Au Coin

"Au Coin des Bons Enfants holds an important place in Maastricht's culinary history having received its first MICHELIN Star back in 1957. Driven by youthful energy, Timo Reichelt and sommelier Lino de Vrede are now writing a new chapter that pays all due respect to the past, maintaining the establishment's elegant and romantic ambience, including a fabulous secluded terrace. Chef Reichelt's cooking puts the produce centre stage. His style is rather classic, enhanced by his knack for drawing the very best out of quality ingredients and his talent for spectacular sauces. The deep flavour of a beurre blanc enriched with icewine, for example, perfectly ties together pan-seared North Sea turbot and a succulent cut of Livar pork. Or he pan-fries yearling venison the meat to a perfect medium-rare and finishes it with a glossy, rich sauce grand veneur and the sweet, vibrant tang of redcurrants. This is indulgent traditional fare prepared by a young chef with a sound grasp of flavours. The finesse of the dishes is accentuated by the wines. The sommelier delights in sharing his passion for Pinot Noir and wines from the Old World, which are also available by the glass." - Michelin Inspector
