Cafe Extrablatt Olpe, BiggeSeeFront in Olpe

A beautifully decorated café right on the promenade with easy parking. Naturally, it was completely packed on a Saturday morning, but the service was prompt and the buffet was always fresh and delicious. The prices were absolutely reasonable for the quality.

The breakfast buffet was plentiful and constantly refilled; the service was clearly understaffed but still friendly. The price is definitely worth it!

The view is beautiful but the service is horrible and disrespectful.

Beautiful location, extensive, delicious breakfast buffet, friendly staff. We were there with friends at 10:00 a.m. on a Sunday morning (booked about a week and a half in advance). Unfortunately, it felt like 200 other guests had the same idea, so there were very long lines at the buffet, and some of the dishes sold out very quickly. The very attentive staff unfortunately couldn't quite keep up with refilling items and taking orders, which meant it wasn't quite as relaxed for us as we would have liked. We'll definitely be back, though, probably on a different day of the week 😉

Delicious food and drinks, friendly service, would gladly return.

Absolutely. Delicious food, great service

Yes, but the conditions take their time. And you think you're not being noticed.

The staff was friendly, but not particularly attentive. The buffet has also become smaller. Overall, the extra mile in food and service has decreased. It's a shame.

Interesting food and drink options. A special menu for vegetarians and vegans. Great cocktails. Right on the river. Friendly service; relaxed atmosphere.

Yes and no... the food and drinks are extremely expensive... but the view of the lake makes up for it!

Great breakfast buffet, even during the week. Plenty of choice, everything fresh and delicious. Kudos to the friendly waiter (with glasses). Very friendly, customer-oriented service!

One of the most beautifully located "Extrablatt" restaurants, with a direct view of the lake!! Excellent food, huge drink selection, fantastic cocktails, attentive, friendly staff, and always open to special requests! I'd love to go there again! 10*!!!👍🏻 Today, February 14, 2024, my wife surprised me with a Valentine's Day dinner with an appetizer, a cocktail, a main course, and dessert! It was super delicious, plentiful, and absolutely beautifully prepared! Thank you so much, my love, for the wonderful evening💕! ILD🥰 And also a huge thank you to the Extrablatt team!! 👍🏻👍🏻

It's beautiful there. Everything was perfect. Very child-friendly!

All in all, very, very bad. The waitress didn't even greet us. The food was a disaster!! My pizza rolls were simply raw, meaning the dough wasn't baked. No one came to ask if everything was okay. Truly, all in all, a disaster.

Drink prices subjectively too high

5 stars – amazing view, top service & heavenly apple strudel! The Extrablat Olpe is a truly cool spot to chill and enjoy. The view of Lake Bigge is simply next level – perfect for relaxing and enjoying yourself, especially when the weather is nice. The apple strudel? A dream! Nice and warm, crispy, and super delicious – paired with a coffee, it's truly the perfect pairing. Another really positive thing: The waitresses were incredibly friendly, super attentive, and just in a good mood. You immediately feel welcome and completely at ease. In short: great atmosphere, delicious food, amazing view – I'll definitely be back!

The waitress prefers to fold napkins and doesn't notice that guests have arrived. You have to wave or go to the counter to announce your order. The staff just stands around bored.

It is often full. Why? Because it's good. The location at Biggesee is initially a highlight. If you can sit outside in the summer, it won't be difficult to wait because there is always something to see. The food is always of the usual good quality. I would like to highlight the brunch buffet. Very well equipped, it is constantly replenished. You feel comfortable there.

we always have a good time here! The service is good. There are a few attentive waiters including Kevin & Joy.

Hi. I had a delicious burger. It was super tasty. Nice ambience right on the Biggesee. The service was very nice and accommodating.

In any case, I will praise Extrablatt Olpe highly. 👍👍👍

Location, ambience and service good.

- Delicious food - Staff nice and helpful (but we had to wait until someone could speak) - Volume very extreme (both from the guests and the music)

Nice café by the water or on the promenade. Service was a bit overwhelmed, okay, it was also full. The timing was probably also bad; the breakfast buffet was being cleaned up. Still a bit disorganized, nothing at first for 15 minutes, then within 3 minutes 3 waitresses asked what we would like to order.

