Reviews of Zenders Cafe and Venue
T.
Nice place and atmosphere, inside. Totally different story outside, plain hot in the middle of summer day. Maybe looks nice for functions, but it was plain next to nothing to see besides car park and corn fields.
From what I tasted: Bami (fried noodle) - not much else beside the obvious curry flavour. Totally let down the whole 'Dutch' style of fried noodle expectations. I have tasted better instant Mi Goreng (Indomie) that was made in 2 minutes or less, drunk. And what's with the 5-6 pieces of plain steamed (?) chicken for extra $5+? And to make matter worse, they dump in lots of vegies, that cucumber really washed out the miniscule flavour it has to begin with. You also can't call that 2-3cm pieces of noodle -if 'noodle' has minimum length requirement. 2/10
The Kroket maybe my highlight of the day. Lovely beef taste and mayo side 8/10.
Loaded potato - nothing special, just bunch of generic thick cut chips topped with some sauce that gone by the 1st layer of potato. 6/10.
Beside the food, they have great staffs and very friendly service. 10/10 on that department.

Nice cafe with comfortable indoor and outdoor seating. Place is well decorated and the outside gardens are beautifully kept. The inside dining room is full of natural light and has lots of windows offering lovely views of the grounds.
Lots to choose from on the menu and a small cabinet selection. I enjoyed the mushroom medley and an iced latte, good espresso. If you’re looking for something new/different in Hamilton, I would say this is a great spot for any special occasion. I subtracted 1 star as I feel the prices are slightly higher than similar offerings in Hamilton.
There is ample parking, clean toilets and they offer wifi.

It takes a lot to please me as a fussy eater, very happy with my brunch. I had the mini breakfast. It was very tasty. Only downside was no butter for the toast.
The lil ginger nut with the coffee was full of flavour. Yummy.

Kapsalon was great, a lot nicer than the genuine ones in NL!

Lovely place for breakfast! Had their French Toast with fresh strawberries and blueberries which was really nice. They had a variety of options including vegetarian which my friend had. Service was good as well. Would definitely visit again.

Thanks for a top lunch in your beautifully decorated European cafe. It was lovely to hear the family and building history from Cristina.

Update after two years: The food has improved and we had a pleasant lunch here. Some of the staff still feels somewhat inexperienced, however, they are friendly and helpful. I think we put this place back on our list of restaurants.
Previous review:
I like the building very much as it looks very authentic and it has a relaxing and pleasant look and feel inside. The staff is super friendly and helpful, especially as the restaurant is still in the process of establishing itself (e.g., some food options were not available and WiFi not working).
I was very disappointed that there are hardly any Dutch or even European items on the menu. Most of the offered food you can get in any NZ restaurant (e.g., carrot cake, scones, poached eggs on toast, caesar salad). For example, I would have expected cheese and bread on the menu and more Dutch-style cakes in the cabinet.
I very much hope that they'll adjust their menu to be more authentic Dutch/European. Otherwise, there is no real reason to eat there -- having super-friendly staff is good but not enough.
