La Place in Schiphol

I was very impressed with the quality. The guy at the register was very friendly and the food was good. Almost hard to believe this is at an airport.

Come on La Place! Over 8 euros for a sandwich with barely any filling! This isn't service! The medium cappuccino is so small that it should be standard! This is really ridiculous.

Counter full of flies, slow counter assistant who uses the same fork (!) to take aubergines, peppers, courgettes etc and place them on the sandwich full of hummus and then dirty the fork

The steak was good (medium). Didn't have to wait too long for the food. The knives for cutting the meat are on the blunt side. I didn't see any meat knives lying around. Perhaps it would be a good idea to offer meat knives.

The food is delicious, apple pie is incredible and the coffee very good As well! I didn't found any issue with this 3.2 rating place. Keep it up!

Way too expensive for what you get. The soup was simply tasteless. Pureed tomato with water. The sausage rolls hadn't been replenished and I was told it would be another fifteen minutes before they were. Otherwise, it was a filthy mess. Trash cans jammed full so you couldn't even clean up your own mess. At a place like this, you should have things better organized. And certainly for these ridiculous prices.

Tragic bread, excruciatingly sparsely topped

We had to wait a very long time for our burgers; it is a good thing I went to check myself, otherwise we would never have received the burger. The staff was very unmotivated and slow.

I have never had such bad food poisoning. Got a burger for dinner and a few hours later it hit me (I'll leave out the details). I have never been this sick in my life. Don't get food here.

This restaurant is located in Lounge 1 on the Schengen side of Schiphol Airport. It's a cafeteria style restaurant where you choose what you want, put it on a tray, and pay at the end. It's delicious. The tables are shared with other shops, so I bought beer from another shop and ate it there.

For years, we have had a firm tradition: whenever we go on vacation, we start our trip with a visit to La Place for a cup of coffee and a treat. We often end our vacation there upon our return as well. So, we have been coming here with pleasure for years. Lately, however, we have noticed that the quality is declining. The sandwiches are increasingly sparsely filled, while prices continue to rise. We find that unfortunate, but what we experienced today is even more worrying to us. During our visit, we saw various special offers with clearly stated prices. However, when we wanted to pay at the checkout, higher amounts were charged than the prices listed for the products (see attached photos). When we pointed this out to the cashier, she indicated that the system was set up that way and that she could not change it. According to her, we simply had to pay the higher amount. We find this misleading and unacceptable. If a product is offered at a certain price, a customer is entitled to trust that this price will also be applied at the checkout. The difference between the communicated price and the amount ultimately calculated causes confusion and creates a false impression of the actual costs.

Friendly service, good and enough tables inside and outside, airtport quality with airport prices.

Horrific. Terrible food, expensive dirty.

Overall i like here whenever I travel food is good and good priced for an airport. But!!! Yesterday an elderly couple got robbed in front of me inside the restaurant. This made me a bit worried how it is possible to be robbed insideee of an airport 😭

Disgusting, tough little bread roll with cheese and lettuce for 7 euros🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

Just ate a sandwich from yesterday here…

We had a tiramisu shake and watermelon slush here, sweetest drinks of our lives. Just plain sugar. Idk how people can even enjoy that :(

I tried the coffee and a croissnt here! Coffee tasted like dishwater, and the croissant was unedible. We tossed it all in the next bin!

Food is fresh .. juices and everything is nice.. however as airline staff they might deny the discount that they ought to give you .. if you are not carrying the physical card.. if you show them your Digital ID .. the attitude of the staff was I do not care !

For dinner, I wanted to get some food from the salad bar. The salad bar looked terrible. Half of the bowls were already empty, the hummus was gone (and was not allowed to be refilled), and many bowls had no serving spoons or spoons that were completely submerged in the sauces or vegetables. Very dirty; you can't pick anything up or serve yourself like that. There were also many empty tables that apparently weren't bothered to be wiped down, even though it was quite quiet at the time. It was impossible to find a clean table. For the sky-high prices you pay here, you would expect a more well-presented "restaurant." The staff was inconsistently grumpy or somewhat friendly. La Place, work on your service. This is not value for money.

