Restaurant Goldener Schwan in Kevelaer

Highly recommended restaurant with delicious food and friendly service. Always worth a visit. I can only praise it.

Our lunch consisting of roulade and a portion of pea soup (which would easily have fed two people) was flawless. Very tasty and rich. The service was extremely friendly, something you're hardly used to anymore. Clear recommendation.

Very good and friendly service Food great!!!!!!

Very tasty food, pleasant price and super friendly service! We'd love to come back.

After 3 visits I can say: it is our favorite restaurant on the Lower Rhine. The very nice ambience is also a break from everyday life thanks to the friendly, personal and professional service. Always my pleasure.

A very good tasty meal. I can only recommend it. The service was super friendly.

Price-performance ratio okay. Service courteous and friendly

Cozy restaurant with excellent food and a varied menu. The service was quick and friendly.. Always my pleasure...

Heerlijke warme maaltijd op, op een rustige geordende plek. Vriendelijk personeel, schappelijke prijzen. Na de warme maaltijd waren we goed voldaan.

Food and service very good. Staff always friendly 😊

As every year, the food was very good. The service was excellent and always had a smile for us. We would like to come back as a group next year and are already looking forward to it.

What else can you say when you give 5 stars in all areas? That's right, it was perfect. So inconspicuous from the outside, but the beer garden was still amazing. A place for children to play in the attached beer garden. Food was great, everything was on point. Service... top! You were seen and served. All questions were answered and really polite with a nice smile. What more could you want for a successful evening if you want to go out for dinner? Keep it up

Well-kept atmosphere. Very tasteful food. Fine address in the pilgrimage site Kevelaer on the Lower Rhine.

The schnitzel was very dry and seemed to have been breaded several times before it went into the pan. The fries and salad were tasty and plentiful. A quickly brought chair was probably more of an emergency solution than a comfortable place to sit. Overall, the price here was significantly too high. Conclusion: despite the positive points - I don't need it anymore!

very good schnitzel and fast service

Here everyone knows what they are doing. Good food, friendly service and nice beer garden. What more do you want! It was a pleasure!

Incredibly ignorant and unfriendly service forced our entire group to leave the restaurant because we didn't want to be spoken to like that. The man spoke in a commanding tone and disparagingly. We immediately got up and left.

Super fresh food and friendly conditions

Nice place, nice service, good meat, potatoes and salads! Basically everything tasted very good to us! We recommend! and we will come back :)

Sehr gute und solide bürgerliche Küche zu moderaten Preisen. Sehr freundliche und nette sowie aufmerksame Bedienung. Schöne und erneuerte Einrichtung mit einem deutlichen Plus: Gut gelegener Biergarten, ruhig. Die unterschiedlichen Hauptspeisen kamen gleichzeitig an den Tisch(!), findet man auch nicht oft. Leckere Desserts.

Super tasty food and top service.

Ambience, food, service, everything was great, I was thrilled.

Great food, bowling alley ok, service great

The Golden Swan has recently been renovated and shines in new splendor. I think it is now clearly the first house on the site. But what is really a joy is the food and the friendly and competent service as well as the young host family. We ate asparagus. And it was really prepared first-class. Really good. The light was perhaps a bit bright - but better than too dark. Good luck and God bless everyone who floats the Golden Swan!

Food very good. We tried different dishes, all very tasty. Service friendly and professional. Garden great. When we are in Kevelaer, we eat there.

We haven't been treated so hospitably and courteously in a long time. Excellent service, great ambience and first-class cuisine.

Super good food! Very nice waitresses! Everything perfect!

2 hours. Reserved spontaneously beforehand with 15 people without any problems. The ambience is first-class, the service is second to none, absolutely accommodating, responds to all kinds of requests and is super friendly. The food is unique and absolutely perfect. The food came to everyone almost simultaneously and at a top speed from the service staff. All in all, a real insider tip.

I haven't eaten so well in a long time. The food was of very good quality. Meat tender, fries light and crispy. Perfect! 👌

As always, the food was very good and the service staff was friendly and attentive. I can only recommend!

We were invited to dinner there by my partner's relatives. We really liked it, the food and the wine selection were very good. Nice atmosphere and delicious food!!

