Central in Wuppertal

As the second location of the family-run restaurant, the Central is now a truly wonderful place to enjoy and linger! The food and service are fantastic!

Great evening ‼️ Feel-good package 🫶

I was there with my 94-year-old grandmother. Very unfriendly behavior, also heard from others in Ronsdorf. They served chanterelle mushrooms with pasta and bacon, but they just cheekily said they were out of chanterelles. The shops were still open at 12 noon. They slapped the menu back on me. Then it's not. There are other restaurants in Ronsdorf where you can eat well and enjoyably. Never again. We don't need that in Ronsdorf...

Hey, everything was perfect. I'd be happy to come again! Keep up the good work.

Sorry, but I have different expectations of an upscale restaurant. The waiter is very inexperienced and doesn't accommodate any requests. THE meal wasn't what I ordered...a steak with a small pot of mayonnaise instead of the dip, and the accompanying salad arrived after I'd already eaten the steak. The prices are way too high: €30 for a small steak with fries. Even the espresso costs €3.50. This restaurant and its service are simply terrible. I can't recommend this restaurant under any circumstances. I paid €40 for this terrible meal, including a bottle of water and an espresso.

I don't understand the negative reviews. We stopped here spontaneously after a hike. The ambiance is very appealing, and we received a friendly welcome even without a reservation. The service was impeccable—very fast, friendly, and attentive. My husband and I both had the oriental lentil soup as a starter, very tasty and, at €6.90, completely reasonable in price. We followed it with burgers with sweet potato fries (the latter a bit too dark) and a great corn-fed chicken bowl. Very nice mixed salad and vegetables, delicious dressing. Very good wine selection! The espresso was also excellent. We were completely satisfied.

Expensive... a 0.75-liter bottle of water for €8 is pretty steep... nothing special in terms of service, and the food is nothing special either. Overall, expensive, but okay for a drink.

Good food, attractively presented and served. There's something for every taste, from burgers to vegetarian bowls. Very friendly and attentive service. When the weather's nice, the cozy outdoor terrace is a great place to linger. We certainly won't be back there for the last time. Thanks for the pleasant evening!

Great food! There's far too few cocktails to choose from. Prices are too high in my opinion. Service needs to be more attentive, but it's very friendly. The ambiance is okay.

The service was excellent; I've rarely experienced such friendly service! They were always there when I needed something, but never intrusive. The food was also excellent value for money!

I've experienced a lot, but today things went a step further! I wanted to enter the restaurant and a 15-year-old woman stood in front of me and asked me what I wanted. I answered her question, I would like to go to the toilet. She then told me that I wasn't allowed to use the toilet! When I asked why, ... then anyone can come in here! Now comes the problem, three of my people had taken a table outside to have something to drink and eat, so I was refused access to the toilet before I ordered something! I certainly don't have the courage to explain my actions to a cheeky person like this young woman! That evening the owner lost €80! Because all four of us left the restaurant and went outside and will certainly never go back in!!! I've never come across such impudence!

I had all the starters and white wine. Price is fair, ambience was great, staff was friendly and the decor is beautiful.

Delicious food, great service, and a relaxed atmosphere. Something for everyone. Highly recommended.

The service was inattentive; we constantly had to call for drinks, and drinks were sometimes forgotten. The food was poorly seasoned. Requests for goat cheese instead of Serrano ham were ignored. There was no Serrano ham, but the full price, and only one goat cheese, as stated on the menu. It's a shame because the restaurant has a beautiful location and the ambiance is pleasant.

The service was really nice, the food was cooked fast. Also, the burgers tasted really good, the fries are okay, but the steak was pretty much tasteless, no spices, no salt, nothing, even though it cost over 20 euros. The drinks are expensive, as well as other food. I would only come here for a burger, to be completely honest. The portions weren't too big nor too small, just enough to make you feel full. Overall this place is nice, but the steak really impacted our impression about it.

We waited 25 minutes to place a drink order, and they only took our order because we asked. The service was rather grumpy and uninvolved. We also had to request another drink order. The food was good; we would order again. Overall: food and drinks were relatively expensive. But that's the case almost everywhere these days—but then the service is good, and you're happy to pay for it.

