Den Haag


All-day breakfasts (including a €5 coffee, juice and croissant deal) are on offer at this self-styled cafe-bistro, alongside lunch choices including soup, burgers and salads. Dinner is a mainly meaty affair – the steak served with smoked-garlic gravy and potatoes pan-fried in duck fat is renowned.
