Cafe Del Sol Castrop-Rauxel in Castrop-Rauxel

Absolutely recommendable....staff really friendly and helpful.....food recommendable

We visited the breakfast buffet on a recommendation and were not disappointed. A large selection of dishes, excellent staff, and a pleasant atmosphere. The value for money is right! Another important thing for me: clean restrooms! We'll definitely be back...

Dirty men's restrooms with extremely sticky floors, unhygienic dining tables.

The waitress, Michelle, was very friendly and accommodating. Thank you very much!

We ate here. Typical atmosphere, unfortunately crowded and loud. Very friendly service. Food, as always, delicious.

👍🏻 Café del Sol, worth a visit.👍🏻.

It was a very pleasant evening at Café del Sol. The food and drinks were delicious, and the waitress was attentive.

A superb Cafe del Sol. Always friendly staff and a free table. The place is doing really well; we often come from Bochum. Otherwise, everything else is of the typical Cafe del Sol standard, as you know and love.

Very friendly and helpful staff. The food was very good and served hot.

Hi, my experience with the place was wonderful, it deserves five stars, and I was planning to go to the remote location knowing it is next to my house but I like the remote location.

The Café del Sol is always worth a visit.

This was our second time there on a Sunday. We were allowed to stay longer than usual, which I really liked. I had spoken to the manager beforehand. That's not something you can take for granted. Great restaurant and very friendly staff. We'll definitely come back for dinner.

We were there today, for the first time, the waitress was great, so nice.

Went there for breakfast with a group, but unfortunately, there wasn't as much choice as we expected. It wasn't possible to opt for a hot meal before a certain time. Still nice, we'll come later next time...

The service is very attentive and the staff is very friendly!!!

Great spareribs... Nice service...

The service staff was very friendly and attentive. My meal, a spicy feta pan with three small slices of baguette, was tasty but, at €8.70, too expensive for the portion size. Overall, the value for money isn't really good, in my opinion.

The food was delicious and the staff friendly. The rest was as you would expect from Café del Sol.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Simply fantastic! Café Del Sol in Castrop impresses with delicious food, a great atmosphere, and incredibly friendly staff. You immediately feel welcome and completely at home. Absolutely recommended – I'll definitely be back!

Service was very friendly. Food was average.

We were there with our anxious dog and sat outside. I had my dog ​​on my lap. The waitress came over and said the dog had to sit or lie on the floor because of allergy risks. I've never heard such nonsense. I could understand it indoors, but not outdoors. We definitely won't be coming back.

It's easily accessible, located directly off the main road and motorway. But it's also always worth a visit for the great range of services and the familiar DeSol atmosphere.

I've been there several times and have always been completely satisfied with everything. On special days like Mother's Day, you have to book a table in advance. Very friendly staff, who will happily fulfill your wishes.

The food and service are excellent. The ambiance is standard Café del Sol. What we always notice is that it's quite loud. There's room for improvement there. Nevertheless, we'd be happy to come back. It's especially worth mentioning that dogs aren't a problem and are welcome.

Like all restaurants in this chain, nice, tasty and professional 👍👍👍👍👍

It's a pity that almost every dish arrives lukewarm and I've noticed that several times.. and today it was like that again, please change it, I've been a regular customer for years

The three of us ate at Café del Sol today - ordered the schnitzel flat rate and a total of four drinks, and ended up paying just under €81. Unfortunately I have to say: It was absolutely not worth it. The schnitzels were obviously frozen goods, the kind you get in wholesale markets (e.g. Metro) - neither taste nor quality was convincing. We were here once just eight months ago and they served real schnitzels like you would expect from a good restaurant. What we got today was, in my opinion, a disgrace for this price. Of course we are aware that everything has become more expensive - but then the quality should also be right. For the money you can get much better home cooking in other restaurants. Next time we'd rather pay €20 more and get real quality instead of a carelessly served standard. But praise goes to the service staff – our waitress was very friendly, attentive and really did a great job. The service was top - but unfortunately that alone is not enough to compensate for such a price-performance ratio. My honest opinion: I would not recommend Café del Sol. It's better to spend your money where quality is still valued.

