Grand Café Hermes in Bedrijventerrein Sloterdijk

The Caesar salad and ribs were cooked to perfection. The steak and fries were equally delicious. Our waiter was incredibly gracious, and we had no complaints.

Had lunch and a drink this afternoon. The food was tasty. The service could have been a bit more focused. Upon arrival, the staff were more preoccupied with their mobile phones than the guests. There isn't really any atmosphere... Old-fashioned.

Simple but tasty food and fantastic service

Always a great atmosphere and friendly staff! Tasty beers and snacks. I can't say anything about the lunch or dinner options, as I've never eaten there.

We had a super great experience here. Delicious food, and we came with a group. They took everything into account. We would love to come back here!

We arrived late in Amsterdam, and since our hotel was close by, we chose this place for convenience. The food was good, the beers a little expensive, and the service was excellent. The waiters were very friendly. The price was a bit high. We paid €102 for raw beef (four slices), two chicken burgers, a chicken skewer with salad, and a bao bun, two small beers (the cheapest), a water, and a Pepsi.

Friendly, no-nonsense, and surprising surroundings right in front of Sloterdijk station.

Absolutely delicious and the staff is great. You have to try the schnitzel with pepper sauce! I thought it was absolutely delicious.

A small, convenient restaurant. Large terrace. Close to the train station. Pleasant service. Good food. Nothing more.

A delicious and hearty burger; fries could be included in the price, which is normal for Amsterdam.

It was delicious, just like homemade.

Best place in sloterdijk, if u are from Finland u know what i mean 🥳

First time in Amsterdam !!! Also first time eating such amazing ribs. Pretty good value-for-money in my opinion. The meat for the ribs slide off the bone 10/10😍

The food was good, and the fries were very good. We were served by a very friendly Italian waitress. The place has a nice, informal feel.

My experience at Grand Cafe Hermes was absolutely fantastic! 🤩 The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was very relaxing. I highly recommend it. ✨😋☕

Had a lovely time sitting outside; pleasant service and tasty lunch. Excellent.

Decent food and a great location, but also quite pricey for what you get. Service is good.

Lovely meal here. Chicken Bao Buns were decent, bun was slightly stiff but still nice. Ribs were delicious, large portion too. £4 per side. Overall fairly priced, good food and lovely staff

I know we were there on a Friday night and the place was busy, so we understand the service might have been impacted. What we did not expect was the lack of acknowledgement and follow through when we requested water and ice. We got 2 little glasses of water, but could not get a refill. We asked for a glass of ice several times but did not get it. The ribs with spicy sauce was tasty, but the burger was just ok. It was so disappointing that we won't go back.

Close to Sloterdijk train station. Surrounded by some greenery. Outdoor seating on various sides. Semi-outdoor seating with heating is also available. Reservations for larger groups are possible.

The ribs are to die for. Service could be a bit more efficient.

We loved it!! It was wonderful.

Very friendly service. Actually, no lunch was served on the day we were there. But an exception was made for us, and we enjoyed delicious sandwiches.

We had dinner there and the food was delicious. The atmosphere was cozy and clean, and the staff was very friendly. I highly recommend it.

The lunch menu didn't have pork ribs. The steak was a bit dry. The red wine sauce was good.

Nice little restaurant right next to the train station exit. Pleasant meal, same prices as in town (quite overpriced). Friendly service and smiling staff. The half chicken was excellent (just needed bread for the sauce). The burger was so-so in terms of meat quality. Salads, fries, or potatoes are extra (+€4).

We ate dinner yesterday, and upon arrival, our reservation was already lost, despite the email confirmation. Luckily, we were seated quickly. The service was friendly, but it took a very long time for drinks to be taken and tables to be cleared. The food tasted fine, but the portions were very small. Carpaccio, for example, was the size of a breakfast plate.

The place clearly says open but on arrival we stood before a closed door. As parking is impossible here that is very frustrating. Will never return.

Company drinks with too many people, but despite that, smooth service and tasty snacks!

Delicious lunch and friendly service

Nice place to chit chat with friends

The service was excellent. We were a large group. The food was fantastic! Especially the spare ribs, highly recommended! And Sloterdijk station was right on your doorstep, so everyone got home easily.

Nice, cozy, a little bit chaotic but very nice place to spend a nice evening with a group of friends! The portions are big, so it is also possible to share and taste more dishes. The steak was amazing! 👌

Just celebrated my silver anniversary with dinner with colleagues, and thanks in part to the staff, we had a fantastic evening. I'll definitely be back.

