Gecco Gasthouse in Nordhorn

I visited Gecco for the third time yesterday to celebrate my little brother's birthday and I finally have to write a review for this fantastic restaurant. The atmosphere is stylish and cozy at the same time. The menu is diverse, with a creative selection of vegetarian dishes! Both the drinks and the food have consistently impressed me with their deliciousness. But what I especially want to highlight is the excellent service. The waitress who served us did an outstanding job! She was attentive, quick, friendly, and always gave us great advice. I have rarely experienced such good service. Thank you so much, we'll definitely be back! :)

I always love coming back to Gecco! The food is delicious and varied. There's always something new on the menu. It's so much fun here, and the service is always friendly. 10 out of 10!

There were four of us there in the evening. Every square meter of space was used; the seating was very cramped, and yet we could barely hear each other. The service was very friendly. The price-performance ratio was absolutely outrageous. The appetizer: eight small half-slices of bread, two packets of butter, and a few olives for €8.50, plus tasteless chips, four pepperoni, and a few slices of ham for over €13. The burgers were okay, nothing special. The side dish was an extra €6.50; the potato slices tasted of nothing and seemed to have been fried three times. The dessert prices were also far too high for what was essentially a cookie. Tasty, but not worth the price. Drinks could only be ordered via several QR codes. Annoying if you just want to put your phone away for an evening. All in all, it was okay, but not worth a return visit.

I only visited the winter village briefly and had a mulled wine or two, but the atmosphere was absolutely wonderful. We'll definitely come back for a meal sometime.

Last weekend, I went there for dinner with former colleagues and for a moment I wasn't sure if I'd accidentally ended up in Munich… The ambiance and service were impeccable, but the price/performance ratio didn't really add up, despite the central location in Nordhorn. A colleague and I ordered the surf and turf for a hefty €46, and what we received was a small beef fillet and three prawns that were truly nothing special… Not mentioning the weight of this dish on the menu was obviously clever, as we wouldn't have ordered it otherwise. In conclusion: It was actually a nice evening, but it's a shame that for around €60 (including the appetizer) you don't even come close to feeling full.

Highly recommended, good food and a nice atmosphere.

Highly recommended. For a beer or a meal with nice people, by far the first choice in Nordhorn!

Sometimes you stumble upon a place by chance. And that's what it is: the incredibly hospitable service, with tips, humor, and attentiveness. The atmosphere, the location, everything was perfect, and don't forget to order the steak...you won't find anything better. Trust me.

We had a drink and snack. Beautiful place to visit after a day in the city. Nice view on the beautiful garden. Very friendly people.

Outstanding selection of delicious and varied dishes! Great ambiance and super friendly service. A fantastic experience! :)

The food was fantastic. The kitchen staff are truly artists. The service staff is competent, friendly, and extremely attentive. We were there a second time within a week. It was fantastic again. The whiskey sour was outstanding. I was able to watch the kitchen staff at work on the second evening. It was so organized and calm, despite the amount of food.

We really enjoyed it; friendly, good service, very tasty food, and exceptional dishes, desserts, cocktails, and lemonades.

The restaurant's ambiance is truly top-notch. The seating is very pleasant and you can really enjoy the city park. What really matters to me, however, is the value for money. The food isn't exactly flawless, and the portions aren't particularly large, and the price is quite high. Especially with children, it's quite difficult to find something the kids like and at a reasonable price. We were quite disappointed. What I do find a shame is that the side dishes for the burger cost extra. The side dish itself was quite expensive.

Third time I've been here. Always so good. Very pleasant atmosphere. The staff is very helpful and friendly. The terrace is very pleasant at the end of August, even in the evening. Fully integrated into the park, just perfect.

The ambiance is unbeatable, especially when the weather is great on the terrace, you feel like you're on vacation. The service was good, and the waitresses were friendly. The food was very tasty, but unfortunately not really hot—more like microwaved. The portions were just manageable.

We were disappointed at our favorite restaurant (where we are regulars). The cocktails were served quickly. We wanted to order appetizers. No one came to our table to ask if we wanted anything else. My husband and I sat there with empty glasses for about 15 minutes. Then we decided to leave and try another restaurant on Friday night. Would I visit your restaurant again now? I might look for other options. Service 08/15/2025 - Rating 0.

