The Hague Food Guide

Latest coffee bar addition and what a one! It has been years since I spent over an hour in a coffee place, reading a book, eating something and just chilling. For me the vibe of the place, the barista, it...

Sababa recently opened in Prinsestraat where Confetti used to be. They describe their food as "street food from the Middle East". Hence I was excited to try them out. It took three tries because the first two they were closed...

This little Lebanese manouche place is one of my regular go to places. My favourite is the baked falafel with veggies. Their fresh lemon juice is addictive and if you still have room, try their Halawa sweet manouche. Everything is...

I was very happy when I saw that Vincenzo's opened a location in the city centre. The best pizza in walking distance. A good thing and a bad thing. Bad because I have to have extra willpower to resist eating...

Momiji is the perfect place to sit at the bar stool looking outside on a rainy day and enjoy a bowl of ramen. At Momiji they make their own fresh noodles. It doesn't get more authentic than that. They also...

Out of lockdown Bartine Bakery was born. I remember the first lockdown when only the essential places were open and Bartine setup outside where you could buy fresh bread and pastry. It was such a success that they opened a...

Before Corona I never went to Bartine. It was forever on my list of places to go to, but for some reason I never did. During corona lockdown, they were/are open every weekend for pick up. For freshly baked pastries,...

Kaafi has been around for a couple of years. But with a couple of steady go to places, I just didn't get around to go there more than once or twice. Then came Corona and the balance was disturbed. The...

Finally! A good fried chicken place that is not KFC. As an Aruban, from an island where chicken wings are serious business, I have been disappointed by the quality of roasted and fried chicken here. Until recently the only places...

Netherlands Bagels is the place to be to get your New York style bagel fix. They make fresh bagels every day. There are also a varying of specials during the months and pastries. I usually drop by to buy bagels...

I recently dinned at Queru again after a long time. I went especially for the vegan/vegetarian special they were serving. Queru has been steadily delivering quality Mexican food during the lockdown and continues to have delivery. I have had the...

Day Dream is a very popular small sandwich shop you can find close to Prinsestraat and Hofkwartier. They sell meat sandwiches and burgers. Day Dream Deli is the only place you can get authentic meat sandwiches. They smoke their own...

Takumi has been around for a couple of years and still going strong. I still buy ramen from them every now and then. They have been consistent with their food quality. Definitely still a go-to place. Takumi took this lockdown...

Hidden in the alley in the middle of The Passage, this small sandwich 't Achterommetje, can be found. Ideal for lunch in between shopping or coffee/tea with a piece of cake. Try their famous meat sandwich or several choices of...

Perron X Coffee is one of my favourite coffee bars. They serve their own specialty roast and best of all they have a decaf roast. They are open 7 days a week, early morning till early evening and on holidays....

I finally caved to the poke bowl trend. I had tried a sushirrito before but wasn’t wowed by it. One day I didn’t want to cook, but didn’t want anything too unhealthy and still filling. I went to Ohana and...

This tiny Italian lunchroom can be found at Bankastraat. If it was closer by you'd find me here at least once a week. But considering I seldom venture out to Bankastraat plus the fact that Limoncello opening hours varies, it...

Vietstreet is my go to place for beef Pho. Every time I go there I order Pho. I haven't have Pho anywhere else so I can't compare how good this one is. But I like it. The broth is light,...

Zeeheldenkwartier has a new coffee bar since last year. Best of all a coffee place that sells their own roast of which they have a Swiss washed decaf. They are also the first in The Hague with a brew bar....

Mr. Bap is a small Korean lunchroom that is easy to miss. It’s run by a Korean family — like sitting in their living room while they cook a meal for you. I especially like their Kimchi pancake and the...

Finally, a fast food joint where I eat almost guilty free. Five Guys also has a basic menu, which still leaves people wondering what they are going to eat. It’s pretty simple. Hamburger, cheeseburger, bacon burger, hotdog or grilled cheese...

Opinions vary on which is the best restaurant in Chinatown. For me, it is Woeng Kee. Woeng Kee has a couple of dishes that are my go to, like honey and walnuts chicken or fried ravioli beef dim sum. They...

At Filtro you can get excellent coffee. A selection of loose leaf tea, vegan cakes and sandwiches. Filtro was one of the first speciality coffee bars in the Hague. Since then a couple more have opened. Hummus Sandwich Filtro used...

Photo by Wings & Flats If there is one thing missing in The Hague, it's good chicken wings. Thank goodness for Wings & Flats. They deep fry their wings, which is the "secret sauce" to tasty wings. Dutch cuisine put...
