Saur was a restaurant situated in The Hague, Netherlands, recognized for its upscale dining experience and specialization in French seafood dishes. The establishment received a Michelin star initially in 1958 and 1959, regained this accolade in 1967, and retained it continuously until 1989. The restaurant ceased operations in November 2013.
Between 1982 and 1984, the role of head chef was held by Ad van Wel.
In 1942, Saur faced a fine of ƒ 1000 due to pricing pea soup at ƒ 2.50 during wintertime, surpassing the permitted maximum price of ƒ 1.20 despite being assigned to a higher pricing category.
A significant event includes politician Pim Fortuyn dining at Saur on 2 May 2002, just days before his assassination on 6 May; that evening, demonstrators had assembled outside the venue.
