Santos in Wijk 07 Scheveningen

Every time a delicious meal after the musical, tender meat and spicy side dishes. Super friendly staff who like to please the customer.

-Sparibs very bad, extremely tough meat. A lot of fat on the meat & most of it did not fall off. With cutting and a lot of force it went reasonably well. -Beef tenderloin requested well done due to pregnancy (clearly mentioned to the older man) & the meat was only well done for 1 part and the other part medium. For me no 2nd time here! Very unfortunate. Staff was friendly. And then for the price you pay, you expect quality.

Fantastic and proper Argentinian steakhouse! Great food for the value of their prices! Warm environment, and great service! Highly recommended and will definitely go back! Thanks

The steaks weren't what we expected. The service was inattentive and arrogant.

Mega delicious lomo eaten with garlic fries. Arrived on a Monday evening at 10 pm with 4 people, was no problem.

Hervorragende Steaks und leckere Beilagen machen den Besuch zum Genuss. Desserts sind eher durchwachsen, dafür überzeugt die Qualität des Fleisches.

Santos – A Steakhouse Full of Surprises Tucked away in Scheveningen, Santos is a place where steak dreams come true – and where service might just test your patience. Let’s break it down. On the bright side: the Rump steak and Entrecôte were absolutely outstanding – beautifully cooked, tender, and exactly as ordered. The salad, corn on the cob, and papitas fritas were equally impressive. Full marks to the kitchen where the meat is clearly in good hands. Unfortunately, the same can’t be said for the front of house. The service ranged wildly depending on who happened to be at your table. One seasoned staff member held things together like a pro – calm, efficient, in control. The others? A mix of forgetful, flustered, and faintly invisible. Drinks appeared only after repeated reminders, and the Rib Eye steak arrived not at all as ordered – and sadly, even the follow-up attempt didn’t hit the mark. Desserts brought a bittersweet ending. The Tiramisu had great flavor but arrived looking like it had lost a fight with gravity – more liquid than layered. The Cheesecake was perfectly decent, but unremarkable. And then came the warm apple strudel – which, quite memorably, was still frozen inside. It was sent back for a second chance, only to return partially warm and now missing the two scoops of vanilla ice cream that had accompanied it (untouched, for the record). We gently requested it be removed from the bill – and to be fair, it was. One more thing: the place looks nice – stylish, inviting – but it was freezing inside. Bring a jacket. Or better yet, come in summer. In summary: Santos serves steaks that are genuinely worth the trip. Just hope you land a good waiter, skip dessert unless you’re feeling adventurous, and consider thermal layers part of the dress code.

Nice service Delicious 300 gram sirloin steak And for my daughter a delicious piece of salmon Both a baked potato. Just a pity that there were no vegetables.

Delicious food, friendly and fast service, lovely in the sun on the terrace. Approach!

Delicious food and excellent service!!

Na bepaalde negatieve recensies was ik een beetje huiverig, maar het eten en de bediening in 1 woord fantastisch! Echt genoten!!

Great ambiance, delicious food and very good service.

Sent this email, never received a response: I just returned from a visit to your restaurant. And to my great surprise I saw something that I don't think is expected of you. By this I mean that it is known that you serve good food, but the service is poor. I had to get up several times to order something to drink, and I also had to get up to ask where the drinks were. Furthermore, I saw very little of the service, when I shouted or waved they did not respond. I also left a message with my reservation that was not taken into account, why is there an option to leave a message? I understand that there is a staff shortage everywhere, but please adjust your reservations accordingly. So don't overcrowd your business if you can't deliver the quality. You've been around for so long, isn't it a shame to undermine your good name like this? I hope you can handle constructive criticism. I therefore expect feedback. Otherwise I will have to leave a bad review. I'll keep my mouth shut about the price for now.

El viejo Santos nunca decepciona. Este es uno de nuestros restaurantes favoritos en Scheveningen. Si te gusta un buen filete, este es el lugar para ti. Gran servicio, excelente comida. ¡Los postres son increíbles!

Had to wait a long time for the drink. After 25 minutes I asked where it was. They forgot about us.

Actually, I just had a couple of drinks, and I can tell that the gin&tonic was pretty good (15€ each drinks). My friends thought they were very happy with meats and antipasti. I will give it a try next time.

The steaks were ok but nothing more. Given the ambience that the restaurant exudes, you simply expect more class. Nevertheless, I left the store full, an experience.

