Downtown the Jekerkwartier - where the French joie de vivre comes to life in our Dutch country - lies restaurant Wy. Between the centuries-old city walls in the sensational Jekerkwartier, owners Ylja and Wouter managed to get their hands on a gem of a building. Hot off the press, with an opening date at the end of 2024, but already something to write home about. With a wealth of experience (we subtly mention the star restaurants they have worked in here because they don't brag about it) they have created their own fine dining restaurant with wine bar. After three months of intensive renovation, thinking about the menu and trying out a lot, Wy was born.

What was served to us? Amuses on a 'stone' from the Jekerkwartier, sourdough bread from bakery Koos in Valkenburg (of course with Wouter's own recipe), steak tartare with oyster (finger-licking good) and brioche combined with mushroom, Madeira and black truffle. The flavours are delicious and a special shout out to the accompanying sauces. Of course, all that culinary excellence goes together with good glasses of wine and do you want tasting glasses just like us? Even better, you can taste more. Ha. So be smart. Michelin pays attention because a new kid in town has presented itself. Nowhere can you dine better than in Maastricht and Wy proves that.

In short: are you in Maastricht and are you wondering where to go for a good glass of wine or dinner? At Wy you are always in the right place. Book in time: despite the restaurant's short opening hours, it is climbing the popularity ladder. A good sign.
