Café de Bóbbel in Wijk 00 Centrum

The place looked cozy, and the menu was appealing. However, my husband started feeling unwell after a few minutes, and we couldn't stay. We had drinks and had to leave them almost untouched; the food hadn't arrived yet. I asked the waiter to pay quickly, as my husband had already left. I thought he wouldn't charge me for the food—you mentioned canceling, which, after ordering just a few minutes earlier, seemed perfectly manageable—but he made me pay the full amount. I understand being charged for the drinks, and perhaps for part of the food as well, but charging the full amount demonstrates, in my opinion, very little to no customer service or compassion. Perhaps he shouldn't have started the conversation with "best wishes."

It's a location that fits 100% into this beautiful little city of Maastricht.

Cozy cafe for a snack and a drink

Nice restaurant. The tournedos wasn't great and was served plain (without vegetables). You have to order fries separately.

Great food and wonderful service. The seafood truly is something. Our favorite were the shrimp pasta and escargots. The only two negative points are it is very loud and small with some uncomfortable high chairs. If you are a big a group, it may be dificilult to find (comortable) seating.

Had a great seafood plate. Atmosphere pretty nice, and seemed quite full most of the time, so was lucky to find a table. Will come back!

We had just 2 wine and a brut... Friendly service....

very nice and cozy place, food was great

Very tasteful dishes, warm atmosphere

Although there were four seats available, the two of us and one four-year-old were only allowed to sit at the bar, which is obviously not safe for such a little one. We didn't eat, so we can't comment on the kitchen.

Great place. Friendly staff, good food and drinks. Cozy atmosphere!

Cozy café in the center of Maastricht.

Very nice address where we go with my wife during our visits to Maastricht, the staff is super professional and very friendly, always a few words in French, the food is quality and it is pleasant to just have a drink with a very nice collection of gin. Don't change anything.

A huge disappointment. The service was cold, disinterested, and utterly bored. The beef bourguignon was too salty, and the amount of anise was unappetizing. For the calamari, they used the cheap, large squid variety, which they drowned in fat and garlic. The steak tartare was so tender it tasted like pure minced meat. Unappetizing texture and tasteless. The meat platter consisted of unusually bland meats with no logical order. The atmosphere and ambiance were very pleasant. However, the tables were extremely close together.

This is a charming little place, and I had a delicious meal here. The pirties are large and flavorful. The mussels are highly recommended. The staff is also super friendly.

What a shame, it used to be one of the nicest bars in Maastricht, but now it's mainly grumpy and doesn't get much attention, even though it was very quiet during our visit.

Professionals pouring pilsner the right way, with a wooden block under the gin to drink off the top, and sand on the floor. Where life is good among the Maastricht locals.

We had the most amazing cocktails in this cosy pub. The day after we went for lunch, fabulous mussels and nice variation on tuna salad on Swedish wrap. Best service in town!

Have not been there since some 20yrs. Very kind and charming service, excellent drinks and small dishes besides (reco: cheese assiette), simply a very nice place to be.

A charming restaurant with a pleasant atmosphere. The dishes are delicious and the service is attentive. A great place to recommend.

We had a wonderful meal, the best piece of meat we've had in a long time. The fries were delicious, and the oysters are highly recommended! The service was great, although we did have to wait a bit at the end. We were able to taste the wine, and the staff chose it well! Highly recommended; we'll definitely be back.

Yes, we went there for dinner and had mussels and C Leon chicken. Both were very tasty, and the server was very friendly and spoke German. FYI: For people with mobility issues, the restrooms on the first floor may be difficult to reach via the stairs. We'd be happy to come back.

We went in one evening in the recent heatwave, just fancying something lite. We has D a cheese board and a charcuterie board, with wine and beer. It was exactly right and served by a really nice, friendly member of staff. Highly recommended

The mussels are highly recommended.

En ce dimanche du début Août, tous les magasins du centre de maastricht étaient ouvert Le café de bobbel nous attire. Petit restaurant sobre, sans chichi. Le serveur, d'un certain âge, a reconnu rapidement notre francophonie, baraguinant mal le néerlandais et a fait un bel effort pour parler la langue de molière. Dans le pays où les moules de Zélande sont roi, quel ne fût pas notre surprise d'y voir affiché en devanture, des moules bretonnes. Plus petites, mais tellement goûteuses. Nous avons choisi ail et crème. Délicieuses et copieuses. Celles-ci, accompagnées d'une assiette de frites(supplément) et, sans le demander, deux pots de sauces, un mayonnaise et l'autre aïoli. Du fait maison à son caractère prononcé. Le service était relativement rapide, nous n'avons pas eu l'impression d'attendre longtemps. Deux softs, deux moules ail crème, deux frites, 61,80€

