Park Café — Restaurant in Haarlemmermeer

Surprisingly amazing food experience, unless you prefer packed sandwiches and salads.

It’s an airport, of course it is expansive! Like everything else 😉 but it is still better than Burger King or McDonalds.

During one of my business trips via Amsterdam Schiphol I was taking the opportunity to have a heavy meal before heading to my (delayed) long haulage flight.

The cafe (which is for me more like a bistro) offers besides typical airport products (all kind of bottled drinks, snacks and coffee) also other meals like burgers. It is located close to the lounges.

So I ordered the cheeseburger with Bacon and chips to compensate the waiting time and reduce the “hangryness”. The food is individually and freshly made in the kitchen behind, after ordering and paying you get this noise making and blinking device that tells you that your food is ready to pick up.

You have a lot of seats on the side all the way to the back, but keep your belongings close to you. Also other passengers that are just waiting for there flights are utilizing these seats and tables.

Food was done within 10-15 minutes and I must see it looked very very good and tastes even better. Definitely some calories but also filling. Also the queue was not that long, so overall I spent 30 minutes there.

Please clean up your things, there are enough trash bins.

I did not order anything else, therefor I can’t comment on drinks and...

Dear Parkcafe,

We chose your establishment solely because you were the only place open at 9:00 PM in the area. Unfortunately, we soon regretted our decision. When we received our food, the "fries" were cold and were actually chips, not proper fries. Additionally, you served a dry burger without any mayonnaise or other type of dressing. When I asked your "chef" at the counter for some mayo to put on the burger, I was told to turn around and pay for it. At this point, it wasn’t about the payment, but more about the way you treat your customers, especially when they are already paying 23 euros for a tasteless meal. (The chef was certainly not a chef, although he probably wished he was.) If the boss of this shop wants to know more about his co-workers lack of social skills and the term ‘service’ e-mail me...

Pleasant environment. However, staff have no control of what customers orders. A poorly organised way to run a business, messy bar, full of dirty glasses, and even serving beverages on poorly washed glasses. People waiting for their orders to the point they have to complain. Whoever the owner is, if you are wondering why you are not making profits is because your money is going through the sink for all the misunderstood orders your staff have to throw away, plus the wrong control of the size and type of beverage the customers are ordering. A Lot of personal but acting like headless chickens with no guidance. Basically one can leave without paying and no-one will notice. Hire a manager to put in place basics standards!!! clearly there was none at the time...
