ALEX Mülheim in Mülheim an der Ruhr

The service is top-notch, as is the ambiance; there's nothing to complain about. Now for the food. I find the price for a schnitzel that tastes freshly defrosted a disgrace. My friend's burger wasn't impressive for the price either. It's certainly a great place for a drink, but I can't recommend anything else.

Overall, the Alex Mülheim restaurant offers a solid experience. The ambience is okay, although not exceptional - it invites you to linger without leaving any particular impression. The service, on the other hand, stands out positively: the employees are friendly, attentive and contribute to a pleasant visit. The taste of the food is okay, but without any particular sophistication or culinary highlights.

Had a schnitzel and when it came you recognized it immediately. A ready-made frozen schnitzel that was thrown into the deep fryer. Plus a few fries and a thimble salad. It's a disgrace to suggest something like that to someone. I can't understand the positive reviews if you also ate there. Maybe I would drink a cola or a coffee again, but never eat anything again.

It was our first time at Alex and definitely our last time. The food was just horrible. We had a sandwich with pastrami and a schnitzel with fried potatoes. The pastrami ham was just old and disgusting in taste. The color spoke for itself. The fried potatoes were swimming in old fat (I think it had never been changed)… We also had a latte and chai latte. Unfortunately, the chai was also inedible because it wasn't mixed properly and only consisted of milk and chunks of powder. Too bad!

A very nice restaurant with friendly service. ;) The cappuchino with oat milk tastes good.

Fast, friendly, clean, deliciously innovative

Really excellent food. Surprising combinations, that worked! 😍 And the waiter was very nice and friendly and delivered the food fast. A good experience all in all 😊

The first time that I have left a thoroughly positive review for Alex. Delicious food, friendly staff and a great location

We met for brunch and the service was very attentive without being intrusive. The buffet was rich and it was always refilled quickly. We felt very comfortable.

Highly recommended for a quick snack!

Very nice modern shop with great food and very friendly and fast service. I was there four evenings with colleagues and it was always a great evening there. Highly recommended. All dishes were very tasty.

Unfortunately, the burger tasted like fish and the salad was dried out. The Sprite only arrived after 15 minutes because it was probably in storage. Very unfortunate..

Very nice and cozy location in Mühlheim. Totally delicious food, nice and fast service. I was in Mühlheim for five days for further training and met with colleagues there every evening. Very chill and modern furnishings. Can really recommend.

We were there for a meeting and were able to sit comfortably and have a drink.

Unhygienic Service staff forget a lot. The food is all out of the bag

Nice Alex with friendly service and good food.

Today I visited the ALEX Mülheim restaurant again and was unfortunately disappointed again. The food was inedible. I had ordered a mixed salad that cost almost 12 euros, together with a Caesar dressing that was not convincing in terms of taste and was hardly available. Salmon should be added for a full 8 euros. What I got, however, was a salad that looked like it came from a supermarket bag (mixed salad in a bag) - dry and wilted. The salmon consisted of tiny remains, no trace of a real piece of fish fillet. For a total of almost 20 euros, I expected quality that does justice to this price. Instead I felt ripped off. It's shameful that a restaurant like ALEX serves something like this. I really hope that quality work is urgently being done here - you can't satisfy guests like that!

Food was delicious and really eye-catching, staff was friendly, highly recommended! 👍🏼

I can only recommend it. Always my pleasure

Easily accessible, price, performance OK

I went to Alex with a big group without a reservation. There are a lot of places so should not be a Problem getting a place. The food and the service was awesome. Service was very quick and staff were very friendly and helpful.

Cozy, tasty, good and plentiful selection. ☺️

We were your guests for brunch today. The Alex was fully booked to the last children's chair. It was a top performance for the entire staff in the kitchen, bar and service. We were always served politely and attentively, and overall nothing was missing. Everything was delicious and plentiful. Of course it's a little louder on days like this and some people find it a little stressful, but that's how it is when there are a lot of people together. We'd love to come back. Best regards

The food is very tasty, reasonably priced and the shop looks really chic 👍🏻

Really good gastronomy. Breakfast here is heavy without any fun. Not just toast and a slice of cheese like Becker. Here you can find everything from eggs to sausages. So you can have a real English breakfast here, just without the baked beans.

The steak was super tasty. The staff is in a good mood and very friendly, we felt well entertained. The price structure is reasonable.