Im vollen Maastricht habe wir hier wirklich einen guten Lunch gehabt. Den Laden wurde als Bistrot aufgehübscht. Nette, gute Kellner. Man kann an der Marmor-Bar, am Tisch oder auf Hockern mit Blick aus dem Fenster auf die Fußgängerzone sitzen. Das Restaurant ist gut temperiert und man hat mal kurz Ruhe vor dem ganzen Trubel auf der Straße. Wir haben dort Kabeljau € 24,50 und den Burger Deluxe € 23,90 mit einem Glas Rose genossen. Nachdem wir bestellt hatten, kam eine große Gruppe mit Engländer herein. Alle fanden an verschieden Tischen und an der Bar Platz, obwohl das Lokal schon gut besucht war. So konnten wir auch andere Gerichte sehen, die alle sehr gut aussahen. Es gibt für alle etwas. Von Sandwiches, über kleine Barhappen, Pasta, Muscheln, Schinken, Fleisch und Nachtische wird viel angeboten. Ebenso sind uns viele Biersorten aus dem Fass aufgefallen. Ideal, wenn es draußen so drückend und die Stadt wegen dem Andrè Rieu Konzert überfüllt ist. Uns hats gut gefallen

I love the pasta truffle very much ! The interior deco rocks ! Enjoy it so much !

In a busy Maastricht, there's no one here. Unlike a few years ago when it was absolutely packed.

My boyfriend & I always love coming to Bobbel - today July 4th we celebrated my dear mother's birthday with a delicious portion of mussels and fries. Service is great, the atmosphere is great, the food is great. Highly recommended! Special thanks to the attentive gentleman who served us today, my mother felt very happy :)

Delicious food and good service

Great location. Very good service and the food was fantastic. We'll be back...

Great food, friendly staff, and fair prices. The mussels were a dream.

Great brasserie. 'Very, very good.' A shame about the fries, which aren't homemade, but the rest is excellent, and the service is pleasant and professional.

Food was very good, French cuisine.

It was very hard to find an unoccupied table here at Maastricht during King’s Day but we managed to get a table at Café de Bóbbel (which was a huge surprise as I questioned how this great place isn’t full during this Saturday evening:) Mussels are the absolute-must-have! Also, you must order their bouillabaisse, which was full of flavours🍲 Additionally, we order an amazing steak tartare and a portion of spaghetti with truffles. Both meals were delicious! If you are looking for a place to have a great lunch or dinner, I highly recommend paying Café de Bóbbel a visit!

Very good food at an acceptable price. Nice and friendly service.

A very nice restaurant. Delicious food, good service

Fantastic experience at Café de Bóbbel! Yesterday we had a delicious meal at Café de Bóbbel in Maastricht. From start to finish everything was perfect. The service was really top notch – friendly, attentive and professional. We immediately felt welcome. The food was delicious. We had, among other things, the fruit de mer platter with whole lobster as an extra, and that was a real taste explosion! The desserts, such as the crème brûlée and the cheesecake, were also delicious. The bottle of rosé and the UP rosé completed it completely. The atmosphere is cozy and the quality of both the food and the service makes it more than worthwhile. An absolute must if you are in Maastricht!

How wonderful to walk in without a reservation

Simply put: it shouldn't be more than this. Iberico croquettes definitely recommended!

Tasty cocktails, friendly service and delicious pasta with truffle!

Excellent ! Le personnel était vraiment à l’écoute, serviable et empathique. La qualité des plats, le goût… nous avions pris le burger deluxe qui était juste excellent et un plat de moules aussi bon. Juste faites attention, 5€ les frites en accompagnement ! Conseil : goûtez la mousse au chocolat, elle est divine !

Very cozy nice cafe with a good food selection

More than 5 honest stars is not possible. We'll be back

Great quick lunch with a nice glass of Chardonnay. Friendly staff and fast service. The bouillabaise with a shrimp croquette was delicious.

Wow, a great discovery 🤩 Delicious mussels. Delicious Caesar salad

Extremely tasty mussels. Good atmosphere with friendly staff. Location is close to Q-parking.

The cafe offers a warm and inviting atmosphere with generous portions of food, making it a great spot for a cozy dining experience.

Heerlijke lunch kwaliteit prijs Prima menu. Fijn personeel leuke ambiance midden in het centrum. Gaan in februari nog eens terug.

Service very friendly. Prices a bit too high. Mussels were good but not tasty in terms of taste.

