Notre's Café & Restaurant Inselschlösschen am Hariksee in Niederkrüchten

Opening hours leave much to be desired, terrace not always accessible

Very tasty and a lovely atmosphere! The chef is incredibly friendly and was very accommodating to our clients with disabilities, offering smaller (and cheaper) portions so our guests could finish their meals properly and not have too much left over. He also treated our clients with great kindness. Inclusion is a living example. :-)

I love this restaurant… super delicious and super friendly… simply top.

We were guests for many years but what we received from the service yesterday was really the last. We were simply asking why you now have to pay money for parking when you visit a restaurant as a guest. Well, we accepted it but still noted it, but after the waiter threatened to clarify the matter at the door, something like that really isn't possible as a host and a nice terrace by the lake doesn't bring balance anymore. We will not recommend this restaurant to all of our friends in the future. It's a shame years ago it was really one of the greatest Greeks we knew plus the service staff was extremely friendly.

Absolute recommendation! We were there for mom's birthday and it was just perfect - 15/10! The food was delicious, the ambience right on the lake was fantastic and the service was extremely friendly. You immediately felt comfortable. To top it all off, there was a huge dessert platter - it really couldn't be better! Thanks to the whole team for this unforgettable evening!

Highly recommended price performance is great

A beautiful place perfect service

Tasty food and a good price Reservations are a must

It was tasty, but portions were kept rather small and meat was saved. I know Greek rather differently.

Very attentive and friendly service. Good quality of food. Despite there being a lot of guests, everything went well.

You can always eat good and tasty food here. Very tasty menu's. Super friendly served and visually delicious. Always my pleasure. With a beautiful view of the lake while eating.

A beautiful place in nature, but this is somewhat marred by the food. Salad with the meal (small side salad) is not included, so fries with Suvlaki and Tzatziki were a bit dry. The dessert “Hot Love”, vanilla ice cream with hot cherries, was carelessly decorated with spray cream and the Cherries presented themselves as cocktail cherries, so everything was just sweet. I would like to see more effort put into the kitchen, as a full restaurant still indicates that there must be a level of popularity.

Always delicious cuisine, staff are excellent with a plus. Beautiful view of the lake with walking routes. Very convenient free parking and entry from Autobahn 52. Better to reserve. I especially recommend the Mediterranean plate - shrimp in sauce. The portions are large. The appetizers are excellent, especially the vegetables.

Unfortunately I can't say anything about the food. Because I just had something to drink. But the service was very good, nice service.

Super friendly staff. Ambience just great. The view of the lake is really beautiful and the food is absolutely fantastic.

Very nice staff, great ambience and the food is great! See you next time!

Impossible location! I wanted to have a nice meal there with my mother-in-law! Music terribly loud! When asked to please turn the music down a little, the owner just says…….. yes later. We got up and left!

The atmosphere is fantastic and the staff makes you feel welcome and part of the family. Then they also have food which is fantastic. And the location is breathtakingly beautiful...definitely recommended

After a somewhat bumpy start, our visit on Sunday developed into a very pleasant stay with the potential to repeat. The colorful starter plate, the fillets of lamb and sea bream and the creamy dessert were a delicious succession of high-quality Greek delicacies, and the menu certainly has even more surprises in store for the next meal - but best done during the week rather than at the weekend. It's quite busy for those who prefer peace and quiet. Parking costs €2.50 for the whole day.

As always, top service, top food and top location. Big compliment to everyone.

The environment is beautiful, you can see the scenery outside the window, and the food is delicious😋

The place and location is highly recommended. Friendliness of the employees is 0 If we were a little hungry, we ordered a children's meal. With some struggle we got this with the comment "You are older than 12 and it's just an exception" We wanted to sit at the window... not possible because everything is reserved... but there was no sign anywhere that said it was reserved. Payment EC only possible from 50 €. But those times are really over now.

Great food at a good rate! Only the coffee ☕️ was not recommended! We'll definitely be back!

Lots of delicious food for a good price!