I ate a hamburger there. It tasted very good, and the portion was decent.

I was there last night (Saturday) with a friend, and the service was really friendly and excellent. The staff was very nice and the food was incredibly delicious. We really enjoyed it and will definitely be back.

A nice place with a small parking lot. I had a Franz-Jozef grill counter. The pork was very dry and tasteless. The steaks were way overcooked. The vegetables and potatoes were fine. The chicken was tasty. All in all, way too expensive for what you get. It was "okay." I'm unlikely to go back.

Everything was top-notch, friendly service. Highly recommended, and good food :)

Four of us reserved a table this weekend. Despite the busy schedule, the service was very friendly and attentive. The food was truly delicious, and the portions were generous. Afterwards, we enjoyed a few drinks. We had a wonderful evening, thank you so much!

There's a huge selection of beers, and that really makes me happy. I'd love to come back and try something new.

Overcooked noodles were drowned in a mushy sauce with a disgusting taste of instant powder. The chanterelles didn't stand a chance. Unfortunately, we ate a third of it anyway, which left my sister and me with extremely upset stomachs. Never again. The place is also loud and crowded. Even the friendly service couldn't change that.

Very nice, very tasty. Everything was top-notch.

Good restaurant, very nice staff 😋👍

Good food. Lovely place. We sat outside in good weather. Lovely friendly staff. A bit on the expensive side

A very delicious meal with excellent service and a truly beautiful setting. Overall, I highly recommend it. I'd like to say to the previous speakers that tastes differ, of course, but the prices are well calculated and certainly not excessive; those of us who work for employers will certainly understand that. I'm glad for every restaurant that exists.

Great place with a terrace that leads directly into a park. Very attentive staff, great food, and a pleasant, quiet atmosphere on the terrace.

The price-performance ratio here is completely out of whack. A burger, with a flabby bun, quite modest, costs 14 euros, a side of potatoes is another 6.50, and a glass of 0.4 liter lemonade costs 6.90. You're also paying for the beautiful location in the city park.

Ox Knolle was nice and hearty, forgot to take pictures of other dishes. In general, food menu consisted of many international dishes, yet none of the many dishes we ordered dissapointed.

A few facts about the visit: Lipstick on the rim of two glasses Card with a dead small animal in it Meat was significantly too raw Bread very dry Herb butter very hard Delivery and service nothing to write home about Just the price for what you get, okay

Delicious tacos and vegetarian thai curry! Super nice, had the table set up as birthday surprise for my husband. They charged my phone for me also. Also had selection on the menu for kids. Playground outside for kids to play while waiting for food. Very nice experience.

A great experience, asparagus with tuna mayo...sooooo delicious

It's always very cozy with you and, of course, delicious! We'd love to come back 😃

Tasty food, deliciuos lemonade, beautiful place inside, high level service :)

Nice here, eaten well and a lot, very expensive.

Het was lekker maar kleine porties. Wel een heel mooie setting in het park . Ik heb chicken alfredo gegeten, tagliatelle met kip in roomsaus. Mijn man andere spaghetti met scampi met look, de pasta was nog hard. Bediening heel vriendelijk en vlug bediend

Food and service very good, only the table in front of the counter. Background noise not so optimal!

Everything was very good, from the food to the service and everything around it. The terrace hadn't been set up yet because of the freezing temperatures, there were only a few smokers but if the weather was nice I think you could sit there nicely in the evening. The name of the restaurant corresponds to the design of the restaurant. That was my meal: steak strips with pasta in a truffle cream sauce and buffalo mozzarella.

Beautiful restaurant with great food 😊

Tokyo Beef Sando is simply top - absolute recommendation

Delicious food. Recommended if you are in the area. Tasty wines!

10.90 for three slices of bread was outrageous. The asparagus were not cooked and cracked like an apple in your mouth

Four of us ate at Gecco. There is nothing to complain about in terms of service and ambience. One of the best locations that Nordhorn has to offer, especially in summer, especially for sitting outside. Now to eat. That wasn't exhilarating. So starters there was bread vs butter. The bread tasted old and was very tough (it would have been better to put it back in the oven or something), the butter was too hard (wait 5 minutes, then it worked) so the main course was Chicken Alfredo, the taste was okay. The noodles were only lukewarm and the chicken was very dry. The portion for this price (€22) is far too small. Next time I'll probably eat somewhere else beforehand and just enjoy the drinks at Gecco.

