De Gouverneur – Maastricht

Nick Riethoven — Thu, 03 Sep 2020 16:30:00 +0000

On our second day in Maastricht we decided to go to beer cafe ‘De Gouverneur’. This cafe serves over 300 (!) different kinds of beers and it is the first Belgium eat- and specialty beer cafe in Maastricht.
Since we really love to drink different beers, this was definitely the place to be.

When we arrived at the cafe it was extremely busy. Luckily, we already reserved a table in advance and therefore we got a very cozy table on the terrace.

We first ordered a ‘Limburgse Witte‘ and a ‘Delirium Tremens‘. These beers were fruity and easy to drink and therefore perfect as our first beer. Furthermore, we ordered a Irish Burger and burger ‘De Gouveneur’. Both of the burgers were quite big and very tasty. Also, the Belgium fries on the side were very appetizing. As a dessert we decided to order a couple more beers. We started of with ‘Heinrich’ from brewery ‘In de Nacht‘. Thereafter we ordered the ‘Stoute Gijt‘ which is a Russian Imperial Stout. The beers tasted amazing and especially the ‘Stoute Gijt’ had an incredible flavour.
Finally, we ordered our last beer which was the ‘Rochefort 10’. This beer was quite strong but it had a delicious taste!

We had an wonderful evening at this cafe and when we are back in Maastricht we will definitely visit De Gouverneur again. It is absolutely a ‘must visit’ if you are in Maastricht. Absolutely recommended!

Karalis Leiden – Restaurant review

Nick Riethoven — Thu, 16 Jul 2020 16:30:00 +0000

Restaurant Karalis is a local family restaurant in the city centre of Leiden. This restaurants serves authentic Italian dishes with a strong accent to the island of Sardenia. The restaurants only uses products imported from Italy and they try to make everything theirselves as much as possible.

The diner

We started our evening in this restaurant with homemade baguette and herb butter and a good glass of wine. As our first course we ordered the ‘Funghetti misti trifolati’ and the ‘Calamari fritti’. These were mixed mushrooms in a creamy garlic sauce and fried squid served with garlic mayonnaise. The mushrooms tasted amazing and the fried squid was really crispy and tasteful as well.

Thereafter we ordered the pizza ‘Quattro formaggi’ (four cheeses) and the ‘Ravioli al pomodoro’. The pizza was absolutely the best four cheeses pizza that we ever tasted before! The dough was crispy, but soft and the cheeses on the pizza were amazingly creamy. The ravioli also had a good taste but it could not compete with the pizza. The taste of the tomato sauce was in our opinion a bit overwhelming but the ravioli itself tasted very good!
Finally, we chose to go for the ‘Dama bianca’ and the ”Panna cotta alla fragola’. These were vanilla ice cream with hot chocolate sauce and whipped cream and homemade pannacotta with strawberries. Both of the dishes tasted superb and sweet.

We thought it was very special that most of the Karalis staff is Italian. This gives the restaurant a really different vibe and it feels like you’re in Italy the moment you enter this restaurant. We had a very pleasant evening in this restaurant and we absolutely loved the food as well! If you go to this restaurant, you should definitely try their pizzas. They are, in our opinion, the best!

Velusso Cycling Café Bruges

Nick Riethoven — Thu, 26 Mar 2020 18:30:00 +0000

The Zilverpand in the city centre of Brugge contains a very cool café named: “Velusso Cycling Café”.
Velusso is a English company who offers different cycling related activities in Europe. We did not know that it was a cycling cafe, until we started writing this review.
We noticed the café when we were strolling around in the city. We were searching for a cozy place to drink a cup of coffee and this place looked really appealing to us.

The interior is quite industrial and it is adapted to allow cyclists to fuel up. From changing rooms to a place to stall your bike, as a small store with some cycling equipment. This café has it all!
We sat down inside and ordered some coffee. The waitresses were very kind and they made beautiful latte art in our coffees. We talked a lot with each other and before we knew, we had spent hours inside Velusso.

If you are in the area, make sure you stop by and order a nice cup of coffee or something to eat.
