Luzifer Foerdeblick in Kiel

I read through some of the reviews... At first I was worried whether we would really be able to enjoy the day today. But we were convinced of the opposite. We were 14 adults and 5 children. Great breakfast buffet, plenty of choice, always freshly topped up. Service was top and the staff was super friendly. This will probably either have been improved, or it is due to the shift of the staff, there are such and such... In any case, we were completely satisfied today. We'd love to come back.

A beautiful location with a view of the fjord. Instead of breakfast we ate Kaiserschmarrn that was fried to death. But taste good.

Delicious rich food Friendly staff

My experiences and those of my guests on October 20th, 2024, brunch as a birthday afterparty with 17 adults and 7 children aged 1-7. When we were there at 10 a.m., the buffet was pretty empty and wasn't refilled in a timely manner. No fresh rolls, just baked rolls. No choice of milk. There were no boiled eggs either; if you asked, you would have to wait 8 minutes. The dishes weren't labeled either. There were no bowls for pudding, only large soup bowls. All in all very unfriendly, inattentive staff. When booking I asked about the prices, adults €22.90 per person, children aged 6-10 pay €11.45, so far so good. The bill then showed 7 children billed at €11.45. When I asked why I should pay for all children, a waiter said it would be based on size. There was never any mention of it and then I spoke to a very unfriendly waitress who then said that only children aged 1-2 would not have to pay anything. I then asked for the restaurant management, lo and behold, I had just spoken to them. She could only refund me €22.90, but I still paid 3 children too much. For the reasons stated above, my guests and I cannot recommend Buffett. Frauke Nossing

Great restaurant with a direct view of the fjord. The food is super tasty and the service is also perfect. Thanks to the entire team ❣️❣️❣️❣️ We are already looking forward to seeing you again next year!!️😄😄😄😄😄 Until then, I wish you all the best and stay healthy!!

A nice restaurant, the service was good and the kitchen quite quick. In the end it was too expensive for me for lunch (pasta, drink, salad, coffee) at €40.

It doesn't get any better. Very nice service. Best water views. Food perfect

Very nicely located and a great view...

The store lives up to its name and the employee treated us like she was Lucifer

We came on a Sunday, there wasn't much going on, we went to the entrance and were yelled at to wait, but we didn't even say anything. We waited for a table to be seated and were ignored, no hello or anything. I looked at my wife and said come on, darling, there are plenty of other cafes. 👎🏻

Das Frühstück war superlecker...Lob an den Koch...die Lage ist super!Aber locken im Netz mit Kennlernangebot Sa für 19.90€ pro Person...bei Bezahlung aber 22.90 € pro Person ,mit der Begründung...das gilt nicht mehr!Frechheit!

Nice atmosphere with a great view. Unfortunately the Kaiserschmarn was a chopped pancake. We were told that it was North German. Since we come from Kiel, I have to question this a lot. Kaiserschmarn is Kaiserschmarn. The children's pancakes were very greasy.

Was there at 10:00 on Saturday. Was closed.

The restaurant offers a very good view of the fjord. I don't know if anything has changed since my last visit, but in this restaurant you could tell that the mushroom cream sauce wasn't made in-house. This is definitely the case in other restaurants in the “Lucifer” chain. The white cabbage salad in curry dressing was also a bit “special”? The fried potatoes were ok - but nothing exceptional. All in all, I don't think the price/performance ratio is really fair.

Top food - as always at Lucifer Top service Super nice view

Friendly event restaurant. From here you can easily observe the shipping traffic coming and going into the Kiel NOK lock. The turkey salad with vinegar and oil dressing was very tasty.

We had a very nice evening at Lucifer/Fördeblick yesterday! The sour meat with fried potatoes and remoulade was top notch, and the labskaus and matjes were also well received. What is particularly noteworthy is the very friendly, attentive service! Many thanks to the nice colleague and the entire Lucifer team. We'd love to come back!

Great view; nice atmosphere, professional service and the food was very tasty 😋. Come back..😁

One of the most beautiful places in Kiel😍

We waited an hour for our food even though only half the seats were occupied. The fries tasted like old oil.

