Haus am See in Ilmenau

Expensive. Very long wait times. Not suitable for families, especially with small children.

Very friendly staff. We had a lot of laughs with them. The food was delicious. Keep up the good work. Thank you, absolutely worthy of 5 stars.

A very nice restaurant with a lovely outdoor area and very friendly staff. We would love to come back.

The salmon and shrimp were the best I've ever eaten. Truly excellent and very nice. The atmosphere was fantastic. THANK YOU

The food is worth recommending. I'd gladly go back.

Very friendly service and a great facility for children too

Definitely recommended – pleasant service in a very beautiful location by the lake. Sitting outside on the terrace in the summer is very pleasant. Wednesday is currently schnitzel day, and this is highly recommended. Apparently freshly prepared on site – you could still hear the schnitzel being knocked off the table, so it's definitely a recommendation, and the prices are currently fair. The other dishes are also impressive, both visually and tastefully. Very nice – thank you very much.

We were here today and were thrilled. Totally child-friendly; our six-year-old was given something to color, cut out, and glue together without being asked. There are also small children's vehicles and high chairs. The server was prompt and friendly. We only had a latte macchiato and a mixed ice cream. Both were good. But the food we saw looked very good. We'll come back for lunch or dinner to see how it tastes for ourselves. We really liked the ambiance, and it felt like we were on vacation.

Great restaurant in the heart of Ilmenau.

2020 Short break nearby 2025 Disappointment, staff at the kiosk ordinary, no boats, playground = barbecue area for our unproductive segment of the population, scoop of ice cream is tiny and too expensive.

This was our second time there and we'd love to come back. The service is quick and friendly, and the food is delicious. Whether it was tarte flambée, pork fillet, carpaccio, or nuggets, everyone was satisfied. We were there with five children, and it wasn't a problem at all; they pushed the tables together so everyone had room! 👍

We had to wait a bit, but it was totally worth it. Today was our first time waiting here, but certainly not the last. A very beautiful place.

It takes a very long time, when we asked, the cashier's answer was a bit aggressive.

Very nice beer garden in Ilmenau with friendly service,

The tarte flambée is really great! Keep it up!

Nice ambience, delicious food - and the service tops it all!!!!

Great as always! ✨ Keep it up :)

An absolute must! We had the roulade and the veal goulash. Both were simply perfect, super delicious, and everything you'd want for a Sunday meal 😋🙏🏼

We ate delicious tarte flambée and received prompt and friendly service! We spent a lovely lunch on the grounds by the Ilmenau ponds. The owner and staff were very friendly. We'd love to come back!

Very dedicated team, excellent food (dumplings with roast beef, the finest gravy, red cabbage). We'll be happy to return from Wittenberg.

Very good food. Service was very friendly and quick, even though the restaurant and outdoor area were busy.

Haus am See in Ilmenau is a wonderful place to enjoy good food, have a drink or simply sit in the sun in the evening. The service staff are warm, courteous and humorous, especially Mr. Henselmann. It's always worth coming here, whether for locals or tourists.

Great snack with a nice view of the lake. There are enough shady places, just right for warm days. The tarte flambées were really tasty. We tried all three varieties and each was really tasty. Large selection of delicious drinks, so there was something for everyone. A small minus point only for the long wait in the blazing sun to be able to place the order. This could be designed differently, perhaps with 2 cash registers. And the dishes at the return point could be cleared away more often.

Super nice team. There is delicious food in very clean and beautiful surroundings. Many 4 star restaurants can learn a lesson here.

Small but absolutely sufficient menu with delicious ideas... If you open your eyes you will also see additional, seasonal dishes on the tables. My choice was super tasty, filling and really something different to the usual meal standard. If we're nearby, we'd love to come back!

