Droste-Café Restaurant Bar PIZZERIA

1st floor is a wonderful room. The view of the lake is wonderful. The food is very good. The food selection is wide-ranging. Like everywhere else, there is a shortage of staff here...but the young lady mastered this really well with her charm and friendliness. 😊

Relaxed atmosphere very tasty food.

Pleasant place to have a lunch. A sight on the lake, tasty desserts on our plates. Grazie schön!

Good coffee and delicious cakes, you can also get lunch and dinner, highly recommended

Delicious food and very friendly service and great ambience...we'll be happy to come back.

The staff was very friendly, everything went very quickly even though the shop was full. The food was delicious, I can recommend it

Sat on the 1st floor right by the window; great space, great view, great ambience. The food was very tasty, although the portions (pasta) could have been a few grams larger. Regardless, we can highly recommend the restaurant!

I recommend!!! The service was very nice, as was the owner who constantly looked after us. The food was very tasty, the taste was constantly monitored and the arrangement of the plate was 100% perfect, we ate a lot from the menu, something different all the time, and every time we were 100% satisfied, very good Primitivo red wine , great drinks, great selection. The interior is beautiful, well maintained, I like the atmosphere, but on warm days I recommend the sunny garden next to it. I personally prefer a table in the shade and I definitely found that. Kind regards and thank you again for the delicious food and the wonderful atmosphere.🥰🥰🥰Chef Diavolo Sebastian

Went there a few years ago without children and it was great. Were there in the summer of 2024. Food was great. Delicious. But it wasn't child friendly with children. We always had the feeling of being unwanted with our two under 6 year olds. There are also no children's meals on the menu. We had to ask three times whether we could get small cutlery for the children and finally got it ourselves at the counter. Also: When ordering a pizza, the waiter said that the price on the menu was wrong and that it would cost 2 euros more. And when we wanted to pay he presented us with a fait accompli that today only cash payment is possible. That's not possible. The card can be corrected and the payment method should be stated in advance. Luckily we had enough cash with us.

We ordered three pizzas to take away: a salami, a Diavoli and a Siciliano. The waiting time was pleasantly short and the pizzas were good, but nothing special. I found the price of €40 to be too high for that.

Super great restaurant. The pizza was super delicious. The service was very attentive and really, really friendly. It was a real joy and a real pleasure in this restaurant. The ambience is beautiful. I will eat there again.

Very friendly staff, ice cream very tasty and dessert, panacotta also super tasty.

Delicious fish, portion size just right, great ambience, we'll be happy to come back... on our next vacation :)

The best thing about this place is the location. Even on Lake Constance, you rarely receive such unfriendly and disinterested service. I have never experienced a waiter who didn't say anything to us other than: "Do you have anything now?". The plate with the starter was smeared with balsamic vinegar and cheese on the bottom, and the tablecloth was unfortunately stained until dessert on the table. Luckily the portion wasn't large; I couldn't have tolerated more of the fatty saffron risotto. We were invited by friends so we didn't comment on the lukewarm white wine etc. We never voluntarily go into the restaurant again, even though we don't live far away.

Two things first: 1. 5 stars are above average for me, 2. Don't go if you're really hungry!! Now a little more detail. The service was very attentive and fulfilled a few small requests or questions for us (we were there with a small child). Nothing that goes beyond normal but still very pleasant. The ambience is nice, so close to the river bank. This is marred a little by the closely spaced tables - understandable when the shop is buzzing, but still a bit cramped. The food was delicious for us and was delivered very quickly despite the house being full. But it was simply not enough for the high price. Of course, quality has its price and you can't and shouldn't always expect a portion for a herd of fattening pigs that you can take some with you and eat again at home like with the local Greeks, but for the money you should get more than 5 forks of pasta and something more variety on the plate.

Welcome to Germany! Had two drinks for €14… Card payments only possible from €25. It's unbelievable how work is done here... clearly a tourist hotspot and you don't have to rely on customers who come often... and that's exactly what you get to feel here! Too bad

The best restaurant in Meersburg and beyond for years. You immediately feel at home. Absolutely professionally managed by a friendly boss. #Meersburg #Restaurant #Delicious 😋

The best ice cream shop in the entire Lake Constance district My two daughters left here with sparkling eyes Many thanks to the team and the nice lady You are the best!

