Franziskaner im Centro in Oberhausen

Very good breakfast buffet. Drinks such as coffee, orange juice, milk included in the price. Cozy, Bavarian atmosphere.

Addendum: After I wrote an email, we were able to resolve the incident calmly. Thank you for the feedback and the opportunity to get to know the store and what it offers again. I would give 5 stars for that! Waited over an hour for the food despite a reservation. The staff reacted unfriendly to the information that a follow-up appointment was coming up and the order had to be canceled, threatening the waiter directly with management. According to the waitress, it's "our own problem if you eat there at 6 p.m. on a Saturday..." it's not possible! It was ultimately done, but customer orientation looks different. Once and never again

Very good food, great service! A bit uncomfortable due to the size.

Nice staff, nice atmosphere, moderate prices.

I was a guest there last week with my son. The toilets weren't particularly inviting. But what annoyed me most was that the cocktail I ordered, for just under 10 euros, was served in an Ikea water glass. For 10 euros I can expect to get a nice cocktail glass with appropriate decorations. Instead, there was a single dried orange slice floating around inside. It looked like it was moving from cocktail to cocktail. I was really shocked. Looking back, I'm annoyed that I didn't say anything to the service team.

The Franziskaner in the Centro is a very nice pub with an appealing atmosphere. The waitress is absolutely amazing, super nice and friendly. Her colleague is also nice and friendly. We were persuaded to have a lunch menu. Liver cheese with egg and fried potatoes is fine, so it only gets four stars. Dessert Kaiserschmarrn was great, the other dishes (see photos) all looked good and tasted perfect.

We were there spontaneously on a Sunday. Food was brought to the table very quickly, to be honest, too quickly... It felt like less than 5 minutes had passed and the food arrived... Well... unfortunately that's what it tasted like... The "lukewarm potato and cucumber salad" was made from the classic ready-made potato salad pot, warmed up in the microwave and then served in a bowl with three small cucumber slices (does it taste like Aro from the metro?)... We also ordered an ONION roast with MALT BEER SAUCE. Unfortunately only one type of STEAK was served with a normal gravy... When I asked where the onions and the malt beer sauce were, a small bowl of onions was handed over... The malt beer sauce was not discussed at all... So to the conclusion... In our opinion, the restaurant only benefits from the good location and the lack of good breweries in the area. We ordered what was supposed to be an onion roast with malt beer sauce, an original veal schnitzel with lukewarm potato, cucumber salad and two 0.3l shandies each and with a two euro tip we got 70 euros!! Paid... We would also have been looking forward to a good dessert, but that wasn't to be expected here... The yeast dumplings looked more like they were served from the freezer (Roling). And for that money... NO THANK YOU!

Delicious food, nice atmosphere!

For years when we shop in Centro we often eat at the Franziskaner. The food remains good and the atmosphere is always pleasant.

Very nice restaurant, cozy, great menu, friendly service, it wasn't the last time there

The location is chic. Unfortunately the food wasn't tasty. We had to wait a long time for new drinks.

I can recommend the breakfast buffet. Price performance top.

It was freezing cold in the restaurant on the first floor and it was drafting like pike soup. The women had a blanket for their legs in the (!) restaurant so that they wouldn't freeze. The food was ok, but nothing more. The quality is not sufficient for the price, hence only 3 stars. The service was great. Nice girl, made a real effort and explained the situation to some extent. We won't be coming back.

Good food in a nice atmosphere. Unfortunately very poorly heated.

Hearty Bavarian-style food - or various burgers at reasonable prices. Good service

Super delicious food. Hearty cuisine

We were there for breakfast on a Saturday. It was very cold. Why isn't the heating turned on in winter?

Yes, unfortunately the heating was broken, but the staff and food were both great and the price for the lunch menu was just as acceptable

This restaurant is highly recommended. Breakfast buffet is great. If you don't get enough here, it's your own fault. I'd love to come back.

Very good restaurant with perfect service.

Visit on January 29, 2025 for breakfast. We didn't have a reservation. Service very friendly. The coffee (also several) is included in the price. The breakfast was delicious; The selection could be richer compared to competitors in the area.

Excellent food and service. Food arrived within 10 minutes of ordering and the server was lovely and friendly. I would recommend their dark beer.

Beautifully designed, nice staff. Just had a drink there.

When we went shopping in the Centro, we had lunch here. We had meat loaf with fried eggs and fried potatoes from the lunch menu. We enjoyed it very much. The price is really acceptable. The service was very nice. We'll definitely come back.

The goulash soup was cold. The roasted onions in beer sauce with fried potatoes had red cabbage that was not mentioned. There was no Haxse because the oven was broken. The only thing that was good was the apple strudel. Ambience and service was good.

