Riverside Lounge Maastricht in Wijk 00 Centrum

This is the second year we have stopped at this café-restaurant. The place is very modern, clean, and located along the river. The waitress, who is a bit older, is very professional. Prices are reasonable. I highly recommend it.

Waited 45 minutes for a drink. Whenever we made a comment about it, it was simply ignored.

Hostess was very rude and full of attitude. No freedom of choice where you want to sit even though the place was empty and all tables are the same size. Got up and walked out without ordering and sadly would not return or recommend.

The seating is very pleasant with a lovely view of the Maas River and the boat landing. The food is very good and reasonably priced. They also have gluten-free bread for the delicious toast. Thank you!

A very nice restaurant in a great location right on the river, with attentive service. The food was delicious and excellent value for money. Highly recommended.

Beautiful interior design, nice view to the Maas

Nice view of Servaas Bridge; very disinterested service

I went there in summer and I absolutely loved it! The seating area was awesome, with a view of the river. And the service was really good(very friendly staff). The food was also delicious. I recommend the scampi pasta(it’s insane).

Unfortunately, it wasn't a good experience. We didn't receive a warm welcome upon arrival. The host was full of food and apologized for the wait. They hadn't seen our reservation, so they couldn't accommodate us, even though only three tables were occupied. We had to check with the kitchen to see if they were still open. We were told we could only be seated for a main course. It was Friday evening at 7:00 PM.

Delicious food and fast service.

Great view, friendly service Super tasty food

music was a bit too loud for my taste but a very nice view and good food!

Don't be misled by the negative reviews, because we received a very warm welcome. We were a group of 66 people and had soup and bread for lunch. Admittedly, it could have used a bit more bread. Then, in the evening, our 66 guests were presented with a delicious menu. It would be difficult to please all 66 people, but we were quickly provided with drinks and (delicious) food, which isn't easy with a large group. The staff was very friendly: I think that if you are friendly yourself, it reflects on the staff.

What terribly arrogant staff. For our first drink, we had to go up ourselves to order because no one came to us. For our second drink, we were then snapped at by the older woman with the gray bob. She thought it would have been "courteous" if we had gone back up ourselves. Sorry? Apparently, going down four steps is too much trouble? We were just relaxing in the sun on the fatboys, but instead of service, all we got was grumpiness and arrogance. And then when we wanted to pay, we were sent from pillar to post. It's a beautiful location, but the staff completely ruins the whole atmosphere.

Very cozy and fancy looking restaurant, food was great, we we're not waiting too long - which was great, because we were hungry (lol). Very nice spot in Maastricht. ❤️

For the older ones among us: Fawlty Towers but with factor 10.

Friendly staff and a great atmosphere. The drink selection could be larger.

Very poor service. No attention.

We wanted to have a drink before boarding a boat tour. We asked several times for someone to take our order, but they were all too busy chatting or indicated they wouldn't take our order. The person who was supposed to take our order walked right past us. A group of 18 people is probably too much to ask. Such a shame.

We tried the Riverside Lounge in Maastricht and were well received by the waiter. A slight initial drawback: the menu placed on the table wasn't the correct one, forcing us to change our choice of dishes. The wait was then quite long, even though the restaurant wasn't particularly full. The plates were nicely presented, but the taste wasn't really there, with rather bland flavors overall. We therefore found the value for money a bit high. On the other hand, the setting is modern and pleasant, and the location on the banks of the Meuse remains a real plus.

We wanted to have a nice meal for our wedding anniversary yesterday and were lured by the name and the location on the Maas, which turned into one of the worst dining experiences we've ever had. At around 6 p.m. there was hardly anyone going on. On second glance, the outdoor terrace was very unloved and shabby. When the starter was delivered, we had to ask for cutlery and napkins, but there were only packaged wet wipes. Then nothing happened for two hours - there were no customers inside and maybe eight people outside. We had to ask for the old things to be cleared away with the second bottle of water. Around 8 p.m. we were fed up and wanted them to keep the bill and the main course. Somewhat surprised, she walked back and came straight back with the food. One look was enough; the food was cold and inedible, and the grilled chicken looked disgusting and not grilled. We went to pay, but they insisted we pay for the salad and accepted my cold food, so they left. In summary: clueless service, unacceptable food, and disastrous organization. What a pity for a special evening 😥

Yes, I can recommend it. Every time we're in Maastricht, we end up there. So far, we've never been disappointed. The food, drinks, staff, and even the location are top-notch.

