Else am See in Schüttorf

Beautiful location, rich selection of culinary delights. Very attentive and friendly staff. We'd be happy to come back.

Great ambiance, with an outdoor terrace by the lake, and very friendly, prompt service. Extensive menu with delicious dishes. Plenty of parking.

When making the reservation or upon arrival it was not pointed out that the table had already been reserved again after 2.5 hours. You can't spend a nice evening like that. The food is purely system gastronomy and is designed only for Provit. We weren't asked for our order until 20 minutes after we arrived. Unfortunately, another disappointing evening at this location. A pure money printing machine. If I could give 0 stars I would. Tasteless rip-off. The two stars for the ambience are only given for the location on the lake.

nice atmosphere. right on the lake. Unfortunately the service leaves a lot to be desired when it is very empty🙄 ......the service grumpy and rarely visible. That was absolutely no service at all. .....probably the service is better when it's full because they need the tables🤔 ....prices are extremely high, the portions have become smaller.

We ate at this restaurant and it was delicious. The atmosphere is really nice, outside with a view of the lake, especially when the weather is nice. The service was very friendly and also very attentive. The food came super quickly, even though there was a lot going on. I can only recommend it and would go here again in a heartbeat.

A nice restaurant but unfortunately a total idiot attitude when it comes to the food. There were three of us there with a friend who only wanted a children's plate for health reasons and didn't get it because she is older than 10 years old. I find that kind of disgusting, so that was the last time we were there Kind regards, S Schreiber

Very nice atmosphere Great service and great food We enjoyed it very much and the price-performance ratio was also OK

It was so beautiful there. We could see the water and enjoy the sun Will definitely come back

Very good ambience, nice staff, very nice location, very tasty 😋 food, highly recommended 🤗🤗🤗👍👍👍👍

Wonderful piece of earth. Nice to linger and walk around the lake. You should definitely visit.

We really enjoy being there. You feel comfortable, you feel welcome, the service and the food are good.

Beautiful location by the lake!! We always enjoy coming to Else! delicious food and drinks 🍹☕ A young, nice team. Else is always like a day of vacation.💯

a great restaurant by the lake, great ambience, great service, good food

Having been there too much today, the food was very tasty and really good

Delicious food, great service and above all a beautiful location and beautiful view, whether the weather is bad or good.

Great restaurant, with a nice view of the lake, the food was good, but the highlight was the dessert.

The ambience and location is beautiful. You can take a wonderful short walk around the adjacent lake (1.7 km/approx. 30 minutes). However, the prices are also rather high.

Really very nice. Great food and excellent service from a young and motivated team. Despite the fact that the restaurant was very busy, the drinks and food came quickly. From the window you have a fantastic view of the lake. All in all a successful evening

We really enjoyed the evening.. Great atmosphere, delicious food and great service and view.. We'll be back. Feel free to follow me #baerbelausberne on Insta..

It's a shame, but Else has become really expensive and the staff ensures very fast service and wants a quick "change of guests". Price performance is no longer in proportion.

We went to eat at Else's today for Valentine's Day 2025 - unfortunately we were not at all satisfied with the choice of food. Why do I make an age-restricted menu for kids? Our daughter is not a big eater and we would have liked to just order fries and nuggets for her. That wouldn't work because she's 11 years old. (Can be ordered up to 10 years). Why the hell am I doing this? The end of the song was that she ate fries with my wife. She didn't find anything on the rest of the map. Well, it's a shame - a restaurant with such a sophisticated ambience is completely ruined by such nonsense. Oh well - statement from the service person - the boss would have determined it that way and there's nothing that can be done about it - ridiculous

Breakfast brunch is recommended

Highly recommended! Everything is right here!

The ambience, the service and especially the food, or spare ribs with fries and a salad plate with honey mustard sauce, were very tasty. Price - performance fits.

Great quick service. Best location in the area. Great location by the lake. Always happy 👍

Delicious food and you get a lot. Food is also served very quickly.

