Ratsgaststätte in Esens

Nice place! Not too big and the food we had "fish & mustard sauce" was excellent! We will come back!

Very nice service, quick service and very tasty schnitzels, fried in the pan, Fried potatoes like grandma's, we'll be happy to come back.

Portion steht nicht zum Preisverhältnis. Es ist TK-Ware nur aufgewärmt, sowie Fertig Soße aus der Tüte, dazu noch kalt. Die Reibekuchen teilweise verbrannt und die Seniorenportion ist kleiner als die Kinderportion, dafür nur 2,50 Euro weniger des Erwachsenpreises, d.h. doppelt so teuer als die Kinderpreise. Dann wird man noch unverschämt gefragt, ob das Kind wirklich unter 12 ist, lügt der Kunde zur Begrüßung?! Keine Weiterempfehlung.....

We are very happy to have found you. The service is friendly and the food is great. Too bad tomorrow last evening. But we'll be back in October. Many thanks to the Ratsgastätte team. Greetings from the Franco family

We ate here today, super tasty, very friendly staff, would love to come back on our next vacation

Stopped here by chance while strolling. Our schnitzels were great 😋👌 Great selection of dishes, friendly service, great ambience and you can also sit outside. We would love to come back 👏🤗

We had delicious food there two days in a row! The atmosphere is exactly my taste :-) The team is super nice and you immediately feel at home! The food was very tasty and prepared to perfection. The prices are reasonable. Many thanks to the team for 2 wonderful holiday evenings!

Today we visited Esens and had lunch here. We were able to sit down in the nice restaurant without prior reservation. Our four-legged friend was also welcome. The food was very good, the portions were also suitable for hungry guests and the prices were fair. Everything seemed clean and the service was friendly and very attentive. In short, a nice restaurant where you can eat very well.

Wir sind beim Stadtrungang auf dieses Restaurant gestoßen und haben außerhalb der Saison auch sofort einen Tisch bekommen. Die Begrüßung und der Service waren sehr freundlich und aufmerksam. Das Essen war hervorragend sowohl Haupt - als auch Nachspeise. Sehr gut auch die Beratung für das Dessert wg. Allergie. Gute Auswahl an Weinen, Uns hat es so gut gefallen, dass wir auch für den letzten Tag der Urlaubswoche reserviert haben. Auch der zweite Besuch hat unseren sehr guten Eindruck bestätigt.

On a cold evening there were four of us in the council restaurant. When the order finally arrived, we hoped the freezing would stop because the large radiator next to us was freezing cold. The three different fish dishes were very tasty, the (buttery) schnitzel was quite oversalted. It was nice that at least the friendly service radiated cheerfulness and warmth!

If you want to eat very well, this is the first place to go. Guys, try the pancakes... top notch. We have no criticism and could give 10 stars. A culinary delight!!!

Absolutely recommended! We happened to be here as it was open for lunch. The friendly service immediately got along really well with our son. The menu is large, there are so many dishes that sound delicious and are something different than just “normal” dishes. I had the "Schniffelstück", my husband had chicken with spinach and our son had rice pudding. Everything tasted great across the board and was well coordinated. The wait wasn't long and the price was very fair too! We would definitely come again!

delicious food at reasonable prices, attentive service.... and our little wire-haired dachshund was also welcome!

We were there for a family dinner with 10 people. The food was very tasty and was served without long waiting times and the waitresses were very friendly!

Very friendly staff 👍 very nice cozy atmosphere. And the food was great 😋. To be honest, I have never had such a brilliant garlic cream sauce and I can only recommend it.

Very tasty food, large portions, very friendly service, recommended

We've been eating there for three years in a row now. The first time was amazing, the service was great, and the food was great too. The second time we were there, and I got the wrong food. I ordered the Plaice Corden Bleu and got a plain plaice. When I pointed this out, she replied: "There's cheese on it. I can see that from here." When I cut into the plaice, she looked a bit suspicious because, to her surprise, there was no cheese on it. She said she would bring me the right thing. My husband and mother had finished eating long ago, and after about 45 minutes, I finally got my proper food and ate it alone. Okay, we thought. It was great the first time, so we'll try again. Today we were there and waited 20 minutes until the drinks finally arrived. We ordered two Alster 0.5l and one Alster 0.4l, and what came were 1x0.5l and 2x0.4l. When we mentioned it, the waiter said, "Yes, but it's billed like that." I then took the 0.4l. We waited more than 1.25 hours for our food. When we got the bill, what did it say?! Oh, surprise, 2x0.5l and 1x0.4l, as if it was billed like that. Our conclusion now: Even though the food is really delicious, the service simply isn't up to the standard. So, this was our last visit to the Ratsgaststätte Esens.

