Café Ferdinands in Bad Bentheim

Beautiful location, super friendly staff, very tasty. I'm already looking forward to the Advent buffet

Delicious food! Extremely friendly staff, there was a reservation error on our side but we were still allowed to come and eat, very nice!

Great atmosphere, friendly waitress, good food. But actually a bit overpriced for my taste. I had the Asian-inspired salmon on potatoes, zucchini and mushrooms (see picture) for almost €27. After ordering our food, our table was somehow forgotten and not really served, so we left instead of ordering another drink.

Today we enjoyed our wedding anniversary here with good food and good wine. Everything was wonderful and so kudos to the kitchen team. We'll be back l.

Very nice terrace with a great view

Great food here and nice staff! Currywurst is on the pricey side.

Super tasty and fun to relax on the wall of the fortress. Nice meal. Wine and sun. Nice restaurant.

Wir hatten uns mit 10 Personen kurzfristig entschlossen, vor unserer Heimreise dort Mittag zu essen. 1 Anruf, ganz unkompliziert wurden uns 10 Plätze reserviert. Das Essen war super lecker und die Bedienung super freundlich und aufmerksam. Vielen Dank. Bestens zu empfehlen!!!!!

Heerlijk gegeten, prachtige ambiance, bediening door professionals, ongedwongen sfeer, mooie speisekarte met verschillende €. Even geen griek, mexicaan, italiaan, steakhouse ed. Blij dat we hier trechtkwamen. (Reserveren en contant betalen)

Beautiful location, you can sit both inside and outside. The service was fine. I had delicious Asian marinated salmon myself. It tasted great, but for me too much salt was used. The same goes for the fries, which were also sprinkled with a lot of salt. Kids had chicken nuggets and flammkuchen which were also delicious and beef too

Completely satisfied. Great dishes, nice atmosphere, good price-performance ratio and courteous service, what more could you want.

Best currywurst in a long time with great fruity sauce and super tasty fries. Kitchen is flexible regarding my daughter's special requests. Very nice service and attractive atmosphere. Eating out is fun.

Powerful restaurant, a bit of a climb, but excellent views and food for a good price. It was quiet, the atmosphere is not that great, the location is great!

Excellent food (tomahawk steak from Bentheimer pork), great ambience and very attentive service staff. We'll definitely be back. It was great!!!

After a tour of the castle, we had a delicious lunch at Café Ferdinands. We sat on the terrace with a fantastic view and both had a delicious 'flammkuchen' (1 of which was vegetarian). The service was also top notch, friendly and very hospitable. We come more often!

The bistro/café “Ferdinands” is located directly at Bentheim Castle. From the higher outdoor terrace you have a beautiful view into the distance. The service was very attentive and friendly. The food came quickly and we enjoyed it very much. Bentheimer Kellerbier is recommended as a drink.

Very nice cafe with delicious cakes and food.

Located directly at Bentheim Castle, a really great atmosphere with super attentive service. Unfortunately, this time I was only able to test the cake, which was really delicious. I would love to come back and try the attractively designed and unusual menu.

What an incredibly good place. Nice view. Attractive inside and out. Good food and friendly service.

We went on Sept 1st on my mother's birthday. The staff was very unprofessional, rude even. "Zum trinken!!!" was the first thing she said. And not friendly at all during the process of ordering. "Zum essen!!!" Clearly does not have a clue what hospitality is about. The food was okay, but not great. We also went the next day for a drink and the waitress was a lot nicer. Maybe she could teach her a thing or two.

Nice terrace in front of the entrance to the castle. Menu is very diverse and freshly served. Pleasant service

Café Ferdinands is a very nice and superbly located restaurant in Bad Bentheim, with an absolutely great view. After our civil wedding in Bentheim Castle, Café Ferdinands took over the champagne reception for our guests in the castle courtyard, which was extremely well implemented and organized. We then celebrated our wedding in Café Ferdinands with our guests. We are absolutely thrilled with the very good 3-course menu tailored to our individual wishes, the wonderful atmosphere we found there and the great service from the Ferdinands team. Thank you so much for rounding off our special day so wonderfully with your service. We'll definitely be back!

