Mensel’s Mühle - Gasthof Neue Mühle in Neukirchen-Vluyn

Definitely a must. Hidden a little, so not easy to spot, but the food is extraordinary. The service is fast and the staff super friendly. The portions are big and everything is tasty. If you enjoy nature and quiet, this is the place to be

Very nice atmosphere, friendly staff always happy to come, highly recommended

We've been to the Neue Mühle several times; especially in the summer, it's a nice place to sit, the food has always been good, and the service friendly. Unfortunately, after our last visit, we can no longer confirm either of these things. 1. The atmosphere inside at 6:00 p.m. on weekdays was like a retirement home. Silence. No music. A table of two ate quite silently in the large room. Absolutely no dinner atmosphere. And definitely too empty. 2. The menu seemed neglected; the leaflets were dirty, some were lightly copied, and it seemed carelessly done. Well, there are worse things, but ultimately it fits the overall impression. 3. As a table of three, we ordered one starter for everyone and three main courses. Nevertheless, the starter was completely forgotten. The waitress noticed it at some point after we had already had our main courses. Weak, very weak. As I said, it was hardly busy. If you can't remember four things, work with a notepad. We were offered to bring them later, which we declined. Who likes to eat their starter with/after the main course? The main courses were mixed: The classic tarte flambée was predictable, but significantly overpriced: €17 for a handful of flour, some bacon, half an onion, and a tablespoon of crème fraîche – they didn't just charge four for the cost of the food! The spare ribs were okay, a bit dry around the edges, overall not a highlight. The goat salad was okay, so you can't expect much surprise there. 4. For the forgotten starter, we ordered a dessert: grilled dumplings. The dessert arrived: two dumplings of the aforementioned and a dollop of cream next to them. We thought so. We tried cream, it was sour! Definitely sour. We asked what it was exactly, whether it was cream or perhaps something with lemon or yogurt. The waitress couldn't say, she'd have to ask the chef. No sooner said than done. She came back and said it was beyond comprehension, as the chef had already replaced it. Aha. So the chef doesn't really know what's supposed to be on the plate either? But he just happened to clean the old container (I assume a cream dispenser with a cartridge)? The waitress then probably tasted the cream herself and reported again, "No, the cream isn't sour, it's something else." Another "Aha." No chef with any taste would think of garnishing grillage with cherries with something sour like yogurt. And if they did, they would probably know. The cream was simply "off." It shouldn't happen, but it did. What's absolutely unacceptable, though, is the waitress's reaction. Pretending everything's fine and we just don't like/want it. No apology, nothing. With such an overall experience, I expect, first, a friendly understanding from the waitress, and second, at least a coffee on the house or something similar. By the way, the rest of the dessert was truly one of the worst desserts I've ever eaten. It had nothing to do with grillage. It was a bit of melted ice cream with amaretto cherries, but mostly cheap chopped chocolate, cold and hard, of course. After one spoonful, my entire mouth was full of chopped chocolate...Not tasty! But that's just a side note; tastes may differ. In conclusion, we won't be visiting the Neue Mühle again for a while; there are much better options in the area, given its current performance.

Super friendly service, very nice location and the food was also great.

Always happy to come back, nice atmosphere, friendly staff, delicious food

This restaurant pleasantly surprised me. I haven't been here in a long time, but recently I had a very positive experience. My schnitzel was very good, and so was the price. However, the service seemed a bit rushed. The ambiance in the restaurant is lovely, with its old pictures of chapels. It's also a great stopover for a bike ride.

The food was truly delicious and plentiful. The homemade olives were simply superb. The main course was fantastic. The sorbet with sparkling wine was unfortunately just a small ball in a glass... Value for money was okay. The stress was noticeable in the service. There aren't enough parking spaces for the number of tables. Note: 1. If you promise guests small gifts when they leave a review, then you should keep your promise. 2. Service is a service, something you should/must live by. You can do it gladly for the guest. It's not about the guest cooperating. Nor is it something you demand. The owner's comments directed at the guest have no place here. As a guest, I couldn't "think along" or "cooperate." I just want to have a good time. The waitress was just as sparing with comments. Of course, you can't take everything on a gold scale, and if the place is full, we all understand. But as a guest, I'm not a person who takes orders.

