Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The best restaurant in Zaandam. The quality of the meat is great as well as the cooking level that you ask for. The staff is polite and friendly and always available. The atmosphere is chill and relaxing, both outside and inside. Highly recommended.

We have been coming to Castell on the Zuiddijk in Zaandam for years now and we have been more than satisfied every time. The atmosphere created by Ozgur and Mascha, especially in combination with the fantastic food, always makes us long for the next visit. Tjipke and Danny are also a permanent factor in the kitchen and they help provide the delicious dishes. You can eat a la carte, or go for a surprise menu, but it is always great. We hope Castell stays for years to come!!

Eating out at Castel for the first time!
Delicious food, good tender carpaccio and beef tenderloin 300g with delicious pepper sauce. Excellent service with the old-fashioned traditional top service! We will definitely come back!

You have so much choice, and then you guess this restaurant! What a hidden gem, service was hospitable and despite it being busy and not enough staff, we as guests did not notice anything. Top restaurant with good and honest cuisine, the chefs who assisted in the service. Had a very nice evening and enjoyed it

We went to this wonderful place this evening. We had a reservation, but at our request, they kindly seated us 45 minutes early. They were helpful and kind. Owner and waiters are impeccable. They pampered us throughout dinner. Dinner was delicious, we had two really tasty meat dishes.
They have a really well-stocked wine list.
Even the Espresso was as good as in Italy!
If we return to Zaandam we will definitely stop here!

Because this Steak House was was so good, I had to add a review. Me, my wife and our friends stayed in Zaandam and booked ahead as the reviews were pretty good. I can honestly say it lived up to its reputation, great service from the staff & very attentive.
We loved it & we will be back

We happened upon this restaurant without a booking after arriving late in Zaandam. For a group of 5 they were more than welcoming and made room for us. The food was amazing. With a selection of steaks available. The staff were extremely attentive and we were well looked after.

For our 53rd wedding anniversary we chose the Castell, which was within walking distance of our hotel. The restaurant exuded a cozy atmosphere and impressed with competent, friendly service and good cuisine. The wine selection is manageable, but offers a small selection of European wine-growing regions, so that you can definitely find something suitable.
A successful evening

We are looking for a new fine dining place after our regional favorite closed down. Considering the reviews on TripAdvisor we booked here and we loved it. Service by the friendly staff was great, spacing between the courses was perfect and most of all the food was delicious. The wine list is not extensive but there is something for every taste. What’s also important is that there is a large car parking area within a couple of minutes walk from the restaurant. So although being in the old part of Zaandam parking is fine. Finally my main course, grilled tuna, was perfect. I asked for it to be cooked rare and that’s exactly how I got it. My companions all had calf entrecôte with a Roquefort sauce and they too were happy. So for us it’s definitely a restaurant to come back to when we are in The Netherlands next.

This is an excellent restaurant with superb service. The food quality is impeccable and the portions generous.
What really set our experience apart was the service. The owner made us feel special and was generous with his time. We loved his story about where a particular wine came from (a delightful Italian Syrah, very different from the big robust Shiraz we’re used to in Australia!) The other staff were also terrific and the lass who took our coats was very encouraging towards my attempts at speaking Dutch!
This was more than just a meal; it was a special experience that will remain a highlight of our holiday in Netherlands.

What a unique place to go and enjoy a great meal. The set up without tables makes for a great atmosphere whether you’re there for a business dinner or to hang with friends. The food and service were both amazing, and sitting on the couch with my food on my lap made me feel like I was home on my couch ready to enjoy a meal while watching a game. My steak was perfection!
