7 Gründe Restobar in Wuppertal

Delicious dishes, everything fresh and top quality! The menu really has something for everyone. There's also a weekly changing menu. Unbeatable value for money! Best regards, Chris.P.

I visited the restaurant 7. Gründe in Wuppertal on Saturday, April 11, 2026, and was unfortunately very disappointed, especially since, given its connection to the restaurant Essenz, one would have expected significantly higher quality. Here are the points that led to my negative review: Food quality: I ordered the vegan vegetable patty. Unfortunately, it turned out to be an obvious convenience frozen product, which tastes and looks exactly the same as anything you'd find in a supermarket. For a restaurant with this ambition, that's very poor. Value for money: I was charged €18.50 for this patty and a very small portion. That's completely disproportionate to the quality or the cost of the ingredients. Side dishes & service: The French fries were barely seasoned and seemed rather uninspired. Furthermore, there was no salt and pepper on the tables to season them myself. Conclusion: The plate was very "meager and unappealing" overall and unfortunately left no lasting positive impression – except frustration over the high price. Conclusion: It's truly disappointing that a branch of "Essenz" resorts to such standard products. The service was quite superficial; right from the start, I was only given the food menu and not even a drinks menu. Professional service should ideally provide both the food and drinks menus at the beginning. Based on this experience, I unfortunately cannot recommend the restaurant. What a shame about the ruined evening at the 7 Gründe restaurant in Wuppertal!

We had a very good meal and a very pleasant atmosphere... I had a delicious tuna and my wife had a very fine risotto with shrimp... everything was excellent. We'd love to come back again!

Unfortunately, the complete information wasn't available on their website. Asian fusion isn't an everyday dish. The rice served with the "tartar" was very hard; it was actually sushi "tartar." The salad wasn't tasty either; the sauces didn't go well with the dish. The cocktails shown in the pictures were also bad; the mixture of alcohol and syrup was incorrect, tasting like water with alcohol and a little syrup.

We eat here regularly. The staff really caters to our needs, as my wife has certain food intolerances, and they are always friendly. The food is consistently excellent, and the atmosphere is very pleasant. Bringing a dog is also no problem. Please keep up the good work!

A spontaneous trip to Wuppertal. For a starter, we had incredibly delicious sushi at Feine Creation. Afterwards, we had a burger – I can highly recommend them.

Centrally located, with terrace seating in the pedestrian zone during the summer. Pleasant ambiance, upscale atmosphere. Very friendly and attentive staff, large selection of dishes, good wines.

Small and unassuming from the outside, we were pleasantly surprised by the interior. The beef cheeks were divine – we'd love to come back! The vegetarian pumpkin ravioli was also a culinary delight. The restaurant is relatively large, but thanks to the sound absorbers in the ceiling, the noise level is very pleasant. We'll definitely be back.

In short: Highly recommended! Exceptionally good food and very friendly service. You feel very comfortable here. The seasonal menu is also highly recommended.

Delicious food and excellent service!

Very good service. My paprika schnitzel was okay, but nothing special. The fries were very pale, the paprika sauce quite heavy on the chervil and therefore a bit acidic. A little heavy cream, crème fraîche, or sour cream certainly wouldn't have hurt…

These days, if you want to eat in Wuppertal, you're usually limited to kebabs and chain restaurants. '7 Gründe' is a refreshing exception. After having eaten here several times for lunch at a very good price-performance ratio, we came back for dinner this time. We had salmon tartare as a starter and fried shrimp and a salmon bowl as main courses. Both were excellent 🤤 What's also striking is the very good service. Friendly, attentive, and noticeably, orders are taken without tablets or slips of paper. Where else do you find that? 🙏🏻 The atmosphere is just right, and even when the place is packed, you can easily have a conversation. The clientele is also pleasant 😌 We were very satisfied and highly recommend '7 Gründe' to every Wuppertal resident and visitor 👍🏻

The food was delicious, the service was good, and everyone was very friendly.

I'm sitting here at 7 Gründe again, and what can I say... You can easily spend your money here, and as always, the food tasted really good. Maybe there could have been a little more of everything, but that's just nitpicking. Keep it up! :)

The restaurant is very cozy. The food is excellent in terms of both selection and quality – absolutely nothing to complain about. Unfortunately, the service during our visit was truly subpar. Even when our glasses were empty, no one proactively asked if we wanted to order more drinks. Furthermore, our order was sent to the kitchen late, so we ended up waiting over an hour for our food. Additionally, the internet connection in the restaurant seems to be so poor that card payments are sometimes difficult – this needs to be addressed.

