Description

Danyel van den Bongard is a veteran of the Maastricht food scene. In his cosy, ever-inviting restaurant, he demonstrates his expertise in classic dishes with every service. He serves duck fillet with a robust sage-infused jus made from the bird itself. His playful side also comes through, for example in his creative take on vitello tonnato, which features tender octopus and a red pepper sorbet. The indulgent nature of this cuisine is reflected in the house specialities with foie gras and veal sweetbreads. Your jovial hostess, Mariska, will be happy to talk you through the dishes.
