De Starre is een klein gezellig en budgetvriendelijk, de goedkoopste op de markt en toch is het eten daar erg goed, heel gezellig ingerichte huiselijke eetcafé waar men altijd terecht kan voor een kop koffie of thee. Ook de uitbater is een heel sociale gezellige man. Heeft binnen een aparte rookruimte zodat rokers niet naar buiten hoeven te gaan in de winter. Dus sta je op de markt in Maaseik, kijk dan eens helemaal in de hoek verscholen.tussen hotel Van Eyck en de Pannenkoekenhuis. Een echte aanrader dus.

Zondag; helemaal in een hoekje op de markt van Maaseik vonden we dit prachtige pand. In een gemoedelijke sfeer kom je gelijk terecht in de tijd van toen. Een vriendelijke uitbater, fijne muziek en glazen die brandschoon zijn! We hebben lekker gegeten, prijs/kwaliteit is top Wij gaan zeker nog terug!

Was Ambiente betrifft, ist es das schönste Café in Maaseik. Wir haben hier schon öfters Kaffee getrunken und im Winter ist der Glühwein spitze. Demnächst werden wir hier such essen und die Rezension anpassen. Bis jetzt sind die 5 Sterne mehr als verdient!
