1. El Gusto

Restaurant, Seafood, Mediterranean, European

El Gusto’s is a Mediterranean restaurant specializing in Basque and Spanish cuisine. Though the interior design may be somewhat eclectic, there’s enough confidence to compensate when it comes to food. Delicious tapas, meat and fish dishes (sea bass, squid, octopus, etc.), and salads, are all prepared with fresh, high quality products, and accompanied by a fine choice of wines.

2. Da Sebastiano No.2

Restaurant, Italian

Da Sebastiano is spread across two venues in The Hague. Home to authentic and well-presented Italian food, the restaurant is ideal for both a quick bite and a glass of house wine or an extensive meal in the manner of traditional Italian trattoria. If choosing from the menu seems a bit overwhelming, there’s always the option to let the chef surprise you.

3. Keraton Damai

Restaurant, Indonesian

Housed in the former living room of a converted 19th century mansion, this restaurant serves Indonesian dishes prepared with traditional East Javanese methods. Wooden panels, decorated with oriental flourishes, give the place a classy and evocative atmosphere.

4. tones Kenyan Restaurant