The food was good, but very little for the price. Small piece of meat with only a leaf of arugula on a plate. The side dishes (except for corn on the cob) are all a variation on potato, so there is little choice. No drinks menu, although there is a bar full of various drinks. One of the waiters was downright rude, and it took a long time for anything to be served. Even a simple bread platter beforehand took >30 minutes. In short: not recommended as far as I'm concerned!

The employees hardly speak English and don't care about customers. Very expensive for the service and quality.

I had a lovely lunch there today. Food is delicious and the service really good. The empanada is amazing! Everything we ordered was perfect!

The good experience of a few years ago was not repeated. Normal food, no effort at presentation. The service, the minimum. The music is good and it is comfortable with dim lighting. But disappointed, we expected another quality.

The food was excellent, we would love to come back :)

The food was great but it is terribly cold inside. It's a shame that the menus are dropped on the table. After the main course was finished and the plates were removed, we waited a while until someone came for the dessert menu and something to drink. When no one came, we paid and went home. Personally, I would go a step further.

really good Picanha 300g 28 Sirloin lomo 200g 25€ Beer half liter 8€

Argentine restaurant in The Hague

Something went wrong with the reservation, but it was resolved quickly and without any hassle. The steak was amazing, as was the wine. We will also make the garlic fries ourselves. Pleasant crowds and atmosphere at a round table by the gas fireplace. Definitely for again!

Just bad. It was very cold in the restaurant. The appearance and ambiance is good. While we were waiting for the fourth starter, the main course was already delivered. They forgot the fourth entree. I opted for the 500 gram thinner sliced ​​sirloin steak. With an Argentinian you expect well-cooked, tender piece of meat. This was so terribly tough that it was impossible to get through. Terrible. Full of sins! I left a large piece because it was really impossible to do. For dessert I opted for a double espresso...how difficult can it be. This had nothing to do with espresso but looked and tasted like THE filter red. That is not necessarily a bad thing, but it is not espresso. Waste of money.

When I saw the reviews I had my doubts... but who would eat fish in a meat restaurant 🫣. We really came here for the meat and it was really tasty. Really worth repeating. As far as the service is concerned, the reviews are correct. The woman who served us was not very friendly.

The service was really bad, they bring the main dish before we finished the first course. food was not warm and we needed to get up 2 times to ask for more drinks and the dessert. I would not go back here and won’t recommend it. I had bigger expectations +100€ not worth it

Shame. The sausages for the dish were so fatty that my intestinal flora is still recovering. They were ready very quickly and yes, that should have been a warning. The tenderloin was delicious, therefore 2 stars. The dish was not warm. The meat was not warm. Spare ribs against burnt asn. Because the service was downright WORTHLESS. 1.5 hours with 2 drinks. Waited 20 minutes for the dessert menu, after asking for it a second time. The seating area was bad, the icy outside wind was constant and the double glazing also let the cold through. In short, you are hungry, use your common sense and go one door further.

Good restaurant, had dinner here at Christmas. Nice atmosphere and delicious food! The starters are a bit on the pricey side

Very nice restaurant. The food was delicious and the service was good too. The atmosphere was very pleasant.

Completely unfriendly service. I have no idea what the food is like.

Service was a bit rushed as it was a holiday, otherwise one of the most authentic argentinian bbqs I've been to.

Delicious food here, nice atmosphere. The meat (T bone steak) 400gr was really bizarrely tasty, so tender and so well cooked. The rest was very tasty and will definitely come back here

Good portions and wide choice of meat. Well cooked on the grill.

Fantastic food and a really nice atmosphere always

It was good, the meat very good and cooked as requested. But expensive for what it is. 89€ for 2 dishes and 4 glasses of wine... There aren't even any vegetables with the meat, just the side of fries or potatoes of your choice.

A perfect adventurous trip! The finest delicacies for fair prices. Professional service, And very cozy atmosphere. Unfortunately there was a small problem... The knife ', Unfortunately the knife was blunt and I was afraid of damaging the good piece of 500g rump steak. An adventure with every cut, A fight for life and death. After completion, it was still a very nice evening. Come back and I'm hopeful that the knife will be sharp.

There was relatively a lot of fat between the spare ribs. Spare ribs were black in some places. And the meat did not come off the ribs easily. I expected more for this price.

The food was just really good, unfortunately everything only came at the same time, starter and main course. And also super fast, so we were actually done in no time.

