Used to come here a lot. On a Saturday morning picked up a baguette that had a small area of not fully cooked dough, raspberry pastry was very cold on the inside, meant to me it was frozen. Foie gras was more than twice as expensive as where I get it next to statenkwartier and liked the texture and taste less. Overall very dissappointing for exorbitant prices.
Excellent French food in the heart of Den Haag. The quality of the food and service is truly like being in a Lyonnais bouchon.

We were in a hurry so couldnt sit down to dine in. So i got myself a baguette with foie gras. It was really tasty. Have to come back here to try out the other dishes/baguettes!

My wife and I had lunch here, and it was de-li-cious! I called upfront earlier in the week to make a reservation and to ask/discuss the Gluten allergy for my wife. They responded very positive to it and made sure to prepare everything. The food was outstanding, and François realy lights up the atmosphere with his positivity and kindness. If you want the best French cuisine in The Netherlands: go to Le Gone. Merci François!

Mon dieu! This place is wonderful. The boss obviously loves his work. We’ve been there twice on our vacation and going back again. Don’t overthink it, just go eat! Wait, did I mention the cheese plate, or the rabbit?
Had to go back a third time to sample the Calvados (smooth) and snap this pic of the boss and daughter. Our visit to The Hague was full of wonderful surprises thanks to this place!

I would best describe le Gone as "The editable embodiment of a beautiful French woman you fall helplessly in love with."
My experience with French cuisine have been through mentors and in Toulouse. Stepping in here is a warm friendly welcome that was great comfort away the Holland weather and the food take you to another country.
It is best to call ahead. I unfortunately did not but I took a sandwich, terrine, and a few other goodies.
With that, each bite had me come to a realization, that I didnt just take good food with me, I took a piece of a classic French heart that I could only enjoy for these loving moments.
On my journey home, I will have some longing for Traiteur le Gone. It's a beautiful unexpected gem I found in the Netherlands.
It is always very good regardless if you sit down to have a plat du jour or a baguette to take away. Quality is constant, staff very pleasant. Thumbs up. Makes sure you reserve a table.
One of my favorite restaurants in the world and certainly my number one choice in The Hague. The food is as gourmet as it gets and the service is always spot on. Eating at le gone is a gastronomical experience that’s hard to find outside of Lyon. Don’t go if you’re on a diet or if you’re looking for a quick hot dog and fries! And don’t feel guilty if you end up having a 3 hour lunch and polishing off a couple bottles of wine!

I have eaten at this restaurant before. Whereas I cannot fault the quality of the food at the time and my experience overall was decent, I'm absolutely appalled by the answer the owner gave to this other comment. Your customer service skills need fine turning! I know enough French to understand that she believes you made a mistake in the price, own it! (Google also translates comments). And yes the place is indeed small and yes she wasn't dining there, just buying products. Despite her experience she gave you 3 stars, get a grip.