Essen war nicht gut.fleisch nicht richtig zubereitet.salat Hart und nicht Lecker.käse auf dem Bürger nicht geschmolzen, und hart.und der Service nicht der beste

Beautiful location, pleasant atmosphere outside and inside and very nice staff who make you forgive the bad tea and greasy, hard fried potatoes. Food is otherwise tasty and there is a good selection of dishes. I love the atmosphere with this great, slightly elevated view of the water.

Bad! Wiener Schnitzel wasn't veal, it was simply foisted on you with pork. Little interest in service.

The breakfast buffet is very rich and good. Until recently, bread and rolls were freshly baked on site. Unfortunately there are now only average baked goods, so a star deduction. A reservation makes sense as places are often in demand.

A wonderful location, sheltered with a view over the canal, plus really good food, with a Ninder and desert menu, great Asgaard beer and excellent attentive service. The cherry on the sundae is the ship's playground for the little ones. We enjoyed being there, felt very comfortable and would love to come back. THANKS to the great team for their patience with us Food: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Ambiance: 5/5

Super friendly service staff, the food was also very good. We'll be back!

I visited this restaurant for the first time today on August 8th, 2024 and I was very positively surprised. The service was really extremely friendly, our table was served by the nice Lars and I have to say that this friendly gentleman will definitely be a reason for me to visit this restaurant again. The food also tasted good, we asked while we were eating whether it was good and whether we needed anything else, you couldn't imagine it being any better. I will definitely come back and hope that I will get this friendly waiter again.

Very nice service that fulfilled every wish. The view underlined the experience, as did the food from the friendly chef. We'll be back!

Fischgerichte super, toller Salat, Nudelgerichte lieblos und geschmacklos gekocht und präsentiert. Kuchen gab es 1× großes und schönes Stück und 1× kleines und verbackenes Endstück. Auch auf Nachfrage wurde die Tageskarte nicht gebracht, sonst war der Service gut. Gemütlicher Laden, sauber, rustikal, Blick auf die Förde reservieren.

Great location and nice staff 👏👏

The food was very tasty, the location with a view of the fjord was great. Service was also good Unfortunately, drink prices are sometimes a rip-off

Very cozy and friendly staff. Food is plentiful and delicious. And first of all the view, sensational. Definitely coming back

It was nice and sunny. Staff was super friendly and personable. Kaiserschmarrn was delicious and we enjoyed it very much. Beautiful view.

Small Orange Juice 0,2 l -> 2,5€ Big Orange Juice 0,4 l -> 6,90€ 🤔 Essen good

Delicious food, good service and a beautiful view 👍

Great terrace. With a hedge, almost no wind. Friendly service. My changes were addressed perfectly. The matjes is super mild. The chutney with apples goes perfectly. The interior is very comfortable. A beautiful place!

We had breakfast at Lucifer on Saturday with 7 people. The delicious buffet was presented with a lot of love and commitment. We felt very comfortable there and not for the first time. We all love coming back here! Thank you for everything.

Waren heute zu einem zwischenstopp im Restaurant fördeblick in holtenau. Leider waren wir mit dem Essen nicht zufrieden Bedienung war sehr okay. Es ist eine tolle Location mit einem sehr guten Ausblick auf die Förde. Die Terrasse ist nicht sehr gepflegt da sehr viel Unkraut darauf zu finden ist. Wir hatten einen Lachs Burger mit Bratkartoffeln. Der Burger war kalt die Bratkartoffeln auch. Und das Brötchen war ein 08/15 Brötchen. Des weiteren hatten wir eine Kleinigkeit ein Bruschetta auch mit Lachs leider war alles kalt.

Our first visit was for the Christmas buffet 2023. The selection of food was good, the service was friendly and attentive despite the full restaurant. We then decided to celebrate our son's confirmation there and reserved a specific room for around 20 people, including use of the terrace, for July. In June we came to the preliminary meeting and the first thing we were told was that we wouldn't have the room. When we asked, it was very flippantly made clear to us that there were 40 paying guests registered in the next room, so the lady needed the room reserved for us for the buffet. If we hadn't been a little close 3 weeks before the date, we would have left at this point. But good... We agreed to an alternative; we were at least promised the use of the terrace for the champagne reception. On the day of the confirmation the following happened: no champagne reception, an order for champagne was only taken upon request, no use of the tarrace was possible, guests were already sitting there. The room with a sea view was well prepared, but much too warm with large windows and windows that couldn't be opened - luckily we only had moderately good weather that day. There weren't enough menus, even though we had registered a fixed number of people. When asked, there was only a grumpy answer that there weren't any more cards. The food came quite quickly and was tasty and plentiful for everyone - praise to the kitchen, without the good food there would probably not have been three stars. Some portions were so large that guests wanted to take the rest of the food with them. "It doesn't work, no more packaging." was the waiter's reply. The question about aluminum foil was also extremely unfriendly with: "We don't have it. I can offer you a yellow bag." acknowledged. This ended our second and final visit to the Lucifer, where good service and friendliness apparently only starts with forty paying guests.

