Café del Lago in Salzgitter

Almost everything fits. VW currywurst almost perfect. Great atmosphere and friendly service despite the stress of a Sunday. Again and again

All great, the prices can be a bit cheaper and increase sales

very nice cafe with a good view of Lake Salzgitter

The first, but certainly not the last time visited. Super nice service, tried very hard, very friendly. Delicious food, fair prices and a great ambience with a beautiful view.

We were traveling by motorbike and stopped here today. We were thrilled with the food (currywurst and ice cream sundae). The service was very attentive...we'll be back!

Cafe del Lago has improved greatly over time. There are plenty of free and unlimited parking spaces in the immediate vicinity. The ambience is very nice and high quality. There is a beautiful indoor area and a very attractive outdoor area with unobstructed views of the lake. The quality of the food is high and the price is fair. The menu has something for every taste. Why only 4 stars? The service has improved a lot in recent years, but there is still potential. Something is still missing for a high-quality restaurant in this price range. The staff could be more attentive. Friendliness and politeness are great, but reordering requests or indicating that you want to pay are not always easy. Overall, a very nice and high-quality restaurant, which I am now very happy to recommend.

Delicious food, friendly staff, great service...we'll definitely be back

Super delicious food. Very friendly service. Location top. I really, really like being here.

Very pleasant restaurant, varied menu, great service! Gladly again 👌🏼👍🏼

9€ for 2 cocoa to go from a machine... that's probably a joke🤦🏽‍♀️

The place is very full, but very good 👍

Unfortunately, the reception and therefore the allocation of a table does not work at all. The receptionist clears up, serves, but is not there for new guests. So we turned around and looked for another restaurant

A very nice place where you can have breakfast, coffee and also lunch. Very nice view of Lake Salzgitter, quite a cozy atmosphere. The service seems a little overwhelmed. Since this restaurant is busy, you should make a reservation

Great location with a view of Lake Salzgitter. Otherwise, as rated, rather average.

Very nice service, great buffet. Beautiful view. Would love to come back.

We were there with 6 people at lunchtime and put together 2 tables on the terrace. We wanted to have lunch and enjoy the sun. We were told very rudely that we were not allowed to put the tables together. But we are 6 people and wanted to sit together... no matter what the "boss" doesn't want, that was the answer. We then looked for another location. It's a shame - on the outside it made a good impression...but it was so inflexible...we didn't expect that. We and the rest of the family won't see each other again. Apparently the store doesn't need to make money.

We were there with six people and pushed two tables together. When we wanted to order we were told that you couldn't push the tables together. We said we would undo everything as soon as we ate. But we should immediately put the tables back the way they were. We did that and then we left. That's it for us, there is no more De Largo.

We would have liked to enjoy the special ambience of the restaurant on Lake Salzgitter. The sun was shining and since we were traveling with 6 people, we put together two tables of four. Unfortunately the boss forbade us to do this and we had to put the tables back. Then we left hungry and looked for another restaurant.

Extremely overpriced. Staff clueless and totally overwhelmed. Even coffee takes an hour. If you want to come back annoyed from your coffee walk, this is the place for you. The ambience alone is worth mentioning.

The burgers in particular are super tasty and fill you up. Great view of the lake, nice service.

As before, always nice, attentive service and good food as well as a good breakfast selection.

I feel extremely uncomfortable there. A shop for yuppies who sell low-quality food at a high price. Great location but food and drinks overpriced.

Service is very friendly. The breakfast selection is good.

Delicious food, very large portions, I highly recommend it

Preise sind unverschämt und dann auch noch in Salzgitter. Warme Milch für Kinder in einer 0,1L Espressotasse 3,30€, so unverschämt, sie hätten zumindest die Größe vom Kakao lassen können, obwohl der auch sehr klein ist. Den Kakao für 3,70€ in einer 0,25L Tasse. Selbst in Hamburg bekommt man mehr für solche Preise. In anderen Locations zahlt man maximal für so ein Kindercappucino ( Milch in einer Espressotasse) , wenn überhaupt, 1,00€ bis 1,50€. Es ist definitiv kein Besuch wert!! Der Service kam auch nicht hinterher.

