Cafe Del Sol Mönchengladbach in Mönchengladbach

How good a restaurant really is becomes apparent when it comes to its restrooms. Over a month ago, a review here mentioned the smell in the restrooms. They promised to take care of it. I was there today, and the smell in the accessible restroom was unbearable, an outrage!

Relatively expensive and small quantity for average food, irritated service. The ambiance and selection were good.

The only thing about the place is the atmosphere. I don't need to eat the food a second time. The staff is a complete disaster. I even managed to go back a second time because my wife insisted, even though the food wasn't good the first time. The staff was downright rude and unprofessional. If you want a bad mood, feel free to go there...

Breakfast was good...but for someone like me who only eats a roll, the prices are really overpriced..🤔🙄

The food was truly excellent, and the service was incredibly friendly. The atmosphere is nice, but the size makes it less cozy and it gets very loud when it's busy.

🌞 Cafe Del Sol = Sun in your stomach! 🍽️✨ Food? Absolutely delicious! 😋 Service? Fast, friendly, attentive – almost too good for this world! 🛎️😄 Atmosphere? Pure vacation feeling! 🌴🍹 We ​​came hungry, stayed happy, and went home plump and satisfied 😅🍰 Clearly: 5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – we'll be back, no question! 🙌🔥

Good location for quick business meetings. Always parking and direct access to the motorway. Great staff and excellent coffee. The food is convenience but well-made.

Always a pleasure! Conveniently located, fast, and delicious. Also a good meeting place for a quick business lunch.

Unfortunately, it's all gone downhill. It's a real shame. I used to love going there. The only nice thing is the ambiance – which has also diminished somewhat since then. The food is unfortunately too bad for the prices. Update July 21, 2023: I went there again yesterday with a friend. The food (burgers) was delicious, and the waitress was very nice and approachable. We didn't lack for anything. It was a lovely evening.

We really enjoy our time here. A few dishes could be better, like the burger. Still, I enjoy going here with friends because the drinks are good and the atmosphere is great. Next time, I'll probably stick to the dishes I've already enjoyed.

It's very relaxed and always like a little vacation... Unfortunately, the service is also very relaxed... I've waited over 30 minutes several times before anyone even came to my table. And every time it was in the afternoon, and it was anything but busy... It's no fun like that. The drinks, especially the non-alcoholic Spritzers and mocktails, are absolutely delicious! The food isn't really my thing, but that's a matter of taste. But this waiting is annoying. Today I left without being served...

Nice place to go with friends. At times very loud. Seating arrangement outside in the summers. Busy hours can make you wait and experience inattentive staff. I personally don’t find it much friendly… kind of cold. Food is not bad … I like lava cake :-)

Great restaurant with a holiday atmosphere. Delicious breakfast, attentive and friendly service.

always nice at Cafe del Sol, nice ambience and good food

Ambience great, price performance totally overpriced (breakfast buffet), service very bad, you have to wait forever!

First of all: We were there with 4 people for Mother's Day brunch, so it was full, which is what we expected, we weren't concerned about time. But the brunch portion was more about quantity than class. That totally disappointed me because I was just looking forward to it. The chicken wings, for example, were only in the oven/fryer for a short time, not a single piece was crispy and the vegetable casserole apparently hadn't even seen the oven, there was a sticky raw egg floating on my plate, which in my opinion isn't possible because of the risk of samonella. This should have been prepared better, even though it is full. However, I have to praise the waiters/waiters, even though it was so busy and hectic, they were all super nice.

Very relaxed good food and drinks

Just bad!!! Pooh The waiting room is beyond untidy and the reception unfriendly. Would never visit this practice again

I can recommend. Very healthy and tasty. Friendly service. Music a bit too loud.

Expensive but nicely decorated. Unfortunately I had to wait 20 minutes for the waiter while only 3 tables out of 100 were occupied. So I don't know how long you have to wait on a busy day.

Unfortunately, I was disappointed with my visit. I ordered two latte macchiatos with Amaretto syrup and paid a whopping €18 for them - a really high price for two drinks. However, the service was even more annoying: When I wanted to pay, I had to wait at the checkout for almost 10 minutes without anyone coming or feeling responsible. Something like this shouldn't happen in a well-organized cafe. It's a shame, because the atmosphere was actually quite nice

No fresh schnitzel but frozen goods

I've never eaten such a bad burger for 16 euros. 2 patties, just tasted horrible. Frozen food, I don't even want to know what I ate. I also found the arugula at some point, the owner should be ashamed for basically selling something like that! The service was great, he took my criticism extremely well and did his job really well. The ambience is good. The men's room is like the burger. It was definitely the last time!

