Team

Guidy Wolfs
Chef

Started at age 16 at Chateaux Neercanne, he then went to Belgian-Limburg to learn and have a flourishing career under chefs like  Roger Souveryns (Scholteshof) and Rik Vandersanden (De Barrier). He then started his own restaurant in Maastricht, where still cooks today with a lot of passion, taking inspiration from younger chefs.

Yvonne Wolfs
Hostess

Together with Guidy she had a dream of owning her own restaurant in Maastricht. Before starting Pakhoes, Yvonne was the face of the front desk at Hotel Maastricht (now Crowne Plaza). She has mastered the details of being a hostess through the years and still remains as passionate as ever before when it comes to taking care of her guests.

Yves Wolfs
Host

Son of the house. After studying gastronomy, he started to work at our restaurant. Temporarily at first, but after a short while he turned out to be an indispensable member of our staff. He is a natural host and oozes quality service. Thanks to his passion for wine and food, you can leave combining these two up to him, without a shred of doubt whatsoever.

Florian Wintraecken
Sous-Chef

Before Florian bolstered our ranks, he earned his stripes at numerous restaurants in Maastricht, such as Chateaux Neercanne and Beaumont. Florian has mastered Guidy’s kitchen through the years and adds a modern touch to our dishes – without changing the integrity of the Pakhoes' flavors and feel.

Stefanie Wolfs
Hostess

Daughter of the house. After finishing hotel management school she worked at Pakhoes for a short while – before she decided to spread her wings and take a look at some other establishments in town - among them Brasserie Flo and Harry’s in Maastricht.  Together with Yves, she’ll be the future of the restaurant her parents started over 30 years ago.

Inspired by history

The building is a national monument that was built around the year 1700. It was meant for trading and storing goods in the city. These goods were supplied through a small inland port at the Water Gate.

Around 1719, the building was possessed by a man named Arnoldus Rouffaer, who inherited it through his father in law as part of a gin distillery. He used the building as a grain storage. The gin distillery flourished under his son Johannes and his grandson Arnoldus. They used the “Pakhoes” as their office around 1780.

The Rouffaer family left the building in 1794 and moved to Amsterdam, because of the occupation of Maastricht by the French. The building was still used as storage up to the mid nineteen-hundreds for ships that loaded and unloaded at the Water Gate.

't Pakhoes nowadays

Our restaurant is located in a renovated old warehouse, situated in one of the most picturesque parts of the city district Wyck – near the historical Water Gate. The building was thoroughly rebuilt back in 1989 to a few residential apartments and the current Restaurant Pakhoes. The name and the interior were chosen as a homage to the history of the building.

Nowadays, the interior is still industrial, yet stylish and intimate as well. Every level of the restaurant has its own unique atmosphere. During the summer months our guests can also enjoy our nice terrace with a view over the river Meuse – where food and drinks can be enjoyed in peace.
