"With a delightful waterside terrace for sunny days and a cosy interior with a Scandinavian and vintage feel for when the weather is cooler, this inviting neighbourhood restaurant has plenty going for it. But, of course, the focal point is the kitchen, where chef Daan van Munster creates honest market-fresh cuisine. Whether you prefer to share with your dining companions or go solo, you can compile your own set menu from a tempting list of options, including some rather unconventional dishes. Think creamy veal neck and foie gras terrine, or tender veal tongue with coco de Paimpol beans and a robust veal stock sauce. This chef takes his cue from the seasons, and vegetables are always a key part of his dishes. The moderately priced wine list is the icing on the cake." - Michelin Inspector

Always outstanding. Incredible value for money considering how high quality the food is. Every time we have someone visiting us in The Hague we bring them here because it never disappoints. Fantastic emphasis on local and seasonal ingredients. The dishes are well thought out with incredibly flavourful sauces. Wine list is really great with lots of good options. Service is excellent.

The atmosphere looks nice because next to a canal. Dinner is a shared dinning concept, so the dishes are small. The names of some main courses are hard to imagine what it would be. What we got is out of our expectations. The low point however is because potato bread and fries are way too salty and our main course flavour is just not impressive. Feel the street more suitable for just sitting outside for drinks.

We made a day trip to The Hague just to eat at Basaal and it was totally worth it. We arrived early so we had to wait for a while when the staff got ready. I didn’t mind it at all to spend a breezy late afternoon near the canal. The restaurant got me at hello. The space is cozy, with wood furniture and big windows that let in loads of natural light. We kicked things off with coppa, their signature pommes darphin (crispy, golden perfection!), and wood-fired potato bread. All simple, all delicious. For mains, we had the mussels from Zeeland—briny and fresh with a miso-cider twist—and the ex-dairy cow, which was surprisingly tender and sauce was a little on the heavier side. The vibe was slow and chill, and the food was thoughtful.

Everything was nice, service is very friendly and attentive - compared to many other restaurants, and they have cider from Normandy! Go on a warm sunny day and sit on a terrace - it’s very cozy and green. Too bad we didn’t try those potato squares but potato bread was also tasty. Chocolate mousse was also great, it’s big, so better to order to share for 2 people :)

Basaal was an amazing experience, and I would recommend it to anyone looking to enjoy a great atmosphere with excellent food. The bread served as a starter was delicious, and the white asparagus with peanuts was a delightful surprise! But the highlight was definitely the fish—perfectly cooked! The chocolate ganache was just as delicious as everything else. It's also worth mentioning that the service was outstanding. The staff was incredibly friendly, and our table was never empty. Considering the quality of the food, service, and overall experience, the price is very fair. I will definitely return!

The white asparagus with the hazelnut and miso sauce was very delicious!!!!! The Cod was very good too. We had the Chocolate Ganache dessert, and that was incredible. WOW! The flavors of all the dishes were amazing. Super friendly staff. A+. Reservations might be needed. We got lucky, and were able to sit without reservation.

Nice and cozy restaurant, with a small regional menu, and sustainable ingredients. The service is very kind, prepared, and not invasive, highly appreciated! The atmosphere is really nice, but the room was very noisy - maybe a table less would have been perfect. The menu is small, but everything is really delicious! I can recommend everything we ordered. Also the wines are pretty genuine.

Loved this place! The atmosphere is cozy and warm and the food is phenomenal. The potato bread is a must and we loved the mushrooms and lamb. But everything was beyond delicious and the service was impeccable. The window seat was fun for watching people pass by. Highlight of our vacation for sure!

I am struggling between 4 and 5 stars here. Cava and pate openers were excellent. The mussels were phenomenal. Everyone's meal was so good, especially the steak (I had a taste). But my seafood stew wasn't very good. I'm not a cheesecake guy, but theirs was incredible. Atmosphere was a little formal (a little bright / white table cloths). Service was friendly and helpful, especially as they nicely accomodated a very large group.

We had a large group (19) but the staff handled it like we were a small table. The food was some of the best I've had in The Netherlands, and the wine they paired with it worked extremely well. Our waitress was the politest and hardest working lady I've met, and is a credit to the restaurant. This is a fine establishment with food of the highest quality. If you are in The Hague, you should find the time to dine here, you will not be disappointed.

Well prepared, creative, innovative dishes from excellent ingredients. Great selection of wines by the glass. Professional waitress/sommelier.

My friend who works in the Hague, a.k.a. Den Haag, took me here during my first trip to den Haag in March. The food is great and the service is equally exceptional. The menu is seasonal and when I went there, headcheese of beef cheeks was on the menu (yum!). I had pork chops for entree and shared a few desserts amongst my friends - the chocolate soufflé and a tartin of berries were really good. The staffs are attentive and very knowledgeable on the wine pairing for our dinner. Overall, the meal was one of the best I had during my visit to one of Netherlands' more underrated cities. :)

Very, very good. In Den Haag, it's hard to justify anything other than Indonesian or herring, but this place does it. Some say it's Dutch food, I think it's more broadly continental European. I had the most tender, wonderful fish with potatoes dauphie. Others had a stew. The wine (recommended by the chef) was great. It's a small place, but we did not feel cramped. The chef participated in the service and was a truly gracious host, This was really a very solid restaurant, and I would go back in a heartbeat.

Two friends and visited Den Haag on a weekend break. Hunting for a good quality & reasonably priced dinner we settled on Basaal. Great choice. The food was fresh, delicious, nicely prepared & presented. I had the chicken livers appetizer & lamb. One friend had the fish, the other a beef dish. All were well pleased. Staff is. Erg friendly and attentive. I'd return.

Great food, definitely worth the slightly high price. From what the waiter explained, I got the idea they cared about the ingredients, and you can definitely taste that. The interior is nicely decorated with a retro touch (apart from the bathroom upstairs which is painted in a horribly brown colour). The waiter was very attentive and served the dishes at the exact right moment. He was slightly too pretentious though, for example by pronouncing all the exotic ingredients in a slightly too fast and unarticulated way. I didn't dare to ask him to speak slower. All in all, good food, worth the price, even if the service is slightly snobbish.
