When I opened the massive leather bound wine list, I was amazed. You can get lovely glasses of sauvignon blanc or pilot noir for €4. The rest of the wines are between 5-7 by the glass, with sparkling white wine for €4 as well. Bargain! They have loads of bottles at both everyday and special occasion prices. Someone has put a lot of money into the decor here, it feels very decadent and luxurious. You can also get charcuterie plates. The staff are very warm and friendly, even to scruffy types like myself. A real find among the overpriced Den Haag bars.

I'm leaving down here my previous review. I have to update it as the place changed a bit. It's…read morestill a very nice place, but there's less nice tapas, they switched a bit more Italian and I'm not as big fan as before. So it's not anymore this nice little wine bar with tapas, it became a bit more restaurant type, even though one can still come for a nice glass of wine. ------- We've recently discovered the place and it's just great. It's a mix between a wine bar and a tapas place, dimmed lights, very cosy. "gezellig" as they say in Dutch. You get good service, quick to respond to anything, welcoming and friendly. The wines are good and you can get them for great prices. They don't try to pretend anything, it's just as you need it :-) The tapas are very good. Nothing to recommend particularly. I did not leave anything on the plates... One little downside is that it's advised to book to be sure to have a place if you come at the end of the week or during the weekend...

We ended our 2 week family holiday in Europe dining here and we were completely delighted. Our server was extremely professional and articulate and made our evening great. The wine list is quite extensive. We chose a 2005 French Burgundy. The wine sommelier did a masterful job opening and presenting the excellent wine. Our party of five each ordered their own dishes, and all of them were perfectly prepared and attractively presented. Delicious! A kitchen with real chefs at work. We ended with two desserts. They were very small and fancy in their appearance, but lacked a bit in satisfying our group. They were a bit tiny and polite. A bit larger and more lavish flavors would have been appreciated. Overall, this was our top restaurant experience over a two week vacation where we dined out nearly every night across France, Germany and the Netherlands! Only wish we had a similar quality establishment closer to home in the US.

The descriptions on the menu can be enigmatic but it's impossible to be disappointed with the chef's masterful creations at Basiliek. My friend and I came to enjoy a night out and celebrate our 38 years of friendship and toast to many more. The cocktails are refreshing and the dishes are phenomenal. We shared the very creative and surprising rock shrimp appetizer, and enjoyed the cooked to perfection eggplant entree and the fine spicy mackerel salad. The flavors of the dishes are unique and succulent. For dessert we had the date-chocolate cake with ice cream and a special limoncello smoothie! Our server, Irene fro Salamanca, Spain is incredible!

Don't feel like wine? Then try the beer that was brewed specifically for this bar: Spieghelsbier, which is a pleasantly different witbier. And of course De Twee Spieghels wouldn't be a Jazz bar without regular jam sessions and performances. They're definitely worth a visit, but the music sometimes has the tendency to drown out all possibility for conversation. Honestly though, that's only a minor flaw for this otherwise great bar; we're fans!
