Cafe Efes Bistro in Bochum

Delicious German meals at a fair price. Always happy to go there.

I recently ate at Pizzeria Giuseppe in Bochum and was very disappointed. I had bruschetta as a starter, which was fine, but the pizza was a complete disaster. I ordered a Pizza Funghi, but was served one with ham and mushrooms, even though I had specifically requested a vegetarian option. As a vegetarian, I sent it back, expecting them to make a new pizza. Instead, the waiter – who is also the owner – brought the pizza back a short time later and assured me he hadn't forgotten about me, trusting that the pizza was indeed meat-free. However, upon closer inspection, it became obvious that they had simply removed the ham instead of making a fresh pizza – I only noticed this after I had started eating. There were still bits of meat everywhere. When I asked about it, they even confirmed that they had simply removed the meat – along with a rather flimsy excuse. In my opinion, this is an absolutely unprofessional and disrespectful way to treat customers who have specific dietary requirements. That's a real shame – this is how you lose trust! Also, an appetizer was served as dessert because it had been forgotten.

The burgers were delicious! The best we've had in a long time, everything cooked to perfection. Highly recommended! :)

Delicious food, attentive and friendly service. Seated in a lovely setting. All in all, a lovely evening. Thank you, highly recommended. We'll be back.