Cool location right on the SZ lake, I didn't expect it, a little holiday feeling included 😀👌. Service is friendly and nice, just ask for a drink a little sooner or more often, that would be nice. Food was very good, I had a Caesar salad, what a good portion 👌, but a little less dressing wouldn't be bad or maybe even extra would be enough. But that’s mild complaining at a higher level 😉. Very happy again 🤗

Good food paired with the sensational view of the lake, it couldn't be better. The only downer is that after several visits to the admittedly full restaurant, I had to complain about the bill that was issued. Apparently bills were swapped between tables, but something like that shouldn't happen.

I have on February 2nd. Reserved a table at 6pm and asked for a table by the window if possible. Guests who hadn't made a reservation arrived directly in front of us and were seated at the last free table by the window. That didn't feel fair to me at the moment, so I asked the waitress about it, she was immediately very unfriendly and said window seats are never guaranteed, I know that and that's okay even if nothing is available. But the fact that we made a reservation and asked for a place at the window and others who didn't make a reservation and were at the reception 1 second before us then got a table at the window without a reservation, unlike us, and the service was so unfriendly, we didn't feel like eating there anymore. Unfortunately, I have often had to deal with unfriendly conditions at Café del Lago in the past.

We were there (with reservation) after the “Fireworks of Gymnastics” in Braunschweig. A very nice ending. Extremely friendly and attentive service and delicious food. Definitely even more beautiful by the lake in summer. 🌞😊

Breakfast buffet was very good, you have to order in advance otherwise there are no seats available

At the end of November last year I booked a table for around 20 people at Café del lago for June this year. The occasion is a class reunion after 50 years, to which people from all over Germany appear. The date was confirmed to me and also entered in the reservation book. Today I got a call that this date had unfortunately been canceled in favor of another event with 350 people... You could easily call it a breach of contract. I think under these circumstances I was a regular customer at the cafe for the longest time. It's a shame... So... remember when booking: nothing is safe, not even a confirmed booking.

Very nice outdoor area with a view of the lake.. Holiday feeling when the weather is nice.. the breakfast selection was rather mediocre and special requests were hardly possible

This location is a very pleasant place where we have had many wonderful times. Whether it's a Sunday brunch with the family or a burger in the evening, there's a lovely atmosphere and delicious food. Then a walk by the lake - what more could you want?

Very nice, friendly, funny staff. Very high quality, delicious food. Homemade ice cream with whipped cream for dessert. We'd love to come back.

I had a dinner date with my girlfriend this evening. We had another lovely evening. The staff was very, very friendly and accommodating. Even though all tables were occupied, we were served quickly and the food was on the table quickly. It was also very tasty. As always :-) Thank you for the lovely evening and your good work! We always enjoy coming back.

Today we were at cafedelago, we sat nice and comfortably. The waitress came to our table (name Michel) and said really cheekily that we should get up from our seat. And that others will come. So that was very, very unpleasant for us to say in that tone! you don't. We wanted to get up and leave anyway.

Very nice view. Good selection of food.

The schnitzel was a pressed schnitzel and came from the deep fryer. Not seasoned and very greasy. The fries were too dark and therefore too hard. We will never eat hot meals there again. The staff was polite.

We are always drawn to Café del Lago. Staff is always friendly. Simply visit it yourself 😉

We were there with a group of 6 people. The service was friendly, but unfortunately only tried hard at first. After 2 of us left at 8:30 p.m., we were asked exactly once what we wanted and then unfortunately ignored. At around 9.30 p.m. the tables were prepared for breakfast and we continued to be ignored. We then had to go to the cash register to pay. We weren't the last guests either, the restaurant was still well attended. Unfortunately, the baked potatoes were at best lukewarm and the fries weren't quite cooked through. We always enjoyed being there, but it's very unpleasant as it is. But the ambience is great.

The food (kale/currywurst) was lukewarm. Shrimp dry, smoked pork dry. Plenty of side dishes. Drinks ok. Service very friendly.