Nice atmosphere, food is tasty but prices are high

NO SMOKING ON THE TERRACE! After I recently ended up back in the Café del Sol in Castrop-Rauxel by chance after a long absence (the menu so far didn't meet MY expectations) and then ate a really delicious pinsa there, I wanted to spend this Sunday afternoon (Mother's Day) there again with my daughter. As soon as we arrived we ordered a drink and asked for an ashtray. We were then informed that smoking was also forbidden on the covered terrace that day because of Mother's Day and the possibly increased number of children present (as usual there were only 4-5 children present). This was neither mentioned when reserving a table 2 days in advance nor was it otherwise apparent in any way in advance. It was probably still allowed on the sun terrace (in the blazing sun and 25°), which was inaccessible to me due to the steps there and my difficulty walking. We then decided to forego the planned meal there and left again. Until now I have always understood all the restrictions for smokers in closed rooms, but a ban on smoking outdoors clearly goes too far! It's a shame that it ruined our day so much. And since I don't want to experience such a surprise there again in the future, I will definitely avoid this store again in the future.

We were there on Saturday lunchtime, service was good and the food was delivered relatively quickly. Fries were great, unfortunately the burgers didn't taste good at all. Very dry, cheese and patty had a strange taste.

We meet there once a month for brunch with our group of girls. Super nice service staff. We always enjoy coming there, even if we have to drive a bit. Even if it's a chain, I think this restaurant is particularly good. It's worth the journey sometimes. We'll be back.

Open from 9 a.m. Breakfast at its best. Scrambled eggs recommended! Gladly again…

The four of us were in the cafe on Wednesday lunchtime, and since we just wanted something to drink, we were immediately told that in that case we could only stay for an hour. After 25 minutes we were told in an unfriendly manner that we had to leave now. It was my last visit to Cafe del Sol

We had a wonderful evening here. It was very crowded, so you had to wait a little longer for your food. The food was absolutely delicious. Dear Michele served us. She was super friendly and competent, which made our evening even better!

The food is very good and plentiful. Very friendly people work here and it is cozy outside and inside.

There's not much to complain about except that on some days it's very difficult to get a spot

We really always enjoyed going to Café del Sol. But yesterday evening was really a joke. My husband and I ordered schnitzel vacation twice. The first schnitzel was delicious, but the second round was clearly a pork schnitzel and not a turkey schnitzel (even though we mentioned it at least 3 times!). I'm sorry, but that's not possible! According to the waitress it is a new recipe. So I'm sorry, but we're not completely wrong. The first schnitzel was very different from the second and you could tell from the smell that this wasn't a turkey schnitzel. Our complaint was hardly addressed. Just under 50€ left there for nothing! I'm sorry Café del Sol Castrop but you have lost us as customers. This is outrageous!!!

In our opinion, 5 stars are still not enough; If we could, we would give a lot more! After our civil wedding, we had our wedding dinner at Café Del Sol and couldn't have imagined a better place. The preliminary conversation with the operations manager and her representative took away all the excitement and we felt we were in good hands there! The team was incredibly accommodating, relaxed and warm and arranged the tables beautifully according to our wishes and ideas. The service as well as the food was simply great, quick & uncomplicated! We, as well as our guests, really enjoyed it and felt really comfortable. Many thanks again to the team for the wonderful day and the great implementation of our wishes. We will come back!! At the latest to celebrate the first wedding anniversary 🤭 kind regards, Nina & Melinda

It was a lovely afternoon that we extended into the evening because it was so cozy and we felt so well looked after. Our service person Michele did a great job.

We were at Café del Sol today and would like to give a very special compliment: Michele served us - and she was simply great! Warm, attentive, radiant – and yet very unobtrusive. You can tell straight away that she loves her job and does it with real passion. An employee like this is worth her weight in gold and should definitely be cared for and valued. Thank you for the great service, Michele – you really made our visit special!

