Eventgastronomie Forum :terra nova in Elsdorf

We celebrated there with a brunch and 40 guests and it was great satisfied. The location and surroundings are very impressive. The brunch itself was great: the cold/warm buffet was beautifully presented, the food was very tasty and varied and the "in-house" baker is also highly recommended. The staff was super friendly and attentive. All guests felt very comfortable. The planning in advance with the friendly manager was competent and uncomplicated. The implementation of all wishes worked great. And the price/performance ratio is unbeatable. We can also fully recommend the restaurant for celebrations.

Today, January 12th, 2025, we went to brunch with friends at Event Gastronomy Forum :terra nova. Top and unbeatable price-performance ratio💯👌. Very tasty and varied cold/warm buffet. 😍💯👍🍴👌😋 😋 😋. Very nice and attentive staff💯👍. I can only 💯% recommend everyone to experience brunch there. 😍💯. That was definitely not the last time we were there, as the dinner was also great.👍💯😍

We love Sunday brunch. Good food, great, very attentive staff and the price-performance ratio is brilliant. Gladly again

We called around midday and had a very friendly conversation with good information about occupancy and local events, so we set off When we arrived, we were quickly welcomed and were able to sit down at a table with a beautiful view The atmosphere with light music and interesting views with light sun and later a beautiful sunset was stunning The service was quick, super friendly and very accommodating. We felt very well looked after and welcomed with small conversations in between The food we got during our long stay was very tasty, and there were no unfulfilled wishes here Carefully prepared with fresh ingredients, beautifully presented and the selection has something for everyone We'd love to come back

We were welcomed here very nicely, the service was extremely friendly and there was a menu that left nothing to be desired. Since we spent several hours here we were able to try a good selection of food and we loved it. We are already looking forward to another visit

Very, very nice ambience in the sunset and a latte macchiato. Nice staff and good food 👍

I liked it and would like to come back again. The live music was good too.

Very good food and friendly treatment

Super nice staff and great restaurant food tastes great. It's not entirely clear to me what exactly a restaurant does in a place like this. The place makes you think, but the staff can't do anything about that. Top service and very friendly customer support

Incredibly nice service, unique view and friendly staff

Good ambience and stable coal mine.

Always nice to be here. Nice service, good food, at good prices.

Beautiful view and almost a holiday feeling. The food is also good value for money and the staff is very friendly and quick. I will definitely come back! 😁

We ate here today and it tasted very good. Large fries, nachos and the Kaiserschmarn were very tasty and quickly prepared. The service was very friendly and we were served quickly. All in all, we really enjoyed the visit. There is a large parking lot directly opposite the roundabout! The toilets were also very clean! Gladly again!

Great ambience. We weren't here for the last time. Highly recommended.

!!!WE ARE SHOCKED!!! I don't know how to start, the shock is so deep. My son (9 years old) will have his first communion on April 30, 2022. We planned communion 6 weeks ago at Terra Nova and received confirmation. We consciously chose Terra Nova. There is a beautiful outdoor terrace on site, there is a lot to watch from the viewing point, there is also a playground for the little guests, guests with dogs have the opportunity to take a walk on the large area around Terra Nova. Everything would have been perfect. My wife's family lives in Italy and has flights booked and a hotel. My family comes from Lower Saxony and has already booked a hotel. Vacation was taken. My wife made the invitation cards for over 20 people herself. Everything was planned for this one day. My son was so happy. Yesterday on March 16th, 2022, six weeks later, Terra Nova allegedly noticed that an employee made a mistake when booking and there were already 2 bookings for communion and we were canceled. There was no offer of another solution, there was no apology, there was no type of compensation, NOTHING. This is a huge impudence. We think that the place was simply given to others who are closer to Terra Nova. The excuse is very unbelievable after 6 weeks. We can't find anything new now because after 2 years of Corona everyone is now celebrating communion. Everything is completely booked. We have now had to cancel everyone, everyone is extremely shocked and sad. We adults can put up with it, but I will never forgive you for the way my son feels now, that he is sad and cried because he has been looking forward to this appointment for two years. You died for me. No foot of mine will ever set foot on the soil of Terra Nova again. I'm so mad!!!

Great to have a drink after spending time with family here. They have a good kids menu and a play park outside.