There is no relationship between price and performance.

Super nice atmosphere... friendly staff and great price-performance ratio despite the great location on the promenade. Thank you for the lovely evening. It was super tasty 🥰

I just had dinner here for the first time with my partner and in-laws and I have to say it was excellent. The service was super friendly, the food was excellent and the price was very good. I'd love to come back. Only recommended. Unfortunately no pictures were taken, next time 😉

Sorry guys, but really miserable and inedible

Delicious pizza in a great atmosphere with nice service. Highly recommended.

Super leuke plek in Meersburg. Bediening is goed en erg vriendelijk en het eten is super lekker. Zowel pasta, pizza, vis als vleesgerechten te krijgen. De eigenaar is zeer vriendelijk. We zijn deze week hier drie keer geweest en kregen zelfs een ( gratis) apperatief vooraf. Zoek je een leuke plek om wat te eten, ga dan zeker hier naar toe.

Good restaurant with a great location by the lake! There were six of us and overall we were very satisfied. Pizza and sea bream very good. The salad with chicken was delicately seasoned with vinegar dressing. Please DO NOT use the balsamic dressing as a decoration on the pasta. We'd love to come back. Price performance is completely okay

The boss basically caught us strolling along the promenade - I've never had that before. Service and food were great - nothing to complain about. Food came quickly, minor changes to a meal that was actually on the menu were no problem.

Good location, right on the lake. The service is good and the food tasted great. Only the cake wasn't that great. The cheesecake was too dense and the plum cake wasn't that special either. Felt like we were eating frozen cake. Compared to a nearby café/bistro (cake comes from a wholesaler in bakery quality), this cake cannot compete. Which is a real shame.

Right on the waterfront and with friendly and dedicated service that also took care of charging my watch and cell phone. Then the fillet of Lake Constance whitefish was perfectly fried and beautifully decorated on the red beet risotto. Finally, the original Italian espresso. Top...recommendation!

Wonderful location right on the waterfront. Great food selection at reasonable prices. The ambience but also the service are great.

We sat upstairs in the restaurant and the service there was really bad. Food came before drinks, wine spritzer stale, salad dressing indefinable. The waitress didn't even ask if we wanted something to drink and we had to pay ourselves downstairs. The toilets are very narrow and not clean. All in all we were disappointed and will not visit this restaurant again!!

The food was incredibly tasty and the service team was extremely friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was pleasant and the price-performance ratio was really great. We'd love to come back!

Right on the shore with a view of Lake Constance. Great location and the terrace is good for sitting. The food was quite good. Price-performance ratio is still correct. Fast friendly service. Everything very clean and tidy. Therefore recommended

We haven't had such a bad meal in a long time, the schnitzel looked like it came out of the deep fryer. The fish was absolutely inedible. Unfortunately everything is really very bland, but for people who know little about food, it's exactly the right thing. Because this always seems to be well attended.

A really good restaurant. We ate salad, salmon pastas and a fish. The chicken in the salad was really nice and the fish in noodles as well. Must try the mushrooms in the salad. Really recommended.

Food bad, price high, service mediocre. Aperol was watery. Nice atmosphere by the lake. No light in the toilet and no towels to dry off with.

Same mishap as a previous customer. We will tell you the amount to pay by card without a receipt. As the amount announced seemed high to me I insisted on having the bill before paying. At my insistence, she called a colleague who issued me the invoice: €17 difference for them. No apology from them. I will therefore not recommend this restaurant or be warned to ask for the detailed bill before paying.

Amazing place it’s ambience, service food , hospitality is really good , during my stay in Meersburg we visited this restaurant several times

A very nice Italian restaurant right on the lake, the menu has a great selection of fish and seafood. In addition, the classic dishes are not neglected. The prices are absolutely fine for a restaurant in such a great location. The service was very nice and the items were cleared and asked for very attentively. I really appreciate it. A little tip, if the weather is nice you can sit by the windows on the upper floor and have an outstanding view of the lake. We'd love to come back. Thank you for the good experience.