Sometimes a table is only possible with a reservation or waiting time, but it's worth it. Best gyros I've ever eaten! Portions are large and filling. You can have the rest packed up. Simply cozy and beautiful :)

Incredibly delicious food, excellent service, and the location, right on the lake, is absolutely unbeatable. I can only recommend it!

Very tasty food and a top location. Unfortunately we had to wait a little longer for the main course due to the busyness. However, they immediately apologized for the waiting time. Ambience is great and the staff is very friendly. Price performance is also good in most cases, but the prices are generally a little higher. All in all, a very good restaurant that you would like to visit again and again.

Yes definitely. Even with small children. Service very friendly.

Very arrogant demeanor on the part of the boss. After the request for a larger table: I'm not discussing it, it doesn't exist. When we left, we said: Enjoy your meal.

A leisurely meal was not possible given the volume. €2.50 parking fee after 6 p.m. is outrageous. 17.90€ for a gyro with fries and it's totally over salted.

We used to go there often for dinner. After six years we went there for dinner yesterday. Unfortunately, this was also the last time. It's no longer what you knew and hoped for. It is currently only open inside and the noise in the restaurant makes you feel like you are in a train station. Far too loud, a normal conversation at the table is not possible.

Very great staff, friendly and very nice.

If I lived here, I would be here more often. The food is tasty, the price is good and the ambience at the lake is simply great

Sunday with nice weather, too many people, so waiting for a free table, waiting to order food, waiting for the food. The taste perfect, makes up for the wait! The staff is very friendly and helpful.

Impossible operation The gentleman was making fun of the guests and making fun of them asking if a seat was available Guests in front of us were treated this way and so were we ourselves Comments like do you talk in a complete sentence and don't have any questions? The waiter's comment was then what is our health? What's the point of something like that? We left and we won't let ourselves be treated like that and the answer was that it would be better if they left Sunday March 9th around 12:15

My husband and I had steak. In itself very tasty, perfectly cooked... that brings us to the crux of the matter - this was a nice oversight. We weren't asked what cooking point our steak should be. The side salad was forgotten but charged for. After pointing this out, the service lady reacted very incompetently to criticism and replied with "Jajaja". The man at reception was polite and courteous and we were allowed inside when it got cold outside even though the restaurant was very full. You could just tell that the staff was overwhelmed. In my opinion, the quality of the service should not suffer as a result; then you have to increase staff or offer fewer places.

Recommend the starter plate, the restaurant is located on Lake Harik, you can sit outside when the weather is good

Everything was very tasty. Highly recommended

Excellent food, pleasant atmosphere, on the lake

We were in the castle with our friends on February 18th and were treated like a prince. The food was very good and the portions were so generous that we took another package home with us. Thank you for the nice hospitality, we'll be happy to come back.

It was very nice there. The service could be a little quicker. But that's complaining at a high level.

Always happy for a delicious beer

An absolute favorite place! The location of Notre’s Café & Restaurant Inselschlösschen on Hariksee is simply fantastic, especially in summer when you can sit outside on the jetty - a wonderful atmosphere right on the water! From a culinary point of view, everything is really excellent, but the steaks, shrimps and the large appetizer platter are particularly worth mentioning - an absolute highlight! The quality and taste are first class, and you can tell that people cook here with passion. The service is always top – friendly, attentive and warm. No wonder Notre’s is my absolute favorite Greek place! There is also nothing to complain about when it comes to the price-performance ratio - here you get the best quality at fair prices. If you want to enjoy a great meal in a unique location, this is the right place for you. Clear recommendation! Real names added. So that the owner now knows who the review comes from

Very nicely located. Delicious food. Always my pleasure. Very good for families and food on the occasion of birthdays or something...

The restaurant is conveniently located near a hiking trail and offers a stunning view of the lake. We especially love their steaks, which come with a side of salad. The quality for the price is outstanding. The staff are kind and friendly, and even though we don’t speak any German, we’ve always had a great experience there.

Large selection, attentive staff, hardly any waiting times, always happy 😄

Very tasty food, very large portions. Service also very nice!

