    We had an amazing evening at Ethica, from the amouse-gueule to the main dish, to the dessert and the little treats served with coffee. You can truly taste the quality, love and creativity in every bite. We also really appreciated the service - very friendly and attentive. Will definitely come back and would recommend 1000 times :)

    A big thank you to the hosts! I've had a wonderful evening. The starters, the menu, the restaurant's own black ale, the hosts! This place is definitely on my list when I'll return to Hague. I recommend it to any gourmand/food lover. It's simply a pleasure being there! My apologies for the photos, they don't do the place justice.

    It remains one of our favorite restaurants. You always have the option to get 3 or 4 courses with two options per course. The entire meal is meant to be a composition where the flavors of each course fit together. This time we had fancy spin-offs of traditional Northern European cuisine, e.g. different roasted vegetables, wild meats and locally purchased goat's cheeses. Note: Not glutton friendly. You don't really go to this place to stuff yourself, but to enjoy the flavors of the dishes 😋

    Really nice and friendly restaurant. Not all dishes are vegetarian but anyway there is a quite big choice of vegetarian dishes. The borrel dishes are satisfying and abbondant. I was also very happy about the choice of non alcoholic drinks.

    Few days ago we visited this place. It was really good experience. Service was very friendly and helpful. Food was great. Pulled roe with artichoke salad was surprisingly good and main course, what was roe with sauce with chilli and coffee, was amazing! Food presentation was also nice. It was fair amount of food for that price and quite big portions for 4-course menu (I'm not complaining 🙃). Only interior looks more like lunch-sandwich place than good dinner place, but food and service is great, so it's worth to check this place!

    The main theme here is sustainability, a very sympathetic assumption. It's visible in the interior design , and surely in the menu. The olives from their own trees were wonderfully rich in taste, even though as big as a pea. All the starters were great. The codfish main dish had a perfectly cooked piece of fish, but the veggies underneath had a bit too much of a tang. The wines served with every dish were great! After the very tasteful main dish the paté of wild bore was a bit bland in taste. All in all we had a very good dinner, with prices overall a bit too high for the menu served.

    We decided to go here for our one year, and chose to experience their four course dining + wine tasting. Firstly, the atmosphere is very nice, we sat outside by the canal. The lighting was also nicely lit and the service was super welcoming and accomodating. The wine pairing matched very well with each courses, it didn't feel like you were drinking a bottle of wine. I Believe around 80-90% is also locally sourced from the Netherlands, and is all freshly made. We started with a venison tartar - it was delicious and not too gamey, there was a nice balance of crunch to balance the softness of the tartar. Our second course one got a crayfish tartar bisque, which was creamy and delicious. Very easy to eat and perfect after the deer! And the other, garden peas with mint. A nice pea pure base, topped their garden veggies. It was a very nice, light and refreshing dish after the venison. For our main course, we both had the half pigeon. We were greeted by the chef, who explained the multiple day process of preparing this dish. This made the experience very personal. This dish you have three variations of beets, it was nice but definitely an overpowering taste. The gravy was phenomenal, I do wish there was a bit more gravy to balance more of the beat flavour. For desert one had the chocolate cake with ginger. You wouldn't think ginger and chocolate go well. But this was delicious, a spoon full of chocolate, ice cream, peach and ginger and it's a flavor bomb, the ginger does not overpower the chocolate, but instead adds a bit of a spicy, tangy flavor. Definitely a don't knock it till you try it moment. Second had the Goat cheese board, which I have to say was one of my favorite parts. The strengths of the cheese crescendo from weaker to much more robust, and the chef does an amazing job of it. One equally different and stronger than the last. If you like cheese/perfer a more savory finish, I would choose this. Such a nice end to an amazing meal!

    I don’t leave many reviews but I feel obliged to here. We started the evening greeted by lovely people and the service was excellent from the start, with delicious wine and a cocktail too. The sustainable sourcing is also very impressive. However, the food was just so disappointing - lacking flavour, strange combinations of tastes on the dish, small portions. It was all quite deceiving with the beautiful presentation and articulate description. I’m not sure if the restaurant has gone downhill/had a bad night given it’s great reviews elsewhere.

