Dungelman 1861 (The Hague, The Netherlands)

New Babylon, The Hague, The Netherlands

 

Dungelman is a famous Dutch butcher, founded in 1861, which is particularly known for its own version of the meat croquette. They recent opened up a restaurant next to the Central Station of The Hague, which serves all kinds of dishes - including rice and pasta - but mainly sandwiches with their own lunch or prepared meats.

 

I get a croquette sandwich (€2.45) and a spicy meatball sandwich (€2.75). The croquette is lukewarm and small, consisting mainly of threads of meat rather than ragout. Disappointing. The meatball is ok, but not spicy.

 

VERDICT: 74/100

Not bad, but disappointing for such an institution.
