Beach pavilion De Waterreus has become a household name in Scheveningen. The well-known beach pavilion has been located parallel to the lighthouse for decades. Since 2016 you can even come here 365 days a year: as the first permanent beach restaurant in Scheveningen, De Waterreus is the perfect place to enjoy a delicious bite to eat and a sociable drink from summer to winter with a view of the North Sea. No wonder De Waterreus was voted Best Beach Pavilion in the Netherlands in 2016.
Trendy with a touch of Scheveningen
The winter-hardy location of De Waterreus was completely redesigned in 2016. The beach pavilion combines the rugged and sleek look of a trendy restaurant with maritime and old Scheveningen elements that give it a homely atmosphere. On the large terrace you can sit sheltered from the wind, but with a panoramic view of the sea. Perfect for sunny autumn days!
Menu
De Waterreus loves working with great products that are a real part of the beach. The extensive menu therefore includes dishes such as North Sea sole in butter and a Scheveningen hotpot. The cocktail menu invites you to have an additional drink in the summer on the sunny terrace. And in the winter months you can warm up here after a wonderful walk along the beach with a hot chocolate milk and a slice of freshly baked pie.
Breakfast buffet every Sunday
On Sundays De Waterreus always serves an unlimited breakfast buffet for young and old. With a variety of luxury rolls, eggs prepared to your liking and many types of fillings. Enjoy a relaxed Sunday morning with a view of the sea!
Reservations
During the weekend and on lovely summer days you are advised to make a reservation for the restaurant.
