Catch by Simonis in Wijk 07 Scheveningen

The ultimate seafood restaurant. I am truly amazed at how hospitably you are received. How attentive they are. The high quality food served there. Dame blanche is special, but the original is better. Hot chocolate, though. That much is true. Particularly fun entertainment. Thanks!

Catch has been one of my favorite restaurants right from the start, about 13 years ago, where I love to go when I have something to celebrate. Top quality, beautiful establishment, and a wonderful, luxurious atmosphere.

They serve great food at a steep price. We paid EUR 272 for 4 people starters, main course and a few drinks. No dessert. Two of us had the slibtong as main course, which just came with 1 portion of fries. We asked if they forgot one, they said no. This is policy: one order of slibtong comes with 1 portion of fries. When 2 people order it, also 1 order of fries. If you order 3, then 2 portion of fries. We asked 2 waiters to be sure, and this was confirmed. We fail to understand why they skimp on a few slices of potatoe when charging these prices. Furthermore, we had a table upstairs. Very noisy, warm and cramped. When paying the bill they asked if all was ok. I said: not really. This remark was met with silence until we walked out. It was not a nice experience for us and we will probably not go again.

The food is okay, quite pricey, but you know that beforehand. It's a shame that everything is deep-fried in soy oil, but that probably has to do with costs. What bothered me most was the mediocre standard of the staff skipping around. They all just stand huddled together, acting all nice to each other but not to the guests. When leaving, just stay standing right in the middle of the passageway, don't move aside, and absolutely no one says goodbye or even looks at you. Surely this isn't the way to treat guests who have just spent a fortune on a meal? It used to be really different; a nice, cozy place with enthusiastic staff. Unfortunately, nothing is left of that.

Yesterday we had a wonderful meal with my father! This evening was unforgettable and very enjoyable😄 we had a sweet and very professional waiter serving us (Raymond) and the food and wine were delicious!

Very delicious food and good service!

I’ve been to over 3000 restaurants thus far in my life, and this has to be one of the best. Highly-recommended and a must-try.

We ate delicious sushi and a small sea bass. The entertainment with 80s and 90s music (live music) was also absolutely top-notch. In short, we had another great afternoon at Catch!

We had a wonderful meal at Catch; the food was exquisite. Even though the restaurant was completely full, the pleasant acoustics meant we weren't bothered by the crowds at all. Compliments to our host: super attentive, sharp, and hospitable! We wanted for nothing. Highly recommended!

We arrived quite disheveled after a bike ride through the dunes and were warmly welcomed despite our unsuitable attire. We had a wonderful meal, and the staff were very patient with our toddler. The food was excellent. We all ordered different fish dishes, all of which were superbly prepared. The portions were generous, and there was a good selection of wines. The value for money was outstanding; we felt very comfortable and will definitely return if we are ever in the area again.

When I made the reservation, I mentioned that my husband is allergic to nuts. When we arrived, we told the host again, and when ordering, we told our waiter a third time. Despite this, his dish was served with nuts. Although the dish was not charged, our evening was completely ruined. It was my birthday, and instead of celebrating we had to leave urgently to get the allergic reaction treated. I didn't even finish my own meal. What should have been a special celebration turned into a stressful and frightening night for both of us. Fortunately his allergy is mild, but we mentioned it clearly THREE times. For someone with a more severe allergy, this could have ended much worse. I hope you will seriously improve how allergy information is communicated between reservations, front-of-house staff and the kitchen.

Good restaurant. Friendly staff. Always many guests Naturally logical

Not a pleasant experience. You order something for 25 euros (optional caviar with a seafood platter). They misunderstand you and give you something for 89 euros (there is also a caviar menu listed elsewhere that I hadn't seen). Because you have a seafood platter that wasn't very clear (see photo), you don't realize they made a mistake when you receive the food. Then there is an unpleasant discussion about the bill, where the restaurant doesn't want to cut their losses, but I have to pay 65 euros while I ordered something for 25 euros. Because I didn't want any hassle, I offered 170, which would have put us in the middle, but they really wanted 180 euros, so I went with that. In my opinion, that makes you too stingy and you deserve a bad review. Naturally, I will remove this review if they eventually provide a decent solution.

Always good here! Enjoyed the oysters, the bisque, and the tuna was delicious!

