Restaurant & Gästezimmer Büskens in Wachtendonk

Here we cook with love, great skill and the best ingredients! Today I was able to enjoy sea bass with braised potatoes and beetroot sprouts, accompanied by the wine recommendation: Pinot Gris from Germany. The friendly conversation with the manager of the house and the pleasing pricing were also a good fit into the positive overall picture. Absolute recommendation!

By chance we got lost in the very pretty town of Wachtendonk. Hunger led us to the Büskens restaurant where, fortunately, the 'Irish trad session' was taking place at exactly that time. The Irish music immediately exuded a good mood and made the restaurant visit something special. The service staff were very friendly. On the recommendation, we decided on 'Irish goulash'. A good decision...Very tasty, tender meat, tasty vegetables. Good value for money. All in all, a cozy, rustic restaurant with a special flair. We will come back!

Very cozy. Eaten and drank well.

Super friendly service. The food was tasty, but the appearance could still be improved.

Everything is old and cluttered but quite comfortable. The landlady was very nice and accommodating. The mood in the business was also good, someone was playing the piano and a few were singing along. We stopped here after a short hike and got coffee and delicious cake. Afterwards we drove home happy

Super, haven't had such a good meal in a while...highly recommended 👍

We have only been citizens of Wachtendonk for a few weeks but we have been to Büskens several times. The tables outside on the terrace are particularly nice. The service is good, the food tastes great. It's always fun and a good atmosphere with the landlord Christoph and the service staff. A highlight are the Irish folk live music sessions.

Very old-fashioned and cluttered, therefore somewhat dark place with an exuberant hostess who likes to talk and touch a lot. On top of that, with an almost Ruhrpott snout, amusing, but a little over the top for me, but very trying. I noticed the negative effect of moistening the finger with the tongue. The menu is clear, but there is something for every taste. In addition to tarte flambée, schnitzel and a vegetarian selection including salads, there are changing daily soups and dishes, this time game and chanterelles. The chanterelles were well cleaned and deliciously prepared, the schnitzel was okay, thinly breaded but not crispy, but the fish of the day, this time salmon, was very tasty, but served with a strange sweet and sour sauce. The braised potatoes lacked salt, but the fries and sweet potato fries were really tasty, fresh and crispy, and otherwise delicious. I found the starter salads strange; the carrots were freshly grated, which you could tell from the end pieces, but the dressing felt like natural yoghurt had been drizzled with balsamic vinegar. On top of that, the yogurt tasted unpleasantly sour in the mouth and lacked a lot of spices. We were on the way home and because of a memory of pretty Wachtendonk we drove here on a Saturday around October. Unfortunately, the predominantly listed old town was deserted, hardly any people, no shops or anything similar, and due to the lack of open alternatives and good reviews, we stopped here. However, we would not accept a journey or a detour again. The washrooms were spacious and well ventilated, not to say freezing cold, could do with a basic cleaning of corners and floors, but quite acceptable.

Cozy atmosphere, delicious cuisine and a friendly environment, what more could you want.

It was okay, but based on the very good reviews I expected a little more. The Dutch service was very friendly. The food was okay. Unfortunately the potatoes didn't taste that good. They only tasted like water.

Very nice, it was very hot outside and the drinks were nice and cold👍

Delicious food. The asparagus menu was really excellent. Very friendly host and lady. Cozy, casual atmosphere with plenty of room for a chat. In short, highly recommended for anyone in the area.

Excellent restaurant with tasty food and friendly service

The innkeeper was very strange. The food ok. The atmosphere is very old

When the weather is nice, the restaurant is ok. Very dark inside and showing its age. The taste of the food was quite good. The prices are not exactly cheap and the portions are very manageable and can be described as a snack.

Very nice... old German atmosphere...

A rare treasure, rustic German home cooking that you can hardly find in this area these days... The Irish Sessions, which are delivered every third Sunday of the month, are remarkable ☘️

Delicious food and very friendly service! Thank you!

Cozy, truly German and the food was delicious.

Nice place, nice staff, delicious food and dog friendly! It is great.

