5050 food Amsterdam in Buikslotermeer

A cute restaurant with a small, fine menu. Everything is organic and made with love. The service was very friendly. I recommend making a reservation.

Really nice music and awesome service too. I love this place.

The food is good, but everything is very expensive. A menu costs over €42...

Last night I had a really bad experience with the service here. I wanted to pay with cash because I needed my bank account for other bills. The waitress looked at the note with disgust, as if I was ripping her off. Then she said it was possible, but that I wouldn't be welcome anymore. Her colleague agreed, saying I'd tried that with him before. As if it's so normal and easy to shift the responsibility for such a drastic change of course (and the provider's needs) onto the customer. Cash is still legal tender! 1. I've been coming here for years and usually paid by bank transfer. Now I have much less of it. I'm being accused of not knowing or seeing it on the door. As if I'm being difficult on purpose. I have absolutely no understanding of the time and resources it takes to make this happen. 2. At other places, at least there are friendly people who resolve issues personally. This woman seemed to have a dislike for me. This may have been due to another experience: 3. We regularly ordered takeout food from here because colleagues from my own restaurant couldn't join us. One was still working, while the other couldn't tolerate the noise, light, and crowds for medical reasons. Recently, we wanted to order takeout again, but that suddenly became impossible. We absolutely had to eat the food there. The two of us did it together, but our colleague couldn't join us, so I packed it for him in a box I brought myself. This incident apparently played a role, because I was criticized for this during the discussion about the money. 4. It seems Riot/Conscious Hotel has changed course. They commanded respect with 100% organic, mostly vegan, and affordable food and friendly service, but this has changed. - The prices have become extremely high, compared to the tiny portions, which are described as "sharing dinners," where you are completely misled. Portions so small you can't share, but you need three to make something nutritious. - By refusing cash, access is bluntly and dogmatically denied to a segment of the public with little electronic income. Why so strict when it concerns a few exceptions? How does this elitist attitude fit into the 'Riot' concept, which refers to the Jordan uprising? - A few months earlier, it emerged that no organic frying oil was used. While that would have been an exception, it's now resurfacing. - At Kantoor (Westerpark), there are hardly any vegan options left. Is Riot heading in this direction? The restaurant (Moer) was closed for almost a year. First due to renovations, later due to a staff shortage. It's clear they're struggling with the concept of 'conscious', and that's not easy (for food). With Alchemist Garden, I follow a consistent holistic approach, mm, which in today's world is more of an art form. The most important thing is: be transparent, open, honest, and clear. But above all: be kind! Otherwise, you won't make it (again).