A culinary experience in the house by the lake I was able to experience a very special moment at a wedding at the Haus am See - and it was simply perfect. The food was a poem: I was particularly impressed by the salad with the beetroot patty - fresh, cleverly prepared and full of fine aromas. The service was exceptionally attentive and warm. You can feel that people work here with real passion. I felt completely comfortable and valued - exactly how you would want on such a special occasion. The Haus am See combines culinary quality, loving hospitality and a wonderful ambience to create an unforgettable experience. I will definitely be back and can recommend it wholeheartedly.

Great for a trip with the family.

Yesterday I took my son to the test for the first time - it's basically in the neighborhood ;-) Food, drinks, service, ambience etc. etc. all very good. We felt completely comfortable and will definitely come back. Of course, prices are actually too high everywhere now. But I don't blame the restaurateurs in any way, because politics doesn't make it easy for them and you have to be happy that someone still has such a strenuous job today, especially at times when others are enjoying their free time. Compared to other restaurants in Ilmenau, at least you don't get any frozen food out of the deep fryer here. I'm happy to pay a few euros more because quality is more important than quantity. We are already looking forward to our next stay and will definitely advertise it ;-)

We wanted to spend a lovely day at the house by the lake with our visit on Easter Monday. On Easter Monday there was no grill on, on the contrary, it was neatly packed away at the back, so let's go to the self-service, there is also a Bockwurst 1 service for the restaurant and at the self-service at the same time wanted a Bockwurst there is no Bockwurst wanted currywurst with fries....no currywurst there when asked why the grill is not in use the answer was no employees. The question after 35 minutes of waiting time is why it says bockwurst and currywurst and there isn't the statement, I just have to cross it out now, she did the self-service and served it in the guest room! When we asked if there was anything to eat, she offered to ask the chef if he could make us a currywurst.... The chef came and explained to us that he was alone and couldn't do it because he had so much to do with the dining room. We could sit down in the dining room and then he would make us a currywurst. When we commented that it didn't work that way, he offered my husband to come in and said he could start working straight away, which my husband politely declined, noting that he was in the workforce. In short, it doesn't work that way and unfortunately you can't feel comfortable anymore. - Eternal waiting times at self-service! - On Easter Monday neither the grill nor the possibility of getting anything between our teeth. - Bean bags, deck chairs, fire bowls, beach chairs Boats all cleared away. How are you supposed to feel comfortable there?

We were visiting at Easter, our friend had raved about this place... but unfortunately we were taught otherwise. The service is totally overwhelmed, unfortunately there is no grill on, especially if you go to Thuringia because of the famous Thuringian sausages. We are very disappointed in the general condition (environment) at the lake.

A nice little restaurant, the food was really great but we waited a long time for the food after our long hike. We had booked a table for 2 p.m. and finally got our food after 2 hours. This shouldn't take that long. We ended up having lunch at 4 p.m

Here you can get really good schnitzels with super tasty fries. Dog was no problem at all.

Wir waren mittags da. Das Restaurant ist schön gelegen (direkt am Teich). Das Essen (Wintersalat mit Kaspressknödeln, Schnitzel, Flammkuchen) war durchweg hervorragend und die Bedienung sehr freundlich. Was will man mehr! .

Beautifully located by the pond, in a quiet location where you can unwind with a cool beer

Very nice location, perfect for celebrations of all kinds. Fantastic view, especially in summer. Particularly suitable for weddings. Food and drink were great. Service was quick and super nice. Would love to come back.

We had a great evening with friends and great food. Service was very nice. The acoustics are a disaster! That's my only comment. Otherwise highly recommended!

Great, manageable map Very friendly staff Very well selected products It's nice to see when someone puts their heart and soul into something.

Schäufele was simply a poem. And also the flexibility of being open at short notice outside of the specified times especially for a medium-sized team. The team is also super friendly. ❤️❤️❤️

Very tasty and fresh food, there were about 30 people and everyone was very satisfied.. many different dishes, all very good and tasty

We just came from the restaurant, the food is really delicious. The staff was very friendly, we recommend it. It's worth eating there

The surroundings and the lake are quite beautiful. But the brown sauce that is served is really not edible.