We came here for dinner and were served VERY friendly and attentively by Michele. Exceptional service with fun at work. Wow. Thank you 😀

Sehr schön ....wie immer wenn wir hier sind. Freundliches Personal Super Auswahl Schnelle Bedienung Immer ein Besuch wert....

Excellent food and every service was super friendly. Unfortunately a bit loud, but what can you do...

Unfortunately I was disappointed today. Today I ordered the Schnitzel Cafe Del Sol, as a turkey schnitzel. However, I didn't get schnitzel but rather breaded patties. Why this is done now is a mystery to me. You used to get real schnitzel.

As always great. Food was very tasty and plentiful. Service quick and friendly.

Food very tasty, service very friendly, great ambience, always happy. Good portions :)

Sociable atmosphere, large portions, prices reasonable and good as usual. Many thanks to Samanta for the good hospitality.

Personally, it's too loud for me, I was there with 20 people last time and I can't say I thought it was great because the atmosphere was just too loud for me and I couldn't talk to people sitting across from me

Very nice location. A little loud. Nice staff.

I didn't eat, just drank coffee. The service is good, friendly and fast. As with all Cafe Del Sol. I've never been there before, but it didn't seem like it at all. For me, the ambience is just right so that time flies quickly and you regret saying goodbye. The prices for coffee are like everywhere else in the catering industry!

The food at Café del Sol is still very tasty, but the dishes are not what they used to be! The schnitzel was particularly disappointing - it was so small that it was more reminiscent of a nugget. The portions used to be more generous, and the quality felt better overall. What hasn't changed, however, is the service: the service is still great, friendly and attentive. It's a shame that the kitchen is no longer up to the same standard as before!

We went to Café del Sol as a family to break our fast and are absolutely satisfied! The staff was very friendly and attentive. When we ordered we were asked whether we were fasting and when the food would be served - a really nice gesture. We were also given dates and water, which we were very happy about. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was pleasant, and the service was great. We'll definitely be back!

Probably the last visit to Cafe del Sol. The food is relatively expensive for the quality you get there. My fries were totally over salted and the burger patty didn't taste particularly good. The food was similar to a frozen meal at home. - Simply too expensive for that. I miss the quality of 2-3 years ago.

3/21/25 Allegedly water damage, but you only find out on site instead of on the internet. The best that Castrop-Rauxel has to offer. Just great. Friendly, accommodating, fantastic staff. Food and drink always quick and fresh. January 8, 2023 Today we had Sunday brunch for the first time. Everything was the best as described. 4 people, 230 euros in 6 hours. The only minus: the coffee costs extra unnecessarily

Unfortunately, we were not at all satisfied with our accommodation. Currently a limited menu as no kitchen is currently available. This could perhaps have been noted in advance on the homepage. Some of the waitresses were very friendly, while others tried to include something in the billing process that we hadn't ordered at all. After a long discussion back and forth, it became apparent that the lady wanted to charge the wrong table. The toilets are also currently under renovation. As a woman you had to use the disabled toilet, which meant there was only one toilet available. Unfortunately, the cleanliness also left something to be desired. There were guests around us who came with around 15-20 people. They were standing in the aisles and were so loud that you could no longer understand your own words. You just felt restricted and uncomfortable. And we watched to leave the restaurant quickly. Comfortable is different. Unfortunately 0 stars

Unfortunately, we (2 people) were assigned a very small table, even though it was still quite early and many other larger tables were unoccupied and not reserved. I checked that. So much for that. Our drinks didn't come to the table until about 5 to 7 minutes after our meal. I don't understand it. The food itself (schnitzel) was so-so. Overall, a very, very poor performance. Too bad. It is more than questionable whether we will ever go to this restaurant again.