I've never experienced anything like that. The buffet was really a joke. The service had zero interest in the guests. You weren't even asked if you wanted an extra drink. You could search for the staff throughout the entire restaurant. Or there was a noise in the kitchen. Simply not recommended. Save your money!!!

Wonderfully located - food, drinks, service - again and again.

Super delicious fish, great view

I've been a Lucifer fan for years. This location right on the Kiel Fjord is awesome. In the front row for the closing parade of the Kiel Week. The choice of food has changed a lot over the years and unfortunately there is little vegan on offer. I had a fish soup, but the crabs were missing, which I asked the waiter about. Your answer "Crabs are way too expensive at the moment! €160 per kilo" A note about this when ordering would have been nice. But the price stayed the same!

It's a shame, until a year ago we always enjoyed going to Fördeblick. Today we were there for free. Skip breakfast at home in the morning and go from HH to Kiel to have a proper breakfast there. At first glance we read online that it would be open from 11:00 a.m. and on another site on the internet we found a menu from Fördeblick with the breakfast offering. When we arrived in Holtenau at 11:00 a.m. in beautiful weather and arrived at the Lucifer beer garden, it was deserted and looked somehow inanimate and deserted, as if it wasn't open at all. A waiter (he seemed to be the only one working there) came to the place and explained that hot food was only available from 11:30 a.m. and that there was no breakfast at all during the week. We left disappointed! Maybe You should point out on the Internet that there is no breakfast offer during the week and that food is actually only open from 11:30 a.m. It's a shame after the long journey, we could have saved ourselves! I don't have a good feeling, there have been changes of tenants at Fördeblick too often in the last 13 years, I hope that's not the case, because I actually appreciated Lucifer's concept up until now!

The kitchen is great. Regional, fresh and delicious. The view (with the hedge trimmed 😉) is a dream. The Kiel Fjord is always worth a look. When summer is back, you should sit outside. The employees are friendly. I'd love to come back.👍

Easy to miss this little gem! Very great ambience, the smell of coffee mixes with the smell of fresh wood-fired bread, the coffee specialties are prepared very professionally with love. Since there wasn't much going on, we got a super interesting exclusive introduction to the art of coffee roasting. It was really a pleasure. Even children are treated with love and tolerance here - thank you very much for that 😉

We ended up there by chance and actually just wanted to drink coffee. Instead we ate warm and were very happy with our meal. The service was very courteous and quick, even though it was very busy. We sat outside in the best weather with a great view of the fjord, but the restaurant also makes a very stylish impression inside. A clear recommendation from our side. We will definitely come back.

A super restaurant at the entrance to the North Baltic Sea Canal in Kiel-Holtenau, great location right on the canal, great food, super nice staff, just everything was great

After a long time, but not for the first time, we were back at the Lucifer to celebrate a birthday in a larger group. I'm mostly referring to food, as you can see from my stars. My wife had herring, I had the steak platter. The fried potatoes were cold and my two pieces of meat were maybe 5cm each. Long and a few pan-fried vegetables and a fried egg certainly don't reflect the price of 24.50 euros. As I said, the staff was friendly, but perhaps a little overwhelmed with the strength for 30 people, because we and the hostess had already finished our meal when the last table had just received their food. Overall, apart from the view of course, it wasn't that great anymore

We were there for a buffet for a special occasion with 30 people. Our requests for table decorations were ignored and discussed. The service with a waitress was unfriendly and poor. And that from the restaurant management. One waitress for 30 people who want to eat at the same time is not enough. This made everything drag on incredibly long. We didn't feel comfortable even though the food was good.

Nice restaurant for a balanced breakfast, brunch or coffee. The staff is very nice and does a lot, the offering is well selected and the price is ok. Drinks in buffet restaurants are very expensive. We'll definitely come by again.

