Fouquet by Meere

Fouquet by Meere is located at Javastraat 31a in Den Haag Centrum. Based on available information, the establishment primarily presents itself as a restaurant, lunchroom, and a venue for private dining. As such, its profile differs from that of a standalone coffee bar. However, coffee is part of the menu and included in several corporate packages. For coffee enthusiasts, Fouquet by Meere is therefore most relevant as a hospitality venue where coffee plays a supporting role alongside lunch, dinner, and events.

According to company information, Restaurant Fouquet has existed since 1991. Since 2024, Raymond Meere has been the chef-owner. Den Haag Centraal reported on November 12, 2024, that Raymond Meere took over the business with his sons Ferri and Donovan and his daughter Linsey. According to that report, the family acquired the company in August 2024 and worked toward an opening around mid-November 2024.

The culinary concept is described as “Market Cuisine” and “Cuisine du Marché”. The kitchen focuses on Mediterranean dishes with an Asian touch. This description places the establishment within the broader restaurant sector rather than the category of specialized coffee bars. Nevertheless, coffee is present in the offerings and in the way Fouquet by Meere welcomes groups and corporate guests.

The January 2025 menu lists several hot beverages. These include coffee, cappuccino, latte macchiato, double espresso, espresso, tea, fresh mint tea, fresh ginger tea, hot chocolate, and international coffee. While the menu provides a basic overview of the coffee selection, it does not offer detailed information regarding origin, roasting, recipes, or brew profiles.

No publicly documented manual brewing methods were found, such as filter coffee, V60, Aeropress, Chemex, or cold brew. This does not mean such methods do not exist, but they are not mentioned in the available information. Public data primarily shows a standard hospitality offering, with espresso and milk-based drinks as the recognizable components.

The research reveals an important distinction regarding the coffee supplier. The provided information mentions De Wisent Koffiebranderij as the roaster. De Wisent is publicly documented as a coffee roastery in Uden. However, no direct link between De Wisent and Fouquet by Meere was found in the consulted public sources. Additionally, a public LinkedIn post by Rik Oostdam mentions that chef Raymond at Fouquet by Meere drinks espresso from Koffielovers. This is a separate supplier mention and is independent of the information regarding De Wisent.

Fouquet by Meere also profiles itself as a venue for groups. Company information mentions private dining for groups starting from 15 people. Spaces such as the Lounge, Serre, Middenzaal, and Tuin are mentioned. This layout indicates a business that organizes group receptions in addition to regular restaurant visits.

BusinessRestaurants.nl describes several corporate options. These include group lunches, group dinners, private dining, exclusive rental, meetings, brainstorming sessions, restaurant catering, walking dinners, corporate parties, and business drinks. An afternoon package includes a private room, lunch, unlimited coffee and tea, water with mint and lemon, and the use of a whiteboard. Coffee thus primarily serves a function within a meeting or group setting.

No publicly documented coffee workshops, tastings, or exhibitions were found at Fouquet by Meere in the available sources. Nor is there data regarding a separate coffee community surrounding the establishment. Public information emphasizes food, hospitality, and private or corporate gatherings.

The Fouquet page mentions that Raymond Meere works with seasonal Mediterranean dishes with an Asian twist, using fresh daily products. The lunch information highlights seasonal and local ingredients. The January 2025 menu provides concrete examples, citing Het Pastagilde for tagliatelle, Noordzeevis for the catch of the day, and cheeses from boerderij Snoek in the Krimpenerwaard.

Regarding coffee, the origin is less clearly defined. Wisent Koffiebranderij mentions its own sustainability practices, including fully electric roasting and CO&#82s2;-neutral packaging. However, available public sources do not confirm that these practices specifically apply to the coffee served at Fouquet by Meere. Other sustainability or sourcing practices specifically linked to Fouquet by Meere are not publicly documented in the consulted materials.

Fouquet by Meere has been featured in several publications. Den Haag Centraal wrote in November 2024 about the takeover by the Meere family and the planned reopening. De Buik van Den Haag lists Fouquet by Meere as a lunchroom in Den Haag Centrum. Tafelen met Ton published a piece on June 19, 2025, about Restaurant Fouquet By Meere, mentioning Raymond, Ferri, Donovan, and Linsey. OpstapmetLisa published an article on January 19, 2026, about lunch at Fouquet by Meere, referring back to the opening the previous year.

Additionally, BusinessRestaurants.nl lists Fouquet by Meere under the “Business Restaurants Top 500”. Based on the available information, the image emerges of a restaurant and lunch location with business facilities, where coffee is available as part of the menu and group packages. For the specialty coffee sector, the limited public documentation is particularly relevant: details regarding beans, roast profiles, and brewing methods are not widely recorded.