Were there on a Thursday. The food was very good and the price/performance ratio was right. Since we don't come from here, we had a few questions about coal mining. The staff was very friendly and of course answered these questions and stopped us for a quick chat. All in all you can say that a visit is worth it! Nice staff Top price/performance Very nice atmosphere

plenty of parking near i was surprised how good this place was, interesting history good food and beer all serve in good time would go here again

The open pit mine is breathtaking, with a beauty that is barren and of impressive size. It's a windy day and we love the views. We slipped into the cafe and were pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere. Very modern, and the fresh waffles with hot cherries and cream were a perfect match for the beautiful autumn evening. We had a wonderful time, sitting with our friends, chatting, drinking and eating in a relaxed, modern environment.

Great hole and nice restaurant Architecturally very modern with elements made of beautiful concrete

Very good and nice to chill out

Good for a stopover. Nice service, but the price is on the higher end. Still tolerable.

Nice restaurant with a direct view of the opencast mine. Restaurant very modern. The food was delicious. The waitress even brought us a new treasure chest to pick up from the kiddy menu.

The spritzers are great, especially the mint spritzer was a delight. The currywurst and the schnitzel with fries were super tasty. Very tasty with delicious crispy fries. The service was friendly and quick. The coffee was a pleasure. The ambience was good, despite the crowd it wasn't loud. Only the Kaiserschmarrn was so-so (ready from the can).

Good restaurant and bar for after activity.

Unfortunately very bad service! After 20 minutes in the store and apparently no one was able to book anything into the system. Were other customers preferred. There is a sign in the store that says you can get a soft drink with a good Google rating! I would be happy to give one to your staff and explain to you how to treat customers.

Waited forever for the drinks, 3 service staff and 4 occupied tables (almost empty). Food was terrible (tarte flambée Greco = touch of nothing and dusty dry, except for the measly topping. Unfortunately it was also cold.). The accompanying chicken dish was good.

Catastrophe! Were there for Oktoberfest. The live music filled the hall empty and the service was so good that we had to point out to serve the neighboring table... Food was okay, but it won't last long... we got the starter with the main course... The toilets didn't seem cleaned for days...

Super nice place to eat. The employees are very nice and the food arrives quickly.

A very good restaurant right at the Baggerloch. The food was surprisingly good and inexpensive. The staff is extremely open-minded, quick and attentive. That alone made our visit worth it. Keep it up.

Very friendly service! Salad and fries great! Price-performance ratio fits! We'd love to come back.

very friendly service and good food with a great view!

Very tasty food, courteous service. Super satisfied

A spontaneous visit today based on a recommendation and we are very satisfied.

The food is very tasty and the service is friendly and accommodating. You don't have to wait long for food and drinks.

The waitresses are very nice and the service is great :)

Food tastes fantastic and the service is incredibly courteous and nice!

Very nice here. Nice staff and good service. Great food and nice atmosphere. We'd love to come back. Thanks.

A place made to feel good. Special requests never surprise the staff and, at least in my case, they are always fulfilled. Absolutely recommended. 7 out of 5 stars (seriously) And definitely child-friendly (back-to-school party on August 22nd, 2024)

Very nice atmosphere, you can relax under the parasols even on a warm day. I've been there several times for coffee (stay away from iced coffee, it's no good). The food at the surrounding tables also looked good. The sign at the entrance telling you to wait there seems a bit unnecessary as you sometimes stand there for a long time waiting for the staff who are busy with other things. Overall, it seems as if the staffing is quite limited. The waitresses are really very friendly, but unfortunately the waiting times are rather underground. In my opinion, there is still clearly room for improvement here.

Very nice restaurant with a great view, delicious food and very nice service. We would be happy to come back.

Very nice restaurant with a beautiful view

We had a delicious meal yesterday and the service was very friendly. Restaurant near the viewpoint of the lignite mine. Highly recommended!

The takeaway cappuccino was a pleasure to drink

The staff is very nice, the restaurant is modern, unfortunately the immediate area is very dirty and the playground was almost completely cordoned off. Unfortunately, the food was a complete failure for me. The chicken strips were burnt black and could hardly be distinguished from brown coal. The whole stalk was in my salad and the grated cheese was folded in in thick clumps. The court should never have gone out like that. The dishes are all very simple and quick to make, and the dressing didn't seem handmade to me either, which is why these deficiencies are all the more serious.

