This place was recommended and worth it! The service was wonderful and the food was delicious.

The mixed grill was definitely enough food for two people. They managed to catch the missing whiskeysaus before sending me on my way with my takeaway, but while most of the meats didn't need it, it was a tasty semi-sweet addition to the meal. The ribs and lamb chop were our favorite meats, and the beef tenderloin was cooked nicely. The chicken breast was noticeably dry under the nice char marks, even when doused in sauce. While the sack of fries was portioned generously, I don't recommend getting them-- more starch than crisp, and they don't travel/keep well. read more

I have been to Taveerne de Resident a few times now and figured it was time to put on a review. This was a midweek meal for us and the place was still pretty busy but that is to be expected. I would always recommend reservations here to make sure you aren't disappointed. Especially if there are more than two of you. We started off at the bar and had a beer while we waited for our dining companions and I have to say they have a great selection of draft beer and spirits.. too early for the whiskeys yet though. When we had to go to the table we were, to our surprise, asked if we would like to sit in the back room. Didn't even know there was one. All that's at the back is the kitchen, right? Wrong. We were expertly navigate through the kitchen, yes I said through the kitchen. I don't have an issue with this. It means they have nothing to hide about their kitchen, not that I thought they would. Anyway, the back room was equally as gezellig and we sat down for our meal. My wife started with escargot and had ribs. I had tomato soup and mixed grill. It was fantastic. Despite my stomach telling me to stop, I couldn't, I had to eat it all. No room for dessert though so just a couple of Irish coffees. The service throughout was excellent and then check was what you would expect for the quality of food. But what about that whiskey selection? Oh yes, we decided to come back later in the week for a late night drink and had a couple of the whiskeys. It's not only a great restaurant but a great bar to sit at as well. read more

See all

Went in alone and ordered the spare ribs. I think there was enough for two... They were delicious, as well as the chips. The salad was not that exciting. Service was very friendly. read more

De Resident - Spare ribs - Steakhouses Near Me - Den Haag, ZH

Amazing meat plate! Really outstanding service and food. Strongest recommendation. I found this place on Yelp. Was a bit sceptic about the food as the restaurant looks more like a pub from the outside. I ordered the mixed grill plate. It was amazing - both in quantity and quality. Very friendly and good service. read more

De Resident - Mixed grill and garlic bread. - Steakhouses Near Me - Den Haag, ZH

Yes! So, this is and has been for decades the place in The Hague where people go for spareribs. If you're a US citizen, this is nothing like you're used to! The marinade is awesome and sweet based. It's a famous recipe and well loved, so be sure to try it! This place has a very casual ambiance, always busy, so be sure to check if they have a table for you. They have plenty of other dishes, yet my advice would be take the spare ribs. Although their burgers look very nice, I've never tried them. Have tried the chicken, same marinade which is also good. Try the spareribs! If In the neighborhood and looking for a casual nice place, this is a good one to try! You can also order out (Deliveroo) and do take out! read more

The Taveerne is awesome. The ribs are awesome, combined with frites and a biertje or two. Definitely worth a try if your in Den Haag for a visit. read more

Everything said about the spareribs is true and more - best I've had anywhere. The sauce is really tangy and light and they don't skimp on the full size portion. I was trying to stick with the fork and knife to be polite, but there is just no way you want to leave any meat on those bones. Lots of locals which is always a good sign and the menus are only in Dutch, but you can figure it out easily. Ate at the bar since I was by myself and I was very well treated - very nice staff. Well worth the trip. read more

Just go here for one thing, the spareribs. Definitely the best in town. The atmosphere is nice, lots of wood, and excellent meat. They have two main rooms on the ground floor, connected by the kitchen, each opening in a different street, right in the middle of town. read more

I live in Texas and I know meat. However, I keep coming back here because the service, the food, and the gezelligness are consistently delicious. I have confidence bringing VIPs here from out of town because I know they will have a GREAT experience. I recommend the spare ribs, mixed grill, stok brood (any kind), Irish coffee as personal favorites. One note: just make sure to reserve a table - it's a popular place and the Dutch don't do walk-ins the same way Americans do. read more

Nice little place. Busy. Very good ribs. Not smoked, but cooked nicely with a tasty teriyaki-like glaze.

Best place for ribs in town. It's not Houston or Kansas City quality, but they are great for the Netherlands.

The best spareribs in town! For dessert you must order a 'Soes de Resident' which is whipped cream, ice and chocolate. It's a fun restaurant where people of all ages come to enjoy a relaxed night out. read more

Ribs are the house specialty, and quite delicious. Service, however, was a bit spotty. Forgot our order of garlic bread, though they did later notice and apologize; and I had to ask twice for mayonnaise for my fries. For the food four stars, but with the service snafus I have to drop the overall to three. In a city like den Haag, you can do much better overall. read more

Yes, the ribs are amazing ...and this from a Houston guy. But don't ignore the liver. Also wonderful. I've been coming here since 2003 and always pleased with great food and service. Brought my bride this time and she loved it too. Escargot, combo ribs/liver, baked potato, followed by my fav dessert - dame Blanche. The perfect end to a holiday in NL. read more
