H1 am See in Meschede

Fantastic view, acoustics a bit too loud for me, highly recommended

First of all: we had reserved a table for 6 p.m. because we wanted to spend a nice evening together with food, drinks, dessert and everything that goes with it. Opening hours until 10 p.m. In the first hour we were served and looked after quickly and friendly. The food and drinks were truly SENSATIONAL! There is no other way to describe it. In order to order the second cocktail, we had to wave the waitress over. We would have liked to order dessert, but no one came to our table. We noticed how other guests without a reservation were turned away and told that it would close soon. It wasn't even 8 p.m. We were a bit confused because according to the internet it would be open until 10 p.m. We called to the counter to see if we could order something else. They said no. No coffee or even a scoop of ice cream. I asked until when it would be open. The employee then fussed uncertainly. People were cleaning around us and putting up chairs - it wasn't yet 8:30 p.m. The situation felt very uncomfortable for us. Shortly afterwards someone came to our table and asked if we could cash in. We left the restaurant before 9 p.m. because we were essentially complimented. Despite the sensational food, the evening ended rather disappointingly. Because this impression was the one that lasted, I unfortunately can't give it more than 3 stars. I have worked with clients for a long time myself. I can understand that it's not worth keeping the entire business running for just a few guests. It would have been desirable to come to our table again, with the information that the kitchen was closing, whether we wanted to order anything else, and then at least offer us dessert including a final drink. And then as managing director I have to hold out a little longer either alone or with an employee. I can then send the rest of the team home to save costs. In any case, I have the expectation that as a guest, with official opening hours until 10 p.m., I will not be kicked out before 9 p.m. and that I will be made to feel no longer wanted in the hour beforehand... Too bad! Had potential...

Unfortunately quite disappointed with the price-performance ratio...90 cents extra for plant-based milk is absolutely cheeky!! The non-alcoholic cocktail should also cost exactly the same as the one with alcohol - but there may be something wrong with the price calculation. A reason for me not to go there anymore. SHAME!

Coffee is tasty, fast service, huge pieces of cake.

We went to H1 for breakfast. The ambience was nice, the breakfast wasn't exactly cheap, the selection was good, but some components could be improved. The scrambled eggs were more like porridge, the first batch of bacon was nice and crispy, but the one that followed only saw the pan for a very short time and was therefore soggy. We didn't get to know the contents of a warming container because it was always empty. A few other things weren't refilled either. The juice bar was great!

It was very tasty, prompt service... Thanks...

Unfortunately only officially open from 12.30. Beforehand only brunch with reservation.

Nice location and nice decor. The food is good, but very expensive. However, the fact that a cappuccino costs €5.10 or even €6 with oat milk is an absolute disgrace! If it at least tasted good... What a shame!

I can't say much about the food, I only ate fries, they were very tasty. The atmosphere is very appealing. You pay for the location on the lake. So not exactly cheap...

Nice location and very popular considering the amount of people and limited seating if you don't have a reservation. Nice restaurant and you feel completely on holiday. Cappuccino very expensive, so go for the espresso macchiato. For Dutch people, this is the same as the Dutch cappuccino and is a lot cheaper.

Fast service and the food came quickly.

One of the best breakfast buffets I've ever seen. Coffee etc. are included in the price. Huge selection of dishes, rolls, croissants, bacon, eggs, scrambled eggs, pizza, desserts, cold cuts, fruit juices, cakes, yoghurts, muesli, to name just a few. Everything was very tasty and with a view of the lake. Highly recommended.

We went to H1 to have a coffee and a cappuccino. Both normal sizes!!! We paid 10 euros (!!!!!) for the TWO drinks. This is so disproportionate...!!! That left us speechless! The location itself is really great!!! The location is excellent! The employees are always very friendly! So for us the prices are a real reason not to go to the H1 anymore. It's certainly not easy for the operators of such a location these days, as everything is becoming more expensive. But a coffee and a cappuccino shouldn't be more expensive than at a motorway service station!!! Maybe the menu could be “revamped” at this point?!

Very friendly staff, food is great The Hennesee is simply beautiful 💙

Huge breakfast buffet with everything your heart desires. Great service.

Very good restaurant. Great view of Hennesee

Great location with a direct view of Lake Hennesee. Food good and price OK. Service friendly and atmosphere pleasant. Since it is usually quite full, a reservation is recommended.