On January 12th We were there with a large group of 50-60 people for a company party. The drinks orders as well as appetizers including main course orders went quite quickly. Drinks came quickly Starters... (at least at one of the tables) they also came very quickly. Unfortunately, this is where the problems started. Unfortunately, at 5 p.m. there were no longer any starters on the menu. Waiters were poorly informed and still took this as an order. The main courses arrived a whopping 2.5 hours after the first starters. When we asked, one of the waiters gave us a very cheeky answer: "Well, if you're late...", however, we were all together before the agreed time. At least by then all the starters (and alternatives) were finally at the tables. Continuing with the main courses... Unfortunately, all of the dishes were of poor quality. Vegetables cold and still raw (aldene to the bite would have been flattering) Salmon completely raw, the sauce ordered with it was still left at the table, at some point the vegetables were even added and the "new" salmon again about 45 minutes later. All steaks came to the tables undercooked (even though they were all ordered medium rare). Unfortunately, the shrimp were just as overcooked. It's a shame that animals died because of this. The side dishes often didn't match the orders, and when asked, there were once again stupid answers from one of the waiters. The baked potatoes were extremely dried out and the fries were too salty. Sauces, well, are a matter of taste (if you like wholesale buckets and bags). The desserts... Unfortunately not everything is available here again, but this time it was better communicated. Some desserts arrived in a reasonable time, others unfortunately arrived extremely late and those that should have been hot or at least warm were at room temperature at most. One of the waiters was a real ray of sunshine, another was unfortunately very rude and cheeky. The organization clearly left a lot to be desired for us. Smaller tables came and went, giving the impression of being full and happy. The last two years went much better despite the large number of guests in our group. This time too, of course, the booking was made about 2 months in advance. It's a shame that it turned out so disappointingly for us.

We were there with a large group (approx. 50-60 people). Reserved two months in advance... The starter came relatively quickly. At least at a table. If this was STILL available (around 5 p.m.!)...The main course took a whopping 2.5 hours to arrive. When we mentioned it, the waiter got really rude. The ongoing operations, however, were served quickly and changed several times during our "waiting time". The steaks were almost all like leather and well done, instead of medium rare as they were ordered. Other things were burnt and the salmon was served raw. After more than 3 hours everyone else actually had their main course. The desserts were no longer available as the hours passed! .... overall unfortunately very disappointing!

Everyone was super friendly, everything was very tasty and the portions were generous...

Great offer Absolutely recommended Always my pleasure

As always, nice and friendly people

Great restaurant, with very friendly staff who are very concerned about the well-being of their guests. Very tasty food; only the music could perhaps be a little quieter. Otherwise highly recommended as it is very tastefully decorated and in summer you can sit outside by the lake!!!!

Delicious food and friendly service.

Good Greek restaurant at a popular tourist destination, Lake Harik. The food is very good and the price-performance ratio is good. A table should be reserved in advance on weekends or public holidays. The parking lot is not always free and is often full when the weather is nice. The restaurant itself is very comfortably furnished and always worth a visit.

Guests are warmly welcomed here. 🏆

Great location, nice atmosphere, very nice staff and the food was also great

Delicious food 👍👍 good ambience

Invited for my children's birthday, super friendly service, delicious food, will definitely come back

Nice restaurant overlooking the lake, good tasty Greek food.

I would be later than 6pm on Sunday. Then it is very busy

Very nice atmosphere. However, very loud and few vegetarian dishes. The vegetarian dishes we ordered were mostly fried and very oily. This can be done better.

Pretty Greek restaurant with upscale decor right on the water. The souvlaki is well seasoned, but as with almost all Greeks, it is over-fried and therefore a bit hard.

The food was good, the staff was super friendly and attentive. But I think the prices are a bit too high.

