Mayer's Restaurant & Cafe in Schleiden

We were there for the second Sunday in a row today, absolutely delicious 😋, and the portions were huge. I recommend a few dishes: Monschauer Grillpfanne (a type of grilled meat dish), Sauerbraten (marinated pot roast) with dumplings and red cabbage... Absolutely delicious 😋

It was my first time there and the atmosphere was lovely, as was the decor and design. I would just like a menu in the bar area with all the drinks and prices listed. Otherwise, I think it's very, very nice, even if you go alone.

We only ate a little something. The food was great and the staff friendly.

Delicious food, excellent service

Seasonal menu – plenty of choice for every taste – very friendly staff and a pleasant atmosphere. We'd be happy to return. We were there with a group of 14 people and it was a wonderful evening.

We celebrated our wedding at Mayer's. From the starter soup to the main course, which we selected à la carte, to our wedding cake and the other cakes, everything was absolutely delicious. We received very friendly service and celebrated with 28 people in a beautifully decorated room. It was truly lovely—we highly recommend it. Many thanks to the entire team for this fantastic service 🙏 Best regards, Jessi & Mike

We came on a Friday evening to grab a quick bite to eat before an appointment and were really running out of time. We mentioned this before ordering, and I have to say, the staff were all extremely polite and helpful, and everything went so quickly, even though it was very busy, that we finished even earlier than hoped and arrived on time for our appointment. The food was also delicious, very, very delicious. It was truly perfect; we would go back anytime.

The food is excellent, and the portions are more than generous. I did have to scoop my own salad from the salad bar, but this has the added benefit of being able to choose your own. A personal highlight for me were the pickled peppers. Always good! There's not a huge selection at the salad bar, but it's sufficient. The menu offers more than enough dishes. The schnitzel sauce was delicious, my pepper sauce was nicely seasoned, and my partner's hunter's sauce was nicely spiced. The service was friendly, and they have Weihenstephaner on tap, one of my favorite German weissbiers.

The food and service are top-notch. But those who don't yet accept card payments, or, as here, only accept card payments starting from €15, have missed the mark. That's service, too, and simply part of modern life. Just rethink things and offer pure service. I suspect that the 12% VAT reduction from January 1, 2026 won't be passed on here either.

Very friendly service, delicious home-style food, large portions

Delicious food, generous portions, smaller portions are also available. It's also no problem to get a different type of potato with your meal. The salad from the salad bar is great; you can choose whatever you like. The friendly staff makes it perfect.

Delicious food, very friendly service. Everything was excellent.

My wife and I had a delicious meal. A modern atmosphere. We got something to eat just before closing time. Super friendly staff. The young ladies were very thoughtful. If we happen to be passing through there again, we'd be happy to come back.

Friendly staff Good food Fair prices Can be recommended with a clear conscience 👍👍❤

I happened upon it quite by chance and was not disappointed. The food was excellent, as was the service. I particularly enjoyed the ambiance. I'll be happy to stop by again on my next visit to the Eifel.

I was there with my children. We sat outside. We ordered three Cokes, two Kinder Tillers and a normal plate. The Coke was served extra large, not the normal size, so you pay extra even though you didn't order it. The fries were far too salty for my little daughter and not cooked properly, so my daughter couldn't eat it. For the older children, the schnitzel was far too small and the defects were equivalent to a Kinder Tiller. In the end, it was almost 60 euros despite complaining. They couldn't even get the price reduced by a land charge!!!! I was there years ago and it was already not nice. I thought they would have understood and changed a lot of things. They just want to make money!!! Never again!!!!

Excellent restaurant with authentic German dishes like schnitzel and the like. You can also enjoy the salad bar. The prices are reasonable by Dutch standards.

We visited this restaurant late in the evening and were immediately greeted by a very friendly and attentive server. We were seated immediately without any waiting – a wonderful start to the evening! The food was not only delicious, but also prepared with great attention to detail. You can immediately tell that the food is cooked with passion. The warm hospitality that accompanied us throughout our entire visit is particularly noteworthy. Whether for a late dinner or a relaxed lunch – this restaurant is highly recommended! A truly delicious restaurant with a great ambiance and excellent service. We would love to come back!

Nice restaurant with a German menu. The steak and pork tenderloin were tender. When the weather is nice, you can sit outside. Friendly staff.

We had a delicious meal for a good price. We ordered a burger, which was delicious. The waitresses were very friendly.

The food is good, home-style and very tasty and the staff is very friendly. We would love to come back.

Delicious food, excellent service, and excellent value. The location is also great.

I can't say anything about the food. We stopped there just to have a drink. When we said we only wanted a drink, the atmosphere changed. We didn't really feel welcome anymore, which is rather odd when you have "Cafe" on your doorstep. We drank two Coke Zeros (0.5L) and were charged €11. This had to be paid in cash; card payments are only accepted for orders over €15. We definitely won't be returning.