The staff is always nice, the delicious goat cheese salad is my favorite from the menu, and they have primitivo wine 🍷

Had a drink before ADE at Sloterdijk

We have spent many hours at Hermes in it's early days. We have all ventured away since but it was good to find the Friday afternoon vibe is still very much alive at Hermes. We've thoroughly enjoyed our stay again, thanks Peter and team.

Had a wonderful meal after a long day. Clear menu, relaxed atmosphere, simply excellent.

Nice people, good food, tasty beers and easy to visit from the station.

I’m here on a business trip, and this restaurant is right downstairs, so I came a few times. But honestly, I wouldn’t come back again. First, be careful when checking your bill — we only ordered two beers, but they charged us for five. On another day when the place was busy, one of the servers was extremely rude. When bringing our beers, they just slammed them down on the table with a loud bang, which felt very disrespectful. Really disappointing experience.

I don't understand how this place gets good reviews. During lunch on Monday, I ordered a tuna melt for €15.50. The waitress walked around like a shy little bird, and we didn't feel any hospitality whatsoever. The tuna melt was a hard roll with tuna straight from a can (unprepared) mashed with oversized jalapeño chunks. Prepared without any interest or love for good food, yet charged a premium price. More than half of it was left, but when clearing the table, they obviously ignored it, as is practically everything else at this place. Disgraceful!

A lovely break Where even next to the train station, you feel good in this café 🤩

Wonderful soup of the day and very good service

Friendly stuffs with excellent service. Delicious food.

Lovely place. Good burger and nice staff.

We were recommended this place by our hotel reception. The food was really quite ordinary for really not ordinary prices. If I buy a double burger for 23 euros I don’t respect a super market bought thin, over cooked and largely tasteless burger. The only real highlight was the service. Both waiters were absolutely on point and the lovely server with the darker hair we had a great chat with. Both my partner and I thought the food needed improvement, considering the prices they have put everything it, it really should be better.

Were with a group, commotion Service was fast and friendly. Food and portions were good!

Food is salty but the restaurant is very clean unlike many others nearby

Warm meat sandwich 3.0! Good taste and generous portion!!!!!

I often visit this place with friends and colleagues. Really like the ambience.

Before you even reach your table where your business meeting awaits you, you are chased, stopped halfway and asked what I was looking for. I explained that I walked to the table where my appointment was sitting and was asked standing up what I wanted to drink because my appointment already had tea. After ordering I was able to continue.

One of the best Cafe near Amsterdam. It has been like a go to spot with my colleagues. Nice ambience and friendly staffs.

Service and atmosphere were fine. This is a nice place for a drink. However, our jaws dropped when we got the bill: we paid 12 euros for half a liter of Weihenstephaner! These are prices that you would rather expect on Dam Square than on an industrial estate next to Sloterdijk. Of course, the charm of the business park is also worth something, and officially it is still Amsterdam, but still, we thought this was very solid.

everything was delicious, especially the waiter😂

Abbiamo mangiato nella media, la pasta era scotta, hamburger buoni, ma troppo speziati, anche quelli dei bambini. Prezzi sotto la media. Sconsigliato a famiglie con bambini.

Food was good, but took an age (15 mins) for the waiter to take the drinks order, and then when had finished no-one came to clear the plates or offer dessert or even another drink. So we paid (by going to the bar, because no-one came to the table) and left. Went to the Skybar across the road and had a very pleasant drink with attentive service. Need to improve the service guys.

The food is delicious and the atmosphere is nice. However, it was disappointing that the special beer was not available on the day we went. ㅠㅠ

