Else am See in Schüttorf

Very nicely decorated and polite service. I don't like being called by the same name, but it's hip now. Food, drinks and views are great. It's a shame that the fireplace wasn't used.

Our main course was unfortunately unseasoned and bland (it was supposed to be carpaccio with truffle noodles/unfortunately only truffle oil and sliced ​​beef) but the staff and the ambience were top class. That's why we'd love to come back. Maybe it was just an isolated case for us.

I was at the Christmas market here and it was really great. The staff were very friendly, but what I can't understand... why is the entrance fee? Personally, I think the prices for food and drinks are a bit exaggerated...well...you just go there once and never come back...sorry

Very nice place, delicious food friendly service

Beautiful and cozy. Friendly staff. The breakfast was super rich and fresh.

Nice atmosphere, unfortunately everything is overpriced, nice staff

It's worth a visit. 👍🏻😀 However, the service is very inconsistent. One might get the impression that there is now generally more appearance like his on the agenda. 🤔 It would also be desirable if the kiosk would be operated as it was originally intended and, if I remember correctly, also prescribed.

Had a nice meal with a group of 5. Very friendly and prompt service in attractive surroundings.

Fantastic food here, everything is on the table fairly quickly. Great friendly service and a very nice location.

We had dinner there last night. The ambience both outside and inside was very nice. The restaurant was extremely busy, but the noise level was absolutely okay. The food was super tasty. The service is outstanding. Despite the full house, we didn't have to wait long for anything and the staff was very friendly.

Very friendly staff, quick service, not pushy. Delicious food, on the table quickly for a very fair price. Nice atmosphere and nice surroundings. Definitely a place to come back again (when we are in the area).

Super stylish location. The service was excellent and the food tasted perfect and was very attractively presented. Great cinema 👍👍

So the service was outstanding yesterday! Very attentive and quick. Thank you

As always, it was very nice...come here once a year, had a reservation and everything worked out to our complete satisfaction. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The food was very good.

Great location but quite expensive and unfortunately a very slimmed down menu in the afternoon

The great location on the lake immediately creates a holiday feeling. With a delicious snack and good coffee, we were able to enjoy the beautiful view of the lake and the autumn sunshine!

We were there with 4 people at the beginning of November and had reserved. The atmosphere is nice and the place was already very full at 6 p.m. on a Friday evening...in November, mind you! The staff was very friendly and hard-working, and yet we had to repeatedly draw our attention to the fact that a waitress was coming to us every now and then. The menu offers a larger repertoire related to the deep fryer...which doesn't have to be a bad thing. Overall, the price/performance ratio wasn't right. Tagliatelle, tomato sauce and burrata (which wasn't burrata but just a ball of mozzarella (no wet or liquid core) for €21.50...a hefty and excessive price for a very simple pasta dish without meat. Various Pinsa's for €19.50...that's not just almost...that's definitely cheeky! Every pizza is bigger and cheaper! For example, if you want sweet potato fries as a side dish, you'll have to shell out €6.50...for fries! That's outrageous then. The portions are neither small nor large, but given the prices I expect that even good eaters will get enough on their plate. The drinks, especially the wines, are also excessively expensive per glass and start at €7.50. We took all the desserts and can only recommend staying away from the men's meal: the rum in it was definitely skimpy and there was only a hint to taste. Much worse, however, was that the cream had many small lumps, similar to sago or when the gelatin clumps. The taste wasn't really like vanilla pudding but more like a "vanilla cream" in a cold way. We all left our €7.60 glass with 2/3 of its content...it tasted very artificial and then there were these lumps on the tongue...no. We also told the waitress this and she was very customer-oriented and offered everyone a free espresso. Unfortunately, it doesn't change the fact that we paid 4x7.80€ for a really unsuccessful men's meal. Our conclusion: For these dishes from the extended deep fryer or simple and quick dishes range, the prices are definitely at least 25-30% too expensive. If the quality isn't right (no burrata but normal mozarela, bad men's food) the ambience doesn't make up for it. It may be an even nicer location in summer and we are always willing to pay more for good food. However, it didn't suit us in several respects (especially the price-performance ratio) and we won't be coming back to eat.

