De Eetkamer Van Scheveningen

I am simply amazed this place does not have a Michelin star, preferably two. The food really is that good, what a great find; affordable French style food, very friendly/​helpful staff and a simple unpretentious restaurant décor all at a very reasonable price.
My wife and I had the chef surprise 4 course menu with wine pairing, and what a treat it was. From a very simple cheese and salad amuse bouche, smoked sea bass and mixed fish starter, an incredible house smoked duck breast (with home made fig and nut chutney) and a very interesting rabbit ragu and finally a desert collection; everything was perfect! Wine pairings were also very interesting, all obscure European sourced wines that matched the food perfectly. Including, something I had never heard of before, a pinot grigio from Luxembourg.
If you like good, French style, food I strongly suggest you try De Eetkamer. Heck, the next time you are in the Netherlands and you like good food, this place is worth a visit.
You may have noticed all my reviews to date on Unilocal have been 5 star, this is deliberate. Life is too short to focus on that which does not make us happy. This is why I restrict my reviews to those things/​places that make me happy and appreciate life. Sure, I have been to some really dreadful hotels and restaurants, but, like I said, life is too short to spend time thinking and writing about them.

We’ve been here now a couple of times and the food is really good; we keep coming back and we have been to quite some restaurants. French cuisine with nice surprises. Really a place to remember and you get really good quality for the price. It’s 200 meters away from the main road through Scheveningen: away from the big crowds. Employees are very friendly too.
