Cafe Restaurant Polder in Middenmeer

Nice barn looking restaurant. Super friendly staff Delicious food Serving time Just 20 minutes

Nice cafe/restaurant where you can park for free. The atmosphere is very relaxed, and you can have a great chat without the music being too loud. In the summer, the terrace is a great spot to enjoy the sun.

An on-campus cafe in an old farmhouse? What's not to love! Just a solid place to go for drinks/lunch/dinner!

Nice location for a bite and a drink or just for coffee.

Super attentive staff, great menu.

A perfect spot to hang out in the summer.

Lovely place. With its own parking lot!

Was there on Wednesday evening with a group of 8 people, nice terrace with friendly staff. Good food, served quickly and a great price!

Nice location with friendly staff and delicious food.

A really great place! Plenty of space for indoor and outdoor seating, friendly staff, and four-legged friends are always welcome. Also ample parking!! The food is always super tasty, just a little different from what you normally see on the menu, and super affordable!

Nice staff and good coffee, attentive to the needs of sngrouo of people

The salmon salad was a large portion of salad at the expense of the salmon. A "small portion" had been requested. The other dishes were fine.

Super cool experience in a farm.

The food was fine, but nothing more.

Might legit be the best place in Amsterdam to get food. Good prices and very good food!! And very very good Fries

Lovely outside on the terrace, although the interior is also particularly nice. Friendly service, great lunch, and generous portions. Great location, highly recommended! Reservations can be helpful on busy days and times.

Super friendly staff and delicious food! What a breath of fresh air our visit was. We were able to enjoy drinks outside without any problems first and were allowed inside to eat at our own time. Every member of the serving staff was exceptionally helpful and kind, and the food was truly delicious! Delicious asparagus with salmon..

Had a delicious lunch here on May 1, 2026, during my bike ride from Venray to Texel. Friendly staff and tasty food!

Food was nothing special. The vegetarian burger was a beyond one and it was not stated in the menu. I think it should be stated so you know what to expect. The fries were OK, good but not memorable. Nice selection of draft beers but the way it's served is not great, the glass was half full of foam.. It feels half a beer not a glass of beer. The nachos had onion and it was not specified again in the menu . But overall at least it was full of cheese but only a very few beans. The velvet cake was good, again not wow but at least the price reflected the quality. So it was fair in the end. The staff was kind, a bit confused sometimes, especially the male staff.. The girls were more on top of their game. Location ok. Nothing special as well.. Average place but at least they don't poison you... It could be worse

We had a small misscommunication with the waiter, but otherwise it s a nice place, with terrace in the sun, good burger

Remains a cozy spot with good food. Lunch, dinner, or a piece of cake: good! The atmosphere is lovely. One of our favorite spots!

Cozy place, beautiful in nice weather. Good food and friendly people.

Had a wonderful birthday celebration with a group of about 20, with coffee and cake on the terrace. Pleasant communication beforehand and during the party. Includes pétanque.

What a lovely spot. Especially with the sun shining today. Just a quick drink and a toasted sandwich, just the way a toasted sandwich should be: real bread, delicious ham and cheese.

After bumping my shin on a parasol holder, there was barely a reaction from the staff. "My shift hadn't started yet, so I didn't know." Passive, unfriendly, and nothing was done about the dangerously positioned holder. My leg is still not healed after 4 weeks.

Absurdly pricey. But that applies to all hospitality venues in this country nowadays. Doesn't really feel welcoming anymore. Cramped spots inside.

Friendly staff, tasty food and not too expensive.

Delicious food and friendly service!😋

De Polder is a very good and cozy restaurant with good food and friendly staff. De Polder is highly recommended.

We rented the Polder Hall for our wedding. It's a fantastic location and a lovely venue. We were given ample time to decorate the venue. Thanks to excellent service and flexibility, it turned into a wonderful evening. We used a caterer (Mark's Party and Catering), so everything is possible. Delicious snacks and a staffed bar completed the experience at a very reasonable price. Highly recommended!

