    (Translated by Google) Fine restaurant with reasonable prices and very nice manager. We had a wonderful lunch here. The omelette and pea soup were very tasty. (Original) Prima restaurant met redelijke prijzen en zeer aardige bedrijfsleidster. We hebben hier heerlijk geluncht. De omelet en de erwtensoep waren heel lekker.

    (Translated by Google) Cozy and comfy. The pea soup was delicious and the omelet was a bit wet, ask for a whole yolk maybe that is better. Staff friendly. Without consuming anything the toilet costs 1 euro which is understandable with the many tourists. (Original) Gezellig en knus. De erwtensoep was heerlijk de omelet was en beetje nattig, vraag om een hele dooier misschien is dat beter. Personeel vriendelijk. Zonder iets te nuttigen kost het toilet 1 euro wat begrijpelijk is met de vele toeristen.

    We went on a trip to Zaane Schans and decided to grab a beer. We saw a little café bar and gave it a chance and it was absolutely worth it. The staff is very friendly, the location and the ambience are amazing and the food we ordered was perfect. The schnitzel was juicy and the potato was pure bliss. The prices are aligned with the quality of the service. 10/10, would reccomend.

    Just stopped in here on a whim after a quick train ride over to see the windmills. Great food and service, we asked for a beer suggestion and she brought us Texels which we loved! Would definitely stop in again if I'm ever lucky enough to be back here.

  • 1/5 Chin Hua K. 1 year ago on Google
    We stopped by for lunch break and coffee. Apparently, it is a little races to Asians. Once we sit down, she told us all people must order drinks. Of course we are going to order drinks and food. It is a lunch break. She was rushing us to order drinks, i told her that my mom cant drink tea, coffee and beer due to her stomach acid. We asked for a drink menu for my mom. She is impatient and throw us an food menu instead and leave. Right after we ordered the coffee, the waiter was super unfriendly. She is moving chair to our table and loudly drop the chair in-front of us. We asked about item in the menu and she was not interested to answer. Just keep saying no and no. Tell us only one thing is available. While we are seeing other tourists (European) that just reach there and ordering food and drinks. She was very polite to them. We decided to paid for the drinks and left. Due to how rude we was treated.

    (Translated by Google) Very good restaurant when you walk near the mills. At noon there is little choice but it's good, and the cook is accommodating. The prices are very reasonable, and the service impeccable. (Original) Très bon resto quand vous vous promenez près des moulins. Le midi il y a peu de choix mais c'est bon, et la cuisinière est arrangeante. Les prix sont très raisonnables, et le service impec.

    This was the best restaurant I’ve visited in Netherlands so far. The bun with meat croquette was one of the best think I’ve tried in Netherlands. There was a really kind women and I felt really comfortable. I really recomment this restaurant!!! Love it

  • 5/5 siddharth g. 6 years ago on Google
    Very cozy and nice place to enjoy beers

  • 5/5 Olga V. 1 year ago on Google
    A gem in a tourist spot! People should stay after mills close, explore the town and have dinner here. Totally recommendable! Good prices and excellent food, plus a wide range of beers. Be advised by the owner or the bartender if you can't decide! They're super friendly!

  • 5/5 Flavio P. 2 years ago on Google
    Proeflokaal De Kruis - I wanted to try the tasting but unfortunately it was already over when I arrived. Anyway, they have a vast menu of beers and a very cozy place outside - perfect for a good weather. The staff is also friendly and attentive. Recommend!

  • 1/5 Lay Ming K. 1 year ago on Google
    Terribly bad experience. Very RUDE and arrogant waitress(red curly hair woman). Racist. I won’t recommend this restaurant especially Asian due to the bad experience. Truly disappointed on De Kruis. So far has been very good experience in Amsterdam until we visit this restaurant. We saw good review in Google so we plan to have lunch break there. When we get in, the waitress bring us to table, she keep pushing everyone of us must order a drink immediately even we yet to settle down. She took away the menu card without asking us if we want to order any food or if we still want the menu card. Worst, she was smiling and saying thank you to another European customer, and next minute she move the chair to our table and drop it loudly in front of us. We decide to not order any food and leave immediately. I saw the review was good in Google and surprise how they treat their customer in such a rude way and being such racist.