Been there twice now. It's very pleasant to sit there, it's delicious (breakfast) and the staff is very nice. Ambiance is great. I can highly recommend it

Sehr nette und professionelle Bedienung. Da Essen kam sehr schnell und war sehr lecker. Die Aussicht und das Ambiente gehören zu den schönen Plätzen in Salzgitter.

It was very busy, but the food was still good and the service was on point. It's just a shame that dogs aren't allowed there.

Delicious food, large portions and very attentive staff - greetings go out to Abdullah.

Thank you very much for the great afternoon. On Mr. Lässig's recommendation, I had the leg of cheese. Extremely delicious. My husband had schnitzel. The table was beautifully decorated and then there was candlelight. It was a beautiful wedding day. Thanks to the whole team. We'll come back and spread the word about how beautiful it is there.

You are put into vacation mode for a short period of time.

Very nicely located. Food good and service very friendly and attentive. I'd love to come.

The view of Lake Salzgitter is wonderful when you sit at the window. I can only recommend it.👍🎄🎅

Abdulla did a great job with our Christmas meal 🤩. Very friendly and attentive service from the staff and the food was delicious. We felt completely comfortable 😃. Many many thanks!

Friendly service, good food and a great ambience right on Lake Salzgitter 😊👍🏻

Been there again today. Everything was top notch. Thank you very much Abdullah. Gladly again - see you soon.

Always nice here. Great service, really worked hard and gave everything, Abdullah best man. I was happy.

Scrambled eggs and bacon lukewarm. Latte as well. Price performance doesn't fit. There are better options for breakfast.

Here is a possible wording for your feedback: I am a regular guest at Café de Largo, both privately and for business, and would like to say a big thank you. The service is always excellent, the staff is incredibly friendly, and the variety and quality of the food and drinks leave nothing to be desired. My guests from other cities are always enthusiastic, and when I'm asked for a restaurant recommendation, Café de Largo always comes first. A big thank you to the entire team – you are doing a fantastic job! 🌹

Highly recommended, the view over Lake Salzgitter is great and the food is very tasty.

The service was super friendly and the food was very, very tasty. We'll be back!

We felt very comfortable. Pre-Christmas decorations lovingly designed.

I was there for lunch on a Monday and the menu advertised Schnitzel Monday for 10 euros. Unfortunately, this turned out to be a deception, because the schnitzel doesn't come with any side dishes for 10 euros, you have to order them and a portion of fries costs an incredible 5.50 euros and hunter's sauce costs 3.50 euros. The side dishes are not discounted, so you “only” pay 19 euros for a Jägerschnitzel instead of 22 euros. Sorry but that's really ridiculous. The schnitzel itself wasn't bad, but this enticing offer borders on ripping off customers. Unfortunately I won't be coming again.

Surprisingly good restaurant on Lake Salzgitter. Great burgers, very nice ambience and good, friendly service. Prices were reasonable. Gladly again.

We were there for lunch on the 1st of Advent. It was very tasty and the staff were very friendly. Keep it up...

Recommended, very nice ambience, nice service, great food, lovingly and decoratively prepared

Nice atmosphere, especially outside with a view of the lake. I love the tarte flambée there. Prices reasonable. The staff sometimes loses track of things and reservations don't always work out

Great Christmas decorations, great service, good food and a beautiful view of the lake!

Very good menu, everything we tried was very tasty. Very nice atmosphere The staff is always attentive, even though the store is always full. We always give you a tip and full marks

We were invited for coffee but before service comes you have to wave several times before someone comes

Very tasty breakfast buffet in a nice atmosphere. The staff is super friendly and on the ball. We'll be happy to come back, thank you very much!

Schnitzel with ham, bacon and onions with fries. Tasted very good. The high price was justified even for Schnitzel Day (Monday).