Nice place including a view of a lake. Culinary also top. Is worth a visit.

Great atmosphere with great service. Would love to come back

Great atmosphere Food was good and the service was super nice and friendly We weren't here for the last time

Sing just arrived at this beautifully located restaurant...and out again. The first impression was great, we were quickly and friendly brought to a table - with a view of the lake (admittedly it was a table for 6 people...) which had previously only been occupied by two people. The place was really full and getting even more crowded! A short time later another waitress came and explained to us that she needed the table for a group of 5 people and that between 2:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. you couldn't reserve a table, but the group had reserved exactly that table - I understand I don't (of course, 5 guests make more sales than 2 guests). Then we were told that we could look for another table, but in my opinion that didn't exist. Impossible!!!! The first impression was really great, but the second one backfired!

Excellent cuisine, lovingly prepared dishes and a stylish ambience. The service was attentive and friendly – ​​gladly again!

Great location. On Sundays we offer brunch, very tasty. Always my pleasure.

We think that the food has gone down. My husband had a steak that was sliced ​​as thinly as a schnitzel 🫣 Friend of ours had a burger which was also very small. I'm happy to pay for good food, but I thought what we got and had to pay for two people wasn't fair.

Great atmosphere with a great view. Only had coffee and cake. Price for a thin waffle without everything at 6.50 euros is way too expensive. Unfortunately we didn't see that when ordering. Almost 20 euros for 2 coffees, 1 piece of cake and 1 waffle was unfortunately very exaggerated

Always very nice there. Nice atmosphere right on the lake. Nice waiters/waiters. We love going there, especially in summer when the terrace is open.

Ambience great Food top Great Ser Gladly again Thanks to the team

Stopped in quickly and spontaneously on Friday afternoon and immediately got a table with a view of the lake. The service, which consists of 99% of young arranged people, is perfectly organized, fast, polite, competent and constantly asks whether the guests still have a wish and are satisfied... We go out gastronomically several times a week and it's easy for us to say that this changing team always deserves 5 stars for their efforts! Food is always tasty and the portions are okay. This time there was a large, normal burger with fries and schnitzel. Update: Also at Christmas & New Year beautiful and of course culinary always delicious!

Unfortunately only 2 stars! The food and view deserve 5 stars! We had reserved a table for lunch on Boxing Day. When we arrived we were told that they couldn't reach me by phone because the table was only reserved for 2 hours. First of all, I never got a call or an email or anything like that. Secondly, I booked the table for Christmas back in October! Absolute impudence!!! And if you have to wait over an hour for your food, you can't tell the customers that you have to clear the table after 2 hours. The response to special requests when ordering was also extremely inflexible. For example, it was not possible to cancel the side dish (fries) from a CHILDREN'S MEAL. The waiter's statement: That's not possible, the price still remains the same! We were really annoyed and will definitely not go here again on Christmas Day and definitely won't recommend it to anyone!

Are here for breakfast. Once again everything was great. Extra requests are fulfilled if possible. Gladly again

We were there for the Christmas market. Top the area. But you should buy the tickets beforehand.

An interesting, very beautiful location located on a lake. Was there for breakfast, very tasty, rich, large buffet. Absolutely recommended! 😄

What can you say in this day and age - to get a break, with a nice ambience, courteous staff - where the dog is also seen as a "guest", delicious food - I can see that on the neighboring tables😉, but also the tea one Piece of cake tastes delicious, all you can say is - thank you for the beautiful place, the nice break with a beautiful view ☺️

The food is a disgrace, completely overpriced and not even tasty. It seemed like they were working with convenience products.

Been there for dinner. - Service: 1+ - Taste: 2 - Price/performance: 3- - Ambience: 2 - Cleanliness: 4+ Conclusion: Recommended

Beautiful restaurant with a special ambience by the lake. The secret tip is the Belgian waffle with ice cream on a rainy day.

A contemplative Christmas market.

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).

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

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

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.

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!

It was really nice there. Very cozy and delicious.

€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

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

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

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.
