Seems underrated and under visited, but this is an excellent Japanese restaurant. Go for a 5-course surprise menu and drink lots of sake. Everything is mouth watering good here, super hygienic and high quality.

Arguably best beer in the Netherlands, Kompaan Bier, huge selection, fair finger foods, industrial atmosphere, just a great, hip place to visit.
Try out the taster of 5 beers and be surprised about all the flavors they put in beer from orange blossom, to figs, elderberry and coffee

Best Thai on this side of The Hague. Strange menu: you have to "assemble" your dish yourself; choose meats of fish, sauces and vegetables, rice or noodles. Many love this place. Must reserve.