The service was also abysmal on the second visit. The ambiance and food are quite good, but there will definitely not be a third attempt.

The burgers are absolutely amazing! Crispy bun and delicious patty. The owner even ran after us to the car and brought me my sunglasses, which I'd forgotten. Great place.

Friendly service. We enjoyed the food. Unfortunately, only 3 stars because of the drink prices. A 0.2 liter Coke costs €3.80, which equates to €19 per liter. That even tops the Oktoberfest prices. It's a shame, really.

Our first visit to Central after the change of ownership. Drinks were delivered quickly, and service was friendly. My wife ordered a bowl with corn-fed chicken. The meat was okay, but the salad was anything but fresh and was already wilted, and the rice was mushy and flavorless. The presentation also could have been improved. My goat cheese burger: the patti was hard and dark all over, looking like it had just come out of a deep fryer. At least the fries were tasty. We answered the famous question about whether everything was okay honestly. Very fair: We didn't charge for the bowl. Everyone deserves a second chance. We'll definitely go back. By the way: The wines by the glass are overpriced, in my opinion.

The food was okay. Unfortunately, the value for money was not good at all. Aside from the poor service, we won't be coming back and can't recommend it.

Apparently, there's a new owner and a new menu. The staff was very friendly, and the ambiance is really great. Unfortunately, the menu is quite varied, with a bit of everything (oriental lentil soup, pasta, burgers, etc.), which I personally don't like. I prefer a focus on one particular area. A huge drawback: there's no dairy alternative and generally very few vegan food options! The number of vegan dishes is still up for debate, but NO dairy alternative? These days, that should be practically standard for a modern café/bistro. I would be happy to see that change.

The ambiance was nice, the waiters were attentive but seemed out of place, and the wait was very long. Unfortunately, the food was really not good. The pimientos for the appetizer were practically raw. We then had tarte flambée, some of which were burnt. One tarte flambée was made with salmon, and it was obvious that it was of poor quality. The prices are really excessive for the food offered. It's a shame, as the location is nicely decorated.

The seating is very pleasant, but that's about it. The prices for food and drinks are significantly inflated, and some of the food was also borderline good in terms of quality, especially considering the hefty prices. Added to that is the overwhelmed and inexperienced service. If you're from Bergisch, you'd probably call it "half a turd." We're definitely not going back here.

The food was very tasty and the service was very attentive. Thank you.

New owner. I had a latte. Very tasty. The service was very friendly. They regularly check in to see if everything is okay. The price is reasonable. The outdoor seating is very nice. I recommend it. Update: Free restroom use, as a non-guest. Thanks for that.

10 a.m. I sat down at a table with a view of the park. The guy with glasses was completely unfriendly when I ordered (I only had a coffee). He brought me the coffee and when he saw me sitting there, he asked if I hadn't found another seat. I just wanted him to remove the chain connecting the table and chairs. He simply said, "Well, no, either this way or somewhere else." I pointed out to him that he was being unfriendly, and then he just took the coffee back. 😂😂 Clown What a way to behave, probably reflects his upbringing. He could have just asked me nicely if I could move. I've probably been in the profession for years, but I'm still an amateur, honestly, and I've been a waitress for years. You don't do that.

The new Central is highly recommended. Always happy to come back

A really nice shop in itself. But the service is disastrous. Unfortunately, the prices are really high, which would be okay if everything else were right. We actually wanted to eat, but the kitchen doesn't open until 5:30 p.m. So we waited. The quality was really poor. The burger had a frozen patty, and it was burnt, too. Sorry, but we probably won't be back.

So far, so good. I think the gourmet breakfast for two people is a bit overpriced for what you get.

We only had a few drinks, so I can't comment on the quality of the food. But the prices for drinks are, in my opinion, very inflated. A non-alcoholic wheat beer costs €5.90 and a 0.2l Fanta costs €3.80. So, I'll be avoiding Central in the future. What a shame...

I was there both at the reopening and today, and I was completely satisfied. The food was delicious, the prices reasonable, and the service very attentive.

Had a great time with my girlfriend yesterday

Absolutely excellent value for money. It was very tasty and the atmosphere was great. We'll be back!

