Bistro Ludwig in Bad Honnef

We discovered this gem on Google Maps while passing through. This is what I want in a restaurant: fresh, local, and seasonal specialties. I had the tarte flambée with Parma ham. I'm not really a big tarte flambée fan—now I am! It was so incredibly delicious! By far the best tarte flambée I've ever eaten in my life. I'd also like to commend the staff: the young people were attentive, competent, prompt, and friendly. I wish everyone at Ludwigs Bistro all the best from the bottom of my heart!

Very cute bistro with vintage charm, delicious tarte flambée

A café/restaurant-bistro With a pleasant atmosphere, very friendly service, and a great selection of food and drinks. Vegan alternatives are available for many dishes, and the value for money is very good.

This week was my third time there for lunch in a short period of time. The service hasn't improved. There's a lot of idle time, dirty tables are left standing for a long time or are only half-cleaned, so new guests start at a dirty table. The kitchen's performance is consistent. The price-performance ratio for wine isn't customer-friendly: While a bottle of wine (1 liter) at the winery officially costs €5.20, a glass (0.2 liter) at the bistro costs €6.50, that's not acceptable in my opinion.

The dining room is beautifully decorated, with a lovely outdoor dining option in the courtyard. A relatively small menu with a selection of delicious dishes, freshly prepared and lovingly presented. The wines are complemented by excellent service. Very attentive, friendly service, even at a late hour. Thank you for a thoroughly enjoyable evening!

On the menu, less is more, which is reflected in the quality.

We went here for dinner after the civil wedding – everything was beautifully set, the staff was super accommodating and child-friendly, and they catered to all our needs! We'd be happy to come back 😊

Difficult owner, quickly causes problems for some customers with his very bitchy, irritated tone of voice, which is surprising as a guest!

A bit loud, which is hard to avoid with lots of guests. Otherwise, everything was great 👍🏼

Top bistro, good vegan food, beautiful garden.

We celebrated my husband's milestone birthday with a large group at Bistro Ludwig on Saturday. We had brunch and plenty of tarte flambée. The staff was very attentive and friendly. The food was excellent; nothing was missing. We definitely like the atmosphere and enjoy eating there. High praise.

Beautiful interior, which is always a matter of taste. I think it's fantastic. Service and food/drinks are very expensive in comparison. Ultimately it's about a tarte flambée. It's wonderful that some of it comes from the region. The problem for me personally: I just wasn't full. But tasty for in between meals is perfectly fine.

Nice location with great tarte flambée! May be a little loud at times for quiet conversations.

Delicious food and very nice service! Are regular and very happy here. From the first visit, always simply top!

In summer it is very pleasant to sit outside. Vegetarians don't miss out either. Bread is served in small paper towels so that you can take away the leftovers (if necessary) of the freshly baked bread.

Excellent flammkuchen, very good price quality. Great and fast service.

After a long time I was here again. Food is still great!! But we probably caught the wrong day for a cozy evening. Unfortunately there was no more coffee at 8:20 p.m. The restaurant closes at 10:30 p.m.!!!! The service person said something about it not being worth it and how it would be in the restaurant... There were still various tables occupied. It's a shame for the otherwise lovely bistro.

A lovely bistro with a great, relaxed atmosphere. I particularly liked the back part, a quiet place to sit outside and enjoy a snack or drink when the weather is nice. The service was also impeccable and courteous. The food and drinks cannot be faulted, portions and prices are in good proportion. The homemade bread with the various dips was highly recommended, and there are also some dishes that are suitable for sharing. So you can have a good lunch here, as well as just have snacks or enjoy a drink. If you are traveling in Bad Honnef, it is worth stopping off here. Recommended as a local guide.

