Fort NOXX in Hoofddorp

Fantastic atmosphere and vibe. There was a jazz band performing in the early Sunday afternoon and it filled up with a bunch of locals who were dancing and having a great time it was really fantastic.

We had a delicious meal on Boxing Day. Super fun!

Beautiful, spacious restaurant. Friendly and attentive service. The food was very good. Highly recommended!

Beautiful location. Good food. Excellent service.

Cozy and a great location. Nice menu and good value for money. Friendly staff.

I was the master of ceremonies at a wedding at this fantastic venue. We were so well looked after by Martin, Nancy, and their staff. From the early start of the day until well after, we were pampered, and all our questions and ad hoc adjustments to the program (which always arise on such a day) were immediately discussed and implemented. A special shout out to Rijk, a young man who's already mastering the hospitality industry! I recommend Fort Noxx to anyone celebrating!

What a fantastic place to have your wedding. From the first meeting to the day itself, it feels so comfortable. The staff are wonderful and know how to organize a wedding. On the day itself, they have a great crew that really makes you feel festive. The food was delicious and more than enough. And the venue itself is very photogenic (see the photos). They also recommended a band to us (Brand New Jam) who made it a fantastic party. All in all, a fantastic experience!

A fantastic venue for our wedding. Beautiful location, fantastic, helpful staff, and delicious food and drinks.

We all found the food mediocre. There's also room for improvement regarding hospitality (conversation at the table, etc.). It's a charming venue, though (very cleverly done for an old concrete bunker). The acoustics could also be improved.

Great restaurant with excellent food and service. I ordered the salmon, dish of the day, and it was fantastic. The salmon was cooked perfectly, served with vegetables that complemented it beautifully. All the flavors worked really well together. Highly recommended!

The fish was fine, but it was 3 pieces of raw beetroot, 1 Brussels sprout, a piece of cauliflower, a wilted piece of lettuce, and a portion of fries, which had to be paid for separately. No appetizer or dessert, 1 wine, and 1 soft drink cost around €61. A terrible experience, not to be repeated!

Good quality recipes and suggestive surroundings...Enjoyable.

Everything was perfect. Lovely location. Too bad it was so quiet. Definitely recommended for anyone thinking of eating here.

We made a reservation in advance for four people. When we arrived, we were told they needed to make a table for us; it felt like our reservation hadn't even been confirmed. While we were waiting, another group of four arrived, and they were immediately seated, which was strange. After that, things just didn't improve for the rest of the evening. The menu was forgotten. Drinks were forgotten. Food was forgotten. Which, once we finally got it, was delicious. I don't know if we'll come back. A lot can go wrong in an evening, but acknowledge it and just say sorry. You don't have to pay anything in return, but the ladies' attitude was as if we were a nuisance. If only we were, they would have served us, but they forgot...

We had a wonderful lunch with excellent service. It was very tasty, and the M&M cheesecake was a delicious and creative way to end the meal. 👍

Cool!!! What you can make of a bunker!!!!!!

This is one of the 40 forts built between 1880 and 1920 to protect the city and Amsterdam. It's a brutalistic building that has been turned into one of the best restaurants in the Netherlands. I had the tomato soup and the entrecote. Both were well made and absolutely delicious. Don't pass on the pepper sauce !

Beautiful location and excellent service. We attended a wedding here.

Vegetarian option too. Enjoyable, delicious food without any fuss.

A very bad experience. We made a reservation at 6:30. The starter was too cold. The main course, the cod, was too dry and, like everything else on the plate, was drowned in the sauce. We opted for the chef's menu, but the dessert (lemon tart with blood orange ice cream) was no longer available (they had run out of ice cream). From 8:00 PM onward, the cleaning was in full swing. The open kitchen was being scrubbed and scoured, and the smell of chlorine wafted from behind the bar. Add to that the very rushed service and the falling of things... we won't be back.

Cozy place, and safe from a potential drone attack 😛 Food very spicy and salty: 1 (!) satay stick with spicy vegetables and fries. Dame Blanche for €10 with 3 scoops of ice cream, fake whipped cream, and a bit too little chocolate sauce. Friendly service.

Great, interesting place. The food was very good. Highly recommended. Will be back.

We had a wonderful meal, choosing the shared dining menu. It was fantastic, with three different dishes per course, a flavor explosion with every bite. Hats off to the kitchen and the service. Thank you, and see you soon.

