In my opinion, yes.
Food choices are not that extensive, but quality is very high by airline lounge standards. This afternoon they served an excellent erwtensoep (pea soup), it almost tasted homemade! The other offerings consisted of fresh rolls, cheese, salads, croissants, all sorts of muffins, pancakes (maple syrup optional), etc. etc. They vary the offerings throughout the day.
The beverage selection is extensive, and the soft drinks come in bottles. None of that disgusting dispenser stuff.
Another advantage is that the lounge is fairly small, but nevertheless usually quiet, at least at the times I visit. Not like the Crown Lounges which you often share with hundreds of people.
My one gripe is the background muzak they play, but today they had parked a cellist in a corner who played classical music! First time I've listened to live music in an airport lounge.