Great place with really tasty food. The salads are particularly excellent. But you should reserve in advance.

We took a walk around the Hennesee reservoir and made a lunch stop at H1 am See. We were allowed to sit in the cozy entrance area with our dog. Dogs are not allowed in the restaurant itself. Super friendly and very hospitable employees provided us with delicious drinks and food. This restaurant is absolutely great and definitely worth a stop and/or a pleasant evening.

Sehr schöne Location am See. Wir wurden freundlich und schnell bedient. Der Service war immer auf Zack, die Gläser blieben nicht lange leer und das bei ausgebuchtem Lokal. Die Speisen waren sehr lecker, lediglich das Salatdressing war etwas essiglastig. Wir haben uns echt wohl gefühlt.

WAY TOO EXPENSIVE!!! NEVER AGAIN!!! Completely inflated prices for average quality

Very nice restaurant right on Hennesee. Food was delicious, friendly service. Price performance okay.

Nice and inviting. Staff very accommodating and friendly. Food, as well as the cakes, great, keep it up👍🙂

We stopped at H1 on a hike. It is incomprehensible why, when the weather is great on the weekend, the terrace is only half opened and visitors have to sit inside.

We were there spontaneously for lunch last week. There is nothing to complain about in terms of the quality of the food. However, we were more than shocked by the price-performance ratio, we have never experienced anything like this before: The Wiener Schnitzel WITHOUT SIDE DISH costs a whopping 18.50 euros. For the price we expected at least a schnitzel the size of a dinner plate, but we got a tiny piece of meat, about the size of a palm at most. Served carelessly WITHOUT any side dish, no salad, nothing, just a small dollop of cranberries - that was it! And you pay 18.50 euros for that??? Fries then cost another 4.90 euros extra, and these were also only a tiny portion that no one was really full of. That was our first and last visit to what was in itself a very nice restaurant, a shame!

Just as tasty, prefer extra leaf

Was received very unfriendly by the manager. Although only around half of the seats were occupied, the (still closed) terrace was free and obviously not reserved, we as a group of around 15 people were advised to look for free seats around the restaurant or we should have made a reservation. Such a reservation request was made previously, but was rejected because it was fully booked. After we had found our own seats, the terrace was opened. Good customer service looks different. It's actually a shame, but despite the nice atmosphere it was the last time for us on the H1.

Very nice there, you have a great view of Lake Hennesee, friendly staff and prices are okay.

Coke Zero not available? Café latte served in a sticky glass, unfortunately there was no cloth or napkin and it was probably too much effort for the waiter to get one. And when I approached the four employees at the counter to order something, three of them turned around and walked away, the other was loading the sinks. Did a lot wrong today. Unfortunately I can't say anything positive.

Very pleasant in terms of the location and the ambience. Unfortunately one waiter was extremely… But everything else was fine. Gladly again

It was absolutely beautiful. Food was plentiful and varied. The location of the H 1 is great on the lake.

The service was a bit annoyed, it was around 11 a.m. in the morning There was someone else there in the afternoon who was very friendly and accommodating

We went to H1 for breakfast and celebrated my father's birthday. The breakfast was really great, but my father fell ill overnight and unfortunately couldn't come with us. The bill was then issued to us for 8 people even though we were only 7. Even after asking nicely and explaining that my father had spontaneously become ill, they said, “You still have to pay for him!” That would be normal, otherwise you would have to log out beforehand*. However, nothing was said about this on the phone when we made the reservation! Conclusion: We even bought 2 bottles of sparkling wine to take away because it was really good, but due to the poor service we will never go to H1 again!!!

You shouldn't go here if you're hungry. I've been here several times because of the beautiful view, but that's it since yesterday. I won't eat here again. Way too expensive for the quality of food.

Definitely the best place to eat in Meschede. The food was great, the view was great and the service was great (everyone are very nice). The prices are acceptable, too. You can see the menu here: https://shorturl.at/Y60YP The next time that I am on a business trip, I'll definitely come back. Recommend 100%. P.S: We had the Burger (the local), dunkel beer, the carrot soup (even the bread was top notch) and the pan potatoes. Everything was very delicious. Attaching photos but I don't have of the burger because everyone was quick to start with it. 😅

Sunny Sunday midday Sit outside with a view of the water Cocktail delicious Food great Service very nice Just an all around great day!!!!