Unfortunately everything is not so clean and unkempt. The asparagus is not recommended. The location is super nice and that's about it.

We've been there for breakfast for a while now and it was the last time. Apart from the cheap baked rolls, dirty plates and the attentive staff but still poor service, the worst thing was the cleanliness. There were, among other things, chips and decorations under our table, but the toilets were awesome. Not only the way there, the stairs were so dirty, but also the toilets themselves were absolutely disgusting. All of the women's toilets were really stinky and after talking to the others, the men's toilet probably looked just as scary. If we hadn't been the first in the restaurant, you could have said okay, there was a lot going on here, but still a no go but theoretically the shop should have been set as soon as the doors opened. We paid a lot of money for bad service, cheap food and dirt everywhere we looked.

We were there for Pentecost breakfast with five people. The buffet was rich, there was something for everyone, even our eight-year-old, lots of fish and very tasty. Fruit and vegetables were plentiful and fresh. All we missed were signs so that you could see what was what and know what was inside. There was enough coffee and the empty pots were immediately replaced. The staff was friendly. Only cocoa was not included in the otherwise reasonable price, which is a shame. We were very satisfied with everything and would come back at any time.

Always happy to come to Lucifer whether for lunch, cake or dinner, always satisfied. When the weather is good, it can also be outside on the terrace. It can get fuller, so it's better to reserve in advance. The surroundings are beautiful with a promenade and water views.

Excellent food, beautiful location with a great view. What was particularly noteworthy was the very nice, friendly service 👌👏

Great view of the Kiel Fjord and a rich menu.

The kitchen is wonderful, friendly staff. Nicely located. Top grade

With a group of 13 people we had made a reservation for the breakfast buffet this Sunday. Despite telephone inquiries in advance, there were no vegan alternatives to milk, cheese, fish and sausage/meat. The dishes were not labeled and no answer could be given even when asked. Rolls seemed like baked rolls to me, the few croissants were always out of stock. Vegetables and fruit deserve praise, but there was also no declaration regarding the ingredients of the desserts (carbohydrate - very useful for diabetics, gelatin, alcohol, additives). For vegan and health-conscious people, the choice is ultimately very limited. Actually, these days it should be a given that vegan dairy products and spreads are on offer. For the price of 19 euros (excluding drinks) I expect more.

The food was fantastic, really tasty, everyone was very happy with it. Unfortunately I can't say the same about the service and that's why I'm writing this review. We were served directly by the restaurant manager and unfortunately I have to say that she was very unfriendly right from the start. I used to work in service myself and therefore have a lot of understanding when something is forgotten and especially when there is a lot going on etc. but in the end we all unfortunately had to say that the restaurant manager was very unfriendly from start to finish. When I asked politely where the toilet was because I couldn't understand it acoustically, the answer was repeated louder and even faster, annoyed. When ordering, we were only allowed to order drinks at first, not food. Even when the drinks were brought we couldn't order any food. After another 10-20 minutes we had to approach the restaurant manager ourselves to say that we would like to order our food. As you can imagine, the mood at the table was not exactly enthusiastic. We tried again and again to be friendly towards her, but we always had the feeling that we were unwanted. It was my first visit to the restaurant and I was, in short, shocked by this behavior. This will also mean for me that I will no longer go to this restaurant. However, I was assured by the others at the table that it was actually always very nice and friendly and that they were therefore very shocked by this behavior. Based on the other reviews, I have to say that the quality of the Lucifer has deteriorated drastically.

Wir wollten ein richtig schönes Frühstück genießen, wurden aber leider enttäuscht. Es gab nicht ausreichend Auswahl und es fehlte einfach das Besondere. Der Obstsalat war fade und wässerig, der Lachs war nicht in Scheiben, sondern zerhackt und megasalzig, die Matjesfilets waren mit das Beste. Normaler Kaffee war im Preis inbegriffen, alle anderen Getränke außer Wasser musste man extra bezahlen, was mit OSaft und Sekt zu einem Preis von insgesamt 62 Euro führte. Für 2 Personen, nicht für eine ganze Familie. Das ist für ein Frühstück in dieser Qualität einfach zu viel. Da kann ich auch selber zu Aldi gehen und einkaufen, davon habe ich dann mehr. Das machen wir bestimmt nicht nochmal. Schade!