Great ambience, lots of seats, large terrace. Lots of parking spaces directly at the restaurant. Fast and nice service, good prices.

Very cozy. Staff very friendly and the location is perfect

I went there again with my family for a schnitzel holiday after a long time - and it was absolutely worth it! The food was very tasty and we were able to order again and again. For the price of €18.90 you really can't complain. Everything was perfect – the service was also friendly and accommodating. We would definitely like to come back!

Good food, nice service. Nice to sit outside in summer

The food was delicious. Unfortunately the service wasn't particularly attentive. We waited a long time for the drinks, which didn't come at the same time. The lack of hygiene in the women's toilet with an unbearable stench is simply unacceptable!

Unfortunately it's no longer what it used to be. Inside, the ravages of time have left their mark, especially on the seats. Long waiting times for food etc. in a half-empty restaurant.

A very popular café in Mönchengladbach. The waitresses here are all very nice and friendly. We just drank coffee and ate something. The coffee, i.e. the cappuccino, was very small for the price. But overall everything was fine.

Ambience is very nice, the food is okay for the price-performance ratio

Overall a relaxed atmosphere, friendly, attentive staff, unfortunately understaffed so everything was a bit chaotic. The food is average, but I wouldn't expect more from a place like this, so it's good. With 2-3 more waiters, things would run much better and more attention could be paid to the toilets, refilling soap, and cleanliness. For a relaxed evening with friends where the most important thing is a social get-together in a relaxed atmosphere is definitely recommended 🙂

My wife and I recently had dinner at this restaurant. First of all, I have to say: We were pleasantly surprised by the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff. You are really warmly welcomed here and feel like you are in good hands, which is unfortunately no longer a given these days. The parking situation was pleasantly uncomplicated, we found a space straight away, which is really helpful for us as older people. The atmosphere in the restaurant was also cozy and clean, you can tell that effort is being made here. However, and this should not be overlooked, the prices have now become quite high. Of course, this is now the case in many places, but if you pay more, you expect corresponding quality and, above all, a reasonable waiting time. Unfortunately we had to wait a relatively long time for our food; we had ordered schnitzel and ribs. After a while my wife became restless and our extremely friendly waitress asked the shift manager, a lady named Schalin, to come to our table. And what can I say: This young woman did her job brilliantly. She personally took time for us, took our dissatisfaction seriously and responded very understandingly. She also explained to us that it was exceptionally crowded that evening, which to be honest we saw. To bridge the waiting time, we were even brought fresh bread with aioli, a small gesture that left a big impression on us. When the food finally came, it tasted good, the schnitzel was nice and crispy, but a little too much for my wife, the ribs could have been a little more tender, but the side dishes were well balanced. It was a bit of a shame that the waiting time spoiled the overall impression, but the really attentive and friendly service made up for it. Conclusion: The prices are not cheap, the wait was long, but you feel welcome here. Thanks to the great service, especially from Ms. Schalin, we will definitely give the restaurant a second chance. Maybe not on such a busy evening.

Schnitzel all you can eat at an unbeatable price. Nice service, the food came quickly and tasted good.

Quite pleasant service. Shalin 👍 keep it up.

Disappointing visit – unfortunately not what it once was Unfortunately, my last visit to Café del Sol was very disappointing. The pasta dish was served carelessly on a simple plate and tasted rather boring. The portion was also surprisingly small. The service seemed disorganized and inattentive - our re-ordered bread was completely forgotten. Even the homemade iced tea, once a highlight, now tastes bland and has nothing to do with the quality of bygone times. Overall, the price-performance ratio was absolutely not good. My money is simply too good for what was offered. I won't come back again - what a shame!

We celebrated a friend's birthday there and everything was great. It was my first time there, the staff was super nice and kept coming to the table and asking if we would like anything else. The food came quickly, good portion and super tasty. The drinks are a decent size. Our every wish was fulfilled, the cake we brought with us could be put in the fridge, and even the water for a baby was made warm. Simply great!

