Joseph aan de Poel in Wijk 00 Aalsmeer

The food was delicious and the place and location are beautiful. The service was excellent.

We had a truly delicious meal there today! Trout was on the menu of the day. It was so fresh it looked like it had just jumped into the pan. Deliciously prepared, and the service was super friendly.

Dear reader, If you're looking for a restaurant with good food and friendly, respectful service, this isn't the place for you. We've been going here for years, but unfortunately, the quality of the food is increasingly disappointing. The food often doesn't taste fresh anymore; it feels like it's been sitting around or cooked for a while. We once sent a dessert back and received an apology. We kept coming back because of the pleasant atmosphere and the beautiful terrace. Today (Sunday evening, August 10th), unfortunately, that was also disappointing. We won't be going back for a while. It was busy, and they forgot part of our order—that happens. We repeatedly mentioned that we were missing something. Finally, an unfriendly waitress brought a modified version of our dish and told us that "it had been ready for a while." When we pointed out that it wasn't quite what we wanted, she loudly announced, on a crowded terrace, that "this is what they have and that's how they're serving it." We felt unwelcome and uncomfortable. We decided to leave almost immediately. When we called her to ask for the bill, she looked us straight in the eye and then walked right past us. Her behavior was also noticed by the surrounding tables. This didn't give us a good feeling. We eventually went inside to pay ourselves, skipping dessert and coffee. If you're looking for a restaurant with good food and friendly service, this isn't the place for you. It's worth mentioning that the other staff here are always friendly. However, because of this woman's behavior, we'll be going elsewhere from now on.

Very nice establishment on the waterfront, very pleasant with perfect service and excellent dishes. If you are passing through the area, it is worth stopping by.

Great quiet place with good food and amazing atmosphere. Right by the water and it an amazing place to chill with friends and family. Service here is amazing.!

Last month I dined at Joseph aan de Poel in Aalsmeer. The location is beautiful – you're right on the water, and in good weather, the view is definitely a plus. The interior is stylish and modern, and the restaurant clearly exudes ambition. The service was friendly, but not always helpful. We had to wait quite a while for a simple bottle of water and a glass of wine, and when we asked for the dessert menu after dinner, it didn't arrive, so we simply asked for the bill and went to get some ice cream. That slowed the pace of the evening down a bit. The food was good, but not particularly memorable. The presentation of the dishes was well-presented. The portions were also generous. All in all, it wasn't a bad experience, but not one I'll remember for long either. A beautiful location, reasonable quality, but still some room for improvement in terms of service and refinement. I would return for drinks by the water, but I don't think I'll return for dinner anytime soon.

First week with a waiter. Took a bit longer. Friendly service. Cappuccino okay, nothing special. Satay and caprese salad were tasty. Seating was great. Beautiful view. Recommended.

We had a fantastic host for lunch last Saturday. We ate with a friend and my daughter at a cozy round table by the water. It was nice to have a chat and they cared for us. The food was good! A little tip: my daughter had the children's menu, which includes ice cream. It would have been nicer if it were a scoop of ice cream with a wafer and a sprinkle instead of a treasure chest on a plate (you can also get that at the snack bar). Otherwise, it was fantastic, we'll definitely be back!

A really nice place, both inside and outside. The food is delicious and the staff is very friendly. I love coming here!

A good variety in food, could be some more diversity over time for the locals. But excellent service, and a good vibe.

We had a wonderful meal and enjoyed the service, which was also excellent and very friendly. Highly recommended!

Beautiful location. The food is quite expensive, but it's very tasty and certainly sufficient. We had a delicious lunch. The terrace is great. We did have to wait 15 minutes for sparkling water because the computer was malfunctioning. Those kinds of arguments make me itch. But oh well. The food is delicious, and if there's no malfunction, it will definitely be faster.

Good food, friendly staff and good service, celebrated mother's birthday very nice, nice restaurant

A suitable place for a business lunch inside. Cozy, quiet, delicious food. I had a very nice Zalm Salad Sandwich, never have ever had such a wonderful before.

Very relaxing environment, friendly staff, and delicious food!

Delicious food and very friendly staff.