Two out of four lunches were cold. The mushrooms on the mushroom cream schnitzel had grown excessively large. The mushroom cream sauce was as thin as water. Never again.

I was totally disappointed and will never go there again. The food was cold, without salad, and several other things. We had mushroom cream sauce on schnitzel. You practically had to search for the mushrooms. I complained. And then the bill was wrong too. They overcharged us. That's unacceptable. Never again.

We received wonderful service, truly top-notch! The food was also very delicious, both the sushi and the schnitzel 😉

It was outstanding at the beginning, but now it's unfortunately below average. Today was our last time there.

I only visited this restaurant three times because so many people raved about it. Unfortunately, I can only say that it wasn't even that good. I ordered a medium steak, but it arrived raw and cold – not even rare! The second time was exactly the same. Sadly, even the cappuccino was bad 😢 and the price isn't justified. Well, they try to act fancy, but you know how it is, all show and no substance.

We always enjoy going here. Whether for lunch while shopping or for dinner: the food always tastes great.

We were there for a team dinner. Despite the usual pre-Christmas hustle and bustle, the food for 15 people arrived all at once. From Christmas cookies to risotto, there was something for everyone, and the quality of the dishes was consistently excellent! The service was also very efficient and we received a warm welcome. Next time we're in Wuppertal, 7 Gründe is a must-visit.

This was our first time here today, and although it was very busy, we were shown to a table immediately, which we were very happy about. The staff was very attentive and friendly, and the food was served within 15 minutes. Everyone was very satisfied with the drinks and food. We will gladly come back. We've been here several times before. Everything was excellent. And as always, good value for money.

A temple of indulgence in the heart of Wuppertal

Great atmosphere, very friendly staff, and delicious food. Highly recommended! My wife and I will definitely go there again! We've been back, and the atmosphere, service, and food are still fantastic!

This restaurant proves that there's another way. Delicious food, excellent service, and clearly high-quality ingredients. I haven't experienced anything like this in years. Sure, it's a bit more expensive, but you get truly excellent food and aren't disappointed. There were several of us, and everyone enjoyed their meals. The food was also beautifully presented. I highly recommend keeping up the good work. For me, the 40 km drive was well worth it. Highly recommended.

We love coming here! The food is absolutely delicious and the value for money is unbeatable. The quality and quantity are perfectly balanced. The staff is always very attentive and caters to all our needs and requests.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 We've been to the 7 Gründe restaurant in Wuppertal several times now and are always delighted. The moment you walk in, you immediately feel the wonderful atmosphere – relaxed, warm, and inviting. The ambiance is stylish and simply makes you feel comfortable and enjoy your visit. The service is simply outstanding. The staff is not only extremely friendly but also humorous, attentive, and always helpful. You feel truly seen and welcomed, which makes every visit special. The food is an absolute highlight: fresh, delicious, and prepared with great care. Every meal is a delight, and you can tell that quality is the top priority here. My daughter especially loves this restaurant, which further demonstrates to us as a family how child-friendly and attentive the team is. All in all, 7 Gründe is a place we simply love to visit. Whether for a relaxing evening, a special meal, or a family outing – we highly recommend this restaurant. It's definitely worth a visit, and we're already looking forward to our next time!

Great restaurant with super friendly service! The food is also very tasty, however, in my opinion the portions could be a bit larger.

We are thrilled with the restaurant. A lovely atmosphere, delicious and beautifully presented food, and friendly and attentive staff. We are especially grateful for the play area, so we as parents can eat in peace, and the children's dishes are also great. Another plus point is the lunch menu. We all enjoyed it and will be back!

Great restaurant! The food was delicious and freshly prepared. All the staff were super friendly. The ambiance was lovely and very child-friendly (with a small play area). We'd love to come back.

Everything was good! We tried three reasons ;) The atmosphere was great, the service was very good and friendly, and the food was also delicious! We'd love to come back!

Very tasty food and something for everyone :)

A fantastic lifestyle restaurant in the heart of Elberfeld City Center. Great, fresh food, beautifully prepared both visually and tastefully. Very friendly service with an eye for detail. The interior is beautifully designed. You can also sit outside; radiant heaters and glass walls make it more cozy. Highly recommended if you want to stop for a bite to eat after a day of shopping.