The staff is very friendly. Often you wait quite a long time because staff are probably missing. Unfortunately, the menu/dishes are being changed more and more often. For example, there are no longer sunny scrambled eggs with feta cheese for breakfast. We have been regular guests for many years and are really not gluttons, but you can hardly get full anymore and everything is becoming more and more expensive 🙈 Well.. But there is a nice atmosphere both in winter and especially in summer. ☀️

Breakfast buffet is very good! Salmon, egg dishes, sausage, cheese, salads, various types of bread and rolls, etc. For those with a sweet tooth, there are small pieces of cake and desserts in glasses.

The two of us were there today on a Sunday shortly before 10 p.m. and were greeted in a very friendly manner by “Moha”. He informed us that the kitchen would be closing soon, but was happy to take our order. Moha was super personable, warm and very accommodating with everything. Even though we were there so recently and the restaurant was almost empty, we felt very comfortable and the food also tasted great 😊

Great service, delicious food! Everything tip-top!

Whether it's breakfast or lunch, it's always appetizingly prepared and for me it's very 😋

So, the service was very nice. But anyone who uses FROZEN patties for burgers in 2025 (really now??) instead of using fresh patties will definitely never see us as customers again! Today there are real burger shops everywhere with 100% freshly minced beef every day. Café Del Sol's system is quite a disgrace! If you want frozen food, open the freezer at home. ADDENDUM to the answer: I hope your answer was meant as a joke? So when you order your “favorite food” burger, people all over the world ask HOW the meat should be FRIED! You can't even offer a COOKING LEVEL for the meat of the burger (you don't fry, you deep-fry the patties!), which every good burger shop can do with "consistent quality". Why can't you do it?

I'm being nice, actually only 1 star would be due after waiting 1.5 hours for the food, although after an hour I politely asked where was the food and someone came after 1.5 hours and asked if we would like it for free. I'll eat somewhere else in the future.

Food is recommended. The ambience is very nice. You should just explain to the staff what a friendly demeanor is. Nobody wants to be served by grumpy staff. It's a shame actually

I spent my birthday here and enjoy eating there with friends and family. The atmosphere is great and, especially when it gets warm, you can sit outside.

Very friendly, helpful service, comfortable to sit in.

The Café del Sol offers a good selection of food and drinks, and the spacious terrace is a great place to sit outside, especially on sunny days. Ample parking is available.

Delicious food combined with nice ambience. The citizens are recommended!

We are very disappointed. Unfortunately the burger was cold. Not even lukewarm. You couldn't even complain to the service staff because they simply never came by. They preferred to stand together at the front of the bar and talk. We had to wait forever for drinks. It wasn't because there weren't enough staff there, but because only 2 out of 8 were actually working and the others were standing next to each other talking most of the time. Very unfortunate.

Yes, sure. It's great. Just don't go there too early. At 8 p.m. all hell breaks loose

Very tasty food. The service was a bit slow. But still okay. The burgers were very tasty and the chili cheese fries were great. The cheesecake was also really great. A nice end to a Sunday trip.

Absolutely not recommended. Staff unfriendly. After 20 minutes no menu, no drinks. Never again, save yourself the journey.

Good presentation, parking spaces 1a... and that's about it. Uncomfortably loud when more than 10 tables are occupied Staff: They always made an effort...friendly and accommodating Food: It tastes good, but it's nothing special. Frozen/ready meal category. Price/performance=expensive. The volume is quite unpleasant! You sit opposite each other and have to speak very loudly in order to make yourself understood above the "basic volume". The idea is good and with some ideas and effort the store would get a 3-4 star rating

As a guest, the waitress Nadja puts you in a bad mood. Unfortunately not at first. I'd say she's in the wrong job. Anyone who is in such a bad mood and makes a fuss (sorry, but there's no other way to describe it) should consider whether they want to continue working on guests.

Enjoy a schnitzel on the go. Nice tent with a supercharger on site

Unfortunately, I can't rate the food because even when the sun is shining and there are heaters outside, you're not served... Unfortunately, that's a problem every spring. The service staff is still great, they can't do anything about their guidelines. But after so many years, I would think it would be great if it would work to be served outside... That's really a big drawback and gets around as a criticism...

