We had a nice dinner at Spijs last night after seeing it recommended on TripAdvisor. We found it…read moreto 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-entree) 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 creme 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.