Went to Kevelaer again after a few years. Of course, a MUST for us to eat at the Golden Swan. Very good food, friendly staff and everything was just right. We'd love to come back. 🙋‍♀️❤️❤️❤️❤️

We spent great hours in the Golden Swan. The service was very good, the selected dishes were first class. Everything was perfect and we will be happy to come back.

Good food , nice in the Biergarden.

Very satisfied, nice weather, nice beer garden, top service

Unfortunately, single people are not welcome in this restaurant. It's not called a "family restaurant" for nothing. The quality of the food is good, but as a single guest you are ignored for half an hour until a server comes and then you have to wait another half hour until the food is served to you. And only after remembering again. By then, you've already lost your appetite because of the irritation at the disrespectful treatment. You should not expect a gesture of compensation, for example in the form of a drink or a small dessert on the house. The staff also doesn't admit any mistakes. Despite witnesses at the neighboring table who noticed the long waiting time, it is also claimed that the waiting time only seemed so long to the guest and was actually shorter. I can still read the clock though. This was a decidedly clumsy and unprofessional reaction from the female waitress. To put it bluntly, this is a method of so-called gaslighting. My recommendation to the owner: put up signs from the outset that say "individual guests not allowed" so that only couples, groups and families visit the hospitable place. Or train your staff to treat individual guests with the same attention as couples and groups, even if you think you can earn more from the latter.

Spent a great evening with relatives. Great service, very attentive, very friendly. Prices are very good. I would happily go here again at any time

We were there for lunch with a total of 8 people and were very satisfied. Whether schnitzel, salmon or boiled beef, everything is very tasty and plentiful. We were also impressed by the soups for starters. Only the sweet potato with spinach wasn't that well received for the price. Otherwise everything was great, especially the service staff! Super friendly, quick and special requests were implemented without any problems. We'd love to come back!

Super cozy beer garden. Very good cuisine and nice staff. Bowling alley and large guest room with a very cozy atmosphere. Anyone who comes to Kevelaer should definitely stop here.

Great ambience and delicious food

Just don't go there. Too expensive for the service and the food. Service is terrible, I've never experienced anything like that. First, the fries were missing with my dish, and there was no longer any service staff near the table, so I could have complained promptly, so I had to eat my schnitzel without a side dish so that it didn't get cold. And when someone finally decided to serve us again (about 30 minutes later) and we complained, they said that the chip key (which had been placed between two other guests at our table) was for everyone involved and that I should go first Eat the fries (which are still around 10 cold) before fresh ones are delivered. Sorry guys, for over 20 euros per person, I expect a full meal and not just a schnitzel and the leftovers from others at the table. For 5 adults who ordered a dish with fries, only 2 small bowls, even the children had more fries on their children's plates (why did they actually have the fries directly on the plate and not a bowl too????? ). And then the subterranean reaction to the complaint that I should eat the cold fries first and get in touch earlier (which, by the way, I would have liked to have done if you hadn't been hiding), thank you, I'm more than served. You've lost me as a customer and I can't in good conscience recommend anyone to eat here, even though the food is actually good if you get everything you order........ My opinion, if after a meal worth over 20 euros in a home-style restaurant you then have to go to the nearest chip shop because you're feeling under the weather, then it's better to save your money for the restaurant.......

This visit will be remembered. We unexpectedly ended up in the Golden Swan because we were attending the induction of the new pastors in Kevelaer. The menu reads coherently and offers a logical and unobtrusive look at vegetarian dishes. The offer leaves nothing to be desired. From classics (schnitzel) to unusual ones (lentil curry). I would particularly like to highlight the service from all the employees, which we enjoyed during this visit. is. Teamwork is noticeable here. At the table it is immediately clear to those serving what needs to be put where. A friendly question or hint is always ready. We'd love to come back.

Cozy get-together with good food and friendly staff, highly recommended

As always “good”. Reserved a table and had a delicious meal.

I often come here to eat delicious food! Mostly with my girlfriends, boyfriend or my adults. Guys. Service is always top! 👍

It was simply divine, and I don't just mean the food 😀 the service was also first class.

Good food and nice service. Recommended and thumbs up. LG

A great atmosphere with lots of candles and a delicious menu with various delicacies!! The service was totally attentive and friendly!!!!😊

Our favorite restaurant far and wide! Fantastic food, great service - just great!