Had to wait a long time for staff who only spoke English. When paying, everything was rather abrupt. Next time I'll look for something else in Maastricht.

Very tasty food, and the breading on the fries was free too. 👍🏼 Here you can see my bruschetta with a Coke, which unfortunately was only 200 ml.

Very warm welcome from an elderly lady, excellent service and hospitality. The crispy burger is to die for. We'll be back 😁

We recently moved to Germany from the Dominican Republic and discovered this wonderful restaurant on a day trip to the Netherlands. We received a very warm welcome as soon as we entered – especially from the waitress Yosune. She was incredibly personable, competent, and friendly. You could immediately tell that she is passionate about her job. We immediately felt at home because Yosune not only served us professionally, but also spoke to us sensitively and welcomed us. Such a positive attitude and warmth are rare – she truly made our visit special. Thanks to her, the atmosphere was cheerful and relaxed, and we had a wonderful stay. We will definitely be back – and wholeheartedly give her five stars!

Food was ok, nothing special but the staff were just rude, didn’t want to serve, couldn’t be bothered with basic manners like hello etc and couldn’t produce a bill just a total on the payment machine which was odd in itself…!

a beautiful brasserie, lovely location and delicious food, shame about the grumpy waiter.

A truly beautiful spot on the water, and we've been there many times and never had a single complaint. Everything is great, nothing wrong with it, friendly staff, and especially the slightly older lady Wilma is a super sweet woman and does her job well. I wouldn't pay attention to other reviews that criticize everything, because that's really not fair. Great team!! Hein and Monique

There were 14 of us, and everyone had a great time! Friendly and welcoming staff.

Far too few staff for a Sunday. They didn't have any drinks, and if I ordered something else, it was forgotten. Things can get complicated when it's busy, but with too few staff, it's completely impossible. Tables weren't cleared, but the staff were friendly.

A very long wait for drinks that are not exceptional, move on and then the staff do nothing.

It's crazy to make people wait an hour for a mojito that tastes like water, and on top of that, a bar with no atmosphere. Basically, I wasted an hour of my life and arrived late at the restaurant. Run far away!

Arrived at 4:30 PM, ordered at 5 PM, order arrived at 5:40 PM!! No respect, Gin & Tonic drinks in non-alcoholic mojito glasses, even though we said they were. In short, the worst bar in the world.

Turned off, it was bad long, there's no music.

Very nice and friendly. Cozy atmosphere in Maastricht 🤗

We were there with 25 people yesterday. This is beyond the extremely incompetent service. And by incompetent I mean, forgotten orders, long waits for drinks. After finishing the starter we had to wait over an hour for the main course. The table was not cleared in the meantime. All that time the empty plates and glasses just remained there. We decided to do this ourselves. And that was a good thing because the main course was being served. The food was excellent by the way. Unfortunately it is only the chef who does his job properly here. The service is really incompetent and unfit for this job! Still too stupid to dance for the devil... Worthless!! We will not be coming back here either!