We got a table the same day. The food and service were excellent. We'd love to come back

There at lunchtime. The food wasn't bad at all. The fish fried very well. Unfortunately things often go wrong in the world. A young man at the counter, great. A relatively young woman in service, very friendly. A slightly older lady in service...complete disaster, that's not how you treat guests. I think this wonderful place lives from tourists. I suspect it was a senior manager. Someone else would get fired the same day. Nevertheless, I wish you all the best for the future and that the fish continues to be cooked so well. All love.

Very good food price ratio good medium measure very nice staff you can stay there well. Would go there again at any time.

Excellent food, friendly and quick service.

We actually ended up here by chance, but we had an excellent lunch. The lamb was delicious, as was the schnitzel. The hospitality was exemplary, even our dog was warmly welcomed.

Very good food...friendly service...

Kale was delicious! Other dishes were also convincing! Service also very nice!

It was really nice and super tasty. Helloween in Esens we'll be back 👍

Very centrally located in Esens, right on the market square. Good, home-style cuisine, very tasty. Also regional dishes (kale, pears with beans). Priced in the middle segment, everything is good. Highly recommended.

Very nice welcome, friendly service and delicious dishes

Highly recommended. Delicious steaks and also a large selection of fish. Would love to come back

Delicious food in this small place.⁷

No. 28 eaten schnitzel + side dishes. Second dish, tortellini...and that was awesome. We've never had such a good slice before.. we'll definitely eat there again. Thumbs up 5 times. Very clean and super nice as if we had always gone there. Can only be recommended.

Friendly and fast service, clean location. Always very happy.

The menu, which was reduced due to illness, revealed further gaps when ordering (around 6 p.m. ("... it's out!")! When it came to the dishes, the schnitzels were either “beaten evenly” or ready-made. After a subtle hint, the soggy vegetable side dishes from the vegetable pancake led to another gap on the menu! The service was friendly and offered a coffee as a small apology.

The food wasn't really good. I had a fish platter with 3 fish fillets. Unfortunately one of them was inedible. And the fried potatoes were cold.

Very tasty food. Extremely friendly staff despite staff shortages. Quality completely fine.

Been there twice. The first time the food was passable. The fried potatoes were greasy instead of crispy, probably half-finished. The pepper cream sauce was only vaguely reminiscent of one. We gave the restaurant a second chance. The waitress managed to forget our drink order during the estimated 10 meters from our table to the counter. When asked about this after about 10 minutes, she told us we were unfriendly. Then not. Bye.

We already dined there in August. Even though it took a little longer due to a lack of staff and absences due to illness, my wife was still very satisfied. I think all guests should have some understanding due to the current situation in the catering industry 😉

Only to a limited extent, the menu on the Internet does not match the much smaller menu in the restaurant. Likewise the opening times. Already at 8:15 p.m. a gentleman came with the bill, he said in a very bitter tone "just so you know, we close at 8:30 p.m." We assume he wanted to watch the international soccer match. We still had half a bottle of wine. We actually left the restaurant at 8:30 p.m.... This is not how you treat guests. Of course, we didn't visit the restaurant again during our stay.

Very good food at reasonable prices. The service was very friendly. We can recommend the restaurant and would eat here again at any time.

We were pleasantly surprised that there are still really good, down-to-earth restaurants with friendly, committed staff and great cuisine. The "small menu" (due to staff shortages) has plenty to offer for every taste and desire and, in our opinion, would be completely sufficient (possibly include a salad plate) - no one needs overloaded menus with 30-40 dishes these days. We were on vacation and ate there several times - always fresh, always great and really good for our taste. In addition to the menu, there are dishes that are written on a blackboard and are particularly recommended. Payment in cash or by card. Plenty of outdoor seating.

Friendly service. Delicious food. We just sat outside. The weather was too nice to be indoors. To recommend. It was always very good, even after countless visits.

Delicious food, friendly service

Very friendly welcome and very tasty food. Currently only a small menu due to a lack of staff but good quality ingredients. Price performance is definitely right and the service is very good.

Despite the reduced menu due to illness, the food tasted great, the Ratsgaststätte is definitely a recommendation for anyone who is hungry

I had the pleasure of visiting the Ratsgaststätte and I can only say positive things! The atmosphere is inviting and cozy, perfect for a relaxing evening with friends or family. The staff was extremely friendly and attentive, which made the visit even more pleasant. The menu offers a great selection of regional dishes that are freshly prepared and delicious. The homemade mayor schnitzel is particularly recommended – it was simply heavenly! The selection of drinks is also impressive. The service was quick and efficient, so we never had to wait long for our orders. Overall, my visit to the Ratsgaststätte was a completely positive experience. I can only recommend it to anyone who is looking for good food and a pleasant atmosphere. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

Food was ok, Because our impaired child was supposedly too loud, my wife was expelled from the restaurant and had to sit outside with the child. Other guests showed understanding for the child but not the owner. Will never enter this store again.

