Restaurant Basaal - Takeaway

When the second lockdown was announced, the restaurants had to close. The only way to get your favourite food nowadays is via takeaway. To anticipate on this, we reached out to our audience and Restaurant Basaal contact us shortly after. We went to the Hague fully equipped and shot some beautiful pictures. During our first takeaway session, we had some unique and special food from this international orientated restaurant.

We started with tureen made of bovine tongue and duck liver together with Amsterdam onions and lentils. This was something we never tried before and we noticed quickly that it is not for everyone.
Next up was the Pulpo a la Gallega made via a Portuguese traditional recipe from the grandma of one of the employees. The Pulpo (ocotpus) is prepared with potato, paprika powder and parsley. A great dish with some good flavours!
Another dish we tried is the Bacalhau (codfish) salad with chickpeas and boiled egg. The strong flavour from the Bacalhau in combination with the chickpeas made this one of our top picks! The last dish we tried was the beetroot salad with aged farmer’s cheese, pistachio and cress. This one is another great dish we loved, mainly because it is something different from the menu that mostly contains meat. The farmer’s cheese is certainly present and this is a plus if you ask us.

The desserts were absolutely amazing. We tried the pumpkin pie with custard and the ricepudding with mango and almond crumble. Especially the pumpkin pie was fenominal. It was so soft and full of flavour that we highly recommend this one. The ricepudding is another goodlooking dish we enjoyed eating but the pie was our favourite.
Finally, if you like unique, special and tasty food, you should definitly try the takeaway dishes of Basaal in the Hague.

Bagels & Beans – Takeaway review

10/12/2020

Recently, we decided to order two bagels at Bagels & Beans since we were really graving for some lunch.
We hadn’t eaten at Bagels & Beans since last summer due to the pandemic. Therefore we were very happy that we were able to order through takeaway.

Restaurant Basaal – Summer Dreamin’ Cocktail Supper

Nick Riethoven — Wed, 11 Nov 2020 16:00:54 +0000

During the The Hague Cocktailweek 2020, we visited restaurant Basaal for the Summer Dreamin’ Cocktail Supper, a 6-course dinner with matching cocktails.
Restaurant Basaal is located at the Dunne Bierkade in the citycentre of The Hague and they offer a wide variety of international dishes.

We attended the Summer Dreamin’ Cocktail Supper and the first dish was steak tartare from pumpkin with caviar and beetroot.
To match the flavours of our first course, we received a Moscow Mule with Van Kleef orangebitter, vodka and gingerbeer.
Our second course was a pike-perch fish cake with anchovies, olives and tomato. We received this course together with a Belsazar Fizz cocktail which contained Vermouth/D’Alsace.
The main course was wild duck with celery, stew and chives which tasted absolutely delicious! The Gin & Tonic from Nádar gin en verveine perfectly matched this dish by enhancing the flavour of the duck.
The fourth course was a small course which contained a crayfish croquet and sangria with medium sherry.
Finally, we received a pistache cake with crimson pear and white chocolate ice as a dessert. We also got a Strawberry Margarita with Patrón tequila and an Espresso Martini.

We had an wonderful evening and we enjoyed all the food and drinks that we received. The service was great and the food was beautifully prepared and very delicious. If this event will be offered next year during the cocktailweek at restaurant Basaal, we would certainly like to revisit this restaurant again!
