Cafe Bootshaus in Wuppertal

Very tasty. Friendly service. Reasonable prices. I'd be happy to return.

I ate at the Bootshaus today with my family (8 people in total), and everyone (ages 5-75) was thrilled with the food and the friendly service. There's a lovely terrace, but we sat inside due to the evening temperatures. We ordered various burgers and schnitzels, as well as a tarte flambée. Even our special requests were accommodated. An all-around successful restaurant visit, and it won't be our last at the Bootshaus.

A lovely, cozy café-restaurant located directly on the Beyenburg Reservoir. Pleasant, friendly service.

Very nicely located by the lake!

Beautiful, well-maintained terrace right on the lake. Very friendly staff and delicious food. A lovely place to relax and take a stroll. I'd love to come back.

Great restaurant, superb location. The food is really good and the staff is super friendly. We also celebrated our daughter's confirmation there, and everything was perfect 😀

We had a similar experience. We were unexpectedly given the opportunity to take a break at the reservoir. The service was friendly and attentive. The tables weren't too close together. The cakes were delicious. We'd love to come back. :)

The restaurant is idyllically located directly on the Beyenburg reservoir and invites you to linger.

While walking through Beyenburg, I happened to pass by the Bootshaus and actually just wanted to stop for a quick coffee. It turned into a spontaneous meal. Although I wasn't expecting much, the Bootshaus burger completely won me over. Fresh, juicy, and delicious. I'd love to come back next time I'm in the area.

Too bad, it didn't meet our expectations. The staff wasn't attentive. We waited 20 minutes for the previous person's table to be cleared. The price was too high for the quality and service 😞 but the water atmosphere was relaxing 😀

Friendly staff, but we waited forever for our drinks. Then they brought the wrong one. We didn't even dare to order food. When we paid, the amount was wrong, so we waited again... Unfortunately, not recommended.

A great restaurant with food, coffee, and cakes. Very idyllic location.

We had a drink there; it was very busy because of the dragon boat race. We were very happy with everything!

Super nice Great location More than fair value for money And polite but not intrusive Highly recommended

A cozy restaurant on the Beyenburg Reservoir (on the Wupper River) with a lovely outdoor terrace. It serves good home-style cooking and a variety of schnitzel dishes. Delicious cakes are available for coffee. The staff is very attentive and prompt. A great place to stop after a hike.

Beautiful spot right on the lake with delicious food and friendly service. We'll be back.

Nice shop, great and nice chef with friendly service

Food super top only menu a bit small otherwise mega would love to come back

I would give it more than 5 stars if it were possible 😁! The food is delicious, the service is always friendly, and the location, right on the reservoir, is unique!

We wanted to go to this restaurant for a long time because of its beautiful location, but we left disappointed. The tables are dirty and they are not wiped down when new guests arrive (we observed this with several guests). Drinks arrive relatively promptly, but sometimes not. It took a very long time before we could order, and during that time the waitress walked past us a few times without asking. We waited another long time for two mini salads. The salad wasn't very good; the only crunchy part was the core of the lettuce leaves, and the leaves themselves were very limp. The dips and bread also came with six really small and unloved baguette slices, two of which had more of a hole in the inside of the bread than bread. In the end we paid and mathematically we paid too much. They were probably also stubborn at our table, bringing us too much and we hadn't ordered, and they communicated this in a way that we hadn't ordered and that it could be returned or sent to the correct table. All in all: disappointing and very chaotic when it comes to serving guests.

A nice, cozy place to sit. The food is delicious. The service is very friendly. I highly recommend it.

Beautiful outdoor terrace on the banks of the Beyenburger reservoir.

Beautifully situated in the middle of nature. The service was really friendly and helpful. The food was delicious.

Top address when the weather is nice and you are hungry

A very nice restaurant with a lovely lakeside terrace. Delicious food at very reasonable prices. Friendly service and well-maintained restrooms. We'd be happy to come back.

The new owner is worlds better. Forget everything that came before; there's no comparison to the previous location. Keep it up; that's what Beyenburg was missing. THANK YOU 😀😃😃

Yes, very nice location directly on the lake

Great restaurant! The menu is small, but there's still something for everyone. The service is very friendly, and the view of the reservoir is amazing.

Really great. We had burgers, which were excellent. The young waitress served us excellently.

We were here for Mother's Day and were seated right away. Delicious cake and cappuccino at reasonable prices. Good service. Highly recommended.

Nice service. We were just there for a coffee. But it was ok.

Very tasty food in a nice atmosphere. We'll definitely be back.

Good food but long waiting time. Waited almost an hour. People who came after us got their food before us.

