About
Perched along the banks of the Maas with views over the city of Venlo, Valuas delivers a refined modern French dining experience that has earned widespread recognition. The setting alone — especially on the riverside terrace on sunny days — gives the restaurant a laid-back, almost holiday atmosphere that few places in the region can match.
The kitchen's ambition is well-documented: Gault&Millau awarded Valuas a score of 15.5/20, while Michelin has included it in its official selection. A place in the Lekker Top 500 for 2026 and a Google rating of 4.5 from 241 reviews confirm that the acclaim is consistent across critics and everyday diners alike.
On the drinks side, sommeliers Eric Swaghoven and Michiel Janssen bring considerable expertise to the table, guiding guests through a wine offering that complements the French-inspired menu. Whether you opt for à la carte or a multi-course surprise menu, an evening at Valuas is anchored in both culinary craft and genuine hospitality.