Delicious food (also for vegetarians), friendly service, and a pleasant atmosphere. The menu selection also stands out well from other restaurants in the area.

We were a larger group, and the food was okay. However, in my opinion, they use flavor enhancers, but that's almost always the case. But you shouldn't go hungry. The food took over an hour to arrive, and the waiter didn't offer a single apology or even a single notification. The service was somewhat businesslike; friendly service is more important than anything else. Even when the food finally arrived, the waiter, who was the only one serving outside, brought it to our tables one at a time. If the first person had waited until the last person had their food, it would have been cold. I can't say whether additional staff could have helped, as I couldn't see the interior. There are better restaurants in Wuppertal; I don't necessarily need to go back here.

Good old-fashioned service, and we had pleasant conversations. They also offer customization options, so the kitchen is excellent. Delicious thin Viennese schnitzel (veal) and a tender, thicker pork schnitzel.

The food is very good, and the service is very friendly and attentive. We'll be back.

The 7 Gründe Restobar is a nice place to eat and drink. The menu is varied and the food is delicious. The atmosphere is cozy. Some dishes could be a bit more creative, but overall, it's a good choice for a relaxing evening. We might be back!

We were there as a small group. We were impressed by the food and the friendly staff. Unfortunately, we all had stomach problems after eating.

I ate there for the first time today. It looks very unassuming from the outside, but the atmosphere inside is fantastic. It's even air-conditioned! The service was very friendly and everything went really quickly. The menu also has something for every taste. Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Beautiful restaurant in the pedestrian zone, pleasant outdoor area, top service, and the schnitzel for lunch is simply outstanding.

Very friendly staff and very tasty, varied food.

Great shop, especially the staff is mostly really great. The prices are a bit on the high side, but totally reasonable considering the quality.

I reserved a table for six people. The staff member didn't want to know our names, the table wasn't set when we arrived, and we sat under unpleasant lighting. Only three menus arrived, nothing more. One meal was forgotten and never arrived. I asked three times for a spoon for my noodles, which took forever, and the food didn't represent the value for money (e.g., the bowl came with a small pile of extremely dry rice, there were far too few fries with the burgers, etc.). We went elsewhere for dessert and cocktails.

Good burgers and starters. Friendly decor.

Very tasteful shop and good food. Waiters are very attentive.

The restaurant 7 Gründe on Herzogstraße is a very nice and cozy restaurant where you can eat well and also have the peace and quiet to relax. The conditions of the Kelleners are great, very friendly. Best regards, Ulrike Grewe

Great selection, for everything

A pleasant bistro with a good selection of staff on our recent visits. A chic ambiance, but a rather small menu. The food is always delicious, so I definitely recommend it.

Great restaurant with a buffet. Excellent food. I would visit again.

We've been to this restaurant many times with family and friends and always enjoy coming back. The food is consistently excellent, whether you choose sushi or savory dishes. I'm particularly fond of the veal schnitzel, which I order again and again. The ambiance is also wonderful and invites you to linger. The friendly staff perfectly rounds off every visit. Highly recommended!

Unfortunately we were very disappointed with our stay. The restaurant was recommended to us and we had high expectations. At the beginning we were only given a menu and asked for drinks. When I asked for a drinks card, I received an angry look and was given to me in annoyance... The others at the table were also given a card very reluctantly when I asked again. My food was forgotten and there was no excuse. When my food came, my friend first hit the plate on the head. There was no excuse for that either. Unfortunately, the service was absolutely subpar and there is a lot of room for improvement. (Specifically a waiter.) The atmosphere is very elegant and I really liked it. The chairs were very inconvenient for eating. The sides were very high so cutting was a bit difficult. For me personally, value for money wasn't there, I just expected more for my money at around €50 for a starter, main course and drink. I think it depends on the dish and there are certainly competent waiters who enjoy working, which is why I wouldn't generally say everything was bad. But I won't come back.

The food is okay, with both Eastern and Western options, but quite expensive. The service was extremely slow. After we finished eating, we waited for a long time to pay the bill but no one paid any attention to us. If you sit outside, you have to endure other people smoking, and there are a lot of small flying insects and pigeons, which seriously affects the dining experience.