The food is just as delicious and beautifully presented as before. But unfortunately, the kitchen is also everything I can only praise. I come from the restaurant industry myself, and unfortunately, the waiters are often disorganized and seem overwhelmed. Please also advise the waiters on child/family friendliness. It's not children and families that bother them, but rather the guests and waiters who lack understanding. Children and families are the most normal thing in the world. Laughing and playing cards at a certain level shouldn't be criticized either. Nobody wants to go out to eat where they can't sit together with their family or even be a little "exuberant." Of course, everyone should maintain a certain noise level, but in general, I've also encountered a lot of hostile behavior towards families. Our children are your next customers. After the last few years and the negative and hostile decline in society's behavior, most people could slowly pull the stick out of their buttocks and start living instead of negating everything. And the drink prices are really a bit high. But the food is always delicious :D

Beautiful location, but the service is terrible. They give you a hard time because you just want to order a drink. After the first visit, I lost my appetite. A maximum of 2/10 because the frozen food and prices are comparatively high. They don't have an allergen menu either. I've been put off twice within two months. Overall, not great. I recommend the shop across the street, about 40 meters away on foot.

Unfortunately, I can no longer recommend it. This was my second visit to the Central since it reopened and I was disappointed again. The first time, I was sympathetic to the initial difficulties of a new team (e.g., there were long waits, or the food was served before the drinks...) – but this time I realized that the situation hadn't improved. The drink prices are above average, which in itself would be justifiable if everything else was up to scratch. However, there are major weaknesses in the service and, unfortunately, also in the hygiene standards: The bread basket was dirty and contained grain residue from previous guests. My polite complaint was not met with a proper apology or compensation. When paying, I was indirectly pressured to tip when the wait staff didn't simply give me the change, but instead asked, "That's right, isn't it?" It was particularly unpleasant to hear the staff subsequently complaining about my companion and me to their colleague – apparently because two of my three friends hadn't tipped due to the poor service. Despite the generally attractive interior and the obvious potential of the location, I will refrain from further visits in the future.

I used to love going there regularly, but since the change of ownership, I've unfortunately avoided it. The menu takes some getting used to, and the cocktail selection is almost nonexistent. It used to be that everyone could find something if there were several of us. The service was not particularly friendly on every visit. After ordering once, you wouldn't be served for ages, and you'd just sit around with empty glasses. It's a shame; it's probably better to drive to Elberfeld.

Unacceptable behavior: A waitress intentionally touches a female customer several times. It was probably meant to be teasing, but it's completely out of line.

Unfriendly service. No card payments without notice from the waiter. Food isn't served until the evening. No coffee or cake menu. This isn't going to work.

We were there on Tuesday, ordered drinks, and played a relaxed round of 6 nimmt. It wasn't loud, and no one was bothered by it. Then we were more or less politely informed that card games weren't allowed there... I've never heard such nonsense before. Making such a fuss in a café/lounge/bar, not an upscale restaurant, is truly ridiculous. The food looked pretty good, but the drink prices are really very expensive: €3.80 for a 0.2 Coke and €5.80 for a non-alcoholic wheat beer...

Unfortunately the price-performance ratio is not right, it is much too expensive.

A restaurant that was still missing in Ronsdorf. Not just a restaurant, also a chill lounge, a place to unwind, have breakfast and feel good. Very comfortably furnished, a menu that offers something for every taste and is very extensive for a new opening. Very nice terrace, great plants inside and out. 1a cuisine, very good service, attentive and friendly. We have been there several times and have not been disappointed so far. If something doesn't work straight away, you should be understanding; a new team just needs a bit of start-up time and coordination. Keep it up.

8.90€ a glass of wine seriously? Price-performance for the wine is unfortunately disappointing The two of us were there two weeks ago on a Sunday evening just to try out the restaurant. The burger was really tasty and the bowl – something a little different – ​​also tasted good. We would have liked to have had a glass of wine with our meal, but we found €8.90 to be much too much. Even in Cologne or Düsseldorf – with a view of the Rhine – you often pay less for it. And here we are, after all, “just” in Ronsdorf on the market square. Last week we were in the Luisenviertel – the wine prices there were significantly lower. It would be nice if there was also a simple house wine in the range of around €6. So you're more likely to grab a cocktail, even though you'd actually prefer wine with your meal - simply because the price is the same.

