Gasthaus Bönt in Ratingen

Food quite good - service… I've never experienced anything like that! First of all: The food was quite tasty. At, for example, 26.90 euros for a cordon bleu and 16.90 euros for 3 grated cookies with salmon, it is also relatively expensive. As far as the service is concerned, what happened to us here is outrageous. A single unfriendly person managed to ruin the cozy end to a beautiful day of hiking! We had registered with a group of 9 people and then found ourselves in the restaurant. That meant a turnover of around 250 euros. The orders were taken - including 2 x tagliatelle with spinach (price 11.70 euros). The condition even came back and repeated the orders because she had forgotten a dish. When the food came, the people who ordered the pasta noticed that there were shrimps or prawns in the dish (price 18.90 euros). The waitress was called and made aware of the error. But instead of apologizing, the guests were barked at why they were ordering what they didn't want to eat. That wasn't correct! Pasta with spinach was ordered and not with prawns. After some explanations and back and forth the condition then said: “Then just eat this now and I will pay the difference”. So we started eating. After a few minutes the waitress came back and insulted the guests again! Why would you eat something you don't WANT TO PAY for... We were just able to ignore that with a shrug of the shoulders. After everyone had eaten, she came back to our table and shouted about how impossible it was for you to eat something you didn't want to pay for. Followed by more insults.  Of course we all wanted to pay, but only what we ordered. The people had agreed to eat the dish that was brought incorrectly and did not insist on preparing the dish they had ordered. The group then broke up and we left the “STORE”. The mood was at its lowest point and no one felt like staying longer than absolutely necessary! We will never see this establishment again and we will discourage anyone who will listen from coming here. They don't understand customer friendliness here!

Regarding Pönt, it can be said that places like this are unfortunately slowly dying out. The cooking here is home-style and properly cooked. The owner also often offers Polish dishes off the menu. The waitress has everything well under control and works in a very structured manner. She is a bit rough at the beginning, but after a few visits you really fall in love with her. The food tastes great there!

Nice thing. Came by with the truck. However, not much parking on the industrial estate behind it.

As always, dinner at Mrs. Eli's was great. From the very entrance you can feel a nice atmosphere. The owner always finds time for her guests. Food 10/10. It's always nice to come back here when we're on a business trip. P.S. Kisses and thanks to the chefs. Wie immer war das Abendessen bei Frau Ela großartig. Schon vom Eingang an spürt man eine angenehme Atmosphäre. Die Besitzerin findet immer Zeit für ihre Gäste. Essen 10/10. Es ist immer schön, hierher zurückzukehren, wenn wir auf einer Geschäftsreise sind. P.S. Küsse und Dank an die Köche.

A small restaurant in Ratingen with a lot of charm. It's very family-like here. The atmosphere is rustic and cozy. The food was very tasty but a little lacking in my opinion. For the slightly higher price, there can be a little more on the plate. The quality is very good. I also found the 0.1 Cola glasses funny (see photo with the 0.2 Cola bottle). The staff is attentive and very friendly. You feel welcome. All in all a good tip if you are in Ratingen.

All the food was delicious, we always like to come here and feel very comfortable.

We went there for the first time today and it was really tasty. The service was very friendly and attentive, our children were absolutely welcome and the food was freshly prepared and served really quickly.

Recommend Hotel Mercure, were VERY SATISFIED

Very good food, nice staff. Advised!

Very nice ambience inside an old half-timbered house. Goose breast eaten in advance - delicious. I didn't know the version with baked apple. A second visit there was delicious again - crispy fried potatoes with medallion with chanterelles!

Great spot hidden under the shadow of a McDonald's. When I heard the cook hammering in the kitchen as if they were building a new deck and knew I was getting somthing good!!!

Very comfortable and extremely pleasant service

We stayed at the hotel across the street overnight and wanted to get something quick to eat. We can only recommend the inn, the food is delicious and the boss is very friendly. The ambience is not the high-class house, but it doesn't need to be. Everything fits together there. We'll come back if we're nearby.

Very nice restaurant, food was great. Hostess very nice, can only be recommended

We were very happy with the selection and the season menu (chanterelles) was also great. The service staff are very friendly and polite and overall it was a very relaxing stay.

Delicious, home-style cuisine, friendly service, rustic furnishings, a small beer garden and foxes on tap 😋

Good home cooking is highly recommended

The food was very tasteful, well balanced with spices and spiciness. The staff and also the boss (Ella) were very friendly. Felt very comfortable in a very well-kept and old house.

Very cozy but the food we chose online wasn't on the menu.

We went to the Gasthaus Pönt several times for dinner. We really enjoyed it again. The food was very good and the portions were plentiful. It took about 40 minutes from the time we ordered until the freshly prepared dish was served to us. Very nice service was present. We can definitely recommend the inn and will come back to eat there again.

We were there again for the first time yesterday. That was a really successful evening. Excellent food. Super seasoned, just great. Definitely worth a visit. 5 out of 5 stars. We will be back!