What a lovely experience this was! First time eating here. You walk in and immediately see how stylish and neat it is. Mega chic! The staff are dressed very smartly. The food was amazing! I was still a novice when it came to this kind of food. My boyfriend took me along for my birthday, so I let him choose everything. And wow!! We had such a delicious meal. New cutlery with every round. Everything was super clean everywhere. The staff is friendly. The restaurant is clean and very stylish. The food was PERFECT!

Wonderfully beautiful and good restaurant, very attentive and efficient service.

The acoustics at the tables upstairs are a bit poor. Very busy.

Had a fantastic birthday lunch! We will definitely be back.

Excellent food, nice extensive menu. Plenty of wine selection. Typical Dutch service, quick and with humor.

The food is exquisite; I am a serious seafood lover, but even if you are going for a tasty steak, Simonis with Cash or Encore is not to be missed. Always super fresh and hygienic. The staff is incredibly friendly and professional. In short... if you are discerning, you must go here. We return here often because it is truly special. R. Bergenhenegouwen

Its pleasant! Best for date night

GigNormous portions of fresh fish and shellfish, yet ours of Sole were tiny compared to the giant bowls of cold lobster oysters gambas being consumed by eager Asian and XXL size Nederlanders gastronomes. It was too large to finish and too good to leave. Pardon my photo, we had taken a bite to get the full flavor first.

Nice venue, fine fish dishes, and okay service. The live music was a nice addition, but a noise level of regularly over 90 decibels made pleasant conversation impossible. It would have been just as present and convincing (the R&B was certainly good) with a bit less volume, but more in proportion.

Very nice food and quick service

Had a very nice evening with really good and tasty food. Service was excellent

Highly recommended, delicious food and good service!

Others food is good. But I personally dont like the way of king krab.

Yeah, really fun. Nice and chic and down-to-earth, super, but really super sushi and, of course, delicious fresh fish. You pay a bit for it, but you get what you pay for. Great entertainment for a Sunday afternoon.

sushi was great. tuna and swordfidh steaks were Ok, not best but ln combination with vegi Ok. Ribeye steak barely edible. Dessert apears to be good as some people apreciate them.

Had delicious sole and prawns to die for, lovely terrace!

Last week, I ate here for the first time with two friends. We were given a table with a round bench where it was very comfortable to sit, with a view of the Scheveningen harbor. Good acoustics and very pleasant service. The menu and drinks list are provided in inconveniently huge folders that you can't really place on the table. The specialty lies in fish; how could it be otherwise, being so close to the sea. However, the prices are very steep when I look at the menu. For starters, I had Asian Ribs (22 euros); super tasty and a generous portion, though perhaps a little too much hoisin sauce. For the main course, I had swordfish, but it was very disappointing: lukewarm and tasting musty. Moreover, I found the dish unbalanced, practically just on a bed of many cherry tomatoes; the promised anchovies were nowhere to be seen, and there was a little fennel salad. A very small portion considering it cost 35 euros. That could have been much better. I ordered two extra fries, otherwise it would have been a rather meager main course. Dessert was a white chocolate cheesecake, certainly a success (15 euros), but I would have preferred the pistachio ice cream my dining companion had ordered, who received three generous scoops. The cappuccino tasted good but was too lukewarm here as well. However, the service was very efficient without being obtrusive. Pleasant. The bill came to well over 330 euros for the three of us.

A modern restaurant overlooking the harbor. They serve fresh fish and seafood, along with delicious drinks. The drink prices are particularly reasonable. The service is attentive and friendly. While the prices are high, they reflect the quality of the food. Besides the oysters displayed right at the entrance, the lobster tank in the basement is also impressive. Overall, a very pleasant visit. This restaurant comes highly recommended.

The oysters&caviar was the best. The caviar is pleasantly nutty and remarkably un salty.

A place with a high ceiling. I had a large lobster, salads, everything was delicious. Excellent atmosphere. Handsome waiter.

Really delicious seafood, very good wines (and wine selection) and friendly, attentive staff.

I count calories and found this restaurant via an app that scans my plate. This fish was high in protein and fit perfectly into my daily total. The place is clean and the service is efficient.

The food was delicious! Our experience would have been even better if we had received more attention from the waitress at the beginning. It took a long time before we received the menus and could order (we had to keep asking for them ourselves). Later, we got a different waiter and he made the evening absolutely fantastic again! I will definitely come back for the seafood!