Delicious ! We'll come back when we're nearby 😉

Wer in Ostfriesland Urlaub macht und Esens besucht MUSS UNBEDINGT der Ratsgaststätte einen Besuch abstatten. Das Essen dort ist unglaublich lecker, die Portionen vollkommen ausreichend und der Preis ist vollkommen in Ordnung. Unserer Bedienung Sarah möchten wir hiermit nochmals herzlich Danke sagen. Sehr Aufmerksam und freundlich...... Wenn wir wieder hier oben sind ist der Ratskeller auf jeden Fall eingeplant. Liebe Grüße, die vier Düsseldorfer

Super nice to eat! Great service, super friendly and the price performance is also super tasty!

Great local. Nice service who took great care of the children. We catered to every extra request. Food was absolutely top notch. Children's plates are also great. I recommend it to anyone traveling in Esens.

Very tasty food and friendly service!

Friendly, familiar and the food was great

Das Restaurant ist ansprechend eingerichtet, wirkt sauber und die Bedienung war sehr freundlich. Das Essen (Schnitzel) gut und reichlich.

Cozy atmosphere, delicious food, very friendly staff. Definitely worth a visit.

Good food at a reasonable price

We and my family received a very warm welcome. The service was very courteous and attentive. The ambience was surprisingly very artistic and modern, which you wouldn't have guessed given the name. All in all very beautiful and lovingly designed. The dishes were delicious and more than reasonable in terms of price/performance 😊 We would be happy to come back at any time..

Nice and modern atmosphere, very friendly service and really delicious food. We were very satisfied and found the price-performance ratio to be reasonable.

Very pleasant atmosphere. Food Very good. Staff very friendly.

Super tasty and moderate prices. Service super friendly. gladly again. If you like garlic, the sniffing piece is highly recommended.

It is freshly cooked. The schnitzels were really great, as were the side dishes and salad. Kitchen offers fish, meat and vegetarian dishes. It is good, middle-class and modern. The service was very friendly and loving in dealing with our daughter. The food came quickly despite the large group on the upper floor. The price-performance ratio is also right. The overall grade should be much better. A reservation is recommended.

Sehr nettes Restaurant, mit außen Gastronomie, liegt gut gelegen in der Innenstadt! Innen auch sehr gemütlich und sehr netter Service! Essen war auch sehr lecker und preis Leistungsverhältnis angemessen, kommen gerne wieder

We have eaten here several times as a family. The schnitzels are always great, the service is quick and friendly. The restaurant is definitely child friendly. Children's special requests are met without any problems. Happy to come back!

We had a very tasty meal... thank you

We felt very well looked after in the restaurant, the food was really good and the service gave us a very friendly welcome and polite service A bright, nicely decorated restaurant ....I can recommend it!! ...that's it, stay healthy and happy. Greetings Veit

Such really nice staff, very accommodating. Was a lot of fun. And a really great meal. Always my pleasure.

We ate very well after our bike tour and were served in a friendly and humorous manner. Thank you for the lovely evening.

We were looking for a restaurant for lunch on Good Friday. We weren't disappointed. Food and service very good. We'd love to come back!!!

Centrally located in Esens on the market square, you will find this restaurant with comfortable seating on the ground floor. Good home cooking with lots of fish and meat dishes. There is also vegetarian options. Friendly service.

Sehr nettes Personal. Das Essen wurde gut und sehr schmackhaft und frisch zubereitet. Die Portionen sind reichlich.Sehr zu empfehlen.

A restaurant where you can eat really well. The different schnitzel variations are highly recommended.

Very pretty restaurant, inviting from the outside. Friendly, friendly service and there's nothing wrong with the food... We'd love to come back...

Great service, delicious food...says it all

An upscale restaurant with a great ambience, top menu, top food. Have already reserved for next time. We recommend.

As always, great food and top service as usual, highly recommended

Ok then Max 2 stars, schnitzel week... schnitzel week.... all year round... sat outside in the summer and billed at 9 p.m.... there was nothing more 👍 How do I do that? Because I can and I can always remember where I was. With you I just want to forget.

Delicious food, very nice and attentive service. Moderate prices, wide selection of dishes. Unfortunately not a cheap lunch option. Have been there twice on vacation now and are very satisfied.

Am Markt findet man die Ratsgaststätte gegenüber vom Rathaus. Wir waren spontan da zum Abendessen und wurden nicht enttäuscht. Es ist ein Lokal mit speziellem Ambiente. Die Bedienung ist sehr höflich und zuvorkommend. Das Essen war hervorragend und sehr lecker. Auch das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis war perfekt. Die Sauce Hollandaise zum "Bürgermeister"-Schweineschnitzel war in einer extra Schale, damit die Panade nicht aufweicht, was sehr vorbildlich ist. Fazit: Wir kommen das nächste Mal sehr gern wieder und empfehlen die Ratsgaststätte.