If you find it you will enjoy. Great location, food and staff

We often came here, because of the good location. But they are so unfriendly to customers!! Very bad service! Too bad, there were often, for us the last time, there are places in Aalsmeer where it is much better! After the above review we had contacted the restaurant with an apology. Completely fine and I thought yesterday, I have not made a reservation and first walk inside to ask if there is still a place to have lunch. Under the guise, I often came here and let's try it again. Friendly girl in the bar shows us a table and indicates that it is still possible to have lunch. We sit down at a table and then another waitress comes to our table and says, have you made a reservation. We say no but the lady inside indicated that we could still sit at this table. Yes! But you have to make a reservation and then we tell her that we know that, but that this was a spontaneous action and that we asked nicely inside and did not just sit at a table. Then she repeated that we should have made a reservation, but with the grace of God she allowed us to stay... we felt really uncomfortable. Just ordered a cup of tea, skipped lunch, because we didn't feel welcome at all. What happened to the once so hospitable Joseph a/d Poel. What a shame!!

We come here often. Now had a crispy chicken sandwich. There was more lettuce and coleslaw than chicken. And then the sandwich is very expensive

Delicious food. As a starter I ate the Gyoza's chicken which tasted good. After this I ordered the Seabass fillet. This was a generous portion and also very tasty. I topped off the evening with a delicious Brownie. The chocolate flowed out like syrupy magma. A pleasure to eat! The staff was also very friendly and the atmosphere was good. Definitely recommended.

Were there with colleagues for a team dinner. Definitely a nice place for a group. Good food and friendly service

Recommended because of the good food and top location. The staff was very friendly.

Wij hebben beide de Caesar salade besteld. De prijs/ kwaliteit was niet in verhouding. De salade moest 24.50 euro kosten. Door dit bedrag hadden wij hoge verwachtingen gekregen, maar helaas was het een zeer simpele salade met weinig fantasie bereid. Vors aan de prijs maar geen smaak. Er zat niet eens parmezaanse kaas in de salade. Ook de ansjovis ontbrak. De croutons waren groot en droog, ze bleven in onze keel hangen. Echt zonde van ons geld!!!

Unexpectedly discovered and very enthusiastic!! What a nice location on the water. Two evenings enjoyed on the terrace with nice service, beautiful view, but above all delicious food. Gluten-free is well taken into account with cross-contamination and plenty of options. The only pity is, no gluten-free fries (maybe a separate fryer!?🙏) but fine alternatives.

Great food en service, nice view on the lake. Possibility for boatdocking while dining!

Geweldige avond gehad op het terras, wat een toplocatie!! Bediening was erg behulpzaam en vriendelijk, met name Marlotte en Lisanne zijn zeker een aanwinst voor deze zaak. En oja, het eten was heerlijk.

Weer waanzinnig lekker gegeten Top bediening Absolute aanrader Ga zo door Wij komen zeker vaker Prime locatie En tot snel

Beautiful location on the water

Wat een leuke avond gehad, met dank aan de gezellige bediening. Met name Marlotte was ontzettend leuk, meedenkend en behulpzaam. We komen zéker nog een keer terug

An excellent, very quiet and very beautiful place, one of the best in Aalsmeer. Very polite staff. Thank you

Nice place to sit by the water. Food is fine

Wow what a location. The tuna steak, the steak steaks, and the burgers are great. Parking is a bit of a challenge as this is on the water. Dessert sampler was also excellent.

Remove 1 table from the sofa and people who come with 2 people will have more privacy. I have now become very annoyed with the people sitting right next to me.

Simply great! Tournedos with sambal gravy delicious

Always cozy and delicious food and friendly service, so enjoy!!

Just what you can expect during lunch in a bistro. Friendly and correct service and not over the top. The crowd was a bit blah blah, especially in the parking lot.

I came in here by accident and I didn't regret it one bit! Good food, good vibes, the servers were amazing and they spoke in english helping me out lots! Would totally recommend and would be coming back here again soon and in the future!

Very dark inside, service ladies very friendly, manager (I think) not very friendly and short fuse. Tournedos medium turned out to be well done and weighed barely 100 grams. Satay dry, a bowl of vegetables as a side dish was nothing more than a dish with 5 pieces of vegetables for 6 euros. Location is beautiful in nice weather. We were warned that many cars are being broken into, so don't leave any valuables behind. It seems like a small effort to turn it into a guarded parking lot? Prices are quite high, so that should be possible. It was our first and last time here. There are better places in the area where you get much more value for your money.

Went here to celebrate my partners birthday, everything was just amazing, the food, the service and the atmosphere as for the Cheesecake well sp far it's the best I've had in Holland, so will be back again 😋

Nice parking at the beautiful lake view! food and service all wonderful ;)

What a beautiful and pleasant place to enjoy a cup of coffee or something delicious to eat. It is wonderfully located on the water, When it is summer this will probably be very nice to sit on Service is very friendly

Cozy atmosphere. Tasty food. Busy on Monday. Varied offering. Traditional, but presented in a modern way. Nice at the harbour. Just look around to get there, it's worth it.