Charming restaurant with a pleasant ambiance and a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. Diverse menu: meat, fish, vegetarian, and vegan. Beautifully prepared dishes with excellent flavor. It's a shame the menu on the website isn't up-to-date; it doesn't match perfectly. Definitely worth a second visit.

The service was attentive and friendly. The atmosphere was good. The food was quite disappointing in terms of taste.

The establishment is located in the Science Park, just a stone's throw from the gateway to our capital. It's the perfect spot for a stop after a walk or bike ride in the Flevopark area, or for a casual evening. Whether you enjoy a strong beer or a 0.0, everyone is welcome at Polder. 😀 Hospitality and service are paramount here.

The food is delicious and the atmosphere is great, but after you order, they forget your table, and you have to walk back yourself to get refills or additional orders. I wonder if that's intentional, because it comes across as anything but hospitable, let alone the nonverbal message it sends if you don't check in on your guests occasionally. Without the latter, it would easily have been 4/5.

The food was delicious, the service was less so. Opening a bottle of wine at the table is also more fun for the guest. Opening a bottle at the bar can be a bit lazy. It's nice to connect with the table and seize that moment. I understand the idea of ​​relaxed interaction with the guest and therefore a homey atmosphere, but I think it's important to make that connection, otherwise it detracts from the atmosphere and experience. The food was a solid 8/9.

We visited the place on Christmas days and it was a good choice for beer and snacks.

Cozy atmosphere and good food! I sometimes come here after a walk in Anna's Tuin & Ruigte. It's a shame, though, that every time I've been, I had to walk to the bar to order; no one has ever come to my table to take an order. You also pay at the bar yourself. Because of this, I've never left a tip. It's a lovely place, but unfortunately, the service is terrible.

Right by the university science center. Yummy food and cozy environment.

A very cozy restaurant with delicious food and a varied menu

It's still possible to have a rural drink in the middle of the high-tech science park!

The fries are one of my favorites in ams. The burger also: ) while the drinks are little bit pricy but you can ask for free tap water

The food is good, but the server gave himself a bigger tip than the one mentioned, being careful not to show the card machine. I only discovered it the next day on my bank statement.

I really enjoyed the summer terrace. It was quiet and peaceful, with delicious tea and light snacks. The staff was friendly and everything was arranged quickly. The decor is also beautiful. A wonderful place to relax.

A very good breakfast and very friendly service. Great.

This restaurant apparently serves dishes that don't match the menu description: instead of pine nuts, there are pomegranate seeds. And instead of basil leaves, you discover a bunch of arugula sprigs! The mozzarella wasn't buffalo mozzarella either, as the flavor was flat and bland. You should never underestimate a customer! Honesty is the best policy. P.S. But the fries were fine.

Beautiful terrace with plenty of space and the choice between sun and shade.

It's a lovely, quiet location (with free parking) and the interior is relaxed, giving the dining area a homey and casual atmosphere. The staff is generally friendly and speaks Dutch! They're not always attentive, so you might end up waiting at least fifteen minutes at your reserved table while others are being helped politely (advice: study the menu beforehand and order immediately upon being shown to your table, otherwise wait patiently for fifteen minutes or longer). Also, last time we visited, we weren't asked if we wanted anything to drink or dessert, or if we enjoyed our meal. Perhaps a summer day isn't the best time to eat there. We'll try again in the winter. The food was good quality, as far as I can tell. The fries were especially great: crispy. The Angus burger and cheese fondue were excellent. The house lemon lime was also delicious. The lemon cheesecake is also highly recommended. The house lemon lime is delicious, except for the lemon; it barely tastes like lemon. A solid 4 (that's an 8)

We had another delicious meal here on Saturday evening.

Ik kom wel vaker bij Polder. Het is gewoon een heel fijne plek. Prima wijntjes, super vega bitterballen, lekker eten en lieve bediening. In de zomer bovendien het fijnste terras van Amsterdam. En dat alles in een gezellige en ongedwongen sfeer.