A disappointing experience at a beautiful location in Maastricht After a previous positive experience in the morning with coffee, pie and drinks – also with a group of 25 people – we decided to visit this restaurant again later that day. Unfortunately, this was a big disappointment. First of all, the drinks took an incredibly long time to arrive. With a group of this size, and with reservations made well in advance, discussed and the menu passed on, you expect some organization, but that was completely lacking. Tables were not cleared in time, which quickly made it look messy. What was particularly offensive was the way the drinks were served: they were casually placed on the corner of the table, accompanied by the comment “can you pass it on yourselves?” – with a group of 25 people, that is downright unprofessional. As if that wasn’t enough, even when explicitly asked “those two drinks have to go there”, this instruction was completely ignored. The lady in question simply turned around and walked away. What was most offensive was the lack of hospitality. You would expect a group of 25 people, who had already spent a considerable amount of money earlier in the day, to be treated with a little more enthusiasm and some respect. Except for two young ladies, who were customer-friendly and attentive, the staff radiated little to no enthusiasm or hospitality. No smile, no attention - it felt like we were a burden. With years of experience in the hospitality industry myself, I can say with certainty: this team is simply not suited for this. And that in such a top location in a beautiful city like Maastricht... This business is unfortunately not a calling card for the city and certainly not a hotspot as stated on their own website In short: this was once, but never again.

Service was not paying attention, had to ask for attention several times. Lunch dish forgotten to be started, my mother got the dish immediately. After asking several times finally heard that it had been forgotten. In the end no compensation received on the bill, but only an offer of a coffee on the house. Great food, but service really dramatically bad.

Beautifully situated along the Maas, view of shipping. Nice sunny outdoor terrace or inside in bad weather with also a view of the Maas. After our visit to Maastricht we always rest here with a drink and a snack.

Service and staff were slow and we didn't get clean glasses for drinks.

Rober is the best guy ever and best worker i ever saw. INCREADIBLE

Despite all other reviews: our experience at River Lounge in Maastricht was, in one word, fantastic! From the moment we walked in, we felt very welcome. The service was not only attentive and professional, but above all incredibly friendly – ​​real people who know their trade and enjoy doing it. The food? Delicious! Every dish was perfectly seasoned, beautifully presented and prepared with care. You can taste the quality and the love with which it was made. From the starter to the dessert: everything was perfect. For us, River Lounge is highly recommended. We will definitely come back here and recommend it to anyone who is looking for a cozy atmosphere, top service and culinary enjoyment in the heart of Maastricht.

Beautiful location on the Kesselkade with a view of the moorings/departures of the tour boats. We used a coffee and pie arrangement with a group inside the restaurant. Outside a large terrace where it is great to stay when the weather is nice.

This is by far the worst restaurant I have ever seen It wasn't really busy Location would normally have a lot of potential Then came my starter. Italian ham with asparagus With truffle oil Really how do you come up with the idea of ​​preparing it like that Just laughable 1 big vague mess No words for it Then after an hour the sea bass I had ordered came swimming in via the Maas It was that cold With warm olives underneath Not crispy at all Ridiculous My wife had the sour meat and that was fine in itself Then another hour later I was done with it and indicated that I wanted to pay without dessert That was allowed to take a while Still put on my coat and demanded the bill 74 euros for complete crap I have never eaten so badly in my life and felt the need to respond to it like that, especially because it seems like a lot there. I think it's a shame about the location but with such incompetent staff They didn't even know the difference between a weizen or normal😅 (which I experienced) Do you work in Maastricht Sad Staff standing at the bar with everyone Only reacts to certain looks from customers In short Balle toko Absolute no⛔️

Normally we always come here. But this is the first time we encounter such a hostile attitude. I think the tall blonde waitress needs a break. She forgot that he should be polite to the customer. We will never come back.

Friendly service, very keen to speak German. Great. Nice view Food: Plenty of choice, but fries were missing as a side dish.

Everything perfect. Food good quality, not expected, from Amsterdam and really satisfied, music must come 🙂

After the order, do not expect anything. Because they expect to finish your receipt, and leave as fast as you can.

1 star is too much!!! Bad operation, bad service. Beautiful location, shame. We sat on the terrace with only 4 other couples. Empty inside. There were 4 staff hanging around inside. We were stared at shamelessly. Don't even ask if everything was to your liking. People even got up and left. We were literally looked away by the staff. SHAME!!! Never experienced that before. Food was 'ok'

I expected better! The meat is terrible! The waiter didn't bring the whole order! Money down the drain!

