Grandcafé Maze in Nieuw-Vennep

Amsterdam Schiphol is one of the busiest airports in Europe. I visited mid week in September, when the queues for security were ridiculous, and I had several hours to kill. Therefore I was wandering around, and followed the signs to the panorama terrace. I found a nearly empty area on the roof of the airport, with an excellent view of the gates and taxiways. A few long-lens plane spotters were snapping the movements, and some other lost souls were enjoying the sun and various benches dotted around. I also went into the attached bar. I think this has only recently reopened, since it was still being renovated, and the staff seemed very surprised to have a customer! Most of the patrons appeared to be airport employees using it as an unofficial office. I had an acceptable Cappuccino, and two tasty beers, and very much enjoyed the quiet. If you are looking for somewhere quiet away from the crowds, with fantastic views, I recommend a visit.

After long overseas flight and a long layover I decided I needed a drink. Found this place that served both drinks and some food. Had a Heineken (medium) and an apple bandit cider, never heard of it, but it was fantastic. And the small pizza hear was tasty. Great little stop to refuel for your flight.

Cozy atmosphere. Great service and delicious food. Highly recommended!

At the end of the B-pier there is a pleasantly busy kiosk for a last good coffee before leaving for Frankfurt on B35.

The taste was okay, but not worth the price.