We received a polite apology and an explanation for the previous reservation error. This time we had a super fun and delicious evening. The food was delicious, and all the staff were incredibly friendly and enthusiastic. Definitely recommended if you want an evening of good food in a relaxed and cozy atmosphere.

Enjoyed a delicious meal during a motorcycle ride along Amsterdam's fortifications!

Wanting to dine there but arriving late, I was pleasantly welcomed by very friendly, smiling staff. The setting is relaxing and really pretty, atypical.

I expected more from the menu, and the waitress forgot everything. Even my salt and pepper for the omelet, which was almost cold by the time it was served.

We had a unique experience at Fort Noxx, and not in a particularly positive way. We arrived at the Fort intending to enter an open, bright, cozy restaurant/brasserie with a pleasant atmosphere. It turned out to be a small outdoor area (directly on the left upon arrival) with a corresponding, very small, dark area with a few tables. The man who welcomed us himself suggested it would be better to sit outside because "it's not very cozy inside." We ordered a starter, main course, and dessert. All three were mediocre. There was no real depth of flavor. The meat wasn't particularly tender, the vegetables with the main course were tough and tasteless, and the desserts seemed to have been prepared far in advance and had lost their lightness, making them very filling, which was a shame. After a few courses, a toilet visit was necessary, and upon arriving at the restroom, I was quite shocked. It felt like I was back in elementary school with the open cubicles and swinging doors. The restroom hygiene wasn't exactly great either, but that might have been due to a visitor who wasn't feeling well. All in all, the restroom could definitely use a serious overhaul. Probably nice as an event venue, but we won't be returning for the food.

Had a delicious meal to celebrate a colleague's retirement. Friendly staff. Nice location, both indoors and outdoors.

The service was friendly and attentive. The shared dinner was a hit, with delicious dishes and perfectly proportioned. Kudos to the chef!

Good food, friendly service and relaxed atmosphere

Had lunch on a Friday, very few people. Quiet pleasant lunch, the burger was great. Will definitely come back.

What a crappy place! It's July 25, 2025, July 26, 2025, this is happening again! In the middle of a residential area, next to a hospice, with absolutely no respect for the neighbors or the environment, they're playing sounds that pretend to be music that NO ONE wants to hear! Why are you letting everyone enjoy it? I find this truly bizarre and antisocial! Stop this! Don't do this in a residential area, and especially not next to a hospice!

On a sunny day, we had a work outing. The entire department went first for activities and then for food and drinks. It was a beautiful location, and it was special to see it as part of the Defence Line of Amsterdam. Bunkers and defense of the capital. Good food, spacious, and unique, right in the heart of Hoofddorp.

We had a lovely meal outside. The service was good, the young man was friendly and helpful. We had steak and chicken satay. The vegetables with the chicken satay didn't look appetizing. They seemed overcooked and tasted nothing special. I left them, which was a shame. The menu described stir-fried vegetables. I had a different impression. A bit more bite instead of a soggy mess.

A very friendly waiter who didn't use the phrase "we don't have this," gave us a nice glass of wine outside the selection, and also understood that we weren't in a hurry. We had the sharing bread and Camembert as a starter, followed by the main course of entrecote and satay, simply delicious. It was indeed different three years ago. Thank you, and see you next time.

A beautiful, unique location, a large fort with a cozy restaurant inside and a lovely terrace outside. The staff is mostly very young and seems to have no structure. I didn't find the food special. It was fine, but nothing more.

Had dinner yesterday and I was positively surprised. Amazing location and atmosphere. They have also bands playing and hold quizzes if not mistaken. Nice experience, we sat outdoors

It's not the location, food, or staff that's the problem. It's the owner/manager who ruins the atmosphere with his grumpy remarks. He has no idea what customer service is, let alone service. Too bad, you won't see us there anymore with a small pan of fries for €5.50 🤔

Informed in advance that we had limited time. (2 hours) as yet only had a dish, which we had to wait endlessly for. When this was cleared away there was no more time to eat and we just left... (Unfortunately this was the 2nd time here that we had to wait a very long time, for everything) So if you go out for an evening, don't eat here.

Really cool experience. A restaurant in an old fort. Food and desert was awesome. NOXX Beer was good.

Burgers, steak and sweet potato fries are really great. Food is simple in a good way, good ingredients, great technique - it just works. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. We will be back.

Super nice place with great live music!

