Scallywags - the Lunchroom : Scallywags in Den Haag started out as this tea room with fresh cakes and pies and sandwiches. Best place in town to have a late brunch or sumptuous breakfast! Petra bought me brunch here on a late Saturday morning/early afternoon. (L) Absolutely recommended, early, late or whenever. Cakes are to die for and the place is very cozy and friendly! And if stay too ong, simply head over to Scallywags, the restaurant for dinner!

De kleine ondeugd : De kleine ondeugd is one of my favorite restaurants in Rotterdam. It's a small Thai kitchen, one menu for a fixed (cheap) price of 13 euro. You have a choice of soup and/or fried rice in addition to the menu, but that's all. It's always crowded and the food is excellent! Kleine ondeugd is located near the Oostplein and the Oost Zeedijk...

Buddah : Petra invited me to dinner in Leiden. We were looking for a trendy place, and while not finding what she was looking for, we found the brand new Thai restaurant Buddah instead. On Sundays, they don't have a menu but a Thai fondue instead. Excellent bouillion, great meats and very very cozy place too. Recommended!

Rue d'Amsterdam : Went to see EdV again after many many years. We had dinner together in a great little Marocan restaurant in Utrecht called Rue d'Amsterdam, named after Napoleon's idea to build a road there. Food was delicious and prices were great. It's not in the center but close by Central Station and worth a visit!

ZANDhap Indestad - Scallywags : After an awesome first year, ZANDhap had their final dinner party in the greatest restaurant of Den Haag: Scallywags! Yeah! Richard hosted a fantastic ZANDhap final and outdid himself. Great set of 8 (!) snacks, each more like appetizers. Of course, rosé to go around too. And after having packed and moved my whole house, it was a dinner well deserved for all of us.

Pannonica : Besides being a Jazz and Blues café in Den Haag, Pannonica also has a great kitchen and wonderful dining area. The place is built so you can here performance from anywhere, so there's no need to miss out on good performances just coz you are hungry. Food is good but choice is kind of limited. However, it's fresh and prepared where you can see it. Recommended!