System catering. Ambiance and service good

First of all, we were forgotten after ordering (8 people) and then we waited an hour for our food. When the food finally came, it was cold. We were forced to eat it because we were so hungry. Of course, there wasn't enough sauce on the burgers and the meat was already dead and very dry due to the long standing time. For a tablespoon of coleslaw we were charged €3. Absolutely ridiculous. They didn't want to know anything about compensation. Everything that could go wrong went wrong here. The store will definitely not see us again. The worst Café del Sol in the area. An absolute tragedy. Our guests were more than disappointed. It was also very embarrassing for us.

Were there for the second time today and I think it was the last time too... the ladies' toilet smelled terrible, there was no toilet paper there, the cobwebs in the dining room between the wooden beams should be removed and the burgers are just too expensive for this size and nothing special, the only positive thing was the staff, very friendly and accommodating

A bit too "loud" for my taste, but that's due to the size of the room and therefore has something "canteen-like" about it. Food was ok, friendly staff.

We expect food. High convenience. The service was terrible, even though it wasn't really full, a waitress was rarely available. Really a shame

Went there this evening and were totally disappointed with the service. First we waited a long time at the front until someone was there and took us to the table. Then they didn't even ask if we had reserved but simply showed us a table. After the meal, neither the plate nor the glasses nor anyone showed up. In the 1 hour total, we were there for 1:30 hours. A dog kept balling and none of the waiters said anything. It's a shame. The mood was in the basement and I had never experienced such bad service before. And then expect people to give tips. Wow

Very nice there and friendly staff, highly recommended 👍

We were very dissatisfied today. Our first impression was full of skepticism. Once seated, we had to wait over 15 minutes to place our order. For the schnitzel holiday we were hoping for, an incredibly long waiting time (approx. 40-50 minutes), even though the house wasn't really full. When asked, they said that the kitchen no longer had so much to do. However, it took just as long for the next order. The staff always walked past the table and left the plates. All in all, I have to say, I can't make a recommendation unless there is a significant change in the service attitude. The price-performance ratio (food) is really great, but due to the waiting time you are full before you can order again. We were definitely very disappointed and will be changing houses.

So, we were really looking forward to finally having a schnitzel vacation again. But if you have to wait twice for 40 minutes for your food, you can no longer speak of “all you can eat”. Because it seemed a little like they wanted to get us full quicker. I don't eat 10 schnitzels, but I would have liked to eat one more. The empty plates also stood in front of us for an eternity. Even when the second schnitzel finally came, the plates were still in the way. Not very nice. Unfortunately, attention to the guest was not given. What I also think isn't so nice are the new plates. The high edge is a bit annoying when cutting the meat, this is just a note. We are usually guests at the Café del Sol in Mühlheim, big compliments to the team there. I have to honestly say, the service there is much better 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 But the food was good as usual. Greetings Christin

A nice shop to sit together and have a little something to eat and drink.

Fast and friendly service. I was expecting more special features on the map. This is already very mainstream! Ordered rigatoni aioli with additional chicken. The food was good without being shiny. Plenty of free parking spaces in front of the door and an indoor atmosphere that you like or not. Well attended, therefore a successful concept.

Unfortunately, some dishes are not of such high quality or interpreted differently, but other dishes are very tasty. Service is also very diligent, but unfortunately I don't see any class in the restaurant. It's okay for a social evening with buddies or friends.

Very cozy atmosphere, super nice staff and endless schnitzel from Monday to Thursday. Highly recommended.

I am very pleased that we were there on a Saturday afternoon and ate and drank there. The staff came to you quite quickly and took the orders. The spritzers taste good, are not too watery and the food was warm and a relatively large portion. The price was perfectly fine. Always my pleasure.

I'm invited to a birthday brunch at Cafe del Sol today. Since I've been here several times, I unfortunately have to say that it's getting worse and worse. Unfortunately, the shortage of skilled workers also comes into play here. The breakfast was very simple, but good. The bacon with the scrambled eggs was extremely salty. Brunch lasts until 1 p.m. Unfortunately at 12:30 there were only leftovers. Among other things, there were chicken wings. They were extremely spicy. They had no color at all. They looked like they were still raw.

I've only had one Pinsa so far, so I can't comment much on the food

Cafe del Sol is getting quite old. Went there spontaneously to eat, until we were informed on site that there was only breakfast until 1 p.m. Not a word about it on the phone. We were there shortly before 12. There was almost nothing left of the hot buffet and it wasn't refilled either. The apple spritzer consisted of 90% water and 10% apple juice plus a dark hair that got lost. The food was of the lowest quality, you didn't know what to eat for 20.90. If you want a normal, rich and warm brunch, you should go to Losteria Mönchengladbach. Never again Cafe del sol.....

