About
Tucked away on the Atjehstraat in The Hague, De Tapperij has been welcoming guests since 1886, making it one of the oldest hospitality venues in the city. The interior carries the weight of that history in the best possible way: characterful and almost museum-like, yet relaxed and genuinely convivial.
Chef Raoul Waardenburg brings a clear and personal touch to the kitchen, crafting dishes that balance depth with brightness and marry classical technique with contemporary sensibility. That approach has earned the restaurant a Gault&Millau score of 12.5/20, while a Google rating of 4.7 across 200 reviews confirms the warm reception from diners.
A well-attuned front-of-house team ensures every guest feels at home from the moment they walk in. When the weather permits, the outdoor terrace adds another dimension to the experience. Vegetarian options are available, reservations are accepted, and — given how regularly the tables fill up — booking ahead is strongly advised.
Book your table now and experience over a century of Hague hospitality at its finest.
