Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

An excellent meal and excellent service in a really good location. The menu is varied and every dish we have had on our four visits has been a delight. Not cheap but well worth the money and one of the best restaurants we have found...in Maastricht.More

I enjoyed dinner at Restaurant Pakhoes. The meal and service were excellent. The restaurant is cozy and has a great river view. I loved the curry-sauced cod and hazelnut parfait. I definitely recommend this establishment for Maastricht excellent dining.

Busy place and good surprise. The menu og 4 dishes are good portions and well plated. Despite the etages it is a cosy atmosphere. Dessert the parfait caramel for all the sweet tooth people really good. Good coffee. Just wish they had more options of...mocktails or mocktail pairing option for the people who doesnt drink alcohol. Friendly staff. Book in advance.More

We had a lovely meal here, which was incredibly filling, and really enjoyed the friendly staff and their knowledge of wine. It rained, and we were swiftly relocating indoors, along with lots of other diners, without a hitch. It's a really lovely restaurant.

A very surprising but well rounded diner. We (a couple) let ourselves be surprised by their 4 course deal. It was above our expectations and the service topped it off perfectly. 10/10 would recommend.

We just had 2 nights in Maastricht and booked blind from a Google search. How lucky we were to find this restaurant. The food was incredible and service excellent and friendly. We sat outside just off the River front on a lovely evening but inside...would have been good too if the weather hadn’t been so good. We would recommend and will certainly return if we come back to the city.More

If you're in doubt if this is what you're looking for, the best place to kill your doubts in on their website: it's familiar yet refined, personal and simple. As soon as you enter, you are greeted by Chef Guidy, a familiar face if you've...visited the Pakhoes' website. Very soon, we were greeted by Yvonne who guided us to our table. And that is what you'll find here: familiarity or as better put in Dutch, a gezellig place. You are given plenty of time to speak with the person(s) accompanying you, it's not a place that offers a 'show'. At the same time, you are offered Michelin quality dishes at a relatable price with timely service from Yvonne, Stefanie and Yves (the hosts). All in all, it is a place I would go on a business meeting, minor celebration or special occasion (as it was mine celebrating 2 years with my girlfriend) while visiting the beautiful city of Maastricht. Thank you and who knows, maybe we will see each other soon again (:More

We were lucky enough to have dinner on the terrace on a beautiful evening. Everything matsched this: the food was excellent, good wines, excellent and personable service. We had the 4-course set menu which was excellent. I had the accompanying wines, which were well-chosen and...plentiful. This family-owned and operated business gives an all-round experience that many so-called professionals can learn from.More

We had ridden past this restaurant many times thinking that the outside seating area looked like any other cafe in downtown Maastricht offering the typical Dutch fare. However, we decided to do some internet searches which showed that perhaps we were too quick to judge....We had dinner on a Saturday night and wow what a delight! The building inside is an old warehouse and we had very comfortable seating and the background music was well selected to create a relaxing environment in which to dine. We selected the four course menu so that we could "hoover" through the Chefs choice of the night. The seasonings were perfect and the flavours in each dish were simply amazing. The highlight was the Lamb Cutlets and we were surprised to see it on the menu in the Netherlands because in our opinion lamb is not a common dish and if you do see it on a menu it is likely to be older mutton which has a very distinctive smell and can tend to be a little grey in colour and very "fatty". In addition to our food journey, we discovered that Pakhoes is a family run restaurant with all four members of the family working either chefing or on the floor and they added to our great overall experience. The wine list was adequate but not overwhelming and you could obtain any mixed drink of your choice. As they say "do yourself a favour" and make sure you don't miss out on this exceptional food experience.More

Pakhoes is a hidden gem in Maastricht. The experience starts with an outstanding service followed by a superb winelist and complemented with a very very delicious dinner. Kudos to Guidy, Yvonne, Stefanie and Yves. Highly recommended. PS Corona protection measures are very good observed and...in a discrete way such that the dinning experience can be enjoyed to the max. Lookinf forward to returnMore

For Valentines night we went out for dinner in Pakhoes. What a discovery it was. The food was outstanding but what made for me the night was their expertise in wine and how wine can lift a dice to the next level. My compliments to...the chef and service staff. Will be definitely going there again.More

The moment you walk in you are welcomed and treated in a very friendly but always professional way. Service was really extremely good, eye for details. Wine selection was outstanding and the knowledge by the service team about the wine was very impressive. We had...the 5 course meal but made some changes to it, this was not a problem at all. Food was really tasty and well presented. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone that hasn't been there yet. The price is more that justified when looking at the quality they are delivering. We will definitely be back but bring our friends next time. Thank you to the whole team for making this evening such a nice experience.More
