10x taste autumn in Maastricht
With the transition to a new season, we are treated to all kinds of goodies. Because with the falling of the leaves, Maastricht's culinary entrepreneurs conjure up the most beautiful new seasonal dishes. We list 10 tips for you!
Café Local
On one of the most beautiful (and sunny) corners of the Markt, you'll find Café Local. This Maastricht café offers you the best view of the Town Hall and the bustling weekly markets. What's so great about Local is that they give a fresh twist to Maastricht's best local dish: Limburg-style sweet and sour beef stew. They have in fact made a vegetarian version of this. Something that makes us very happy! Warm up at Café Local after a fresh city walk... Enjoy!

With more than 70 craft beers, there really is something for everyone, but they are happy to advise you! A (heart)warming drink this autumn? You’ll find it at Falstaff.

Au Mouton Blanc
Although this typical Maastricht café in the city centre is a great place to dance the night away, many people forget that you can also enjoy lunch and dinner here. As far as we are concerned, try the Liege meatballs, a typical autumnal dish! The Walloon city, which is less than 30 minutes from Maastricht, has a significant influence on our local cuisine. Delicious, served with a generous portion of fries and mayonnaise!

Whether you go for a cheeseboard or their famous grilled onion soup, chances are you'll be dancing the night away at the bar with all your fellow burgundians!