Updated on November 29th, 2024 today the old Notres again. The ambience inside and outside has always been great. The food was good again this time. I had a super tasty appetizer plate. My buddy had the very tasty Notres grill plate. Drinks good as always. We'll be back. Updated 10/28/22 I'm disappointed. I often go to Hariksee in Notre. Yesterday again. I have to say that the quality has deteriorated significantly. The salad only consists of a ready-made mix with 2 slices of tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers and actually only one small slice of baguette bread per person. The fries were lukewarm. The Suzuki was a simple meatball with little flavor. I was lucky with the gyro. I got the outer crispy layer, but my neighbor's meat was just fatty and soggy. Half went. It's a shame. Some of the staff didn't come across as very friendly. It was more of a mass dispatch. And the usual ouzo from the house was also saved. The ambience and the restaurant itself are still very good. Now we're going somewhere else in 2 months. Hopefully they'll recover. Previous review of mine: One of the best Greeks in the area. Great environment and nature at Lake Harik. But also always very well attended.

Very friendly waiters. Delicious food, beautifully decorated for Advent

Very nice friendly staff, food was good. Price performance in this day and age is also within reason. We'd love to come back.

Hier waren wir zu 6 zum Abendessen. Das Restaurant liegt direkt am Hariksee , einfach wunderschön. Innen wirkte es sehr gemütlich und warm. Wir wurden freundlich begrüßt und bedient. Die Karte bietet eine reichhaltige Auswahl mit vielen griechischen Gerichten. Wir bestellten Gyros, Rumpsteak, Lamm, diverse Vorspeisen. Alles hat uns ausgezeichnet geschmeckt. Es ist nicht ganz günstig, die Portionen sind nicht überladen, uns hat es sehr gut gefallen. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder.

There were 6 of us here for dinner. The restaurant is located directly on Lake Harik, simply beautiful. Inside it seemed very cozy and warm. We were warmly greeted and served. The menu offers a wide selection with many Greek dishes. We ordered gyros, rump steak, lamb, various starters. Everything tasted excellent to us. It's not cheap, the portions aren't overly large, we really liked it. We'll definitely be back.

We made a reservation at 7 p.m. and only got a table about 20 minutes later. Having ordered drinks there, we were told to move to another table again, saying that he was doing well. I ordered something small for a big price. Fries, some meat and a dollop of sauce (like in a fries shop) should please my taste buds. After a number of delays, the food arrived, hence the + points. The food was okay... Given the prices, I would have liked more crunch in the sauce and a garnish on the plate, but that's a matter of taste. Dessert was canceled (hardly any waitresses came past). In the end it was time to pay... I didn't know that there was a minimum order value for card payment, and the inconvenience seemed to have been forgotten. The ambience was reminiscent of the background noise at Gladbach main station. I didn't feel comfortable or welcome, and inconveniences seem to be acceptable to the guests. I'd be happy to be convinced of the opposite at another time, but today it was an experience for me that doesn't need to be repeated. Update11/17/24: Interesting answer. Because everyone has the change to prove themselves anew and can therefore be better evaluated. However, I see from the owner's answer that you obviously don't expect any further visits from me.... Also a strategy to advertise your company.

Despite having reserved a table, we had to wait in line outside for 20 minutes to get a seat. The starter came relatively quickly - we then had to wait almost 2 hours for the main course. We asked the main waiter twice, both times we were only laughed at without anyone actively asking in the kitchen. After that, service at our table basically stopped. The food was okay - but it had already been cleared away even though not everyone at the table had finished eating. No questions were asked as to whether it tasted good, whether we were satisfied or anything like that. We weren't offered the obligatory ouzo either. Our first visit will also be our last. It's a shame - but if you ultimately don't care about the guests, you don't deserve it.

Despite a full house, service was quick, portions weren't too small, the taste was great.

As an old Greece fan, I was very surprised by the cuisine, in a positive way.

Immer alles Top, ich gehe dort sehr gerne essen. Toller und freundlicher Service, nettes Lokal, tolles Ambiente. Die Keller sind alle sehr freundlich. Die Chefs nehmen sich Zeit für Ihre Gäste. Ich kann das Lokal nur weiterempfehlen.

Cozy and solid restaurant. Very good gyros! The other dishes don't need to hide either. Good value for money without a lot of frills. We'd love to come back.

Live very close by and enjoy eating there with guests. Always friendly service, large selection of Greek specialties. Everything was delicious!! However, there was a lot of noise. Not for people who want to have peace and quiet. But always a visit value .