Tenderloin gebraten so wie gewünscht. Sehr gute Fleischqualität. Beim zweiten Besuch war das Restaurant voll und das Fleisch nicht wie gewünscht. Das Entgegenkommen vom Restaurant großzügig und fair. Vielen Dank.

The food was very tasty, but the restaurant was very cold.

We arrived around 8:30 p.m. and immediately there was a table, and it took a while to serve us but because there were a lot of people. Otherwise everything was very good

Very tasty food, rump steak and beef fillet cooked to perfection. We also got a cola beer straight away. We'll be back because everything was right.

Highly recommended if you are staying in Scheveningen, delicious food, friendly staff and nice atmosphere. We chose the Bife a la Criolla and the Bife con Champinones, with the tomato ensalada, papa asada and fries. And yes, delicious Jupiler with dinner.

One of the best meat dishes I have ever eaten.

For me, food is the main reason for me to come here. The staff is nice.

The meat was great and the service good. I don't like the atmosphere.

Great, very tasty 😋! The Bife de Lomo in 200g and 300g sizes was perfect and the cooking point was good. The sauces and the papa asada were also delicious! All in all top and highly recommended! P.s. In Holland, medium = medium rare! But if you tell the waiter medium + then you get the point medium.! This has worked perfectly for us several times!

Great beef tenderloin and live singing in Argentina

The food is great as always!! The meat is prepared for you to perfection!! Made 1200 grams of loot and every piece was perfect! We keep coming back!!

The steak was good, but spareribs couldn't get through as tough and dry. I had a completely different experience than 2 years ago.

Very good restaurant. Service very good.👍🏼

Neat old-fashioned and gallant service, as it should be! Here, waiters are waiters who know their trade! Clean, nice place, even the toilets. The plate of lettuce was a very small portion this time, but I will happily keep coming back here!

Great restaurant. Steak was PERFECT! Fried!

Due to lack of guests, potatoes old. Meat not fresh. Complained, unfortunately no response.

I had lamb chops that were way too dry and well done, unedible! You pay a lot for a bare plate with meat and a lettuce leaf on it. Waste of money!

Had such a delicious meal at Santos. Friendly staff and nice atmosphere. Recommended.

For a perfect argentinian steak go there . Fantastic food, nice place close to the beach

We were a little cramped. Improvised with an extra chair. Time and time again, service did not go well with the drinks because the clerk did not speak English and spoke poor Dutch. I had the lamb chops for 26 euros and got 4 measly pieces of half lamb chops. Waste of my money. Atmosphere was not very pleasant. No music (at least not audible). No success for me.

Food was very good! The low rating for the service. The waiter ignored us as we waited to order from the menu for a long time even tho there were only a few guests. Over all he didn’t seem to be interested to take our order and we waited a long time. For this kind of restaurant I expected a better service and more friendliness.

Price-quality ratio excellent. Service too. Steaks were well prepared. Not everyone speaks Dutch, but English can go a long way.

While on a business trip, we search for a nice place near the beach to have a good steak. Recommendations guide us to this place. This is an Argentinian style restaurant. So for first dish, we chose the beef empanadas. How can’t we? They were amazing. Main dish, rib eye steak and a rump steak which were good. Then espresso. All in all we enjoyed it very much and most likely we will return. Service was good. Fast and kind.

Friendly staff. Food is really fantastic!!!! Meat super tender. Highly recommended!

Just wanted to share some love for this spot we planned to hit up for dinner. Had the rib-eye, medium rare, and they nailed it—big thumbs up! The sides? Totally delicious. The creamy mushroom sauce, corn on the cob, and yep, I even snagged some fries off my wife's plate. We washed it down with some Malbec wine, which was just perfect. Ended the meal with a caramel cake and a coffee—couldn't have asked for a better finish. The restaurant's in a great spot, super convenient and has a nice, cozy vibe. Seriously, a top-notch dinner experience. Highly recommend!

Bij lange na niet meer wat het geweest is. Vreselijke bediening en het eten was niet best. Prijs kwaliteitvethouding is er niet. Je betaald je scheel voor alleen een broodje hamburgen en alleen een spareribje. Zit totaal niks bij, alles wat je erbij wil moet flink voor betaald worden. Normaal heb je een bakje groente en wat gebakken aardappeltjes of friet, maar helemaal niks!!!. Een broodje hamburg op een pitabroodje. We zijn hier vaker geweest en toen had je een flinke gebakken bol brood met een mega hamburger met lekker saus en lekkere gesmolten kaas er over. Nu een kleine hamburgertje op een pitabroodje met een klein beetje saus en dat voor dezelfde prijs. Diep triest!!. Sparerib was erg weinig, flauw en moeilijk van het bot te krijgen, ook dit geen aanrader. Een heel klein beetje eten voor een megaprijs. Wij gaan nooit meer!!.