    (Translated by Google) It seemed a bit like they were not in the mood for a large group. give beer to the bottle without a bottle first tapping beer, then pouring the rest, which kills the beer needs improvement (Original) Kwam een beetje over dat ze geen zin hadden in een grote groep. bier op de fles zonder fles geven eerst bier tappen dan de rest inschenken waardoor het bier dood slaat behoeft verbetering

  • 3/5 Arie K. 1 year ago on Google
    This place may be good for locals since it was full of them, but I found it mediocre in every way. The food, the drinks selection and staff were all below what I expected for a place in this beautiful little city.

  • 3/5 Daniel L. 1 year ago on Google
    Not great options for vegetarians but still a fun place to grab a bite.

    Friendly staffs, great food and a perfect ending after spending the whole day walking around the windmill area. The beef is incredibly good and the fries are perfect!

  • 5/5 Nick C. 1 year ago on Google
    Great staff, lovely food, excellent beer. Ate here two nights running whilst on holiday. Good value and very tasty food. Was busy on both nights with a great atmosphere. Particularly enjoyed the Texel's Skuumkoope beer which was recommended to us.

  • 2/5 Nina B. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice place to drink a beer but the bartenders were very rude to my friends and I. We took 3 drinks for four and they told to the 4th person who didn't pay for anything, to leave the bar in order to get the seat available. Who does that? Never seen this in my whole life.

  • 5/5 Frans B. 9 months ago on Google
    Good artisan beers, really nice food for what you pay for it. All year round a good place to unwind and relax with some friends, sometimes I just walk in by myself and still have a great time. Historically also one of the oldest pubs in the region, that on itself makes it worthwhile I believe.

    If you don’t want to ruin the mood of watching the windmills, go to the restaurant next door. The male employees in this restaurant are very unfriendly The store time showed that it was open, and another clerk also opened the sign. When I wanted to go in and find a seat, a person who looked like the boss drive me away unkindly I regret going into this restaurant after reading the reviews.

  • 5/5 Charles W. 8 months ago on Google
    If you're looking for a nice little cafe with good beer and food and nice staff. Would recommend this place. Seemed very idyllic. We stopped here before exploring Zaanse Schans.

  • 5/5 Keri T. 5 years ago on Google
    Nice spot to stop along your way to Zaanse Schans. Next door to to the bakery. The bitterballen is nice and crispy and if you haven't had a Dutch beer yet try the Texels Skuumkoppe. Nice atmosphere inside and also has seating outside as well. Staff is nice and they also have bathrooms. Place is very clean and the bar has a full selection of beers.

  • 5/5 Amey N. 5 years ago on Google
    A local restaurant serving small bites, meals and full bar service. We had ordered different difference dishes and all were very tasty and served with love. Adjoining area has many historic windmills and oldest among them is from 1642. It's located in the city og Zaanstaad.

  • 5/5 Sofia Aquino G. 4 years ago on Google
    A range of options for beer and cozy environment. I highly recommend. I will come more times.

  • 4/5 Filomena P. 4 years ago on Google
    Lucky us, we had the chance to enjoy live rock music while drinking local beers between native people. We paid 25€ for 5 beers, 2 special and 3 simple tap beers. I would recommend it if your wallet feels happy!

    (Translated by Google) Nice place to drink a beer. It is pleasantly busy, the staff are friendly and alert and there is a nice selection of specialty beers, both on tap and bottles.

  • 5/5 margarita maria bedoya a. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) natural food simmered And best good beer, like traveling me and know places that are very local and not touristy, could understand spaghetti bolognese and we risk entering the place very cozy and especially food very natural at home, the menu is not extensive something that makes easy selection, lots of beer and good quantity, my sister has gone very wrong with the food in Europe but found his best dinner here. They are not very fast but a good beer to wait always good, I recommend before returning to Amsterdam, a special day in a charming village. (Original) Comida natural a fuego lento Y lo mejor buena cerveza, me gusta viajar y conocer lugares que sean muy locales y no tan turísticos, logre entender espaguetis a la boloñesa y nos arriesgamos a entrar, el lugar muy acogedor y en especial la comida muy natural como en casa, el menú no es muy amplio algo que hace la selección muy fácil, mucha cerveza y buena cantidad, a mi hermana le ha ido muy mal con la comida en europa pero aquí encontró su mejor cena. No son muy rápidos pero una buena cerveza para esperar siempre esta bien, se los recomiendo antes de su regreso a Amsterdan, un día especial en un pueblo encantador.

  • 4/5 Vanessa M. 6 years ago on Google
    I loved everything about this place. Cheery cafe with a good healthy menu and other Dutch treats. Try a Bos tea and the local Brie, fig and honey sandwich. Portions are generous and served with a smile. Fair prices and the only thing it lacks is outdoor seating!