Serving spoons are too filthy and greasy to touch, and the tables and floor are just very dirty. The food is pretty okay but very expensive for what you get, and at 6:30 PM I hear that nothing is being refilled anymore because it is the "end of the evening".

This used to be one of my favourite places to eat, which makes this even more disappointing. I returned my fries because they were mostly hard, inedible pieces and politely asked if they could be replaced. Instead of handling it professionally, I was told I had been given a “generous portion” and that the smaller bowl in the photo was what I should have received instead, which was then offered to me as the replacement. Poor customer service is one thing, but making a customer feel like they are asking for too much when raising a reasonable concern, and then intentionally penalising them for it, is another. Experiences like this are exactly why loyal customers stop coming back.

We stopped by for breakfast, and the staff were welcoming and helpful. The products were fresh (mango juice, strawberries, fresh oranges, etc.). It's perfect for breakfast.

Nice place to take a break with lots of chairs and it’s a food court

What terrible service, there are two somewhat older women, I think one is even the manager and the other isn't. This is the second time I've been here and they always speak to you in a grumpy tone, and even to their colleagues, it's terrible. This is definitely the last time I'll be coming here for now, awful.

Sandwiches are filled with thinner fillings, tables are not wiped down. And the service is terrible. Own staff are yelled at in front of customers, and if you are not careful, you pay for more sandwiches than you intended to pay for.

The waitress, JOLENE, made a mistake with the price of the food and instead of admitting the error, she simply denied it. Some superiors came and instead of helping, they simply didn't want to know. The food is very good, but with employees like that, be careful with your wallets.

I’m happy with good salad and roasted veggie options. Kinda hard to get lots of vegetables in a meal in crowded and fast food restaurants so I’m quite happy about that.

Just bought focaccia with marinated chicken and sprouts. My ‘to go’ sandwich here. What a disappointment! Super dry, half of the sauce missing. Also, lady at the counter seemed to be unhappy to speak any English…. I know it is Netherlands … but it is also an international airport so can’t expect people to speak a local language! Maybe best to choose the smaller La place at the end … if I will be back…

I would like to file a complaint regarding a situation at Schiphol Airport. I took a seat at a table that was not clearly marked as a staff area and was later informed that this area is accessible only to employees. There was no clear signage, which led to confusion. I request that you ensure better and clearer signage in the future.

Those new prices, oh dear. But still tasty 👍

The AH was just closing, so I went to La Place because that one was still open. Well, I have to say, it *was* open... thankfully, but the prices they charge are truly absurd, ANTI-SOCIAL... a bottle of water for €5... that's just not right. A 33cl beer for €5.50... not normal...

Alexander, a top employee, helped me well!!!

Food was pretty good! One thing I don’t appreciate too much is the automatic machine made coffees, spending €7 for an employee to press two buttons is kinda wack.. looks nice in there!

I wanted to eat the sandwich grilled in the toaster. Apparently they don’t have a toaster. Weirdly enough, there was a toaster just next to it. Not much chocolate in the chocolate milk either :-( The croissant with chocolate looked good though! De koffie was wel superb!!

I bought a juice that smelled and tasted bad. I immediately returned and informed the employees, who said everything was fine, ignoring my plea to exchange it for another one. I told them they could throw it away, that it was spoiled. As a La Place customer, I have never had problems at any of their other stores until today. I also work with food quality and customer service; I know very well when something is spoiled and how to proceed with customers in cases like this. I hope this doesn't happen to you if you decide to buy here.

Couple good healthy vegan options. But they had a deal and we grab the cup it said and they charged us $5 extra because it was apparently the wrong size but they aren't labelled and we spent time comparing cup sizes and still grabbed the wrong one.