My husband (Argentine) and I have been delighted with the quality of the meat, the excellent service and the good wine! 💪

Reasonable restaurant. I expected more from it myself. There is no menu to choose your drinks from, so you don't know what a soft drink or beer costs. The meal menu is okay. I had baked potatoes with sour cream, but the cream was not sour but had little taste, slightly sweet. That was a pity

Best meat in Scheveningen Service is very good and fast

Fantastic steak, rubbish service. We waited over half an hour and had to ask to even get a drinks menu.

Starter was of slightly lower quality than expected. We had the carpaccio and the prawns. Main course the tenderloin. Omg that was so tasty and good. Pepper sauce and mushroom sauce. And also the Provencal fries. Yummm

Directly next to the spa. Super nice and delicious food. Enjoyed with a capital H.

Food was good (a lot). The picanha was ordered medium but arrived well done. Service was mediocre. There was no check-in, had to ask for everything.

Too bad you have to speak English and then Dutch again...

Great atmosphere, life music and good service. Delicious Argentinian steak. Plenty of choice of different steaks. Add a good glass of wine and the evening can't go wrong. Highly recommended. Top

We started well, then it got a bit busier. Lots of garlic everywhere haha.

Today I tried to go out for a nice meal with my wife. Santos was an old acquaintance and we had good experiences with him. So we prepared ourselves for a delicious and pleasant evening of dining out. Unfortunately, it all turned out to be something different than expected. I had carpaccio beforehand. This cost, yes, don't be alarmed, more than 17 euros. Floated in the olive oil and was therefore simply impossible. Fortunately there was no problem and I got a new one. What I missed was some truffle mayonnaise or pesto on top. Pine nuts were also missing. So for me, a big fail for the carpaccio. My wife had empanadas and they were fine. Main course was a tournedos of 300 grams for 34 euros without anything. Sauces, fries and salads had to be ordered separately, which brought this dish to just under 45 euros. Well then you can expect something, right? Well the tournedos was fine, I can't say anything else about it. But the extras were so so. No, the dish was not worth the money. I've had better for 15 euros less for the same dish. On the other hand, my wife had a loin steak with fries and sauce for 27 euros and it was fine. Well, and then dessert. You can't go wrong with coffee and a liqueur, so that was fine. In short, 143 euros poorer and not the best experience richer. This was the last time for us. Way too expensive for the quality you get. My position is that if I eat out, it must be something special. Then I have to be able to enjoy it and the quality has to be better than at home. And it certainly wasn't tonight. Especially considering the absurd amount we had to pay. I expected it much better. So for us Santos has become a no go.

Delicious food! We had only been assigned a less good spot on the corner near the door and in the walkway. Fortunately, after the starter we were allowed to move to a table by the window. We also always had to wait a long time for everything. The only downside I can think of is the toilet. Toilet paper on the floor and dirty seats. This somewhat detracts from the rest of our experience at this lovely restaurant. In any case, we will definitely come back for a delicious piece of meat!

Mega delicious steakhouse 😎The steak was very delicious and the fries with parmesan were a dream, the wine runs and you have problems driving home lol

The food is worth the price! Fries with parmesan were to die for. The steak was prepared exactly as ordered by the waiter. It's a bit more expensive, but in contrast to the beach resorts, the service and performance here are good! Definitely coming back.

Personally, I would like to compliment the employees and the manager on Saturday evening, February 10, I think the kitchen can improve a bit.

Really delicious food, we had the pihca skewer with baked potato and cheesecake. Fast operation. In short, we will be back!

Weekend away in Scheveningen and had a delicious meal here Very friendly staff, food was tasty White sweet wine was delicious!

The food is ok (although nothing special), the service is minimal- they don’t even talk to you really. It is a big restaurant in a popular spot so pretty much what you would expect.

I would like a friendlier welcome. No greeting upon entering and you have to get to your seat quickly. Food is fine, just very little. Not value for money. You're very cramped. Where I was sitting, the waiter kept bumping into me. People next to you hear everything you say. At McDonald's you have more privacy, but the food is worse there...

Delicious food in a cozy restaurant!

