We have been visiting Southern Cross frequently for the past 10 years and were never disappointed. The food is adventurous, tasty and prepared with great care. Plan your visit well in advance as there always seems to be a rush to the restaurant. Once you've been there you will understand why! Cheers to Natasja, Peter and staff...keep up the great... More

Once again we went to Southern-Cross and again it was very a very enjoyable experience. We choose the set menu offering six choices per course. The food was excellent and the staff were very attentive. Very recommendable - most of the times you need to book in advance as booking the same day is not very successful.

I ate here with some Ducth friends who loved the place. I had some reservations about an Australian Fusion Restaurant in the Netherlands. However these were unfounded. It sources good quality ingredients ( which is a theme that I see in other good Dutch Restaurants), and the quality of presentation is top class. I enjoyed the meal from start to... More

As we associated Australian food with kangaroo and crocodile, we had not been here before. We heard that they also served excellent fish dishes, so we tried it out. We were not disappointed: the food was fabulous. I took the five course 10-year celebration menu and the rest of the family took the three course dinner, where you can select... More

Try Southern Cross in Heemstede, the Netherlands. They serve food based on Australian cooking and they serve also nice Australian wines and beers. The staff understands the australian cuisine and can therefore almost answer all questions. But that is not all, the staff is also very friendly. it is advised to reserve a table in adsvance for about 2 weeks.

While the modern Australian cuisine is receiving a lot of (positive) attention lately, there seems to be some confusion about what Australian cuisine really is. And even after having dined on several occasions, I am still looking for differences between the modern Australian cuisine of Southern Cross with other fusion cuisines. 'Typical' Australian ingredients like crocodile, Barramundi fish and kangaroo... More

As you can read in the other reviews aswell this is a great restaurant. Friendly service, different menu (Kangaroo, Crocodile, Emu, Etc. and a very good relation between price and quality (35 euro will get u 3 courses). Australian wine, australian Beer. Don´t forget to try the Pavlova Dessert accompanied by the 20 year old museum dessert wine.

Good menu. Starter - Main - Sweets one price, great. You have to reserve a long time in advance as it is allways full. No wonder great value, service and wine chart. Its worth the wait mate!
