About
Tucked along the elegant Noordeinde in The Hague, restaurant Elea reimagines Greek culinary heritage through a contemporary lens. Chef Takis Panagakis draws on Hellenic traditions and ingredients, shaping them into dishes that feel both familiar and genuinely surprising. At the front of house, gastvrouw Bibi Kuyp ensures every guest is welcomed with warmth and care.
The accolades reflect the kitchen's ambition: Elea holds a Michelin Selection, scores 14/20 with Gault&Millau, and earns four radishes from We're Smart — a strong signal of the thoughtful, vegetable-forward approach woven into the menu. A place in the 2026 Lekker Top 500 and a Google rating of 4.8 from 459 reviews round out an impressive portfolio of recognition.
The restaurant opens Thursday through Monday, with weekend lunch service on Saturday and Sunday. An outdoor terrace and dedicated vegetarian options make Elea a destination for a broad range of diners looking for a memorable evening — or afternoon — on one of The Hague's most storied streets.
Book your table at Elea and experience modern Greek cuisine at its finest in The Hague.
