Blauer Engel in Bochum

I went there for a leisurely breakfast with my best friend, and the restaurant was very nice and the ambiance was appealing. The breakfast buffet wasn't huge, but it was perfectly adequate. There was a bit of everything, it was delicious, and we were full. The only thing missing from the selection was yogurt or quark (perhaps they have that on request), but since I wouldn't have eaten it anyway, I didn't bother asking. Salmon and various other items were available upon request. Small requests were handled promptly and easily. Our wait staff was very friendly and personable, explaining everything, as it was our first time there. Unfortunately, I didn't take a photo of the hot cocoa, but it looked appealing, and they served it with a cute little star-shaped cookie. Parking was available in the parking lot to the left of the building; the server gave us a token to exit, so we could park for free. Next time we'll try the rest of the food and also the cocktail happy hour 😋👍🏻 And if the weather cooperates, I'd like to sit outside sometime. I'll definitely be back! ♡

Cozy pub with a lovely outdoor terrace. Super friendly staff! They also play steel darts here. Unfortunately, I can't comment on the food yet.

Best Chinese shop in Wattenscheid

Service very friendly, food very tasty

I visited this café with two friends and later with my mother. Unfortunately, my experience was not as pleasant as I had hoped, even though the ice cream itself was good. I am not a native German speaker, but I always try to speak German out of respect. When I ordered, I made a few small mistakes with articles, and the waiter corrected me each time. While I understand he might have been trying to help, the way he did it felt more dismissive than friendly. It made me feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. When I went back to order ice cream for my mother, I made another mistake and was corrected again — this time in a tone that felt even ruder. I then asked for a menu to see if we could try something different, but the waiter questioned why I wanted it, which made me feel quite unwelcome as a tourist who simply wanted to look at other options. I know my German isn’t perfect, but I wish the staff had been a bit more patient or switched to English if my German was a problem. I did not expect special treatment — just a bit of understanding would have made a big difference. I hope my feedback helps the café create a more welcoming atmosphere for tourists and anyone who does not speak perfect German. The ice cream was nice, but the way we were treated left me quite disappointed.