Service was a complete disaster, a waiter came straight to take the order where we were just about to take off our jackets and weren't even sitting down, he was apparently in a hurry😡 but if you need the waiter, no one is totally dissatisfied👎

Limited to just 2 hours on Boxing Day. It wasn't that nice, so no repeat.

All in all, pretty average. Not really bad but not really convincingly good either.

I am a frequent guest at Cafe Del Sol and can only say positive things. The staff is friendly across the board and always tries to do justice to the guest. The restaurant is cozy and nicely decorated. The food I've eaten there so far has been good, the burgers aren't the best for me, but I've also eaten significantly worse ones, which doesn't mean that they're bad, just not to my taste. The prices are quite high but acceptable given the possibilities. The portions are okay. I enjoy being there and will definitely be a guest there more often!

Food mediocre, service lackluster and ambience usable.

Café del Sol is a reliable place for good food and delicious drinks. The burgers and cocktails impress with their high quality every time. The service is always friendly and quick, which makes the visit particularly pleasant. The modern ambience with the high ceilings creates a welcoming atmosphere that I really like. The price-performance ratio is absolutely fair, and the diverse selection of dishes leaves nothing to be desired - everything I've tried so far has been delicious. For a chain restaurant, Café del Sol really delivers good quality.

We liked our food and the very nice and friendly atmosphere, but their soups are exceptionally excellent.

Quite a nice ambience, with the Christmas decorations the prices of drinks have more than just gone down… just under €7 for a liter of water is steep…

The lasagne was delicious but a little smaller than expected

A little loud but otherwise good. Buffet is ok

Sorry never again!! Waited exactly 1 hour for normal breakfast. Drinks - latte, coffee & cocoa - cold, soft drinks didn't arrive at all in some places. Service has failed completely! Ah yes, the rush was only after we were still waiting for our order. The service was very nice and felt a little sorry for me!

Very nice place fot Breakfast or Brunch

It's very loud in this place, even when there's not much going on

Great food, friendly stuff, lovely atmosphere.

Very tasty food, but sometimes there is so much going on that you can hardly get a waiter to take new orders etc.

We were here on a Monday. The restaurant was not full but we had to wait an unreasonably long time for the food and drinks. Therefore only one star for the service.

Service is world class! Mohamed is simply a professional!

Staff very friendly, food was good but drinks were very bad. Cappuccino was the worst and unfortunately there was always no bread. We had to leave at some point because we didn't feel like waiting for the rolls anymore

Food tastes good, nice and tender meat.

One of the most wonderful places

It used to be significantly better, but no wonder with the waitress

We were here for breakfast brunch. It was comparatively loud because it was very crowded. The food was tasty, but it didn't stand out in a positive way either. All in all a good breakfast.

We went to Café del Sol for the first time today. Our first impression was quite positive. The restaurant was very well attended and we particularly liked the outdoor area. Unfortunately, it quickly became apparent that the initially positive impression did not last long. The volume inside is enormous. You can hardly understand what the person next to you is saying. We also waited almost 20 minutes for our drinks and even then they didn't come in full, but in several stages, for which we had to wait again and again. Now let's get to the food: We ordered from across the menu. Both the schnitzels and the salads were nothing to complain about. The taste and portions were great. What we unfortunately found very negative were the pinsas. Although they tasted great, the price was outrageous (almost €15). Unfortunately, they were really disappointing. Unfortunately, even a complaint was laughed at and ignored. All in all, the food was very good, at least in terms of taste. But we probably won't come back due to the overall conditions.

Everything is great but the prices are crazy

I had lunch there with a friend. We both ordered pasta dishes. When the food arrived I was very disappointed. My companion's plate looked rich and delicious, whereas mine was only half the portion, was hardly salted and was generally neutral in taste. In terms of price, such quality is not justified at all. The bottom line is that I wouldn't have too high expectations when it comes to the food. It's like playing the lottery. Sometimes you're lucky and it tastes good and sometimes it doesn't. Service was okay, although no one came to the table in between. So conclusion: if you want to go out for a drink and also enjoy a decent ambience, you're in good hands. I can't recommend going out to eat.

Waited a very long time to pay. Waitress was spoken to 3 times and waited for about 35 minutes.