Very nice staff. Food is delicious :)

Kaiserschmarrn was super tasty 😋 and the portion size was completely sufficient. The service is very friendly and always had a smile on her face.

Very nice location with a view of the opencast mine with a beer garden. Very good for a cycling break with a small snack

We were with you on June 22nd, 24 and what can I say?! It was great again. Due to the changing weather, not all tables outside could be occupied, but one of the nice service staff opened up a group table for us. We were also immediately brought a water bowl for our dogs. Everyone was incredibly friendly again, the food was again incredibly tasty and served quickly. We were also lucky that an open-air event was taking place next door. So we had everything our hearts desired.

Fine food and beautiful ambience 👍🏼

chilled atmosphere and good drinks

very friendly and good selection. TOP!

Very nice, great view, super nice restaurant with high ceilings, modern, delicious food

Ich fände es hier sehr gut ich fande auch die Bedingungen sehr freundlich Ich fande das Schnitzel sehr lecker das beste Schnitzel das ich je hatte

Delicious Lavazza cappuccino and cake 😀

VERY NICE I'LL COME BACK AND THANKS TO THE NICE KELLER YOU WERE GREAT

Nice industrial style restaurant with a great view. Good selection of dishes and good service. Unfortunately, many impatient and unfriendly bicycle tourists.

Very friendly service, the food is delicious too!

Very dry cake. Definitely not worth the price. Even the view can't hide it.

Restaurant is nice and everything is crispy.

Food arrives cold, you wait forever and the tarte flambées are inedible. We are not even asked whether we are satisfied.

We were pleasantly surprised. Nice and above all very fast service. Reasonable prices and sufficient portions. It was very delicious.

A disaster, waiting 15 minutes before you could order drinks, then waiting again until you could order food and then again until the food came. Total waiting time 1 hour. And the waitress didn't come to the table. Like so many people, we ran after the waitress, otherwise we would have waited longer.

The food was good, but we had to wait a long time to be served and there were several mix-ups, such as ketchup instead of mayo, you didn't know which table the food was coming to. Everything was very disorganized and the food didn't taste good anymore. Some of the guests left on their own because there was no service.

The food was excellent - Flammkuchen were really the best things about this place. However, the service by the kitchen was horrible. Forgetting orders, waiting 2 hours for food, confused and unprofessional behavior all around. Maybe it’s new? Maybe it’s because it’s a Sunday? I’m not certain of the reasons, but it’s doesn’t really matter. I would not come again, even for the Flammkuchen. I would recommend for children though - they are running around all over the place.

Unfortunately, the staff is totally understaffed. Accordingly, the service was unfortunately very poor. We waited 15 minutes until someone noticed us and first covered the dishes from the previous guests. We then waited another 20 minutes for the rhubarb spritzer, which was actually just sparkling water, and another 40 minutes for the food. The service is visibly overwhelmed and completely disorganized/unstructured. Unfortunately the tarte flambée for 11 euros was a disappointment. Hardly any crème fraîche and 2 olives and half a cherry tomato on each cut piece. If I hadn't been hungry after all the waiting, I would have returned the tarte flambée. It's better to pack a few sandwiches and enjoy the view without visiting the restaurant. A pity !

Waited a long time for the food... Then the kicker...Probably the smallest schnitzel I've ever eaten. A children's plate is still large... A large schnitzel was ordered and two schnitzels were brought, half the size of a beer mat. A maximum of 150 grams of meat. Well you don't have to go there anymore!!!

Eating very tasty in the sun today :-)

After half an hour we wouldn't even be noticed by the staff and we would have to leave again. That's actually 0 stars

