The story
Resumé by 6&24 opened its doors on the Bierkade in The Hague in February 2023, the younger sibling of the established restaurant 6&24. The name itself hints at the concept: a “summary” of the same culinary philosophy, distilled into a more relaxed format. Here, the team brings the same dedication to quality and hospitality that earned its predecessor a loyal following, now in a space that blurs the line between wine bar, food bar, and restaurant.
Owner-chef Rik van de Laar has been cooking since the age of twelve. His passion for nature and local produce drives both 6&24 and Resumé. In the kitchen at Resumé, chef Job van den Berg—a former 6&24 cook with broad experience—works closely with Rik to maintain consistency. The result is a menu built on the same high-quality ingredients from the same local farmers and suppliers, but presented more simply. As they put it: “the same quality, the same local farmers, but as simpler dishes.”
Resumé serves an à la carte menu all day, with no fixed tasting menus. Guests compose their own meal from a range of small plates, shareable items, and larger dishes. Highlights include cured meats from the slicer, notably Iberico products sourced directly from Jamón Appétit in Spain, and Dutch cheeses from Het Kaasatelier in Oud Gastel. The kitchen focuses on International cuisine, using top-tier produce in creative, unfussy preparations.
The wine program is a central draw. Resumé offers 12 different Champagnes by the glass and 25 still wines by the glass, alongside a deep bottle list. The bar also serves alcohol-free cocktails and draft beer. In warmer months, the terrace opens for outdoor dining.
In 2026, Resumé by 6&24 received a Bib Gourmand from Michelin, an award that recognizes good quality, good value cooking. It fits the restaurant’s ethos: refined but accessible, generous without pretense. The interior combines counter dining, lounge seating, and a convivial bar, making it suitable for everything from a quick glass of wine to a leisurely dinner. Whether you come for a plate of jamón, a glass of Champagne, or a full meal, the approach is the same—warm, professional, and rooted in a genuine love for the craft.
