Description: In Maastricht we had dinner in the pub / restaurant called De Bobbel Café. Apparently a very known restaurant. It’s located at Wolfstraat number 32 in Maastricht, in an old monumental building, lies this eatery. Left and right in the area (it is near the famous Notre Dame Square in Maastricht) are also several cafes and restaurants. And yet, if you would ask the Maastricht Back then everyone would know where this cafe is located. It is a very famous place.
Location
It is in a busy shopping street. You can park your car at Our Lady's Square in the parking garage along the Maas (2 euro per hour). If you walk into Wolfstraat, it is quite inconspicuous. Between historic buildings, this pub, probably once been a house. In the middle of the property is a cove with a door. Left and right of the door are two bay windows.
Through the glass window you'll see links to the nostalgia of old beer. With Brand and Wyck beer. In the right window you see old barley wine decanters and wine bottles Alsace. A large glass jar with cork as decoration. You go through an antique door.
The inside
You come in the café and from the doorstep you can see the big fireplace. You will then be in a large square room. Wooden planks on the floor with fine white sand over it. The buffet and the walls are dark wood. Right behind are the men and women restrooms. I speak in the plural. Because in a hallway are two ladies toilets. It is well cleared. In the restaurant are several different tables and there is a large bar at the right. The color combination is dark brown and black. The ceiling is dark brown / red. Wooden tables and chairs. The typical nostalgic atmosphere of a brown café. The music is played from the 60/70 year. Basically something for everyone.
The food
The main thing is the pub. Opening hours are from 11.00 am to 21.00 pm and Thursday to Saturday from 11.00 am to 0.00 am. The menu features many dishes. The card is not very extensive. 4 different soups. Fish soup for 4.50 euros and onion soup, goulash soup for 3.80 euros. The prices are reasonable. Several types of salads and appetizers With drinks, a range of appetizers cheese sausage. A roll of head cheese, sour natural meat, but also a cheese board with local cheeses (regional cheese) to 7.50. And of course the various baguettes.
The dish we had was a cup of onion soup with a baguette for 3.80. It tasted really good and the bread was nice and warm. Also the coffee was right on.
What I noticed was that the audience was predominantly older. Middle-aged people. Many people know each other when they enter the cafe.
Staff
The waiter was a very friendly young man. He clearly knows the ropes and cares for its guests.
Disabled
The cafe is easily accessible for wheelchairs and strollers. There are no steps.
Conclusion
It is a busy pub with a good menu and a good value for money. Theirs is a good atmosphere and it’s perfect for a quick bite. It’s one to remember when I’m back.