After having a very nice day in Centro last Saturday, we had dinner here. We were given a table upstairs, which was fortunately a lot quieter than downstairs, but it seemed as if they had forgotten us every time because it took time before we could do anything. ordering and also when it was served took a very long time. the employee who worked upstairs apparently had a bad day, that's possible, but don't direct that at your customers. we won't be coming back here again.

Frühstück war hervorragend , es wurde zu jeder Zeit nachgefüllt ! Bedienung sehr freundlich und schnell ! Rundum weiter zu empfehlen!!!

It's OK. You have to pay extra for everything. A small handful of salad with the Schnitzel would have made all the difference. Next time go somewhere else.

Food is mediocre, ready meals. Staff is arrogant and unfriendly and apparently do not know the labels. When paying, it turns out that you have to pay a minimum of 5% tip, which in my opinion they do not deserve, when I asked where I could get a 0% tip on the ATM because I was simply not satisfied, he ignored it and waited until I paid the minimum. had clicked. In short, a food shop that wants to make money quickly.

Nice ambience but food really wasn't good

I like it very much. I'll definitely come back.

We only had drinks. But I can only recommend the restaurant and the staff.

Sehr gutes reichhaltiges Buffet und alles frisch und lecker 🤤 Kommen gerne wieder. Netter freundlicher Kellner. Ja

Wir nutzen dort gerne das Frühstücksbuffet. Die Auswahl ist nicht riesig, aber für uns reicht es. Der Kaffee ist im Preis enthalten, sowie Lachs, Würstchen, käse, Ei usw. Die Bedienung -Uschi- ist immer gut gelaunt und charmant. Bei unserem Besuch war die Heizung defekt. Es standen aber Heizlüfter zur Verfügung und wir wurden immer liebevoll gefragt, ob die Temperatur in Ordnung sei. Wir kommen gerne wieder 👍

Everything deserves 5 stars The knuckle was great as was the nice service Everything very cozy inside with a fire Came from Munich in Franciscan

We were invited there for breakfast. The table we ordered was in the middle of the room. It was very loud, the food was okay. There was something fresh and for every taste. To pay you had to find someone from the service department.

Rustic Bavarian restaurant on the promenade in CentrO with the typical menu. Nice and young staff. Free parking nearby. Be sure to reserve for events in the arena.

The food was very, very tasty and the ambience was also very good! Service depended on whose turn it was. Some waiters were great, others not so much. The place was packed and some waiters seemed overwhelmed. Overall, everything was great!

It's getting more and more expensive but still good compared to the others

The service on site was great 👍 and the waitresses were very nice and accommodating. We were given a good seat because my wife is in a wheelchair. Regarding the food, I have to say that it was very good and also in terms of price/performance ratio. The meat was a bit too dry for my wife 😅. The homemade iced tea tasted great. We would love to come back 👍.

Food was good but the place was very crowded and therefore noisy. [Advent season]

Preis Leistung stimmt und alle Speisen waren spitze

Sehr leckeres,reichhaltiges Frühstück zum angemessenen Preis

The staff is very attentive. The atmosphere is cozy and rustic. The food was very tasty. When I'm in Oberhausen, I like to come back here

After a Christmas stroll, the supposed Alpine kitchen looked very inviting. When you stop at the Centro Promenade, you expect system catering and convenience products. Unfortunately, despite these low expectations, the disappointment was great: The quality of the food is underground. A thick skin covered roast pork, what were supposed to be bread dumplings and my wife's cheese spaetzle. The food was bland and poorly seasoned. I've eaten badly a lot of times. But this is the current low point of what you get in German restaurants. Even the beer was stale and almost non-carbonated. It's shocking that there are actually people who can see something positive from this. Apart from the ambience.

We tested the breakfast buffet at the Franziskaner for 16.90 euros and were very satisfied. Price-performance ratio is right here, but the Alpine breakfast on Sundays and public holidays seems a bit expensive to us based only on the menu. Even without a reservation, we luckily managed to get a spot on a Saturday, but a reservation is still recommended as it was really very full. An identical buffet was set up on both levels, drinks are also included. The filter coffee was ok, but there are no other coffee specialties.

Have eaten there many times and the quality is always great and the staff is always super friendly. The only thing I think is that the portions have become smaller!

I would like to give 0 stars. A pleasant atmosphere but with disgusting staff. People without any politeness. They don't know how to deal with customers.

I would like to give 0 Stars if it was possible.. The Servis was terrible.. second time on a row that the “Blonde Lady with Tattoo” didn’t allow us to seat simply because we wanted to drink smth and not to eat (it was 9Am) In her words “- If you want to drink smth you can go to Horsthemke”.

Lokal war voll besetzt - die sehr netten Herren im Service, haben trotzdem ganz ruhig und souverän gearbeitet - toll! Essen war gut, wir würden wiederkommen.