Delicious food, perfect views and the price-performance ratio is also right. You don't need anything more!

The food itself was tasty, but the salmon burger was listed as salmon fillet on the menu, so we assumed it was fried salmon. However, smoked salmon was served, which unfortunately did not meet expectations. When speaking to the waitress, she did not accept the suggestion that this could perhaps be better labeled on the menu, but instead insisted that it was labeled as smoked salmon. The rest of the food was delicious, the view of the fjord is very nice!

Unfortunately, the salmon burger was made with smoked salmon and not with salmon fillet as stated on the menu. There was also no response to requests from the waitress.

Sunday brunch with friends Definitely with advance reservation Had a nice window seat with a view of the fjord The breakfast buffet included everything your heart could desire. Would love to come back.

Unfortunately, we were not informed of a price increase in advance. For a dessert this amounts to 2 euros, €12.90 according to the menu and €14.90 on the bill. Upon request, an explanation of a price increase. Our wish that raisins were taken out was happily accepted, but unfortunately not implemented, so we had to cherry-pick a lot. Especially since we had to wait a long time for both the option to order and the order itself! Unfortunately, there are a lot of weeds growing in the outdoor area and there were still drinks from the previous guests on our table. All in all, not a very good visit.

Rarely eaten so badly… miserable value for money. The only positive thing is the view over the fjord.

Positive: Friendly staff and a view of the fjord. Negative: Unfortunately, the breakfast buffet was quite disappointing, especially for the price. There was hardly any choice and the food didn't look very appetizing. We had family as guests and a vegetarian who unfortunately found little choice for herself. Conclusion: We would probably come again to order from the menu, but not to the buffet.

We were 4 people and 2 children for Easter breakfast at Lucifer. Up to now we have always been very satisfied! But unfortunately that has changed. There weren't even boiled eggs. You were almost overwhelmed by smoked fish. Otherwise there was always fresh salmon.",This time it was waste salmon."No more homemade rolls!! The children should pay €1.90 each for warm milk. (3+6 years) They don't drink tea or coffee yet! Impudence! Some of the “clean plates” were also dirty. Well, we won't be back that quickly!

The breakfast buffet was a complete disaster, it was disgusting and there wasn't enough choice! Photos say more than a thousand words!!

Rarely have I had such a bad buffet breakfast. The “buffet” was simply eaten and was not refilled. There is nothing for vegans and very little for vegetarians. Even what little fruit there was was shriveled and almost empty. For €20 it's just a disgrace. We were very disappointed and will not come back.

It was the worst restaurant visit I've ever had. We were there for the breakfast buffet. At first I thought the buffet was the abandoned table of a family of four who hadn't finished eating all of their plates. I was even more disappointed when I was allowed to use it. Absolute impudence and really disgusting and unappetizing, nothing was refilled and in the end I paid 20 euros for a roll with jam. There was no fresh fruit or juices. There was also virtually nothing for vegetarians and vegans. When asked and complained, there was no response, no apology was given and there was no discount. Then they said “yes, that’s the normal buffet, that’s how it always is”. The management couldn't be reached either. I will definitely complain to management again by phone. Really the worst restaurant I've ever been to, even one star is too much and I'll definitely never come back!!!

Diabolically good! We found out about the restaurant via maps and had a very nice stay. A small card is not a defect at all - rather the opposite. The food was excellent, the portions were very generous. The location at the Holtenau lock with the unique view of the fjord and the bank opposite rounds off the visit. The service was attentive and friendly. We know the Lucifer in Schleswig and Eckernförde and also the beautiful restaurant in Kiel. We are already looking forward to the three missing Lucifer restaurants.

We went there for the breakfast buffet and were very disappointed! The price-performance ratio is not right. Unfortunately, the service left a lot to be desired. A pity!

We were there today for Easter brunch at lunchtime. At the beginning we were given dirty glasses, which we then cleaned ourselves. The buffet was just a disgrace for this price! The fried potatoes have probably never seen a frying pan and the selection was woefully inadequate! The salad bar wasn't exactly fancy and you could fill yourself up with dessert on hot plates, which is of course great with ice cream and panna cotta... when we asked if we also had bowls we were told: take a plate, I didn't have anything, The customers take too much and as a result there are only plates. Ok.....let's leave it at that. It took some time to find a clean plate. The only thing that shone was the ambience...but unfortunately that was it! Absolutely underground... unfortunately the first and last time there!