A fantastic place to enjoy a delicious meal with friendly staff. Unfortunately, not everything is as perfect as it used to be. There is a lot of dust hanging from the ceilings, making it look dirty. Furniture is falling apart here and there and has holes in the upholstery. It is high time for a renovation and a return to how it always was.

After traveling 20 km to eat at this restaurant, we discovered they don't accept DOGS. It's a shame that in 2026, there are still restaurants that choose not to accept dogs, even if they're well-behaved and accustomed to sitting calmly at the table. It's obviously the restaurant's choice, but it's also a choice that leads to losing customers: we would have dined, ordered, and paid just like any other guest. This time, they simply lost the opportunity to have us as customers. Fortunately, today there are many excellent restaurants capable of combining quality, elegance, and hospitality, even for those traveling with their dogs.

The service was correct, friendly, and somewhat reserved. Serving the dishes took a considerable amount of time for both courses, even though there were hardly any guests. Apparently, the kitchen staff were not in much of a hurry. The sushi was good. The sandwiches are far from special. Moreover, there was inconsistency regarding the presentation between the different plates, even though the same sandwiches were ordered. That does not suit a very quiet afternoon in the restaurant, nor does it match the price level. All in all, fine, but not great.

It is alwaysdd amazing here! Great food, great service, and the location is 10/10. I come here almost every week!

Excessively delicious, enjoyed everything! The spot opposite the bar is also great, nice music and the food is superb. The CC is a real treat.

Sushi for €12.50 on Wednesday evening. Delicious, and the price is reasonable!

Super delicious and the service is top-notch too! Thank you Michael! Gwenn and Mario.

At first, they wanted to seat us at a dirty table outside. After asking, we were moved to a different spot overlooking the waiters' table (so, basically no view at all), where the staff were constantly running back and forth. There were plenty of free tables at the front of the restaurant overlooking the harbor. It was a shame they couldn't seat us there. Overall, the interior and exterior seemed quite outdated and not clean. The lobster was unfortunately rubbery and overcooked. I think they wanted around €17 for a Pormstar Martini, which I only pay €12 for at the beach. All in all, not worth it at those prices.

Consistency is key!!! Keep it up!

Best Fish restaurant in town. Fresh and an expert on sea fruits and fish.

Excellent fish dishes including sushi and very friendly staff. Great view of the harbor.

Sometimes you’re in the mood for “fish in a brown jacket,” and then you go to Simonis for a bowl of fried mussels. Warm, salty, fatty, and good fish. If you then have to shell out 20 euros at Catch for your starter of “hand-peeled” mussels with garlic butter and you get an oval plate with similar fried critters, without the slightest hint of garlic, without anything actually, that is too expensive for what it is. The langoustines tasted bland (was there enough salt in the cooking water?) and had a somewhat strange mealy texture instead of being juicy. They came with a small metal container of whiskey sauce from a jar... Fortunately, the swordfish was tasty with a good combination of tangy, warm tomato ratatouille. But also steep on the pricey side at €38. Then there’s the ambiance. If you like rather loud B-grade disco hits from the 90s, you’re in the right place. We got the impression that the music was meant to make up for the lack of other guests. We asked if the volume could be turned down a bit, but that required consultation and remained without result. The service was quick and seasoned but uninterested. The menu was huge, unwieldy, dirty, and thumbed. We had been really looking forward to it but were disappointed. Fortunately, the ice cream from the ice cream parlor next door was very good.

Catch by Simonis. The food was great, the atmosphere was pleasant, and overall, it was a good option.

Excellent food and service. A bit pricey: a bottle of water costs 9 euros...

Wonderful experience! Foods were really tasty, the waiters were friendly and helpful. Perfect service. Nothing to complain for my first time at Simonis. It is worth your money!

Simonis always has great seafood across their establishments. Chefs here definitely know how to make seafood tasty. As an example the gambas in garlic oil is NOT the typical Spanish style but a very tasty one with a bun included for the sauce. 🤤

The food was awesome. The people who work there are courteously a service worker.

Best fish at the harbor, good location in S.

It's a good restaurant with high-quality food. These days we have to choose restaurants where the food is good and avoid those that offer processed food because the preservatives are chemicals… That's why we ate at this restaurant; the food was excellent. Thank you…

Very good food, a bit crowded but we got our own table

Super delicious food and good service. The atmosphere is good and looks chic. I've been there for the second time now and still really like it. I surprised my boyfriend with the restaurant and he was very satisfied too!