Eating in the evening, the main course alone is not filling. Sunday buffet a big recommendation. But we were disruptive because we played Doppelkopf. They could have asked us in a friendly manner, but the waitress became aggressive. No more!

Worth more than 5 stars! As soon as you enter, you immediately notice that you are welcome here. The service was excellent – ​​attentive, friendly and very professional. The owner lives true hospitality and clearly puts a lot of passion into what he does. The food was a poem - every plate prepared with a lot of love, fresh, creative and incredibly tasty. The ambience is also convincing across the board: stylish, cozy and well thought out down to the last detail. Everything is perfect here: from the service to the food to the atmosphere and the great team. If I could, I would give it more than 5 stars. An absolute recommendation – we will definitely be back!

The food was delicious, but the waitress on Sunday lunch was rude.

Mega delicious beef fillet Great, competent, friendly service (greetings to Victor 😊) Not overpriced and plenty of comfortable seating inside and out. We'd love to come back

Very nice, beautifully decorated restaurant with good food and very attentive and friendly service.

Very decent place. The owners are very heartwarming.

Nice atmosphere with delicious food and very nice staff. However, the cordon bleu was very thick, a bit too much ham for me, but still very tasty. The bowls are also recommended!

Good afternoon, we went to the restobar for lunch today. The atmosphere is very nice, you feel comfortable. The service is unobtrusively attentive and at a well-measured frequency! So far everything is correct... now on to the food. We both had the Caesar salad with chicken, when it's well made, always a very tasty meal. Classically prepared with romaine lettuce and the well-known dressing, you know what you're getting into. Unfortunately, here it's more of a mixed salad made from lettuce, tomatoes, etc. which has little or nothing to do with the original. The dressing wasn't seasoned enough for my taste, croutons in the form of slices were completely okay and different. The breaded chicken (possibly Pankow) was also good. Overall, I would advise declaring something different on the card because it creates a certain expectation. Other food at other tables looked good!

Very tasty food and top service!

Super delicious food! Highly recommended!

What is a very nice restaurant in Wuppertal Elberfeld you can eat very well there the staff is very friendly my daughter-in-law had a skewer that wasn't cooked through she then had to go back my name was immediately redone and got a new skewer otherwise our food was great

We were there for the first time this evening and will come back, very friendly and good service, food excellent and reasonable for the price. We can recommend it 100%

I found the menu quite clear, the prices were a little too high, but it was tasty... No parking space or the public one (on the wall) nearby is in my opinion overpriced (even in the evening!)

Very nice and competent staff. Friendly approach to children. You are welcome here. Had a very nice dinner.

It used to be good, but on the last visit I unfortunately got almost hidden fish that smelled when it was served. Still paid full price, outrageous.

We've eaten here several times and always loved it. As of today there is a buffet on Sundays from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. And - what can I say - simply perfect! First of all, a 5* porcini mushroom soup, several starters to choose from and several main courses to choose from. Delicious! Also several desserts - delicious. The service was also perfect, very nice and competent. A clear recommendation from us!

Highly recommended for this quality and top prices and diverse cuisine

We came here yesterday because of the positive reviews, but we had mixed feelings about whether it would be possible to deliver good quality with such a diverse menu. Conclusion: It can. The bao buns and cordon bleu were very good, the service friendly, and the cocktails we treated ourselves to afterward were also delicious. The place was lively, but at least yesterday it wasn't so loud that we had to shout at each other. Thank you very much, we'd be happy to come back.

We were here for the first time on New Year's Eve. Although the restaurant was naturally very busy, everything was perfect. 👍 Very friendly and attentive staff, delicious food, and a cozy atmosphere. We'll be happy to come back. 👍

Everything is perfect here: very nice, friendly, and attentive service, a pleasant, modern atmosphere, and the food was delicious, too. We had the shrimp in tempura batter with vegetables for starters, followed by the Oldenburg duck with red cabbage and dumplings. It tasted fantastic; we'll definitely be back! Parking is very convenient in the nearby parking lot.

The best citizen in town Top service and atmosphere Would gladly return

Delicious food, good value for money.

Very friendly staff, I got a small portion without any problems, and the cordon bleu is the best I've ever eaten. It won't be my last time there.

