Restaurant has since last year new owners. The service and the restaurant is now a lot better. With the last owner it couldn't be worse :-(
Still the menu is very simple. The service is not bad but also not very flexible. So for the food you don't have to come but situated at the IJsselmeer lake its absolute an advice to vist it. It's also posible to take an drink.
3. Kriti

Reviewed By vnijhof - Purmerend, The Netherlands
We love Greek food and also think it important that in addition to the quality of the food that the people are just as nice as in Greece. Kriti is a restaurant that really give that Greek feeling. The food is good and affordable, the staff is super friendly and always cheerful and humorous. You feel that this restaurant has a heart and soul, because if you walk in you are just in a different world. Erol, Ali Kerem, Teena always give you that warm feeling and are always ready for their guests. For us this is one of the best Greek restaurants in the region.

Don’t bother wasting your time and energy here particularly if you are only in Volendam for a short period. The restaurant was only around 40% full yet the staff took far too long to order our food and didn’t acknowledge us. When we ordered the food, we then waited 40 minutes!!! Ridiculous considering the restaurant was not at all busy. We needed to leave and as soon as we stood up, they bought the food out. The food itself was less than average. Because of this we didn’t get time to explore Volendam. Wouldn’t recommend.

This review needs some explanation, because my overall rating is still average. Stay tuned...
Location
This restaurant is situated right of the N247 road from Hoorn to Amsterdam. The bus station is right across the street, which makes this restaurant an ideal location.
Food
The food is really good. We stayed for lunch and it was really well made. The best part was that the prices asked for this were reasonable. I would expect much higher prices and was enthusiastic that this place was not driven by price.
Atmoshpere
The outside and inside are well decorated. The chairs are comfortable. Nevertheless, we were directed to a part of the restaurant that was more for Reading, chatting, etc. The table was a large table with newspapers and magazines on it. It was not the typical 'eating out' / having lunch style. It was unclear to me as to what their reasoning was. I openly discussed this situation with my wife, upon which the waitress commented: "Sir, if you don't appreciate what we offer, please feel free to leave.". You might want to draw your own conclusions from this. Eventually my wife was happy enough and we decided to have lunch anyways. The food was worth it... the remarks and the setting was not.
Wrapping up lunch
Payment was made easily and swiftly. It looked like the waitress felt somewhat silly over what she did on arrival, but did make any further comment
In conclusion
Food wise and price wise I would recommend this location to you. When it comes to atmosphere and especially the setting that we were offered, I would try to find something else.

I really liked this place. Simple and pretty authentic. It's also extremely reasonably priced.
The menu is good, in fact some Americans at the next table asked the beef could be be left out of their tagliatell with beef tenderloin (?) the waitress merely asked if there was anything else they would prefer as a substitute for the meat! I was most impressed. All our dishes were terrific, the vegetarian calzone my mother-in-law ordered being particularly good.
Due to an unexpected heavy rain shower we had to move from the Terrace indoors. This was accomplished efficiently and with a minimum of fuss. Full marks for that too.
The restaurant is connected to a bruin cafe, Cafe de Gevangenpoort, also a nice place for an afternoon or evening drink.
We'll definitely return if we're in the area, apart from anything else I want to try the rest of the menu.

Cozy restaurant in the centre of Edam. All things in the restaurant are for sale, even the chairs and tables.
Reviewed By mkno8759 - Lismore, Australia
After walking all over Edam we had chosen this place due to the fabulous eclectic window displays we had seen on our journey and upon entering hours after we still enjoyed the eclectic decor inside.
Staff very friendly drinks were cold but I ordered the "Irish beef" hamburger and yes I think it was a joke but I was not laughing. Definitely a frozen very thin patty 2 very small pieces of tomato and a sad piece of lettuce. The roll was too crunchy on the outside from being in the oven too long. €12.95 not worth it even with the chips. Hubby asked for the Edam with dark till ended up with a white baguette instead and 2 pieces of Edam a little tomato and lettuce he said enough to taste €8. High prices for what was served.keep it fresh like the staff. Rhabks

We were so impressed with our evening at this wonderful place, that we went back again for our second night in Edam. Henk and his staff explained the "secret" menu to us, which we were delighted with. We had the meat option on the first night and i went for the fish the second night. The atmosphere/service was first class on both evenings, and the food was both immaginative and delicious. We left feeling full and satisfied. We will definately return on our next visit to this area. Thanks guys for two memorable evenings.John and Alex xx
