Over ons

Waarom de naam “LaSalle”? Voor een Fransman betekent het niets meer dan “de zaal”, een plaats van ontmoeting. Voor mij en mijn familie is Lasalle de naam van het dorp in de Franse Cévennen waar we elk jaar welkom waren voor een paar weken vakantie bij opa Charles en oma Geneviève. De hele dag vissen, zwemmen en zwerven; heerlijk! Deze jeugdherinneringen zullen voor altijd blijven, al is het huis inmiddels niet meer in de familie.

Vanaf de tijd dat ik als 18-jarige in de horeca begon, heb ik altijd de wens gehad om een eigen restaurant te beginnen. Ik ben daarom regelmatig van woonplaats en werkgever gewisseld om me breed te kunnen ontwikkelen. Als ondernemer moet je namelijk wel van alle markten thuis zijn. Veel vaardigheden heb ik op de hotelschool in Middelburg, maar meer nog in prachtige bedrijven mogen ontwikkelen.

In 2008 maakte ik als docent koken een uitstapje naar het Vmbo-onderwijs en werd daar ook decaan. Naast het behalen van mijn lesbevoegdheid voor het vak economie heb ik in deze periode veel geleerd over het coachen van jonge mensen, het stimuleren van hun talenten en het opbouwen van een goed netwerk. Ook nu, tien jaar later als restaurateur, zet ik me onverminderd in voor mijn team, zodat ze hun vleugels kunnen uitslaan.

Voor het restaurant ben ik dicht bij mezelf gebleven: koken “op zijn Frans”, zonder fratsen. De keuze om daarvoor zoveel mogelijk Nederlandse producten te gebruiken is voor mij een logische; het onnodig slepen met verse waren over de aarde terwijl we in eigen land fantastische groenten, fruit, vlees en vis hebben belast de planeet enorm. Respect voor mens, dier en planeet is een kernwaarde in ons restaurant.

We hopen u binnenkort te mogen verwelkomen in onze zaak. A bientôt!

Grew up around the corner of the village Lasalle, Southern France, and can tell you this place is as authentic as it... gets! From the typical carafe water with baguette, delicious seasonal menus, right down to recognising the buildings in the village photos on the wall - very spot on!read more

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal at Lasalle. It is a lovely restaurant. The food is hearty, obviously prepared freshly... with the greatest care and attention and the wine is excellent.We enjoyed 3 courses including delicious French cheeses.The owner is friendly and welcoming and the staff charming. The restaurant is cosy, we enjoyed the music and the atmosphere was really conducive to a relaxing evening. It is also excellent value for money.We wouldn’t hesitate to return.This restaurant deserves success and is a much-needed addition to the offerings in the city centre.Thank you!read more

This is an excellent review for an lovely excellent small Restaurant in the heart of den Haag (the Hague) where you are... being offered good value for your money.Because very good food of an excellent French cuisine with chosen wine that goes well with the nice food is being offered and served for a reasonable price.İ experienced immediately that the Chef makes the food with love and passion and is very skilled and intuitive...The staff looked well chosen considering the nice friendly ambience...Having taken a seat in a cozy corner i was not surprised facing soon a friendly nice waitress ready to note the order...What surpassed my expectations by far was surely how this chef and personal takes the customer serious with extensive hospitality from the moment of entering this cozy small Restaurant until also leaving the place. After every visit i left this restaurant satisfied later...Remarkable is also that this place is always being kept clean.Whenever you want to enjoy spending a good warm evening (see opening times) consider trying out this pearl of a Restaurant as i was lucky to experience ?Especially during summer time and during warm days it is such a wonderful choice.And the customer has also the option to enjoy their food in a beautifully decorated terrace located at the back side.read more

Excellent service at a superb price! The customer service was amazing. My wife has a life threatening food allergy and... the chef went above and beyond to ensure she felt safe and welcomed! We had a three course meal with wine pairings that were prepared splendidly! Couldn't recommend this place more! Would definitely come back next time we are in The Hague.read more

Food is above average and with a nice price tag. The only downside is the admisphere which is so so. Also staff is to... engaged with asking every 5 minutes if everything is well. Maybe this has to do with not to many tables are booked.read more

Great and friendly service, fantastic food and amazing wine. Only the espresso could be better. But a three course menu... for 25€ with that great quality is something, you shouldn’t miss.read more

Wonderful French restaurant in the heart of The Hague. Nothing better than dining on the terrace late into the evening.

Yesterday I had the pleasure to dine in LaSalle. What a lovely hidden gem tucked away in Nieuwstraat right here in Den... Haag! When I walked through the entree I immediately saw two of my favorite things; a planted vertical wall and beautiful desiged wallpaper with flowers. It gives the restaurant that lovely welcome and relaxing feeling. They even have a small back garden, but it is a little too early in the year to enjoy outside dining. But then again we came for the food 🙂 and we were not disappointed! I loved the aperitif which we got to choose from a map of france, and the starter of my choice was was a soft and delicate rillette of mackerel accompanied by fresh french bread (my weakness..). The main course, a ratatouille was so good! They had a good selection of cheeses which I sadly had to pass but the men shared a platter and they were both extremely pleased with the choices of the cheese. We had a wonderful evening here so thank you Lasalle! #lasalledenhaag #denhaag #thehague #diningout #restaurant #restaurantsindenhaag #frenchdining #frenchcuisine #fransekeuken #aperitif #hiddengem #verborgenschatindenhaag #nieuwindenhaag #intimatedining #romanticrestaurantread more

Lovely quiet restaurant in the city center with a small but delicious menu for a very reasonable price, lovely and... dedicated staff (French chef!) and a homely feeling.The cheese platter puts to shame any one I've had in Holland, it's the real deal!read more

Impressie

De trend om in een soort industriële ruimte horeca te bedrijven is alweer op zijn retour. De gast heeft ook wel door dat hij/zij uiteindelijk met een galm in het hoofd naar huis gaat. Een kleine ruimte met een intieme sfeer is toch veel gezelliger? We hebben tijdens en na de verbouwing al veel positieve reacties mogen ontvangen op de keuze van de aankleding van het restaurant en privéterras. De zaak is volgens velen licht, open en sfeervol geworden (Lisa, bedankt voor je advies!).

Op het rustige privéterras achter het terras kan bij lekker weer worden genoten van lunch en diner. Wanneer andere gasten daarvan geen hinder ondervinden mag daar ook gerookt worden. Het carillon zorgt af en toe voor prettige achtergrondgeluiden.