The food was delicious, the portions were large, I would definitely do it again

Very nice restaurant, delicious food and nice staff. The prices are okay

Enjoy eating here. Friendly, nice atmosphere and good food.

I always find it beautiful at the Inselschlössche. And I like the atmosphere.

We went there as a family for lunch at Notre's Café. Restaurant right on the lake. It was busy and the service was still good with attentive staff. The portions were enough to fill you up. In my opinion the fries could have had more seasoning, but that's a matter of taste. All in all a lovely afternoon. Greetings from Neuss 😁

Very tasty and recommended. However, it would be great if plates for several people were placed on a warming plate. Unfortunately, the food otherwise gets cold quickly. Please think about it.

We've never had our food so quickly. Sunday evening and well attended. And it was delicious too. Gyros with tzatziki, fries and salad for a small appetite felt like a normal portion for 12.90 euros. At the table in 10 minutes, an absolute record. First class. We'd love to come back.

Best in the area!! Mega delicious food, great service, very child-friendly and attentive! We go there regularly, highly recommended!

Nice people serve delicious food right on the banks of Lake Harik. Really nice.

Very nice place with very good food and excellent leadership

A very fast and good service, additionally friendly and support when filleting the fish, Very good steak, despite the high number of visitors, there was hardly any waiting time to order. Gladly again

Just great. I've now gone through the entire menu and have never been disappointed. Great quality, at fair prices. At Notre's you will always receive a friendly welcome and will be happy to serve you - if you wish, you will also be given advice on the choice of food according to your needs. The portions are reasonable and you will be full even if you are very hungry. I have rarely visited such a great, family-run restaurant. Dear Notre’s team: please keep it up!

We were very disappointed in you today. You had to wait because the table was being set, okay. You can still understand it. What I didn't understand was that there were several tables set and they weren't offered to us. No, there were no reserved signs on the tables. Meat really dry. You could really count the fries, they were hard and tasted warmed up. Drink service left a lot to be desired. Were used to better things from you. Shit happens.

Ordered a table for 1 p.m. today, received a very friendly welcome and immediately received a nice table for my mother in a wheelchair. The food came quickly and everyone enjoyed it very much. The staff are always on their toes and very friendly. Would love to come back

The best Greek restaurant in town!

Delicious grilled plate, bread with zatziki beforehand and then a ROUZO. Just this much, we'll see each other again.

Best gyro. The grill plate was highly recommended. Nice location right on Lake Harik. Unfortunately the lakeside terrace was not open on Saturday lunchtime, so we sat on the outside terrace of the restaurant.

Always good food for a nice price.

After being very disappointed with the gyros the last two times, we took a longer break. Today we were there again and ordered a grill plate. Souvlaki and Suzuki were good, as were the fries, but unfortunately the gyros were once again too greasy and not edible. After we told the waiter this, there was no real reaction. The location with a terrace on/by the lake is very nice. In the future we won't eat gyros there anymore.

Simply great, from the reception to the farewell! Superior service, ambience simply totally unique! Very courteous staff from the bosses to the service staff - the dishes are excellent! Recommended at any time!

I only drank a latte, it was delicious

Very good food. Friendly courteous staff. I can only recommend this restaurant.

Very nice location with lots of tables right by the water or a view of Lake Harik. Everything inside also looks great, cozy and well-kept - hospitality in action! The service was "FFF": very friendly, quick and cheerful. Unfortunately, we only had time for two (very good!) coffee drinks, which was a shame because just looking at the menu whetted our appetite - the sight and smell of the plates passing by made our mouths water! If only we had had more time... We will definitely come to Hariksee again and then definitely eat here too!

The restaurant is beautifully located on a lake, the Harriksee. We had reserved a table, but first took the boat across the lake with our friends. Slow but extremely beautiful. Afterwards, of course, I was a little hungry. We got our favorite table and were warmly greeted by name and served just as warmly. The service is simply exemplary, it couldn't be better. The entire staff, including the owners, are extremely attentive and exude a calmness that is second to none. The food came quickly and tasted delicious. I have never eaten so deliciously at a Greek restaurant!! We were here with friends and will definitely come back! Highly recommended.
