You don’t have to go all the way to France if you are in need of a healthy dose of joie de vivre. In the heart of Maastricht you’ll find Le Fernand: a perfect combination of French bistro, café du vins and restaurant. Stop by for a delicious lunch, a friendly drink or an extensive dinner.
Qu’est-ce que
Le Fernand ?
Le Fernand is more French than France. Not our own words (okay, sometimes they are), but that’s what we hear from our guests. We míght have taken it a bit too far. From the broth and wine, to the oysters and syrups; if the label isn’t French, we don’t want it. Our patron, Fernand, was taken by French cuisine from an early age. The elegant and subtle dishes, the shareable portions, the base of butter, foie gras and garlic…. Qu’est-ce qui ne plaît pas?
Comment se
présente le menu ?
Our menu is pretty much fixed, but occasionally we change things ups by adding new variations, recurring favourites or old classics. Think cuisses de grenouilles, escargots, foie gras and paté maison. Our wine list is as it should be: extensive, diverse and very French. Join us on a French wine journey and discover every region the country has to offer. Our sommeliers will be happy to help you make the best choice – even for wines so special that they are not on the menu.