Delicious food in beautiful surroundings. Despite the size of the restaurant, it is not a foodie.

I can only say the food, service and ambience are very good. Service staff was top Invites you to come back

The place is something special. That doesn't exist everywhere. The service is extremely convincing. When it comes to eating, I think there is still room for improvement. We had burgers, the meat wasn't warm enough and was dry. Otherwise it was great in terms of taste. There are better burgers in Schüttorf. Next time I'll eat something different.

Very good breakfast buffet with plenty of choice. Friendly staff

Chic restaurant right on the lake. It's a good place for hikers or cyclists to take a break. There are even vending machines outside where you can buy something.

It was really nice there. Very cozy and delicious.

Quite nice, but nothing more than that. Portions are big enough, it was also tasty and fresh. Great view, staff very nice. But I can't shake the feeling of being ripped off. I think the prices are really steep for the type of food you get there. Very simple, more like a bar. The children's menu is a joke to me. 10 euros for a tiny frozen pizza. You should really be ashamed of yourself!

€22 for a plate of pumpkin ravioli! Far too expensive and 100% not homemade (two ravioli were not filled) and then €22? Unfortunately, all pasta dishes cost €22, and my companion wasn't happy either. Service staff weren't very nice either. Unfortunately not recommended.

Wow - soooo delicious! Great reservation system and location... unreservedly recommended

We were there for breakfast. The buffet is plentiful and tasted very tasty. The service was very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.

Nice pearl in the middle of nowhere. Delicious lunch Beet carpaccio with goat cheese Ceasar Wrap and vitello tonata. That homemade lemonade is delicious

A beautiful location both outside and inside. Because of the great weather we were able to sit outside and it was really nice.

Great place, we have been here several times. We really like the type of catering and the connection to the water with the large terrace. A great place to relax when the weather is good... Today our 12 year old daughter wanted to order penne with tomato sauce, but that is only available as a dish for children. We asked if we could still order it and it wasn't about the price, there was no pasta dish for adults... But that wasn't possible because children's meals can only be ordered up to the age of 10. Seriously??? My daughter is not allowed to eat pasta with you because she is older than 10? And you don't suggest a plan B so that my daughter can eat pasta with tomato sauce? Service desert Germany... I'm curious if you react to this review...

We were guests with a large group - six adults, seven children. We were so impressed by the food, service and ambience that we stopped at Else's three times during our multi-day holiday. And every time we were thrilled with the overall package. Clear recommendation!

Food was good...but too expensive

We were at Else am See on a Sunday afternoon. You can walk beautifully around the small lake. The service was great, very quick and friendly. Lots of vegetarian options. The prices are quite high, you can't get less than €50-60 for two people for a drink + main course per person.

The prices are disproportionate.

Just a delicious meal. Surprised by the quality of the food TOP.

All in a very successful and good restaurant. Food came after a few minutes and was very tasty.

Very good breakfast with a very good selection. The location is great and definitely worth a visit. We like it here!

We had the breakfast offer and were satisfied. When it came to the croissants, we had the impression that they should only be very there and the cucumber was mushy. That's why I deducted a star

Ser Licher. We really enjoyed the food and it was right off a lake. Very beautiful. Friendly staff.

Beautiful terrace in a fantastic location. A beautiful lake with sun and a swimming beach where you can paddle, sail and fish.

Really great! The food is great, the service is also great and despite the large room and the corresponding occupancy, the acoustics are great :)

Nice atmosphere, delicious breakfast buffet, pleasant stay

It's a shame to even give one star. Today at breakfast everything wasn't always there. Always had to ask if there were supplies. Very cheeky employee. It's a shame to pay so much money and have such poor conditions.