The Korean BBQ Chicken and Mango Palona were particularly good

Ladies and Gentlemen On February 14th I went to your restaurant ALEX with my girlfriend to celebrate the day together. We ordered waffles with cherries and ice cream – an actually harmless dessert. But as my friend was eating a cherry, she suddenly discovered a hard cherry stone that she was able to spit out just in time. I wonder: What would have happened if she had broken a tooth because of it? There was not a single hint in your menu or anywhere else that the cherries might still contain pits. A simple label would have provided clarity here. When I asked a legitimate question, I only received the succinct answer that you “can’t prevent” something like that. Seriously? Is this your understanding of customer orientation? Or are you just interested in making sales as quickly and ruthlessly as possible? The minimum standard would have been an apology - and an assurance that you would review your processes to avoid such dangerous incidents in the future. But instead I was met with indifference. If a guest actually suffers tooth damage because of your negligence, I would be curious to see how you react. Thank God my friend noticed the cherry stone. Otherwise I would write this message in a completely different tone. I expect a statement on how you want to prevent your guests from being harmed by such negligence in the future. With disappointed greetings

Friendly service, nice ambience

Very nice restaurant, the interior design is like in the USA, service A1, highly recommended

Always my pleasure. The breakfast buffet is particularly recommended!

A buffet as you are used to. Nothing fancy, but lots of choice. Everything is okay for a birthday breakfast.

Nicely designed restaurant for a little hunger in between meals. Delicious teas and coffee specialties. My highlight was the virtual fireplace on the left side of the room. The toilets were clean and well maintained. We've seen this much worse elsewhere

The breakfast buffet was very tasty. This time there was even noodles in tomato sauce. My latte was very large in a two-handled cup, like in France. The waitress was called Sacide and was very nice and attentive.

The food is now too expensive in relation to the price. The coffee doesn't taste as good anymore either. Prices have also been increased significantly 😕 It's a shame that they were loyal customers for years.

As the stars suggest, everything is very good 👍 Very nice service, the atmosphere is also very appealing and the buffet leaves little to be desired. The costs for the breakfast buffet are reasonable.

Celebrated my birthday there on Sunday lunchtime, very great atmosphere and nice (chatty) service, which was good for me. I'm in a wheelchair and there's enough space

Great team, fast and friendly service... Toilets could be checked more often, sometimes they weren't that clean

Celebrated a great New Year’s Eve at Alex.

Nice shop I went to today with three friends. Good people, good offer, super awesome vegan tomato soup. Fits.

Impudence!! After waiting for 20 minutes, no waiter took care of the order. They preferred chatting instead of serving the customers... never again!!!!!

There is advertising for a festive New Year's Eve breakfast on large posters. We actually go to Alex regularly. Table ordered for New Year's Eve 10 a.m OK, then breakfast My question. Sorry, where can I find the salmon Answer. It's only available on Sundays. ??? I didn't quite understand that It's a shame - so you didn't have to go to Alex on New Year's Day. Everything else was ok and the selection was ok too

Very cozy, good value for money and very nice service.

We were here for New Year's brunch and were very satisfied! Everyone was very friendly, nice seating and a delicious buffet!

Very good buffet. Price/performance good. Good service.

The food is not appropriate for the price. It tastes bland and the menu is way too overloaded. Then it's better to have fewer dishes that also taste good

Modern restaurant, good service but unfortunately bad overpriced food. There were 4 starters! Vegetarian gyoza €8.8 (which were probably not even homemade), 3 mini kaarage each with 3 mini florets of baked cauliflower for €9.8!!! That's a bad joke! Immediately after the starters had been cleared away, the two main courses were served, a Uhly Butcher burger and a rump steak. Both had probably been ready for a while, because both were only lukewarm and the burger was more than well cooked. There was also a huge piece of ice-cold herb butter on the steak, which gave the steak its death knell. Why don't you add something like that instead of slapping it on the steak without asking? The criticism was then commented on by the service team with “we can’t do anything about it now”. The price-performance ratio here is in no way correct. Completely overpriced starters and poor quality main courses. Starters (Kaarage & Gyoza) in Düsseldorf at the Japanese restaurant, on the other hand, are world class and even cheaper. What you get for the money at Alex is almost a disgrace. The nice atmosphere doesn’t help either….