Always a nice atmosphere, friendly staff, and great food!

We booked it for our anniversary because of a tip. We had the vig salad, ceviche, Dorade and salmon sushi roll. Vig salad was great. Ceviche not very special. Dorade delicious and sushi also great. Sushi was discounted for 12,5 euro. We had a lovely lady waiter but some people working there looked like they could kill someone. Doesnt hurt to smile sometimes and have people feel welcomed.

Beautiful seafood restaurant with excellent service and amazing quality food. Atmospheric decor, indoor and outdoor seating, and a lovely view of the harbor. Prices are high, though. Main courses from €35, starters from €20, sushi rolls from €25, and desserts from €15. But definitely worth a visit!

We usually enjoy going there. The food was delicious as always. However, we weren't satisfied with the staff today. They were inattentive! It felt like we were bothering them! What a shame ☹️

Salmon sandwich was with the cheapest toast bread from the supermarket and half-riped avocado. Fish soup was ok, but like ok enough, nothing special.

Had a delicious meal! Great experience

We enjoyed our visit to Catch by Simonis. The food was excellent, the service was great, and the harbour scenery made the meal even more memorable.

I have been coming here for years with great pleasure, but unfortunately the acoustics are still very poor, so we no longer come here with more than 4 people. Food and service are very nice.

We visited on June 23, 2026. It's a good restaurant with delicious food, though not always healthy. The prices are quite reasonable for a restaurant of this caliber for the Netherlands. This chain has another restaurant in the area, a different category, and more affordable.

We went to Catch by Simonis with friends on a Saturday evening and had a truly perfect time. Upon arrival, we received a warm welcome and were shown to a beautiful table overlooking the marina and the water – a truly magical atmosphere, especially in the evening. The service was first-class: Our waiter was exceptionally friendly, attentive, and courteous without being intrusive. We felt welcome and perfectly at ease from the very first moment. The food was simply outstanding. The bouillabaisse, in particular, was an absolute highlight – fantastic in flavor and perfectly prepared. But all the other dishes at our table were also excellent. The wine recommendation was superb and complemented the menu perfectly. We thoroughly enjoyed the evening from beginning to end. The combination of excellent food, outstanding service, great ambiance, and the stunning view of the harbor makes this restaurant truly special. We wholeheartedly recommend Catch by Simonis and are already looking forward to our next visit. Thank you for an unforgettable evening!

The service was fine, but not particularly attentive. It often took a long time for empty glasses to be cleared and for us to be asked if we wanted another drink. The soles were very dry and therefore disappointing. Additionally, I find the price-quality ratio unbalanced; you are mainly paying for the name. Unfortunately, in my opinion, Catch by Simonis is no longer as good as it used to be.

Great restaurant with delicious food. Excellent service and pleasant staff. The only downside was the music; for my taste, it was a bit too busy and too loud for dinner. But that is personal; others didn't seem to mind.

Missed the clothing, food top-notch. Service also top-notch.

We had a delicious meal, really enjoyed it!! And we had truly super service. We really didn't have to think about anything ourselves, everything was done for us!

Beautiful place nestled in the harbor, Very well-kept, exceptional quality, fair price.

Once again, a fantastic meal, top-notch service, beautiful view.

Still remains a bit of a ballet place... potato in the throat, seeing and being seen Apart from that: the food is just good :)

Trendy restaurant. Top-quality seafood dishes. Friendly service. More than worth a detour. Today, June 16, 2026, we celebrated our 54th wedding anniversary together with a lovely lunch at Catch. Everything was perfect once again, with the added bonus of a solid 10 for Eric, who served us perfectly.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An outstanding dining experience from start to finish. During my visit to The Hague, I had the pleasure of dining at Catch by Simonis, and I was genuinely impressed. The restaurant offers a wonderful atmosphere, beautiful surroundings, and a very welcoming environment. The quality and freshness of the food were excellent, and every detail seemed carefully considered. What stood out most, however, was the professionalism and friendliness of the staff. The service was attentive, efficient, and delivered with genuine hospitality, making us feel welcome throughout our visit. The restaurant combines high standards, excellent seafood, and a great dining experience in a way that is both elegant and comfortable. It is clear that a great deal of effort goes into maintaining such a high level of quality and service. I would highly recommend Catch by Simonis to anyone visiting The Hague and looking for an exceptional dining experience. Thank you to the entire team for making our visit so enjoyable.

