Restaurant 6&24, named after the birth dates of owners Rik and Saskia van der Laar, has gotten a sister: Resumé 6&24. And let's get straight to the point: it's a culinary enrichment for the city of The Hague. What a wonderful spot, and you can really taste the love for the craft. Resumé literally means 'repetition of the content, but summarized'. In practice, this translates to the same hospitality and quality as 6&24, but in a more relaxed format. You can come here for a glass of fine champagne with a bite to eat, choose from one of the 25 wines available by the glass, or sip on a non-alcoholic cocktail. You can have lunch, grab a snack, or order from the à la carte menu. Quick business lunches are also an option, all served in a super fun, retro-styled ambiance or on the delightful terrace overlooking the water. Located at one of The Hague's nicest spots, on the Bierkade. We start our evening with two different champagnes. Resumé offers no fewer than twelve varieties to choose from, and we're happy to be advised by the exceptionally skilled and friendly hostess, Saskia. We receive a beautiful Brut Nature from their house brand Guy de Forez, along with a Blanc de Blancs from Michel Furdyna. After this aperitif, we start with tuna with sesame and passion fruit, and beef steak tartare from Epe. The tuna is sublime, and the steak tartare is decent. It's just not succulent enough. Adding a little sauce would make the difference between a good and a perfect dish. Roasted avocado with papaya and curry, grilled langoustines, and short rib with pickles and curry follow. Fantastic creations and flavor combinations, which we hope will become absolute staples on the menu. We finish off with a Dutch cheese board. It's always nice when restaurants take the trouble to source cheese locally. Especially the Fiore red-rind from Boerderij Oudwijker and the Bunker Blue from Terschelling are amazing. Top address! Welcome to Lekker.