Top location, not visible from the outside but perfect atmosphere inside. Food perfect. Beer perfect. Service great too! Recommended for everyone! Beer garden included 👍🏼

Nothing special from the outside, but really good cuisine! All fresh ingredients and everything is well crafted. Very tasty schnitzel and salad. We will be back!

Very tasty and always worth a trip.

Finally ate a great pan-fried schnitzel in a restaurant again. We recommend.

A very hospitable house, fantastic cuisine, very friendly and good service, cozy atmosphere. Pönt has become our second living room.

The Pönt used to be worth it but not anymore!!!!

Rustic restaurant with good food.

We had the Viennese veal schnitzel with fries. Delicious. Reservations are mandatory

Super tasty and super friendly. I like to eat there regularly. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A classic inn - right on the A3 - definitely a better rest stop than the standard Autohof. Fresh schnitzel that is still being made in the kitchen. Fresh salad good service Fair prices

Even though the place was already empty and the kitchen was already closed, Mrs. Ela, when she heard that there were Poles, offered us beef goulash. She saved our empty and hungry bellies. Plus delicious dark beer from the tap. Great service I recommend.

Catastrophic service, poorly polite... food level not great... avoid!

Quality cuisine and dishes, too bad the service is not of the same level. Reception and catastrophic service, Attention, credit card payment at 25€ minimum.

It was tasty and cozy and served quickly

A fantastic place. The owner is wonderful. Food fantastic.

I would say it works like this. Food without taste

It was our first time there and we were very pleasantly surprised

Sehr gutes Restaurant, bürgerlich, rustikal, klein und gut. Das Essen ist sehr gut und nicht wenig

Tolles und sehr freundliches Restaurant mit kleinem Biergarten im Sommer. Essen ist sehr lecker und hausgemacht. Der Sevice ist stets freundlich und zügig.

Rustikal und gut. Kleine Speisekarte aber auch voll ausreichend. Sehr gute Portionsgröße. Kartenzahlung möglich.

Hervorragende Qualität, toller Service, Selten einen so guten Senfrostbraten gegessen. Frisch zubereiteten Apfelpfannkuchen als Dessert.

10 aus 10 Punkte ! Komm gerne wieder an Tisch 13 (-;

Wie immer ist das Personal hier super lieb und erfüllt einem jeden Wunsch. Wir kommen gerne jedes Jahr hierher, wenn wir auf der Messe Düsseldorf sind und freuen uns schon auf nächstes Jahr.

Eine ehrliche Küche - es schmeckt einfach lecker ! Sonderwünsche außerhalb der Karte, werden wenn möglich, gerne erfüllt 😋👌Ein gemütlicher Biergarten lädt zum Verweilen ein ‼️

Sehr gute bürgerliche Küche in sehr netten Ambiente (auch mit Biergarten). Dazu sehr freundliche Inhaberin und nettes Personal. Dazu moderate Preise.

Muy buen sitio para comer, somos españoles que pasábamos por aquí y para repetir muy buena atención.

Sehr uhriges Gasthaus. Ruhige Lage. Nette Bedienung. Kann ich nur empfehlen.

Sehr schmackhaftes Essen und zuvorkommendes Service. Jederzeit gerne wieder.

Very good traditional restaurant, the food were very good, the place is really nice. Sorry that nobody speak English or French, even the menu were in German only, and no wifi to use google😂🤣

I was staying at the hotel next to the restaurant, so I visited them in one of the afternoons. The service was not the quickest, as it was really busy, but was very friendly. The food was great and the drinks too. The place itself and the atmosphere were nice too.

Wir haben uns dort mit vier Leuten zur Urlaubsbesprechung dort getroffen und waren nach 2,5h vor Ort einig. Nie wieder! Der Service ist sehr bescheiden und man hat das Gefühl sich bei jeder Bestellung entschuldigen zu müssen. Beim Zahlen bekommt man das Wechselgeld schön klein damit beim Kassensturz nicht so viel zu zählen ist.

Китно заведение с вкусна кухня, но обслужването не е на ниво!

Sehr nettes Personal und gutes Essen aus der Region

Kleines Restaurant am Autobahn in Ratingen. Speisekarte hat nicht viele Gerichte. Allerdings war mein Abendessen ausreichend.

sehr gute „Gut Bürgerliche“ Küche mit einem sehr hohen frische Anteil und tollen saisonalen Food Angebot. Service ist sehr bemüht und freundlich.

Sehr liebes Personal, schnell an den Platz zugewiesen auch ohne Reservierung. Gerne wieder ;) der Pönt Burger ist zu empfehlen.

Gut bürgerliche Küche. Sehr nette Chefin, welche uns immer alle Wünsche erfüllt.

Essen ist rustikal, klassisch aber Lecker. Gut Bürgerlich

Kleines, gemütliches Restaurant. Sehr leckere Küche. Nette und zuvorkommend Bedienung.

Es war wieder sehr schön und es hat sehr gut geschmeckt Spargel mit Kalbfleisch