Nice shop in itself. But service underground. Prices above average, which would be okay if everything else were right. We were initially there with five adults and one child. We actually wanted to eat, but the kitchen doesn't open until 5:30 p.m. Then a married couple with a child and a baby came along. We put a small table next to our big one. Yes, it was close to the next table. Then someone from the staff came and said, "It's nice that you feel at home, but..." No question, we of course moved the tables apart again, but that could have been said differently. Maybe it was the children who weren't welcome. After that statement, it was clear that we weren't waiting for the kitchen to open. We've already eaten somewhere else where we were treated in a friendly and courteous manner. Then we heard the waitress say to an older couple “You don’t have to come back”. I have NEVER experienced such rude staff! I'm curious to see how long the store lasts this time. They have lost me as a potential regular customer!

As an individual you are not served - that's quite arrogant! I would have really liked to eat asparagus, I really hope it gets back to you!!

New operator, new concept: Everything is now nicer, more stylish, more comfortable! Attentive and very friendly service. Ordered burgers and pasta - everything was very tasty, beautifully prepared and served quickly. A new star in the Ronsdorf gastronomic sky!

Nice bistro with a good and extensive range of dishes, where everyone will find something. Seating was easy to choose and the service was nice, the food was tasty and plentiful. I'd love to come back again!

We think it's a shame that the lights are going out here at the end of the year. We really enjoyed being there, whether alone, as a couple or with friends

The most beautiful café in Ronsdorf. Well located, well maintained and with great service. Thanks for the good time 😊

The taste of the food leaves a lot to be desired and I don't even have high standards. Especially since the prices are very high. Especially for the drinks.

It's a great thing and great logic 👌

Today we ate a pumpkin bolognese with tagliatelle and were extremely impressed!!! Absolutely recommended. Thank you for this great dish. We'd love to come back.

We go to Central a lot. You can sit very well outside and inside and the food is really delicious. The coffee/cake selection (homemade) is also very good. The team does a good job (especially because they are sometimes thinly staffed) :-)

Delicious, nice atmosphere, service OK ☺️

Very tasty food at moderate prices.

Beautiful all around. Simply spontaneously, comfortably and casually eat well or just sip a few cocktails, sit outside or inside. Great.

Nice restaurant, in the middle of Wuppertal Ronsdorf. Nice service, food good. We used the outside restaurant, there is more life there

Mega delicious food, very friendly service, great ambience. Was there with my wife, we had burgers and a large portion of sweet potato fries with truffle dip. The dip is our absolute recommendation! We particularly noticed the friendly service, much more than the minimum level of attention and friendliness that is sometimes usual in Germany. Any time!

This time I spent the evening with a friend. We sat outside. It was very nice.

Price-performance doesn't work at all. We're never going back here.

Man/woman sits very comfortably in the green in the small park in the middle of Ronsdorf, very nice. I met someone I knew here. We were recommended the Méditerranée cheese vegetable plate. It was very delicious. It was very easy. It is absolutely recommended. Very nice, polite young man who serves. We sat here very well,

Great cozy restaurant. Really great, interesting food and we would like to highlight the great staff who were there on May 28th, 24 at 6 to 7 p.m. Super friendly, hardworking girls

We celebrated our wedding there and found it really incredibly beautiful, it was a closed party, everything was set and decorated for us and our wishes were taken into account. The food was really very tasty. We had various starters, a grill buffet and everything was freshly prepared and grilled on site and each of our guests praised the food very much. The service was really great, very nice and polite. Drinks were also really great and above all we had a large selection for a great price-performance ratio. All in all, it was a great wedding for us there.

Slow service, drinks prices were sometimes way too high (7.50 euros for 200 ml Aperol Spritz), food was okay (burger patty has a lot of room for improvement). Customer criticism was not responded to professionally.

Super friendly staff and the food was really good, this place is well worth a visit just for a drink or to eat.

Very nice location in the heart of Ronsdorf with a harmonious ambience, really tasty food and nice, attentive service. There is a paid underground car park in the house itself, but there are enough free parking spaces in the surrounding area.