Freundlich Essen gut reichlich und günstig Personal aufmerksam

Super Essen und sehr freundliches Personal. Kommen gerne wieder. 👌🏻

Wir waren vom Essen wie auch vom Service begeistert

Wir waren begeistert. Das Essen war reichlich und sehr köstlich. Die Dame, die uns bedient hat, war superlieb und wir haben zusammen viel gelacht. Fazit: wir kommen wieder!!!!

Uns hat alles sehr gut gefallen. Als wir da waren, hätte der Service auch gerne fünfeinhalb Sterne bekommen dürfen.

Sehr freundliches Personal sehr gutes Essen

Zufällig am 12.10.23 hungrig bei euch vorbei gekommen. Der lustige Spruch auf der Tafel vor der Türe machte uns neugierig. Wir sind nicht enttäuscht worden. Bedienung sehr freundlich und flink. Vom Essen waren wir sehr angetan - lecker und reichlich.

Sind spontan mit unseren zwei Kindern (6J und 5J) dort zum Abendessen gewesen und wurden nicht enttäuscht. Es war sehr lecker und es gab eine gute Auswahl an Kindergerichten (endlich mal!!).

Obwohl uns ein Tisch zugewiesen wurde wurden wir auch nach 30 Minuten nicht bedient. Eine angepriesene Speisekarte wurde uns nicht übergeben, deshalb sind wir auch gegangen. Gäste die nach uns kamen wurden umgegend bedient. Eigentlich 0 Sterne doch die gibt es hier ja nicht

Pannfisch ist einfach nur lecker, die Scholle ist auch nicht zu verachten, hinzu kommt noch die nette Bedinung! Weiter so

Wir haben reserviert, ich kann aber nicht sagen, ob es unbedingt nötig ist. Die Bedienung war "nordig" freundlich. Das Essen war ganz gut, die Portionen hätten etwas größer sein können für den Preis. Vielleicht bin ich auch zu streng, da wir einen Tag vorher unerwartet gut in einer anderen Gaststätte gegessen haben. Das Ambiente hätte ich mir von einem ersten Haus am Platze etwas gemütlicher gewünscht und die Musik war unpassend und viel zu laut.

Schönes Restaurant, leider sind wir durch einen dummen Zufall nach oben gesetzt worden und da ist es nicht so toll. Die Gerichte, die ich gegessen habe, waren alle durchweg sehr gut. Der Rest der Familie war mit ihren Gerichten nicht so ganz zufrieden. Für 18€ ein Schnitzel was nicht die Wucht war und Pfannkuchen Rolle mit Lachs für 9€ wo der Pfannkuchen sehr dick war hat leider nicht gefallen. Service war sehr nett und aufmerksam, auch wenn wir oben waren und nicht im Blickfeld. 👍 Wir würden nicht noch einmal kommen als Familie. Als Einzelperson würde ich mich noch weiter durch das Fischangebot probieren.

Bestes Schnitzel was wir gegessen haben, sehr sehr lecker.

Mini Portionen zu saftigen Preisen. Essen war ok, mehr aber auch nicht. Wir kommen nicht wieder.

Mega lecker,mega Portion und mega freundlich. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder!!!

Super leckeres Essen. Sehr freundlich, Preis / Leistung perfekt, hier geht man gerne hin.

Helles und Stilvolles Ambiente, sehr freundliches Personal auch bei Extrawünsche. Leckere Gerichte, regionale Küche und on Top frische Zutaten. Ein weiterer Besuch definitiv Wert.

Das Essen war lecker ... die Portion leider sehr überschaubar. Der Preis für ein vegetarisches Gericht (2 Reibekuchen - etwas Salat - champignonsauce) im Verhältnis zu den Fleischgerichten inakzeptabel. Auf Nachfrage auf Energiekosten verwiesen ... bei Reibekuchen? Schnitzel werden ohne Energiekosten zubereitet?!

Das Essen war wie immer sehr lecker, die Bedienung sehr freundlich.

Sehr leckere Scholle und ebenfalls sehr leckeres Kabeljaufilet. Service sehr zuvorkommend- kommen gerne wieder!

Sehr leckeres Essen, fein angerichtet, außerordentlich zuvorkommender Service! Top!

Wie jedes Jahr einfach nur tiptop🥰 Das Personal ist super freundlich und zuvorkommend, herzlich, interessiert und aufmerksam. Das Essen schmeckt hervorragend, ist immer frisch und sieht ansprechend aus. Wir kommen wieder - wie seit Jahren 😊

Mega Essen Ich liebe das Schnüffelstück 😍

Super lecker Essen, sehr freundlicher Service. Preisleistung ist auch in Ordnung. Eine kleine Anmerkung, ein Teller am Tisch war von der Menge etwas weniger als die anderen.