One of the best restaurants on the Lower Rhine. And everyone is super nice.

Ein wirklich solides und bodenständiges Restaurant das man getrost und im besten Sinne gut bürgerlich bezeichnen darf. Freundliches Personal, leckeres Essen, gutes Preis-Leistung-Verhältnis. Es wird gekocht wie in der ländlich geprägten Region üblich, nahrhaft, herzhaft.

Sehr leckeres Essen welches von der jederzeit freundliche Bedienung in einer sehr angemessen Wartezeit serviert wurde. Hier gab es absolut nichts zu meckern und wir kommen bestimmt wieder.

Alles perfekt. Preise auch völlig angemessen.

Auch in 2. Generation ist die Küche hervorragend!

Wir waren im Oktoberzum Essen im Goldenen Schwan ,zum 88 Geburtstag meiner Schwägerin ,es hat uns sehr gut gefallen , wir haben sehr gut Gegessen , Personal freundlich und bemüht , wir waren sehr zufrieden ,.Ach ja die Herren Creme ist eine Wucht . Vielen herzlichen Dank ..

Sehr freundlicher und zuvorkommender Service und dazu hervorragendes Essen. Hauptspeisen und Desserts waren absolut spitze. Unbedingt zu empfehlen.

Alles gut.... Gemütlicher Abend....

Jedesmal wenn ich in Kevelaer bin. Ein Muss Tafelspitz im Goldener Schwan von Clemens der Chefkoch des Hauses.

Wir kommen schon seit Jahren in absoluter Regelmäßigkeit extra aus Duisburg. Da es immer gut besucht ist, empfiehlt sich eine Tischreservierung. Wir sind bis jetzt jedes Mal begeistert wieder nach Hause gefahren. Jedes Gericht war bisher super lecker. Auch Extrawünsche wurden immer möglich gemacht. Das Personal ist einfach super nett und man fühlt sich immer willkommen. Man bekommt hier wirklich sehr leckeres Essen von guter Qualität zu absolut fairen Preisen. Ich denke auf der Karte ist für jeden etwas dabei (für den kleinen oder großen Hunger, Fleischesser oder Vegetariar) Das Restaurant wurde vor nicht all zu langer Zeit renoviert und etwas moderner gestaltet. Wir haben uns aber auch schon vorher immer sehr wohl gefühlt. Kann hier wirklich absolut bedingungslos eine Empfehlung aussprechen.

Eine ausgezeichnete Gastgeber Familie mit viel Leidenschaft, freundlichem Team und super Essen. Eine eindeutige Empfehlung.

Unscheinbares Restaurant von außen mit sehr gutem Essen. Von der Fußgängerzone aus sieht es klein und düster aus, was jedoch überhaupt nicht der Wahrheit entspricht. Das Restaurant ist sehr modern und hell innen eingerichtet. Nach hinten raus sogar mit einem großen Biergarten mit vielen schattigen Plätzen. Das Essen war sehr lecker. Hier schmeckt man noch die handgemachte Jägersoße, die Salate sind lecker und auch die Schnitzel. Die Gerichte sind im Durchschnitt vielleicht 2€ teurer, es schmeckt aber auch echt gut.

Es stimmte einfach alles. Vom hervorragenden Service über ein leckeres Essen bis zum angenehmen Ambiente. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Ein nettes Ambiente, sehr freundlicher Service und ein gutes Essen.

We hebben lekker gedineerd in een gezellige aparte ruimte. De prijs kwaliteit verhouding was echt in orde.

Wir waren heute mit einer Gruppe im goldenen Schwan. Alfons und sein Team haben uns einen kulinarisch wunderbaren Abend beschert. Der Kürbis-Kartoffelauflauf war super lecker! Mein Highlight: Der Aperitif 50/50! Prost! Danke für einen schönen Abend 😊

Mitten im wunderschönen Örtchen Kaevelar. Super Service und ein Ambiente indem Tradition und Moderne harmonisch vereint sind. Es ist für alle etwas dabei: von Hirschgulasch, oder dem klassischen Schlemmerschnitzel bis hin zu einer wirklich guten Auswahl an vegetarischen Gerichten. Der Biergarten mit Blick auf den Kirchturm sah auch toll aus. Wir kommen im Sommer bestimmt wieder!