Brunch offer limited food offer, apart from scrambled eggs and fried eggs with bacon, no other warm offers. Very little fish.

The selection of food for lunch was very limited. There is little choice for children and generally little choice for everyone. The taste is okay, but more choice would be nice! I won't come here again.

Very, very tasty... Great view of the Baltic Sea-Elbe Canal... There was little traffic during our visit, so the food and drinks were served quite quickly...if there is a lot going on it will definitely take a little longer... A very well selected menu with few dishes to choose from but still something for everyone. The service staff was very nice and friendly. The ambience is impressive, it is very cozy, very bright and clean. The toilet facility was clean and tidy, toilet accessories (toilet paper, soap and disposable towels) were sufficiently available. We can only recommend this restaurant.

We've been to Luzi many times...But today for the last time..Price/performance isn't right at all...little selection in the buffet, pudding overcooked, partly inedible, salad sandy, nothing refilled, no cutlery, plates dirty. Thank you very much, never again the money could have been spent differently for 12 people

Today I was invited to breakfast. After I had 10 "clean" plates with leftover food in my hand, disgust made me decide not to eat. I also gave up the free water because of the dirty glasses. Then everything disappears. I definitely won't set foot in here again. It's a shame that a store with such a great location is so disgustingly dirty.

Also Nie nie wieder Essen wurde nicht aufgefüllt!!!! Besteck wurde nicht aufgefüllt!!! Nachtisch war ne glatte 6 Toiletten waren dreckig und den Rest möchte ich lieber gar nicht erwähnen!!!! Preis Leistung absolut schlecht . Wie gesagt nie nie wieder !!

Overall light and shadow. Of the two service staff, one person was rather slow and "constantly looking somewhere else", but the other person was friendly and tried hard. Overall, it felt like everything took a little too long, but it was still within limits. The food was good on the whole, only the cheese in the cordon bleu kind of irritated me because it came out almost liquid - it still tasted good somehow, but what kind of "analog cheese" was used is something you might prefer to eat don't know exactly. 😉 The fries that came with it were very crispy and tasty and the other dishes were also okay. In terms of price, you probably pay for the location and it's not really cheap anywhere anymore... ultimately everything is within reasonable limits. Personally, I could live with slightly smaller portions for 1-2 euros less, but that is of course a matter of taste. Overall, it wasn't a bad restaurant experience, but it won't be my new favorite place either.

The ambience is great. But that was it. Service disinterested and only superficially friendly. Schnitzel Viennese style was a disgrace. The quality of the meat wasn't even sufficient. Since when has a Viennese style schnitzel been grilled? Information from the waiter. Salad was white cabbage with curry dressing. Or was it curry dressing with white cabbage. Very bad and not a worthy side dish. Fried potatoes were okay, but needed additional seasoning. But that is forgivable. We've known this restaurant for several years, but today it was the worst meal we've had in years. A pity! You can't raise prices and save on quality or service. This is unforgivable.

It took a while, but the food was very good. Price/performance was ok. The best thing is the location, great views of the fjord. The weather was also very good and therefore very well attended. That could also be an explanation for the waiting time

Eine sehr unfreundliche Begrüßung eines Angestellten mit pampiger Nachfrage der Reservierung. Da wir uns spontan entschieden hatten, verneinten wir dieses. Fast widerwillig wies er uns einen Tisch zu. (Andere Gäste, die ebenfalls nicht vorbestellt hatten, wurden weniger unfreundlich empfangen.) Die Aufnahme des Mittagessen erfolgte durch die Restaurantleitung. Auf Nachfrage zu einem Gericht entgegnete diese Person recht wirsch. Nach Gabe eines Trinkgeldes von 10€ bei der Bezahlung wurde sie freundlicher. Das Essen war frisch zubereitet und schmackhaft. Personal unverschämt. Unser Fazit: NIE WIEDER

Everything was great. It wasn't the last time we were there. ⁰

We were really very satisfied and will definitely come back.

Very good service excellent food. Very nice restaurant. Just the right place to top off a short vacation.