Nice location in Ronsdorf. In summer you can sit outside nicely. Tarte flambée goat cheese was very tasty.

We were there for breakfast and the service and also the small. Breakfast was very good... You can do it again and recommend it 👌🏼.

Very tasty food, super friendly staff. gladly again and again!

Service slow and drink prices far too expensive for the size of the glasses and contents. It's a shame because the atmosphere is quite nice

Very poorly organized staff, pat answers to questions, prices weren't right, Despite ordering, a few things were missing; coffee for breakfast was not included in the price. Conclusion: you paid a lot of money for a simple breakfast, there is another way. We won't go here again and don't recommend it at all.

Very cozy and very tasty fresh breakfast

We were there on December 25th. for Christmas brunch at Central. It was super tasty, the two ladies serving us were extremely nice and friendly - just a really nice meal on a holiday.

It was our first time at Café Central and it was for Christmas brunch. We were very satisfied. Good value for money, friendly staff, good buffet. Highly recommended.

Visited for breakfast by appointment at the citizens' office. Absolutely delicious breakfast, great cappuccino, very nice and polite service. Price/performance ratio is right. Nice atmosphere. Highly Recommended.

Service and ambience were very nice! The burgers we ordered were not convincing. The drinks were good though.

Immer wieder gerne wenn ich in Wuppertal bin. 😁

Wunderbare Speisekarte, super Preis-Leistungsverhältnis, genialer Koch sowie freundliche Bedienung. Es war ein schöner Abend!

Sehr schönes Café, mit gutem Essen und angenehmer Atmosphäre. Sehr freundliches Personal, immer wieder gerne

Sehr freundliche, humorvolle, aufmerksame, auf den Gast eingehende Mitarbeiter. Der Straßenverkehr wurde nicht wahrgenommen, da eine Trennwand das Lokal abschirmt. Sehr grosse Markisse wird auch vor Regen schützen.

Mit einigen Geschäftsfreunden war ich am letzten Dienstag hier zum Abendessen verabredet. Obwohl ich hier schon oft vorbeigefahren bin, war ich doch noch nie hier zu Besuch. Um 19.00 Uhr waren genügend Parkplätze in unmittelbarer Nähe zu finden… das Ambiente des Central ist ansprechend und großzügig ausgelegt. Wir hatten alle Vorspeisen bestellt, die allesamt schön angerichtet waren und zudem auch sehr lecker. Gleiches gilt für die Hauptspeisen. Die Portionen waren üppig und sorgfältig auf den Tellern platziert… alles in allem sehr angenehm. Besonders möchte ich die aufmerksamen und freundlichen Servicemitarbeiter erwähnen- diese haben das Gesamterlebnis vollends abgerundet…

Wir waren zum Abendessen hier. Die Bedienung war freundlich. Wir haben im Aussenbereich gesessen. In der Umgebung gibt es genügend Parkplätze. Sehr gut mit ÖPNV zu erreichen! Kreditkarten werden auch genommen!

Tolles Bistro in Ronsdorf mit vielen Sitzgelegenheiten draußen auf der Terrasse. Die Auswahl auf der Speisekarte finde ich großartig - für jeden was dabei, auch für Vegetarier und Veganer. :) Absolute Empfehlung... auch nur zum Kaffee oder Cocktails trinken.

Хорошее обслуживание. Ждали заказ не долго. Персонал приветливый.

Wir sind durch Zufall ins Central gekommen und hatten keine Vorstellung, was uns erwartet. Wir sind sehr positiv überrascht worden. Super nette Bedienung, fantastische Suppen, tolle Bowls und klasse Hamburger. Da passt alles! Gerne wieder 😀

als Gast der VAMED Klinik Bergisch Land gehört ein Besuch des Central durch die Mundpropaganda der anderen Klinikgäste einfach zum "Programm". Eine super freundliche Bedienung,guter Service, eine schöne Terrasse und die legendäre Currywurst mit Pommes sucht auch bei mir in Dortmund ihresgleichen. Ganz toll alles rundum Klasse und einen Wiederholungsbesuch Wert...Danke an das Team

Sehr freundliche Bedienung und gutes Preis Leistungsverhältnis .Die Currywurst ist vom Metzger, die Sauce dazu ist scharf und die Pommes sehen wie selbst hergestellt aus und es hat alles zusammen super geschmeckt . Es lohnt sich das Gericht dort einmal zu probieren.