First of all, the purpose of the visit is important. It looked very nice outside, great view. You can order cocktails and the selection of spritzers is extensive. If you're stopping by and sitting down with a cold drink, this is the place to be. I would probably give it 5 stars. However, we went to the restaurant for lunch. This is nice and bright, the furnishings are modern and rather simple. How you like it is a matter of taste. What I noticed were several leftover pieces of food and some smaller pieces of paper on the floor. Nothing bad, even normal after a big group. But at lunchtime shortly after opening with less than 15 guests, I can't honestly say it's "clean and well-kept". The service was consistently friendly. The speed and attention reserved. I had to actively go to the bar to pay. Again, not bad, but not the attribute “attentive” either. Now we come to the crux of the matter: the food. Problem 1: The first desired dish didn't exist. This can always happen with a fresh lunch menu, but that doesn't happen here. I think that this should be available for standard schnitzel, burgers, currywurst and tarte flambée. For starters, I fell into the “homemade” trap. Instead of a nice home-baked bread, which I (honestly, stupidly) hoped for, there were a few small cut slices of a bread, probably baguette with a touch of garlic butter. We also received a salad from which I first had to fish out brown leaves. I do this at home too, but before serving and I expect this to happen beforehand in the restaurant. I can only rate the starter for €6.10 negatively. Afterwards we waited a very long time for the main course. In between, the waiter came and said: “Four more minutes.” At least some information, although not an apology. It seemed longer, but I didn't look at the clock. All I can say is that we were home about 2 hours after arrival (including the return journey). I find that to be a lot of time for a simple lunch. The main course was tarte flambée. With toppings in the middle, it was tasty. However, this area was very small. On the outside, an area of ​​over 1cm on each side didn't even show any cream or anything like that, just dough. Then there was another 2-3 cm area with cream, but without any coating. So a maximum of 70% of the whole thing was covered with any kind of toppings. I then put the garnish on the tarte flambée so that I didn't just eat the dough. I don't understand that. If you add a “free” garnish, you could have cut it and spread it on the tarte flambée. Conclusion: It could have been delicious. The topping made it worse than tarte flambée, which I prepare at home using ready-made plates. Let's move on to the substitute dish currywurst. That was actually the highlight, a normal currywurst, no better or worse than the standard. The fries were good, better than the average diner. The whole thing was very little. Does the substitute currywurst bring the whole meal up to an average 3 star rating? Questionable. If I now take into account the price-performance ratio, definitely not. The portions were below average in size, but by no means cheap. We paid just under 40 euros with two people, which would basically be fine. But we were so hungry that we ordered pizza 3 hours later. That's not what I want at a lunch like this. That was disappointing, we won't be going to the restaurant again. That's why I can, in good conscience, give the restaurant visit no more than 2.5 stars overall.

Overall very nice and the food was good. The portions are quite small for the money, but the taste is very good. Two orders came incorrectly and were exchanged without any problems. Kaiserschmarrn was cold and then warmed up in the microwave. The staff was very friendly and the dog was offered water without asking.

Location near the opencast mine, varied menu, friendly service, possibility for a barrier-free walk,

Solid cuisine, nothing earth-shattering. Waiting times are usually long, but the view is great and the drinks are delicious.

Bearded waiter with a tattoo around his wrist was extremely aggressive, slammed the cards on the table, shouted at his colleagues and kicked boxes around. Definitely won't go back.

The cakes we had were almost inedible, the poppy seed cake was far too dry and the cherry cake tasted very artificial and almost moldy. In addition, the atmosphere is not particularly inviting. Whoever had the idea to make this misogynistic joke was pretty out of step with the times.

Coffee was good, latte ok too. Cocoa not recommended. Unfortunately it was mixed with water instead of milk.

Very nice staff and good food. Also very interesting.

Very nice service, good coffee. Children's menu recommended

So we ate there with 30 people on Christmas Day and were very disappointed, more than disappointed, food cold, side dishes came much later than the main course and the service was absolutely overwhelmed, overall very very disappointed 😞 would not recommend it

Exorbitant price for significantly too little on the plate with goose leg okay but too dry with a small handful of potatoes and some Brussels sprouts. Despite the notice, there were no changes or additions. Garlic bread was whole wheat baguette with a hint of garlic butter. A no go! Salad not quite fresh anymore! I'm leaving there hungry. Toilet was clean. Service was friendly, showed understanding for concerns, but wasn't motivated enough to change anything. Rather reported other complaints from other guests. Sorry, the only thing worth it here is the view. The quality of the food and price performance urgently needs to improve!

Das Forum ist einfach ein viereckiger Betonkasten. Innen reine Betonwände und eine offene Halle. Einfach eigenwillig, für mich zu essen ehr ungemütlich. Ich würde hier ehr einen Techno Club installieren. Das Essen war gut, im Rahmen einer Weihnachtsfeier mit festem Menue. Service sehr gut. Schnell und unkompliziert. Aber der Parkplatz ist eine Katastrophe. Schlecht beleuchtet, matschig und der Weg zum Lokal Abends völlig im Dunkeln. Ich muss da nicht wieder hin........

