Eetcafé Ceramique

Good food and good beer. Best zuurvlees in town (although I’m not Dutch so my opinion probably doesn’t count). The Dame Blanche is my favorite dessert, but my favorite part is that they happily supply endless carafes of free tap water (yes, I’m obviously not even European)! If you have a group, be sure to make a reservation, especially on the weekend because it fills up fast.

We had a great dinner!
The restaurant is very nice and service is dynamic and smiley!
All salad and vegetables were very fresh and tasty! We had zuurvlees and konijn Maastricht style, it was very tasty.
As a starter, I had shrimps croquette but I am sure they have better choices. The menu offers a lot of different choices… Meet, fish, vegetarians… You’ll find your «thing»!

Ceramique surprised us by it’s good prices and good food. We were expecting to pay a lot more as per the website menu. I had the 20 year anniversary menu and the wife had the chef’s menu.
They wouldn’t serve light drinks because it contains aspartame, so the wife had to settle for H2O. I had a very nice red house wine.
For starters, i got a nice asparagus soup which was good but not exciting. She had the carpaccio of fillet of beef with truffle mayonaise which was heavenly.
My main course was a Limburg zuurvlees, sort of a stew of sweet and sour meat. This is without a doubt the best zuurvlees i have ever had. She had the duckbreast fillet cranberry sause. I had a taste and it was great. Tender duckbreast and a fresh sause. Very good indeed.
Fort dessert there was a walnut –honey parfait which was nice but not great. She had the best darn chocolate mousse i have ever tasted. Chocolaty and creamy.
There was a big group for a birthday so they were very busy. But there was enough attention to the other guests. They really fly for you here. The staff is friendly and charming.
We were an hour earlier than we had reserved for, but that wasn’t a problem either.
The interior is a bit dull, bright lights and not very cosy. Plain and simple, no music.
All in all a very good food experience and i would definitely recommend this place for local food.

Quiet restaurant, with a lot of space between the tables. The atmosphere is quiet and very pleasant. The food is awesome, it is special with awesome vegetarian plates. Great place!

Très bel endroit (tendance) et très bonne cuisine. J’aime particulièrement les scampis au fromage (probablement gouda). Il s’agit de scampis décortiqués recouverts de lamelles de fromages et gratinés au four. C’est un régal, mais malheureusement seulement une entrée. Sinon il y a une très jolie carte de vins. Le service est très sympa, mais ultra lent — j’y suis retourné plusieurs fois, donc c’est un fait vérifié ;-(Je conseille donc d’y aller avec des ami (e)s qui ont beaucoup de choses à dire, voire un peu bavard (e)s si possible…
Ultime détail, les proprios changent d’adresse avec une facilite déconcertante, en fait, cette adresse vient de rouvrir, avant ils étaient a un autre numéro dans la même rue, et encore avant il était a l’adresse actuelle (vous me suivez ?)

Gemütliches Restaurant auf zwei Stockwerken in altem Maastrichter Stadthaus, mit für niederländische Verhältnisse recht ausgefallener Speisekarte. Sehr zu empfehlen: das vegetarische (groene) Menü. Auch für Nichtvegetarier!
Ich hatte als Vorspeise in Balsamico marinierte Champignons, perfekt dezent süsssauer, als Hauptspeise Waldpilz-​Risotto mit Rucolapesto und Pecorino, als Nachspeise Vanille-​Eis mit warmen roten Beeren in Rotwein — alles wunderbar zubereitet.
Abends ist eine Reservierung zu empfehlen, wenn man es gerne ruhig hat, am besten im oberen Stockwerk, da es im Lauf den Abends unten sehr lebhaft wird.
Steht schon wieder auf der Liste für den nächsten Maastrichtbesuch!
