really good. The only con was that we received plastic cutlery which made it sometimes quite difficult eat properly.

We also ordered some bread with dip and surprisingly it came with tortilla chips as well. We thought that this was quite an unique combination since there was no dip for the tortilla chips at all. We also didn’t received a knife to spread the dip on our bread. Therefore we decided to re-use the knife that we used for our grilled ham and cheese sandwich. The dish tasted okay but it was quite a weird combination.

Overall, we had a good experience at this café. The meals are really cheap and the waiters were all very friendly. We had a great lunch here but, it would have been nice if we had gotten real cutlery. However, if you are looking for a simple, budget lunch than this is definitely the place to be!