Update on April 19, 2025 with the experience of the new operators. Very friendly, attentive and accommodating. The drinks are delicious, as is the snack. We would love to come back often! Update July 31, 2024: THE summer volunteer festival as a thank you for volunteers with a great program and a cheerful host Andreas Bühl. It's a shame that Dave (David), the boss himself, wasn't in the mood to celebrate today. When asked if I could have my beer in a glass, like the guest before, the answer was quite rude and loud: "He also paid for it and didn't get it for free." This can happen when you're busy and stressed, but it's still not nice. --- Update 05/18/2024: Today in the beer garden, with DELICIOUS drinks and sensationally awesome potato salad with the Viennese - also a fresh, crispy fish roll - that was gone faster than I could take the photo... --- Restaurant: Always a pleasure, everything is wonderful there. We had a great evening with very high quality and delicious food, as well as friendly service.

Great food, great ambience, very friendly and courteous owners. We'll be back. Thumbs up😊

Highly recommended, cozy and a very quiet area and a great view of the ponds in front of the door. The service was very great and the food was also top class, especially the men's cream with rum that I was able to taste, which was extremely tasty. 😋 Keep going, you're a great team and that's something to be proud of. 10 out of 10 stars 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 Respect everything is nice and clean and well maintained.

As Neuilmenauers, we were guests for the first time, enjoyed a wonderful ribeye steak perfectly prepared and were completely thrilled, satisfied and very impressed by the hospitality. Thank you very much, we would love to come back!!!

Super great ambience, only surpassed by the outstanding service! All of the guests' needs were recognized before we knew it ourselves. The menu is small but tasty and seasonal. The dishes were on point, whether fish, meat, vegetables or dessert. Absolutely recommended! If we head in that direction again, we'll definitely come back!

Can't give a rating for the food. We reserved a table and drove there when it was dark. The path there is a horror for foreigners. Poorly signposted and so poorly lit that you have to be careful not to get off the path. We stood in the dining room and no one showed up. The guest room looked cozy, but the rest wasn't so nice. When we saw the card we were disappointed. Very little choice and the prices were already enormous. Not appropriate for us. So we left the location again and no one noticed that anyone was even there. Unfortunately we don't recommend it.

Restaurant nicely renovated. We made reservations on Boxing Day. Unfortunately there were only 4 main courses, 2 of which were already out. The other dishes on the menu were not possible due to the Christmas menu...no children's dishes. The toilets and the changing room were so freezing cold (unheated?) that you wouldn't want to change your baby there... The food tasted good, but overall it was still uncomfortable because you could hardly understand your own words..

Wir waren relativ spät da zum Mittagessen deshalb waren wir alleine. Das Restaurant ist sehr schön eingerichtet und das Essen war köstlich. Sehr nette Betreiber. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder.

Our visit was great all around. Great atmosphere, very cozy. Nice location. The menu is very clear, but we had something for everyone and it was all delicious. What I liked best was the waitress, who was on the ball and always had a quick comment on her lips. That made the evening very entertaining and fun. We'll be back!

We were at the Haus am See as part of a family reunion. We received a very friendly welcome and had a nice table. The menu is small but everything is fresh. I personally ate rump steak with root vegetables and steakhouse fries. There were also 2 different butters. The meat was medium fried and of excellent quality. For dessert I had Affogato (espresso with ice cream) and a lava cake with salted caramel ice cream. The dessert was also really tasty. It's definitely not the last time we've been there and we can only recommend it - but you should reserve seats in advance.

Few tables, small but nice. The food is very tasty, although there is little choice. The price-performance ratio is not quite right. Nice view of the lake and easy to get to. Plenty of free and free parking spaces. However, a bit away from the city center. The tarte flambée was very good. The dressing on the Caesar salad was a bit spicy but OK. The portion of the lava cake was very small (for around €8) but super tasty.