Zum Essen kann ich leider nichts sagen, dazu kam es nicht weil man uns -trotzdem an einem Samstagabend nur 1 Tisch besetzt war- nicht beachtete, grüßte etc. Die Location ist sehr nett.

Wir haben hier mit 14 Personen sehr lecker zu Mittag gegessen. Der Kontakt zur Reservierung und Vorbestellung war nett und unkompliziert, und das Essen hat sehr gut geschmeckt. Auch der Service war flott und zuvorkommend.

Nachmittags um 14:00 Uhr nur noch ein Stück Kuchen vorhanden. Sehr dürftig!!! Wir waren zu zweit.

Tagebau mit Aussicht, leider konnten wir auch nach 30min warten, weder ein Getränk noch Essen bestellen. Ansonsten die Stoffstühle in der Mitte sind dreckig und fleckig. Das ist schon ekelig 🤢

We kwamen via Google hier terecht als tussenstop. Gaaf uitzicht. Vriendelijke bediening, prima eten. Grote speeltuin erbij waar de kids lekker konden spelen. Een aanrader! Ook heerlijk om buiten te zitten.

Leider von Service her nicht zu empfehlen. Wir mussten ca. 15 Min warten, bis man uns dann „auf einmal“ gesehen hat und uns die Karten gebracht hat. Weitere 10 Min hat es gedauert, bis dann jemand die Bestellungen aufgenommen hat. Es war enorm viel Personal anwesend. Wir haben dann nur etwas getrunken, um weitere Enttäuschungen zu vermeiden.

Wir waren mit einer Gruppe von 26 Personen dort. Obwohl wir angemeldet waren, konnte das überforderte Personal den Service nicht leisten. Es hat 1 Stunde gedauert, bis die letzten der Gruppe das bestellte Getränk erhalten hatte. Von einem Essen haben wir dann frustiert abgesehen. Nie wieder!

Portionen waren gut. Man wurde gut satt. Aber die Nudeln waren schon etwas zu weich und das nackensteak war teils fast roh und teils durch. Preis/Leistung absolut unterirdisch

Un loc liniștit sa vi cu familia.

Essen war nicht so toll. Hinzu kam, dass die halbe Karte nicht zur Verfügung stand.

....super lecker....sehr, sehr gerne wieder!!

Hier gab es mal wirklich tolle Schnitzel, heute nur noch Convinience und kleine Portion, aber das ist nicht das Schlimmste. Für 15 Uhr für 11 Personen reserviert, zumindest das hat geklappt, aber dafür haben wir fast 1,5 Stunden auf das Essen gewartet, während Leute die nach uns gekommen sind Ruck Zuck ihr Essen hatten, nur wir immer noch nicht. Fleisch und Pommes kamen deutlich zeitversetzt, Majo und Ketchup, als die Pommes schon fast gegessen waren und der Salat kam erst nach Aufforderung mit dem falschen Dressing. Das war jetzt definitiv das letzte Mal für mich, da beim letzten Mal auch schon nicht alles rund lief. Sehr schade!

20 min nach Ankunft im Terra Nova hatten wir dann endlich 2 Getränke (Weizen und Malzbier). Diese hatten Zimmertemperatur. Die Bedienung sagte sie hätten ein Problem mit der Kühlung. Hätte man auch direkt sagen können.

Ввічливий персонал , різноманітне меню, чудова атмосфера.

Mann kann gut draußen sitzen. Das Personal ist freundlich und schnell. Kann ich weiterempfehlen

Unterirdischenr Service, sehr lange Wartezeiten, da zu wenig Personal zur Verfügung steht und dieses restlos überfordert ist und scheinbar noch lernt. Außerdem arbeitet dort ein bärtiger, junger Mann mit schlechten Deutschkenntnissen, der über Kundenwünsche lacht und das Wort Service noch nie gehört hat. Absolut unverschämt. Nie wieder!

Sieht eher ungepflegt aus. Bedienung mit offenen langen Haaren,die übers Essen schweben. Nicht mein Ding!

Ein sehr angenehmer. Platz Essen ist gut. Preise Stimmen auch. Und natürlich nette Bedienung