Family celebration yesterday. Food was amazing. Ambiance and service at its best. Very satisfied overall. Professionals are at work here. :-))

Nice ambience for cyclists nice stop.. Also highly recommended for family celebrations. Always happy☺️

We haven't eaten at Mensels Mühle in the last few months because we've been familiar with the menu for a long time. Today there was a surprise for us with a new card. The food was again very tasty, decoratively prepared and rich. The new menu will now inspire us to dine at Mensels more often. I'm already looking forward to next time.

This is our third time here and we really like it. A nice and tasty restaurant in a cozy place.

All in all it was nice, the service is friendly and it's nice to sit outside here in the summer. The food was terrific. I can only recommend it.

Everything was great! We'll be back!

I can't believe I didn't know about this insider tip before!!! It's incredibly delicious here, great menu, fantastic wine and such a nice service and atmosphere! Thank you very much 🙏🏻 We'll be back 👍🏼

After far too long, we're finally here again today as part of a birthday party for a big birthday. And even after 2 years, still great ambience, excellent service and delicious food! It was a pleasure to be a guest there today! Thank you!

Nice service. Tasty food. Beautifully prepared plates. Do their best to please the guest. Too bad for me that the whiskey was gone. 😉

Beautiful party location, great and fast team. Everyone was very friendly and helpful.

Delicious Nice staff I'd love to come back

Very cozy, very friendly staff and the food was great! We'll be back!

Nice atmosphere, interesting menu, delicious food, friendly service, recommended.

Once and never again Entire pages were missing from the map and it is different from what you get information about online. When asked, the untrained waitress had to ask the kitchen several times. The boss preferred to smoke outside. Paying €15.50 for frozen tarte flambée with 1 slice of torn salmon that was so dry that it almost got stuck in your throat is really a disgrace Just like for a small glass of non-alcoholic white wine, €6.60😳. The prices on the bill were higher than on the menu. E.g. Minni Creme Brüle for €10.90 instead of €8.90 as on the menu. Half-empty cocktails were happily put away, drinks that we didn't order appeared on the bill. 2 slices of bread with soggy olives and strange aioli for €6.90 is also incomprehensible. Overall, it was uncomfortable sitting in a draft. Mill crust, ox cheeks and cod were ok, but who wants that if the rest isn't right. The specially ordered side salads were also more expensive on the bill than on the menu. I have never eaten such expensive frisee salad. Too bad

A very nice, quietly located restaurant with a beer garden in the fields of Neukirchen-Vluyn with very nice staff and great management. The menu is varied and there are always daily specials that are not on the menu. Highly recommended!!!

All good, always a nice experience.

We were escorted to the table and then waited 10 minutes for the menu. The drinks menu only came after we asked for it. The food was very tasty

Yes, very nice restaurant and delicious food.

It was full and therefore very noisy...I found it a bit narrow, menu not much choice and a bit overpriced but tasty Service was ok although I was forgotten with my water but that can happen. Food was delivered quickly. It should be very nice to have a beer garden in the summer. I'll take a look.

Always my pleasure. The friendly welcome and the operator Lidija Mensel alone are unbeatable. The food is very tasty and what I think is great is that you can also change side dishes to the dishes. Thank you for the lovely evenings

A recommended restaurant where the price-performance ratio is absolutely harmonious. A small but nice map where everyone can find something. And the service was also very friendly and attentive. We will definitely go back.

Well-run restaurant, delicious food with good value for money. You'll be happy to come back here.

Very tasty food in a relaxed atmosphere with excellent service.

Very tasty food in a great location. Enjoy the sunset with a view over the fields, especially in summer.

We have been here since 2007! Been regulars. Even when the two of them were in the Averdunkshof. In the beginning we went there for dinner once a week and also took business friends there with us. With short interruptions, we always go there at least once a month. In the meantime, the food wasn't always so good if the operator wasn't in the kitchen himself. But then we said it too. Since they have been at the mill, we have been there very regularly and have also recommended the location! Because we liked the two, we also overlooked some things. Be it that they forgot to pack up the rest of the knuckle that still had good meat on it and instead threw it away and a number of other “little things”. But what happened to us on Christmas Day was the last straw. On August 4th, 2024 we had reserved table 6 for 5:30 p.m. and when we arrived it was simply assigned to someone else and they wanted to assign us another table. It was not without reason that we reserved this table and the operators know that too. We have never been treated so ignorantly in any other location. We then decided on another restaurant. If Mensels can afford to do without good guests like us. Please.

