Parkrestaurant Spindelmann - Vlado Sucic in Essen

Everything was very tasty, very good quality, (too) large portions.

Large, bright restaurant with a beer garden.

We eat at Spindelmann once or twice a month. The food is delicious and reasonably priced. The service is top-notch. Everyone is very nice and friendly, and they pay attention to everything. We can recommend this restaurant without hesitation. We always enjoy coming back for dinner. In April, we had our first company party at Spindelmann. The buffet was fantastic. Everyone really enjoyed it. There was a huge selection. The ambiance is also great. We will definitely come back for another company party.

So the current asparagus plate (my visit on April 19th, 2025) with rump steak is out of this world! Never, I'm not exaggerating, have eaten something so delicious! The asparagus, white, super tender (yet with a bite), thick... fantastic! The rump steak with a really sensational seasoning! We were personally greeted by the owner with a handshake! Service 1A, fast, nice, reserved... simply PERFECT! This is another “old class” restaurant that is becoming increasingly rare!

The new boss with a great chef and the rest of his team, Spindelman, has become a star 🌟 🌟 restaurant in Altenessen, for me stars belong on this front door 🥰🥰 This quality, taste of the meat even potatoes, WOW and the food comes hot and fresh to the table, delicious 😋 😋 😋 😋 many thanks to the chef and chefs

Spontaneously had a meal there and was very positively surprised. The food was of great quality, the service was unobtrusive but always there. We will definitely come back for dinner.

Highly recommended, our favorite restaurant...always friendly and accommodating...eat great meat always fried to perfection

Yes, excellent food and attentive service.

Very good food with decent portions at a fair price. The staff is very friendly. Always happy again.

We were in this restaurant for the first time today, very nice, bright atmosphere, friendly staff, Food very tasty, large portions at fair prices. We'll be back. Highly recommended 👍

One of the best addresses in the north of Essen for decades. Although I haven't lived in Altenessen for twenty years, I happened to meet many familiar faces again.

Quick comment on the portions - there's nothing wrong with it - everyone in our group was really satisfied in the most pleasant way - it couldn't have been more - thank you, we'll be back to enjoy

Wonderful food in a pleasant environment

Super, super tasty, super nice service. Are here regularly. Nice to children.

Very good food. Large portions. Highly recommended. Were there for the first time and will definitely come again

Great restaurant, highly recommended!

Very friendly and committed staff. The food and coffee were excellent

Definitely recommended. The food is always very good, which my companions also confirm. Of course we'll be back.

Very tasty and everyone was friendly.

Great location, great ambience and a wide range of food options. We always get our money's worth and really enjoy going there. The service is great and always responds to the guest and their wishes.

Upscale, down-to-earth, delicious food, courteous service. Here the customer is still king 👑

Between nostalgia and modern cuisine? We went to the Spindelmann restaurant with the family once again. Across the board, young and old, most people agree that you can get good food here for normal prices and that the service is friendly and quick. One should not expect any new innovations in international or Balkan cuisine. According to the motto, what worked for the last few years still works today. The food has the necessary quality, even if I personally wouldn't offer canned peas and carrots or corn in salads. Even the nostalgic orange slices have actually had their day, but the food is still tasty. The Djuvec rice is convincing and the Ajvar is also well quenched. The family is usually happy and always likes to come back…

THE BALKANRESTAURANT HAS FRIENDLY ATTENTIONAL STAFF. THE FOOD IS GOOD STANDARD, PRICES IN THE NORMAL RANGE. AMBIENCE IN THE SMALL HALL BETTER THAN IN THE LARGE HALL. FOOD IS ALWAYS PLENTY, WISHES WILL BE FULFILLED. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED AND I WILL KEEP VISITING. FREDI 🙂

It is a very nice, spacious house with nice furnishings. The food was of the quality that we are used to from the owner, our good friend It was a wonderful evening

The restaurant is always very good. For larger celebrations (birthdays/funerals) and even if I just want good and tasty food, Spindelmann is my choice. The food is always excellent and the service is absolutely attentive and yet discreet. I've known the restaurant for decades. I have always been very satisfied with the respective operators and that has not changed to this day. A big compliment for that. Unfortunately, there are no longer that many restaurants in Essen that are recommended for small and large events. But I would be Spindleman at any time book again. Thanks to the entire team. 👍

All staff very friendly and accommodating. Simply great food, again and again.