After years, unfortunately a star is deducted for the price-performance ratio that has gotten out of hand. Very expensive these days and portions are getting smaller and smaller. But since I'm not alone with this perception, and I hear it almost every time from friends and acquaintances, I actually have to ask myself whether we might want to avoid it in the future. Too bad. The ambience is great and the food is delicious. But cheap, filling side dishes such as a few more fries or a few slices of baguette should not become a luxury item.

Service top, geschmacklich gut. Aber wegen der offenen Küche war zu erkennen , dass sämtliche Speisen eingefroren waren und nur im Konvektomaten aufgewärmt wurden. Also gar nichts wurde frisch zubereitet… Dann brauche ich nicht essen zu gehen…

Finally a restaurant that makes you completely happy! We're still fairly recent movers and tried out a few restaurants and were mostly disappointed. The four of us were at Gecco last night: imaginative menu! Drinks menu extensive, aperitif great, cocktails varied and a good selection of wines. My husband had a Corona on tap and was super satisfied. Service friendly and competent! The starter bread was delicious and fresh. All 4 main courses were on point and very tasty! For dessert my son had to fight with the tiramisu, divine and took the rest home. Here you can enjoy a nice atmosphere, i.e. the location with outside area is very good! We can highly recommend Gecco!

From the moment you enter the restaurant you are on a culinary journey, the service is courteous and caring but not intrusive in any way. The food, from the bread as a starter to the main course and dessert, is simply fantastic! The selection of drinks and the wine list are more than plentiful and unusual and everyone will find something that suits their taste. I will come back here as often as possible because this restaurant was completely convincing from A to Z.

Great service and deliciously prepared food

I had dinner at Gecco yesterday and unfortunately I have to say it has gone down a lot. The prices were high which is ok if the food was perfect. As a starter I had house bread with French sea salt butter. The bread was dry and tasted old. The sea salt butter was very hard and packed. I had the starter returned for a good €10, extremely expensive and not tasty. For the main course I had 5 wild-caught shrimps for 24€ and again the extremely dry bread (one slice), plus there were two mini bowls of dip and mango chutney. The shrimp were good but nothing special. If I had ordered the dish maybe three times, I might have been able to get enough. I suggested to the waitress that we could have the dish written down as a starter, but the nice criticism wasn't well received. For some it's enough and for some it's not the answer. I was eating with three other people. Everyone wasn't happy. We won't eat there again.

Very, very tasty food and high quality. It's not cheap and the portions aren't generous. You have to want to afford good food.

A nice restaurant. Tasty food and nice staff.

We often go to Gecco and have been satisfied every time - from fish to various pasta dishes to burgers. Gecco also offers an excellent cocktail and aperitif menu.

Sehr schönes Restaurant in Innenstadtlage und damit sehr gut zu erreichen. Sehr netter Empfang und Betreuung, Essen und Getränke alles top. Sehr schön der Aussenbereich mit gläsernen Iglus.

Very nice restaurant, with good food and super nice service.

First of all I would like to praise the service. Rarely have I seen such a nice and courteous waitress. The food was also very tasty. The journey from Gronau is definitely worth it. We'd love to come back.

The food is delicious, the service is very nice, the place is very chic but a bit dark. BUT the kitchen closes at 9pm on Saturday night…..? !? If you come late, you won't get dessert🤬

Very nice atmospheric restaurant! Simply delicious, nice service and high quality!

Super tasty food, very nice ambience and fast service. That's exactly how it has to be :)

Das Essen ist überteuert. Ansonsten ist es sehr zu empfehlen.

Restaurant Gecco was very disappointing. First received a wrong menu, then a menu with other dishes (B choice?). We had a package. The food was bland (tasteless) and very greasy (snitzel and potatoes). Dessert was basic. We mentioned this but were only told she was sorry (es tut mir leid). We are quite easy with food, but this food was really not okay, as was the reaction we received. Very disappointing.