We ate there on Christmas Day. The service was very quick and friendly. The food was beautifully prepared and tasted very good. You can go wrong with a lot of things, especially with fried potatoes, but these were perfect. The portions were very good, so you will be more than full. In my opinion, the price-performance ratio for the food is very good. However, I can't say anything about drinks because I didn't notice them. The only thing that was a bit suboptimal was that during Christmas, depending on the number of reservations, you had to leave after two hours. But I wouldn't deduct any points for that, as they try to make as many guests as possible happy on these days. So if you haven't been there yet and want to try something new, you should go and dine there.

The food here is always very tasty and the portions are very filling.

Delicious food, good service and a cozy atmosphere.

We had reserved our table in Mensels Mühle MONTHS ago! This was occupied, even though this table was registered for us! The operators have known us long enough and know that we don't want to sit in the large hall because of the background noise. Simply giving the table to other guests is a disgrace! So we called Germendonks Hof and they still had space. 😍Mensels Mühle won't see us again!! Since 2008! we are regulars! First in the Aberdunkshof, when the two of them started their own business, and now in the mill. Back then, we went out to eat there EVERY week to help and handed out flyers. We also eat there later and now at least once a month. We ALWAYS tip well and ALWAYS order before - main course! We consider ourselves to be good guests who don't sit unnecessarily long and don't have any special requests. We eat, pay, leave. That's not how you treat long-time regulars. It's good that we know enough other good restaurants that appreciate us.

Very nice staff Cozy atmosphere

The menu could use a little more variety throughout the year. The same food as 1 year ago

The food here is always excellent, but service usually takes an excessively long time.

Fantastic experience! Unfortunately the starter was forgotten. Too bad! Probably again next time!

We were here in the Neue Mühle for the first time. Very cozy and very nice atmosphere. Food was very tasty and plentiful. The service was very, very nice. Were positively surprised. I can recommend.

Everything was fine, we were completely satisfied

Great restaurant with local cuisine, very good and tasty!

Wir hatten einen rundum schönen Abend mit netter Bedienung, guten Getränken und herrlichem Essen! Da es uns empfohlen wurde, hatten wir hohe Erwartung, die aber in jedem Fall erfüllt wurden. Gerne wieder!

Great food in a nice atmosphere, with friendly, courteous service

Sehr netter Service, leckeres Essen, gutes Preis Leistungsverhältnis. Eine große Portion, ein leckeres Fleisch, ein ausgewähltes Angebot an Speisen und Getränken.

Went there for the first time as a group. Everyone had a variety of dishes and, without exception, everyone enjoyed it very much. New inside. The boss and the entire staff were friendly and really quick. In summer you can also sit outside. Parking directly at the restaurant. A bit bumpy though as there were quite a few potholes. But no matter, everything else was great. It wasn't the last time we were there.

Food great as always I love the atmosphere

The food was very tasty! Ambiance is very cozy. Service very friendly. I can only recommend it!

Once again we had a really great evening with really delicious food and super friendly service! Thank you for the excellent food, greetings to the kitchen! We'll be back anyway!

Always enjoy celebrating with you…..You always have something to eat out of the ordinary……You and your entire team are….many thumbs up 👍 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

There were three of us in the restaurant. The restaurant is nicely located. A large parking lot is available. The restaurant is cozy. I ordered a schnitzel. Everything is freshly prepared and of very good quality. Price performance top. There is something for everyone. The map is very attractive.

We celebrated grandma's 90th birthday here. It was a really nice evening with delicious food. The evening was definitely topped by Michael. Great service, very attentive and very friendly.

Everything is right here. We're having our Christmas party there for the third time this year and I'm really looking forward to it. The staff is really great. Food super tasty. And you are undisturbed. Thank you for everything.

I always enjoy coming to the mill because the ambience and especially the food are wonderful. The good home cooking leaves nothing to be desired. In summer you can eat outside on the large terrace.

