Bistro Chez Jacques was an upscale dining establishment located in Maastricht, Netherlands, recognized with a single Michelin star between 1976 and 1979.

The restaurant was owned and led in the kitchen by Jacques Zeguers.

In January 1973, Zeguers accepted the offer of a brown bear for use in his menu and proceeded to serve it. This action sparked backlash from Pistolen Paultje (Paul Wilking), a self-proclaimed animal advocate and arms dealer, who issued warnings to the restaurant against serving a second bear.