Great operation & service. The quality of the food was excellent. The price/performance ratio is right. Since the indoor beer garden was closed, we sat at the entrance area. Therefore 3 stars for the atmosphere, which shouldn't detract from our 5 star rating. We are already looking forward to our next visit!

A little old-fashioned, but cozy and fitting for the place.

Super tasty and totally harmonious atmosphere ❣️

Very cozy restaurant with tasty food. The service was friendly, very quick and in our own language!

This time I went to Büskens with my partner. After I had already stayed there once with positive memories and enjoyed a meal, I decided to visit Mr. Büskens' restaurant again when visiting the city. The atmosphere is cozy, old-fashioned. I personally love this style. The innkeeper even recognized us from our last conversation, which was a year ago. Yesterday we enjoyed good home-style cooking, in the form of Kassler with potatoes and sauerkraut. Delicious! We are already looking forward to our next visit to Wachtendonk. By the way, a super beautiful old town :-)

Another innkeeper with a 15-16 hour stay. Day. This is also reflected in the conversations with the customer. The host is neither open nor argumentative at the table; Rather, He gives the best to the advice-resistant one! Regular guests obviously enjoy appreciation! Tourists or new customers are not even looked at from the side and an attempt is made to cut them off during a conversation. But the summit is last but not least; when all guests have to leave the hall: Says the innkeeper: You can all pay at the counter there! And you're out! There was no thank you for the financial support! You feel most sorry for the Dutch waitress, who can't help it at all and does a great job! One more thing about the food: the schnitzel or schnitzels weren't fresh from the breading street, the spaetzle wasn't homemade; watery, thin, almost carelessly done away with and the mushrooms without a trace of cream. A lot of salt didn't help to bind it. Furthermore, the mushrooms had long since exceeded their lifespan. A cook should no longer use mushrooms if they are already past the point of black. You can see it when you cut it into small pieces! These mushrooms certainly had an open calyx, black rot and heavily scaled. I will come back again in the next few years to give the inn a second chance. Dead sins.

Our regular restaurant in Wachtendonk. We are very excited.

Alles sehr gut, Essen top und das sauberste Restaurant was ich je gesehen habe. Sehr empfehlenswert. Die Preise sind gerechtfertig👍

Das Restaurant liegt sehr zentral in der historischen Altstadt von Wachtendonk an der Weinstraße, die samstags bis 15:00 Uhr befahren werden darf. Es ist bereits vom Rathaus aus an den gelben Sonnenschirmen zu erkennen. Parkplätze für die Motorräder waren direkt gegenüber des Restaurants. Das Gebäude ist historisch und das Ambiente niederrheinisch- rustikal gestaltet. Das Restaurant war gut besucht und man fühlt sich sofort wohl, fast wie im eigenen Wohnzimmer in dem man sich gerne aufhält, knisternden Kaminfeuer inbegriffen. Die Mitarbeiterin mit leicht niederländischem Akzent empfing uns sehr freundlich und sprach mehrere Empfehlungen aus, denen wir gerne folgten. So gab es ein Zanderfilet mit Kartoffeln und gemischtem Salat sowie 1/4 Ente mit Kartoffeln und Rotkohl. Zum Abschluss orderten wir ein Vanilleeis mit Sahne und roter Grütze. Großartig und mit Hingabe zubereitet, ein absoluter Genuss und mit bleibender Erinnerung zum Abschluss der Motorradsaison. Bei gutem Wetter kann man auch draußen sitzen. Hinter dem Gebäude ist ein toller Biergarten. Die Sanitäranlagen waren sehr sauber. Das Personal, die Bedienung und der Koch (möglicherweise Inhaber) waren sehr freundlich. Gepflegte Gastlichkeit hat ihren Preis, der absolut angemessen war und so ist das Restaurant Büskens insgesamt sehr zu empfehlen. Dankeschön.

Hier bekommt man sehr leckeres Essen, wir hatten Flammkuchen und Wildschwein. Beides sehr gut und unbedingt zu empfehlen. Im Sommer kann man gemütlich draußen sitzen. Drinnen ist da Ambiente gut bürgerlich aber gemütlich.