We were there for the first time yesterday. I'm one of those people who prefers to give 4-5 stars, so it's difficult for me to rate it like that. On the positive things: - the quality of the processed products is good - the food was basically delicious - Price/performance is reasonable if the negative points are eliminated - the waitresses are friendly - the restaurant is modern and clean - Plenty of free parking spaces available Regarding the negative things: - Even though I ordered a table for seven people and received a reminder the day before after confirmation, no table was prepared for eight people. Accordingly, I had to sit at a table for six people, "in the middle" of "traffic". The service should have reacted quickly. So there was no comfort. Canteen instead of restaurant. This is the reason why service gets two and not four stars. - the menu is small, very small, which is fine if there is a card or a standee for the daily specials. We didn't even get a drinks menu. There were six menus for an ordered table for seven people. The waitress, who was really friendly, mentioned the daily specials (chicken and sauerbraten (?)), but that was more or less lost because she was quite shy and quiet and seven people were talking at once, who weren't even talking at all have noticed that the waitress mentions the recommendation of the day. The service here should be a little “courageous” as it was otherwise really polite/friendly - the breading was pressed on too tightly and it could have stayed in the pan for a moment. In other reviews you can also see that this is otherwise the case. The breading is then softened by the mushrooms and onions. The taste was delicious, but it's a shame when good products don't arrive "perfectly". The fried potatoes could have been a few more, but above all they could have been hot. They were lukewarm. The salad was very good, as was the house dressing. Outside the rating: - Genetive s that are abbreviated with apostrophes trigger me. I will still come back because a place like this deserves a second chance and I would rather support people from the neighborhood than chain stores/chains. I'm happy to give five stars if the errors have been corrected.

The “Rhenish style” mussels were delicious and plentiful. There is also Mühlenkölsch to go with it

Nice restaurant in a somewhat rural location with a pleasant atmosphere. The map isn't too big, but there's something for everyone, I think. Friendly service, the waiting time for the food was absolutely ok. The food itself was all very tasty and regionally produced. We will visit again.

We celebrated our golden wedding anniversary here - in the rotunda of Mensel's Neue Mühle. We were just thrilled! From the location, the decoration, the service, the food - everything was top class! In addition, there was excellent advice from the Mensel couple, for whom the constant questions were never too much. A big thank you again at this point!

Hier kann man einen super schönen Abend verbringen, essen schmeckt super und kann ich nur empfehlen. Super schönes Ambiente.

Very friendly staff and great value for money! Only recommended.

Great location, super nice owners, delicious food. What more could you want! We like to come back again and again, especially in summer when you can sit outside with a view of the field. And also highly recommended as a wedding location!

Were in the hall because of our daughter's wedding, everything was great, the food was good, including the vegetarian dishes, and the waiters were very friendly. Everything worked out and we were very satisfied.

We were here for the first time. The first impression wasn't so nice. Everything outside is old and dirty. The menu selection was limited but the food was delicious.

Wow! It's also a feast for the eyes. Everything is prepared with heart and presented on the plates. Finally!! It's been a long time since I found a restaurant where everything is just right. Top prices, you get good quantities served on the plates, very tasty, every plate got a WoW 🤩 from us. Had starter, main course and dessert. Dogs are also welcome and find space under and next to the table. We look forward to the next time. Would choose it as a regular place. A greeting to the kitchen. Thank you very much.

Super delicious food and great service!

Great location! An extremely great team! We felt very comfortable! Great service! Thanks alot!

Delicious food, friendly service and you sit in nature. What more could you want?

Very nice atmosphere, friendly service and always very good food to take away.

A very nice restaurant, very friendly, nice staff. Food was great. I can only recommend it 👍

One of the best restaurants I've ever been to in a very quiet environment. Rustic and cozy outside. The owner is very accommodating and personable. Parking spaces available directly in front of the restaurant. The selection of food is good and not run of the mill, plus seasonal dishes. Everything was very fresh and a visual and taste highlight. Price a little above average but appropriate for the quality. Happy to come back 😊

Great cozy restaurant with excellent quality. We love coming here and have only eaten well so far. Attention is paid to regional and fairly sourced products. This is important to us.

Always come there! Food, service is fantastic

Simply good food in a very nice location! Highly recommended!!

As a wedding officiant, I had the pleasure of holding a wedding ceremony in the outdoor area of ​​the new mill in June. It was lovingly prepared and the wedding couple was very satisfied. I'll be happy to have a wedding there again! 😊 Best regards Kristin

Very nice young waiters. Good food and a nice atmosphere. The panfish is highly recommended. Simply great.

Great restaurant. We always enjoy being here.

Delicious food and great ambience. Unfortunately, the service can still be improved.

We stopped here spontaneously on our bike tour today and what can I say? Simply great and delicious! The atmosphere, even outside, is very appealing. The food: I had steak and salad, my husband had the mill crust and we were so full and happy, really great! Plus the really super nice service - great! This is how we imagine a perfect visit to the restaurant!