Super nice restaurant, nice, fast, careful service. We ordered two Aperols, but it was a shame that they had 8 ice cubes per glass, so they melted and the wonderfully prepared drink unfortunately tasted like water. When we complained to the service about the amount of ice cubes, we were told that "that would be the case so that the glass would be full." I'd rather have a half-full glass that tastes like what I ordered until the end :-)))

Always delicious food here! The service is friendly and some of them even speak Dutch. The view of the castle is also beautiful.

After a long drive to Bad Bentheim Castle, we had something to eat and drink at this beautiful restaurant. Even though we had ordered some pizza snacks and some fries, we were pleasantly surprised. The pizza snacks were freshly made and delicious, the fries were also wonderfully crispy. The service was very friendly and even though it was quite busy, the service was good and fast. The view from the terrace was also beautiful, unfortunately the weather was not good so we sat inside. A good start to then do the castle tour. :)

Great view in beautiful surroundings!

We went to the castle, but after the 2.5 hour drive we were ready for something to eat and drink. Fast service and really delicious food!!

Very nice atmosphere and friendly service and a very tasty lemonade 😎

Well served by both German and Dutch speaking staff. Excellent prices

Great food, fast service and beautiful ambiance 💖 the flamkuche was very delicious

Very nice spot with a beautiful view. Limited drinks menu and unfortunately, like all of Bad Bentheim, closed at 10 p.m....

We sat down at Ferdinando's at 7:30 p.m. and were warmly greeted and served. Everything was great here, previously we were turned away at the "Alt Bentheim" and 15 other customers, as we could observe. Everything was great at Ferdinando's, nothing worth recommending at "Alt Bentheim".

We were a little late to tour the castle and so we had a good time at Ferdinand's...the menu is extensive, but for our taste there were no so-called dishes for small appetites. We wanted to eat something savory before eating the cake, but apart from a really large portion of French fries, there was unfortunately nothing for adults. Only larger meals such as salad plates, currywurst with fries, tarte flambée, etc. The very friendly service couldn't help us either and pointed to the boss, who wouldn't allow adults to order from the children's menu... What a shame! The cake and the coffee were delicious, and of course the ambience right next to the castle was perfect too! Ferdinand's is also impressive from the inside... Conclusion from us: first eat a little something at the local bakery and then go to the castle and then to Ferdinand's... ;)

Very nice. Terrace with lovely view of the region

A wonderful summer evening spent.. In a beautiful location above the roofs of Bad Bentheim, right next to the castle, with excellent food.. Complimented by courteous staff. Everything was perfect here. This is how eating out works. Thank you very much.

The view, the furnishings, the whole ambience is great. Very nice staff and food was great too. The only negative point is all the water stains on the upholstery. That doesn't fit with the overall atmosphere. Otherwise really great there

Very nice café/restaurant in Bad Bentheim Castle. Delicious, homemade lemonades. Great view over the city of Bad Bentheim to Holland. Service competent, quick and friendly. Beautiful outside terrace and great atmosphere inside. Toilets pic o bello👍🤗

very tasty currywurst, the curry sauce had a very good taste also friendly staff beautiful surroundings and very cozy top

After visiting the castle, we had drinks and something delicious to eat here.

Great bistro at the foot of the castle. We just had a drink and were served very nicely and quickly. Always my pleasure. We will be back

Cute coffee on the edge of the castle. We were treated very nicely and quickly with good service. The coffee and cake were great, freshly baked and with a large selection! The interior is very tasteful and subtle. We felt very comfortable. Absolute recommendation!!

Chic restaurant located directly at the castle. From the terrace you have a wonderful view over Bad Bentheim, from the interior to the princess garden of the castle. The menu offers a wide range of international dishes. The food was very tasty.

Simply 5 stars. A really great cafe!

Very nice view of the surrounding area. The food is delicious and affordable. The staff is quick and friendly.

Very nice restaurant. Nice service. Everything was very tasty and we will definitely be back.