We were greeted very warmly. The service was very attentive and the food was delicious.😋 Thank you for the good hospitality.💐

We ate in the restaurant yesterday, the food was great, the service was great too, the meat was perfect, would happily go again

Very good food, very nice service. We'd love to come back!!!

The staff is completely overwhelmed and you have to put up with huge waiting times, even though it is self-service here. I waited in line for over 30 minutes for 2 beers and a soft drink with 5 people in front of me. Now I know why: I place my order and it is written down on a piece of paper. Then the soft drink is fetched from next door. Next, the order is recorded from the slip into the cash register. Now the first beer is fetched, poured from the bottle into a glass, then the second beer is fetched and poured from the bottle into the glass. Now the price (a beer from the bottle €4.50 for self-service!!!) is stated and collected. This (my) process takes about 7 minutes... In about 37 minutes I could have gotten the drinks at the nearest gas station and it was much cheaper.

Very nice atmosphere. Very nice service (thanks for the nice conversation). Very good food (pork medallions with mushrooms and Röstitaler). Prices are also very good. Take a walk around the lake before or after eating. Top. Gladly again.

We were disappointed with the grand opening Friday. There was no sign of a new opening. No champagne or similar, no floral decorations, The service in street clothes; As announced on the Internet, there was no mention of any culinary highlights. The ambience is good, the tables were simply set. We still wish the team perseverance.

This is a very nice place the best in Ilmenau

No information, everything is closed, including the beer garden. Change of ownership...

Despite the opening time from 12:00 p.m. (shown on the internet, on the display case and at the playground entrance) it was closed! We went specifically to Ilmenau. Pure disappointment! This disappointment was shared by many families, mostly with children.

Unfortunately the bratwursts were already sold out. But the hot dog was delicious. Delicious beer. 🍻

Great cozy location right on the lake.

Idyllic place We didn't see any signs or directions, so we relied on our mobile phones. Very quiet beer garden on the edge of a lake. Recommended!

Super service, good prices and nice food, but the best is the atmosphere near the lake, you can't find a better place to enjoy a good time with your friends

The beer garden is in a very nice location and cozy. Unfortunately, the service is a little thin and the waiting times are correspondingly long. I understand that the employees are doing what they can, but perhaps one more person should be there if there is an expected rush. Unfortunately, from what I've seen, only cash is accepted. What's really great are the occasional live events with music :)

Just great, nice staff and innkeeper/cook. Unfortunately there is a change here, I'm curious whether it will continue like this.

Nice beer garden, lots of space. The Haus am Bier Bräu also tasted good.

Nice location, nice staff and a very good selection of food and drinks. Definitely approved by Uckermärker Wanderbuben. GaLiGrü

I was there with my 2 nieces! Great playground and fair prices View of the pond, music and ambience fit

Very nice beer garden to chill out.

Nice place for children and to relax. Pedal boat for 13 euros an hour. There is food, no highlights but it's enough! Playground is great for children, you can drink your coffee in peace and supervise your child.

The rowing boats and jetty are getting old and in need of an overhaul... everything else is ok

Delicious bratwurst from the grill

I'll only rate the beer garden, nice location but ridiculous prices for self-service.

Price/performance ratio a little overpriced and a very small menu, 4 dishes a bit too dull

Cute café by the lake with fair prices!

Nice evening today and delicious food 👍

Highly recommended...actually an insider tip. If there was a sixth star, I would give it here 👍

Very nice ambience, great food and just as great all the trimmings - clear recommendation!

A very cozy restaurant with friendly staff and excellent cuisine. It was just a shame that we were here in the dark. We'll definitely be back in the spring

Thank you for a great evening with fantastic food! The service was very attentive and friendly, and the atmosphere simply made you feel good. We would be happy to come back and recommend you.

Das Essen war super und die Kollegin im Service super aufmerksam und freundlich. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und können die Adresse absolut empfehlen. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder. Vielen Dank liebes Team.

