Cafe Cartouche

This quintessential Hague brown café anchors the city’s social scene with unpretentious culinary precision. The menu centers on Dutch classics, notably the prized Eveleens smoked eel served on buttery toasted brioche with a sharp citrus finish. For a more robust encounter, the Black Angus cowburger arrives on a toasted Italian roll, layered with earthy truffles, salty bacon, and sharp cheddar. It is a masterclass in pub-style comfort, where technique elevates the familiar.
