About
Tucked along the Noordeinde in The Hague, restaurant Elea reframes the Greek culinary tradition for a contemporary audience. Chef Takis Panagakis draws on Hellenic ingredients and heritage, handling them with creative precision to produce dishes that feel both familiar and genuinely surprising.
The accolades reflect that ambition: a 14/20 from Gault&Millau, a Michelin Selected distinction, four We're Smart radishes for its vegetable-forward approach, and a place in the Lekker Top 500 for 2026. On the floor, host Bibi Kuyp provides warm, attentive hospitality that rounds out the experience.
Open Thursday through Monday — with lunch service added on weekends — Elea also offers outdoor seating for those who want to take in the surroundings. Reservations are available and recommended.
Book your table at Elea and experience one of The Hague's most decorated modern Greek kitchens.
