About
Tucked away on Zoutmanstraat in The Hague, De Zoute Kater has swiftly evolved from a relaxed neighbourhood spot into a full-blown culinary destination, earning a 12/20 score from Gault&Millau along the way. The interior is warm and buzzing — a lively bar, small tables, and banquette seating that encourage the kind of easy conversation you don't want to end.
Chef Eva Wijma drives a boldly cosmopolitan kitchen, drawing on a wide range of culinary influences and combining them with a signature love of bright acidity and striking contrasts. Her cooking is adventurous yet always carefully balanced — the sort of food that surprises without ever losing its footing.
The service is young and energetic, the atmosphere refreshingly informal. A Google rating of 4.6 from 133 reviews reflects a loyal and growing following. Vegetarian options are available, and outdoor seating makes De Zoute Kater a particularly appealing choice on a fine Hague evening.