Very friendly staff. The food is good and worth the price. You pay more than in the "Cola Oasis" in the Centro, but you have a nicer ambience, peace and space while eating.

Delicious and sufficient breakfast. There's something for everyone. There's even sparkling wine. Friendly service who also cleared away used plates very quickly. The only drawback: it was cold in the rooms. We were freezing.

The price and quality of brunch on a Sunday are absolutely ok. It's just a shame that hot chocolate (which child drinks cold chocolate in winter?) costs extra. It was also very cold in the restaurant and therefore uncomfortable. In order to be able to take fried potatoes out of the pan, you would need a second person to hold the lid. Therefore only two stars for the ambience. There is still a lot of room for improvement.

The staff is always very friendly. For brunch there are as many drinks and coffee as you want.

Service und Essen super ! Allerdings haben wir alle gefroren Ansonsten waren wir sehr zufrieden

Perfect restaurant to finish a day at centro Christmas market Oberhausen. Traditional German cuisine at affordable rates

We went to the Franziskaner for the first time (breakfast buffet). Unfortunately we were very disappointed. It was very cold inside, probably because the heating system couldn't keep up with outside temperatures in the minus range. There were even people wearing thick jackets eating. It was also very dark inside, but the biggest negative point was the food. The area was very small and narrow, so there was hardly any space to eat. There was hardly any choice and the food was so high that children couldn't help themselves. We won't be coming back again.

Leider war es diesmal sehr kalt im Restaurant so dass ein gemütlicher Vormittag mit Frühstück nicht angenehm war.... Da ich normalen Kaffee nicht mehr vertragen, hat mir dieses Mal koffeinfreier gefehlt

The atmosphere itself is cozy and the service is friendly. But charging EUR 1 each for ketchup and mayo (and not being informed in advance) is quite cheeky when you get a soup that is marked with bread on the menu, comes without bread and is only told that it's out when you ask. Schnitzel is served carelessly, without any side dishes. The restaurant itself has great potential but lacks an understanding of hospitality.

-Brötchen teilweise sehr hart -kaum Kontakt mit Service zwecks fragen was anderes trinken etc. - Wenig Käseauswahl

Essen war sehr lecker 😋 und die Bedienung mega 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Very nice restaurant, good food and large portions. This is the third time we've eaten there and it's always good.

Small tip, the toilets should be cleaned more often, towel paper was already on the floor.

Trotz großer Auslastung top Service, Frühstück wie immer reichlich und gut

Ich war heute zum ersten Mal im Franziskaner mit meiner Mutter. Wir wurden an den Tisch gesetzt, und leider war uns das Konzept nicht bekannt. Niemand kam an unseren Tisch und hat uns erklärt, wie das Buffet Frühstück funktioniert. Viel zu wenig Platz am Buffet. Es gab großes Gedränge, und man stand sich quasi auf den Füßen. Leider auch zu wenig Auswahl für den Preis.

The price-performance ratio is not given. Schnitzel prices are record breaking.

Nice typical German restaurant, with good dishes! Near CentrO lovely way to end tour day of shopping!

We reserved a table for the breakfast buffet and can't complain about anything! Friendly reception, good seating, ambience also OK, toilets clean!! Coffee and various juices, mineral water and the buffet actually offers everything you need for breakfast for the price (€16.90), from scrambled eggs with bacon to small sausages to various types of bread and rolls and plenty of toppings such as cheese, sausage, salmon etc. etc.!! It was our first time there and definitely not the last time!! We hope that they will and can maintain this standard and not become as bad as in the Restaurant König a few meters away!! Kind regards, Christof

Uns hat es sehr gut gefallen. Das Essen war frisch zubereitet, es wurde alles schnell nachgelegt. Es gab leckere, frische Backwaren. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder.

Definitiv ein Besuch wert Jedes Jahr wenn wir zum Weihnachtsmarkt oberhausen fahren, enden wir im Franziskaner. Können es nur weiterempfehlen

We ate there and one of us suffered from it afterwards. Portions are okay. The layout of the plates is also okay.

Had a coffee and a small beer. Paid 10 euros for this and when paying they ask you if you want to pay a tip. Once and never again. It's outrageous that they ask that.

It's a shame, the food and service drag down what is actually a nice restaurant. Ready-made schnitzel, wings that were too dark (some people would have sent them back). People preferred to fool around with each other instead of serving customers.

Great food, good atmosphere, good service...

So far we have only used the breakfast buffet several times. The price-performance ratio is absolutely right. It was important to us that coffee was included in the price. The service staff is extremely courteous and always has a smile on their face. We like to come here for breakfast.

We've been there several times, it's always worth a visit.

