Some of her favorite spots are:
Cup & Vino for the best coffee in town, breakfast, or lunch, and also perfect for Sunday afternoon drinks!
After a nice walk or bike ride through the Geul Valley are Boscafé Tivoli and de Nachtegaal are pre-eminently the coziest places for something for everyone. From a delicious cappuccino to lunch or from drinks to dinner.
Gasterij de Koffiemolen, Brasserie Burgemeester Quicx, and Taverne ’t Koetshuis are also not to be missed for a great cup of coffee, a delicious piece of Limburg pie, drinks, or lunch.
Or enjoy a lovely meal by the Geul at Bistro Aan de Linde, a charming French bistro with a delicious menu, or at Taverna Nous for a surprisingly tasty and relaxed dining experience.
For a good steak and the best ribs in town, she visits Restaurant Meat@Valkenhof.
For pizza & pasta in a trendy setting, Restaurant La Casa.
Restaurant Sunndays has a more refined menu with diverse, surprising choices.
Zin in Aziatisch eten? Dan is Koco Bistro Bar zeer zeker een aanrader.
Finally, the Greek Tavern Christos should not be missed for the best “pita gyros” in the village. Simple but oh so delicious and she should know!
For a fine dining evening, there are also many beautiful fine dining restaurants in the area. Here are a few she would recommend:
