Baron Frits

Who is this a real getaway for?

This is one of those places where you like to settle down as a couple for a long lunch or an evening meal. But also with friends for drinks on the terrace, this is the place to be. Do you like the view, atmosphere and good food? Then you just want to have been here once.

When will you visit?

On a sunny day, you don't really want to sit anywhere else but here on the Meuse. But even on a chilly day, it is nice to enter the cosy rooms of the restaurant. A lunch after a walk, a dinner at sunset... this is one of those places that continues to attract all year round.

What to expect.

Here, you will drop in at a place where everything is about enjoyment in Limburg style. From a cup of coffee with flan to a sumptuous dinner or drinks with cocktails on the terrace. The panoramic terrace and restaurant give you all-day views of the river Meuse. Did you know that many dishes here are prepared on the Big Green Egg, which ensures that distinctive full flavour.

Practically speaking, this is a wonderfully relaxing address. Count on 1.5 to 3 hours of fine dining or drinks. You're here in the castle village of Kessel, with the Meuse River literally in front of you and Castle De Keverberg around the corner. Parking is available nearby and a walk along the Maas boulevard immediately completes your visit. Dogs are welcome inside during the day, and on the terrace during dinner too.

When are you welcome?

You are welcome here 7 days a week from 11am. The kitchen opens around midday and for dinner you can join us until around 8pm. In between, just stay for drinks or an extra round.

Our tip for your visit

Try to be here just before sunset and grab a table on the terrace. That moment when the light falls across the Meuse... that's exactly why you're here.

The icon nearby

Combine your visit with Castle De Keverberg. You walk right to it and that combination is gold: first look around the castle, then plop down at Baron Frits overlooking the same Meuse. That makes your day complete. Also nice nearby: a walk along the Maasboulevard or a tour of the historic centre of Kessel.