It's nice that I'm sitting here with the family to take part in the breakfast buffet. We've been sitting here for about 45 minutes and no waiter has had the idea to ask for a drink. At this exact moment I let the children drink a drink from my wife's handbag because the children are thirsty! Even that didn't seem to interest the waitress because they were just looking. The waiting time at the buffet and plate distribution is quite long, which is unfortunately due to the layout. In comparison to the selection of the nearest extra sheet in Siegen is very low. Siegen offers much more in terms of food and service!!! A waitress managed to come to the table and asked for drinks. Incredible performance that took about 55 minutes to achieve. Do yourself a favor by traveling to Siegen, even if the location isn't that nice.

Unfortunately, the behavior of the service is an absolute disgrace. You wait almost 1 hour for a portion of fries. You're also told that you can't do magic, which is a real shame, I thought you could do magic too. It would be nice to get more respect or you have to learn to behave better.

Nice restaurant on the water, good food, a place for family, friends and singles

Nice place right on the outskirts of the Biggesee

Nice for breakfast, nice view of the Bigge

It's been a long time since I've had such good service at Extrablatt as in Olpe. Respect. You can be proud of that. And the buffet was great. Plenty of choice. So I always enjoy coming back to you. And then there are photos I forgot today. I can only recommend it, keep it up.

Very nicely located with a view of the Biggesee. You can park close by and have the parking ticket stamped on your bill. The staff is always on site and friendly

Yes, beautifully located on the bigge, delicious food and a really nice ambience with a view of the bigge

Located directly on the Biggesee. And there is also a private parking lot. The food is very good there. The service is top👍 Regardless of whether it's with friends, a date or something similar, I would recommend it to everyone first.

Wonderful view Food as always good

Have been here many times for the breakfast buffet and have never been disappointed. Everything is delicious and beautifully prepared. We are constantly checking to see if everything is still there. The selection is more than enough and there is something for everyone. Kudos to the whole team!

I am waiting for my beer for last 30 minutes. Where are you bro

Café Extrablatt is Out of this world. Location, staff and selection of food and beverages are extraordinary. A must if you visit the Biggesee and/or Olpe.

We were there today and had to wait almost 20 minutes for service, even though it wasn't really full. We had planned to eat something, but since it took so long we didn't get around to it. The service definitely needs to be optimized. The bill for 2 drinks also took a while to arrive. Overall very dissatisfied. The store only runs because of its name.

Food was great, unfortunately the service wasn't that reliable. It was busy, but despite repeated requests, the drink we ordered wasn't brought.

It wasn't the first time that we were met with absolutely poor service. The first time we ordered we got 2x fries even though we only ordered once. For dessert we ordered ice cream without whipped cream for our children, what a surprise, it was of course served with whipped cream. With every complaint, the blame was placed on us and, no wonder, there was of course no apology or kind word. Anyone who hopes that someone will ask if everything is okay or if they would like more drinks, etc. will also be disappointed. Since we have experienced this behavior several times in a row, I wanted to write this review. If I could give 0 stars for the service I would. The Sauerland has such beautiful restaurants to offer, so you'd better look for something else where your money would be better spent. We won't be coming back any time soon.

You can sit there very comfortably and enjoy the food with a beautiful view

The burgers are decent. Great atmosphere with the water view :)

A really great place to stop by, great tasty dishes and the prices are impressive

Service doesn't exist here, pay takes 3 hours, eat takes 1 hour even though there was almost nothing going on

I recently had an extremely disturbing experience at the Extrablatt in Olpe. When I ordered an iced chocolate shake, I found pieces of plastic in my drink. This is not only disgusting, but also extremely dangerous. The pieces of plastic were so sharp that I could have choked or suffered internal bleeding. After I pointed this out to the staff, I received a new shake, but I was constantly worried that there might be pieces of plastic in it again. Such lack of care and hygiene is absolutely unacceptable. Such incidents should be reported to the health department. I will definitely avoid this place and cannot recommend it to anyone. Edit: Extrablatt Olpe has tried to have my review deleted several times, unfortunately without success because luckily I have photos and invoices as evidence. Kind regards

It was very nice, the breakfast buffet had a large selection. Thank you

It was very cozy and the food was delicious! The service was very friendly and attentive.

