Saur was a restaurant located in The Hague in the Netherlands. It was a fine dining restaurant that was awarded one Michelin star in the periods 1958-1959 and 1967-1989.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8] The restaurant finally closed down in November 2013.[9]
In the period 1982-1984, head chef was Ad van Wel.[10][11]
Restaurant Saur was convicted of breaching the price regulations in 1942. During the wintertime it had charged ƒ 2,50 for a plate of pea soup, while it was only allowed to charge ƒ 1,20. Although it was moved to a higher price class before the conviction, it still had to pay a fine of ƒ 1000 (thousand guilders).[12] In 1942, restaurant Saur advertised with peewit eggs[13]
In the last days of his life, 2 May 2002, politician Pim Fortuyn was dining with friends in Restaurant Saur. A large crowd of protesters gathered in front of the restaurant. A security firm offered to protect him, but Fortuyn declined. Four days later, on the 6th of May, he was murdered.[14]
