Einkehrhaus Waidmannsruh in Königswinter

We stopped in today in beautiful winter weather, and even though it was incredibly busy, the service was consistently friendly and attentive. We always enjoy coming here. 💕

Very friendly staff and delicious waffles and tarte flambée. We sat outside and were given a patio heater and blankets at our table.

The ambiance is very nice. We can't comment on the food, as we left hungry after 30 minutes without any attention from the staff. It's outrageous to so consistently disregard guests.

The ambiance is truly lovely. However, the service leaves much to be desired. We waited for over half an hour; a waiter and a waitress saw us several times but then vehemently ignored us. Our attempts to get their attention were also skillfully overlooked. We then decided to try another restaurant, so we cannot comment on the food.

Very friendly staff, you immediately feel comfortable, even with a dog. The food was also very good 👍

Highly recommended. After a long hike, I was quickly and easily assigned a seat. Friendly service and a very good, homemade schnitzel. Excellent value for money.

Great food, especially the currywurst with fries. Very nice, rustic interior.

Today, six of us went hiking and wanted to have a drink. Unfortunately, we sat at the table we were shown to for 45 minutes without anyone taking our drink order. The wheat beer we ordered wasn't poured, and the glasses were still full of water. The waffle we did have, however, was very tasty. Some of the service staff seemed quite unmotivated.

A really beautiful location, and despite the large number of customers, the staff always had a friendly word for everyone. The homemade cake is delicious, and the waffles are also highly recommended. Well... now I have to downgrade my 5-star review. After my last visit, where the service was already abysmal, today's experience crossed the line. I sat there for 20 minutes, and none of the staff even attempted to speak to me. There wasn't even a menu; instead, they served people who arrived after me. Unacceptable!

Friendly service and very tasty food.

A very romantic restaurant above Stelzenberg in Königswinter

I hadn't been to this inn before, and the four of us went there yesterday. The dining area inside was completely full, except for two tables for two, so we found a table outside. The two servers were incredibly friendly and served us super fast, even though the place was packed. Kudos to them; I hadn't expected that. The food—various waffles, pumpkin soup, and four lattes—was absolutely flawless. Everyone enjoyed their meal, the coffee was excellent, and everything arrived at our table in no time. We were more than satisfied and will definitely be back.

We stopped by today and enjoyed delicious waffles and a wonderful apple pie. Thank you!

Every time a special culinary experience with great service

A place such as in a fairy tale, loved it!! So cute!! In the middle of the wood. Around 15 minutes walk from parking space. Tasty food. Very nice service. You can eat inside or (covered) outside. Spotless toilets with free sanitary and a nappy changing table for babies. Dogs welcome.

I can only confirm the many positive reviews here. It's now become a regular tradition for my colleagues and me to plan and organize a get-together at the Einkehrhaus before Christmas for a goose dinner. We look forward to it every year. The goose is always beyond delicious, the ingredients plentiful and delicious, the ambiance is just right with a stroll before and after, and the staff are always super friendly and in a good mood. It's simply a pleasure to stop by here, and not just at Christmas, by the way. If you're traveling in the Siebengebirge, I highly recommend stopping by. The goulash soup is also extremely delicious, and in the summer, there's a lovely beer garden to linger in.

Great food for relatively little money

A wonderful, lovingly designed place. The service was great!

Lovely location in the forest for a break. Very friendly staff & lovely food.

A very nice place to stop for a break! The seating is great, and the May punch was incredibly delicious! It's not a bad idea to plan your hike to include a break here 😃

Very friendly staff. I was also satisfied with the food. I'd gladly go back.

A wonderful place, a good rest stop on a hike through the Siebengebirge mountains. Great ambiance, super friendly service. We enjoyed the Federweißer. The tarte flambée and onion tart weren't as good. Nevertheless, it was a pleasant stay.

I had breakfast with a friend. It was delicious and plentiful.

Unfortunately, we weren’t very hungry, so we only had a light snack and a drink. Even so, the experience was delightful. The service was excellent: friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was truly amazing. The restaurant is beautifully decorated, creating a very cozy and inviting space that makes you want to stay and relax

A pearl in the forest...you're welcome here. The lady [with dark hair] who serves there is friendliness personified. She knows her guests and is on the ball. The drinks and food are perfect...some restaurants (for example, nearby) could take a leaf out of their book...I always enjoy coming there on hikes with my daughter. Hence the 5 stars...we're always happy to be there again. Roland Schmitz

Delicious tarte flambée and interesting stories.

