Club Platonik in Wijk 11 Zaandam Zuid

The food is bad. The vegetable soup is inedible. The sandwiches, both the tuna and the cheese, are bad. Everything is pre-made, to the point that you can't even order milk for your daughter because the machine supposedly only dispenses coffee. Three sandwiches, one soup, two coffees, and three bottles of water cost €55.50. It's an opportunistic business, taking advantage of its location, but the quality is extremely low. They also charge €1.25 to use the bathroom because it's a shared bathroom (they don't have their own).

The security man in entrance work with 0 professional, if u don’t speak dutch u are not allowed , disappointed of service

Great spot for a quick bite with indoor and outdoor seating, right on the canal. Serves a rather limited menu of typical Dutch fare. But the chicken bites were great. So was the uitsmijter and bitteballen. Good beer selection. Two young guys serving us were very attentive and hospitable. Great job!

Good sandwich for a nice price of around €6. Friendly service.