The bistro is a wonderful place, lovingly decorated, and the service is super friendly and accommodating. Highly recommended! The menu is varied and has something for everyone, and the salads are absolutely fantastic. There's an indoor and outdoor area for warmer months – it's all very cozy. We'd love to go back!

very good food nice place I recommend

Very nicely decorated restaurant. The menu is manageable, but everything is prepared with fresh products and you can taste it. The service was always friendly and helpful in finding a free table. If you want to be on the safe side, it's better to reserve in advance.

Friendly, professional service, delicious food and nice ambience!

We were here for lunch and loved the delicious salads. Since we sat right at the front of the restaurant by the window, we haven't seen everything yet, but the front area already impressed us with its cozy furnishings. We'll definitely be back!

Very nice atmosphere and nice staff. Very tasty food.

Delicious tarte flambée, roast beef not so good anymore, very thin and then fibrous

The food looked better than it tasted. A very small table for 4 people.

Totally pleasantly surprised, from start to finish. Service, cuisine outstanding! We ordered 3 meals, forest and meadow and ratatouille tarte flambée and ratatouille salad vegan. I don't know how that happens, but the vegetables and meat tasted so good that we were completely thrilled. This is the food of the future, we all said independently. It's a shame that we live 150 km away and can't visit this restaurant often, unfortunately 😄! After a really low bill, that was the second surprise, when we went out we saw the open kitchen being scrubbed. From top to bottom with cleaner and lots of water! Many restaurants can learn a lesson here. Cooking is love, and the whole team conveys exactly that. It is not a job but a calling, thank you very much, that has become very rare. We'll come back at some point because we really liked Bad Honnef❤️

My absolute favorite restaurant in the region! Everything is just right here, just a well-rounded thing!

Very friendly welcome and service. High quality. Would love to come back.

I come so often. You're great. Food, staff. Everything is consistent. I'm already looking forward to the next time 💗

Last summer we had an excellent meal at Bistro Ludwig and can highly recommend the cuisine, the ambience and the service. Our three courses cost us €30-40 and we were completely satisfied and full. The homemade iced tea and the tarte flambée are particularly recommended. We will definitely visit the restaurant again in the future. Thanks for the great visit.

We spent a very nice evening in Bistro Ludwig. Although we hadn't made a reservation and the bistro was already very full in the early evening, a place was still found for us. The tarte flambées were unusual and very tasty and could also be ordered in a vegan version. The service and ambience were also great!

Wir wollten schon so lange mal hier hin. Und es hat sich richtig gelohnt. Das Ambiente gefällt richtig gut. Die Getränke- und Speisenauswahl super. Die Qualität der Speisen und Getränke einfach lecker. Die Flammkuchen sind sehr zu empfehlen!! Der Service war freundlich und sehr bemüht. Alles in allem ein schöner Abend!

I ate there yesterday with my daughter and son-in-law...just great...food was delicious...atmosphere great...staff friendly...we'll definitely be back 🥰

Very tasty, inexpensive food. Friendly service.

We were here for lunch during a training session at a nearby seminar. The tarte flambée was very tasty and large - I actually had a bit of trouble eating it all. I only managed to do that because I liked it very much. 😀 The service was quick, friendly and very attentive. Even dessert was packed for us to take home when we realized that we were a little late for the rest of the seminar. I would be happy to come here again.

Nice bistro, very nice staff. Selection of salads, tarte flambée, coffee and cake. Vegan options shown on the menu. Vegan Laxx, soy slices, vegan sour cream, ... The vegan caramel brownie is an absolute recommendation

Totally cozy and lovingly furnished. Ordered the duck from the special menu and didn't regret it. Not exactly cheap, but tasty. The red cabbage was fresh and homemade, very tasty, and the small dumplings were something different. Highly recommended.

A very cute shop, really friendly waiters and delicious tarte flambées. We felt very comfortable and would love to come back!