Meine „Pommes“ waren eher wie Chips. Habe dies angemerkt und mir wurden neue angeboten. Das wollte ich nicht, weil ich satt war und sie haben den Betrag storniert und mir erlassen. Toll

The quality of the food decreases and the price increases.

Wir waren mit 3 Generation als Gast im Restaurant. Das Essen war wirklich hervorragend, und wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Der Service war sehr gut. Sonderwünsche von den Kindern wurden perfekt gelöst. Danke für den tollen Abend.

Restaurant Gemütlich…Bedienung super nett und aufgeschlossen…Essen war sehr interessant im Geschmack…Nachspeise Top und draußen tolle Idee…rundum zufrieden. Zu Empfehlen 🫶🏻

Ich bin begeistert von diesem Restaurant, mein dritter Besuch und es wird nicht der letzte sein. Herrliches Essen und tolle Biere die ich so noch nicht getrunken habe.

We were there for the Christmas market and had reserved a hut. Everything - processing, organization, food, drinks and the well-being of the customers - was carried out to the utmost satisfaction. There were heat lamps and blankets for the legs to combat the cold. The staff is competent, quick, friendly and takes care of the guests.

Food was fine. What we found particularly annoying, however, was that we only had a maximum of 2 hours for the meal. If we could order quickly and food was on the table, á la. But that took almost an hour! In addition, the waitress made it clear to us in a rather unfriendly manner that we had to leave because the next guests would almost be there. Nice thing; good food; but because of the above we would rather choose another restaurant.

Super nette Bedienung. Schönes Lokal. Essen sehr , sehr lecker, dürften nur etwas größere Portionen sein. Daumen hoch 👍👍👍 können wir nur weiter empfehlen.

We were there for the Christmas market. The food that was served outside (small menu) was cold and overpriced. After criticism, the baguettes were warmed up again, but firstly one was missing and the consistency of the bread was poor. 5 euros for a mulled wine is also very expensive. The extremely nice staff cannot be blamed. So we went back to the Christmas market very dissatisfied and won't be coming back next year. We felt really left out because of the high prices and subpar food.

Ich hatte nicht gelesen, dass die Reservierung nur für 2 Stunden war, was beim Betreten auf sehr unangenehme Weise mitgeteilt wurde. Am Tisch mussten wir fast 30 Minuten warten, bis die Bestellung entgegengenommen wurde. 15 Minuten vor dem Ende der Reservierung wurden wir gebeten, zu bezahlen und zu gehen, da die nächste Gruppe dort ankam. Wenn Sie einen Tisch für 2 Stunden reservieren, stellen Sie sicher, dass die Gäste schnell bestellen können, und lassen Sie sie die Zeit genießen, anstatt Ihre Gäste zu vertreiben. Sehr enttäuschend!

WOW was für eine Gastronomie, die kann sich sehen lassen, super Stimmung. Essen und Getränke Top und das Perisnal 1A. Komme gerne wieder wenn ich mal in der Nähe bin. Gruß aus dem Sauerland. Jörg

Nettes Ambiete, mittags auch recht ruhig. Schön dekoriert und netter gesprächiger Service. Reste wurden direkt eingepackt zum Mitnehmen. Essen war gut nur teilweise eher kalt. Vorspeisenplatte sehr großzügig.

Super great...delicious food, new dishes, chicly prepared. Nice staff, pleasant space. Stylishly decorated for Christmas. Including Christmas market in front of the door 2. VISIT under the awning outside. The food was great again, as was the service!!!! Hats off...

Vielen Dank für den schönen Abend. Wir hatten eine schöne Weihnachtsfeier. Sehr schönes Ambiente und sehr nette Bedienung. Das Essen war fantastisch.

Es war alles ok. Noch einmal ein ganz herzlichen Dank an die Servicekraft die uns verwöhnt hat. Das einzige was zu beanstanden ist, ist die Lautstärke

Great restaurant with excellent service. The food tasted excellent. It's rare to see such a harmonious overall package. We would love to come back 😊

Tasty and good food, very satisfied....