Nicht nur wir, sondern auch unser vierbeiniger Begleiter wurde herzlich willkommen geheißen. Selten - nein, noch nie, haben wir so eine Gastfreundschaft erlebt. Kaffee und Kuchen haben in wunderschönem Ambiente lecker geschmeckt. Wenn wir wieder nach Thüringen fahren, ist das Haus am See auf jeden Fall unsere erste Anlaufstelle.

Nach der Wiedereröffnung waren wir zum Abendessen im "Haus am See". Sehr angenehmes ruhiges schön gestaltetes Ambiente mit toller Atmosphäre. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich. Vom Essen waren wir begeistert. Die Karte ist zwar sehr übersichtlich, aber dafür wird alles frisch zubereitet, keine Produkte aus der Tiefkühltüte. Die Speisen sind sehr appetitlich angerichtet. Wir freuen uns auf einwn nächsten Besuch!

Dieses Restaurant/Biergarten ist ein Muss. Das Essen war lecker und die Bedienung mehr als freundlich und aufmerksam. Das Ambiente ist traumhaft. Auch für Kinder ist in Sichtweite ein schöner Spielplatz. Alles Gute für die Inhaber.

Ein schöner gepflegter Biergarten. Sehr nettes Personal. Wenn wir nochmal in Ilmenau sind, dann kommen wir gerne wieder. Hat uns sehr gefallen 👍😀

Ein schöner Ort um zu relaxen 😎.

Sehr schön bei euch man fühlt sich gleich Wohl. Ich drücke die Daumen das ihr noch eine Unterstützung findet 👍

Schöne Ecke hier bei den Ilmenauer Teichen. Großer Biergarten und frei zugänglicher großer Spielplatz für Kinder unterschiedlichen Alters.

Das Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis ist völlig ungenügend! Man steht ewig in der Schlange um dann ein überteuertes, warmes Glas Wein in die Hand gedrückt zu bekommen. Die ungelernten Kräfte waren völlig überfordert, jeder Handgriff hat ewig gedauert. Die Brötchen waren uralt. Für den selben Preis bekommt man in einem "richtigen" Biergarten seine Getränke und sein Essen am Tisch serviert und das in einer besseren Qualität! So funktioniert es jedenfalls nicht! Ich kann die Lokalität leider nicht empfehlen.

Top Service 100%freundlich und zu tausend % ehrlicher Service sie haben uns unser restgeld von 35euro gegeben da wir es durch die Hitze garnicht mitbekommen haben das wir Geld zurückbekommen da wir nicht gemerkt haben das wir 50euro gegeben haben und der Service hat es uns ehrlich mitgeteilt das wir noch was zurück bekommen ich kann das nur empfehlen top der Kuchen das Eis alles top es ist echt mega schön wir gehen wieder hin

Absolut entspannend bei gutem Wetter im Biergarten am See Zeit zu verbringen.

Sehr schöne location. Direkt am See. Der Rost ist auch fast immer an.

Sehr schöner Fleck Erde. Direkt am See. Sehr ruhig und entspannend. SB mit Getränken und Snack. Gemütlich mit Strandkorb.... Jede Menge Sitzgelegenheit. Entspannen und Natur genießen... Da ist man hier richtig.

Sehr gemütlich.! Essen OK. Kleine Auswahl aber für jeden was dabei für den kleinen Hunger

Sehr frisch und lecker, aufmerksame Bedienung

Schöner Ort mit guten essen. Das Personal war super nett. Nebenan ist gleich der See und ein kleiner Tierpark...

Waren vor einer Woche im Restaurant essen. Wurden sehr herzlich empfangen und bedient. Das Essen war spitzenmäßig und wurde sehr ansprechend angerichtet! Das Auge isst mit!!!! Die Karte ist klein, aber hervorragend! Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder!!!!

Super nette Bedienung, große Auswahl an lecker Essen und schönes Ambiente