Had a lovely meal outside with pleasant frog sounds, water birds and the trauma helicopter. Service was friendly and relaxed. Again far too few vegetables; 2 green asparagus and chopped seasonal vegetables which together was no more than 2 tablespoons. The extra ordered sweet potato fries were nice and crispy. My entrecote was supposed to be medium rare, but was more like medium. A bit too dry. The garlic sauce and green pepper sauce, was one same brown sauce in two containers. In one container they had added some garlic and in the other A few green peppercorns. But not enough to taste more than the brown sauce itself. I don't send food back unless it is completely inedible, but I have certainly eaten better for this price.

Unfortunately, keeping time was not the quality of our waiter. And by conviviality we ourselves not. Therefore only able to enjoy a starter!

Nice cozy unique location on the water. Located in a renovated fort in Hoofddorp. There is a separate restaurant and cafe area.

Enjoyed the so-called HC menu, 4-course dinner. Lovely to be able to sit outside. Friendly service.

I thought everything was great! 😁 hard working people who care about the business, no matter how busy it is, there is room for a smile. Very attentive, helpful and thoughtful. Highly recommended, the area is very relaxing for walking. Definitely worth it! Wedding party May 10

Really nice open space with natural Fort and also indoor and outdoor restaurant, perfect for birthday, wedding , romantic. Dog are allowed, they prepare also water for dog. Sate with black Keroepuk must try. They said it's Squid ink. Well presentation for the food. Busy time will be take longer time for your order., but enjoy whenever you stay there.

Food was good, location beautiful, but 1.5 hours between starter and main course is too long without informing

It is a beautiful place, in a quiet and pleasant environment. In summer it is surely perfect to meet with friends.

Amazing experience for my husband’s birthday. First time to visit here and we were blown away. Place is packed with locals so you know that it is high quality food! 😋 We tried their 3-course-meal for two adults, risotto and burger for the kids. We especially love their dessert samplers. The ambiance was very cozy, with Sinterklaas decors that time so great photo experience for the kids. Reservation is highly recommended.

We stayed here last night. Just like that and we were really lucky. We didn't even know it was a former fort. A very nice location. There was a dinner with piano accompanied by Janne. A very nice evening. Warm greetings from Germany

Today I had lunch at this special catering company located in Fort Noxx. (Amsterdam Defense Line). Small but excellent lunch menu with delicious lunch dishes. Fast, nice service and a beautiful terrace at the front. Nice place to visit while walking or cycling. Also rooms for parties, weddings or meetings. Good kitchen, bar and clean nice toilets! I am a very satisfied customer.

Vanavond voor de tweede keer hier gegeten. Tuna Tartare (voorgerecht) en zalmfilet (hoofdgerecht) waren heerlijk! De zalm boterzacht. Ten opzichte van mijn vorige ervaring in 2024 vond ik deze keer minder. Niet door het eten maar wel door de service. Als de bediening om de paar minuten aan tafel komt om te vragen of we nog wat willen drinken, is dat echt ‚too much‘ !! En dat terwijl de glazen nog halfvol zijn en we midden in een gesprek zijn. En de Roseval aardappels bij de zalm vervangen door frietjes lukte na enig uitleg wel - ik heb alleen nog nooit meegemaakt dat je hiervoor extra moet betalen. Hopelijk lezen ze de recensie en trekken ze hieruit de conclusie dat er nog wat verbeteringspuntjes te halen zijn om van ons gezelschap de volle score te krijgen.

Delicious food! Food was really delicious, staff also friendly, but what we found super annoying was that every 5 minutes we were asked if we wanted something to drink, while all the glasses were still full. For dessert we ordered tea and 1 lady blanche, nothing else and we still asked twice if we wanted something to drink. Super annoying, especially when you're in a good conversation.

Invited by friends for dinner. The third visit for them, and the first for us. Surprising location, where good use has been made of the special atmosphere that such an old fort creates. Friendly employees and good cuisine, with a price:quality ratio that is absolutely right. Well, there's nothing more to say about that. So go there and (also) discover!

Ideal venue for a wedding or party

Special atmosphere. You simply have to taste it once!

Yesterday we celebrated our 12.5 years of marriage with a small group. The food was delicious and the service very friendly! Just a pity that we had a high table (not very convenient with some elderly people). In addition, one half looked straight into the kitchen, nice to see but not very attractive. There was also a cold draft from the kitchen, which made it quite chilly on your back. I asked for another table, but this was not possible due to other reservations, but no one ever sat at that table. It was a nice evening, but with a small blemish on our holiday.