We young Dutch people had a great time here. You can eat well and have drinks together. We stayed here for two days. The waitresses are very friendly and even speak a little English. Thank you for the service!

Bikers welcome. Good food, excellent service, and reasonable prices.

The steak was supposed to be medium rare – and it was medium rare ♥️ a dream. Perfect crust and super soft inside! The beans had a wonderful smoky flavor 🔥 We'll definitely be back!

I had the salmon and potato rösti at Restaurant Mayer – and honestly, I've rarely had such a good meal. The salmon was perfectly cooked, juicy, and cooked to perfection. The rösti was crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, just as it should be. The flavors were perfectly balanced, no unnecessary frills, simply really well done. Added to that is the pleasant ambiance – not overly fancy, but stylish and cozy. The service was attentive, friendly, but unobtrusive. You feel welcome. The bottom line: If you like good food in a relaxed atmosphere, this is the place for you. I'll definitely be back.

Operation still needs to be learned, otherwise good and pleasant

It was a successful evening. There was everything from schnitzel to Strammer Max. What was really great was that they had a salad bar. Which is something you'd normally expect at Greek restaurants. Super friendly staff, very approachable. A highly recommended restaurant.

Do not go there, they ask extra money for the salat buffet when you pay and do not tell you before !! When you tell them this , they do not react.

First came the food, then the cutlery. My food was on the table first. It took a few minutes for me to get my cutlery, and what was the result? My food was cold. The fillet shouldn't have been so dry. The wine was delicious. The food was also delicious, but it was cold, which is a shame. 😔

We came here for dinner and can only say the service and the food were absolutely excellent. I deducted a point for the ambiance because we sat on the terrace, but even there, the tables were immediately wiped clean of pollen. If we come back here, we'd be happy to come back. Keep up the good work.

Currywurst was delicious but the cappuccino was very thin 😅

Great bowling alley, great food

Hello, we had dinner at Mayer's on May 12th, 2025. We sat outside and the temperatures were just perfect. We once had sauerbraten, pork fillet and schnitzel with asparagus. It was really tasty and good portions. We had our dog with us and he was welcome. It was a beautiful evening! We'll be back. Anita & Thomas

Luckily reserved. Delicious food (Wiener schnitzel was buttery soft. Service was friendly and quick. The only thing I missed was a drinks menu. All in all...highly recommended

A lot of vegan options, which is great! Staff is super friendly as well, and everything was quick.

We celebrated our wedding here and are grateful for the delicious food, friendly staff, and cozy atmosphere. Many thanks to the amazing team!

Super delicious food, friendly and competent staff, and a lovely atmosphere. I would definitely have my celebration with Markus and his team again. Please keep up the good work! You did a fantastic job organizing our wedding :)

Great restaurant, very nice staff, delicious food. Just great.

All we can say is - always happy and always delicious. The offering is convincing and the ingredients - very often regional - are super fresh. The regional and seasonal cuisine still has a certain something! Markus Mayer's team is always in a good mood and takes great care of the guests' well-being. Eating here is always a nice experience! Thanks !

Super super delicious food, great service, plus an extra greeting (dessert on the house) from the kitchen, great value for money! Always happy again and we recommend it! :) Dog friendly 🫶 Oh, and if there’s anything left over, they’ll even pack you some food 😊

The chef had fried the pork fillet to death, the side dishes were lukewarm, the dessert crepe with orange and ice cream left a lot to be desired and it was overpriced...the only positive thing is the staff...reminds me more of a canteen and you have to pay extra at the counter

Great service, great food and a cozy atmosphere. We'll definitely be back!

Went there just before lunch break. Very friendly staff that didn't cause any stress despite the shop being closed. Delicious food (had the vegan burger, tortellini and a schnitzel). The staff was very attentive, friendly and quick. Can highly recommend it, thank you very much!

Very nice meal with six adults and two children, the service was very polite and friendly. TOP.

Disappointed with the expensive Christmas buffet (approx. €45 per person). Short version: Despite asking several times, I didn't get a drink menu. So we didn't know how expensive the drinks were. There was nothing Christmassy about the atmosphere at all. On the contrary, we thought we were sitting in a factory canteen. It would have been nice if there had been something Christmassy at the Christmas buffet. Food was only lukewarm. And the vegetables.........well. At a price of around €45, I have different ideas about quality. But the best thing was when we were asked at 8:02 p.m. if any of us would go to the buffet. Please note, we were only there at 7 p.m. Conclusion: once and never again

Went to Essen with our coaching team for the end of the year - highly recommended! 👍

German cuisine, friendly service

We went to Mayer's with a reservation for a family celebration with 11 people. It took a quarter of an hour before we could order drinks and another 30 minutes before we were allowed to order food. Some of the food was too salty, the steaks were done wrong, the fried potatoes weren't crispy and some of the drinks were stale. The ambience is rather bleak, a large hall with conference tables. But the service made a lot of effort.

