Food is the ingredients that bind many people together, hence Valentine day is often associated with wine, dine and the extra gift.
If you are new to Weert and wondering where to go for Valentine day dinner. Here are some of my personal recommendations:
Located in the city centre, this place is probably our personal favourite in the city, casual setting with an industrial look. It is run by the same operators and kitchen as their next-door more fine dining set up, Flavours. You can also order some dishes from Flavours menu next door, I love the seasonal dessert surprise! Great service, good food, small and intimate.

Just next door to Bistro du Suds, same owner and entrance. Cozy, intimate and comfortable with a large wine selection. They received a Michelin bib gourmand in 2019, their price range is certainly worth the dining experience and food quality. Our second most favourite dining place in the city.

Tucked away behind Weert's city hall (Gemeente Hall), Restaurant Marees is highly recommended by a lot of local who loves their food. Recently they sweep a Michelin star. Their 5-course surprise valentine menu goes for €80 per person.

Now that I have listed down some places for you to try this Valentine, some of you go 'oh no, how about the kids?'. Well, we are fortunate enough that my husband's parents live around the corner. But the best tip I could give is to get friendly with the teenage neighbour as soon as possible. If you feel that they are great, well you have a prospect for a handy babysitter. Alternatively, try on this website called Sitly, which recommends baby sitter services around the area.