I've been going to La Place for years and recently started working at Schiphol Airport, so I thought it would be perfect for grabbing a tasty sandwich on my way home. Unfortunately, my experience at the branch upstairs near the exit, across from the Starbucks (towards the buses/taxi stand), has been disappointing all week. I've been there several days in a row, and each time the service has been downright terrible. This older woman (dark skin, short hair, black glasses, usually stands alone at the counter) doesn't greet anyone, doesn't make eye contact, and exudes a completely disinterested attitude. As if customers are a burden. I initially thought maybe someone was just having a bad day, but this behavior was exactly the same every day. On the third day, I tried to pay cash, but the cash register wasn't working. The reaction I received was as if I were a burden instead of a customer. Today it was the same story again: no customer service whatsoever. Like, what are you supposed to do? I've worked for twenty years as a manager in the hospitality industry, from Michelin-starred restaurants to large grand cafés, and I know how important service, basic communication, and hospitality are. This behavior absolutely does not belong behind a counter, especially not at a location like Schiphol where hospitality is essential. I really hope this is addressed, because unfortunately, I cannot recommend this establishment at this level. This isn't a one-time blunder; it's the same every day. This behavior absolutely does not belong behind a counter. This employee is dragging the entire establishment down.

Had pea soup to start, really woopie delicious, well-filled soup with lots of meat, you don't find that anymore, compliments to the staff!!

Poor service, terrible product quality. Inedible brownie

I saw 2 rats inside. It was when they were closed but when I told the staff it sounded like they already knew and weren't concerned at all, even when I showed the video.

Food is decent but staff was super unhelpful. I burned my hand when serving soup, they saw it and completely ignored it. Then at the register you could clearly tell they did not want to be there.

Very expensive and bone-dry rolls with hardly anything on them; you're better off getting food somewhere else..

The “La Place”-concept is familiar. Salads, soups, sandwiches, burgers, juices, coffee, tea. But at this location, everything feels a bit… meh. Food is okay, but not memorable. Prices are airport-high, quality wise it doesn’t quite keep up. During busy moments, tables can feel messy and the space feels somewhat rushed. That said, credit where it’s due. The lady at the register was nice, friendly and genuinely helpful. Warm, patient and doing her best in a hectic environment. That human touch made the stop noticeably better! Good for a quick bite. Just be prepared to pay that very noticeable airport premium…

Everyone knows this, right? Whether small, medium, or large – you fill your bowl properly when you take salad and a hot side dish from a buffet. One bowl = one price. Makes sense. Not so in Amsterdam. There, the rule is: salad separate. Hot dish separate. You'll be told this politely but firmly at the checkout. The funny thing? You still pay per bowl. Specifically: One salad in one bowl → one bowl. One hot side dish in one bowl → another bowl. Both together? Absolutely not. The chicken leg, by the way, had its own identity. It almost needed a visa.

Around lunchtime, most of the sandwiches were gone. What was left was a barely filled sandwich with a smoothie for 11 euros. They really went overboard with the lime in the green smoothie. The pea soup was dried out and cold.

Very unhelpful and rude staff. Food was okay

If you hate your work, then don't do it. If I ask for the hot chocolate on the menu, I'm obviously not looking for just a cup of milk. Your attitude is non-existent.

What is it with so much service? A completely disinterested woman behind the counter who clearly prefers not to do this work. I ask for a little cold milk. No sir, we don't have that at La Place. Manager Yvonne comes along. And she can't/won't arrange it either. So apparently there's no carton of milk anywhere at La Place??? Or is there simply no desire? Because that's the impression you get from the staff.

I was there at around 22:30 pm, we ordered and the the lady there was very rude to us , the lady was a bit old and mad, we kept waiting for about 10 min just for a coffee while she was talking to someone else and having fun!!!, We only got our order after telling her that we are waiting and brought her attention back, And she replied in a rude way telling us that she doesn't care about our waiting time, this is extremely rude service and will never be here again.