Great food and calm nice atmosphere just enjoy and take time to eat

Ambience - nice - 5 stars Service - friendly and fast - 5 stars Food - delicious - only the sauce on the entire schnitzel wasn't necessary. The whole schnitzel was too greasy for me. Salad needs improvement. A bit of green leaves and that was it. I'm not a rabbit. But it's just my opinion.

Negative reviews will not be published

The Café de Sol is always a good choice to meet up with friends, family or business partners. Service and food top.

Everything's great, but I find it really much too loud, partly due to the lack of partitions that would break up the noise. No, I'm not old 🤣 but when I literally have to shout at the person I'm talking to when I'm talking, it's really annoying in the long run. Therefore only 3 stars out of 5 for the ambience

Well located Del Sol. As in all the others, you find your way straight away. The service is attentive and friendly. The food and drinks here are the same as at others in the chain. There are enough parking spaces available.

The schnitzels are highly recommended. Extremely delicious. I like the idea that you can catch up as much as you can. This gives you the option of having several different options at a cost. The only thing that was a bit loud was the volume when the restaurant was full, but I don't think there's anything that can be changed due to the design.

Service super friendly, unfortunately just very loud. Food prompt and huge portion.

Were there for breakfast during the week. Not too busy. Very nice and courteous service.

Very friendly service staff, delicious food.

The Café del Sol has been a regular restaurant in Castrop for what feels like ages. The Café del Sol itself has developed over the years with ups and downs. The competition has certainly also been good for Café del Sol's guests. So the service and also the food have developed in the right direction again. The service in particular is really good and friendly. The volume problem is well known and spoils the otherwise relaxed impression. However, what nips any holiday atmosphere in the bud are the men's toilets. The smell of urine hits you as soon as you open the door, that's not possible and needs to be improved urgently.

Always with a large group but also often as a couple here at de sol in Castrop Rauxel. The food is always delicious! Very attentive waiter, super nice manager. And guest satisfaction is very important here. Whether it's short-term reservations, pre-ordering shortly before the kitchen closes or being attentive to one another, such as in the month of Ramadan... food arrives on time with dates and water, fresh and hot. Simply great! We always feel very comfortable here👍🏼👍🏼

Met with a large group for breakfast. The buffet offered a large selection of culinary delicacies. Price was okay. Service very attentive and friendly.

We just wanted to have breakfast on Sunday morning, but unfortunately it wasn't possible, only brunch. That was too much for us and too expensive at over €20 per person. So it stayed with coffee. Next time we'll go somewhere else - it's a shame.

I was there this evening. I had a lasagna that was really delicious. Unfortunately the plates were too soft. The service was particularly good. So incredibly friendly and sweet. Although it was very crowded, loud and stressful. I'm thrilled.

The ambience is nice, but the prices are very high. Price performance no longer matches.

Always nice and comfortable. Food great and service great

We were there on New Year's Eve. Great atmosphere and really friendly staff. Among other things, we played champagne pong against the staff. We were 4 couples and it was a great way to start the evening. Food was good as usual and prices were absolutely ok too. for New Year's Eve. We'll definitely do it again.

Food good The young waitress was very polite and made our stay pleasant Food and drinks arrived quickly and all special requests were fulfilled

I was a guest at Café de sol with my two children and a friend. I would like to expressly praise the friendly service here. -child friendly -guest-oriented -attentive The dishes, on the other hand, urgently need to be revised. - the currywurst was really bad, what kind of sausage is that? Bockwurst? We noted this and nothing was taken into account. -the pasta is in oil and the turkey strips were very well done. -the schnitzel Café de sol wasn't even really warm. In conclusion: 2 currywurst, 1 schnitzel, 1 pasta, 1 sprite, 1 fanta and 2 raspberry lemon soda, just over 70 euros gone... and by the way... at the neighboring table there was a bunch of bullying men who then continued outside the door and only let us pass after strong insistence... the owner and shift manager would have taken care of it and not sent a young waitress ahead.