Perfect location near the lake. The restaurant has a great atmosphere, waiter service is required. The menu includes the best Wurst in the area! I recommend traditional dishes ;)

Two weeks ago I was there with a few friends in great weather. We came without a reservation and were lucky to get a table outside. I chose the currywurst with fries and was not disappointed. It was so delicious and the fries were crispier than crispy. My girlfriend ordered a burger with sweet potato fries, which was also delicious. For dessert there was ice cream with cream. I would definitely come back.

A thoroughly good restaurant with a nice, spacious atmosphere.

We were in this cafe in August. Frankly speaking, the location overlooks the lake, YES, the interior is also YES. We got an unpleasant waiter, not only were we not able to sit downstairs closer to the water (lower tables), I suppose it was not prohibited, the waiters just did not want to run up and down, but I don’t know for sure, they didn’t explain it to us, they just made it clear that we would not sit downstairs, and placed people near the entrance. So I was also after the hospital, while we were waiting for the order, yes, I put my water on the table, because for medical reasons I need to constantly drink water, of course I understand that perhaps the cafe’s regulations do not allow this, but any refusal can be made in different forms, so guys, it’s really unpleasant, in what form the waiter made a remark to me. Okay, ah, now directly about the food. The salad is “dry”, yes there is a lot of it, but it would be good to have a nice, tasty sauce with it, which will reveal and emphasize the taste of the vegetables, then the pasta is ordinary, but the fish is tasty. At least for me personally, there was no desire to come again.

We come here several times a year. Food always good. Nice service. Sometimes you have to wait a long time for your order to be taken or your drinks to be served. Very pleasant, warm decor of the restaurant.

What is there to eat at Christmas? Greetings Hermann Brandes

Great food with a great view. The employees were totally friendly.

Café to Go for 4.70 euros? To go!!!! Are you crazy …..

Good quick service, delicious food and mid-range prices.

Great location, attentive and fast service...

Wonderful view of Lake Salzgitter...nice service...

Very nicely located restaurant directly on Lake Salzgitter. Unfortunately, the associated ice cream kiosk is apparently closed this year. Update from October 20th, 2024: we were at Cafe' del Lago again this weekend - admittedly it was quite busy but the service that day was below all... After about 40! Within minutes our ordered ice cream and our cappuccino arrived - to save time I told the waiter that I wanted to pay straight away - he said "yes, I'll come back straight away" - then another half hour passed until he finally came back - we got a tip None and I think I won't go there again if it's busy. (We weren't the only ones who waited annoyed for the waiter).

We love this place and have been coming here for years, good food and drinks, fast and friendly service, and a wonderful view of the lake, making you feel like it’s a fancy waterfront resort. However, after coming back here more than a year since last time we now found it way too expensive and prices have gone up way too much (and portions seem to have gotten smaller too!)… that has disappointed us tremendously and we have decided to only have coffees and drinks from now on only… what a shame that is

Very nice and well-kept restaurant. The meals were delicious. Price/performance is at the upper limit with a trend of being “expensive”.

A very cozy atmosphere with a great view of the lake. I've been there twice now after the first review and have to change my review. Something went wrong with the orders on both visits. Side dishes had to be added because they were simply forgotten. Chanterelles, for example, only came when the plate was almost empty. When I asked if I could have pasta instead of fries with a dish, I got the answer: It's only possible as it says on the menu. Very inflexible for me as a guest. We had to pay 2 euros for a small bowl (a little larger than an egg cup) of parmesan. No matter where I've eaten so far, I've never had to pay extra for parmesan. And last but not least, the windows were very dirty inside and out. When the sun came out, you couldn't see anything of the lake anymore. It's a shame.

The cafe is beautiful. Little things went wrong with the service due to the digital ordering system, even though it was done super cool! The dessert we ordered was simply not tasty and too dry. We didn't eat anything else. In the past the food has always tasted good, but it's been a while since I can judge it. We were satisfied with the visit and would like to come back.

So far I haven't liked any of the dishes. You can eat much better elsewhere for less money.

