One of the nicest gems in culinary The Hague with a lovely sunny terrace. We have been coming here for years, and Sylvia always puts incredibly delicious food on the table. No fuss, no haute cuisine but just loving and creative delicious food. And that for a very reasonable price. Recommended!

This former coffee kiosk recently became a brasserie. A (changing) four-course menu for just 24. Surprisingly delicious with excellent wines. The hostess is also the chef. You'll definitely want to come back!

Sylvia can cook like the best. Always very surprising what she serves. Everything is equally delicious. We are always very welcome.

This Easter we treated ourselves to a takeaway meal from Brasserij de Laer. When we picked up the meal we received information on the final preparation. The meal was delicious. Thank you

How cozy it is! I'd never been there before. A lively jazz band of three accompanied the delicious lunch. We even danced at the end! It was a wonderful afternoon in every way.

Tsja, de Laer. Voor mij de fijnste plek in Den Haag! Relaxed, super service en eigenlijk áltijd lekker eten. Tóp, Sylvia en Gerrit!

It was the first and certainly not the last time for me and two friends. The location is one of a kind, the chef Syl and the service are exceptionally friendly. You get a 4 course menu for 24.50, you only choose a main course. Always start with soup, followed by a salad and a wide choice of main courses, followed by a classic semolina pudding or coffee. We had a delicious meal and enjoyed the warm atmosphere! Thanks ladies and see you soon!
