Joseph Aan De Poel - Aalsmeer

It is not a real restaurant and neither a bar. Most of the space is taken by tables though where you get to eat. Menu is short with usual bar food, better than average but not super. I had an antipasti starter which is basically chorizo and coppa with a bit of bread, not much bread. Lot of cold cuts. We had to really wait a lot so we got guacamole with chips, frankly just felt as out of the bag and heated in the microwave with plastered cheese, hot sauce and guacamole. A messy thing. My main dish was stale. Done ok. Good meat but too salty. There was no different from rear, well done or middle way. The waiter himself was jus dishing out plates with out asking and confessed they were all the same. Sweets were just something frozen, chocolate and butter pudding. Really not good. Service is sloppy, slow and not too friendly for being a bar. Ber was good, that is nothing they can change fortunately. Add that the place is in the middle of nowhere, yes, by the water but still nowhere, then you get that I won't probably get there again. Not too expensive but for what you get is anyway pricey.

A restaurant must be rated by the food it serves, not its location or surroundings and the food was just average and certainly did not do justice to the very nice waterfront.

Great location, good menu, beautiful terrace, friendly people. And you can get there by boat if you like.

Lekker eten, en vlakbij het water. Bij drukte is de bediening wat vergeetachtig, maar laat dat je niet tegenhouden. Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch Price per person: €20–30 Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4 Recommended dishes: Gebakken Zeetong

Voor mij en mijn vriend Jan was het de eerste keer in dit restaurant. We waren uitgenodigd door mijn broer schoonzus. Erg lekker gegeten, warme uitstraling. En een mooie lokatie zo aan het water.