Wednesday lunch: Rump steak with herb butter, ordered rare-medium, steak was completely done. Despite waving, the service didn't come to complain. The shop was almost empty. When I was paying I was finally able to mention that the steak was well done - and the waitress just said "it will be better next time". So basically shoe soles and cappuccino for 40 € Thursday evening, ordered salad without dressing, received with dressing. Noticed too late because the dressing was hidden under the salad and had an allergic reaction. Only the service was really friendly on Thursday. But it still didn't help because I had to go home hungry. Looks aren't everything.

The Café del Lago is a café/lounge or restaurant located directly on the promenade of Lake Salzgitter. We went for breakfast brunch with a group of eight people and felt well looked after and welcomed. First of all, it should be said that the ambience of the large dining room impresses with the long window front, which offers a view of the water of Lake Salzgitter. Because there are palm trees on the terrace, the viewer immediately gets a very nice maritime and almost holiday-like feeling of well-being. There are still places on the terrace for guests who would like to enjoy the sun and the wind. Since we were guests at the end of September, almost all of the guests were in the guest room. The buffet (note: reserve seats in advance) offered everything. what you wanted. From fruit and yoghurt dishes to cheese, sausage and scrambled eggs as well as warm mushrooms and small sausages. The quality of the food on offer was "just" above average, but not exclusive (which it didn't have to be). I couldn't find the salmon that was found in other places and probably part of the ambience and the rolls were a bit underbaked and rare, otherwise the dishes were rich and there was a very wide selection. Because of the large number of guests, the extremely attentive service staff kept refilling and taking drinks orders. The toilets, which are located one floor below (there is an elevator for people with mobility issues!), were modern, very clean and there was music playing. What more could you want? The Café del Lago is only recommended for the breakfast buffet/brunch; We had fun and more than made up for the distance from our home. Try it out, you should like it too. Nothing can be said at this point about the restaurant operation or the Linge / Spiritousen.

Am „Biertag“ (Dienstags) wurde das teurere Bier ausgeschenkt statt das günstigere Angebotsbier. Leider ohne Hinweis des Kellners. Erst auf der Rechnung gesehen. Wir hatten ein Radler bestellt und keine besondere Sorte gewünscht. Ansonsten war das Essen okay.

It may be okay, but as an employee you are exploited and taken for a ride. I have never seen anything like that in my entire working life. I absolutely do not recommend it

One of the most beautiful places and refreshments in Salzgitter... delicious beer... great beach atmosphere... great outdoor area with a view. TOP address.

We were greeted very warmly and got a table at breakfast without making a reservation. The food was very tasty, there could just be a little more vegetarian choice. Otherwise everything was great!

Food was only lukewarm, not enough staff in the kitchen according to the service

We were there for breakfast. The food was very tasty and the service was friendly and very attentive.

A beautiful place in chaos! It is large and beautifully located. Ordering was initially difficult because it was partly intended for self-service but was poorly communicated. A comment at the table would be helpful. Once we figured out how and where to order, we were faced with a stressed and annoyed duo in a ship's hull. Coffee machine broken, kitchen selection not in my head (or on a piece of paper). With luck we got a table with service. The food and drinks were OK. There is still room for improvement. Here too the waiter was overwhelmed and stressed. Just an assembly line. Still reasonably friendly. It's actually a shame, as it's such a great building in a beautiful location...

If the waitresses seem rushed and unfriendly, I don't feel welcome and don't feel like staying. Therefore only one star for the service

Good beer, the food is appetizingly prepared and tastes good. The service is attentive.

Extremely overpriced. The quality is low. Ordered a tarte flambée (€17) and a cocktail (€10). The tarte flambée costs €3.5 in the supermarket and tastes much better. Was dry and with little coating. The cocktail was very cheaply made and didn't taste good. The prices are not justified. You probably only pay for the beautiful view of the lake.

Ketchup tasted like soap. Unfriendly staff. Too bad, won't come back...

Creepy. Penne as aqua!. The noodles were floating in water. Paired with zero taste. Every bad canteen does this better. This was subsequently confirmed by several people. I have no idea why the store is so full. There probably isn't that much choice in Salzgitter.

Service catastrophe, quality inferior. Prices way too high!