Don't. Uninterested, ignorant and unlistening staff. Definitely nice girls but unsuitable for working in the catering industry. Potentially nice location, unfortunately everything falls short in the execution.

Delicious food in a very surprising authentic unique environment. Very nice service and both the steak and the salmon were very tasty.

What a noise last Saturday in this restaurant. Requested a rare bavet [clearly indicated to the service] served medium with 3 Brussels sprouts as vegetables, sweet potato fries were no longer available at 7:30 PM. I would say go to La Croute at village street 114 in Warmond, you can learn something from there.

The eight of us had dinner last Saturday evening. Service super fast and friendly. Starter and main course served quickly. Nothing to complain about. Only after the main course did you get the feeling of being left to your own devices. No more service to be seen and it seemed like everyone was busy cleaning up. In the end we got our own menus at the bar for dessert. That was a minus

Great food but had higher expectations

Nice venue, but a lot of noise due to low ceiling. Cozy atmosphere

Unfortunately, the Christmas dinner on Christmas Day was not what we had hoped for. Given the fact that everyone had to be served at the same time, this was at the expense of quality in the kitchen. The concept was fine, but the execution was very poor. Dishes were either lukewarm or undercooked or dry. No, this was really not good and you should not approach it this way anymore. We also got the idea that there were not enough staff around. The wait was long and it was over after 3 hours on these seats. We didn't wait for the "dessert" and left disappointed.

Nice restaurant especially for groups.

Fort Noxx is truly a great experience for anyone who loves a challenge and adventure! This escape room center offers a wide variety of rooms, each with unique themes and challenging riddles that will challenge you both mentally and physically. The atmosphere throughout the building is exciting and well decorated, really sucking you into the adventure from the moment you enter. The staff are friendly and helpful, and they make you feel welcome. They explain everything well and give you just enough hints if you get stuck, without giving away the game too much. The escape rooms themselves are of high quality and well maintained, with complex puzzles and surprising elements that make the game fascinating.

Had a pub quiz here a while back. It was well organized and very enjoyable! Unfortunately, according to the staff, it was not possible to order gluten-free food. Even after indicating that it could be something from the restaurant's menu instead of the drinks menu, this was absolutely not possible. And while the pub quiz lasted all evening. Went home hungry after the quiz... Very unfortunate.

Ate here for the first time tonight. The special menu that had been in the Hoofddorp newspaper for a nice price. It was great. Great service, special location and above all delicious food. The venison steak was delicious, but so were the appetizer, the starter and especially the dessert. One of our party had the cod and it was also delicious. Everything was delivered quickly but with sufficient space between the courses. Between main course and dessert we were also politely asked if we were ready for that. Highly recommended!

Fort Noxx is een prachtige historische locatie in Hoofddorp. We hebben uitstekend gegeten. Wij hadden een speciaal Lezersmenu. Heerlijke gerechten die je niet zo snel van de kaart zult kiezen. Bediening is vriendelijk en enthousiast. Wij kunnen Fort Knoxx van harte aanbevelen en Hoofddorp is het blijkbaar met ons eens want het restaurant zat vol op deze zaterdag

The food was delicious. Top tent.

Because we got there early it was still a bit chilly, but otherwise it was very pleasant and we had a nice evening. Partly because of the nice service. The food was DELICIOUS!

Unique place in the fort of Hoofddorp, part of the Amsterdam defense line. Sounds cold but is atmospheric. Good restaurant, also for fish dishes. Outdoor terrace in several places and rooms for various occasions.

Really exciting restaurant, nice beer, best place in this aria

The food was nothing to write home about, but the service and atmosphere were great. We had shared dining, maybe that was it :)

There were 16 people celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary; beautiful location, very helpful and cooperative staff, perfect service and delicious menu. Highly recommended!

Via Tripper bij fort Noxx in Hoofddorp terecht gekomen. Een geweldige locatie! Dit fort staat op een forteiland omgeven door een fortgracht en is gebouwd in 1899. Het terrein waarop het fort gebouwd moest worden was relatief klein, waardoor men genoodzaakt was een fort met twee verdiepingen te ontwerpen. Dus op de eerste verdieping bevind zich de brasserie met open keuken. Gezellig ingericht, vriendelijk personeel en heerlijk gegeten. Wij hadden dus een “tripper menu” een beperkte keuze uit het menu, maar voor ieder wat wils. Ik had vooraf een carpaccio, hoofdgerecht vis, gegrilde dorade, nagerecht een proeverij van de chef met koffie of thee. Alles met smaak gedecoreerd …. complimenten aan de keuken brigade! Zeker voor herhaling vatbaar, een aanrader!!!