Cozy restaurant with hearty food. Make sure to make a reservation during the Christmas market. Very friendly and fast service. We ate a delicious schnitzel.

We just had a drink there. The lady from the service didn't think it was that great. Although there were enough free tables for two. Otherwise, good plain Bavarian cuisine. Very spacious as the first floor also offers nice seating. Toilet is on the 1st floor, a bit unfortunate

If you have not reserved, you will be pressed afterwards. We only came there for a drink. After 10 minutes someone came to take the order. Which was only delivered after 10 minutes. So if you are thirsty you shouldn't be there.

Very busy because of the Christmas market. Nice people. Generous portions for drinks and food.

The coffee ☕️ doesn't work at all, it just doesn't taste like coffee, and it's still lukewarm.

There were five of us and we just wanted something to drink. Nope, we were sent away. Let's be honest, they don't seem to depend on guests. You definitely don't treat them like that!!! Never again

Personal sehr freundlich, Speisen waren gut und alle 7 essen kamen gleichzeitig,auf Nachfrage ob man die Musik etwas leiser machen könnte wurde sofort reagiert 👍

Ich bin mit meinen Freunden seit Jahren Stammgast. Das Frühstück hat in der Qualität und Angebot sehr nachgelassen. Wir sind sehr enttäuscht.

Preis Leistung wirklich gut, für gute Esser wurde noch Was kleines nachbestellt

Nice breakfast buffet for a fair price. €16.90 for food, juices and filter coffee as a flat rate in the buffet. It is advisable to reserve. Good selection - I personally would have liked more sauces as well as Nutella or some kind of nut nougat cream. But everything is fine. Service was friendly and nice. However, a little slower when it comes to clearing the tables. But with only one service person absolutely understandable.

Supernette Bedienung. Hatte alle Hände voll zu tun und war trotzdem sehr freundlich und gelassen.

Das Frühstücksbuffet ist sehr, sehr gut. Preis und Leistung stimmen.

Very bad. We stood at the entrance where we were asked to wait for a while without anyone in sight. After we sat down in a rather empty restaurant we were told in a rather unfriendly manner that there was no room, never again! Now sitting with the neighbors, we have been warmly welcomed

Waited over 2 hours for food and yet one dish was forgotten. And taste-wise a disaster. Service was super friendly

For the money, I actually expected more. Baked rolls...and nothing else special. But the restaurant is very cozy.

There was nothing going on upstairs yet, but we still waited a long time for drinks. The food even came before the drinks. The side salads were forgotten. The portion of Bavarian onion roast was very poor for €28 and it wasn't traditionally prepared in Bavaria either. Our criticism was answered with a “Yeah” by the young lady who served us. According to the motto "I'm not interested". We haven't experienced that yet... We wouldn't come here to eat again.

Sehr schönes Ambiente. Leckeres Frühstück. Warmes und kaltes Frühstück

Gutes Frühstücksbuffet in schönem Rahmen mit unterirdischem Service! Das Unternehmen muss unbedingt etwas tun, um sich diesbezüglich zu verbessern! Rauer Umgangston, Unfreundlichkeit. Getränke nie nachgelegt, schmutziges Geschirr fast nie abgeräumt, da performt jedes Hotelbuffet weit besser.

We were there for brunch today. Conclusion: very disappointing. Hot water for tea only came when we asked and we were initially told that it was there (which wasn't the case). From a tea drinker's point of view, it was the worst, although there are now also very good ones in bags. Scrambled egg was cold. White sausages too. Very poor selection of sausages. Buns very dry. Kaiserschmarrn was supposed to be available from 11 - but it wasn't until later. Unfortunately, this was not recommended either. Dry, not fluffy. We expect something different from the prices that are quoted. Very unfortunate. Friendliness of the staff: When you were looking for a container for the table rubbish, you were shat on when you tried to take a cup. Can you actually communicate differently? Guest King? Unfortunately not like that.

Wir waren sehr zufrieden mit Essen und Service und waren alle sehr nett

Extremely rude staff, told us to get out of their restaurant since we were just wanted drinks and some fries. There’s plenty other restaurants in the area with nicer service and food.

Simply outrageous. We were told by the waitress we could choose a table from the free ones. We took the bigger one. A waiter then came and said in a rude tone that our table was reserved and he didn't believe the waitress meant our table. We then left. This is how you scare away guests.

We're going to the Christmas market on a Thursday evening. Of course it was very full and we were lucky to get a table at the entrance. Afterwards we also knew why... Despite the double doors, these two were always open and or when you pushed them out, they stayed open and there was a draft like pike soup. It felt like we closed the second door 20 times. Tip to everyone only sit at the front in summer otherwise go further into the restaurant if there is space.

Very cozy there, the wood look invites you to linger.