A really very nice restaurant, a wide selection of meals that will satisfy every customer. The waiters are also there permanently and take care of the customers on a very friendly level. The price-performance ratio is also top, I would recommend it to everyone. There are also more than enough parking spaces on site, so there is room for everyone. There are also many vegetarian dishes, which are also ideal for vegetarians.

We went there for brunch on Christmas Day. We were warmly welcomed and when it was noticed that something had gone wrong with the reservation (there was no reservation in our name), Jessica remained calm, friendly and completely relaxed. Three tables were quickly pushed together and...problem solved. Our cellar, a “Christmas elf,” was super nice and attentive. The buffet was well stocked, all the dishes were labeled and we enjoyed it excellently. Many thanks to the super friendly team, it was very nice with you.🫶🏼

Beautiful place with great ambience. We had our Christmas party there in a small family circle. Highly recommended!

I've been going to Café del Sol every weekend for years and unfortunately I've noticed how it's declining. We were there today and it started with the carne chili which tasted like pasta sauce. Unfortunately very disappointing. The spare ribs tasted like they had come from the freezer and I immediately had extreme stomach problems afterwards. Unfortunately, the curry cream soup wasn't that great either. For €77 you would expect a bit more quality. As always, the staff was super friendly.

My husband and I have each other Decided to have our anniversary at the cafe del Sol to spend. Unfortunately that was Experience not as we hoped had. I liked my curry cream soup Unfortunately I didn't like the taste because it was very thick, so I took it Could hardly touch the burger afterwards. We spent a total of €80 for the meal paid what in relation to the quality unfortunately it was too expensive. Furthermore, we had afterwards both stomach pains, what the Broke something in the evening Overall it was one for us disappointing experience - a shame Money.

Highly recommended schnitzel vacation

Very tasty food. When it's full it sometimes takes a long time for the food to arrive, but otherwise everything is perfect!

Schnitzel with mushrooms was very tasty and beautifully prepared. Service very nice. Prices are still acceptable.

It was a very, very great evening

Very nice restaurant, recommended.

We were very satisfied there, the staff was attentive, the food was really good, we also liked the atmosphere, there was even a small playground inside and outside for the kids, we will definitely be back.

A Del Sol like all the others. Nice, friendly service

Like all Café del Sol's, but with very nice, accommodating staff

Nice service, reasonable coffee.

Always delicious and the staff is always very friendly

Poor value for money and very noisy

Unfortunately very loud. But schnitzel as always very tasty

You feel comfortable, very cozy. Very nice service.

Super nice service!!! Very friendly and helpful. Food was ok for the price too.

TOP all around!! It was my third time there and everything was perfect every time. Delicious food, served quickly after ordering, friendly and attentive staff with impeccable service, neatly clean toilets and an appropriate and well-thought-out hygiene concept. Others are welcome to “take a leaf out of it”. Keep it up, I (as well as my 3 companions) am/are very satisfied customers!! Thank you very much! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Service top, ambience top! The waffles were cold that day

I would even give 6 stars for the service during our visit on October 23rd after 7 p.m. All service staff in Germany can rely on these employees. Thank you

Cozy atmosphere, nice service. Gladly again 😃

My absolute favorite café – always worth a visit! As a regular guest at Café del Sol, I can only say that it is a highlight every time! The atmosphere is unbeatable - a touch of vacation in the middle of the city, with a relaxed yet lively atmosphere. I particularly like that you can always find a comfortable place both inside and outside, no matter what time of year. When it comes to food, there really is a great selection! The burgers are highly recommended – always fresh and juicy. But my personal favorite is the avocado slice: perfectly toasted bread, plenty of avocado and wonderful spices, simply heavenly. And if desired, prawns or serrano as a topping. By the way, brunch on the weekend is also a must! The staff is always friendly, attentive and quick, even when it's busy - which is often the case because the cafe is so popular. Whether for breakfast, lunch or a nice dinner with friends, Café del Sol is always the right choice. I look forward to coming back every time! Best regards Carmen Pssst
