Played 90 min boule and then had small plates for dinner - lots of veggie options. Taste and authenticity not amazing but pretty decent - great place for large groups!
⭐ 1 star – Very bad experience, never again!
Today we had a very bad experience at Café Gent aan de Schinkel. This was definitely the last time we went there.
We arrived around lunchtime to have something to eat with friends, but upon entering, the main entrance was completely blocked by a drinks delivery. There were stacks of crates of soda and beer everywhere, and the delivery drivers were throwing the crates right in the middle of the diners. The noise was immense and it went on and on—for a good twenty minutes—while everyone looked visibly irritated.
When my husband politely asked if this was going to take much longer and if this was the right time to make such a delivery in the middle of the café, we received a downright rude response from an employee, Kira (who didn't even speak Dutch). Her response was literally: "You don't have to be here." When he asked for a manager, she told us again that we could just leave.
We found this truly appalling behavior towards paying customers.
The cafe is also outdated, with dirty restrooms, and the prices are absurdly high—€25 for a simple Caesar salad!
In short: rude staff, bad atmosphere, poor hygiene, and way too expensive.
We'll never go back, and I advise everyone against eating here.
Nothing about this place is argentenian. The food is not cooked properly. The food is expensive and not cooked as asked. The food is rare or overcooked. I don’t know how this place has customers
Beautiful spring afternoon sunshine. Although the menu said bitterballen were available all day, it turns out they only serve it after 5:30 PM on Mondays, which is a bit of a shame if you're feeling hungry. The service is sometimes better than others. But as with all restaurants, finding good staff is a challenge.
Update May 24:
I went here for lunch and had a salad. A chicken Caesar. I was looking for the anchovies, as they were just leaves, with a half-boiled egg and dressing. When I asked, his initial response was: "There are no anchovies, that's the dressing." When I asked, "Why does it say it's on the menu under ingredients?" He then took the plate and came back with added anchovies.
Update Oct 24:
I wanted to give it another try. But the staff negated my decision.
On the terrace, I saw an Eighty-Four sign by the lamppost. I went to check it out with my dining companion, and they saved our pleasant afternoon. I'm not going to Milo's anymore. I gave them three chances. I'll walk another five minutes.
