Chef Alberto was trained & worked as a bio-chemist (I believe), studied opera singing, and now has a mind-blowing restaurant based on his dreams and memories of Mexico. It is NOT Mexican as you know it - it is beyond anything you can imagine. It is among the top restaurants I recommend in the city.

Parks & Nature

Admire the different deer, ducks & geese that have made The Hague their home; jog in the beautiful forest, take a peek at the Royal Palace, wander under the trees. There is a pannekoeken and poffertjes restaurant here for the typical Dutch meal. During WWII, the planters had microphones embedded in them for spying. Bruce Springsteen, Rolling Stones, have played here. If your timing is right, a big concert may be here.