Catch by Simonis is a top sushi option in The Hague. The restaurant is very nice, the atmosphere great and the food delicious. Sushi is just top quality. Fully recommended and will come back.

Everything was great, amazing food and staff is very friendly. Highly recommended

Amazing We had a beautiful lunch for my wife birthday Everything super tasty, squid, carpaccio, tuna, sushi Desserts were not from this earth

We had such an amazing time at Catch by Simonis - champagne, oysters, catch of the day - delicious. We will come back. Thank you for the great experience

A real outing and delicious sushi

Had delicious, buttery-soft fish; the food is top-notch. The service was also attentive and friendly. Perhaps a tad on the expensive side for what is offered, and a simple bottle of mineral water is obviously not worth 9 euros. The acoustics are terrible, making it a noisy henhouse; the location is nice for groups but less suitable for an intimate romantic dinner. It also seemed as if the bass knob in the background music was turned up a bit too high, causing it to overpower the music, but that is a minor and perhaps personal issue.

The grilled fish dishes, along with the bread and butter served alongside, are delicious.

Wonderfully relaxing and delicious lunch with good music.

Amazing Service and even more amazing food coming back the next time Im in the Hague for sure Fresh Seafood

I keep going back to this place. The seafood is always good and fresh. Absolutely recommended.

Excellent. Noisy: sometimes difficult to have a comfortable conversation

Once again, super food. Super service. In short, delicious.

The best fish restaurant in the Netherlands Super delicious

A wonderful experience. The food has an incredible presentation. An unexpected and delicious mix of flavors. Plus, the atmosphere is super cozy, modern, and beautiful. We went on a Wednesday night when the sushi is half price. Totally worth it.

Delicious food and great atmosphere! Shoutout to the hospitality warrior who works here cheerfully; you know who you are.

We dined here yesterday for a birthday and enjoyed the food and the service. Beautiful location at the harbor in Scheveningen with a lovely view over the water. We started with carpaccio and prawns in garlic oil: everything was fresh and flavorful. After that, we ordered a sushi roll as an intermediate course, which was fortunately still available and arrived quickly. For the main course, we had the tuna, beautifully prepared with a special salad on the side. The wine list is also extensive and good. Compliments to the staff, especially Puck: friendly, attentive, and professional. Points for improvement: We had indicated during the reservation that we were celebrating a birthday. Because we did not order dessert, it unfortunately turned out not to be possible to do something about that at another time. Understandable perhaps, but still a bit of a shame. Upstairs, you sit very close together and can hear other conversations clearly. The lady next to us was served lobster that was opened with tongs; that didn't go quite right, causing all sorts of things to fly our way. Of course, she can't help that, but due to the limited space, it still felt a bit unpleasant. Additionally, the ambiance sometimes feels a bit off-balance with the prices: cloth napkins but simple wooden chopsticks for 6 pieces of sushi costing €30. Otherwise, we had a lovely evening. Highly recommended for lovers of fresh fish! We will definitely be back.

Delicious fish. Nice restaurant and good service.

These were the tastiest oysters I have ever eaten (chef's oysters). As for the sushi: the presentation was top-notch, as was the garnish. But for the prices charged for sushi, I really expect fresh sushi rice that is served (as it should be) at 37 degrees. This rice had been prepared earlier and was really ice-cold because it had been in the fridge, which is a shame, also for the taste. I enjoyed eating here once, but due to the disappointing sushi, I will only return for oysters at most.

The sole was simply amazing. The service and the restaurant’s atmosphere also made our dinner even more enjoyable.

Delicious. Sushi is amazing and tastes even better on Wednesday evening sushi night. Beautiful place, quick service. One of my favorites.

One of the better restaurants. Cozy and friendly service. There are top chefs in the kitchen. Had a delicious meal in a cozy atmosphere. Top location 👍🏻

Outstanding location Outstanding quality of food Outstanding quality of service In a nutshell, fine dining at it‘s best. I am coming back since the opening of Catch by Simonis in 2013 and the experience was always excellent and unforgettable.Thanks to the entire team for 2 wonderful evenings on the 30.04.26 and the 02.05.26. Looking forward to our next visit. Best Martin

I had a wonderful dinner with my family this evening. The staff were very friendly, and the food was fantastically delicious. We also took a family photo, and I was so touched by how well the staff took it! I highly recommend it~