Great bistro with delicious food and drinks

Unfortunately, things keep happening that were previously beyond our imagination. But first things first: Today my wife and I had an appointment with friends in Bad Honnef. The Bistro Ludwig was on the way so we stopped by spontaneously. We both ordered food. My wife ordered an herbal tea and specifically stated that she has a problem with acidity and therefore the tea cannot contain anything fruity. Before she could give an example, the young man interrupted her, “He didn’t.” The tea that was then brought was extremely sour because it contained, among other things, lemon balm and lemon verbena. We returned the tea, ate the food, drank another cappuccino and got the bill. We were completely surprised to find the tea on the bill. Of course, we initially thought it was an oversight. The innkeeper, however, insisted on paying for the tea. After all, we would have ordered it and would have to pay for it. We tried to explain again that we definitely didn't order that kind of tea. The innkeeper then explained to us that the ingredients were herbs and not fruits. Besides, we could have read before putting the bag in the water. A misunderstanding can always happen, but we were not prepared for such impudence. Now we were no longer willing to compromise. The boss was called out of the kitchen (“There are people here who want to cheat the bill”). Of course we paid the rest of the bill, but not the tea, left our address and are very relaxed about facing criminal charges. How stubborn and clumsy can a person be? Obviously we had a bad experience with other guests. If the tea had been taken out of the bill, we would have tipped at least the same amount and the matter would have been settled in a relaxed manner for both parties. Our friends were also completely stunned; They advised us to draw attention to the behavior in this bistro through this review, which we are doing here. Regarding the host's comments: 1.) We weren't agitated at all in the bistro, my wife made a face and I brought the tea back discreetly, quietly and in a friendly manner. We were both very upset when we heard the accusation of theft. 2.) After we were accused of carousing, we actually suggested calling the police. 3.) We actually left our address and phone number on a piece of paper. 4.) All the quotes are correct, especially “There are people here who want to cheat the bill”. 5.) A good restaurant not only includes good food, but also good treatment of the guests. A little accommodation and diplomacy instead of stubbornly insisting on your rights and the guests will certainly be accommodating.

Leider passieren immer wieder Dinge, die bis dahin jenseits unserer Vorstellungskraft lagen. Aber der Reihe nach: Am heutigen Tag waren meine Frau und ich mit Freunden in Bad Honnef verabredet. Das Bistro Ludwig lag auf dem Weg und so kehrten wir spontan ein. Wir bestellten beide Essen. Meine Frau bestellte einen Kräutertee und erklärte ausdrücklich, dass sie ein Problem mit Säure hat, und der Tee daher nichts Fruchtiges enthalten darf. Bevor sie ein Beispiel nennen konnte, unterbrach sie der junge Mann „Hat er nicht“. Der Tee, der daraufhin gebracht wurde, war extrem sauer, denn er enthielt u.a. Zitronenmelisse und Zitronenverbene. Wir gaben den Tee zurück, aßen das Essen, tranken noch einen Cappuccino und bekamen die Rechnung. Völlig überrascht fanden wir den Tee auf der Rechnung. Natürlich dachten wir zunächst an ein Versehen. Der Wirt hingegen bestand auf der Bezahlung des Tees. Wir hätten ihn schließlich bestellt und müssten ihn auch bezahlen. Wir versuchten noch einmal zu erklären, dass wir diese Art Tee definitiv nicht bestellt haben. Daraufhin erklärte uns der Wirt, die Bestandteile seien Kräuter und keine Früchte. Außerdem hätten wir ja lesen können, bevor wir den Beutel ins Wasser geben. Es kann immer mal ein Irrtum passieren, aber auf eine derartige Frechheit waren wir nicht vorbereitet. Jetzt waren auch wir nicht mehr kompromissbereit Es wurde noch der Chef aus der Küche gerufen („Hier sind Leute, die wollen die Zeche prellen“). Wir bezahlten selbstverständlich die übrige Zeche, jedoch nicht den Tee, hinterließen unsere Adresse und sehen sehr entspannt einer Strafanzeige entgegen. Wir starrköpfig und ungeschickt kann ein Mensch sein? Ganz offensichtlich hat man schlechte Erfahrung mit anderen Gästen an uns abgearbeitet. Hätte man den Tee aus der Rechnung gestrichen, hätten wir mindestens den gleichen Betrag als Trinkgeld gegeben und die Angelegenheit wäre ganz entspannt für beide Seiten erledigt gewesen. Auch unsere Freunde waren völlig fassungslos; sie haben uns geraten, durch diese Bewertung über das Gebaren in diesem Bistro aufmerksam zu machen, was wir hiermit tun.