Everything tip top, rooms mostly new

Top address on Hennesee. Everything was really great, from the furnishings, the food, the friendly service to the clean sanitary facilities. You definitely have to stop here!

Today I was a bit disappointed with the H1 for the first time, at least with the buffet. We arrived at around 10:20 a.m., the location was well filled, but you had to look for a lot at the buffet, sausage, cheese, fruit salad, etc. We didn't see anything being refilled either. Please don't start the negligence. We have always been very satisfied and continue to come to you. Thanks & greetings Jochen

The only cafe with a beautiful view of the lake. Crowded. So we had to wait for a table and a waitress. No one is in a hurry here: neither the clients nor the staff :) The portions are good, the atmosphere is pleasant. Very tasty bread. 😋

Die herablassende, äußerst unfreundliche, fast rüpelhafte Behandlung durch den Restaurantleiter/ Geschäftsführer hat dazu geführt, dass wir uns erst gar nicht zum Essen niedergelassen haben. Ähnliches ist uns noch nie zuvor - weder in Deutschland noch weltweit - passiert. Unter der Ägide dieses Chefs bleibt das H1 für uns tabu.

It's not possible, it doesn't exist! One of the few restaurants that respond to the guest. Keep it up!

Äußerst unfreundliche Bedienung: Das halbe Restaurant war frei, trotzdem wurde uns nur ein Tisch angeboten und keine Rücksicht auf ältere Menschen und Babys genommen. Wir sind wieder gegangen und essen in Zukunft in traditioneller Umgebung statt schicker Kulisse!

Extremely unfriendly service: Half the restaurant was free, but we were only offered a table and no consideration was given to older people and babies. We went again and will eat in a traditional setting instead of a fancy setting in the future! The

Very nicely designed, toilets are very clean, the view of the lake is wonderful, the service was quick and friendly. What was particularly good for me was that there were various vegan options. Thanks for a nice afternoon!

It was a family reunion and everything was just beautiful. Service food ambience everything was perfect. A big thank you to the whole team

Always delicious and a great view of the lake. I am now a regular customer, especially in the summer. Please specify whether you are coming with a dog when making your reservation, there are extra spaces inside for families with furry friends🐶

I recently went to the H1 Restaurant with my girlfriend and we both treated ourselves to the H1 classic. I chose the burger with surf & turf and my girlfriend chose the cheese & bacon. There was also a portion of fries with aioli. My burger was really great, nice and juicy and tasty. But unfortunately my friend's burger was a little overcooked! The fries were okay, but the aioli tasted more like mayo than real aioli. Despite some minor weaknesses, the evening was great overall. The price-performance ratio is definitely right and the staff was really friendly and on the ball. So, all in all, we can recommend the H1 Restaurant, especially for burger fans. Maybe they should just pay a little more attention to how the burgers are cooked and make the aioli a little spicier.

If the weather is nice on the weekend, be sure to reserve!

Simply wonderful. Lots of space for wheelchair users! Great location with a view over the Hennesee. Friendly service, good food at fair prices. Nothing more is possible. I'd love to come back!

Very tasty breakfast buffet that leaves nothing to be desired. The only drawback is that spontaneous visits are not possible; a table must be booked a few weeks in advance as the buffet is very popular Dinner and cocktails also highly recommended. And in summer there is a view of the lake from the terrace. This has a holiday feeling.

We had a delicious meal here, with a wonderful view of Lake Hennesee.

Great location, great atmosphere, really bad food. Schnitzel was impossible to gnaw, wet, soaked with old cold frying fat (with black dots on the wet cloth). Lettuce was fresh, but the chicken on the salad had been cooked to death for several weeks, then baked, then in the oven and then in the microwave for another fifteen minutes? You can try a piece with 16 glasses of beer, but a stealth operation may still be necessary.

Very nice. There are also enough opportunities for children to play.

Very tasty and good selection of drinks and food! Gluten-free bread could also be served with the chicken massala. The restaurant is very stylishly decorated.