The two of us went there for breakfast. I've always enjoyed being there. Were there around 10am. Just under €14 per person without drinks. Lots of things empty and not refilled e.g. Waited about 15 minutes for rolls Onion Mettwurst was empty when we arrived and was only refilled for about an hour when we left. The service team seemed overloaded. Unfortunately not again

I can only recommend the Extrablatt, great atmosphere, good and friendly service, the food is great, large selection, something for every taste. A place to feel good.

The Café Extrablatt is beautifully located on a branch of the Bigge, directly on the water. Ideal to stop off after a walk. The staff is super friendly and there's nothing to complain about when it comes to service. The food is also very tasty 😋 and comes to the table quickly and fresh. I particularly like the selection of unusual, seasonal drinks. For example, homemade lemonade or, in winter, various hot spiced chocolates (cocoa). We always stop there when we are nearby.

Unfortunately the service is not good. We had to wait 20 minutes at breakfast until someone finally came to collect. Plates were not cleared and juice is no longer included in breakfast. You get a juice with 0.2l. Salad tasted sour and was not edible. According to the kitchen staff, this is how it should taste. We can't believe... It used to be better, what a shame.

The three of us were here today on a surprisingly sunny day and the beautiful outdoor area was correspondingly well attended. The food met expectations BUT the service from the young lady who served us exceeded all expectations! We expected to have to wait a long time for the food and service but it wasn't like that. The service was quick and competent, despite what was probably enormous stress. Thank you!

We went to the breakfast buffet. What we didn't like were the tables and the small plates that were too small. 1 roll and no room for more food. More plates are not possible because the tables are too small.

The location is so great at Biggesee, but unfortunately the service is becoming increasingly poor.

As with all Extrablatt restaurants, the food is great. Staff is a big problem here. You often wait ages until you are served.

I can definitely recommend this restaurant. It has many different places inside and outside for 3 to 4 people. You are usually served quickly and the food comes quite quickly. The waiters are actually always very friendly. The location by the lake is also very beautiful and special.

Much too loud, overcrowded, buffet was ok. But because it was so full, you had to wait in line for a long time. Service was slow, we waited over 30 minutes for a coffee.

Very nice location. Friendly service. Unfortunately the food is a bit too expensive but still delicious.

The best sweet potato fries, decent burgers, Far too loud indoors, poor sound insulation. Service was friendly, but unfortunately often overwhelmed.

Yes, but it is very loud and has poor acoustics!

The food was okay, but the service was a disaster. It's sad when you go home thirsty...

We stopped there this afternoon for a little snack. The ambience is familiar...good...on the water, of course great when the sun is shining. Staff are on their toes even when the store is full. We ordered two waffles with powdered sugar and a piece of carrot cake for €4.95 each !!!!!!!!!! The biggest insolence I have ever experienced!!!!!!!!!! The piece of cake, if you can speak of cake, is so small that in theory you can eat it in one bite. An incredibly small, cheeky mini piece. 2 wafers the size of a chocolate bar and as large as a dried plum. Expecting €4.95 for this is ridiculous. Greetings went out to the kitchen or whoever is responsible for this something. I'm sorry if I'm being honest, but that's not possible.

Super great location. It's like a vacation every time ☀️

Yes! However, it is very loud there. Many guests complain about this!

Great location Friendly staff Delicious food, something for everyone.

Citizens taste great, five stars. It's just very loud and therefore the comfort is very limited.

Sure, the food and drinks there are okay. But the ambience suffers greatly from the constant overcrowding. I will only stop by here at “off-peak” times.

We are here very often. Last for breakfast on Sunday, by advance reservation. You'll definitely have to wait in line here until you get to a very good breakfast buffet. But that speaks for the extra paper in Olpe. We'd love to come back😊

The location - right on the water - is very nice. The restaurant is very well maintained and the food is absolutely delicious. The staff is very friendly. The house's freshly prepared iced teas are also recommended.

The service is getting worse and worse. The service staff often seem as if they don't really want to do their job - it's a shame. Sometimes you don't get served, even when there isn't that much going on. If you have to wait 1 1/2 hours for service, it says everything about the quality of service.

Had dinner with my boyfriend and he bought me a fat one so everything was great

Very tasty burgers, fast and nice service, that's how it has to be!!

The Extrablatt is located on a small lake and is a great excursion destination when the weather is nice.