Delicious Greek omelet with good bread and real butter. The price is also good. The service is professional and welcoming. I'll be back!

I recently visited Café Polder in Amsterdam, beautifully situated on the Buitenring. What immediately struck me – and is a huge plus – is that parking is free. This is almost unimaginable in Amsterdam, as parking prices are normally exorbitant. But Café Polder has its own grounds, which immediately makes going there much more relaxing. When I arrived, the café was packed. This created quite a buzz, so I could barely hear my girlfriend at first. Personally, I found that a bit unpleasant. Fortunately, it calmed down over time, and from then on, we had a truly wonderful time. The food was incredibly delicious, the atmosphere warm and inviting, and you can tell this is a place where people like to gather. Despite the crowds, Café Polder is definitely recommended – a lovely place to enjoy a meal, drinks, and the relaxed Amsterdam atmosphere.

We were sitting outside with a group of about 15. Due to the size of the group, we couldn't order lunch dishes with eggs. If you're expecting a group, shouldn't you have taken that into account? The shrimp croquettes with toast were very disappointing. The croquettes were tasty, but so tiny and too few (3 pieces) to fit on the amount of toast (4 pieces). I also expected more from the toast than two thin slices of white bread. Furthermore, it only came with a small bowl of butter and a lettuce leaf. Sorry, but I didn't think it was worth the money and definitely wouldn't recommend it. I was still hungry, even though I'm a light eater. Compared to, for example, the salmon dish, this paled in comparison. One or two good slices of bread, a slightly larger croquette or one more croquette, and a more varied presentation would have made it much more appealing. The service was friendly, but they failed to notice that a rising wind had blown a parasol across the entire terrace, and that the others had to be held and lowered by us. A bit sloppy. It's nicer to sit at a long table with a group, but the parasols are fixed to the ground, and in very hot weather, you can't push the tables together, as that would mean four people sharing the sun.

Lovely friendly service. Pancake really wasn’t great but other food looked lovely.

Restaurante informal, como casi todos en Amsterdam, dentro de la Universidad. Sevicio amable y rápido, califdad normal de la comida y algunas raciuones abundantes como los nachos. Precios razonables.

I had dinner at your place, and we had delicious salads: Caesar salad, melon salad, and goat cheese. We also ordered a fish dish, but it was prepared with quite a bit of oil, and when I asked about the tomato salsa, a server said it was just cherry tomato pieces (slices) 🤔 Okay... I've never heard of tomato pieces being sold as salsa, but (after 33 years of kitchen experience), I'm sure you're right. It was my first time at your place, and since my mother enjoyed the delicious salads so much, it won't be the last.

Only had a delicious cappuccino here. So didn't eat.

I thought it was nice, it was a party and not for the restaurant, it was well organized

Arrogant staff, bad cooks, couldn't handle criticism and tried explaining to me why I was wrong for disliking their incompetence

One of my favorite places to go for lunch in the east. Nice staff, fast service and their mushroom croquettes on bread are fan-tas-tic!! Drinks here are also great🙌

Nice place to have lunch. Nice view and in a quiet area of ​​East. Ideal to take a walk in the Flevopark afterwards.

Great relaxed atmosphere Friendly service For a fair price

Mediocre food, unfriendly staff, bad service. Please make sure you align your expectations before you decide to go there.

Surprising place. Great for each other. 12 hours was nice. Friendly service. Reasonably on the higher end in terms of price.

Had a delicious meal at Polder on Friday, April 25, 2025. The fish of the day, sea bass with tasty vegetables and fries (instead of sweet potato and quinoa) tasted good, fresh and beautifully presented. The sirloin steak was also delicious. Service and atmosphere excellent.

Nice place, too bad the service is horrible. I've been multiple times and the staff ignore or forget you exist.