Very tasty and richly topped tarte flambée. The ambience and service are also great. The bistro will now be a must visit for us in Bad Hennef.

Very, very nice and professional staff. Food was good too. The outside area is really nice. We'd love to come back.

Dishes are delicious and attractively prepared. Very nice service and nice atmosphere. Often well attended, so it's best to make a reservation.

After our civil wedding we had lunch at Café Ludwig and it was simply wonderful! We were able to spontaneously toast with champagne outside before sitting down inside for a delicious meal. The tarte flambées were excellent and our allergies were even taken into consideration. The service was first class - attentive and friendly - and the atmosphere was relaxed, which was particularly good for us after an exciting day. We couldn't have imagined a better place for this special moment. Absolutely recommended!

Very tasty Flamkuchen, menu not overloaded, decoration fits. Very friendly and fast customer service, waiting time from placing the order to being served was reasonable. Cleanliness could be a little better! Highly recommended!

Wir hatten mit unseren 64 Gästen einen wunderbaren Brunch im Bistro Ludwig. Alle waren sehr zufrieden mit dem Frühstück und den anschließenden leckeren Flammkuchenvariationen. Das Team war sehr zuvorkommend und die Weiterfeier im Garten überaus idyllisch. Ganz herzlichen Dank an das Team des Bistro Ludwig.

Very nice staff and a really nice atmosphere in the “backyard”. The best tarte flambée I have ever eaten in a restaurant. Very generously topped (even too much depending on the topping) and the spelled dough as an alternative is super delicious. Definitely worth a visit!! Additionally, the homemade Limoncello Spritz was simply delicious.

Found through Google maps. And were surprised. Very nicely located beer garden, local products fresh on the tarte flambée, extremely tasty 😋 😋 😋 The prices are completely okay.

We ate here twice today. The tarte flambées are super delicious, I had the honey parfeit with figs as dessert - a dream 😋. The quality is great, everything is fresh. The ambience in the garden is very nice, great green place. I also really liked the country house style interior. Open kitchen 👍. The service team is very friendly and attentive. We will definitely come back and are looking forward to it. Thank you for today.

Ate very tasty tarte flambée again. This time the late summer version. Nice ambience and nice service. Gladly again soon.

A really great bistro with a beautiful outdoor area in the countryside. Very tasty home-made meals and desserts. Tarte flambée really tasty and great value for money. Fresh ingredients and, if possible, everything regional. Unusual variations and not what you normally get in tarte flambée or salads. Highly recommended. The service is also very attentive. If I'm in the area again, definitely again.

Very tasty tarte flambée, attentive service, good value for money!

Very nice restaurant, super friendly and attentive service. Very tasty tarte flambée. We'd love to come back.

Delicious food in a great atmosphere with great service. What more could you want…

This evening I had dinner at Bistro Ludwig with my daughter and our two dogs. I have to say that I have never received such great service as I did today in this beautiful bistro. Apart from a fantastic meal in a wonderful atmosphere, the service was incredible. Not only was she incredibly quick and attentive, but she really infected us with her friendliness. At the end she gave us a surprise. Thank you very much for a fantastic evening :) We will 100% stop by again next time we visit Bad Honnef.

After a short hike from Königswinter over the Drachenfelsen, the Bistro Ludwig is the ideal place to stop. Even the little ones get their money's worth in the garden kitchen.