We were very surprised about this great bistro, which is more of a “restaurant”. A restaurant you should definitely visit if you are nearby. The staff is very accommodating and you immediately feel welcome in the rooms... The kitchen spoiled us with "Ferdi's Bruschetta" as a starter... a great variation... highly recommended. For the main course we had the flank steak and asparagus ... big compliments to the kitchen here too... To top it all off, there was a great version of the men's cream.... From today on we are fans of Ferdinand's and can only recommend this "bistro" to everyone...

So we had discovered one thing: in Emsland you can eat good cakes and pies. And here especially... And then there's the beautiful view... We'd love to come back, but this time for lunch...

Alles frisch zubereitet und sehr lecker. Ich war 4 Tage on bad Berleburg und jeden Abend hier im Lokal. Keine Massenabfertigung sehr freundliches und aufmerksames Personal.

Enjoyed lunch with a group of 40 people. That was excellently taken care of.

Great quality, perfect service, reasonable prices. We recommend.

Restaurant or bistro directly above the outer gatehouse of Bentheim Castle. In addition to coffee and cake, there is a range of delicious dishes, ranging from a simple portion of fries and pizza rolls to unusual burgers and tarte flambée. Everything was freshly prepared and tasted extremely good, the atmosphere is also very inviting and a few smaller tables were quickly pushed together for our group (eight people). We really enjoyed it and actually we just wanted to have a coffee, but the dishes looked so delicious...😋

Very good view, doesn’t have apffeldtudel sadly enough

Delicious cake and good coffee. What more do you need?

Food was good and very comfortable. Service was very friendly.

Beautiful view, delicious food and hardly any waiting time.

Very nice atmosphere, friendly service, everything was well maintained and clean. Enjoy your meal.

We were here with a group of 10 people for a birthday dinner. I have absolutely nothing to complain about. We all got our food at the same time, everyone was amazed at how delicious it was. We were even allowed to use the staff corridor as an exit because our grandmother has very limited walking abilities. The gate was even held up for us. Something like this cannot be taken for granted and deserves great recognition! Incredibly nice people work here. 🙏🏻 My brother, who struggles with severe lactose intolerances, had a bacon jam burger without cream cheese and was absolutely thrilled. He had no problems afterwards and wanted to eat there again the next day. 😊 I made the reservation a few weeks in advance by email, I received a response quickly and even a last-minute change was responded to quickly and very nicely. Thank you for an unforgettable evening. We would like to come again!

I loved the food. Rarely eaten so well. Highly recommended, always happy.

Exceptionally good food, great drinks, good service and a great view.

Very pleasant, modern atmosphere, unobtrusive background music, delicious and inexpensive food and nice service. More is not possible. We felt very comfortable.

Modern, cozy bistro with a large beer garden, right at the entrance to Bad Bentheim Castle. Outside there is a wonderful view of the city. Very accommodating, friendly staff. The menu is clear, from burgers to steak, tarte flambée and salad, to currywurst and a children's menu. A small recommendation: the homemade lemonade and the prosecco drink “Himmelssächter”. The food didn't meet my taste 100%. The pulled pork burger was a bit dry, both the meat and - for my taste - little sauce. The burger bun was not on the grill and therefore cold. The fries seemed heavy and older. With the Bacon Jam Burger, however, the meat was as it should be, juicy. Sufficient sauce too. Here too, the burger bun was cold. Conclusion: torn. I would still try it again with a different dish.

Amazing view, amazing food, good service. Reasonable prices.

Please offer some vegan milks :)

The Advent menu was a huge disappointment!!! The starter and dessert were ok, but the homemade roulades were a huge disappointment! There was a single small roulade, which unfortunately had no filling and was therefore very dry. I know roulades differently, they include cucumber, mustard, onion and bacon. The red cabbage was 100% a finished product. It just tasted super sweet, without the typical spices and was very mushy/slippery. Homemade looks different and definitely doesn't taste the same as what was served to me! The dumplings were also a ready-made product, they all looked identical and were completely tasteless and had a sticky consistency. For the price of EUR 36.90, it's a disgrace!!! It wasn't even nice when it was prepared. The plate looked very bland, the red cabbage and sauce melted into each other. We drove here from Lingen especially for the Advent menu and were full of anticipation. We didn't expect that we would be served convenience products! Ferdinand's was a huge disappointment, we cannot recommend it.