The place is beautiful. The ambience inside is very tasteful. The service, well, apart from the waitress apparently having an innate smile, no one could really look friendly or even grin. Food, yes... We had Else's pan. The meat was done, yes. But it was also very solid. I definitely expect more from a pork fillet in a restaurant for almost €30. There were also fried vegetables in the pan, which tasted good and were also well seasoned. Then rosemary potatoes. Mini potatoes fried and seasoned with rosemary. Conclusion: the staff should be improved a bit in terms of friendliness. And the cook should look a little more closely at the meat and spices. Otherwise it is worth visiting again.

Mega local. Nice view of the lake. Staff attentive and friendly. Buffet rich and very tasty 😋 Price completely okay. 👍 Always a great experience.

Very nice service and very tasty food

Delicious food, beautiful location on the water.

Very nice view and very friendly atmosphere

The service was very nice but the food was everything else. We have never paid so much money for so little and not recommended food. Saddle of fallow deer was dry and tough despite being ordered medium. Homemade? Spaetzle and bacon beans pulled through water and mushroom cream sauce (little mushroom and little sauce). There are probably no spices in the kitchen (not even salt). In any case, we cannot understand the predominantly good reviews.

Great place, always worth a visit

Atmospheric restaurant with beautiful terrace on/on the water. Beautiful walking area. Price/quality lunch was moderate. Unfortunately, the staff had not slept well. Very unfriendly, even 'tasty food' could not be taken away by the person serving. We didn't really feel welcome. The exception to this was the cheerful girl who had to replace the candles on the tables. She provided a bowl of water for the dog herself.

And a large table was made possible at short notice. The food was super tasty, with a few exceptions. The service was very attentive and courteous. Unfortunately, a dish didn't come at all or only after repeated requests. That was a shame because we couldn't really all eat together. All in all, still highly recommended!

Beautifully made, purely visually. But you feel like you're in a train station. Very loud, the food was okay but the quality was clearly too expensive. The staff is very friendly, the food came quickly. But we won't be coming back to Else am See.

Die Location ist sehr schön am See gelegen. Was positiv zu erwähnen ist, das Ambiente ist deutlich schöner als ähnliche am See gelegene Lokale in der Umgebung. Er werden sowohl zum Lunch als auch zum Dinner leckere Gerichte angeboten. Der Service ist freundlich. Ein Lokal das man zu jeder Tageszeit sehr gut mit Freunden besuchen kann. Durch die Lautstärke ist das Lokal nicht wirklich als Date-Location geeignet. Ansonstne wirklich nett.

Tasty food. Excellent atmosphere and ambiance. Young staff, not always paying attention. Furthermore, good service.

Beautiful lokacion lots of space at the buffet.

A very! popular place. Reservations possible, but not guaranteed because they are always busy!

great local with quick service beautiful terrace with lake view. It is better to reserve at short notice and liked it

Wow, what a great restaurant. Right on the lake. Service was super nice, the food and drinks were at the table quickly and very tasty. We had burgers and salad. Delicious coffee ☕️ and waffles for dessert. Highly recommended. And a really relaxed atmosphere.

Very nice restaurant... Very nice and attentive service... Very tasty food... Highly recommended, whether it's a business lunch or a romantic dinner...

True for breakfast here with 8 people. It was very tasty, there was everything that tasted good and what you wanted. Go there more often by bike or car. Also for coffee and dinner. Very attentive waitresses! Just great!!

Beautiful restaurant, friendly staff, great food. I was completely satisfied. I was particularly impressed by the view of the lake. Highly recommended after a huge shopping trip. Then you really drive down. Top.

We were here at the end of August about 4:30 p.m. a week. There really wasn't much going on here with guests to be served. We initially waited about 15 minutes for our ordered 2 beers. ......then someone came to ask if we had already ordered. The beer finally came after a total of 20 minutes.

Fantastically beautiful no matter what the weather

We had the best service from Jil & Jule! Everything is great!

Very nice destination. You can go there very well and then have a meal or coffee afterwards. Everything is still very reasonably priced, the staff is very friendly and the atmosphere is unique. It definitely wasn't the last time we were there

Very nice. Overlooking the lake. Great atmosphere.

A great place, good service. Everything's fine.

We've been there several times and I had a good meal last night too! I had the Else pan with rösti! I'd love to come back!