Sehr aufmerksames Personal und sehr Freundlich.

Sehr kleine schicke Gaststätte, freundliche Bedienung und nicht zu überlaufen! Sehr empfehlenswert

Hoch qualitative Speisen in einer hübschen Gasse.

Ff lekker op het teras gezeten met een flink glas bruin bier dat locaal wordt gebrouwen... probeer het eens

Sehr gutes Restaurant, das auch am Dienstag, wenn der Ort schläft, geöffnet hat. Man sollte vorher reservieren. Wir hatten Fisch und Schnitzel- beides superlecker. Das Restaurant ist zu empfehlen 👍🏻

Perfekt für einen Halt mit dem Fahrrad um etwas Herzhaftes oder Süßes zu essen.

Bei Büskens kann man wunderbar gemütlich draußen sitzen. Das Essen ist leider viel zu teuer für die mangelnde Qualität. Kann ich - bis auf einen leckeren Beilagensalat - zu den Preisen nicht empfehlen. Drinnen war es n bisschen gruselig. Service war nett, hat aber auf Anregungen zum Essen überhaupt nicht reagiert. Warum auch, wenn man kaum Anspruch hat.

Wachtendonk is een verborgen parel, vól mooie historische panden en een fraaie kasteel ruïne. Trek hebbend in een echt Duitse lunch streek ik neer op het kleine intieme terras van Büskens en begeerde een Wiener Schnitzel. Vergezeld van een fijne salade kwam deze knapperig gebakken met lekkere frietjes op tafel. Daarbij een lekker witbiertje. Zowel smaak als bediening waren dik in orde. Al is het interieur verouderd, het is een aanrader!

Heerlijk eten, veel keuze en snelle en zéér vriendelijke bediening! Aanrader!!!

Toller Ort und tolle und entspannte Atmosphäre. So einfach und so gut.

Freundliches Personal.Sauber.Gutes Essen

Alles sehr lecker. Grosse Kuchenstücke. Netter, aufmerksamer Service in ehrwürdige Ambiente!

Obwohl wir gegen 20:30 staubedingt über 40min zu spät kamen, hat man uns an dem Abend sehr gastlich und freundlich empfangen. Prompte Bedienung der Getränke, nebenbei das Essen zubereiten, das auch noch sehr gut schmeckt und reichlich ist! Wir kommen wieder!

Sehr lecker gegessen und super nette Bedienung, da komm ich gerne wieder...

We had salad and flamkuchen as main dishes, two cappuccino and a cake as dessert plus drinks and every thing was delicious. We spent 42 euros which was more than a reasonable price!☺️

Top Service mit super, selbstgemachten Flammkuchen. Komme wieder 🤤

Malerisches Plätzchen wo Radler auch als alles Peng erhältlich ist

Wir haben hier auf unserer Radtour eine kleine Pause gemacht. Vor dem Lokal stehen ein paar Tische an der Straße. Der Ort Wachtendonk ist jedoch sehr ruhig, so das das sitzen an der Straße nicht stört. Drinnen typischer Gasthof. Bedienung war sehr freundlich. Es gibt verschiedene Kuchen und kleinere Gerichte. Currywurst + Pommes sowie der Flammkuchen sind zu empfehlen

Sehr gemütliches Lokal, Das Essen war lecker, die Portionen reichlich, die Preise aber trotzdem gut. Wir hatten Wildschwein mit Beilagen, vorab eine Rinderbrühe mit Einlage und zum Dessert Eis.

Gute Portionen, gute deutsche Küche, freundliches Personal, gerne wieder.

Leckeres Essen und freundliches Personal

Tolles altes Restaurant mitten im Ort; sehr nettes und freundliches Personal; die Speisen sind reichlich und sehr schmackhaft; man hat die Wahl zwischen verschiedenen Wild-, Fisch- und regionalen Gerichten; auch die Auswahl an Desserts ist reichlich; verdiente 5 Sterne!