Very rich breakfast buffet and delicious coffee. I was very satisfied

We were there for brunch. The buffet was outstanding, there was a large selection with delicious, fresh rolls and bread, constantly fresh scrambled eggs, sausages, bacon and delicious spreads and cold cuts. The service was okay, but every now and then you had to wait a while until an empty drink was noticed.

Very busy. Waited a long time for the food. Small portions for a lot of money.

A wonderful place to spend a good time with friends or family 👌 Very tasty food and fine drinks. Perfect service, super friendly and courteous employees. Very cool and nice boss 👍👍👍 Absolutely recommended

Super super super nice Restaurant! Nice food, nice service, nice drinks!! Top recommendation!!!

Very well -kept restaurant, the beading ladder is not only professional but also extremely warm in dealing with his guests. I would more than recommend this restaurant!

We were there for brunch on November 24th, 2024. Good selection and tasty. The service staff was very nice. I deduct one point for the acoustics, as it is quite busy and therefore very loud.

We waited 1.5 hours for our food and then stopped. Actually, I'm used to something different from the Alex restaurants in Saxony. Too bad.

You can sit well there. Staff very welcoming and not intrusive. Saving on heating costs is all well and good, but not when it comes to temperatures. It's difficult given the size, but then you can move the blankets that are otherwise outside inside - everyone can decide for themselves whether they want to take one away. But you don't have to put your winter jacket back on to avoid getting too cold. Unfortunately that wasn't so good.

I was here for the first time, never again I've never had anything like this for such prices The side salad was smaller than a bowl of butter, €3.50, and didn't even have any dressing Not recommended!!!

The Chicken Terriaki was really great. Unfortunately, my schnitzel was a bit dry and the fried potatoes had a bit of a lack of seasoning. Otherwise the restaurant is beautifully and modernly furnished.

A must for every ambience lover and a lover of good food and service. All in all, a successful morning. The only drawback I have is that you pay almost €50.00 for two people for a successful breakfast. Nevertheless, thanks to the restaurant ALEX Mülheim and my wife and I will come back. Overall rating 1- P.S. our dog Poldi also says thank you for the bowl of water.

A pleasant restaurant for breakfast on the weekend. Brunch Sat & Sun.

Delicious baked goods, service is friendly, well equipped for a bakery cafe. clean, friendly and bright

I'm here regularly and it's always nice, great service, great food and reasonable prices.

Pleasant atmosphere and good service, everything is great!

Very nice and attentive service. The food came very quickly, was hot and very tasty. We'd love to come back.

A really nice, inviting, varied, exceptional atmosphere and good service! The meal I ordered, a (vegan) spicy and oriental falafel bowl, was quite tasty, but the portion was far too small to fill me up and for the price of more than 16 euros. Unfortunately, my apple spritzer was also grossly overpriced.

The breakfast with many people was wonderful.

Nice pleasant atmosphere. Everything OK.

The store looks surprisingly good. Much nicer than Mühlheim an der Ruhr. Extremely attentive staff. The food is not from bad parents or cooks. AND......it's quite affordable.

The staff is super nice and friendly. The food is also delicious

Very, very tasty, great service, I love coming back to Mülheim again and again.

We went there today for a cocktail and were very satisfied, the price was right, the cocktails were delicious and the service was friendly. You don't need anything more 🙂

As always, it was delicious, the service was friendly and accommodating as always.

The food was somehow pretty cheap. I ordered a burger and when I took a bite, all the oil just squirted out of the burger. I'm also worried that they'll use old oil to prepare the food because that's pretty much how the food tasted. Definitely never again.

The price-performance ratio is absolutely miserable. I paid almost 40 for a Jägerschnitzel, currywurst, even without fries and a burger. I would have paid 50 if the food had at least tasted the same. The portions were also quite small. Definitely never again.

The food was cold, way too salty and absolutely inedible. I also asked the waitress several times for the bill and only after I waited almost 20 minutes for the bill did the waitress become very annoyed. Yes, of course, I would like to spend the night in the restaurant.