Great recommendation and no longer an insider tip for a long time. Else am See combines a beautiful lake view with attentive staff and good food. The breakfast buffet is solid. The food a la carte was very good. Only the small variety of vegetarian dishes is likely to be greater in 2024, even in more rural areas, and the chef would be happy to receive training in how to use tofu.

Great location. Nice, attentive staff. Delicious food. Perfect👍

My wife was very happy with her meal from Elsa Pfanne. I, on the other hand, could have also ordered a breaded shoe sole. Never again original Wiener Schnitzel. The side salad was also barely edible and the cola was too heavy on ice cubes. It's a shame about the good money.

Always friendly service, great ambience and delicious food after a very short wait. We are always happy to be there again

As always, very tasty there Very nice atmosphere, especially by the lake. The service is good. And it always tastes good.

Were there on a very crowded Sunday evening, but the kitchen and service were still pretty quick. The taste of the food was really perfect except that the burgers could have been a little warmer. The price-performance ratio was therefore OK to good. Always my pleasure.

The food was simply delicious, the service was super friendly You didn't have to wait long for food We'll definitely be back I can only recommend it

Nice restaurant on the lake. Food is tasty but expensive by German standards 2x starter + main course + 4 drinks 100 euros. They keep up the pace, we were outside again within an hour. The starter was not finished yet and the main course was already on the table.

A nice place to eat, sit on the “beach” or just have a coffee. The atmosphere is great, unfortunately it was a bit overcrowded when we were there, but that's inevitable when the weather is nice. We had a lovely time there and would love to come back!

What a beautiful view of the lake

Too expensive. You almost only pay for the view of the lake.

Great food, friendly service, but the kitchen is overwhelmed when it has to pay extra attention.

Beautiful view of the lake, very attentive staff, delicious burger, the white wine spritzer...: could be a little more 😉 Unfortunately the motorcycle parking lot is occupied by cars (the barriers are simply pushed to the side) I don't think it's that good!

Very nice campsite, very friendly owners, super delicious tarts and cakes. Sanitary facilities are always tip top. Highly recommend CP 👍

Unexpectedly nice place not far across the Dutch border. Beautiful recreational lake and this establishment that has a beautiful terrace. We only came for a drink and despite it being very busy we were served quickly and friendly. Not cheap, expected slightly better prices in Germany.

Wie immer perfekt! Mega Frühstücksbuffet und toller Service. Es ist eine wunderbare Location mit sehr gutem Essen und wirklich super freundlichem Personal.