Great food. Gladly again and again. Balkan cuisine and much more.

Super tasty food and great service in a somewhat old-fashioned atmosphere. Very clean and well maintained, good portions. We were greeted very friendly. I am a very critical eater and had nothing to complain about. The service came often enough without being intrusive. My companion was also enthusiastic about the food and service. I would love to eat here again.

I have known the Spindelmann Restaurant for over 50 years... I found a very old invoice from Spindelmann... wow... what kind of prices they used to be in the catering industry

Cozy restaurant, good food, friendly staff - highly recommended!

Super nice service, very 😋 delicious food. The restaurant has an upscale ambience.

The food was super delicious! The small but perfectly coordinated menu left nothing to be desired. In particular, the pirate skewer I had was fantastic. The service was friendly, the prices were fair, and the restaurant was well attended - a great overall package. I'd love to come back!

Consistently top for decades. The entire team is extremely polite and the food is always very good.

Great food, great prices and great ambience. I enjoy eating there and have never been disappointed

Very good cuisine and very courteous staff, always happy...

Super delicious food and great service in a nice atmosphere

Hats off. Everything perfect. Steak was unique. Staff super friendly.

Very friendly owner couple and staff. Food tasty and rich. Special requests will be fulfilled if possible.

Great home cooking with seasonal dishes. Although I was tempted by the duck leg with red cabbage and dumplings, I decided on the Cordon Bleu (€19.90). My personal insider tip: use the delicious spaetzle instead of the fries. On top of that, to make it a little juicier, order the tasty steak sauce (€3.50) on top. A cool Stauder (€3.30) as a drink is always possible. The extensive side dishes in the form of vegetables and spaetzle were particularly brilliant, which really fills up a man. Really great!!! Please continue like this!!! All in all a perfect price-performance ratio with nice service.

Even though we didn't book a table, we were able to eat there. It was our first time there... very, very good

Here we sat outside and ate well. A nice beer garden. Always my pleasure. If the weather is good, it's worth reserving a table. Although it's very comfortable to sit inside. We like coming here.

Delicious food, attentive staff. Unfortunately, due to the size of the room, it quickly becomes loud.

Very courteous service, very good food, portion sizes more than sufficient (they are good eaters and were full), prices are reasonably priced.

A cozy and very friendly and family-run restaurant with a varied menu and really tasty dishes. All at reasonable prices. The whole ambience of the restaurant and the beer garden are great. Everything is very tastefully decorated and you feel completely at home.😊

Good food at reasonable prices. Friendly attentive service. Full and satisfied, we headed home. Today 'Christmas dinner' with our group. Starters from champions to curry coconut soup. Then from the rump steak, to the farmer's pan, to the 'Damenschnitzel'... Everyone is more than happy and full. Service as always polite and attentive. Back on site in three days and full of anticipation.

Now it's just mediocre. Especially for guests who don't eat pork. Ordered a skewer today and asked to serve a turkey steak instead of the pork medallion. One turkey steak was good and the beef was unfortunately well done. The other piece of turkey was bone dry and sprinkled with a Mediterranean seasoning. I would almost have to assume that it belonged to another dish. Given the prices, you don't have to worry about that. Being served food after almost 20 minutes when the restaurant is full is not a sign of fresh cuisine. Served decoratively is probably not that important, just mediocre.

Super friendly staff. The food is very tasty and well prepared. We like to go there👍

Bullet points. Positive. -Meat was really tasty -Staff was courteous -Abundant food Negative. -Jacket not taken off yet, the menu came -Salad ice cold -Canned peas and carrots -Cauliflower and broccoli mushy with Bernaice -Ordered a table for seven people, we were seated at a six-person table with the seventh plate in front of us -Men's toilet was a disaster with 3 urinals and a toilet for the restaurant's capacity The hammer. -The handle fell off when we ordered a grill plate for 2 people and the connecting screw was now in our food. My uncle bit on it and has had a toothache ever since. -This was reported to staff twice. Answer, I tell the boss. Nothing came from the operator until we left the restaurant. Conclusion. No more spindle man... P.s. I will report the screw action to the health department...