We came in looking for a place to eat on a recommendation from another restaurant. We were greeted by a young man who told us to pick a tabel, which we did, and the server went back to his colleagues at the end of the bar near the entrence, 4 servers in the room, plus kitchen staff, and we got comfy at our table. Then, no follow up. No menus brought. No one interacted with us. We then sat for what felt like longer than it was, (as we were hungry) i noticed our initial server leave (his shift was over?) And still, no menues, no drink orders, no interactions from anyone. After a good 20+ minutes of just sitting there my parter goes to get us menus, with her gone, i make eye contact with a server who comes over, and i ask "is there no service?" Meaning to follow up with "do we order at the bar?" (I have never been here before so i am unsure what their set up is. Different venues have different work models.) But i never get the chance to ask my second question as the server rather forcefully and defensively states "we were busy." I try and explain that we have been sitting here without interactions or acknowledgement from anyone and again, the server, and this time with sass, says "well, i was on my way over now, we were really busy, and if your food is late its because we are busy." -so now im getting threatened?- im unsure how to understand this. I point towards my partner who is looking for menus at the server station and say "we havent been able to order, we havent had menues yet." To be met with. An eye roll. A sigh. And then the repeated sentence, in slower speech than earlier, (probably for my benefit): "we were busy." And that point i just left. *Im aware of Dutch culture and mentality and yes, they are often outspoken, blunt, and straight to the point (qualities i appropriate) but this behavior is both unbecoming and unacceptable, especially in the service industry.* The venue (and i call it venue because i am not entirely sure what they are: a restaurant? A bar? A rave?) If its a restaurant, it feels like is trying really hard to be a bar. If its a bar, its trying really hard to be a restaurant . The decorations and details are mix n match , you have an asian (buddah?) Statue above the bar, and a tree. The bar is white and huge demanding attention, like you are in ibiza Some of the tables are tall with bar stools, other tabels are "normal", but the creme de la creme of this place is the Electro Dance/house/party music that they play at a soothing 80 dB. As stated, i dont know what this venue is, or what its trying to be, nor can i comment on the food. But what i can tell you is that they are busy, and their staff are overwhelmed putting the ownership of their frustration on its customers.

Very good. Everything nice and dignified. Large portions and beautifully made

We are very disappointed with this restaurant because I have been visiting it with friends for several years, but unfortunately, there are rats running around on the outdoor terrace—not mice, but rats. You sit at the table, and there are rats running under it, which is an absolute disaster. If this is happening outside, I can only imagine what’s going on in the kitchen where they prepare the food. We visited this place yesterday, and €12 for a beer??? Seriously??? 😃😃😃 Prices like in Las Vegas, but the quality of this restaurant does not match such a price range at all. Sorry, but this was our last visit with friends. Sloterdijk and €12 for a beer… that’s quite funny and a scam for customers. There are much better, nicer, and above all, cheaper restaurants in Amsterdam—100%! As for me, never again…👎👎👎

Nice café to meet if you are traveling with several people by train, as it is within crawling distance of Sloterdijk.

great for a drink and good food.

We ate there for 3 days, every dish tasted very tasty. The service was also excellent, they always took food allergies & special requests into account.

Unfortunately the salad was already brown. The burger patties were no. More of a mushy mush, reminiscent of the consistency of liver sausage.

We enjoyed ourselves in this restaurant. The Caesar salad was ultra hearty, the burger meat is marinated and the fries are perfectly cooked and seasoned. The servers are very friendly and the service fast. After 2 catastrophic and expensive restaurants, we found a place that doesn't care about quantity without neglecting quality. We will come back!

We had a few beers. Lovely atmosphere. Very nice waiters

Had the ribs based on great reviews. These were largely exaggerated. It was not bad food. This is not a complaint. But I certainly wouldn't be writing home about it either. Also the waiter never came back after asking him for a drink so......

Super hartelijk en gastvrij personeel. Locatie is gezellig ingericht en perfecte sfeer voor borrel of diner. Menukaart naar mijn hart met alles wat je maar kunt wensen. Extase lekker gegeten én een enorm bord vol. Prijzen zijn voor Amsterdamse begrippen zeer redelijk, zeker voor wat je krijgt. Hier word ik gelukkig van! Ik hoef niet meer op zoek naar een locatie rond sloterdijk, bij deze gevonden!!!

Super warm and hospitable staff. The location is nicely decorated and the perfect atmosphere for drinks or dinner. Menu after my own heart with everything you could wish for. Ecstasy, delicious food and a huge plate full. Prices are very reasonable by Amsterdam standards, especially for what you get. This makes me happy! I no longer have to look for a location around Sloterdijk, I found this one!!!

We came to dinner. We had starter + dessert. Hearty, good meals, reasonable prices, nice and friendly staff, very nice subdued surroundings. Well located.

Cozy tent, we also had a delicious meal here.

Great food and service but very noisy and loud

Always well organized during work drinks

Gran lugar cuando el ajetreo de Amsterdam es demasiado y solo quieres una comida muy agradable en un entorno estupendo , cerca de los Hoteles y estaciones de tren con una tripulación de personal que es educado , acogedor y atento. La hostelería es de 10 / 10 y las Costillas , , sí las costillas , perfectamente cocidas, suculentas con gran variedad de bebidas para acompañar el menú.