I was there for the second time today and can only be recommended. Very good, come back.Francoise Etscheid

A restaurant with a cozy terrace in the courtyard, very friendly service, the food is a bit scarce but very interesting and tasty. Definitely a place to enjoy a light dinner or to have a drink with your best friend and treat yourself to a delicious dessert.

A real highlight in the culinary desert of Bad Honnef... definitely have to come back. The tarte flambée with ham and rocket was sensationally delicious, and the dessert trio was a great ending. The super beautiful outside area and the lovingly decorated walls and cupboards are exactly my thing... I would move in easily. See you soon!

We were warmly welcomed with our dog. The dogs were looked after just as warmly as we were. The food was terrific. Gladly again when the opportunity arises.

Super totally delicious Today we had a goat farm tarte flambée and a warm chocolate cake for dessert. I'd love to come back.

Nice service, delicious salad. Unfortunately the quality of the meat was not good. Very toe.

We stopped by here spontaneously and were lucky that there was a place for us outside in the garden. It was well attended for dinner. The atmosphere in the garden was very relaxed, surrounded by trees. We liked it a lot. The staff was very nice and often asked if everything was OK or if there was anything else we would like. We each ate a tarte flambée, which we really enjoyed. For dessert we shared a cinnamon roll. There were numerous vegetarian and vegan dishes. All in all, we really enjoyed the dinner.

Food top. Service very different and unfriendly. No recommendation... it's a shame it could have been a good evening

We spontaneously decided on Ludwig because we really liked the place from the outside. We weren't disappointed, quite the opposite. The service was very friendly and competent, the food and wine were fantastic. Thank you very much from the whole team Ludwig!

Really nice restaurant, stylishly furnished with a beautiful garden. Good selection of dishes with information about the origin of the food. Unfortunately we were too early to eat. Good selection of drinks and an excellent Latte Marciato. Friendly service. Recommended

Danke für einen perfekten Abend. Sehr freundlicher Service und sehr leckere und liebevoll angerichtete Speisen in einem schönen Ambiente rundeten unseren Kurztrip ins Rheinland ab. Man bekommt den Wein im Glas, der auf der Karte steht. Wir kommen wieder!

The Bistro Ludwig is my favorite restaurant in Bad Honnef. Delicious food, good wines, always new delicacies on the menu. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Nachdem wir schon des Öfteren mit kleiner Besetzung beim Bistro Ludwig zu Gast und immer sehr zufrieden waren, haben wir nun eine Geburtstagsfeier mit >20 Personen dort ausgerichtet. Der Abend war perfekt in jeglicher Hinsicht. Angefangen beim Sektempfang mit lecker Auswahl an Fingerfood, die kreativen Vorspeisen-Platten bis hin zu „Flammkuchen satt“ und abschließenden Desserts. Die Weinempfehlungen waren hervorragend und haben unseren Gästen gut gemundet. Besonders hervorzuheben ist der freundliche Service, bei der großen Personenzahl zusätzlich zu weiteren Restaurantgästen, war die Bedienung immer freundlich und zuvorkommend. Vielen herzlichen Dank!

Super tasty flamekuche. Very pleasant bistro, cozy terrace and friendly welcome.

I had Rosa's Roast Beef (the small one), and it would feed two. Come hungry, and you won't be disappointed. Wafer thin, rare roast beef, sautéed potatoes, and a well-dressed salad. It was delicious and one of the best meals I've had in ages. The service is excellent and the staff are so friendly. Highly recommended 👌

Highly recommended with very friendly service: Cold roast beef with homemade (mega-tasty!) fried potatoes and tartar sauce! Small portion can be selected, but enough for dinner

Very nice staff and great atmosphere. Tarte flambée really good (chanterelles or Alpine)

It was our first time here, the food was simply fantastic. The service was very friendly. We felt very comfortable.

The food was excellent. I ordered from "Season" card. Everything was perfect. Yes, the price may be a bit high but the quality is top.

Delicious food, friendly staff and a beautiful beer garden.