Apéro Nach der Messe durch die Stadt gebummelt, dabei auf ein authentisches und sehr sympathisches Lokal gestossen. Top Service, aufmerksam, freundlich, professionell und humorvoll. Viele einheimische Gäste und gute Atmosphäre! Die Muscheln waren sehr lecker, der Wein ebenfalls. Preis/Leistung sehr fair!

Crowded place, but we know why. Very friendly service and super delicious food!

'tippi toppi' small feel-good place with a lot of charm

Absolutely popular 🔥 hotspot among well-heeled guests. Simple interior, excellent staff, cuisine: upscale. It's worth taking a look. I was impressed by the clientele, but unfortunately not by the food (had the carpaccio burger) and my friend had mussels, which were really great 👍.

The service was good and the food was delicious. The mussel pot was great with wine, even if you dipped the soup in the bread and ate it! Recommended!

En betje druk. Maar het eten was heel good. Good service. A bit crowded and we had to wait. But it was worth it. My recommendation: mussels Breton style / mosselen bretonse wijze and burgers. Brand's 0.0% IPA was also delicious.

First time in the "new" Bobbel. What a surprise! Delicious food, tasty drinks and top (Mestreechse) service! Just as it should be.

Na verbouwing is de sfeer nog steeds niet terug en zal zo blijven met de huidig bediende en keuken brigade! Rommelig en luisteren niet echt. Bouillabaisse veel en veel te zout, liefdeloos klaargemaakte pot net zoals de mosselen volledig door en kapot gekookte prut, slechte kwaliteit mosselen veel te heet en smaak Nul. Een volgende keer…? Laat maar.

Beste, afgelopen vrijdag wilden wij heel graag kennis maken met de heerlijke gerechten en service van cafe de Bóbbel. Wij waren een weekendje weg en hadden geen reservering gemaakt. Bij binnenkomst zagen we de bui al hangen, maar bleven keurig bij de ingang wachten tot we gedag werden gezegd en geholpen. Zagen nl een plekje bij de bar voor een evt aperitief. Hoewel vol, is het een relatief klein restaurant en liepen er drie man sterk. We hebben zeker 5 min staan wachten, maar er werd geen boe of bah tegen ons gezegd, geen oogcontact of goedenavond. Ookal heb je een goed lopende zaak, lijkt vriendelijkheid en gastvrijheid toch de basis en kost niks. Ondanks de honger hadden we ons buik er vrij snel van vol om te staan wachten op niks. Gelukkig konden we bij Cafe Madrid wel genieten van vriendelijkheid en gastvrijheid. Kan het eten nog zo lekker zijn, zonder een goeie restaurant brigade heb je nog niks.

Bouillabaisse, fantastically delicious!

Awesome!!! Everything is correct. Recommended: pasta alla vongole

It's nice to eat some oysters at the bar with a good glass of wine

Nice place for a snack or a drink!

A very nice thing Food very good. Service top notch. Atmosphere very good.

Lovely place to eat, good wine with good advice. Always a pleasure to sit at the bar with the hospitable bartender Raymond 🍀

Nice place to have a drink or a bite to eat. Cozy atmosphere and perfect service.

Had a nice lunch in a pleasant atmosphere and an attentive, nice waiter.

Super tasty food!! Highly recommended

Cozy bistro. The pasta vongole and the salmon sandwich were delicious. Friendly service. Definitely going back again.

Had a nice meal this afternoon! We had a caesar salad and a carpaccio salad, both super tasty! Service was also super good and friendly!

A super restaurant. Fun, relaxed and very tasty food. You cannot make a reservation there. Step inside and hope you have a seat.

You can eat well here, steak tartare as a starter, lobster as a main course, served with fries and a green salad. For dessert the eclair and the parfait. The ministry had to get going. After some discussion about serving two glasses of wine for one person for two courses at the same time, it seemed a bit strange. It may be useful for the waiter, but this is certainly not common! It didn't spoil the fun, after some clarity about this, he agreed with us, and in the end it was a done deal. The food was otherwise fine, the desserts were not our thing.

Lekker gelunched. De ceacersalad was best groot. Miste alleen de ansjovis. Ook de bouilabaise was lekker maar miste toch ook wat vis. Witte chardonnay was best maar aan de prijs

The Bobbel. Normally great. A bit busy tonight, but no excuse. Aperitif on time, drink too. Hours later: still no starter. Waitress was very correct and indicated that they had exchanged receipts. Okay, drink on the house. Half an hour later: “yes sir, it is now in the oven (steak tartare?). 20 minutes further finally. Main course again half an hour later. Stew tasted more like anise than a throat lozenge from the drugstore. Too bad. If you can't handle the crowds, don't do it. Never again. And that's a shame, because we live nearby. Good luck with your store.