We were there with a group of 10 people. Our drinks were only taken after about 30 minutes, and the food took another 30 minutes. One meal was completely forgotten. The fried potatoes were not crispy and the steak that was ordered well done was less than medium. No recommendation to eat here

I feel very comfortable as a guest at Mayer's. The service is quick and very nice. The food is very tasty, there is a star deduction for the food because my burger bun was unfortunately very dry.

I had the 300g steak with Champion, medium......top fried, to the point, very tasty👍

Update zu meiner letzten Bewertung: Habe heute Abend einen veganen Burger (Green Hero…) der absoluten Spitzenklasse zu einem super Preis gegessen! Geschmack pur! Toll, Familie Mayer

Four of us visited the restaurant on a Saturday evening. Luckily we had reservations. Because the team had several celebrations in the house at the same time. We didn't notice the slightest thing about it. Which is really a huge challenge. The service team was perfectly prepared and we felt welcome from the start. The young team was always ready and convincing across the board. The dishes, whether in the weekly menu or menu, are excellent in terms of selection, quality, temperature and taste. The Monchau mustard soup, wild ragou and crème brulee from Tonkabone were delicious. At the end there was a house schnapps and coffee. Anyone who comes to Schleiden, whether for business or pleasure, should plan a visit to the great restaurant. By the way, the price/performance level is also top. Thank you for the lovely time.

Service, food, everything was great.

Very nicely located, large bright rooms, nice atmosphere

The food and service were great, it wasn't the last time we ate here!

Very nice and cozy restaurant with top service and delicious food. We called shortly before closing time and asked if we could still come by and the kitchen was open. That wasn't a problem at all and the staff stayed longer. Gladly again!

We had a family celebration at Mayer's and it was just great! The food was super tasty and everyone really enjoyed it. The waitresses were attentive and friendly. The atmosphere was great and suited our event perfectly. Children are very welcome there. What is particularly positive is the good agreements made in advance, which made everything run smoothly. There really wasn't anything negative to say. We can highly recommend this restaurant!

We celebrated a wonderful family celebration in the Mayer's restaurant and I can only report positive things. The arrangements in advance were very uncomplicated and reliable, which took a lot of stress away from us. At the celebration itself, everything was perfect: the service was consistently friendly and attentive. The food tasted excellent. All tables were served food at the same time and all 34 people were able to eat almost at the same time. The overall atmosphere was pleasant and uncomplicated, which contributed to an unforgettable day. We had the whole large hall to ourselves, which was just great with children. Many thanks to the entire team for the great support!

We still managed to get a seat on a busy evening, so we were both able to eat a delicious wiener schnitzel!

I can recommend it to anyone who prefers good Rhenish cuisine!! The service is top! You don't have to wait long for your order. The atmosphere is cozy, even if it seems a bit “cramped” at first glance. And the food is just great!!! We would love to come back 😊

Friendly, accommodating and delicious. The restaurant as well as the party service are highly recommended. Thumbs up!!!

Excellent food Fast and friendly, attentive, correct service

For more than 20 years we have been enjoying food at Mayer's, celebrating parties and end-of-trip meetings. We are once again very impressed with the high standard. The friendly service and good parking facilities do the rest.

We had a spontaneous meal there today. We were greeted and served in a friendly manner by a young team, ordered two versions of Jägerschnitzel, a senior portion and a normal portion, which was really great, but the best thing was the quality of the meat and the sauce was fried separately in the pan and the great breading couldn't soak. A great meal where price and performance match in all respects. Thanks to the whole team of you.

Excellent schnitzels. Fresh and delicious. The portions are almost impossible to manage. Very nice service.

Very good restaurant, food is rich and very tasty. The boss and staff are very friendly and accommodating. We were there with 4 people and would love to come back. Highly recommended!

We were eating there with a hiking group and had only reserved the number of people. Everything worked perfectly to our satisfaction. The service was A1, absolutely friendly and obliging and the food was very tasty. With a group of 18 people, we ordered many different dishes and everything was served immediately one after the other. The restaurant serves home-style cooking and I would go there again at any time.

good cuisine, price performance is right. If you sit at the front of the hall it is unpleasantly loud and you can no longer have a proper conversation

We celebrated our wedding at Mayer's, we were super happy with everything.

Very tasty, home-style food, attractively served, good quality!

Decided to eat there purely by chance while driving past. Were received very friendly. The staff was very friendly, the food was very good and more than plentiful. We were offered to pack up the leftovers. There is a seasonal small additional card. Very nice selection. Something for every taste. We'd love to come back.

