We had a second try in this restaurant. First try went wrong because one of our party of 4 got sick, just after the aperatif and the appetizers. We went here with a Groupon deal and we got our deals back and where told to give it a second try when everybody was feeling well again:):) Great Service. So last night we went for the second time. Again nice aperitif and great appetizers.Wow the taste was great. Than the four course diner, Every course was a small painting on a plate and it was so good. Great desser and finishing of with an espresso more treats came on the table. Had a very nice evening with great food and great service. Compliments for the kitchen and for the people in the service

This authentic tavern in the small village of Eys is a (not so hidden) gem! It's full of locals enjoying drinks, food, the fire in winter and the typical hospitality of the Limburg region. The kitchen serves all kinds of local specialties, like 'vlaai', a kind of fruit pie. In summer it has a wonderful terrace. It's an excellent starting point for hikes in the area, ranging from 2 to 5 hours. Route descriptions are available against â¬0,20 fee and have been excellently described, including equally nice stops along the way for food and drinks (see: 't Pintje in Mechelen). In the weekend dinner reservation is recommended. Parking is available in the direct neighbourhood.

Bar / restaurant / small hotel, situated adjacent to the Gulpener Brewery, with a unique charm and warm atmosphere in Gulpen. Drinks, lunch, dinner.

Stopped by here just on a whim after hitting the brewery. Waiter was friendly and joking about the fact that he didn't have any English menus available. We knew a few key menu items in Dutch but he was more than happy to help us out and describe the dishes (in very good English). Nice atmosphere, both inside and out - it began to ran about half way through our outdoor meal so they moved us inside. When we asked the bartender about the Mestreechs Aajts beer (local brew sold in Gulpen only) he took us into the their brew room for a look. Very interesting look at the Lambic/Belgian style brewing in a very small setup. We sampled some and it's a bit strong - thus some previous reviews about the beer being "sour," "bitter," and "spoiled." If you're not used to Lambic type brewing, then it is most definitely a kick in the taste buds. As for how it compares to other Lambics? Not too shabby, though I didn't bother to order a second one, I'll stick to dubbels. In my limited beer touring experience, the Gulpener menu has many beers much more suited to whatever you decide to order along with your main course. Give this one a go if you're curious or like Lambics, but I'd say start with it and drink something else with dinner. As for food, I had the Holland steak with herb sauce (Hollandse biefstuk met kruiden-pepersaus) and it was very good - especially for a "pub." Around the table we also had the beef stew cooked in a beer/apples sauce (Stoofpotje van rundvlees, bereid met Gulpener speciaalbier ) - very good; A pork knuckle marinated in their Mestreechs Aajt beer (Spaakhammetje, gemarineerd in Gulpener "Mestreechs Aajt", met stroopsaus) - better than just the beer by itself; finally, a mixed green salad with two brie coquettes (Maaltijdsalade met gegratineerde Val-Dieu kaasjes) - very good. By the end of it, all four plates were clean and no complaints. Top that off with several good local beers (all Gulpener, of course) and it was quite good. Never did make it to dessert!I recommend this place to anyone coming through Gulpener, especially if you had the fortune of getting a tour of the brewery. Short walk around the corner. Again, if you don't like VERY sour Lambic beer, then probably best to stick with the Dort, Pilsners, or Dubbel; all very good small craft beers.

Brasserie, brewery and shop where you can learn, taste, experience and buy all special beers of the Gulpener Brewery, one of the last independent large breweries, that operates fully sustainably: local sourcing of ingredients, many biological beers and beers brews to the German Reinheitsgebot. Excellent taste .

This is a great place to visit. The food is fresh and well presented. The ice creams were simply amazing. They are all made on the premises and there is so many to choose from. Its possibly the best ice cream I have ever had. We went a few times for lunch whilst visiting family in Holland. The staff were very friendly and its well worth the visit even if you just want a coffee or ice cream.

Great location to dine and wine, to watch people and to be watched. Outdoor seating is awesome! We ordered 3-course-menu which came with mustard soup, sour beef meat and dessert or Liquer coffee, the taste is okay but not spectacular. My husband ordered mix grill with medium rare but it wasn't up to our expectation. The speed of the serving could have been faster because they knew it advance that they have a private event.Overall, I may come back again. Dear Chin Y,Thank you for taking time to post a review! Hopefully we can meet up to your expectations next time! We would like to welcome you again in our restaurant. Kind regards,PeggyTeam Imperator

We went out into Gulpen to find a nice and simple place to have a meal, and we got what we were looking for!The signs in front of a small gate beckoned us in and brought us to a lovely little square covered in art and greens.It had a very nice atmosphere, really cute. The staff welcomed us in and gave us the menu - a simple choice menu, a venison menu and an a la carte menu. My boyfriend was very satisfied with the simple one, having onion soup (which was a tad too pepper-y, but still good), escalope and coffee. I was very content with the carpaccio made out of local Heuvelland ham and melon, and a main dish of rib-eye and 'diamanthaas' (a nice and tender piece of beef), also Heuvelland meat. They should make a seperate dish out of the potato gratin served with it, it was sooo good!The only thing was that we were seated pretty close to the door and every time it opened we were greeted by an icy draft.Other than that, a certain recommendation!

A visit to the Atelier is always again a surprising journey along tastefully presented dishes with inventive combinations of first class products, accompanied by a fine variety of wines or non-alcoholic fruitjuicessappen. A warm competent service supports you through this wonderful experience. Five stars are usually only reserved for the perfect experience and this was one of those !

The restaurant located in an old missionary serves a small menu with easy going meals and easy going service. Very cheap and in accordance with the meal. Not too fancy, but good to go. We had the local special "Zuur vlees" which was alright. The restaurant closes at 8 PM!!! So be in time.