Heerlijk gegeten met zeer goede bediening Wij waren met 4 personen die allemaal iets anders namen (ik had het grill gerecht). Alle personen waren het erover eens dat het eten uitstekend was. De bediening was zeer attent en behulpzaam Ik zou er zeker weer gaan eten

Schönes Restaurant mit guter überwiegend deutscher Küche. Aufmerksames und freundliches Personal. Mein Dry Age Kotelett an Portweinsauce mit feinem Wirsinggemüse und Kartoffelgratin hat mir ausgezeichnet geschmeckt. Die Kombination eines Espressos mit einer kleinen süßen Dessertüberraschung zu einem wirklich fairen Preis war ein gelungener Abschluss.

Ein sehr schönes Lokal, leckeres Essen und ein freundliches Personal

Lunches in Germany is very satisfactory. This restaurant is no exception! Great big portion of snitzel including salads combine with German beer. Perfect combination! The interior inside is more like a hospital canteen. On the contrary the garden is very cozy and inviting. Dog friendly, good service too. They provide a pair of scissors to open the mayonaise :) how thoughtfull!!!! Everything is okay...but i do think they need to put some new sun umbrella ☺️

Sehr leckeres Essen. Die Karte ist überschaubar aber ich denke jeder Geschmack wird bedient. Erwähnenswert ist definitiv die größere Auswahl an vegetarischen Speisen. Wir waren mit einer größeren Gruppe dort essen und alle waren sehr zufrieden. Der Service ist top und sehr freundlich!

Sehr schöner Biergarten. Deutsche Küche.

sehr lecker, freundlich...einfach perfekt.

Super leckeres Essen und toller Service 👍🏼 Immer wieder gerne!

Es war sehr lecker. Toller Service. Ambiente einfach gut. Waren mit einer grossen Gruppe da. Alles war sehr lecker. Keiner hatte etwas zu beanstanden. Wir können das Restaurant "Goldener Schwan" nur weiterempfehlen.

Bedienung freundlich, schöner Biergarten und super Bratkartoffeln. Aber die Championrahmsauce bestand fast ausschließlich aus Maltodextrin (Saucenbinder), schäumte und schmeckte nach nichts. Eigentlich ne Unverschämtheit für knapp 20€. Werde diese Bewertung bei meinem nächsten Besuch noch mal bearbeiten...

Sehr leckere und preiswerte Speisen. Personal freundlich und sehr versiert.

Jederzeit wieder gerne zum Essen.

Sat outside and had a lovely meal. my wife and I had Schweinescnitzen Champignon and the children settled for chicken nuggets and chips! All plates cleared, 2 Pils, 2 Radlers, 2 Orange juice, 4 colas and Peach schnapps to finish and the bill was 88 Euro. The waitress was very helpful, there was no English menu but she took the time to translate for us.

Am Essen lässt sich wirklich viel dran meckern, normale Hausmannskost! Gut gekocht, jedoch auch nichts Neues! Der Service jedoch muss noch deutlich verbessert werden! Flaschen werden nicht eingeschüttet, auf Extrawünsche wird nicht eingegangen. Wir werden es auf jeden Fall nochmal probieren.

Das Restaurant ist viel größer als es von außen den Anschein erweckt. Gute deutsche Küche zu moderaten Preisen. Freundlicher Service und für den Sommer ein Biergarten den man von außen nicht sieht. Das Gesamtpaket ist sehr gut, Speisen soweit OK.

Best restaurant in kevelaer, welcoming, great food. Friendly staff. Plenty of room and tables separate. Lovely and warm. Excellent chef, we came by car from England due to COVID, so would like to return to my hometown but the journey by car will was hard work.

Das Essen war sehr gut, sowohl Fisch als auch Fleischgerichte ganz ausgezeichnet. Die Bedienung war sehr zuvorkommend, die Atmosphäre sehr angenehm, es gab genügend "Privatsphäre"

Waren mit zwei Erwachsenen, einem Kind und einem Hund dort. Das Lokal liegt in der Fußgängerzone. Die Bedienung war sehr freundlich und aufmerksam. Das Essen kam schnell und war lecker. Die Atmosphäre ist gemütlich. Es gibt nicht zu beanstanden.

