Sustainable dining on the waterfront

Restaurant Ethica, nestled on the corner of Dunne Bierkade, simply deserves to be discovered! With a delightful menu, a compelling story, and a prime location in The Hague, there are plenty of reasons to settle in here very soon. And with the approaching spring weather, that idea becomes even more enticing. Dining at Ethica is also possible on the terrace by the water. Don’t forget to take a look inside as well, as the bar is magically beautiful and the restaurant exudes an incredibly cozy atmosphere.

From Boekhorst to Dunne Bierkade

Fun fact: the original plan of owners Joske and Robin was to open a restaurant in Boekhorststraat. The building was inspected and chosen, and everything seemed to be falling into place. Time passed, and it took longer and longer before they could proceed with their plans. As enthusiastic and entrepreneurial as they are, they organized a pop-up restaurant in the meantime on the corner of Dunne Bierkade. This property, a former hospitality school, was also vacant. The owner of the building was very enthusiastic about the duo’s plans, and a collaboration ensued. The same applied to Joske and Robin. So, a change of plans! The dream continued at Dunne Bierkade. If you ask us, in a gem of a building with a perfect terrace by the water, where you can catch the last rays of sunshine in the summer. What more could you want?!

Much more to come!

But Joske and Robin want much more. They have boundless energy and ambition and many more beautiful goals in mind. They completely renovated the restaurant during the COVID-19 lockdown: the basement has been refurbished and divided into different spaces, the vegetable garden is now taking serious shape, and Robin has even obtained his hunting license. Yes, you read that right. A hunting license. What does he use this for? To source meat sustainably for the restaurant. In the Netherlands, there is an excess of deer, disrupting the balance in nature. With his hunting license, he is allowed to hunt these animals and can then prepare delicious locally sourced venison in the kitchen of Ethica. This is the way to obtain meat sustainably!