These five stars go to Dylan, for happily and professionally serving a group of 28 teens. Great Job, Dylan, Thank you. The dining experience though was weird. The steaks arrived to soon, before the starters. This was fixed, apparently, by returning the steaks to the grill and serving the sides. When my medium arrived, it was over cooked. The waiter noticed my disappointment and acted immediately. I ended up eating alone 😔 The kids were happy, they enjoyed the food. The meat quality was very good. The sides were also good. 1700 euros fed 28 people .

The quality of the beef is great, of course it's Argentinian! They also cook it perfectly. The choice of side dishes is nice. In the green pepper sauce they should break the peppercorns. I find the price very reasonable in the current inflation period

Argentinian cuisine has always been one of my favorites. Santos also met my expectations with a delicious piece of meat. Meat, salad and yes, also fries. Unfortunately, the desserts were a bit less tasty, but there is still room for improvement.

Tasty food but a bit on the pricey side...

Pleasant evening with friends. Nice meal.

Delicious steak and the fries are also very tasty.

Was erg koud, daar waar we zaten. Hierdoor werd het eten vrij snel koud, beetje jammer.

Sehr schönes Ambiete, nette und schnelle Bedienung und das Essen war köstlich! Wir kommen gerne wieder. :)

Op aanraden van vrienden waren we hier (gezin van vier) al een keer eerder geweest. Dat was in het voorjaar en het was lekker weer en we hebben toen buiten gegeten. We zaten ergens op een hoek van het (grote) terras en we voelden ons toen een beetje vergeten. Omdat onze vrienden nog steeds enthousiast zijn, toch maar een keer terug gegaan. Nu uiteraard binnen, want januari. En nu zelfs een nog mindere ervaring. Eerst drankjes besteld (een rode wijn, een witte wijn en twee ice tea) met een broodje met aioli. Rode wijn was er binnen twee minuten, het broodje twee minuten daarna, de rest van de drankjes 7 minuten later. Heel vreemd. Vervolgens werd de bestelling opgenomen. Toen de drankjes op waren, werd dat niet opgemerkt door de bediening. Uiteindelijk maar gewenkt. Tweede rondje drankjes ging volgens hetzelfde ritueel (waarbij het deze keer ook nog eens opviel, dat de witte wijn veel minder was dan de rode). Hoe moeilijk kan het zijn om 4 personen tegelijkertijd een drankje te brengen? Voorgerecht kwam een uur en tien minuten nadat we aan tafel waren gegaan. Dat is echt te lang. Zeker als je zaak maar half vol zit. Met het voorgerecht gebeurde iets soortgelijks als met de drankjes. Drie gerechten kwamen tegelijkertijd, het vierde gerecht duurde wederom zo'n 7 minuten. De carpaccio was heel middelmatig, de chorizo marginaal beter. Na het voorgerecht kwam er een derde rondje drankjes.....en je raadt het al. Hoe dan? Vervolgens de hoofdgerechten. De zaak was toen al bijna leeg, dus het wachten daarop duurde niet te lang. Hier kwam alles redelijk tegelijkertijd, behalve de extra bestelde side-dish. De hoofdgerechten waren verder ok (lamskotelletjes, gamba's, ravioli en hamburger), maar zeker niet uitzonderlijk. Als je alles bij elkaar optelt is het, volgens onze ervaringen, niet meer dan een Argentijnse schnitzeltent, die veel te veel geld vraagt en niet weet hoe je met gasten omgaat. Er zijn in Den Haag heel wat restaurants waar je voor dit geld (of minder) veel beter wordt ontvangen en veel beter eet.

Eerste kerstdag daar geweest, het leek wel een vreetschuur i.p.v. een restaurant en lang wachten op je drank en eten, jammer Santos.

Spare ribs were appalling and the steaks even worse. This is a restaurant charging for 10 out of 10 while they serve food for 3 out of 10.

Sehr gutes Steak Lokal! Die Bedienung war kompetent und sehr freundlich. Das Essen war bei allen von uns sehr gut. Ich werde dort wieder hingehen, wenn ich wieder in der Stadt bin.

Not recommended at all - low quality meat with a bad service. Despite the restaurant not being crowded and having arrived with a reservation, it took 45 minutes to have food on the table. The waiter wasn’t around to be seen. Meat had fridge smell and occasionally not chewable. Clearly the restaurant capitalises on the (touristic and high traffic) location, and does not dare the rest