Two stars for the beautiful location, but unfortunately, we didn't get to try anything. After a lovely walk, I wanted to eat something here. I asked if I could sit down and was given a table. We then waited 15 minutes and made eye contact with the staff several times, but unfortunately, they were either too busy or unwilling to help us. After 20 minutes, I thought it was good and left. The table we were assigned also belonged to a couple who left without eating anything. It's a nice place and the food seems to be good. Unfortunately, our lunch wasn't a success.

Nice place but we had to wait a long time and weren't helped so we just walked away.

After a strenuous, steep climb, whoosh! The house shimmers through the trees, unexpected and yet longed for... An older house with flair, immaculately maintained, the beer garden on terraces, many old, shady trees, but also sunnier spots. The service is friendly and competent, and her husband cooks – and how. If you expect the quality of a chip shop, as is often the case, you're wrong! A small, exquisite menu with a high level of quality, the wines are select and to match. Today I chose chanterelle cream soup, with great finesse, yet spicy, yet delicious. I've never had it served like that before; truly unusual. And it's a good thing I only had that soup to start with. I wouldn't have been able to handle another course. The portions at the neighboring tables were super generous, and the reviews were always positive. You sit well apart. Hats off, a gem in the middle of the forest! I'll be back.

Delicious food. I can recommend the tarte flambée with goat cheese and pear. We had a lovely meal in the beer garden 😀

Just had a drink. Top location!!!

Great place to stop for a bite to eat. Unfortunately, we can't comment on the food since we were only there for drinks, but the dishes served to the other guests all looked good. The waiter was simply fantastic, and the other waitresses were all very friendly. Next time, we'll come for dinner.

The homemade iced tea was amazing, and the tarte flambée was also fantastic! Friendly staff, good service. I highly recommend stopping by!

Today, on our hike through the Siebengebirge, we stopped at the Waldmannsruh Inn. The location is perfect under the trees, with shady and sunny spots in the beer garden. Whatever you like. The interior also looks very nice, but because of the nice weather, we enjoyed the beer garden. The service here is truly exceptional. The chef always has a cheerful saying on his lips. Orders are processed smoothly, and all the servers are extremely friendly and attentive. The drinks are well-chilled, and the food is just as delicious as the cake. If you pass by the Waldmannsruh Inn, you should definitely stop in; otherwise, you'll definitely miss out on a picturesque restaurant with great service and delicious food 😊

I'm sitting in this idyllic spot. The service staff are very attentive and polite. You feel like a welcome guest here. Great. PLEASE keep it that way.

We ordered a buffet from Daniel for a christening. The food was perfect! The service was impeccable! I highly recommend it to everyone. Thank you so much.

The Einkehrhaus isn't accessible by car. So you have to go by bike, on foot, or on a scooter! So, of course, there's no parking! At our time of day, Thursday, around 2 p.m., there were still plenty of nice spots available. We sat outside in the beautiful weather. Owner-run, you can have some really nice conversations with his family (if you like). The food was just as perfect as we needed it at that time. We had a great time there and will definitely hike by and stop by again. The post box in front of the entrance is cute. It's probably also used by hikers coming down from the Petersberg, for example! For orientation in the Siebengebirge, we recommend maps/a fully charged cell phone and, of course, sturdy shoes (so your feet can orient themselves as best as possible :-) ) Happy Einkehr :-)

A really cute place to stop in the Siebengebirge with great service and the waffle with strawberries, ice cream and cream is highly recommended!

The location in the middle of the forest is really nice if you are around for a hike in the Siebengebirge. The food is delicious and goes beyond the classical “German Wirtshaus”. You get a full restaurant type of experience, but also the smaller snack if you only want a little boost for your hike. The Service personnel is very nice and helpful. We go there maybe twice a year when we are on a tour.

Very nice hiking restaurant. The food was always great.

Completely delighted. Delicious regional dishes. Very friendly staff. Cozy. At the end, we even got a short service lesson from the waitress. Highly recommended.

Really a great place to stop after a short hike.

Very nice stop with delicious food

Quiet location. Friendly staff. Whether on foot or by bike – a great place to stop for a break.

Great food, a wonderful atmosphere in the beer garden, and above all, super friendly service. They even thought about our dog and provided large water bowls. Another positive thing to mention is that you can pay by card. We'll be happy to come back.

