Just great! The castle has a wine cellar hewn in the limestone and there are guest rooms inside. Very impressive. The food and service are beyond reproach! A culinary as well as an optical experience.

Mighty beautiful location for wedding celebrations but also a delicious dine for 2 is absolutely fine. Atmosphere is top, friendly service everything you expect from this location. Give the staff two thumbs up and keep it up.

Had a great lunch on a Sunday afternoon. Delicious and beautiful dishes and fine wines. Service is super friendly and very attentive. Beautiful location. Was a great experience again, as always. Looking forward to the next visit. You deserve another star for us. Thank you team of Chateau Neercanne you are great.

This is not your average Dining experience....This is a restaurant to which all other restaurants should be set and have their standards judged by.

I could not believe how good the food here was, even took a visit back the following day for a nose around the wine cellar to learn a little bit about the history of the place (Maastricht Treaty)
The food was artistic with superb balance of flavours suble yet surprising with some flavours just suddenly packing a real punch but disappearing almost as quickly.

The sommelier was excellent, bringing us wine that simply embodied the meal not over powering it at all.

This is a must...go nuts have the 'House menu'

Really had a fantastic evening. Delicious eaten and very pleasant staff. Gilbert spoke passionately about the preparation of the beautiful dishes. Matching wines were delicious and the magnolia kombucha developed during the lockdown was a real surprise. Great to see how passionate these people are with their profession. The personal surprise for our 10 year marriage made it complete. We will definitely come back again!

The ministry will have a good minute. Delayed from 15:00 to 20:00. During this time only 1 waiter came to us on his own initiative and asked if we wanted a drink. Half an hour later, however, I went back to the back because it did not come.

Bizarrely good. Total "must". If you like a nice dinner (meat, fish, vegetables) in combination with suitable wine: do it! We sat outside on the terrace, with a beautiful view. A delicious cheese platter with Chateau Plince 2014 finishes it (served in the cellar).

You enter the large central hall next to the restaurant with its luxurious, classical decor, large crystal lusters, old antique oak floor, round tables covered with fine linen and a skirt, with comfortable armchairs covered in cobalt blue velvet with the castle's coat of arms on it.

We were escorted to a table by the window, great. A cava as an aperitif, the Brut van Portium which pleased me well. Next to it warm French chouquettes spiced with lovage and shavings of parmesan, tasty.

The appetizer was a table preparation. In a golden cocktail glass, cubes of puffed celeriac with mustard seeds topped with a bound broth of celeriac and finished with a grater from Fiore Sardo (a smoked sheep cheese from Sardinia), which created a pleasant aroma. Winter flavors with a leading role for celeriac.

Followed by an amuse duo. To start a mousse of macadamia in a citrus vinaigrette with slender stakes of granny smith and pieces of chicory, delicious.
On a golden spoon a chutney of beetroot on which a slice of Florence Maritime (Belgian goat brie) and cream of basil, covered with jelly of escabeche with a crunch of sourdough, very tasty.

The first companion was neatly presented, van Hoeve Nekum (the neighbors) a Riesling 2015, elegant with a round attack. A dish with cheerful colors from the kitchen. Thick slices of lightly pickled kingfish in a vinaigrette of sambai vinegar in which trout eggs, bordered with Shiro Miso (soy pasta). Add a quenelle of delicious king crab salad, balls of avocado and crispy seaweed. Fairly complex taste experience with refined flavors and fresh accents. (8)

From South Africa a nice thick "Unwooded" Chardonnay 2017 from Constantia Uitsig. The chef himself presented his gnocchi dish. Three brown roasted gnocchis with liquid filling of Mimolette, finished with shaved Mimolette and diced cream of celeriac with thick slices of winter truffle, in a frothy stock market prepared with truffle. Normally I am not a gnocchi lover but this savory version with nice truffle touch is the tastiest I have ever eaten. The chardonnay fitted in seamlessly. (8.25)

On to Italian red with a Primitivo Merlot from Feudi Di San Marzano, full of ripe black fruit and an elegant aftertaste. The pie, pieces of slightly crispy fried and softly stewed Black Angus short rib on which melting goose liver with potato grits on spinach beds, a central preparation of chicory with small sprouts and a mushroom in a sauce of smoked butter. The meat was for sucking, beautiful full flavors that were enhanced by the fresh tones of the wine. The highlight of the afternoon, enjoy! (8.75)

For dessert, a Welschriesling Auslese 2017 from Gerhard Haider with a beautiful vanilla touch and round acids in the mouth. On the plate a melange of citrus fruit from Humberto Martinez (grower from Valencia). In candied yuzu juice flesh of blood orange, orange and grapefruit with slices of kumquat and pearls of white chocolate, finished with a quenelle of pistachio ice cream at the table. Delicious acids with juicy textures, partner had ginger sorbet, which I personally thought fit better than the pistachio. The Welschriesling remained neat and upright. (8)

We were allowed to eat the valve in the vaults between the wine storage, fine. A powerful espresso with a delicious cake of dulce de leche caramel on a chocolate biscuit.

Service was excellent provided by a large team, correct with Limburg cosiness.

In summary, I can state that the experience was beyond expectations. Fine dishes in a classical style with modern influences and well-selected wines in a luxurious location. A real treat afternoon, until next time, thanks!

A historic little castle with a lot of stories surrounding the area with underground tunnels all the way from the world war times. Went for a walk and laterally felt like a trio to the past. Amazing views and scenery. Would definitely recommend to go for a walk/hike and was a day well spent!!

An atypical place at the gates of Maastricht, an extraordinary culinary experience, French gastronomy in the heart of Limburg. Undoubtedly an address to visit for gastronomical apprentices as well as for confirmed olus. A positive point for the service which is carried out in Dutch, English, German or French, which allows you to benefit from the experience in your mother tongue.

Small passage through the places on the go. The restaurant itself is quite cold due to its castle look. The places have not been designed to make things more modern or warm, it is really the original side that has been preserved. In terms of cooking, I must admit that I was not transported yet I must say that despite the fact that I still often go to two stars there are still one star restaurants that can still make him travel but here it does not been the case. The senses were not surprised and the dishes did not take me on a journey. No visual surprise, no real discovery. No white truffle on the menu, in short not much good point and especially a granita for dessert when we are in the middle of the winter season.

Had a fantastic evening with delicious dishes and fantastic wine! What a joy to eat here. The staff was super attentive and very friendly. An absolute must and definitely worth repeating!

We had a wonderful experience at the amazing Chateau Neercanne. The staff was impeccable. They were nice, funny, attentive, knowledgeable and last but certainly not least attractive! The food was amazing and they were knowledgeable about my gluten free diet and even brought me gluten free bread. The scenery is amazing, the Chateau is beautiful inside and out. We were able to get a quick tour of the wine cellar but if time permits, have a drink there before or after your meal. We had an amazing 8 course meal with wine pairings as well as a delicious homemade kombucha liquor drink to start. It is not a cheap meal, but you definitely get what you pay for! Celebrate a special occasion and soak up every minute!