Normally everything is good, but recently it was too full or busy and too loud. A conversation with table partners was not possible. The service was discontinued from 11 p.m.

Very good and friendly staff, child-friendly.Food 👍.

The usual Croatian cuisine with meat, meat and meat. Even the salads contain meat rolls or poultry. Okay, there were also 2 vegetarian, or were they even vegan, dishes. We were also able to take a look at one of these masterpieces, a wonderful selection of frozen vegetables called a vegetable plate (luckily we hadn't ordered it). That didn't really leave me wanting more. We were told about the second dish, the veggie burger, with very little enthusiasm. The whole thing in an ambience that can easily keep up with the Oktoberfest in terms of noise, accompanied by the performances of a loud duo of musicians and their unfortunate string instruments. Be that as it may, if you like a lot of meat, sometimes too dry, mediocre fries, ready-made sauces, frozen vegetables and perhaps don't hear well anymore, you're in good hands here, but if you want to eat well and comfortably, not so much. 2 points anyway because the staff was friendly and everything seemed quite clean.

Great Christmas dinner with colleagues, the food was great and the service too

Such delicious food! The selection is great! Something for everyone! And extremely nice service. You feel good.

We were there today with a group of 16 people to celebrate a family celebration. From the reservation to the end we felt completely comfortable. We were able to design our own little menu and the service was first class. All employees are friendly and accommodating without being intrusive. The timing of the orders was perfectly coordinated so that no one had to wait and we could dine together. We will hold every major celebration there again and again if possible and will also go out for a private meal there in the near future. If you want first-class service, good prices and extremely delicious food, the Parkrestaurant Spindelmann is the right place for you.

The food was delicious as usual, the service was great as always and super nice and child-friendly. We sat in the renovated part, it is very comfortable there. Waiting time is absolutely fine. Extremely satisfied and always happy to come!!!

Very friendly staff, the food was plentiful and very tasty. On-site parking. You immediately feel welcome

World class. Old school - Balkan dishes, plus country promotions, great value for money, quality too.

We celebrated our daughter's baptism in the Spindelmann restaurant and were completely thrilled! We had a fantastic celebration with 25 people and the team really looked after us. The food was simply delicious – every course thrilled us anew! The portions were generous so no one went hungry. The staff was very attentive and always made sure that we didn't lack anything. We would particularly like to emphasize the excellent price-performance ratio. The price was absolutely fair for the quality and quantity of food. The atmosphere in the restaurant is cozy and warm, so everyone immediately felt at home. Many thanks to the Spindelmann team for this unforgettable celebration! We'd love to come back!

We went there for dinner for the first time on 10/2/24. The guest room was clean and comfortable. The service was nice and courteous. The food was tasty and plentiful. We spent very pleasant hours there. Even my companions from outside found it comfortable and recommended. The price was appropriate for the amount of food and drinks. Conclusion: we'll be back.

It was a cozy evening with very tasty food

Great food, steak cooked to perfection, friendly and quick service and at a reasonable price

Super delicious food... and great hall for weddings or other events

As always, everything was very satisfactory. Unfortunately there is no lamb left on the menu

Went there for the first time yesterday and definitely not the last time. Very tasty food, great portions. Very attentive service, friendly boss who welcomed us and exchanged a few words with us. A very nice atmosphere. Even though it was damn crowded, no one had to wait long for drinks. Very happy again!

A very nice resterante The service is very friendly Chef welcomes everyone Personally very clean toilets Don't have to wait too long for the food Very good chef Tastes great because the ambience is good Simply recommended

Very good restaurant were there for a 50th birthday. Recommended

Was in the restaurant for the first time yesterday 🍴. The mushroom schnitzel was very tasty 😋 and the service was great. Happy to come back!

As always, we ate deliciously. Service quick and friendly.

Six of us were there for dinner today. Very good food and super accommodating staff. Food came a little too quickly for my taste. Price performance very good

Very tasty, nice staff, good service, good value for money… The last island in Altenessen!

Unfortunately the building will be demolished

Very nice service, a good selection of dishes at a good price! I would definitely eat here again!

