Favourite restaurant

Elise Maaskant: "The other day I discovered The tasting boutique on Oude Molstraat. This is an atmospheric restaurant where owner Amber has created a deliciously unique menu. You can go there for lunch, drinks and shared dining. My tip is the 'route through the menu', in which several dishes from the menu pass by."

Tastiest cake

Elise Maaskant: "What you really pleased me with makes, is a 'cinnamon bun' from Bartine on Piet Heinstraat. If you along walking into the bakery, you can already smell the warm cinnamon scent. Anyway, they have very tasty'pastries'. Their 'Plum Danish' is also definitely worth a try."

Guilty pleasure

Elise Maaskant: "Basically everything from The Colourful Cow Chocolate. In this boutique they sell handmade bonbons. Recently, they also have a chocolate vending machine where you can get bonbons from the wall day and night. You understand that my round with the dog is by default via Piet Heinstraat “

De Bonte Koe in The Hague

 Where in The Hague do you get a holiday feeling? 

Elise Maaskant: "Of course The Hague is in a beautiful spot with the beach as its backyard, but I think some of the squares in the Zeeheldenkwartier also really have their charm! Take it Prince Henry Squarein, as you have cosy terraces, fountains and 'fragrant magnolia's. Retrieved from a balmy summer evening does this almost Mediterranean to."

Golden tip 

Elise Maaskant: "The Bookstor. That is the place for good coffee and literature on the Noordeinde. At this 103-year-old bookstore, you can linger on the terrace with a novel in the sun or take a seat at the bar inside with your laptop. This is one of my favourite spots in The Hague!"

Special shop

Elise Maaskant: "On the corner of Suezkade sits the Sewing, a sustainable sewing studio where you can have your clothes repaired, workshops & courses follow and you can participate in clothing-'swaps'. It is also worth walking in and checking out their vintage garments!"