Nicely integrated into the castle.

Super nice staff and just good 😃🥰 Instagram _Grey_mustang_3.7_

We drank coffee there and ate delicious waffles. The service was attentive, friendly and quick. We will definitely come here again for dinner.

Fijne en rustige ambiance bij de ingang van burcht bad bentheim. Heerlijk gegeten met 12 personen. Met vriendelijke bediening en een menukaart met voor elk wat wils. We komen zeker terug

Lecker Essen in freundlicher Atmosphäre. Kinder und Hunde Freundlich. Essen war lecker und der Service Freundlich.

Heerlijk gegeten , alle gerechten erg lekker en goed op smaak en prettig bediend ! Beetje sfeerlicht buiten zou de boel wel gezelliger maken !

Das Restaurant in unmittelbarer Nähe zur Burg überzeugte mit seiner angenehmen Atmosphäre und einem beeindruckenden Ausblick auf die Burganlage. Das Essen war schmackhaft, und das freundliche Personal trug dazu bei, dass man sich rundum wohl fühlte.

Schönes Ambiente, nettes und professionelles Personal. Das Essen war sehr gut.

Sehr schön eingerichtetes Restaurant. Schnelle und fröhliche Bedienung, sehr Kinderfreundlich. Essen war von ausgezeichneter Qualität und wirkte frisch zubereitet. Gute Portionsgröße und angemessener Preis. Saubere Toiletten.

Fantastisch gelegen naast de burcht. Heel vriendelijk en professioneel personeel, uitgebreide kaart. Het eten is van heel hoge kwaliteit. Een absolute geheimtip voor wie iets wil eten of drinken in een schitterend kader . Wij komen zeker terug

Sehr freundliches Personal,Essen war gut,tolle Location,auf Terasse guten Ausblick,Burg im Hintergrund.

We hebben hier erg lekker gegeten. De sfeer is goed, personeel vriendelijk en mooie locatie. We hadden hier al eerder koffie gedronken met een stukje gebak (gewittertorte, heeerlijk !) Alles was goed verzorgd en alles net iets luxer dan gewoonlijk. Wat verder erg leuk is, is dat de menukaart niet super uitgebreid is maar wek heel divers. Je kunt er een erg goede biefstuk eten maar ook een curryworst of burger. Dus ook echt verschillende prijsklassen

Ein Ort zu verweilen, sehr schön gelegen, schöne Atmosphäre, nettes Team, sehr gute Küche... komme gerne wieder

Leckeres Essen und freundliche Bedienung

Op de muren van kasteel Bad Bentheim heeft dit restaurant haar terras. Daar hebben we heerlijk gegeten en genoten van het mooie uitzicht. Bij helder weer kun je oneindig kijken… De bediening is vriendelijke en het eten heerlijk.

Schönes Ambiente, Esser leider etwas überteuert.

I couldn't fault any part of the visit. My partner has Coeliac Disease and they didn't bat an eyelid. Far better value than most places in the UK.

Super nettes Personal. Aufmerksam und man fühlt sich dort sehr wohl. Das Essen war mal wieder sehr lecker. Immer wieder gerne.

Heel lekker eten aan de voet van de Burg. Creatieve hamburgers ook 👌🏻

Tolle Location an der Burg Bentheim.. Burger und Flammkuchen waren lecker

Prachtige lokatie met vriendelijke bediening. Heerlijk eten, met een goed vegetarisch aanbod.

Wat een geweldige locatie om zomaar koffie te drinken of een uitgebreide maaltijd. Zeer prachtig uitzicht. Wat wil je nog meer....

Sehr schöne Location auf den Mauern der Burg gelegen mit großem Außenbereich, von dem man auf die Burg und/oder in die Weiten der Landschaft blicken kann. Das Essen ist gut und der Service freundlich. Aufgrund der starken Frequentierung mussten wir etwas länger auf unser Essen warten, das dafür aber lecker war. Nach Einbruch der Dunkelheit wird die Burg angestrahlt, was dem Ort eine sehr schöne Ambiente verleiht. Insgesamt also eine Empfehlung, insbesondere wenn man in den Abendstunden dort hin geht.

