Why go
By Taste works when you want an easy Eys-area meal rather than a high-ceremony destination booking. Lunch is the cleaner first-timer move, especially if the restaurant is part of a wider South Limburg day; for a more defined creative or French-leaning splurge, cross-shop De Leuf, Infini, Restaurant Atelier.
About By Taste
By Taste is a restaurant in Eys with opening windows from Wednesday through Sunday. The clearest planning facts are practical ones: it is closed on Monday and Tuesday, open from 12–4 PM and 5:30–10 PM Wednesday through Sunday, the dress code is smart casual.
For a first-timer, the safest recommendation is to treat By Taste as an Eys restaurant to plan around timing and location rather than around claims about cuisine, format, price, or awards. If the surrounding day matters as much as the table, the hours make it possible to consider either the 12–4 PM window or the 5:30–10 PM window.
Midday or evening: choose by schedule
The midday window is a practical option because it gives the meal a defined role in the day. By Taste is open Wednesday through Sunday from 12–4 PM, which can make it easier to fit into an Eys itinerary without turning the whole schedule around it. The evening window is also available Wednesday through Sunday from 5:30–10 PM.
There is not enough detail on the cuisine, menu format, price, or accolades to frame By Taste as a specific kind of destination meal. The smart move is to choose the time when the location and schedule suit the day. For a more explicitly defined comparison, consider By Taste alongside Infini, Restaurant Atelier, or De Leuf before committing.
Who should book, who should cross-shop
Book By Taste if the priority is a restaurant in Eys with Wednesday-through-Sunday opening windows. That is not a reason to avoid it; it is a reason to be clear about the job it should do.
For a special occasion, the recommendation is cautious. Choose it when Eys is the right location and the schedule works for your plans. If the occasion calls for comparing other regional restaurants, De Leuf, Restaurant Atelier, Infini, Frunk, Julemont - Kasteel Wittem are natural names to check as part of the wider decision.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
By Taste occupies a deliberately remote patch of South Limburg, where hedgerow-lined lanes, orchards and loess-soiled valleys shape both the mood and the menu. The restaurant reads like a quietly curated country destination: unhurried, scenic and refined rather than flashy. Service and cooking align with the region’s fine-dining tradition, so the feeling is sophisticated and elegant without urban hustle. Guests arrive prepared — it is the kind of place you plan an evening around — and the overall effect is intimate, contemplative and framed by the pastoral landscape rather than city energy.
Best For
This is a destination dinner spot best suited to deliberate evenings: date nights, special-occasion meals and celebrations that justify the drive into the Limburg hills. The piece positions By Taste within a countryside fine-dining circuit, where proximity to growers and orchards informs the menu; that makes it especially appropriate for guests who treat the outing as part of a weekend escape or culinary pilgrimage. Expect to plan logistics in advance and to reserve time for a focused dinner experience that privileges seasonality and local produce.
Ordering Tips
Menus lean on South Limburg’s seasonal produce and seafood-forward preparations; signature dishes listed include Hamachi with jalapeño and kimchi, Langoustine, pan-seared cod with citrus and a risotto with mussels and anchovies. When you book, treat those signatures as useful guideposts: they reflect the kitchen’s priorities and the region’s access to fresh ingredients. Because the restaurant is presented as a planned destination rather than a casual stop, reservations and arranging travel from Amsterdam or Maastricht in advance are sensible. Beyond that, let the menu’s seasonal focus steer choices.