We were here twice and both times were very tasty: cocktails were good, rump steak, salmon fillet and pizza were all very tasty! The tapas shrimp were the best! Sat inside with a wonderful view of Lake Constance and once outside 3 meters from the lake

Preparing a Vitello Tonato should be a matter of course and not a challenge for every Italian. Especially since the tuna sauce doesn't have to be freshly prepared. However, if the sauce is a completely over-salted paste, the whole dish is in the bucket. The fresh pizza bread can't save it either. I visited the restaurant because of the good overall rating, but unfortunately I cannot share the rating. A failure. The second photo is for the nice owner of the restaurant, who, after reading my review, tried to convince me that the "sauce" was okay. Any layperson can find out how it really works on the Internet. The owner cannot handle criticism at all. You can see that from the fact that he only thanks you for good reviews. Negative comments are not improved at all. The tables outside are still so close together, even though several customers here have already mentioned this.

Nice location, right on the lake. Very, very nice staff, we felt at home! Delicious food and a selection of delicious drinks! We'll be back 🫶💫

We spent a very nice evening there with great service! ☺️👍

I had a terrible experience at Droste-Cafe. We arrived at 11 PM, an hour before closing time and asking for ice cream for our kids, but were rudely refused service despite a server initially offering to help us. The staff was uncoordinated and unprofessional. One server said we can serve you and the other one jumped in and said we are closed. They could have given the kids ice cream to go. The place was clearly open and the two servers were standing outside. There was no movement anywhere to suggest closing and it was more than an hour before their listed closing time. For rude staff and lack of proper service, i do NOT recommend this place to anyone.

We really wanted to sit with a view of Lake Constance. You sit with a view of the lake. Staff is attentive and friendly. The food is mediocre. I had a dish with the peppers and it was oversalted, so I ended up getting a price reduction because of that. My husband thought his pizza was quite good. The drinks - there was a homemade iced tea, but it was almost certainly a bottled iced tea from the supermarket, the homemade iced teas are not that sweet and those from the supermarket have their own taste, no matter what brand and it tasted the same. I found that very unfortunate. Personally, I think the prices for the service are overpriced, they probably charge more because of the lake view and because there are a lot of tourists walking by, some come. I wouldn't recommend until you revise the offer and offer what it says.

Food was delicious, delicious pizza and good mussels (unfortunately the salad dressing wasn't good at all, but that might be a matter of taste). Unfortunately service wasn't good. The waiter had no motivation or friendliness at all, it was more of a check-in. But location is great. If the service was better and it wasn't just about making money, we would come back. A pity.

Tolle Lage, schönes Ambiente- das ist nicht alles. Ich kann hier nur meine Erfahrung zu einem geplanten Tagesabschlussdrink widergeben. gegessen haben wir hier nicht. das kann also ganz anders sein. Ich hatte eine Moscow Mule bestellt. Nachdem ich neun Eiswürfel zum Teil entfernt hatte, füllte der Ober das Glas wieder auf. Anstelle von Spicy Ginger wurde aber Ginger Ale verwendet. Das schmeckte dann auch so. Der Cosmopolitan für meine Frau war zimlich dünn. Wir zahlten ohne auszutrinken.

Nice good food and excellent service. Price is economical also. Must try!

The most important thing is that all the dishes are halal. The atmosphere is great.

Very nicely located restaurant. It was just perfect for me for the evening. Enjoyed it very much. Unfortunately, I was a bit disappointed with the food because it was quite unseasoned and for me risotto has to be chunky and have a nice taste. Unfortunately that was a bit of a shame

Ein wirklich sehr schönes Restaurant mit gutem leckeren Essen und absolut faireren Preisen, nette und aufmerksame Bedienung, also alles in allem Top 👍

The pizza is super tasty, the service was friendly, you were served quickly even though it was full, nice view of the lake.