A great food option at Schiphol Airport. Something I didn't see at other airports in some of the countries I visited in Europe. The vegan food section is delicious (salads, bread, snacks, natural juices, and more).

Cold, dirty wrap and a bottle of water: €12.16. Unacceptable, even for an airport.

Horrible service and food, not worth half the money...

The flat white is very watery; it barely has any coffee flavor. It's absolutely not worth the €4.95 price tag.

Hot meal in airport in quiet place for 20 Euro: after 17 o'clock burger, soup & fruit dessert.

Only some of the food I didn't like that much but otherwise nice restaurant

Mediocre quality sandwich. Instead of a flat white I got a lungo which I discovered only later.

Terribly expensive, so you want your money's worth... The ladies behind the counter chatter disinterestedly. Dirty tables, a woman walks at a snail's pace. I have no idea what she's doing. Maybe they should clean the tables. This can't be right because you have to wait for your flight... Next time, try a different company.

A place for a quick meal, they have several options, I had the sandwich, my wife preferred a vegetarian sandwich. Very good for waiting for someone arriving by train or plane and having a snack to pass the time.

The sandwiches are always delicious. Pricey, but definitely delicious! It's a shame the service is so terrible. There are long lines waiting for sandwiches, then there are trays laid out, and then nothing is replenished until the last sandwich is made. Even when you ask if you can have a sandwich, you're told to be patient... too bad, that really could be better.

Sandwiches dried out and very expensive.

You choose whatever you want from the buffet & bill it later. Incase you missed the breakfast at the hotel this is the place to go. Offers a make your own bowl salad (veg) burgers breads coffee juices (fresh&bottled) chicken & soups ..just enough for a hearty morning meal.

Cinnamon roll dry Cookies dry Apple pie was bland Cheese sticks were crackers

My vacation started at Schiphol Airport, where I bought an egg salad sandwich for almost 8 euros at La Place. It looked delicious, but unfortunately, the sandwich seemed two days old. It was so tough that I stopped eating it halfway through, feeling the pinch of a strained jaw. Such a shame. So much more could be made with very little effort. For that price, you'd expect a decent sandwich.

Wow the older cashier lady was SO rude to me and also her teenager colleague. It was abnormal Also it’s quite crowded bere difficult to find a place to sit

We had coffee, a sausage roll, and an egg salad sandwich here. The sausage roll was hard at the bottom. The coffee was weak. The egg salad was sour, and the roll didn't taste fresh. There were plenty of tables available, but it took a while to find clean laundry. I'm used to something completely different from La Place. We don't spend anything there anymore!

I don't think I will give this food to my dog, if I had one. Disgusting, industrial and had bowels issues right after. The young tenant at the kassa was nice, though

Airport food at airport prices!

My wife and I arrived here around 4:00 AM, waiting for our flight. The atmosphere isn't very pleasant or comfortable, but the sandwiches and soup they serve are okay. Very overpriced, but perfectly fine. For a coffee and a simple chicken sandwich with minimal sauce, we paid €13.46 per person. And it wasn't worth it. The coffee wasn't great, and the sandwich was quite plain and very simple. My chicken was also very dry because it had very little sauce.

AVOID La Place ...go to any of the other dozen restaurants in Schiphol Plaza. The staff looked unhappy and were obnoxious. Although the food is beautifully presented it is actually of very poor quality ...and either tasteless or not nice (smoothy, egg mayo sandwich, sausage roll - all horrible). Tea is issued in a large, heavy glass and difficult to hold when hot. In truth the croissant and jam was OK but you need to pay extra if you want a tiny packet of butter. Nice, reasonably clean seating area.

What a terrible cappuccino. Way too hot and tasted awful (burnt?). And from a vending machine for 4.60 😳. I'll just move on to another coffee to go.