Never again this terrace. The service was downright bad. Upon arrival we were cut off in an unfriendly manner by a lady with gray, short hair. It then took over half an hour before someone took our order. The drinks didn't arrive for another thirty minutes, and the cappuccino was also cold. We didn't get our nachos until after an hour. When we wanted to pay, we had to wait a long time again. We didn't even dare to speak to the lady anymore because she treats customers so disrespectfully. She is absolutely not suitable for this job. So not a second time for us!

It started with the order. An older woman immediately made strange comments during the order, such as when I asked to raise the parasol, she said "ho, wait a minute, that's not possible. I have to ask the other customers about this first." We had ordered cappuccino, coffee, two mocktails and nachos. Nachos came pretty quickly but the drinks took a while. Not just that, 30 minutes. Then after a long time the order came, coffee cold, cappuccino cold, nachos cold. We wanted to order something again, but we were gagged by the same woman to wait a moment with a hand gesture. You really shouldn't be here! Spend your money somewhere else!!

If you go to the disabled toilet with your disabled daughter, you can first clear away the rubble!!! This is really not possible! rarely seen.

Despite the beautiful location on the water, our visit to Riverside Lounge in Maastricht was unfortunately anything but successful. I have never left my plate until my visit here – that says it all. I ordered a pasta with eggplant, cherry tomatoes, garlic and ricotta. What I was served (see photo) was a plate of pasta with (tasteless) tomato sauce, without a single visible piece of eggplant. When I expressed my doubts about whether I had received the right pasta, I was assured that the eggplant was 'in the sauce', but there was really no sign of that - no taste, no texture, nothing at all. Nothing further was done with my feedback. The most disappointing thing? That we were not even asked at checkout whether everything was to our liking or whether it had tasted good. As if no one cared that the plate returned to the kitchen untouched. A missed opportunity, because the location is beautiful. But we won't come back here for the food.

Beautiful view and friendly service.

Nice place to sit with a view over the water. Food was fine. Just no soap in the toilets.

Just had a drink. I didn't feel welcome there. Nice view. And sat in the sun. Service looked unkempt.

old white haired working woman is very disrespectful

You can enjoy a latte macchiato on the sunny terrace.

Very tasty fries and veggie burgers, was happy with everything, very friendly service, very nice atmosphere, you can sit inside and outside with a view of the Maas, only the toilets could be kept cleaner. By the way, barrier-free, lots of stairs…

Very nice place for a quiet drink or meal

Nice and cozy restaurant, nice staff and very tasty food. Nice menu for lunch and dinner, cozy atmosphere, beautifully situated on the Maas. Also a nice taras when the weather is nice. Just good.

Very nice place! Enjoyed a delicious meal during a weekend of shopping. Service very friendly. Didn't have to wait long. Nice view of the water.

Nice place with friendly staff. It was cold there, so the best solution was to build a double door at the entrance. Will also save on heating costs 😄

Beautiful location Nicely decorated place But the service and label need work. The food was ok

1 star is still too much for this sad ball tent! We were refused with a group of 8 people (including 1 child)! While there was still room and there was no reserved sign. Pushing 2 tables (that were free & next to each other) against each other was apparently too much to ask.

Nicely decorated restaurant,bar.But it's not really for me ,to expensive and the quality of the crispy chicken hamburger was ridiculously small piece of chicken with a lot of onions.... I specifically asked without onions! Then the creamy scampi spaghetti, undercooked harder then aldente. The pommes fries was okey. And that was it.

Had a cup of goulash soup on the terrace. Took more than half an hour for the order to arrive.

The family at AtlasAdventured recommends dining here! Awesome location right along the water. We were there for a late lunch/early dinner and were seated right away. Menu and drinks came promptly, but had to wait a while for our server to return for our food order. The service was slow, especially since we were 1 of 3 tables eating. Our waiter wasn’t quite rude, but curt. The food was delicious! We had the bruschetta and the nachos. Everything was perfectly seasoned and beautifully presented. The interior is beautiful and modern. Very clean. If we are ever in the area again, we would stop by for a quick drink and bite!