Super friendly staff, delicious food, beautiful location - and you can pay by card :) I can only recommend it!!!!!

Definitely recommended, everyone was very friendly and attentive, good value for money.

Simply great. Nice service, delicious food and drinks. Please make sure to stop here for a break in the shade or in the sun. In the middle of the forest.

Only accessible on foot. Beautiful forest paths. Great restaurant, friendly service. The food is always good

We were there on May 1st. We really enjoyed the fresh Maibowle, very tasty tarte flambée and the lovely ambience in the shady place. Despite the high workload that day, the staff were very nice and accommodating.

Very nice place in the middle of the forest!

Went there for lunch today on our hike, everything was great and we'll be happy to come back

Cozy atmosphere, friendly and numerous service, quick food, delicious fried potatoes.

Very nice restaurant with delicious waffles!

My favorite place to stop during a hike or bike ride. Great food paired with warm service leaves time for relaxation and is definitely worth a visit!

Very comfortable to sit in, nice and friendly service. Food was very good.

Very cozy and a good selection of cakes and small dishes

Excellent food and very good, friendly service with a cozy atmosphere! Gladly again!

Very tasty Belgian waffle eaten. Very nice staff. Nice location.

Very nice atmosphere, great for a walk in the winter and then ending the day with cocoa, coffee and potato crackers. Unfortunately it was closed over the holidays. But the staff celebrates Christmas and New Year. 👍

Walked past it again and again for many years, stopped by for the first time today. Very surprised at how many seats were reserved inside on a Friday lunchtime, we managed to get a comfortable spot in the dining room. We ate the goulash soup from the jar and the kale with Rhenish Mettwurst. We enjoyed both very much on this cold January day. Overall, we felt very comfortable in the rustic hut charm with the food and the service.

Delicious goose food...highly recommended!

Special service and perfect goose dinner in a romantic atmosphere

We had our wedding dinner with a small group in the retreat house. Excellent goose food and vegetarian alternatives. Attentive and familiar service, cozy atmosphere with great Christmas decorations. Highly recommended! Many thanks to the team at the Waidmannsruh Einkehrhaus!

We were there to eat goose. It was well attended and therefore full and loud. The tables were quite strangely positioned and you had to squeeze past them. The goose was juicy and tasty, but wasn't baked crispy. For me personally the dumpling was a bit bland. Because it was so loud, we decided to leave right after dinner. The service was very friendly.

A very good retreat. We were there for a goose dinner with 18 people. The food was very tasty and of good quality. What needs to be highlighted was the waiter Sebastian, who did his job in a friendly and humorous way and improved the mood again.

Cozy atmosphere and very tasty food. I can only recommend the goose meal, and the side dishes were so generous that the leftovers were lovingly packaged for us to take with us. Next year we will make reservations again for the roast goose at the latest.

I was there as a child and I'm totally satisfied as an adult too. The waiter knew the ingredients of the dishes and, as a vegan, also offered me alternatives <3

Delicious cappuccino, very friendly service

…great destination - staff very friendly - food was delicious 😋

This inn is of course perfectly located in the forest, but it quickly becomes overcrowded (overwhelmed). The goulash soup that is served there is not goulash soup but a potato soup with some canned beef. So it's better not, at least not for the price.!!

Nice to sit on and from the outside. Coffee with eggnog was tasty but not hot enough. Unfortunately there was a bad sewer smell outside. Cheese and caramel cake too dry. Criticism of the ice cream was ignored by the waiter without saying a word.

Wonderful atmosphere, highly frequented especially over weekends and when the weather is nice. The staff is very friendly and engage with the customers in a chatty connecting way. The food is delicious!

Found it by chance and had a wonderful meal: great surroundings, friendly service and pleasant guests: highly recommended!

A great location in the Siebengebirge. We always enjoy coming here. Just stopped in today for a glass of wine and was very satisfied again. Very nice service, great service, loving decoration on the terrace. Highly recommended!

We felt very comfortable! Just the thing after a hike... delicious food, super nice and personal service, and the atmosphere is relaxed and rustic but decorated with great attention to detail. We'll be back!

We stopped here during our hike. Delicious cuisine at reasonable prices, friendly service staff, a nice atmosphere inside and outside. We felt comfortable here.