We and our 4 children really love the breakfast buffet there❤️everything deserves 5 stars

The Café Extrablatt is right on the bend. The breakfast buffet is lavish. The price-performance ratio is good. The service is also good. However, it can sometimes get very crowded on weekends.

Only been inside for to-go. There's a lot going on at the buffet. Comfortable is different. But, the food looked very good. The service was absolutely top!!

Very good service and very good food

Were there for breakfast, highly recommended

Simply perfect, again at any time!

Our first visit to Café Extrablatt was in October and now comes the review. We had breakfast there on a Sunday with four adults, of course we had reserved in advance, which turned out to be very useful. The breakfast buffet offers everything your heart desires, bread, freshly baked rolls, sweet and savory toppings, egg dishes, fruit, fish, cereal and much more. If something was empty, there were hardly any significant waiting times because it was filled up promptly - you're not on the run ;). All baked goods and toppings were fresh and beautifully presented. I can only say positive things about the service, our waitress Joy was very friendly, attentive and, despite the ongoing operations and many guests, had time for a chat (maybe you remember, we were supposed to say hello to your grandma:)). The reviews regarding lack of cleanliness, order or old sausage, etc. I can't understand! We were very satisfied and can only give one recommendation :).

It's certainly great in the summer because of the outside terrace, and in the winter it's also nice to have breakfast out, unfortunately the breakfast buffet is only available until 12 p.m

Long waiting times for someone to come...

I was visiting home again and this time we ended up in the extra paper. No, first visit here, had the classic bruschetta and the lime mint iced tea, both very tasty. The service was very friendly, but I found the location very loud and busy. We also sat right between the doors at the large tables, every time people came in (unfortunately very often) it was a Sauerland -3° whirling around our legs...

Food is good. The service was ok. Location and view are great.

Our server, Sara, was exceptional, friendly and helpful. She was in a good mood the whole time despite all the work. Keep it up.

Great location with a view of the water

The food was excellent. The service was very friendly and took care of us quickly. All in all, we were completely satisfied – we would happily do it again!

Great service. I'd love to come back.

The service staff was very friendly and accommodating this Saturday lunchtime!

We were there on Sunday afternoon. It was very busy, but the service staff tried hard and were friendly despite the stress. I ate a cheeseburger with fries. That was ok. The fries are very cross and tasty. The location right on the Bigge is great. In summer you can sit outside, directly at the dam.

Very nice chain restaurant, located directly at the reservoir. Here you can eat delicious food with a beautiful view of the water. The service is nice, fast and attentive. The food, in my case a schnitzel, was well made and the price/performance ratio was good. I'd love to stop by here in the summer when you can sit outside... 😊

Great restaurant. Very nice staff and a good selection. The breakfast was great. I would recommend it again and again.

It's always a pleasure to go for a walk there and then to Café Extrablatt.......

We were here for breakfast today, the buffet was very tasty and also rich and had a large selection

First the good: The service was completely fine and good. The food: was just disgusting! Greasy, dead-fried schnitzel and the salad was ancient and wilted. You don't really want to do that to a guest. Here they did it. Our daughter now has stomach cramps and diarrhea. Thank you very much.

Service wasn't that great. Ignores you and prefers to have private conversations with people you know at a table

We had made our reservation online and also stated that we would come with a dog for the Saturday breakfast. Unfortunately the place wasn't ideally located, including the dog. But in the end it was okay. The food was ok. What was special was the Shakshuka, which I didn't expect and tasted good. Unfortunately, it was difficult to get service staff to the table for additional drinks etc.

I invited my neighbors down the street, including the children, to brunch at the Extrablatt on Saturday. We had the entire upstairs area to ourselves. Many of my neighbors have never been in the extra paper. Everyone praised the really diverse buffet. Everyone will find some favorite foods there, from children to adults. And the food is not just there, but also very tasty. Egg with salmon in muffin form, a great selection of cheese, warm, delicious rolls (where can you find them), pancakes, donuts and more for the little ones, free sweets, etc. A dream. We also had a great waitress who had everything ready for us, from iced tea to champagne. It was a great experience in the extra paper and there are probably a few more visitors now (our neighbors) who hadn't been there before. Well done! Thank you very much!

Nice to eat and drink, nice location. Very good condition.

Great location, right on the banks of Lake Bigge, delicious food, fast and friendly service, always happy 🤓👍
