Bites & coffees
Tommy’s & Zuurveen
A restaurant where everything clicks without feeling too stiff. Fantastic and original dishes, a beautiful little building in a fantastic location, and a super friendly and knowledgeable host. That’s what you get when you let childhood friends Tom and Teun run a restaurant. One is a sommelier and host, the other a chef. Turns out, they make a top duo.
Like a storybook
The entrepreneurial story of owners Tom and Teun sounds like a storybook. They’ve known each other since elementary school, but their paths crossed again six years ago. At that time, Tom (a true hospitality man) called Teun after years, with a reason. Tom had his eye on a little building on the Veenkade where, after years of working on the beach, he wanted to start his own business. He asked Teun, knowing he was extremely talented, if he would run the kitchen. And so it was done.
Lunch, borrel boat, and dinner
Teun is now a co-owner, and after 5 years, the small building on the Veenkade was exchanged for a space twice as large just a short distance away. Besides dinner, they now also serve lunch seven days a week. One huge advantage of the new location is the drinks boat docked right outside the restaurant. There, you can gently sway with a glass of wine in hand and a delicious snack on your table, right on the Hague’s canal. It’s a delightful spot!
So, grab that Haagse Schatten gift card and head to the Veenkade. Or gift the card to someone you think deserves an afternoon on the drinks boat or a lovely dinner!
