I love food: cooking for friends and family is great, but going out for dinner or lunch is my favorite thing to do. Unfortunately, restaurants are closed, but I’m glad that take-away is at least an option. In this blog, I share my favorite restaurants in The Hague.
My favorite restaurants for special occasions (or just because it’s good)
A lot of friends and family, know about my love for food. I love sharing it with everyone. They also ask me often where to go for dinner or lunch when they go somewhere. In this blog, I share my favorite restaurants in The Hague. 5 years ago I moved here, but I already know the city for longer. As a kid we always went to The Hague for shopping and later on when I started dating my boyfriend I was here more and more (and decided to live here).
Dekxels
Via friends I discovered this gem of a restaurant with a cool Asian fusion vibe. My boyfriend got a gift card from Dekxels for his birthday and I was super excited that I could enjoy it with him.
We were surprised by the great menu with a good Asian vibe. They have Asian influences together mixed with Mediterranean cuisine. Their concept is really simple: you choose 3 dishes per person for a good full menu experience. Our favorites are Salmon sashimi, Tuna tartare, Beef tataki, Bao Buns with duck, Korean pork belly, and the chocolate cake with banana and caramel. They also serve their own hot sauce which is the best, if you ask nicely they might give you a little bottle to take home.
The service is very good and they can really advise you on what to order and what to drink with your food. Due to the pandemic, they offer take-away, but for now, I’m counting down till restaurants are open again.
Yuzu
In case you didn’t notice Asian food is my favorite, but luckily for me, you have many different flavors and dishes. Japanese fusion especially is a whole different cuisine to me. The flavors are more delicate and simple.
 At Yuzu, they serve great Japanese flavors with a twist in an urban Japanese vibe. When you are there it almost feels like you are in Tokyo, especially in the toilets where it feels like you are in a metro station. As at Dekxels, you also order here 3 dishes per person (or more). We went here for my birthday before Corona and went all out. We ordered all kinds of things: Edamame, Crispy Rice chips (not what you expect), Gyoza and Salmon Tartare accompanied with some Asahi beers. The vibe and the amazing food make it a great experience to visit. It almost felt like we were in Tokyo instead of The Hague.Â
Pazze e Pizza
Besides Asian food I’m also a big fan of Italian. Especially the pizza’s from Pazze e Pizza are out amazing. The vibe here is also really cozy. The concept is really simple: they serve all kinds of pizza’s which you can order at the bar. Drinks are served by super friendly people 🙂I hope you guys loved reading about my favorite restaurants in The Hague. Next time I will my favorite places for lunch and where you can get the best desserts. Stay tuned!