    Excellent food, original creations. Good service, nice relaxed atmosphere. But only go if you have time, because the dishes come quite slowly.

    I took my Asian parents to try something different on our trip to The Hague. It was a fantastic dining experience, both in the food quality and service. We were greeted warmly and felt comfortable throughout. The food was flavorful and creative. A perfect place for my parents, who like taking pictures 😃 as I am always on the hunt for good desserts, their thyme crème brûlée definitely made a great impression 🫶🏽 haven’t had a dining experience like this one in a long time. A big thank you to the team 💛

    Very nice staff serving great food! I really like how they created dishes that you do not see often on the menu, all with seasonal products.

    I am not a fan of eating out but the ethical ingenuity of Ethica proved enticing to me, enough to try. Some of the best meals I have eaten. Healthy and highly digestive with vibrant and inventive combinations local and organic. Don’t get me started on the wines!

    Excellent food and selection of drinks. Staff are very knowledgable and obviously take a lot of pride in the restaurant and its vision. Great service and very homely restaurant. Would absolutely recommend.

  • 5/5 Daphne 1 year ago on Google
    Had a FANTASTIC meal, incredible idea, food, service. Truly exceptional. I am vegan but as I love meat I felt this was the place to make an exception: only wild animals, whose population is surging, from the Netherlands, some even shot by the owner of the restaurant. Practising what they preach!

  • 5/5 Emile D. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice place for a cocktail and snacks or a fine dinner with fresh and local products. Service is on point and cheerful, a place to see in Den Haag

  • 5/5 Corey M. 4 years ago on Google
    Fantastic dinner. Lovely spot. We were greeted warmly by the owner and shown to our reserved table. We order starters. The tuna tempura for my husband was not only delicious but plated beautifully. I had the carrot ginger soup served over coconut and coriander. Just perfect. My husband had a mid-course or raviolis.

    My favorite restaurant in The Hague now! Love all: food, personal, interior, idea 😍 Thanks for such a nice, “gezellig” and tasty place!!!

  • 5/5 Viviane S. 2 years ago on Google
    The most delicious, healthy, and sustainable foodplace you will find! They have a great service as well and really know their stuff! Also, I've never tried more delicious and interesting cider.

  • 5/5 Daniel M. 2 years ago on Google
    Young crew with lots of creativity and talent for food and friendlyness. They have 1 veggie menu and one meat menu, with only wild game.

  • 4/5 Aysegul Y. 2 years ago on Google
    I visited this place with a group of friends. Menu was very special, and food was well thought of. They made a very good and tasty combination of vegetables ( I tried only the vegetarian options). It almost felt like a Michelin restaurant. My only comment is that I would prefer to have more options to order just one dish rather than a menu. The staff were super friendly! A very nice experience!

  • 5/5 Sergio G. 2 years ago on Google
    Great 3-course menu with mushrooms, cauliflower and strawberries. Attentive service.

  • 4/5 Javier L. 2 years ago on Google
    Would really like to give extra stars but, to be honest, we didn´t eat anything beyond their original version of bitterballen, which was good. What did surprise was how, in days of sloppy, bad service in many places, here it was truly efficient, fast and friendly. Sometimes that's all you need.

    Awesome food. I had several foodgasms while eating there. Spectacular. Try the risotto!!!

  • 5/5 Lauren H. 2 years ago on Google
    Great vegetarian menu and wine pairing. Very nice service. For meat eaters they have very sustainable offerings as well

  • 4/5 Renu S. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice terrace with very tasty falafal and cup of cappuccino. They treat there customers with a big bright smile which really uplifts your mood. Great job Ethica restuarant. Must try in Den Haag

  • 5/5 Vlad C. 2 years ago on Google
    Great concept, delicious food and wine, and very friendly staff. Loved it, and will return for sure!

  • 5/5 Chris M. 3 years ago on Google
    Really enjoyed my dinner here. The menu was unique, and I would definitely come back to try something else. The sloppy joe and cauliflower steak were both good, and not something I've ever been able to order in the Netherlands. Despite the covid situation, Ethica still felt cozy and welcoming. I'd recommend this restaurant, and think it's a great addition to the Hague's restaurant scene.