Pleasant place, friendly staff, Dutch-style food 😜

Food and atmosphere was well received and great environment. Service can be improved but on the whole recommend dinning there.

Very nice evening! Cheers and see you next time

Great location and very friendly and fast staff. Can be a bit noisy if crowded but that’s to be expected. Had the Brave Classic Vegan burger which was delicious, I recommended it! (Special mention: get the baked potatos as a side!) Prices are fair too! Would definitely visit again.

Very good service. Sitting was good. Can bei quite noisy If busy. Food was OK. Prices on the edge.

Café in front of the station, good food, very friendly service. Excellent for a snack

Intentamos comer aquí el jueves por la noche 19 / 9 / 24 estaba ocupado, pero no lleno, pero dijeron que sería 2 horas, así que reservamos para el viernes por la noche, ya que nos alojamos en la carretera. El servicio no era genial nos quedamos en la entrada esperando a ser sentados, pero ningún personal tomó ninguna nota, así que tomamos asiento, no había necesidad de reservar, ya que estaba casi vacío. Como nota más positiva, la comida era buena, aunque los costos eran más altos de lo anunciado en línea.

A great place for a quick dinner. I had the chicken schnitzel, my brother the chicken satay, both for 23 euros per dinner. My chicken schnitzel was very small, I was given a second piece because the waiter also noticed this. The fries could be refilled. This was decent but very salty. The dish was fine, the chicken satay was a nice portion. The meat was tender. Price wise I thought it was quite expensive but not unexpected considering the location in Amsterdam. We ate 1 course.

Nos alojamos al otro lado de la carretera durante una semana para el gp holandés y vinimos aquí en el último día... Qué error, deberíamos haber venido aquí todos los días, pedí las costillas de barbacoa y quiero decir que eran tan perfectas que me las arreglé para comer la carne con un tenedor, se cayó del hueso. Ya estoy deseando más costillas. Gran lugar para comer y pasar el rato yo diría

I regularly have lunch or dinner here. Honest products with fair prices. Wide choice also nice. Super friendly staff and always enough people on staff.

Nice tent with friendly service. Had a cheesecake with coffee and it was like eating a spatula of cake batter. Had to stop myself from ordering another piece. Nice location too and you can sit outside almost all around.

Always nice and cozy to have a drink and a snack after work.

Truly excellent food and top staff 🔝

We visited this café on a rainy day, hoping to enjoy some apple pie and Chocomel. The Chocomel was served warm and tasted really good. However, when we tried to order the apple pie, we were told it was sold out for the day. This makes us suspect that they might use frozen goods, which was disappointing. Since we were waiting for a bus, we stayed for a while and kept ordering drinks. After some time, the staff asked us to leave, saying that a large group was expected soon. Strangely enough, that group never showed up, leaving us feeling like we were unfairly pushed out. Overall, the experience was quite disappointing.

¡Qué lugar tan bonito! No podría recomendarlo más. Peter y su equipo eran muy bienvenidos y serviciales. Tuvimos un almuerzo encantador (comida deliciosa) donde te hacen sentir como en casa que en el restaurante. Siempre que estemos de vuelta en Amsterdam lo estaremos visitando de nuevo.

Como todos los demás ya escribieron. Este es un lugar muy agradable para comer. El muchos contiene tanto una variedad de opciones tanto para no vegetarianos como para vegetarianos... Combina esto con un muy buen servicio, y tendrás una cena fabulosa. .

Came across this little gem by chance set in the middle of wild planting right outside Sloterdijk station. Excellent friendly service and superb food. Great location and nice ambience, all the staff were friendly and helpful, portions were generous and everything we tried on the menu exceeded our expectations.

Awesome food. We went as a group and all of them loved it.

Nice place good food but understaffed closeing timing very early by 10

Nice restaurant with good food, friendly service, clean sanitary facilities and a quiet atmosphere

Super nice staff, delicious coffee and very cozy. Doing!

Nice to have a relaxing drink after work, but it can sometimes be very busy here.

The service was attentive. My club sandwich looked more like a sandwich with ribbed chips on the side. Tasty in itself. My Texels Skuumkoppe had lost its foam while serving. The waiting staff made up for a lot.

Il cibo non è niente di eccezionale. Nemmeno il servizio è particolare, si tratta del solito bar con patatine fritte e Robe sud americane. Qualità mediocre.

Best place to go on Sloterdijk! Great food, nice atmosphere and kind service! Rocommend!

Great service! Fully 100% recremond the ribs with thier secret garlic sauce. OMG best sauce ive ever had
