About
On the Dunne Bierkade in The Hague, restaurant Basaal proves that relaxed and refined are not mutually exclusive. The kitchen revolves around the seasons, sending out carefully considered dishes that are full of character without unnecessary complexity.
The accolades speak for themselves: a Michelin Bib Gourmand for outstanding quality at a moderate price, a Gault&Millau score of 12.5/20, a place in the 2026 Lekker 500, and a Google rating of 4.6 from over 640 reviews. Basaal has earned its place as one of The Hague's most consistently celebrated neighbourhood restaurants.
Alongside the food, a thoughtfully curated wine list — with a notable selection of biodynamic wines from small-scale producers — adds an extra dimension to the meal. Vegetarian options are available, outdoor seating is on offer, and reservations can be made in advance.