In Ronsdorf, im Bergischen Land, konnte man schon immer sehr gut essen. Ich war jetzt schon 2 × in diesem Ronsdorfer Lokal und das hat sich wieder bestätigt. Erstklassiges Essen und Top-Bedienung.

Das Frühstück war hervorragend und günstig, die Getränkepreise leider zu hoch, Pott Kaffee 4,40€, O-Saft 2.90€. Kostenloses Gäste W-Lan 👍

Wir waren nun das zweite mal zum Ladies Abend dort und sind komplett zufrieden 😉 mega sympathische und freundliche Mitarbeiter, Getränke sowie essen top 👍🏽 werden aufjedenfall öfter zu euch kommen 😊

Nettes Cafe mit Biergarten. Wir waren zum Frühstück hier und das Essen hat unsere Erwartungen übertroffen. Es könnte nur noch besser sein, wenn das Brot etwas mehr getoastet worden wäre. Das Personal war super freundlich. Die Getränke sind etwas teuer, aber das Essen ist für die gebotene Qualität sehr günstig. Wie ich bewerte *****Wow **** Wirklich gut *** Gut ** Hat die Erwartungen nicht erfüllt * schlecht

Schnelle Bedienung, zuvorkommend und super Konversation, habe nach Namen gefragt, sie heißt Kim. DANKE so muss es sein,komme gerne wieder. Grüße Georg

Toller Service, leckeres Frühstück und gemütliche Atmosphäre.

Offene Küche, kleine, feine Karte, im Herzen von Ronsdorf am Bandwirkerplatz

Wir waren letzte Woche mit Freunden zum Frühstück im Central verabredet. Die Location ist wirklich schön. Auch die Bedienungen sind sehr nett. Das Frühstück für 7,90 € war okay, wenn auch nicht wirklich besonders. Aber was für mich überhaupt nicht ging, war für einen großen Cappuccino mit Sojamilch 5,70 € zu nehmen. Dieser Preis ist nicht sportlich dieser Preis ist unverschämt.

Nach einer Beerdigung sind alle ins Central eingeladen worden. Es ist ein nettes Restaurant, dass auch sehr sauber war. Die Bedienung war zuvorkommend und hat sich auch für Personen sehr bemüht, die durch körperliche Einschränkungen Hilfe benötigten. Das Essen war super und reichhaltig belegt. Immer, wenn Getränke oder Essen gebraucht wurden, war der Service sofort zur Stelle. Wir alle fühlten uns gut aufgehoben und können das Lokal mit gutem Gewissen weiter empfehlen. Schaut euch das Restaurant selber an und bildet euch eure eigene Meinung! Wir kommen jedenfalls gerne wieder....

Da das Central am Ronsdorfer Weihnachtsmarkt-Wochenende geschlossen war 🤷🏼‍♀️ kann ich gar nichts Aktuelles davon erzählen … doch der Weihnachtsmarkt war sehr charmant, der Baum in der Mitte wunderschön geschmückt und die Menschen unterwegs richtig sympathisch. 😀

Wir waren zum Kaffeetrinken hier. Die Bedienung war freundlich und. Schöne große Fenster mit Blick auf den kleinen Park vor dem Bistro. Schöne, moderne Einrichtung. Terrasse vorhanden. Parkplätze in der Umgebung.

Nach längerer Zeit waren wir mal wieder im Ronsdorfer "Central". Hier gibt es immer noch solide Bistroküche mit einem in unserem Fall sehr freundlichen und auch aufmerksamen Service. Der von mir verzehrte Beef Teriyaki Burger war jedenfalls sehr schmackhaft, besonders die Idee mit den Wasabi-Erdnüssen fand ich gut. Von der Portionsgröße war der Burger mit den dazu gereichten Steakhousefrites auch ausreichend, um satt zu werden. Einzig das Warsteiner vom Fass hätte etwas kälter sein dürfen, sonst war es sehr gut.