Delicious food, the game menu was excellent!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Joseph aan de Poel in Aalsmeer, and it was an experience worth sharing! Nestled by the water, the restaurant offers a cozy, charming ambiance that instantly sets a relaxed and inviting mood. For starters, I tried the garlic mushrooms, which were perfectly sautéed, earthy, and flavorful, with just the right amount of garlic to elevate the taste. I followed it with the risotto, a creamy and comforting dish with a beautiful texture that was both rich and delicately balanced. The service was attentive without being intrusive, and the restaurant’s overall atmosphere added to the dining experience. Whether you’re looking for a relaxing dinner with friends or a romantic evening, Joseph aan de Poel is an excellent choice in Aalsmeer. I’ll definitely be returning!

Nice spot for a nice lunch. Knowledgeable and kind service.

Beautiful surroundings, nice view, very customer friendly, very good service and fantastic food. Price - quality very good.

Good is OK. Light menu for lunch. Nice view

We ate dinner here and had a great experience. Excellent service, the food quality was superb and it was nice to sit outside with a view of the harbor. I had the tuna tartare tacos with some veggies on the side and the hubby ordered the steak. Both wonderful choices. Would always return here or recommend this place to anyone in the area.

The atmosphere inside and outside is chill and harmonic next to the water. Good menu, friendly and fast service.

Delicious food and a nice location on the marina.

Terrace cozy. Delicious frozen Martini P. Cocktail. Fish and chips surprisingly tasty due to the use of a different type of fish. Oysters: tasty, but enjoyment was somewhat spoiled by a large amount of vinegar in the shell. Normally you get vinegrette on the side. Also some shell pieces mixed in, so grit your teeth...

A summer Sunday evening with friends for dinner at Joseph aan de Poel, attractive location, friendly and helpful service. The dishes look and taste good, the salmon was on the salty side and the rack of lamb was tasty but a bit 'woolly'. The tongue a little too well done. The starters were very ok, the watermelon in particular was surprising and original. Dessert equally good. The price-quality ratio is somewhat out of balance at €80 per person.

Sat here last Monday. Choice of various tables in/out of the sun, around 12.30 pm. Good, nice service. Food was good. Steak could have been a little bigger. Toast with steak tartare was thin crostini, but too hard for me to eat. Still worth repeating in nice weather/

Very tasty food and nice place!

VIP spots at a normal restaurant are a bit strange

Very tasty, reservation recommended

A lovely place with a view over the water. Tastefully decorated inside and the food is good

Delicious food and very cozy interior, also a beautiful terrace on the water. We come here regularly and it's my friend's favorite!

Unfriendly atmosphere, poor price-quality ratio for lunch.

Gisteravond heb ik hier voor het eerst gegeten met 3 vriendinnen. Allereerst wil ik zeggen dat de lokatie, de inrichting en bediening prima was! Het eten daarentegen was onder de maat zeker voor wat je moet betalen. Allereerst de Aperol Spritz: geserveerd in een relatief klein glas met veel ijsblokjes en dat voor 10 euro. We hadden 3 voorgerechten 'to share'. 2 waren prima alleen de watermeloen met geitenkaasmousse was zeer karig en weinig. 6 kleine stukjes meloen met weinig mousse en dat voor 15 euro 2 van ons hadden mosselen besteld, deze waren nogal klein. Er werd een klein bakje frites en salade (voor 2 personen) bij geserveerd. De sla was karig, 3 cherrytomaten en verder niks. Een vriendin had een burger die ze ook niet fantastisch vond. Voor 50 euro pp mag je een betere kwaliteit verwachten. Voor ons een eenmalig bezoek

Sit by the water and eat. Friendly service. Parking was a bit busy at 6pm for a Wednesday afternoon

Had the business dinner here, but I can imagine having a romantic dinner with my wife as well. Great place.

We really enjoy having lunch here! Especially when the weather is nice, you can sit by the water. The Joseph's special is recommended. Dining is also fine, but pricey. I have also had ice-cold carpaccio several times, which still seemed half frozen. Furthermore, really great and always friendly help!

When we come here we take the Côte de Boeuf Grain Fed. The meat is of a different quality than we are used to, I would actually give this 3 stars, but because it is well dressed with some vegetables and mashed potatoes and chimmichurri, I still give the whole 4 stars. It is a beautiful restaurant with nice seating areas outside on the terrace and inside. Staff is friendly but was not visibly present on a regular basis, this was also the case earlier when we were there. Hence the 3 stars.

