Restaurant in Scheveningen

365 days of enjoying the North Sea

Welcome to Blue Lagoon, Scheveningen's premier beach pavilion where you can enjoy breakfast, lunch, dinner or drinks with your feet in the sand and a view of the North Sea, 365 days a year. Established in 1985 on Strand Noord, we reopened after a thorough renovation in 2019 with a refreshed interior, an extensive menu, and the same hospitality that has set us apart for over 40 years.

Why Blue Lagoon

We are located directly on the beach at Strand Noord 25-27, not on the promenade with parking right outside. In good weather, you can dine on the terrace with the sea literally on your doorstep, and in bad weather, in the glass conservatory with the same view. The kitchen is open all day from 9:00 AM to 12:00 AM (Sundays from 8:00 AM), so you don't have to rush to get a table at lunchtime or dinnertime.

The menu ranges from freshly baked croissants and pancakes in the morning to tomahawk steaks, lobster, oysters and sushi in the evening, with an elaborate vegetarian selection and a children's menu. The cocktail bar offers both classics and its own creations, and the wine list complements the cuisine. Both reservations and walk-ins are welcome, though we recommend booking a table in advance during peak season and on weekends.

The pavilion, atmosphere and setting

Blue Lagoon started in the summer of 1985 as a simple beach pavilion and has since grown into a fully-fledged restaurant with a lounge bar, terrace, and event space. On 19 April 2018, the pavilion went up in flames. We reopened the next day at a temporary location and immediately pushed ahead with the reconstruction. On 1 March 2019, we reopened our doors in the same spot, with a new, lighter interior and more extensive facilities than before the fire.

What remains: the relaxed atmosphere, the sea view, and the feeling that you don't need to rush. What has changed: a larger hall, a better kitchen, a more extensive menu, and more space on the terrace. on a weekday afternoon, you can sit here peacefully with a laptop and coffee; on a summer evening, the pavilion joins a continuous beach vibe with cocktails and music until the early hours.
