Going out: an unsuspected culinary art
Eh yes, it is possible to eat well in Holland… And it is in Maastricht that it happens, because the city was under French governance for two centuries! No more chauvinism ... you should know that two restaurants are starred in the Michelin guide: the Beluga and the Totally. Other restaurants and cafes elegantly offer simpler cuisine for successful outings.