Very nice and beautiful place, delicious cakes and good drinks. We will come back again for the citizens. I give 4 stars because I think it's nonsense that (after several orders and drinks) I wasn't allowed to finish with a draft beer. Should only order a large beer. Which wasn't convenient because I still had to drive a car. They love dogs here, very nice!😎

Cozy with a view over the lake, beautiful surroundings and fast service.

What's the point of having the best location if guests aren't allowed to use it? The restaurant is in a prime location directly on Lake Hennesee. The ambience is tasteful and is rounded off by a really beautiful terrace with a view of the lake. Unfortunately, 2/3 of the terrace was cordoned off when we arrived, so we had to sit in when the weather was great. A short time later, the middle part of the terrace was released, so we changed our table. In short, aim for a nice table in the shade. A short time later we were semi-politely informed that the “barrier meant something” which exact barricade? The 3 flower pots that were there acted as a "nice barrier" so we had to move around again. While we were there alone, 4 guests were scared away from this part of the terrace and countless more stood in front of the barrier. Really annoying and incomprehensible that the outdoor area is not used properly and guests are forced to sit inside in the best weather. The salad bowl that we ate inside was delicious, but the Viennese veal schnitzel was far too little for the price as a main meal. The service inside was really fast and friendly, but based on our experience outside we cannot recommend this restaurant and will not come again.

Nice view from the terrace, but you can also pay well for it. Three mini ice cream scoops cost 6 euros.

Long waiting times, even for drinks. If it all takes so long, why do I have so many dishes on the menu, then add toppings on top and the PDA can't even record the dishes. Then, from my point of view, fewer dishes, a crisp menu and therefore effective in catering to the guests. We waited almost 70 minutes for 6 simple meals, a good 15 minutes for drinks. Oh yes, and you don't say the total out loud at the table. Embarrassing in front of invited guests

Great there, super delicious breakfast outside on the terrace with a view of the lake.

The place looks appealing, the location is great, great terrace and very nice interior! Ordering drinks went quite quickly, but we had to wait more than an hour for our food. Although the menu is quite limited, everyone only had burgers and one pasta with shrimp. I think the prices are quite high, the food didn't really blow us away, value for money doesn't really fit! The location and the ambience are what make it there.

Beautiful view of Hennesee. Service good. Unfortunately the food wasn't that good. The sauce for the noodle with shrimp tasted too much like cetchup. Too bad

Die Servicekraft hielt es trotz unseres freundlichen Hallos nicht für nötig unseren Tisch vom Vorgänger abzuräumen, geschweige denn nach 3 maliger ignoranter Blicke zu uns, unsere Bestellung aufzunehmen. Nach etwa 30 Minuten haben wir beschlossen eine andere Gastronomie aufzusuchen .

After spending 30 minutes at an uncleared table and being punished three times for disrespecting the service staff despite our friendly hello, we decided to go to another restaurant.

It's lovely to sit by the lake. The service is friendly and sometimes not so friendly. It depends on the person. The food is good but expensive. You have to book early, otherwise you won't get a nice seat.

Multiple Vegetarian or vegan option. the atmosphere is really calm and at the same time friendly.

Wir wurden bereits auf dem Parkplatz mehr als unfreundlich empfangen, auf zwei Sprachen☝️ zur Sicherheit das wir es verstehen denke ich mal. Der Plan war die Kinder am See entspannen zu lassen, und wir in Ruhe ein ausgedehntes Essen zu uns nehmen können. Aufgrund des Chefs der mit seine unfreundlichen Art und den Appetit verdorben hat haben wir uns entschlossen was zu trinken, um zu parken und am See zu verweilen und dort was zu essen, am Meating am See! Um sicher zu gehen, ob wir ein Einzelfall sind haben wir uns mal bei Tripadvisor erkundigt. Und unsere Erfahrung ist wohl kein Einzelfall. Ganz im Gegenteil ein roter Faden ist dort sehr deutlich zu erkennen. Lage 👍, Essen i.O., Service, absolute klare Meinung, sehr unfreundlich! Fazit, na dreimaliger Erfahrung, hinsichtlich dem unfreundlichem Service, never ever! Das Personal möchte ich an der Stelle entlasten, wenn es der Chef vorlebt wie arrogant und unhöflich man mit Gästen umgeht, überträgt sich das auf die allgemeine Stimmung und Kultur der Mitarbeiter!