Great location in a beautiful city. Food was delicious. Service friendly and attentive. Ambience nice. It's a bit tight.

The place is nice but pretty crowded. I would describe the service as "brisk," not unfriendly, but we felt more processed than served. I guess they are a little victim of their success. The food was great, we really enjoyed it. I would say, we probably should go back on a less busy day, because clearly there is something to it.

Very nice - great atmosphere and food, very nice staff - always nice :)

Tried to have dinner at Café De Bóbbel, Wolfstraat 32. We were allowed to wait at the bar for a table to become available, “10 to 30 minutes”. But after less than 5 minutes, 2 girls came in, they were immediately given a table and a little later their order was taken. We were still sitting at the bar without being served. We have never experienced this before. So we went to another restaurant. We'll never come here again

Staffs was really friendly and nice. We went during lunch hour and had a sandwiches burger. Tastes are fine and there are other choices too but personally felt the others less interesting. However, didn’t manage to try their mosselen so probably will be returning for another try!

Fantastic food and service. Highly recommended. We went there for lunch.

Visited for lunch. I ordered the lunch combo of bouillabaisse and croquette toast. Bouillabaisse is full of seafood and delicious! The croquettes were also rich and delicious 🙌🏻 This set might be a good deal at 19.90€ ☺︎

super lekker gegeten, bijzonder vriendelijke bediening, heerlijke bouillabaise en ook een heel leuke setting, lekker en goede prijs kwaliteit, echt een aanrader

Cool atmosphere, very good, attentive service, delicious bistro dishes Conclusion: place to be

Enjoy excellent wine and the best Latte macchiato of 2024. The service was excellent.

Cozy and attractively decorated, delicious food, quick and helpful service

Super atmosphere, great food and excellent service, we will be back !

Good food and a very pleasant host.

Always worth a visit! Are here every time!

Bouillabaisse with too little fish, mainly mussels and shellfish. Sea bass fish cooked simply in a pan with vegetables was good. We came out hungry. And be careful, small side fries = €5 supplement.

Delicious wine, bar bites were delicious! The crispy BBQ chicken is highly recommended. Serrano croquettes and scampi are also delicious! Service very welcome and friendly, cozy atmosphere!

Super lekker gegeten en zeer vriendelijk personeel. komen zeker nog keer terug. Super leuk tentje en leuke menu kaart.

Thank you, everything was very tasty. Good service

The French onion soup here is delicious and the bistro atmosphere is nice. Quite trendy and a great price.

Food was good! Fries with mayonnaise were delicious and the rest a bit too salty, but overall a nice place for a dinner :)

We had moules avec de frites which were good. Not great but good. What bothered us was that other people around us ordered later than us and got the food earlier. We waited 30 minutes for the escargots and another 40 minutes for the moules which is too long and not acceptable.

The night started off promisingly with a helpful young waitress looking after us attentively including sympathetically moving us away from a very noisy adjacent table. Starter was fine. The main course however was tipped over my partner and myself which unfortunately contained an oily hot fat garlic sauce, which very noticeably stained my new shirt but more seriously went all down my partners white jeans. After finishing our replenished main course all we really wanted to do was just leave. Initially the waiter, a nice young man, offered us a free coffee to compensate which understandably we were not really interested in. After 20 minutes of muttered discussion by the management (who called in the manager from next door) all they could do was offer to cover our cleaning bills, which as we were leaving next day was of no use whatsoever. In many countries I have visited this is NOT the normal way of dealing with such issues. Accidents happen, but most responsible management usually deal a lot more sympathetically with them than at this establishment that only appeared interested in extracting payment without any serious remedy to what was after all totally their fault. Basically can only say this is a TOURIST TRAP of note and best avoided!

Very nice restaurant, not overcrowded, delicious cuisine, friendly staff.

No atmosphere after renovation, prices too high, service not friendly.

Elke keer als we in Maastricht zijn (we proberen jaarlijks) is de Bòbbel vaste prik. Heerlijk lunchen, borrelen of dineren aan de bar of een klein tafeltje die wel echt dicht op elkaar staan. Een privé gesprekje moet je hier niet willen voeren :-) De kaart is erg afwisselend, het personeel attent. Helaas duurde het wel wat lang tussen de middag terwijl het zaakje nu niet vol zat. Aanrader!

This is a cosy place with friendly staff and reasonable prices. The food is of good quality, but the menu is rather small. The food that was served though was satisfactory for us.
