You can always tell a Dutchman but you can't tell him much…read more Or so I thought after a day of meetings at the Company HQ. But our team is a good hardworking group, and our dinner was set for Tapperij at 6:30 PM. This restaurant is located within the Archipelago Area, and at the corner of the Rue De Tapperij Aceh. Tapperij features classic French cuisine with the ambiance of one of the oldest pubs in The Hague (since 1886). The chef also emphasizes seasonal products, preferably on Dutch soil. Our group pretty much had the back room to ourselves. It was cozy, classy, and comfortable, and featured lots of knick knacks (including an old Shell service station pump). The front part of the restaurant also would have been perfect for a romantic dinner with Gayle. We enjoyed a delicious multi-course meal which included Bass, Pheasant, and a lot of good wine. We had a great time talking about mutual interests, our respective country-specific view points (including jokes), and even work issues. And that discussion carried on at the hotel bar after dessert. Maybe it was the Team bonding and the recovery from jet lag, but the Day 2 meetings seemed to flow much better. I returned home with a big work list, but with a better perspective the next time I pick up the phone or send an email. And that most enjoyable meal at Tapperij helped make that all possible.

Lovely little place that's suposedly one of the oldest hospitality locations in the Hague. I had a…read moremore than goos business dinner here recently in the private dining area (in the back). Although the food was very good and orginal and the wine as well, I was a bit disappointed with the breadth of the choice for the three course menu. There were only two very specific dishes per course. The prices were also quite steep compared to the quality of the food (which was great, but not spectacular). Nevertheless, we did really enjoy the wines there (they have wonderfull Rioja from 2009 on the list) and both the dessert and the friandeses (basically a second dessert:-)), were very allealing. Also, the place has a lovely ambiance with a lot of vintage collectors items places into the interior.

I popped in for a coffee because I noticed they served the Catunambú brand, one from Spain that I like! The short story is I ended up staying for 3 hours having lunch and wine! It is a really nice spot, great decor and very comfy. A great setting to catch up on my reading and watch the Haagse people go about their business. For lunch I had the Bio burger without the bun (I don't like bread) which was not an issue and was delicious. Perfectly cooked and well garnished. The Belgian style fries were the best I have ever had and the truffle mayo a perfect match. I only saw the breakfast and brunch menu but there was a great selection and I will be back to try the English breakfast and one of the brunch wraps! The wine was recommended by the very attentive and professional waitress (did not catch her name unfortunately) and I could not fault it. Nothing fancy but really lovely Portuguese Pé Tinto which matched the food and was well balanced. As always, I appreciated the service with a smile and will be back here again very soon. Even more impressive when the place has only been open 2 weeks!

"Definitely not a goner"…read more.. Lately, I've become more & more charmed by everything French. It might just be an excuse to stop shaving and go all matted axilla jungle. Pardon my French ;p I'm actually quite surprised this cozy bistro doesn't have more people declaring their love for. The guys running this shop are proud of their Lyonnais heritage and rightfully so! La Gone deserves nothing but top ratings! Good French places that offer affordable lunch and take away meals are really hard to come by here in frog country. In fact, I haven't found such in A'dam yet. This place is French hospitality to the max! French and hospitality, who knew? First off, the owner started by asking What, no wine for lunch? My friend at first was a little deterred by the somewhat challenging menu (no concessions made here!) commenting: don't they have anything normal, like without intestines, liver, gizzards, or anything not fatty? What's wrong with you, you you spoiled Peruvian taste buds?! Haven't I taught you anything?! Fat is good, we love fat and we jad'ore even more foie gras!!! What I love about the French cuisine is that even something "safe", like the boeuf bourguignon, is utterly satisfying. Not quite as satisfying as my "salad" though. Think salad is just French for a heap full of buttery sinful foie gras topped by a mountain of gizzards. Never had those before, but I need more of that in my life now! And why not just throw in some extra smoked duck breast, slices of dried giant figs, walnuts & their secret homemade mustard based vinaigrette. I'm sure this salad turned my liver into a hump of adipose tissue. One thing is for sure. The French are definitely not shy of ingesting some fat. And that rilette, sweet mother of ... Perhaps €17-18,50 might seem a little exorbitant for lunch. But hey, if you want quality you have to fork over. Besides, the plate du jour comes with a side salad and the portions are really generous. Trust me, after this, your stomach won't be bothering you for a good couple of hours...Also, the takeaway meals are priced considerably more kind. If I could I would visit here every weekend for a indulgent lunch and take some sweets or a baguette home for a light dinner. You know citron gateau is French for dinner right... p.s the macarons are by far the best I've tasted so far!!!

Finally -- a Bib Gourmand that actually deserves it in Den Haag!…read more Basaal -- wow. Just wow. This place is, in my humble opinion, the only restaurant in The Hague that truly earns its Bib Gourmand nod from the Michelin Guide. After trying several other spots in town, this one finally hit the mark. The dining room was bright and inviting, with large windows letting in lots of natural light. The decor was simple but charming -- wooden furnishings, shelves filled with cookbooks and chef bios, giving it that cozy, "chef's home library" vibe. I also took it as a good sign that a big table of Japanese tourists were there, clearly enjoying themselves with plenty of wine -- because let's be honest, they usually do their food research well! Now onto the food -- which was spectacular. Here's what we had: Olives Grilled potato bread with olive oil Pommes darphin Beef tartare with Jerusalem artichoke Pork cheek with parsley root Trompette de la Mort Mussels with creamy miso & cider sauce And for dessert -- chocolate ganache with crunchy oats and salted honey caramel. Every single dish was thoughtfully prepared and beautifully balanced. The beef tartare? One of the best I've ever had. The crispy artichoke bits mixed in with the creamy mayo base underneath -- heavenly. The pommes darphin was perfectly crispy on the outside and just melt-in-your-mouth inside. Even the bread, which we had to order separately, was fantastic -- soft, flavorful, and paired with top-quality olive oil. The restaurant is impressively run by just three people -- two in the kitchen and one handling the entire front of house -- yet everything was smooth and efficient. You can tell they've got their rhythm down. The bill came to around $160 USD, and honestly? Worth every penny. Exceptional food, intimate atmosphere, and service that makes you feel well cared for. If you're in The Hague and want a meal that truly lives up to Michelin's reputation -- this is the one.
