The Binnenhof in The Hague is the political heart of the Netherlands and the oldest parliament building complex in the world still in use (Credit: Wikipedia).

Our next mission was to grab a quick (and very late) supper. Barlow — a bar and restaurant just steps from the attractions we’d seen, seemed like the perfect place to have dinner. Instead, it turned into a bit of a nightmare.
After being shown to a table in the farthest corner of the dining area, we were effectively stuck “no man’s land”. We kept waving our hands to get someone’s attention, but after more than half an hour, not a single server came over to take our orders. I’m sure at least a few of them saw us waving so that was hard to swallow.
And it was Saturday, which meant that at this late hour, it didn’t seem like any other restaurants nearby were open. So we just kept trying and trying...
I didn't know whether we were still furious or what, but it has obviously affected our mood to eat so consequentally, we found the dishes to be underwhelming to say the least.
Pumpkin soup
Tuna salad — The tuna just looked awful.
Fettuccini with chicken and tomato
Prawns
This meal certainly didn’t go down as one of the highlights of our trip. I’ll leave it at that.
