Lemongrass Scheveningen: Harbour-Side Seafood & Bistro Classics

Roots at the water’s edge

Lemongrass brings its harbour-side seafood focus to Scheveningen, channeling decades of commercial fishing knowledge from the Roeleveld family into a straightforward kitchen. The team builds each plate around daily catches, pairing them with reliable bistro foundations and a carefully curated wine list. Their fish-forward menu relies on clean techniques rather than heavy sauces.

Precision on the plate

Gault&Millau awarded the venue twelve and a half points, noting a tuna carpaccio dressed in a light citrus and eel vinaigrette that finishes with sharp red onion and chives. Regular visitors return for the weekly specials, including three cream-butter pan-fried halibuts served with crisp fries on Mondays. Thursday brings a shifting three-course lobster menu or a whole grilled crustacean prepared simply over open heat.

Harbourside hospitality

The dining room sits directly beside the Tweede Haven canal, where natural light fills the space during afternoon service. Staff guide guests through simple seasonal menus while maintaining a relaxed pace that suits both quick lunches and longer evening gatherings. Every table receives the same unhurried attention.