Food and service were very good. Ambience wasn't very good. It was a bit like a train station ambience. Very loud without atmosphere. Everything else was great

Super great cuisine, very tasty, very nice dining room, the terrace is also very appealing and inviting, we would love to come back.

Few vegetarian dishes. So I only had onion soup, but it was good. Otherwise there was a veggie burger and a vegetable pan as well as salad and gratinated sheep's cheese on the menu. Unfortunately, the ambience is a bit too impersonal for me, as we were sitting in a large and therefore quite loud hall.

It's been a loooong time since we've been there. The owner has probably changed, which was immediately noticeable! We were super excited! Great service, the boss goes to the tables and asks if everything is ok. Perfect! The food was super tasty, very filling. We would love to come back…

We sat outside, very comfortable and lots of shaded places. Food very plentiful and tasty. We had Pola Pola and Cevapcici9

They are always super satisfied. I really enjoy eating there. The whole team is courteous and helpful

Great hosts, delicious food and cool Stauder. Always a pleasure

Best grill plate and Swiss schnitzel on this planet!!! Great restaurant and very nice service👍😄.....10 stars

Always good, highly recommended.

Delicious, great attentive service. Very comfortable outside too.

Very good food and great staff.

Today we ate something extraordinary Pulpo (octopus 🐙). It was a pleasure 🤌

The food, the staff and the service are simply fantastic. They respond very kindly to special requests and fulfill them if possible. The prices correspond to the good quality and presentation.

Food is very tasty. Portions are large. Would go there again and again. The staff is very friendly and will respond to your wishes.

Delicious food, parking available, nice staff

A nice restaurant with a good varied menu.

Was in this restaurant for the first time today 🍴. It was super tasty 😋. We'd love to come back. The trip is also worth it. Friendly staff and great atmosphere. Such restaurants must be preserved. 💯%

The food was delicious. The service is extremely friendly and attentive. We've been there several times. We've also celebrated a big birthday there. Everything perfect! We can only recommend it. Keep it up ! We'd love to come back.

Very tasty, but a little loud at times, you have to take that into account!

Super tasty, very friendly service, great ambience, again and again

The three of me visited this “food acceptance point”. I wanted to show my guest from abroad how good and delicious the food can be in a German restaurant. The last time I was so embarrassed was when I peed my pants in elementary school. At first everything went relatively well: we ordered, got drinks and salads. The salads had a strange taste, but at first I thought it was an original recipe from the restaurant. And then it happened! We were served two steaks and a grill plate. As good friends, we shared our food with each other. Well, the only tasty and edible thing was the one made from minced meat. In terms of taste and tenderness, the “tastiest” sirloin steaks were like the soles of my old racing shoes: slightly brown and barely chewable. Half of the steak remained on the plate despite the money paid. Of course my well-mannered guest didn't say anything about it, but the tendon left on the plate spoke for itself. The various flavors of ice cream ordered as dessert were made as sweet as a full spoonful of syrup. Half of it also remained in the sundae. The only things I like there and rate positively are: mushroom, old and friendly restaurant owner. Not recommended under any circumstances.

Nice restaurant. Delicious meals. Have eaten there a few times recently and have always been very satisfied.

Food perfect, tasty, fresh. Prices are fair! Very nice, well-kept staff. All employees very professional! The shop owner warmly welcomes his guests. He always strives to make his customers happy!

We celebrated our wedding there last year. Everything was just great! The boss is super nice, always a kind word, very warm. The staff is great, the food is excellent!!! We are and will remain regular guests!!!

We drove by today quite spontaneously and without a reservation and were lucky to get a table for two people. The food didn't take long to arrive and was very tasty. The service was also friendly and not at all intrusive. We felt very comfortable and would eat there again.

Super nice evening spent with family. The food was really good and tasty for 10 people. The musicians there were really nice that evening.

We got a nice table at short notice (Saturday evening, mid-December for 6 people + toddler) for a birthday. The service was very good, the beer was local, the red wine was excellent and the food was perfect. Since we were all completely satisfied, the bill for the evening was very reasonable. There was a farewell treat for the birthday child and we are already looking forward to a good meal at Spindelmann. We are now warmly welcomed by the owner and he takes a few minutes for a nice small talk!

We really liked the food, the food was very friendly and the staff was very friendly