Nice restaurant in old farmhouse in the city. Delicious lunch, wheelchair accessible.

Very good meal here, fast and friendly service, good menu.

Polder was always our neighborhood restaurant and now that we no longer live in the area, it still is. If we don't know where we want to eat, we always like to come back here for both lunch and dinner. The casual and pleasant atmosphere, a well-thought-out menu that changes regularly, a nice selection of drinks and nice and friendly staff. And of course the food is always delicious. I would say you couldn't ask for more for a night out for dinner. I recommend the burger, beer stew and cheese fondue if you come for dinner!

We have loved coming here for years. Eating delicious pancakes with the children. Today we were there with a larger group including children and sat in the front house. Delicious food and very relaxed with the children with all the toys.

Nice place to have a party. I was here at a beautiful birthday party. And what's really nice is that you can park there for free

Nice cozy place. Friendly, fast and always pleasant

Unfortunately, this restaurant tends to serve burgers where the middle is still cold and raw. In addition, several of my friends have had bad experiences with a host. Good fries in general.

A great place to come and have a drink and dinner with a large group of family from young to old! Thanks!

Nice place to have breakfast, lunch or dinner. They also have vegetarian soup and fish. Nice and friendly staff. Lovely terrace when the weather is nice.

What a fantastic place!! Delicious food, excellent service, friendly people, nice ambiance and, not unimportantly, a clean, fresh toilet. Highly recommended 🤩

Nice cafè, popular and can get busy

Cozy lunch restaurant. Best popular location, many students and employees of the Uni van Amsterdam. therefore pleasant.

Excellent vegetarian options with incredible taste. Cosy, old building that has been respectfully modernized with nice green outdoor seating options and very friendly staff.

What an unexpectedly nice location near Science Park. Nice in green. Then I can enjoy my scrambled eggs with toast. This place could use more exposure (but maybe I should keep it to myself...)

Beautiful place and delicious food outside. TOP

Basic beer and below average snacks

Lovely place with an excellent menu. Also particularly suitable for parties.

No service. No one served us, no one came to us with the menu.

Nice restaurant, delicious food. Fish of the week was great

Nice lunch, 12 hours highly recommended!

It’s a nice place to go close to Science Park. Food is okay (nothing special tho), the hamburger was fine. Drinks as normal, and prices overall are average. The atmosphere inside is quite nice, has a nice “architecture“ let’s say. If you are close by or at the University in Science Park then stopping by for a drink or a snack is a good option.

Wij aten een paar keer in dit restaurant. Eten was prima in orde. Ongelooflijk vriendelijke bediening! Zeldzaam in amsterdam. Was t overal maar zo!

Great food, nice service Unfortunately, the waiting time both to order and for the food to arrive was too long.

Very nice place to have a drink. Dogs are welcome. Many vegetarian options and a wide choice of (tap) beers. A place where we like to come when the weather is nice to sit on the terrace, but it is also nicely decorated inside.

Nice place in a mediocre environment, great that they have made it so much fun

We had something to eat and drink on the terrace

The favorite in Amsterdam Watergraafsmeer for years. Even now that I no longer live in the area, I still enjoy coming there!

Had lunch with ex-colleagues. It was fun but busy. It is recommended to make a reservation!

Very friendly and attentive service. Food was delicious

Nice small restaurant, good location on Amsterdam Science Park

The place to be, I come there sometimes every day, it is a great place to have a drink and eat, friendly staff, nothing is too much, you feel like you are outside Amsterdam but you are right next to the UvA Sciensepark. Simply recommended.

Nice location to just have lunch or rent a space yourself with a good sound system, bar and lighting!

The food is mediocre, but expensive. But the admosphere is fine. Incredibly sad to see a pro Putin poster at the wall.

The burger was very tasty and the food came very quickly. I was well looked after and the atmosphere was pleasant.

Especially the latte machiato with 🍋 is outrageously nice 😋 Good atmosphere, very dog-friendly!
