Welcome to the fifth episode of Chefs & Cellars, the culinary podcast by Dutch Wine Apprentice. 

In this episode, we visit Restaurant Onglet in Maastricht, where we sit down with restaurant owner and operator Levy Smit.

Housed in a century-old former butcher shop, this restaurant not only pays homage to its location's rich history but also redefines the dining experience with its focus on exceptionalmeat dishes and outstanding wine program.

Over the years, Levy Smit worked at some of Maastricht’s finest establishments, including the Michelin-starred Restaurant Tout-à-Fait and the iconic Hotel Beaumont, where his love for wine blossomed. This passion led him to eventually create Restaurant Onglet, combining his expertise in hospitality with his entrepreneurial drive.

Join us as we sit down with levy, to discuss his personal career and Onglet’s philosophy when it comes to food and wine.
