- MelankolinaSeptember 3, 2016HUGE portions - easily feed 2 people with portion of lekkerbekjes (Dutch fish and chips). Amazing fresh fish, seafood salads and calamari are DELISH! Order, sit down, wait for your number to be called

Tobi SoundsoDecember 29, 2015The atmosphere reminds of a fast food restaurant (you order at the counter, sit down and wait for your number), but the food is delicious. This is a great place!Upvote8Downvote
Vasily K.November 27, 2013Very nice seafood place in the harbor. Majestic tuna, salmon and shrimps, big portions and nice service. No English menu, but waiters are always ready to recommend something.

Erhan KortSeptember 23, 2017Great fresh fish, huge portions and all kinds of fish. just a bit to busy, and hard to find a table. During the week it's a easier. Really recommend the tuna menu,Upvote3Downvote
Ele Gagnidze 유February 13, 2017Loved the place. Food super tasty and is served pretty quickly. Prices are fair compared to food. Tried mussels,fish combo,lobster and all were really good.place is huge so need to reserve a table.UpvoteDownvote- Alex NeaguNovember 18, 2015They serve delicious and large fish dishes which are fast prepared. You can choose your own sauce. Be aware that this place can be very crowded and is a bit on the expensive side.UpvoteDownvote
EliaDecember 13, 2016I've been there three times and ordered different dishes.The Fried stuff is oily and all the fried fishes taste like frier.Also tried fried clams and they were hard/overcooked;same as grilled musselsUpvote1Downvote
Ton van 't NoordendeAugust 24, 2014Fish right out of the harbor. 100% fresh products. When you're hosting a dinner and you want to impress, shop here ;) I'm a regular for years now and I've never been disappointed.UpvoteDownvote
Ambassade Arena Artotel The HagueMarch 31, 2014Seafoods lovers take note-this is THE place for fish in Scheveningen. Open year-round and always busy. Eat in, take-away or pick up the day's catch to grill or bake at home. Enormous deep freeze too!Upvote2Downvote
Claude PerrinAugust 19, 2019Nice place if you want to eat fresh sea food for cheap with tourists within a crowded place! bird & mouses running on the floor terrace.If u want quality, service & quiet, by all means go elsewhere !UpvoteDownvote
This is a must go when you visit Scheveningen. Especially on sundays it is a great experience. Fresh fish, low prices, place is always packed.UpvoteDownvote
CeekayMay 12, 2015Great food!!, service and ambiance-even I cant complain. Reccomend the calamari(as starter), oysters and marinated gambas

joe sandOctober 30, 2018Fresh seafood, lobster at a very good price. The queue system where they announce numbers, so you can wave and they deliver the food to your table, is archaic.UpvoteDownvote
Ambassade Arena Art'otel-Guesthouse SCHEVENINGENDecember 19, 2011The original Simonis - a lively casual "fish house" in the harbor. Order at the counter. Highly recommend for their "traiteur" take-out fresh or frozen seafoods and party "hapjes" (small bites).Upvote3Downvote
Amazing place nice concept! Good quality fish and soups! The lobster soup tastes really good with a lot of "fish" in it! Must try!UpvoteDownvote
Patrick SenderMay 18, 2015Best salmon ever! Fresh and tasty. Not cheap, but you get quality for your money!

Anna ZhdanovaJune 27, 2016Ideal place for seafood fans! Crab salad, oysters, sea bass. Everything is fresh and tasty! Must visit placeUpvoteDownvote
Make sure you ask if the shrimps are peeled or unpeeled already - you choice of dish may disappoint you with unpeeled shrimp which will make your fingers smell like garlic forever. Food is tasty thoUpvoteDownvote- Tobi SoundsoDecember 29, 2015Huge portions! If you aren't starving, starters might already be enough for you: "Simonis saunter" and "mussels au gratin" were delicious.UpvoteDownvote
I ate the best fish in town. Very reasonable price to quality ratio.

Marc CoppesNovember 9, 2012Wine lovers; almost everytime sold out, because it's a SUPERDEAL: bottle Torres Celeste Ribera del Duero Crianza 2009 for €7,50,-. Retailprice at Gall & Gall €16,-!UpvoteDownvote
Ebru K~AcerMarch 23, 2019You have to wait a lot. It is like a Burger King!! It is too crowded. the fish is fresh but the fish and chips are not good. You could not understand the fish due to the fried sauce.

Tip P.March 21, 2015The steamed lobster comes with melted butter which had the butterscotch aroma...quite impressive. Lobster soup was too salty.UpvoteDownvote
Bart LapersFebruary 4, 2014Seafood fast food, quantity wins from quality & finesse. :-sUpvoteDownvote
Nireas TheodorakopoulosMay 27, 2017Although the food was quite good they have a really messed up system to serve people! Waited 1 hour and a half to get all main dishes and we ate separately! Wouldn't recommend it!UpvoteDownvote
Machèl Van BastenNovember 2, 2013Eat inn or take it home. The best place for fresh fish!!Upvote1Downvote