It was a very pleasant stay with good food. The menu is quite short, but everything was delicious.

Great bistro, completely satisfied. Hence 5 stars.

Delicious coffee with a plant-based alternative and very good tarte flambée. Even different variations available in vegan. Beautiful building, very nice ambience and tastefully decorated

An all-round successful bistro, with versatility, an overall concept of furniture and decoration, an interesting menu, large outdoor terrace and delicious dishes

Beautiful shop, delicious food and friendly staff, as well as a larger selection of vegetarian and partly vegan dishes

Many thanks to the boss for his patience with the wine recommendation! We ate and drank wonderfully and felt very comfortable in a young atmosphere with nice guests. Thank you also to the friendly service team! We live further away, but would love to come back. It was worth it!

Incredibly good dishes!! There is also an extensive selection for people who eat vegetarian or vegan foods. The changing promotional menu always ensures new seasonal creations. Always happy to come!

We were here for the first time yesterday, but certainly not the last time. On the way home from our short vacation, our friends who already knew the bistro brought us here. As a starter we tried homemade bread and 2 great dips. Since there were four of us, we were able to try four of the delicious tarte flambées, and they all tasted great and had plenty of toppings. You should still leave room for a dessert or a coffee ;) Pumpkin seed ice cream, dessert Ludwig and also the coffee were amazing. The imaginative ambience and friendly service rounded the whole thing off. We're looking forward to next time ! Keep it up!!!

We have eaten here several times and this visit was the second time we were there with a larger group. The restaurant offered us to order the food a day in advance so that we could receive our food at the same time and eat together. That worked perfectly! We had various tarte flambées, all of which were very tasty. My favorite is the pink roast beef with fried potatoes and salad! Mmmm! Small note: With the large portion, you should have twice the amount of delicious tartar sauce without being asked. Thanks to the friendly and fast team :-)) We'll definitely be back!

Wir haben wohl einen schlechten Tag erwischt! Die Speisen und der Wein durchschnittlich, der Service ungeübt und teilweise (Chefin?) unfreundlich,, da gibt es bessere Möglichkeiten!

We must have had a bad day! The food and wine were average, the service was inexperienced and sometimes (the boss?) unfriendly, there are better options!

Great atmosphere and service. Appriciated their english menu as well. Definetly recommended!

Rarely eaten so well! The atmosphere is wonderfully sociable and the offerings leave nothing to be desired. Service and cuisine of exceptional quality. Always worth a visit!

Booked for a funeral party of 24 people. Pleasant atmosphere. Delicious cake and drinks. Fast service. Price agreements were adhered to. I can recommend it

Small restaurant in Bad Honnef with very tasty regional tarte flambée! Reservation strongly recommended

A very nice, cozy location. I would describe it as country house style, everything is nice and bright. There is also an outdoor area, which was already open in March when the weather was nice and sunny. We haven't found it particularly inviting yet, but I think we're still thinking about it. Attentive and friendly service. My companion has celiac disease and has to avoid eating wheat gluten when eating. The service knew how to handle it professionally and responded appropriately. We felt very comfortable and the food was excellent. I will try the beautiful wine selection on my next visit 😊. The only thing we would complain about is that the room is very noisy and you had to concentrate on your own conversation because the background noise was very loud. But that's complaining at a high level. It's nice that you're enriching Bad Honnef.

Very nice bistro, gladly again.

Unfortunately the food wasn't that good. It was OK. I ate a salad. The waitress was not friendly, a bit absent or ignorant 🤷‍♀️ definitely not enlightening or trying. She said it's all on the map... I don't have the feeling that I want to go there again 😅It's best to see for yourself.

The tea hadn't been drunk yet when the key was cleared away without asking

Had a wonderful evening with my wife. Many thanks to the whole team for extremely delicious food and excellent wine!

Super friendly staff. Food is freshly prepared. I felt very well

Absolutely recommended! Cozy, tasty and friendly! A great team and great dishes! We will come back!
