Where can you find good Indonesian food in The Hague?
After the Second World War and Indonesia’s independence, many people from the former Dutch East Indies moved to the Netherlands. A large number of them settled in The Hague. To this day, the city is home to a large Indo-Dutch community.
You can still taste this history throughout the city. The Hague has many Indonesian restaurants and toko’s – in fact, more than any other city in the Netherlands – including even a vegetarian one! Discover the Indonesian restaurants and toko’s that are favourites among locals in The Hague.