Die beste Schweinshaxe nördlich vom Kloster Andechs! GANZ SICHER!! Sauerkraut vom Feinsten und ein himmlischer Kartoffelpüree! Was will Mann/Frau mehr

We were there with a group and were allowed to order the food in advance by email. That worked wonderfully. The food was completely fine. Good standard. The service was very courteous and friendly. We were separated from the large group, which was completely fine.

Sehr gutes Essen ,freundliche Bedienung Schöner Abend verbracht, Gastfreundlichkeit wird groß geschrieben. Portionen sind groß

Good and tasty food. Something for everyone.

Once again we had a very tasty meal, we have been regular guests for many years. We have never been disappointed here and the selection of dishes is extensive, supplemented by seasonal offerings. Fresh fried mushrooms, various sauces or the beans for the perfectly fried steak, everything tastes simply delicious! The service is very friendly and quick, reordering is no problem at all. We look forward to our next meal at Mayers!

Food tasted great, we thought the fries were very salty (we use little to no salt anyway), I forgot to mention this when ordering. Furthermore, a comfortable seat for an affordable price.

Good menu with tasty food. Everything was to our satisfaction. I had overlooked the note in the menu that the salad had to be ordered at the buffet. When paying, I asked the owner to let the staff select the salad at the buffet when ordering He reduced the dishes by the amount of salad, I thought it was great and I would happily come back

Tradition, reliable good quality with always new aspects, loving friendliness, great personalities, beautiful ambience, delicious food, outstanding events. We love coming back again and again.

I celebrated my 50th birthday at Mayer’s in Schleiden. From the planning to the celebration, everything was perfect. We were 60 people. Delicious food, great team and great boss! Thank you very much for the successful celebration! H. Fischer-Schneider

I can't say anything about the quality of the food. Unfortunately, you can only pay with a card if the meal value is over 30 euros. Since I wanted to eat there alone and 30 euros worth of food was too much for me, I left again. A pity. Maybe that will change someday. Then there will definitely be more stars. 3 There was because the staff was very nice.

Über die Qualität des Essens kann ich nichts sagen. Leider kann man dort erst ab einem Essenswert von 30 Euro mit Karte zahlen. Da ich alleine dort essen wollte und mir Essen im Wert von 30 Euro zu viel war, bin ich wieder gegangen. Schade. Vielleicht ändert sich das ja mal. Dann gibt es bestimmt mehr Punkte. 3 Gab es weil das Personal sehr nett war.

Super fast service, very tasty 😋 food and beautiful location!

Super delicious local cuisine with many specialties. And super friendly service. Recommended!

Everything is very good. Just like always.

Everything was perfect, from the reservation to the service and of course the food. We are here as holidaymakers and would like to come back a second time during this time We are convinced. Keep it up:)

Friendly service, very good, high quality food selection. Gladly again.

Landed here unexpectedly. Motorcycles in parking lots always invite you to stop. Good food. Met fellow riders always good atmosphere. One to remember when you drive towards the Eifel.

It all took a little longer because there was still a company there, but the food was very tasty

Excellent food for a reasonable price, if it is not busy you will be helped quickly. Friendly staff, nice restaurant and nice terrace.

We celebrated our wedding there and were thrilled from start to finish. From the planning to the preparations to the celebration, everything was thought of. We received very good advice from the owner regarding the buffet as well as the design of the hall. The food was excellent, everything was as discussed and served to the minute. The service was top. Very attentive, not intrusive at all, friendly and quick. The location was very well designed for our celebration and offered enough space for the guests, the DJ and the large buffet. We can only recommend everyone to celebrate their festivals here. We really enjoyed ours.

Super great food, very nice staff, we go there very often and really enjoy it.

What should be positively highlighted are the friendly service, the good location of the restaurant (free parking), the cleanliness of the location and the sufficiently large portions. In terms of taste, the dishes are okay, but they don't stand out in a particularly positive way. The fries are too salted. The schnitzels are served with boring ready-made sauces and flavor enhancers. The burger is probably not even 100% beef and tastes average at best. Plus an inconsequential salad buffet. In addition, an extra 70 cents are charged for a mini bowl of ketchup/mayo. Conclusion: If you don't expect too much, you can eat well here and be full. However, the comparatively high prices (schnitzel €19.50, burgers from €17.50) are incomprehensible despite inflation and a VAT increase. Maybe that's also a reason why you can't find the price information on the online menu ;-) As a family or company, I wouldn't necessarily come here again. Due to the nice terrace, the restaurant is very suitable for bikers and travelers.

Very nice restaurant with very friendly staff. The food was very tasty.

Great food and service. I had the Spargel Schnitzel, everything was cooked to perfection.

Delicious food and friendly service.

Courteous, friendly staff, very nice innkeeper, great food! We felt very welcome.