What a lovely, tucked away restaurant!! In our search for something to eat we ended up here... exceptionally good food, super attentive staff... for me it will go into the "I'll go there again" archives 👍👍

As a service provider, I can only highly recommend this restaurant, great boss, great boss, perfect staff, all wishes are fulfilled and the food is also terrific If you want to celebrate a wedding or a birthday or another celebration here, you are in really good hands The beer garden is also highly recommended, a look at the fields, the bike parked at the edge of the field and a delicious beer and a good meal Perfect for me, highly recommended!

Very friendly staff paired with very tasty food 😀I can only recommend it

Hier stimmt alles. Qualität, Service, Ambiente innen, wie aussen. Wichtig, regionale Produkte, frisch und gut. Preise gut angezogen. Egal.

Great restaurant with a great ambience and delicious food. Everything was fresh and homemade. Eg Dressing schnitzel and applesauce You could tell that the chef enjoys his job and only uses fresh ingredients. .

Hier kann man hervorragend Essen die karte ist zwar klein Aber die Qualität umso besser wir kommen gerne wieder weil alles gut ist

Spent a very nice evening with friends with good food and friendly service. We'd love to come back.

Had a funeral service with coffee and cake. At the beginning the coffee cups were missing. Therefore only 4 stars.

Excellent food, very tasty salad. Waiters quick and friendly. Top local!

Good service. Great food. Always worth a visit. Nice atmosphere.

We went to dinner at the mill this evening, stopping by quite spontaneously on the way home. Scenically attractive, great outdoor area, cozy atmosphere, top service, great value for money and the food was great. We are totally thrilled and would love to come back 👍👍👍

Delicious seasonal cuisine :-), good products (meat, fish, vegetables) at a good price-performance ratio. We always like to come back.

I was here for the first time. I was very positively surprised, everything was very good. There was enough parking space for the house and the location is also very good. We were warmly welcomed and shown to the table. It was surprisingly full for a Monday evening. The food was on the table quickly and very, very tasty. I had the chicken burger. My companion had sauerbraten with potato dumplings and red cabbage. Both were really very good. We'll be back. My recommendation 😋😋😋

We wanted to pre-book a table and wrote to the Gasthof Mensels Mühle. The answer we received was that the reservation would be checked and we would then receive a confirmation. We have been waiting for confirmation for 14 days!!

Beautifully located restaurant with a terrace and very good food. Highly Recommended!

A quick stop with the hiking group!

Super delicious food, beautifully prepared and always very fresh. We love coming here spontaneously to eat delicious food. The service is also friendly and attentive, even if it is sometimes understaffed - but this is not necessarily due to the restaurant but to the general lack of staff in the industry. There is 1 star deduction because the furnishing style is not comfortable enough for me personally. There is still room for improvement here.

There were 4 of us and the starter was really tasty, homemade bread and delicious mixed starters. The main courses were all very good, the service was great, all requests were fulfilled quickly and with a smile. We felt very comfortable there and were completely thrilled.

Tolles Ambiente. Unaufdringlich, aufmerksamer, freundlicher Service. Topp Qualität der Speisen. Frisch und lecker. Etwas teurer, aber jeden Euro wert, gerne wieder. Glückwunsch für so ein tolles Team an den Inhaber.

Lovely place, great food, very friendly staff and owners!

Waren mit 7 Leuten an einem Samstag Abend hier und haben es nicht bereut. mein Mann und ich waren zum ersten Mal hier. Unsere Freunden sind hier regelmäßig, da sie in der Nähe wohnen. Direkt vor dem Restaurant ist ein großer Parkplatz. Wir haben sofort einen Parkplatz bekommen. Es kann aber auch anders sein und man muss an der Straße parken. Das Ambiente hat uns auf Anhieb gefallen. Die Speisekarte ist bescheiden und eher klein. Viel Auswahl hat man nicht. Das Essen selbst war aber sehr gut, frisch und lecker. Man bekommt im Vorwort der Karte vorgestellt, wo das Fleisch und die Beilagen regional her kommen. Viele Menschen interessiert sowas nicht, uns hat das sehr gefallen. Mein Mann hatte das Schnitzel Mühlenkrüstchen, was eher zu den Classikern gehört. Das Schnitzel war super saftig und auch ohne Soße nicht trocken. Ich selbst hatte Rindergulasch nach Stroganoff Art. Preise waren absolut in Ordnung. Werden sicher wiederkommen, wenn wir in der Gegend sind.
