Anyone been to The Hague/Den Haag?

[SVX]

Morning denizens of FD&R,

I was just wondering if any of our number have spent any time in The Hague, and can recommend any hostelries in the Centrum?

I'm going to be working there 3 days a week until the end of June, possibly longer...

Cheers,

SVX.

Can't recommend any restaurants in particular however when in Holland go for an Indonesian meal and order a rijsttafel (rice table). Make sure you don't have breakfast in the morning.

Here's a brief history......



"The Dutch colonial feast, the rijsttafel, was created to provide a banquet that would represent the multi-ethnic nature of the Indonesian archipelago. Dishes were assembled from many of the far flung regions of Indonesia, - vegetarian cuisine from the predominantly Hindu island of Bali, halal cuisine from the Sumatra region, and many others from the hundreds of inhabited islands, which know more than 300 regional and ethnic language groups. Brought back to the Netherlands after Indonesia gained its independence in 1945, the rijsttafel was predominantly popular with Dutch families with colonial roots. It consists of many side dishes served in small portions, accompanied by rice prepared in several different ways."