Wir waren kurz nach Öffnung da und wollten eine Kleinigkeit essen. Nuggets, sahen selbstgemacht aus mit Pommes, auch die Pizzaschnecken (3 Stück) sahen selbstgemacht aus. Beides sehr lecker! Portionsgröße war für uns vollkommen in Ordnung, wir sind satt geworden (hatten mit kleineren Portionen gerechnet) Bedienung höflich, freundlich und schnell. Würden wieder kommen, wenn wir nochmal in der Nähe sind.

Leckeren Flammkuchen dort gegessen, Preise sind ok! Es war ziemlich voll, als wir bestellten, weshalb es leider etwas länger dauerte. Das Personal war immer freundlich.

Erg onvriendelijk te woord gestaan (lees redelijk aggressief en geïrriteerd) door een blonde dame achter de bar dat we niks mochten bestellen op het terras omdat het telkens ging regenen. Ok prima, maar dat mag ook gewoon vriendelijk medegedeeld worden. Restaurant zal prima zijn, maar dit verpest wel de sfeer.

Sehr gut gegessen. Super freundliche Bedienung! Wir hatten einen tollen Abend!

Sehr gutes Restaurant mit aufmerksamen Service. Preisleistung Top!

Tolles Ambiente mit leckerem Essen!

Leckeres und hochwertiges Essen, aber kleine Portionen, hohe Preise und enttäuschende Auswahl an veganen Gerichten... Die Lage ist gut. Service war, wohlgemerkt gemessen an der Preisklasse, ein bisschen zu wenig zuvorkommend bzw. unaufmerksam: hat bspw die Gäste auf dem Trockenen sitzen lassen und hatte trotz niedriger bis mittlerer Auslastung kaum Zeit.

Freundlich, sympathisch - und professionell. Seit gut zwei Jahren gibt es die Terrasse des Ferdinands (aus 2023 betrachtet). Damit ist eine Lücke in Bad Bentheim geschlossen: Wer damals die Burg besichtigt hatte, hätte sich sicher eine Tasse Kaffee und ein Stück Torte im wundervollen Ambiente des Vorhofs gewünscht. Und wer die letzten Meter des Anstiegs bewältigt hatte - auf der Bike-Tour oder der Stadterkundung - der hätte sich über ein Glas Wein und einen kleinen Snack gefreut. Das klappt jetzt - auf der Terrasse des Ferdinands. Über das tolle Essen haben schon viele geschrieben, das lasse ich - das kann ich, das können wir und unsere Gäste nur bestätigen. Mich fasziniert etwas anderes. Die Terrasse ist riesig. Ich schätze mal: 120-150 Personen haben dort locker Platz. Und oft sind auch 80-120 an den Tischen versammelt. Manche bleiben eine Stunde, zwei oder mehr, andere sind nach dem Mineralwasser weg. Wie bekommt man diese Menschen mit dem, was Durst löscht und dem, was den Hunger vertreibt, versorgt? Das gelingt dem Ferdinands! Es gibt viele nette Menschen im Service, die das alles unaufdringlich stemmen - und das über wirklich lange Laufstrecken. Die einen nehmen Bestellungen an, die anderen bringen die Getränke und räumen danach die Teller ab und wieder andere kümmern sich um das Bezahlen. Okay - je nach Andrang der Gäste hofft man, der Nebentisch würde mit seiner Bestellung etwas schneller sein. Aber die Gewissheit, dass der Service die Gäste, die neu Angekommenen, die Nachbestellenden im Blick hat, macht es für mich dort entspannend. Ein Lob für die durchdachte Organisation - und für den freundlichen und aufmerksamen Service!

Sehr leckere Flammkuchen! Sehr freundliche Bedienung - top!

Gutes Essen freundliche Bedienung

Ze waren die avond niet goed ingesteld op een groep van 13 personen. We moesten ruim een uur en een kwartier op ons hoofdgerecht wachten. We kregen een gratis drankje voor het lange wachten. Het eten zelf smaakt prima.