Great atmosphere and service team! Yummy burgers, lamb chops and the starters are brilliant especially the tuna tartare !!!

€78 eu voor een lunch voor 2 p. Broodje burrata zag er mooi uit, de zelfgemaakte pesto is heerlijk maar bij carpaccio ofzo... bij burrata mis ik de goede extra vierge olijfolie. De Eveleens paling, top van smaak maar voor €21,50 TE karig, de aioli een complete aanfluiting.. hamburgersaus ofzo. Wij gaan voor dit geld niet terug

Great place, nice atmosphere, but the food is always a bit disappointing. Now had a simple sandwich and it was also prepared very simply, while the price suggests that the quality is better than simple. In short, the price-quality ratio is out of balance. The place is nice, nothing more than that, and that probably makes up for the price. It's overpriced now!!!

It's happened to all of us at some point. You go to a place to eat to relax during an emotional time. The last thing you need is to give feedback about the quality of the food. "Is everything to your liking?" Are you answering "yes" because you think leave me alone. 4 half-cooked asparagus with a few slices of warmed ham, half a boiled egg... And... a bowl of warm sunflower oil. Price: 26.50 At the end I was told that it was really bad... the oil was a mistake by the kitchen. “May I offer you a cup of coffee?” Of course girl. Bye

Cozy atmosphere, beautiful decoration, very colorful. In the summer a lovely terrace on the water. The food is very good, so highly recommended

Had a lovely lunch with them all. Nice location, but I think it's a shame that you didn't have oat milk for a latte or cappuccino... .

We had a delicious meal with the staff of Zorggroep Aelsmeer, thank you for the conviviality and good service. Will definitely come back.

Great place to take clients for lunch.

Always good service and good food 😊

While the service was great, I find the current menu less enticing. A bit disappointing

Nice place to stay. Fair prices. And it's always nice to be on the water. Service is done with a smile.

Delicious food and beautiful sunset upon arrival

Wat een heerlijke plek, service en de nieuwe kaart is een echte aanrader! Echt een plek waar je heen moet gaan. Mega fijn geholpen door het lieve personeel

Heerlijke plek om. te lunchen (en dineren). Mooi gelegen, vriendelijk personeel, leuke sfeer en lekkerf lunch (dagspecial met zalm, garnalen en paling). Aanrader!

Great meal again! We are enthusiastic about the food, the service and the atmosphere. Next time...

Lunch with 4 persons just after Christmas. Good food and nice service. Nice location as well!

Delicious food, top service and super nice location. Highly recommended 😁

Celebrated a nice Christmas Eve with six people. Excellent care by the staff and delicious food. Recommended.

Beautiful and cozy restaurant on the water. Super service and delicious food

Not the nicest date, but the food and breakfast were good.

Ate for 12 hours. It was surprising and delicious. The flat white coffee also excellent.

Very nice and good restaurant. Quality and friendly service. Just thought it was very full of tables.

Very tasty food. We had the sharing dinner. Was more than enough. Starter was very tasty, main menu was okay. Dessert was too sweet for my taste. All in all we had a lovely evening

What a cozy interior, friendly staff and delicious food. After seeing reports I didn't know what to expect, but we had a very good experience. Worth repeating.

I have been living in Aalsmeer for 15 years, and last week I went to Joseph for the first time. The food certainly did not disappoint. Both the food and the interior are also very tasteful! But there was one point that the evening made. And that is the service. I have rarely been treated so well at a dinner party. Even when it was completely full, a certain Daniël served us wonderfully. A few minutes after the starter, the table was cleared again and we could start with the main course. Truly excellent. Thank you for this beautiful Daniël and the rest of the team. You'll see me again soon!

Straight from a flight from the UK and in for dinner. Very lazing even though very busy. Great food, served well.

Excellent place to enjoy lunch/dinner at the waterfront. This time I had the red curry, simply gobbled it down😇

Always delicious food and friendly staff.

Food was okay, but not my favorite, I'll be back, all very ordinary. Home quality. Steak tartare was great. Service was good and attentive Location is great, nice view, neat place.

Great food but the service is not the best. I would expect more from such an expensive restaurant.

Had a delicious meal after seeing the pram race on the Westeinderplas

What an attitude, rudeness and lack of manners!!! Please guys before you open restaurants and serve people food educate your team. Teach your employees how to interact and have the minimum of respect.

Had a lovely Birthday meal here with family, highly recommended and will definitely be coming back.

Had a small party on Sunday afternoon. Great success. Nice location and kudos to the service. The food was excellent.

Nice service and excellent food
