Spijs

Absolutely outstanding. The chef went to great efforts to make sure our meal was perfect. Service was outstanding, too.

I would say this place is between 4 and 5 stars, but I gave it 5 because the service was so excellent. Here in Dutchland that’s sometimes hard to encounter. I went with a group of girlfriends for a friends birthday dinner. As I was walked up to the restaurant on the dark rainy evening I tripped and fell (like the big dope I am) over the tram track in the street. Luckily no one ran me over. When a limped into the restaurant, bleeding and pantyhose torn up, one of the employees was kind enough to bring out the first aid kit and patch me up with alcohol and bandages. Meanwhile the bartender mixed me up a drink (double of course). Embarrassing circumstance but I wanted to mention it because I thought it was very kind of them.
The dinner itself was fantastic. We have the set menu with wine paring. They were very patient with us since each on of us ordered a different variation of the menu. It was nice to have some flexibility. The food was fantastic and the wine pairing was even better. The server was very friendly and informative. A had a great time despite my little accident :) I will definitely return.

We had a nice dinner at Spijs last night after seeing it recommended on TripAdvisor. We found it to be a lovely choice if you decide to go to the Scheveningen Strand near The Hague.
They were offering a «Summerdeal» which was a prie fixe 3 course meal for 25 Euro, or a 4 course meal (with an extra pre-​entrée) for 29.50 Euros. A wine pairing was available for 5 euros a course.
The atmosphere of the place is nice. We arrived when it opened at 6pm and were the first ones there, but it was soon quite full with what seemed to be a mix of locals and beach goers. The servers, who seemed to share duties throughout the meal, were pleasant and helpful. We had a small toddler with us, and they provided a high chair and markers for her to color with.
Food-​wise, the highlights were a complimetary amuse bouche of miniature blini and smoked salmon, and the desserts, which included cheesecake with fruit-​infused crème fresh and chocolate mousse.
The entrees that we chose were monkfish and beef tenderloin. The monkfish came in a truffle sauce — the sauce was wonderful but the fish was a bit overcooked. The tenderloin was good, although the sauce it came in was quite salty.
If you peruse the TripAdvisor reviews, you’ll find a consensus that Spijs is a great deal for the money, and I have to agree. Our total for 4 people was 150 Euros for a full meal with lots of wine. We left happy.

The food was excellent I ate there with a group and started my meal with the Carpaccio de Cipriani, followed by Duck breast with stewed sayoy cabbage then Fillet of veal with Risotto and truffle sauce. Tartlet of chocolate with kletskop a syrop of Pedro Ximemez (I thought it translated to ketchup so I was happy about the Pedro) over all the experience was great we ate in the front area a semi-​private dining room. The dishes were presented very nicely and overall its the best food I’ve had in Netherlands to date. The reason for 4 instead of 5 stars was driven by the slow pace of service we had 20 people at the dinner and it took 4 hours to complete the meal. Way to long in my view.