In a Maastricht really full of tourists we took refuge in this place located on the banks of the river. The inviting menu, however, is only written in Dutch so it is a little difficult to understand. Waiters really under stress given the amount of work. We ordered a chicken burger, unfortunately there was little chicken left because it was overcooked to the point of being edible. The rest of the food we ordered was good but we were very hungry..... fair bill. I believe that with a little less stress the place could be worth an extra star.

Great offer and great service. The food tastes good. Everything is good, that's why 5 stars

We regularly drop by to eat or have a drink.

Go somewhere else, people who work here are rude

Nice food, nice view, good service

Very small portions, not worth the money! I had a disappointing dinner. NOT recommended for parties especially!

Were there today. Haven't eaten anything. Service was very nice and quick. Drinks great. The river right next to it. Super.

The food is really recommended. The burger was great. The noodles were also delicious. The service was okay. But it felt like I had to wait a long time even though there was hardly anything going on. The location is not bad, depending on where you sit you have a nice view of the Meuse. You definitely can't go wrong here.

Unfortunately it wasn't good 👎. Steak was very tough and not edible. No response to complaints. It's a shame for the beautiful location.

Had to wait very long, 2 out of 5 of us received food quite quickly, we literally an hour later

Terrible service. The first drink was served really quickly, when I wanted to order a second drink I was ignored.

There is Ivo Ñacson right now September 4 at 9:02 p.m.

Delicious food next to the Maas. A nice end to a wonderful day in the South.

Very nice restaurant. We enjoyed it there. The interior decoration is magnificent. On our next visit to Maastricht we will come back!

Food was fine. However, it took a long time before anyone came to us. When we finished our drinks and wanted to eat something, we had to wait a very long time for it. We then asked someone for the bill who would pass it on to a colleague. Waited 20 minutes and then decided to walk to the entrance to ask again. Then the same colleague said that his other colleague was coming. Took a while again. Indicated that we had to wait a very long time but this was ignored.

We planned to have a nice bite to eat here, but the service was so bad that we left after half an hour (without any service after serving the drinks).

Very pretty setting, good value for money

The food was fantastic, however we arrived and it was obviously extremely busy and we waited and when asked we did say we hadn't booked. The waitress looked at a table with one customer on it and sort of nodded, acknowledging her. Turned to us and said a few minutes. We watched while she cleared the table of the above customer while she was still finishing her drink. To be honest, it felt really uncomfortable watching this. She left, and they gave the table a quick clean dragged up another chair and plonked us there. We eventually had to ask someone to take our order. Like I said, the food was great, the service not so much. Maybe they need to learn when it is best to turn customers away.

Great meal and drinks in a great setting by the River

The food was delicious, but the frying fat needs to be changed occasionally.

Very good restaurant located directly on the Meuse, good food and service

After waiting 15 minutes we asked a waiter if they wanted to take our order (drinks only) and when he asked his colleague he said that they would first serve people with a reservation. People past us had been there for less than 5 minutes and were already being helped. Then we got up because we didn't feel welcome at all.

We arrived here spontaneously to have a drink with 4 people, but after waiting 15 minutes and asking once, we still couldn't order. Because people who have made a reservation are helped first, even if they are not there first. Not logical at all if you ask me, that way you can keep busy. Then we left and somewhere else where it was twice as busy we were helped within a minute.

We had to wait a long time before we were served. We asked the waiter to serve us, but the other waiter did not allow us to do so because the reservations had to be served first, while we were already seated long before the reservations. We are now in a different place that is 10 times as busy and we were helped within 2 minutes.

AVOID. Horrible service. Waitress actively ignored us because we are American. Even asked to be served and still ignored.

Just had a nice drink, which was fine

The food is delicious, prepared with great care, very tasty !!

Food was already cold when you got it.

Very friendly staff, tasty food Located on the Maas, top location!.

Nice place, but not great in terms of service. Friendly, yes. However, you have to have a lot of patience. After the first drink we paid.