Worthless tent! It's happened again! In the middle of a residential area, next to a hospice, but without any respect for the neighbors and surroundings, sound that is supposed to be music is played that NO ONE wants to hear! Why do you let everyone enjoy it? I think it's really bizarre antisocial behavior! STOP THIS! DO THINGS LIKE THIS ON AN INDUSTRIAL LAND!

Great place for a family party, friendly staff, good food and a nice choice of drinks

Went for burgers and a couple of drinks… took over 2 hours! And there were only about 5 tables busy. When it eventually came, beef burger patty was cooked to death! And the egg was burnt black. Chicken burger patty isn’t made in house, it’s a cook from frozen, wafer thin schnitzel. Really disappointing - pathetic service, worse food - no reason to return.

We actually just wanted to walk around to see the old fort, but this was very disappointing, unfortunately we didn't expect anything like it

Special location, nice staff and good food

Very nice restaurant in a special location.

We were looking for a place to have dinner with a group of 7 people on a Tuesday night, when many restaurants were closed. This place is great ! Very interesting interior (it’s a bunker). The person who served us was very friendly, and spoke English and Dutch. We skipped the starters but the mains and desserts were looking and tasting good, from what I have heard from my colleagues everyone enjoyed it. Personally I had ordered the halibut with veggies that still had a nice bite and it was truly delicious. The (Belgium) fries, one of the best I have ever had…. And I had a lot, I love fries!! Panna cotta with rhubarb compote, delicious! Based on our experience I can recommend this place. Maybe the waiting time for the dishes is slightly longer but it’s worth it!

As long as you can dine outside on the terrace. The restaurant on the first floor is downright unpleasant with too little light outside.

Good food and friendly staff...location is very dark in the summer months, but sitting outside is possible

Very nice setting in the fort of Hoofddorp. Friendly service that could be a bit faster (sometimes you have to wait a very long time). It's a pity that the ordered medium-rare steak was certainly served well done, there was nothing pink about it at all. Furthermore, the food was very tasty.

Nice place to have a party or drinks. Attentive service. P.S. A bit difficult to find and inside a maze, do something about that!

Nice restaurant in a special location. Delicious food

Had several dishes tonight and all were great. As some say “worth the detour”

It is a nice place to eat or drink. This time we had lunch including ham and prosciutto. Simple but tasty. Quite pricey. Unfortunately, I found the dessert disappointing: red fruit prepared in different ways… cake mousse and half a strawberry. I miss the red fruit.

Nice restaurant with good food and rooms for a party or meeting.

Took a while before the food was on the table. But it was tasty

Namen shared dining menu. Vooraf voor ieder persoon een minimaal hapje. Hoofdgerecht zag er goed uit, maar risotto kwam zo uit de koelkast. Niet opgewarmd. Hier iets van gezegd, zouden nieuwe krijgen, maar helaas deze kwam niet. Dessert was schaaltje met diepvries brownie, stukje taart en een nog bevroren droog cakje. Excuses werden aangeboden, want chef-kok was vrij en onverwacht teveel boekingen. Kregen koffie met liqueur als goedmakertje. Ons zie je hier niet meer.

Beautiful building, really great service, very friendly and fast👍🏻. We had the spare ribs and chicken burger. Wasn't tasty. Tinkering with the dishes seems like a good plan to me. And think of adding some vegetables, chicory with cheese, for example. Fries with parmesan cheese were very tasty. The noise was also an issue, hang something on the wall that absorbs it.

I celebrated my 30th birthday here on September 16th. Everything was to your liking. Friendly service and delicious food. Martin and Nancy gave me a tour of the Fort where I could choose where I wanted to have dinner. Everything went as agreed and it was a relaxing evening. They also organize fun events such as the wrong music bingo, we had so much fun🥰

Cozy atmosphere. Beautiful location. Delicious food and very friendly staff.

Ordered menu from the newspaper. The knowledge was good, but in the end it was a bit lacking. We would have liked to order a side dish, because that turned out to be necessary, but we were not asked for it and you did not get a menu because you were given the menu. Now that it was not very busy you could park in front of the door. The location is very nice and we will definitely return.