Great after a hike or walk in the Siebengebirge, delicious, good prices, beautifully presented, outside and inside gastro, cozy

A great opportunity to stop off while hiking. The staff is very friendly, the atmosphere is very nice and the food is delicious. The spinach dumplings were particularly great!

We always enjoy coming back and enjoying the waffles. But the tarte flambée is also very good. The atmosphere is beautiful in every season.

My wife and I held our wedding reception here after the wedding in the Ordenskommende Ramersdorf. The best decision after our wedding. The preliminary discussion to discuss the menu was characterized by a very personal, familiar atmosphere. We were served some unorthodox suggestions, including a grill buffet combined with Mediterranean-inspired side dishes. That convinced us. The second preliminary discussion about the wine list was also as relaxed as it was philosophical. We knew then that it was the right decision. You could tell how much verve and enthusiasm the restaurant management was putting into it, and that it was something with so much more passion than the umpteenth celebration in a run-of-the-mill conference hotel. On the day of the celebration, the organization was as perfect as it was flexible. For days afterwards, all guests, without exception, raved about the individual, authentic and rustic atmosphere as well as the superb food. The hit for everyone was the roast beef in the espresso chili marinade! Many thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Grewe, Mr. Eichelhardt, Sebastian and the whole team. Without you, our special day would not have been half as memorable. We'd love to celebrate with you again! Thanks!

Very nicely located retreat in the Siebengebirge. A place to linger and enjoy. Very nice, lovely staff!!! and the menu with a wide selection of food and drinks. It's always worth it and in bad weather you can still sit outside thanks to the great awnings.

Super nice, friendly hosts and delicious food. Come back soon

Very friendly service and very good food. Thanks.

Beautifully located in the middle of the Siebengebirge, easy to reach from Heisterbach Monastery, Magaritenhöhe and various other hiking car parks. Centrally located in the middle of the forest whether Petersberg, Ölberg, Löwenburg or Rosenau, everything can be reached with a comfortable hike. Ambiance, service and food are all harmonious and delicious. Definitely worth a visit. The old house is beautiful inside and out ingucker, you go on a journey through time. Simply wonderful!

In the middle of the forest, very idyllic. Food and service were very good. Can be further recommended.

Very nice place to stop! Was very satisfied all around!

Wir wandern gerne im Siebengebirge und eine Rast ist immer gut. Für den kleinen Hunger haben wir uns eine Waffel mit Puderzucker bestellt. Die war super lecker und schmeckte nach Vanille. Das Personal ist mega freundlich. Wir kommen wieder.

Very good service and very tasty food

Super friendly service! Very tasty waffles 😋

Went there to drink cocoa and it was unbearably sweet. When asked about it, they said it was just normal cocoa? Probably with 10 teaspoons of cocoa? There was no offer to make amends with any other drink. Then ordered still water and received the wrong one and opened it and poured it. Complained again. Were there at a time when the weather was bad and nothing was going on.

Delicious ice cream, nice atmosphere, very nice staff. Very friendly, funny, just pleasant.

Super nice location, the food is very tasty and a good selection of drinks. The service is very good and very friendly. We were completely satisfied and will definitely come back more often 😁

The name initially suggests rustic oak and “There are only little pots outside!” think, but when you come around the bend on the hike from Drachenfels and see the colorful facade, the picture is put into perspective. And the cheesecake with poppy seeds is to die for.

A really fantastic place. The homely furnished house is idyllically located in the forest. Combined with the delicious food and the incredibly friendly staff, this is a perfect place to recharge your body and mind, especially if you are hiking in the beautiful surroundings. Highly recommended.

Beautiful inn in the middle of the forest. If you get a seat outside when the weather is nice, everything is wonderful 🌞👍

A chic refuge in the middle of the forest, the house specialty is waffles. Unfortunately, the service is inadequate, with five conditions only one lady is responsible for paying. We only drank two beers and, after waiting for over half an hour, we finally handed the money to another waiter. Instead of the Kölsch we ordered, there was a Pils without any notice.

Quaint and cozy. The service is very friendly.

War das Ziel zum Mittagessen auf einer Wanderung mit der Firma. Haben zum Glück reserviert denn es war gut besucht, Essen sehr gut, Bedienung sehr nett, also wirklich zu empfehlen. Besonders gut sind Serviettenknödel mit Pfifferlingen. Auch die Kuchen sind hervorragend.

Beautifully located in the forest and definitely worth a stop. We didn't eat anything but we will definitely do so on our next visit
