Au Coin des Bons Enfants

"Au Coin des Bons Enfants is an important part of Maastricht's culinary history, with the restaurant first being awarded a MICHELIN star in 1957. Today, Timo Reichelt and sommelier Lino de Vrede are 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 to the rear. The cuisine of chef Reichelt, who for a long time presided at Im Schiffchen in Düsseldorf, puts the ingredients front and centre. He has a rather classic cooking style, enhanced by his knack for seeking out the very best in quality ingredients and his talent for spectacular sauces. The expressive smoky flavour of a rich and buttery beurre blanc, for example, is the ideal accompaniment for a perfectly grilled North Sea turbot served with unripe mango for a hint of freshness.Veal sweetbreads are fried until golden brown, unctuous and crispy, and served alongside aromatic black truffle and a particularly creamy Chablis sauce. This is rich, traditional fare prepared by a young chef with a sound grasp of flavours. The finesse of the dishes is accentuated by the wines (also available by the glass). Ask the sommelier, a devotee of Pinot Noir and Old World wines, for recommendations." - Michelin Inspector

We can't thank the Au Coin Restaurant team enough for an unforgettable wedding dinner! From the impeccable service to the delightful ambiance and exquisite dishes and wine pairings, our special day was made truly memorable. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the fantastic dining experience and we could lean back and enjoy the night. Au Coin played a crucial role in creating cherished memories. Thank you!

We have just had an amazing dinner at Au Coin. It was an awesome experience of a truly fine dining evening. The restaurant team took us on a journey of exploring their creative and excellent quality dishes. The service was great. A tasting of sweets, made and served by their intern was a cherry on the cake. Thank you, Au Coin team!

I can see why this place no longer has a Michelin Star. Although the courtyard setting is wonderful, and the food is OK (not great, but not bad), I felt mis-treated. In spite of ordering a six-course tasting menu, plus extra caviar and a wine pairing, I felt rushed out of the restaurant so that the staff could eat before the next shift. That's not how someone at a top restaurant expects to be treated. I have also eaten at Beluga and Tout a Fait on this trip, and both were wonderful. I had previously eaten at Au Coin, in its better years, and the comparison is not favorable. I will never go back. Customers need to be appreciated.

Truly excellent dinner experience, the restaurant has a exquisite seasonal and regional menu which will surely entertain your tastebuds. For the quality and amount of dishes the price is also surprisingly fair! A real must-visit. We had an intimate group dinner which was perfectly accommodated for in the smaller corner section or the restaurant. We will surely come here during our future wedding anniversaries ☺️

Au Coin des Bons Enfants Is in my knowledge and experience it is the best restaurant in Maastricht. It has to be. It is very well known in Maastricht for good ambience and delicious food. and for their one Michelin star which they won for their good food. This restaurant is pretty much unique is all aspects. It is nestled in the old city just a hop and skip from the main market squares. The restaurant from the outside looks like an old farm house but inside is a hidden gem. The atmosphere is very French, modern, and fresh, it feels like a villa in the French countryside, I guess it has to do that they have an open terrace which is covered with grape vines all along the roof and a charming modern fountain giving it a very relaxed atmosphere. The restaurant is pretty amazing and hosts local artist's paintings which you can buy. The service is very personal. The hostess and waitress tends to your every need, we sat of a party of 4 outside in terrace which was lovely. We already had a 4 course meal booked as it was the night of the open air concert Andre rieu. I forgot to tell them I didnt eat fish or shell fish and they quickly solved that, 4 course meal felt like a 9 course as between every course came a little welcome and treat from the kitchen. Each course came with a different selection of wines to compliment the dish. I was completely full after the 2nd course. After dessert we though yeah we made it but with coffee and tea came a selection of miniature cakes and then came a layout of home made chocolate truffles which was just too good to leave behind. The price is pretty pricey, I would say top end for Maastricht. But for atmosphere, evening and food it is simply a great deal. The evening was really great. The hostess and staff I have to say are really friendly, they come and chat to you and make sure everything is up to standards and that not only are you enjoying your meal but also the whole experience. The chef also comes out and makes sure you enjoying your meal. I personally and my guests had a wonderful evening, a really good choice and I recommend that if your either looking for a night out in Maastricht or something really unique to experience in culinary than I would highly recommend you enjoy an evening at au coin des bons Enfants.

This is one of the best restaurants in the town. Though it's not star-rated anymore, the food is still amazing and the setting is very nice. Highly recommended, if you don't want to spend a fortune.