We were invited to a wedding reception in H1 and we really enjoyed it. The location right on the lake was very idyllic and the fact that the wedding party was somewhat shielded from the day-to-day operations made it more family-like. The food and drinks were really good, but I would have liked air conditioning in the ballroom, as with the outside temperature at 34 degrees, most of the time, including the party evening, took place on the terrace and therefore there was less of a party atmosphere. Otherwise, I felt very comfortable there as a guest.

**Rezension für H1-Restaurant am Hennesee in Meschede** Vor kurzem hatten wir ein Geschäftsessen im H1-Restaurant am Hennesee in Meschede, an dem zwei Ärzte und zwei Unternehmer teilnahmen. Unsere Erfahrung dort war enttäuschend und ärgerlich. Bereits bei unserer Ankunft wurden wir vom Empfangspersonal äußerst unfreundlich und abweisend empfangen. Dies setzte den Ton für den restlichen Abend. Das sogenannte Grill-Buffet bestand lediglich aus Würstchen und alten Hähnchenbruststücken, die alles andere als appetitlich und einladend wirkten. Ein besonders negativer Höhepunkt des Abends war unser Versuch, den Tisch zu wechseln. Eine sehr nette Kellnerin erlaubte uns freundlich, unseren Platz am Ende der Terrasse zu verlassen und näher am Buffet Platz zu nehmen. Sie bat uns lediglich, unsere Tischnummer auf die andere Seite der Terrasse mitzuteilen. Als wir dem Kellner Manuel freundlich mitteilten, dass wir vom Tisch 200 nach vorne umgesiedelt seien, um näher am Buffet zu sein, reagierte er äußerst unhöflich. Ohne uns anzusehen, sagte er: "Sie sollen dorthin zurück, wo Sie hergekommen sind, und das geht gar nicht." Diese Aussage war nicht nur abweisend, sondern hatte auch einen ausländerfeindlichen Unterton, der uns sehr verletzte. Als wir diese unangemessene Behandlung durch Kellner Manuel beanstandeten, wurde uns ein Platzverweis angekündigt und wir wurden gebeten, das Restaurant sofort zu verlassen. Diese unverschämte und respektlose Behandlung haben wir in keinem anderen Restaurant in den vielen Ländern, die wir bereist haben, erlebt. Dieses Erlebnis im H1-Restaurant am Hennesee wird uns sicherlich davon abhalten, dieses Restaurant erneut zu besuchen. Wir können nur hoffen, dass das Management solche Verhaltensweisen überdenkt und zukünftig für einen respektvollen und freundlichen Umgang mit den Gästen sorgt.

**Review for H1-Restaurant at Hennesee in Meschede** We recently had a business lunch at the H1 restaurant at Hennesee in Meschede, which was attended by two doctors and two entrepreneurs. Our experience there was disappointing and annoying. As soon as we arrived, we were greeted extremely unfriendly and dismissive by the reception staff. This set the tone for the rest of the evening. The so-called griller buffet only consisted of sausages and old pieces of chicken breast, which seemed anything but appetizing and inviting. A particularly negative highlight of the evening was our attempt to change tables. A very nice waitress kindly allowed us to leave our place at the end of the terrace and sit closer to the buffet. She just asked us to send our table number to the other side of the terrace. When we kindly told the waiter M. that we had moved from table 200 to the front to be closer to the buffet, he reacted extremely rudely. Without looking at us, he said: "You should go back to where you came from, and that's not possible." This statement was not only dismissive, but also had a xenophobic undertone that hurt us greatly. When we complained about this inappropriate treatment by waiter M., we were expelled and asked to leave the restaurant immediately. We have never experienced this outrageous and disrespectful treatment in any other restaurant. This experience at the H1 restaurant at Hennesee will certainly stop us from visiting this restaurant again. We can only hope that management will reconsider such behavior and ensure respectful and friendly treatment of guests in the future.

Update 2024: Due to the very good experiences in 2023, I will be coming here regularly in 2024! Whether breakfast or dinner, always fresh, creative cuisine, homemade dressings, sauces, dips, excellently seasoned, beautifully prepared and very friendly, professional, attentive but also discreet service! Very child friendly! Big praise!! 2023: Extremely good!!! We were on holiday in Hochsauerland this year and received the recommendation from our hosts. On the day of arrival we had breakfast at H1 and were so impressed that we tried the evening menu the next evening. Expectations were high due to the breakfast buffet! AND THEY WERE EXCEEDED!!! The combination of a wonderful ambience, very warm and attentive service and outstandingly fresh cuisine makes the H1 number 1 in the Hochsauerland for us.

