Haus Gammler in Essen

We had a goose dinner here around Christmas time with a group of 14 people. Despite pre-ordering, we waited over an hour and a half for our food. During that time, other tables that arrived later ordered, ate, and left. Some tables even had goose at the neighboring tables. When the food finally arrived, I thought to myself that even the plates at a cheap chip shop look more appetizing than this sloppily prepared goose with red cabbage dumplings and gravy. The red cabbage was very mushy and runny, and mixed with the gravy. The goose, well... For the price, it was an outrage. Unfortunately, I'm only writing this review now because the place was recommended to me again. - Uh, no thanks....

We've eaten here several times and are always thrilled! 👍 The food is excellent, the service is super friendly, and the atmosphere is modern yet really cozy. Overall, we highly recommend the "Alte Fähre." We will definitely be eating here again and again. 👍

Five years ago, we left a bad review because we waited 1.5 hours for our food and had a very unpleasant experience. Today we received a notification that the review was deleted for defamation :-) Unbelievable... what's the point of these reviews then? What do the stars even mean? Having reviews deleted by law firms is pathetic... just be good and fast...

We celebrated our birthdays there. The food was excellent. The staff was friendly and attentive. All our guests echoed this sentiment. Thank you so much!

We were a group of 11. They offered a small menu for groups, but they still accommodated our special requests. Gluten-free food was no problem. The food was delicious, and the service was excellent. The atmosphere is bright and welcoming, with tasteful decor and beautiful artwork on the walls. We'd love to come back.