Ich bin mit meiner Frau vergagenen Donnerstag bei Else am See gewesen - tolles Wetter - tolle location - haben gerade noch den letzten Platz am Wasser ergattert! WoW, klasse :-) Dann haben wir bestellt - eine große Fl. Mineralwasser - die kam auch recht schnell-leider mit nur einem Glas - das wurde aber auch nachgeliefert! Alles ok! Nun zur Bestellung des Essens: hier hatten wir beid uns für jeweils 1x ELSE-Pommes entschieden weil wir dachten das eine so genatte Pommes schon etwas besonderes sein müsste - zusätzlich hatte ich mir einen Chickenburger bestellt! Beides kam nach ca. 5 Minuten zu uns an den Tisch - so schnell, das hatte ich noch niemals! Aber das zeigte sich auch in der Qualität: Die Pommes waren dünne Fettstäbchen (ca. 4x4mm dick) und trieften nur so von Frittierfett! Also kaum essbar - so dachten wir - aber nachdem ich den Chickenburger probiert hatte sind wir beide doch bei den Fettstäbchen geblieben! Der Chickenburger war eine Frechheit und jeder Chickenburger dieser Welt würde sich dafgür geschämt haben! Der erste Bissen ohne Fleisch war bis auf die Fiungerdicke Gurkenrohkost noch gerade ok - der zweite Bissen mit "Fleisch" war eine Zumutung und eher gut für den Dschungelkönig! Es war kein Hühnchenfleisch wie man es in einem Chickenburger erwartet - dies sagte ich auch der eilig herbeigerufenen Bedienung und fragte was für ein Fleisch das hier denn wohl sein könnte - die nahm das ungenießbare Ersatzteillager mit in die Küche, kam nach einiger Zeit zurück und sagte das es kein Hühnchen Brustfleisch sei und auch der Koch wüßte nicht genau was für ein Fleisch das wäre! Wir hatten uns noch ein wenig echauffiert - und dann nach der Rechnung gefragt - diese kam dann auch schnell und siehe da: Ich sollte diesen Ersatzteil"burger" auch noch bezahlen...auch bei meiner Nachfrage sagte die Bedienung das ich das zahlen müsste....nun platze mir endgültig der Kragen und ich verlangte nach der Geschäftsleitung - die arme Bedienung lief dann fort und kam nach einer gefühlten 1/2std. zurück mit der Aussage das der Burger dann doch gezahlt werden müsste! Ich zahlte den Rest mit einem guten Trinkgeld für die Bedienung(die konnte ja schließlich nix dafür!) und wir gingen dann mit einem schlechten Gefühl .... FAZIT: Dieses "LOKAL" werden wir nicht wieder betreten - anderswo ist es auch schön....und das Essen um LÄNGEN besser! Eine Frechheit was dem Gast dort beim Essen abverlangt wird - das grenzt schon fast an Körperverletzung! Mein Rat - bitte nicht dorthin zuum Essen gehen....und wenn doch - dann AUF GAR KEINEN FALL DIE ELSE FRITTEN UND/ODER DEN CHICKENBURGER bestellen! Liebe Grüße an Alle....und ganz besonders an die Geschäftsleitung von Else am See!Jochen

Super nice facility, clean, not overrun and really delicious food and drink. I can only recommend it!

On the way through, we took a short break here with a great view of the lake. Stylish ambience, friendly service and delicious food. Clean toilets and a nice playground in front of the door. There are enough parking spaces available. Prices ok.

Wow. The sauce on the vegan burger was very good. The beet patty was very tasty, and the wonderful buns with flowers and herbs were just superb. The French fries were well cooked and had the right crunch to fluff ratio. My friends' Ceasars salad was also good, but not what one would consider a Ceasar sauce exactly. The portions were good. The service was great. The server we had also understood English, in case you need that. I can very much recommend the ginger and lemongrass drink. Overall, we are very happy with this establishment. The atmosphere is really nice and relaxing. The view is also very good. The presentation of the food and drinks was done with care and flair. I can recommend this place even to the pickiest people.

Sit by the lake in wonderful summer weather and enjoy cake and ice cream. Simply wonderful

Quick service, very good food. Great ambience by the lake. Be sure to reserve.

Unfortunately it's getting more and more expensive!

We were there for breakfast today. It was lovely to sit outside in lovely weather. The buffet 1a. Nothing was missing and it tasted very good. The service was very nice and attentive.

Brunch was very tasty. Good selection, nice service and nice view

Beautiful view delicious food and friendly staff

Really unique, great atmosphere with a perfect view of the lake. Super delicious food. Great service and a unique perfect ambience by the lake. Gladly again and absolutely recommended 👍👍👌💯👋🙏

Very nice atmosphere, nice and attentive service and very tasty food👍🏻

We had dinner there today. The ambience is great. Just like the prices. Absolutely overpriced. And then the quality of the food is poor. My husband's pork fillet had endless tendons, was flattened like a schnitzel and dry like the sole of a shoe. My spare ribs still had the silver skin on them, the meat was tough and could hardly be removed from the bone, the glaze was simply tasteless. We reported this to the waitress and were offered a new meal, but we politely declined. I can't say whether we were just unlucky today. But to charge almost 65 euros for 2 main courses with 2 beers - then delivery has to be made. Unfortunately, no recommendation, even if the location and ambience were so nice. The service staff are very nice. Here you're just called on your first name, I don't really know that either. Well, everyone should have their own experience.

Great location! Food was only lukewarm when I got it!

Fantastic place and delicious food. Fast and nice service.