Hello, We celebrated a birthday party here, and we were very pleased with both the food and the service. We were particularly impressed by Ms. Araniy; she was very kind and accommodating. I recommend this place to anyone who wants to enjoy delicious food in a pleasant atmosphere. Sincerely,

The best restaurant for the whole family in Wuppertal. Probably the best sushi in town, and the quesadillas are truly delicious. Everything is top-quality, and young and old alike will be happy here.

We've been here several times with our family and were very satisfied with both the food and the service. We particularly enjoyed our visit on December 25th. The dishes on the Christmas menu were consistently delicious, and the young waiter was extremely friendly. We will continue to visit and recommend 7 Reasons to Eat.

I've been going to this restaurant regularly for a few months now and I'm always impressed. I particularly want to emphasize that the classics like cabbage rolls and potato pancakes taste like mom's. The combination of quality and fair prices makes it all the more special. The staff is always friendly and accommodating, and the stylish ambiance makes you feel at home. The daily specials are also a huge plus – there are always great and varied offerings here. I'll never forget the buffet on Christmas Day: a four-course meal with soup, starter, main course, and dessert. Everything was fresh and incredibly delicious. Even when the house was full, the buffet was always well-stocked. It was a truly wonderful experience to spend Christmas Day out. A restaurant that I can wholeheartedly recommend! A big thank you to the team at 7 Reasons – I'll be happy to come back again and again.

A cheek: mini starter plate 15.50€ (the price is per person) p.P. One prawn, a piece of cheese, half a mini spring roll.

There were 16 of us eating there today, 10 adults, 2 teenagers and 4 children. We ordered food and drink which was where the first negative point came into play. They only serve small bottles of lemonade or coke at a price of €3.20. For three bottles per person, that's a hefty sum. Thankfully that's been abolished and they now offer glasses too. Then came the main course: prawns for €19. I have to say they were a culinary delight, really delicious but not much for the money. As there was only one starter (the second Manco) which I didn't like, it was the only alternative. Two small children got their food pretty quickly (pasta with tomato sauce) and the food was also very tasty. Everyone else got their main courses too, except me and my two little ones. We had to wait because we were forgotten. When everyone else had finished eating we finally got our food. I had a Cordon Bleu which was also really great. We had to wait almost half an hour for the ice cream again. Overall, it was OK; some things could have been better, others could have been offered at a lower price. But neither I nor anyone else who was there with us that evening can comment on the taste. The food is truly delicious. Another positive thing to note is that there's a play area for the little ones.

The staff is very friendly. Good lunchtime offerings.

The latte was served lukewarm. The cake slice was missing a cake fork.

Very good food at really reasonable prices!!! We'll be back!

Food was 1a. Operation and service was really excellent.

Place is too loud, you can’t hear your own voice in there. so many employees yet the service was slow. We made reservations prior to our visit, when we came we have been given a high and very uncomfortable table, we asked for a normal lower table and we have been told that everything is full. The food came very late and was not any special. we waited for longer than 30 min for sushi and simple pita sandwiches, they served two tables next to us that came long after us while not checking on us and our food even once. The food came finally after we asked about it two times. There is an unfriendly employee that gived us a bad energy, we could only feel that it was racism, as he was checking well on every other German table except ours. I do not recommend to foreigners.

It was really nice here. We were treated very nicely and courteously. There is (perhaps) a lot of staff who care. The food was very tasty. We'd love to come back.

Great, tasty and good quality food at fair prices, very good wine selection. We always like to come for lunch or dinner.

Very nice restaurant. Four of us ate there and we all enjoyed it very much. Nice service, we really felt very comfortable.

Very tasty, very child-friendly, very nice service

Viennese schnitzel from veal. Breading soft, meat still pink. Apparently fried too short. Cucumber salad drowned in marinade. Small portion of fried potatoes that come without onions and bacon. Not OK for the price.

Been there several times, tried various dishes and have always been very satisfied. For me one of the best restaurants in Elberfeld.

The food here is really great. There is a wide selection and it tastes great! We really enjoy coming here again and again. Tip top 👍

The food is really great. But the waiter tops everything. He's just great 😊 An employee like that enhances everything 🫶

I was there for the first time. Here we come again.

Very big, very loud, very trendy. The food was okay, the service was friendly.

We ate here with several people and were very satisfied. Everything was delicious and the selection on the menu was very diverse, so there was something for everyone.

Totally nice and fast service and good food. The children's schnitzel came already cut, which we thought was great. The children's corner is also great. One of the few restaurants where you can have a good meal with children.