Highly recommended, beautifully idyllic location directly on the Beyenburg reservoir. Nice team and good food

Super relaxed atmosphere and great service! Staff super friendly. When the weather is nice you really enjoy coming here. I can only recommend it!

Very nice location. Friendly service, piece of cake, here plum/streusel, very tiny, could be a little bigger.

Great location on the lake and perfect for a break. Directly with a view of the lake. Clear recommendations from me!

very good cuisine, best service

New owners make an effort to be attentive/friendly + quick. Food was brought directly to the table by the chef who was also extremely friendly!! Food was good! Small menu with something for everyone if you get hungry while walking! Gladly 5 stars again for a new beginning 😊👍

I rarely rate, but here I have to and especially with FIVE stars! It was great all around, the ambience, the schnitzel, the fries and especially the mayo. I can't believe it, but I'm mentioning mayonnaise... The only compromise I have to make is with the beer, hop juice is not a matter of taste! Warstein isn’t allowed to do that! 🤣 It was really very nice, anyone who knows the boathouse from before won't recognize it. From a waffle shop to an insider tip with a really nice ambience by the water! I wish you good luck, keep it up! We'll meet Again!!!

The Bootshausburger is a dream. Really good with the braised onions. Slightly sweet. There was a new operator as of March 1st, 2025. We waited less than 10 minutes for our food.

Very idyllic location on the Beyenburg reservoir, fair prices.

Unfortunately only three stars. We waited an hour for our food. Simply schnitzel with fries. Unfortunately no salad. The schnitzel was as thin as a pancake, the fries were great. Staff completely overwhelmed. The location is fantastic.

Great spot on the waterfront. Make a reservation because full is full. Tasty dishes. Kindness is okay .

We stopped there today for a drink and a piece of cake. Very friendly service and the cake was delicious. The terrace is really great, you sit right on the reservoir. An idyll. We'd love to come back.

Delicious food and very friendly service with a fantastic view!

Very nice restaurant right on the lake. We ate very tasty burgers. The service was very, very nice and attentive 👍👍

We were here for the first time today. The cafe-restaurant with a terrace facing the lake, located directly on the reservoir, is a popular meeting place after a walk along the lake. The staff are very attentive and friendly. The menu is not large, but I think everyone will find something here.

Restaurant located directly on the water with a beautiful outdoor terrace and a cozy and lovingly decorated interior. We were warmly welcomed and served attentively. The food was very tasty and the portions were generous. We'll be back. By the way, dogs are also welcome.

The food was simply bad. The burger was brought on cold bread with a base soggy with fat, no lettuce leaf or other decoration was delivered carelessly by a completely untrained "waiter", the Viennese style schnitzel consisted of a meat-like, breaded mass that could be mashed without a knife, for 15 euros. NEVER AGAIN.

If you're lucky, get a table outside.

Well, what should I write? I would like to, but unfortunately the waitress ignored us brilliantly, even though she walked past us several times and there wasn't really much to do... Sorry, but that won't work... 😕

The best restaurant on the lake

Very tasty pulled pork burger And very friendly staff

The host is relatively new. I came for lunch, but unfortunately it wasn't offered yet. There was coffee and cake instead. For later I would say that it is a good place to visit right on the Wupper.

Very good food, staff well, long waiting time, prices high Top location on the water

It is always a great pleasure and pleasure for us to eat there. The service is very attentive and the dining room is always very lovingly decorated.

Very cozy, good food. Unfortunately the restaurant closes at the end of November.

It's very nice and currently quite secret because it's decorated for Advent.

110% that should say it all 👍👍😀 Very, very nice service, absolutely great value for money, portions very tasty and very decent in size. I haven't been used to it since Corona 😉

Very nice atmosphere, good food, very friendly service

Super tasty and very nice staff. It's worth eating there.

A beautiful warm autumn day on the boathouse terrace. Very friendly and warm welcome. You immediately felt comfortable. We will come again.

Nice club restaurant located directly on the Wupper. The service is great and extremely friendly and helpful!

We celebrated our birthday there, the ladies were exceptionally nice and the food tasted delicious! The view is unique and you can call it a bit like a vacation!

We cannot judge food. Just had something to drink. But it looked very good on the plates at the neighboring tables. Large portions. The location is great, right on the Beyenburg reservoir with a terrace. Stopped there during our bike ride. Only taking the order and bringing the drinks took a long time. We decided against placing another order.

A nice café that invites you to linger. In summer you can sit on the terrace and enjoy the view of the countryside and the reservoir. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The order is processed promptly. We only ordered coffee and cake, but it was homemade and really tasty. The hot dishes served around us looked and smelled good. If you would like to come with several people, you should make a reservation in advance.