They mess up the bowls to make you take the bigger size thinking you’re taking the small. Then ofc they charge you as the big size because you took a big size from the pile labeled as ‘small size’ but actually a big size. The employees apparently don’t really care. Felt like scammed

Dirty tables, everything sticks

I urgently needed to charge my phone to catch the bus home, as my debit card is on it. So, team leader Jamal helped me, who very kindly gave me a seat in the restaurant and lent me his charger. Very customer-friendly and super thoughtful!

Well, those glory days are long gone, but it's still delicious. La Place used to have generous portions of toppings (like the cream cheese), but now they literally weigh portions (I saw them weighing them). It's still delicious, but the charm has gone. And it's extremely expensive (9 euros for a sandwich).

The tomato soup was a bit bland but still good. There weren't many smoothie options (only two), but otherwise it was okay.

Buffet style restaurant, quite expensive for the amount / quality. Seating in a loud, full area. The staff was short but helpful when answering questions.

Coffee very very bad taste. Terrible terrible

What will La Place do about the terribly bad, weak coffee, which they also (eventually) made for us? I think there are enough bad reviews to do something about! We also encountered three lovely young ladies who were very focused on each other instead of the line. At Schiphol, people want to catch their train/plane, etc., quickly.

Great, nice and attentive staff.

Delicious, man, scallion sandwich. I had an egg salad sandwich, but it was so full of scallions that you couldn't taste the egg salad at all. The orange juice was fine, but the sandwich was a throwaway. And that for only €7.50.

What can you say about La Place? Not much. Way too expensive. 40% more expensive than the regular La Place!

Not interested in people, only concerned with himself.

Cappuccino was lukewarm. What a disappointment for a first cup of coffee back in the Netherlands

We had a fresh salad for breakfast and a tuna sandwich that tasted good.

Way too expensive for old sandwiches

Excellent food and good service at Schiphol Airport. The place is a bit chaotic, typical of an airport, but with patience you can find a table.

We witnessed today a mouse walking between the soup and sandwiches. Was so shocked that we immediately left.

I had a salad with potatoes, broccoli, finely chopped carrots and bell peppers. The potatoes were raw. Really raw. The rest too, but you can eat that raw without any problems. But raw potatoes are poisonous!

I am shocked by the rude and awful service I received at La Place. I gave the cashier working, €7 to cover the cost of my baguette however she accused me of only giving her €5. I knew I gave her the correct amount as I had prepared the cash before arriving at the counter however she proceeded to insist I didn’t pay the correct amount. I have to assume she pocketed the amount so I gave her the additional €2 she insisted I didn’t give. Once I gave her the additional €2 she continued yelling at me that if I had the money the whole time, why didn’t I hand it over? I told her I had another €2 with me. She continued yelling at me as I walked away. Disgusted by my experience!

La Place is our favourite restaurant especially in travel days. I strongly recommend the cheeseburger with fries. When you eat your foods with some alcohol, it will make you ready for the flight 😊

Was Not possible to order due to the Missing products

Great salad bar with lots of options.

Bad experience with customer service! We got extra drinking glasses when we filled up for more water, and one staff came over and scolded us. We were tourists and were not aware of such “rules”, there were also no clear signs at the place where we collected the glasses, I don’t think it was fair and very nice to do to your customers. However food was decent overall. Will not come back again for this kind of customer service though.

Only reason to go is the line everywhere else is too long and moving slowly. I got a wrap, a sandwich and some potatoes. Oversauced, poorly made, underseasoned...i regret not waiting in the line for something else.

I'm sure I'm back in the Netherlands - you'll get robbed - a second-rate rubber sandwich that you pay top dollar for, dressed as if it's richly filled but there's nothing on the inside.

Had a flat white coffee. No coffee to be found in it. No flavour at all🤮

For this location a good but simple option for something to eat.

There were three men and 1 was serving. Although there was a line, the others did nothing. The cappucino doesn't taste like anything and costs €5. Very bad. I will never go to a La Place again 🫣

What a pity that you don't offer milk substitutes... we just went to Stach's for a cup of coffee.