The atmosphere is really great. The open space makes the whole thing a bit noisy, but it also makes it seem super lively and people seemed to have a lot of fun. If you're not used to it, the first-name service will seem a bit strange, but it didn't bother me and it reminded me of the atmosphere at my grandparents'. The food itself was okay. Had a Cali Burger with a side dish and dessert. The citizen was a little more than medium rare, but still tasted quite good. The dip was great, but the side dish was too greasy. Everything together plus a drink costs just under €40, which is a bit on the higher end but still acceptable.

Ein unglaublich leckeres Essen bei einer super Bedienung

Had a great evening with great food and great service

Das Essen war super lecker, da gibt es nichts dran zu rütteln… Es hat uns allen sehr gut geschmeckt, jedoch fanden es viele von uns sehr wenig… Wenn ich bedenke, dass wir eine Frauengruppe waren, hätte ich nicht wissen wollen, was sich ein Mann noch hätte bestellen müssen, um satt zu werden… Das finde ich sehr schade. Wir hatten uns alle noch ein Dessert bestellt… Und selbst da wurde dann gemauschelt… Einer von uns hatte sich vorab ein Dessert bestellt die anderen wollten erst nicht und als sie gesehen haben, wie lecker es aussieht, haben sie sich dann doch eins bestellt, wobei dann jeder von Ihnen Von dem einen Zitronenküchlein nur einen halben bekommen haben, weil sie wohl in der Küche nicht genug hatten… Da wir aber schon einen am Tisch hatten, wussten wir, dass es eigentlich ein ganzer sein muss… Wenn wir nichts gesagt hätten, hätten sie wohl nichts gesagt… Und das finde ich sehr schade für ein so teures Restaurant. !!! Deshalb nur drei Sterne.

Nice service, nice location (right next to the city park) and delicious food. (had a burger) What more could you want?

Schönes Ambiente, freundlicher Service, gute Getränkeauswahl. Im Lokalen Vergleich Speisen im höherpreisigen Segment, kleine Portionsgrössen und etwas fad.

Unfortunately the price-performance ratio is getting worse... Went there with a group yesterday and no one was happy. Ultimately, after eating, we moved on hungry and had a snack somewhere else. Somehow that can't be the case. The ambience is undoubtedly beautiful, the service is good, but the quality and "extent" of the food on offer do not correspond to the price.

Das Essen war super lecker und der Nachtisch einfach fantastisch. Das Ambiente ist sehr schön. Tolles Restaurant

Cozy and great ambience, delicious food and cocktails! Highly recommended

The food was not freshly made. It was on our table in 10 minutes

Great place, perfect food, friendly service. Will return if anything brings me to Nordhorn ever again 😅

Very nice and cozy atmosphere, very tasty and very attentive service.

A very nice café, good drinks and people

Wow - very tasty! Cheap lunch with a water flat rate. Unreserved recommendation

Wie immer alles super. Service und Essen waren bisher immer top .

It's nice to spend time in the park and enjoy some interesting types of beer

Wit hatten einen super abend und sehr genossen von das hervoragendes Essen. Herzlichen Dank

Prefect. Delicious steak abs desserts. Beautiful. Nice kids playground nearby.

It was very nice again. The lemonades are especially delicious in warm weather!

Beim Abendessen zu 2 hatten wir aufgrund der Karte und des Preisniveaus (80-90 Euro pro Person für 2-3 Gänge) auf gastronomische Qualität gehofft. Trotz Geburtstag nur Luftschlangen; keine Tischdecke; kein Amouse Geule, kein Brot … Die Vorspeisen (Ceviche) waren sehr gut - aber übersichtlich. Die Hauptspeisen sehr ambivalent - Thunfischsteak mit Rosmarinkartoffeln und etwas Salat (33 EUR) - total fad ohne Pfiff. Das Pfeffersteak (32 EUR) exzellent; aber mit Kartoffelchips aus der Tüte als Beilage?? … wir haben zu Zweit Surf & Turf draus gemacht - da ging das. In Summe klar überteuert für die gebotene Qualität. Der Service war gut - unsere Kritik wurde freundlich aufgenommen

Hervorragende Bierauswahl die in Nordhorn seines gleichen Sucht. Dopple IPA am Hahn.... Einfach perfekt mit akzeptablen Preis.

The ambience is very nice, the food was also really good, the prices are correspondingly expensive. But you can treat yourself to it. Very nice corner with lots of greenery. Staff is nice.