A very pleasant restaurant, the service was very accommodating, the food we had pizza and risotto for the main course and panna cotta for dessert was very tasty. We were often asked if everything was OK, just great. Keep it up. Unfortunately, one star deducted for the sanitary facilities. A pity

Nice restaurant right on the shore of Lake Constance. Very friendly staff!

Very nice atmosphere with very nice and friendly staff. Food is always excellent. Very highly recommended. Every visit is worth it.

Very nicely located right on the lake.

Good food, good service and a great view for a fair price. The restaurant was very clean and nicely decorated.

The food was very tasty. The two guys on staff were friendly and attentive. Not intrusive.

This restaurant was our favorite, the staff was super friendly, the food was delicious and the atmosphere was very nice.

Our dinner in the Droste was very successful, the taste was excellent.. Salmon fillet highly recommended..Staff friendly and accommodating.. Ambiance and mood harmonious to feel good..We always like to come back to you!

Everything is just perfect 😍 The food is delicious The service was very nice and accommodating The restaurant is very clean and well maintained We really enjoy coming here despite the 1 hour drive

The food came quickly and was super tasty. We were also able to enjoy the beautiful view of Lake Constance.

Beetles 🪲 in salad? No cutlery? Waiting in line to pay and exposing yourself to the anger of the waiters? It's a shame, we imagined something better. The boss had no interest in taking action either.

1. There was no cutlery at the table, we only received cutlery after requesting it, and the food had already been served and we couldn't eat. 2. Long waits for food! 3. The food wasn't tasty! I had a salad with seafood, there was no or hardly any tasty dressing, the seafood was tasteless with the green salad, which also tasted like nothing and there was no or hardly any dressing. The seafood was probably frozen and simply heated in a water bath, unfortunately it didn't taste like anything! I actually expected a salad with freshly fried shrimp and pieces of fish. 4. Unfortunately I had a bug in my food, if it had been fresh it would have been noticed, unfortunately I didn't receive an apology, just a message that it can happen. It was on the invoice and was removed from the invoice after the defect was pointed out. 5. The menu is much too big, so it was clear to me that with so much choice, not everything could be good. It's better to have less and do it right. 6. The fries were super tasty and the view was outstanding, unfortunately that was it! It's a shame, for the same price we eat a lot better here!

A super nice stay. Incredible scenery and really fantastic food. Clearly, full 5 stars.

The ambience was nice but the food was disappointing. The meat was very tough and the tomato soup was watery.

Nur zum empfehlen..Location top. Das Essen war sehr sehr lecker. Personal war unglaublich sehr freundlich deswegen die bekommen ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ von mir weiter so danke schön.

Very good food and service, price/performance was good. We'll come back when we're nearby

Very nice restaurant, delicious food, friendly staff, beautiful view of Bodensee, .. Congratulations and see you again...🙂

Aperol with a difference. Salute!

As usual, great food and great service!

Mesmerizing view from the balcony. Scrumptious lunch. Pizza is authentic and tasty. Hirsch Hefe Weizen is undoubtedly awesome. If you are in Konstanz please visit Meersburg and don't forget to try this restaurant with a wonderful view.

Very good Italian food, price performance is perfect. The staff is very attentive and very friendly.

Felt like I was on vacation, very nice staff

The food was tasty, but the experience was marred by the unfriendly waitress (with glasses). When I asked for a sauce for my fish with potatoes, I was told to order quickly as the waitress didn't have time. This type of customer service was disappointing and detracted from the overall experience.

The food was delicious and the atmosphere is wonderful. Only recommended!

Great place, all good was awesome. I will recommend 1000% Tiramisu was just melting in the mouth. Pizza, chicken breast, fish platter is too awesome. Try to go on weekends, weekdays there is no much vibe and felt food is kind of not fresh. I went on Saturday March 30th 2024 Saturday felt too good. Then again on April 1st 2024 Monday wasnt that good.

Café rather average. In my opinion, 0.5 mineral water for €6.2 is usury!

Super tasty, very good service, price performance is great. Location is a dream.

There was no non-alcoholic cocktail on the cocktail menu. However, something was specially prepared for me upon request.