Ferdi is simply the best :) Thanks for the great service

Wonderful service and awesome food. Definately recommend, and will be revisiting should we ever be in Mülheim again!❤️

A really great shop, you feel comfortable and the prices are reasonable. We found the food very tasty and the waiters were courteous. Stay as you are.

great breakfast great brunch Good value for money

Our experience at Alex in Essen was absolutely fantastic and we have become loyal repeat customers. Here are some reasons why we love this place so much: - **Culinary variety**: Eating at Alex's was always a pleasure. The dishes were not only very tasty, but also lovingly prepared and of high quality. We particularly enjoyed the ice cream, which was delicious and refreshing, as well as the cocktails, which were fabulously mixed and rounded off the evening perfectly. - **Excellent service**: The staff was extremely friendly, helpful and child-friendly. They always took the time to respond to our wishes and serve us with a charming smile. Her warm manner made a significant contribution to making us feel at home and being able to enjoy our visit to the fullest. - **Cleanliness and atmosphere**: The brasserie was spotlessly clean and comfortably furnished. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, which contributed to an overall pleasant stay. The toilets were also very well maintained, which we particularly appreciated. - **Minimal waiting times**: Despite the popularity of the restaurant, the organization was so efficient that waiting times were minimal. The food was served quickly without sacrificing quality. - **Regular Customer Retention**: We are regular customers at Alex, regardless of which city we are in. The consistently high quality and excellent service make Alex our favorite place when we are looking for something special. The friendly and warm staff always make us look forward to a return visit. Overall, we can fully recommend Alex in Essen. We are already looking forward to our next visit and know that we will experience a culinary highlight there again.

As a tourist from India , i would suggest this place for an friendly environment..

The breakfast has a varied selection and tastes very good. The scrambled eggs were particularly great.

I ordered a chai latte and fried rice with shrimps. The chai latte tasted like a great usual chai latte except for the foam on top with a lot of cinnamon that stuck to my throat, that wasn’t very enjoyable. Now for the fried rice with shrimps I didn’t expect much but they still managed to disappoint me. The fried rice that came with 5 shrimps on a stick and some cucumber and tomato slices was kind of dry and barely tasted like egg. The shrimps didn’t taste like anything which was disappointing. The cucumber and tomato slices were the only things that made the meal more enjoyable which is hilarious because they weren’t even mentioned in the menu. The staff were nice and the atmosphere was great, the food wasn’t anything special though.

Food TipTop, and first the coffee, first class!

As always, very good and great service. Thank you for the very good service and the great food.

French passing through, we highly recommend 👍🏻🇫🇷🇩🇪

Very nice café with a delicious brunch buffet and nice staff.

He was drinking cappuccino with his son and man

Friendly staff, good quality of food, coffee is average, noise is a bit loud. (December 2018) Update in August 2023: The service today was great, we haven't been served by such a smart and humorous waiter for a long time. Today was an extremely pleasant dining experience. The fish and chips we ordered were also good.

I've had brunch at ALEX several times. Nice personel! No waiting times as the food is self-service. The drinks ordered are brought to the table immediately. I'm already looking forward to my next visit to ALEX. 😃

Everything was great except the service was not attentive to guests. Sometimes when there are few guests, you have to go to the counter to order so that you can order, where the waiter then runs behind you to collect the cash. Maybe not enough staff!!!

The seating is good and the service is always friendly, but the food and drinks are too expensive

I'm totally thrilled, the food was phenomenal and the atmosphere was extremely appealing. We'll definitely be back.

Lives completely from the location in the central “passage” of Schloßstrasse. Food with 3 stars was really rated positively. Troubled environment, Staff are simply overwhelmed by dealing with the inside and outside at the same time. Badly organized. The fish always stinks from the head

Good coffee and very nice service

Friendly contact through service

Super delicious and varied breakfast buffet, including 2 small orange juices.

After we liked Alex in Oberhausen so much, we thought we would try it out here in Mülheim😊 I had the Pasta Triangole and Menne the Champion Schnitzel, both delicious! The only difference I found between Oberhausen and Mülheim is that sitting in Oberhausen is nicer. Which of course is just my opinion 😊 Service and food were excellent in both 👍🏻 so we are now always spoiled for choice 😅

Unfortunately there are no ten stars that you can give. So five in all categories! Totally nice and fast service! No "plate taxis", but very funny and friendly service, always on the ball and very attentive! Very nice atmosphere! Thank you for the short vacation with you! We always enjoy coming here and take the “holiday feeling” of the top service with us. Great burgers, moderate drink prices... see you soon!

Mega brunch. Super friendly staff. We come regularly and with pleasure. Very child friendly. ❤️