We would have liked to have sat on the terrace in the H1 today in summer temperatures. Unfortunately we were told that only part of the terrace was open and we couldn't sit outside. The reason given to me for this statement was that there were not enough staff on site. What a service! And above all, what is the difference if we had eaten inside or outside given the lack of staff? When we asked where we could sit inside, we were basically asked to leave the restaurant!!!! Yes, we were kicked out! The arrogance that the managing director expressed towards us is blatant!! Hennesee service desert! We're definitely not coming back.

Food was mediocre and relatively expensive. The fries were very good, but the burger was rather hard and the salmon was very, very lemony, so my companion didn't eat it. The restaurant itself is nicely decorated and you can have a good conversation because the music isn't too loud. The service was very friendly and always there quickly.

The fries here are made from potato mega!!!

Very well furnished for an open plan restaurant. There wasn't that much going on, so it was pretty quiet. We had an indoor seat by the window overlooking the lake. The service was quick and friendly, the food was excellent.

Great location, delicious food and nice service. Soon again

I've been there for brunch three times now and once again it was very tasty, the atmosphere is very nice, this time we sat on the small bench at the counter and that was the best place (actually we were supposed to sit outside, but that The weather was a bit chilly and so the boss offered us the bench 🥰, very nice really). As already mentioned, the food was very tasty and everything was fresh. I forgot to take photos because I was so looking forward to eating 😁😁😂😂 Since it wasn't the last time, I'll post some later 😌

Very nicely done with excellent views over the lake as well as good food and drink. Great play area for the kids!

Very nice there, good drinks and delicious food!

Nice view of the lake, nice staff but I found it very expensive.

Great location with a view over the Hennesee. The food was very good and filling. The prices are reasonable and the service is friendly and courteous. I can recommend the H1 to everyone.

We liked it and enjoyed it, with a nice view

We went for a walk at Hennesee today and stopped at H1 and found a nice spot outside with a view of the lake. We had the currywurst in a jar with fries and the tarte flambée. Both tasted excellent, freshly prepared and very attractively presented. The staff was very nice and attentive. We enjoyed it very much.

Nice location on Hennesee. Food was delicious and very nice staff

The ambience and the food are simply great...

Super nice staff and food was great.

Quiet Friday afternoon. Drinks ok. Food was great (buratta with tomatoes and bread with ajoli. Leeecker😍Service top

A very good breakfast buffet. Very plentiful and tasty. Happy to come back!

Not exactly cheap (4.90 for a non-included fries, without sauce; but where else can you eat well and cheaply?), nice atmosphere, delicious food, friendly and present service. Reservations recommended, especially during holidays.

The excursion restaurant in the region. Everything fine!!

The grill buffet is great! And the cake too😁

Both Masala Vegan and the vegan burger tasted great. Freshly prepared, great consistency and texture, seasoned appropriately. (The homemade iced tea was strange. Like water with fruit and sugar. Not sure if there was a mixup. Forgot to ask.)

Great service, great food and a fantastic ambience. I was there with 25 people and everyone was very, very happy. Even the children would go back immediately.

I was there for the first time today, everyone was incredibly nice, the cocktails and the food were incredibly tasty, I would love to come back... I did have one drawback, however, which could have been due to the wedding, but the toilets weren't very clean

angekommen, mit einem kleinen Hund - in den vorraum, zur Kinderecke geleitet worden - Terrasse wurde uns verwehrt... das Essen war gut... Ambiente toll - ich versuche es noch einmal...

Very tasty, good selection and it looks great too 😋

With the great weather, there was no better location for me in a wheelchair than the H1 to refresh and chill out. Because of its generous accessibility and a luxurious toilet facility for wheelchair users, the H1 has been a constant destination since it opened.

Nice ambience, great location and good food. However, the cost of a portion of curry sauce (according to the menu is cream sauce) €4.50 is outrageous, as a side dish to the portion of fries.

Coffee and cake were very tasty, unfortunately the staff was more than unfriendly, which has little to do with hospitality.