One of the best pizzas I've eaten in a long time. A bit cramped outside but friendly staff. Drinks could be a little stronger, but the overall package is just right. 5 Stars.

right on the lake 🌅 Top service! The food is beautifully prepared and the taste is great 😋

We only had a drink, so I can't rate the food. Unfortunately I didn't get what was ordered and the white wine wasn't cold.

A nice restaurant directly with a lake view and on the Playa 😀. The spaghetti Alio & Olio were great. Unfortunately I didn't think the atmosphere was that great, but it was rainy and the outside front wasn't open to the water, so you felt a bit cramped and the seating was tight.

Right on the promenade, delicious food, nice staff, great space.

The ambience is good but you are processed here like on an assembly line. Service is intrusive and unfriendly. We won't be coming back

Should we take the empty plate home with us now? I'm not so sure anymore... The atmosphere is nice, but the friendliness of the blonde lady leaves a lot to be desired. And the one with the long black hair is out of place too. I asked for a fork. In the meantime, by the time she brought them, I grabbed one from the next table and started eating. They probably don't want to sell drinks here either... My glass has been empty for half an hour and no one asks if everything is okay... Catastrophe here... At least they made an effort with the ice. They really drove to the glacier in the mountains so that they could serve it fresh... Respect... They offer below-average service here. I like to eat out a lot and I like to tip, but here I should get something because I was there. The Italian restaurant Fährhaus Meersburg near the ferry pier is great!

Great tapas, a fantastic view of the lake, friendly staff, a little cramped to sit in but what the heck with the view 😎🍷

The pasta was quite good and it's really nice to sit outside on the terrace when the weather is good!

In einer Stadt, in der wirklich alles geschlossen ist, befürchtet der hungrige Tourist die klassische Abzocke. Kann es geben - aber nicht im Restaurant “ Droste “ in Meersburg. Wir wurden aufmerksam bedient, hatten Carpaccio in erlesener Qualität, genossen ausserordentlich gut gegrillte Scampis mit Chili- und Knoblauchöl, tranken hiesigen Wein, alles verlief ohne Wartezeit trotz gut gefüllten Restaurants. In Italien hätte der Mocca nicht besser schmecken können, den wir zum Abschluss des Mals genossen! Eine Gaumenfreude, die gastlich dargereicht wurde, einfach nur lecker und herrlich!

Very tasty and cozy there! Can only recommend it!

The schnitzel was not freshly prepared and tasted like a snack

Essen sieht super aus, ist aber geschmacklich leider nicht so toll.

The service and food were very good and, above all, the food comes very quickly. On the upper floor there is another super nice room with a beautiful decorated dome with a view of Lake Constance. Unfortunately the toilets weren't that good. Not so clean and the faucet was loose in both toilets.

Were just there to have a coffee ☕️! I mean €4.50 for a coffee is already a hefty sum!

Nice atmosphere and very friendly staff. Thank you for the extra cookies!! :D

Excellent food, impeccable service, good music

Nice restaurant right on the waterfront. Delicious Aperol and cappuccino. Fast friendly staff. Would love to come back

Food was excellent. Unfortunately, the staff was not at all attentive and not motivated. We had to call the staff ourselves every time and were not properly noticed.

It's disgraceful that the waffle machine is often broken

Für Montag Abend wie erwartet wenig los. Die Bedienung war freundlich. Bestellt haben wir eine Pizza Calzone und Penne al Forno bestellt. Diese kamen dann auch nach kurzer Zeit. Zur Pizza: An der Füllung wurde gespart, Teig war in Orndung. Erwähnenswert sind die 2 Soßen welche man dazu bekommen hat (Chilli&Knoblauch) Zur Penne: Geschmack war sehr fad. Auch die Chilli Soße hat es nicht aufgewertet. Das Hackfleisch musste man suchen und der Parmesan war auch geschmacklich den Penne gleich gestellt. Leider… Also im Sommer mit dem Ambiente und Lokal, muss das Essen deutlich gesteigert werden. Aber davon gehen wir hoffentlich aus. Eventuell gibt es ja ein Wiedersehen.