Small but nice. Friendly staff. Coffee and delicious cake. Inexpensive for today's times. But it's better to book a table in advance. Or go for a walk around the reservoir.

We were invited for a birthday and we all had delicious food in a cozy atmosphere. You felt welcome, even with a dog. We'd love to come back

Today we spontaneously spent our evening in Café Bootshaus...it was great! The food was very tasty (we had currywurst fries, tarte flambée and fried potatoes). The service was VERY friendly and the view of the lake was free. We would love to come back ☆☆☆☆☆

Romantically located on the Wupper with a beautiful sun terrace. Nice landlady who takes great care of her floral decorations.

We hosted our silver wedding anniversary celebration for about 25 people. The food was great, especially the schnitzels were delicious as always. A highlight was sitting outside at the dam. Despite our excitement, the staff remained calm and were very attentive. Always happy to go there!!!

good food and beautiful location right on the lake. The service staff is nice, but the boss is very unfriendly and arrogant. ^We don't need to discuss this any further^ is what the boss tells you when a normal portion is brought instead of a small portion you ordered. an absolute no-go in gastronomy. therefore not again

A perfect day at the lake! Good food, very loving hosts and a great view! A meal there feels like a day of vacation. Just really great! The schnitzels are really highly recommended. Gladly again and again :)

Very unfriendly boss, that's why service only 1 star. The food is fine, the ambience is great.

Went there again to eat and relax. We can recommend it without reservation. Unfortunately, the opening times on Google are not correct. But changing that is not in their hands.

Delicious cappuccino and food from Bergisch and good bourgeois cuisine after or before the walk.

Good offer for a restaurant, including drinks and cakes. Very friendly service that proactively communicates a difficult (offer largely sold out before the holiday week) situation and 'makes the best of it'. Closed for holidays from August 12th to 18th, 2024.

Just beautiful there. Always my pleasure. Absolute recommendation.

Delicious food, nice service and great location!

Were there for the first time, but definitely not the last. Very tasty food, attentive and very friendly staff combined with a nice atmosphere. All around a place to relax and enjoy.

Nice evening with good food by the lake.

Enjoy your meal. The service is very slow and sometimes inattentive

After we had circled the Beyenburg reservoir we ended up here in this great ambience. Very nicely located terrace facing the water..fantastic is all I can say. It was very full but the service was very friendly and our orders came very quickly. A piece of cake and coffee was available as a special offer for €6.50...we'll be back home freshly refreshed and soon 💪 You can also make a reservation there if you want to sit outside 👍

Great food, friendly service...can highly recommend

After a long time we wanted to go to Café Bootshaus again for a schnitzel. We heard there was a change of ownership. The service on the terrace was nice and took the drinks and food orders. The drinks came promptly, as did the food. I can't imagine that the schnitzels were freshly breaded and fried during this time. Unfortunately it is no longer the same quality as the previous owner. Apart from the prices for this quality. We won't be coming back. A pity

Delicious food, super friendly service, a bit expensive... In summary: Definitely a wide recommendation 👍👍

Super nice service, what more would you like 👍

Today very poor, disorganized service - 1/2 hour waiting time while the waitress was busy looking for seats for new guests and then quickly giving them drinks and food. It took a while until we finally got the tarte flambée, but not the drink we ordered with it. After our meal, a waitress looked for the table with the glasses, later guests announced loudly and our drinks were already taken. We made the payment and left. We actually wanted to make a reservation with friends, but we'll do that somewhere else. Table numbers/sequence might be helpful.

Delicious food, friendly staff.

New owners, still great food and super friendly service. The portions are really big and the schnitzel is great! The salad was beautifully dressed. Always my pleasure.

The food was a bit too expensive for me, especially the drinks. The ambience is of course bomb.

Very friendly service. Very nicely located on the water. Eat good. It's worth it.

Nice terrace, but food is mostly frozen food.

All-round perfect celebration at the lake, thanks to the Bootshaus team. Service, location and cuisine 👌👍

View is great. The food is good. But the service is not worth a star.

Great terrace, with great service and delicious food. Happy to come back 😍

Good shop with a nice view of the Bayenburgernstausee. Recommended to end the day with enjoyment.

Simply wonderful, THANK YOU ⚘️ Top service, cakes very tasty, lovingly designed and warmly decorated. The whole group really enjoyed it, of course we'll be back ❤️

Today we spontaneously found Café Bootshaus while we were out for a walk. The restaurant is in a great location and the food is on point. Gladly again!