Good food and drinks, very pleasant atmosphere with a view of the Kiel Fjord. Fast and very friendly service

Today we went to the breakfast buffet at Lucifer in Holtenau for the last time. I pointed out the dirty dishes to the staff several times; last time they told me that the dishwasher was broken. That was last year, and apparently it is still broken or not washed properly by hand. It started when I wanted to take a glass for tea from a tray. Of the 20 glasses, not one was clean. Because of my complaint, I was given a clean glass, but the dishes I was supposed to take were also largely dirty. We were there with friends, otherwise we would have left straight away. However, I find the friendliness of the staff positive. Far be it from me to judge negatively, but I've never experienced anything like that.

Very tasty sheet cake with a perfect view, right at the Holtenau lighthouse.

The food was okay, the service was a disaster. We arrived at 7pm. Our food came quickly. We were left with a menu at the table in case we wanted to order anything else. After 35 minutes of no service staff in sight, we were able to call someone. The kitchen had now been closed - we couldn't order anything anymore. When we wanted to pay shortly afterwards, there was again no service person in sight. We went to the front to register and, after calling several times, had to wait 15 minutes until we could pay.

One of the best places for breakfast that you should visit at least once a year! The view is wonderful and after eating you can take a walk by the sea. A lovely place that I always recommend!

Unfortunately the breakfast was very poor. Since our own baker no longer works, there is only one type of brown bread and one type of rolls and those are also baked rolls. The selection of muesli and cereals is also “clear”. Unfortunately, the smoked fish also tasted very strongly of fish. The frozen potato pancakes were arranged uncovered after frying - without being kept warm. The worst thing, however, is the lack of cleanliness: be it the smeared plates, the crumbs in the cutlery trays or the cobwebs in the corners. The condition of the tables should be particularly mentioned here: the deep grooves in the table tops may be visually appealing, but of course this creates a hodgepodge of crumbs/leftover food from various previous guests. There was nothing to complain about in terms of service: the employees were very polite and attentive. It just goes to show: location isn't everything.

We were very dissatisfied and totally disappointed 😞 Reserved for breakfast for 7 people, we waited more than 50 minutes for it. We always had to get coffee and milk ourselves. After asking several times when breakfast was coming, it was supposedly because of the hard-boiled egg (for €3.50) which we had also ordered. During the stay we were only asked once if we had any further wishes. After criticism from us, The behavior of the waitress was very unprofessional and annoyed. There was no soap in the women's toilet, the toilet lid was broken, just unclean and dirty. Despite the beautiful location, this restaurant is not recommended.

We were there with seven people for breakfast (not the buffet). The store was only moderately busy. Positive: - The outlook Negative: - Very small, boring breakfast menu and little to no flexibility when it comes to requests for changes. - We waited about an hour for our food to come. As I said, it was all about cold breakfast plates and the restaurant was hardly busy. - When asked when the food would come, some of the staff were rather unfriendly and annoyed. The excuse: It's a hard-boiled egg that's delaying the whole thing. - Apart from that, our waitress was terribly unfriendly and, among other things, slapped the food on the table. - In between, you don't even ask whether it tastes good, whether something is missing or whether you have any wishes. - Coffee ran out quite early (one pot for everyone). We also had to look for help ourselves. By the way, the pot was very old and unhygienic. - The food itself was very simple and bland. The rolls were 0815 from the discount store. - The women's toilets were unclean and partly broken. P.S. There were quite friendly staff. The criticism relates to the waitress who was responsible for our table.

I booked the breakfast buffet for a large celebration and it was perfect! Super tasty buffet that had something to offer for all tastes and eating habits; very tastefully set tables, friendly service for drinks, and a beautiful room with a fantastic view of the water and ships. When the sun is still shining, it's almost unbeatable. The only tiny downside: The acoustics in the room are barely dampened, which makes conversations tiring when there are many people in the room at the same time and want to talk to each other.

Very attentive staff. Everything great. We'd love to come back.

We had a nice spot with a view of the lighthouse and the fjord. It took a while for the drinks and food orders to be taken, otherwise the service would have been 5 🌟. All the food was on point and the portions are sufficient even for good eaters. The staff was friendly and attentive.

Unfortunately, the food doesn't do justice to the great view of the fjord and the beautiful location. We only enjoyed it moderately and the prices on the menu on the homepage are no longer correct. They are around 3-4 euros more expensive per dish.
