That plus the staff here are extremely friendly and they are pretty generous with portion sizes. Had late lunch with my brother here and we enjoyed our food. He had the moussaka (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/fUY_OBBj1LO_Ws0NqXvjMg?select=r-no1g0VDWwNr8cbgy4wFw#tEdTEe_WSVgPaEDsc9mGcA) which was adequately rich and decadent. All the things you expect from the creamy Béchamel sauce of a moussaka... but also served with a generous side of rice, fries, and salad (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/fUY_OBBj1LO_Ws0NqXvjMg?select=r-no1g0VDWwNr8cbgy4wFw#GcdaYAqTcnfRwgm-JtbI3A). I had a seafood salad (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/fUY_OBBj1LO_Ws0NqXvjMg?select=r-no1g0VDWwNr8cbgy4wFw#r-no1g0VDWwNr8cbgy4wFw) which was on the appetizer menu but it's a generous serving of seafood - mussels, shrimp, and calamari that reminds me of a ceviche but a steal at under 5€. A perfect fresh and light snack. Olympia is a decent eatery in Enschede. It's tourist-friendly with a English menu and their prices are fair. Like most places around, they have Dagmenu specials for around 8€ and from what I saw, they were pretty big plates. Coupled with friendly service, Olympia is a charming place to relax and watch the day go by.

Portion size is decent and well seasoned. However don't expect good service from the restaurant. It's hard to flag down the staff when things aren't good (like missing drinks and didn't take the orders from a few individuals). What irritated me the most is that they don't accept cash (only debit or credit cards are accepted). Moreover, the restaurant gave us a hard time to pay bills individually. How is it difficult to "go Dutch" for a restaurant in the Netherlands?!

This place isn't making me feel very happy at all…read more The girl rolled her eyes when I told her I wanted a liter of water instead of a 0.2l tiny bottle, then she told us she could only take one PIN card for our table of 6. For the country that invented "going Dutch," I think this is an awesome policy. Also, their lights keep flickering, which is incredibly annoying, so find a seat away from the windows (where the flickering industrial lights are). The food is pretty average, corporate Italian food. Portions are pretty large, though. I guess if you're starving near Enschede's train station and don't have much money, this is a good bet. Otherwise, try Vapiano instead. Also, what's with the sexy girl on all the signage and menus? Are you selling lingerie or pasta?!

The restaurant is in an old country style house (at least that is the style). Went here for dinner. The dining room is cozy and great for small sized dinner parties. They had a special asparagus menu (seasonal) and also a special weekend menu. I order from the a la carte menu. Tried the salad with warm beacon and goat cheese, and a tournedos with a side dish for the main course. The salad was very tasty and well prepared. There was a bit too much goat cheese but other a perfect starter. The tournedos was order medium rare, but came closer to medium. It was served with fried mushrooms and bacon garnish in a red wine sauce. Over all very tasty and a good sized meal. I was very pleased. Has a glass of Santa Rosa Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot with the meal, a suggestion of the waiter. The wine was a great match to the meal. The restaurant has a nice ambiance, the service is excellent and the food is great. I would certainly recommend it to others that are in the region.

We were there on a Friday evening for dinner, 8 adults and 1 kid (who fell asleep while waiting for his food). We decided to order the 3 course menu so would be also faster. The appetizer came reasonably fast but for the main course we had to wait for a long time so long that at some point one of us had to go to ask if we were at some point getting the food. The place wasn't that busy so I don't know why it took so long. About the food, the appetizer was tasty but nothing that made me smile. Main course, duck breast..it was dry and boring (it gave me the impression that maybe a sauce was forgotten) laying on a bed of soggy vegetables. As a side dish some potatoes that I would say they came from the bag from a supermarket, those that come with the seasoning ready to warm up!. Finally, the dessert, a ball of ice on top of caramel and a tiramisu that was more cream than tiramisu. Again not impressed! As a conclusion, I don't find the relation between the price and the quality of the food nor their reputation. Not going back for a 2nd chance

It was my first time in Hengelo and I had biked there from Enschede, hoping to buy some concert tickets at the Metropool...but I was an hour and a half early. I had to kill some time. So I hung out here! Being a student, living on campus with only a Starbucks being the closest, I am always dying for good coffee (the vending machine coffee is crap and doesn't take my card, and the coffee you get in the cafeterias also sucks). I ordered a simple Americano with a lemon poppy muffin. The 2 complemented each other SO well! This was probably the best Americano I've ever had as well. It had a good espresso tang without being overly sour. Their coffee menu was probably on the more extensive side too, they had the seasonal pumpkin and chai flavors. The atmosphere is very casual and quiet. I'm not sure if it gets busy (this is tiny Hengelo after all), but there weren't too many people crowding the area. The person working was very friendly and struck up a conversation with me too since it was so quiet. There are a ton of places to sit, mixture between small tables, comfy couches, and outdoor seating (when it's not raining!!). They also have wifi, so it's a great place to study!