In verband met een verjaardag in dit restaurant met familie gegeten. Aangenaam restaurant met vriendelijke bediening, uitgebreide kaart en gerechten van goede kwaliteit. De Schlemmerschnitzel is echt geweldig. Klassieke Duits restaurant, zeker een aanrader. We hadden een hond mee en er werd onmiddelijk een bakje water voor hem gebracht.

Das Restaurant ist frisch renoviert worden und hat ein tolles Ambiente zwischen urig und modern. Der Service ist sehr zuvorkommend und das Essen war wirklich lecker! Man bekommt gute Deutsche Hausmannskost, die aber einen modernen/frischen Touch hat. Auch Vegetarier und Veganer kommen auf ihre Kosten. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

Wir waren nach der Wiedereröffnung im goldenen Schwan und sind begeistert! Das Essen ist nach wie vor sehr lecker und die Karte wurde mit tollen neuen Gerichten ergänzt. Viele bekannte Gesichter in einem modernisierten Essensraum. Immer wieder einen Besuch wert und sehr zu empfehlen.

Wir haben uns sehr über das neue Ambiente gefreut. Die Küche ist nach wie vor himmlisch und die Mitarbeiter sind äußerst zuvorkommend.

This place had a very nice service which were patient and attentive. It is half of the restaurant to have good employees. The place filled up quickly and had good hearthy german food. A splendid choice. We were happy we did not go to Hollandia, which had a bad atmosphere and not so nice service at all. Good good choice!

Wir sind auf dem Weg zum Flughafen Weeze mal wieder hier eingekehrt um in diesem wirklich authentischen, gut bürgerlichen Restaurant zu speisen. Schon die Rinderkraftbrühe vorweg war super, die Hauptspeisen großartig und der nicht auf der Karte steihende Kaiserschmarrn der krönende Abschluß. Also wer hier sich nicht wohlfühlen kann, der geht auch zum Lachen in den Keller und hat hier auch nichts zu suchen. Eigentlich nicht überraschend, der Service ist an Freundlichkeit und Professionalität nicht zu überbieten. Super empfehlenswert!!!

Service sehr nett! Biergarten ist auch sehr gepflegt. Kleine mittagskarte mit leckeren Schnitzeln. Zum Mittagessen sehr zu empfehlen.

Sehr gutes, frisch zubereitetes Essen. Eine Speicherkarte, die nicht überfüllt ist, aber für jeden Geschmack etwas bietet. Sehr moderate Preise. Nicht zuletzt ein überaus freundlicher und hilfsbereiter Service. Wir haben uns hier sehr wohl gefühlt und waren aufgrund der guten Erfahrungen an 2 Abenden hintereinander dort. Dieses Restaurant ist sehr zu empfehlen.

Such wonderful ambience. So warm and welcoming. Excellent 5 star food with such reasonable prices. The staff couldnt be more friendly. Amazing. Would surely recommend it to everyone. Cant waite for my next visit.

This was the highest ranked restaurant in Kevelaer on TripAdvisor that was open on a Monday night, so we expected quality. We got it - nothing outstanding but good solid service, very good food and decent prices. I had the chef's fish platter which comprised an enormous lump of salmon, 2 sole and half a dozen prawns, plus a bowl of potatoes and a tomato salad - not bad for €18. The schnitzels also seemed to go down very well. This is indeed a very good restaurant worthy of its high ranking.

When you get to this restaurant you do expect it to be excellent. It's in a prominent place, it has decent ratings and it's full of older people. First thing that wasn't as good as it should be, it took ages until someone decided to serve us. Ok, we could get over that. German beer usually resolves issues. We had a nice beer with our food but the food itself was not up to scratch. Not sure if this restaurants chef is fully versed on venison but it certainly was a bit amateur. That should have been better, not that it was terrible, it was just average and could have done with more TLC. What got us at the end is that even if you tip nicely, there is no thank you said. That for me ruins it altogether and leaves quite an after taste. I probably won't come back here on my next visit just because of that factor.

We are visitors from England and usually stay in Kevelaer about once a year always paying a visit to the Goldener Swan as we have found it so good. This year was a little more problematic as my wife has developed a serious food intolorance to anything the slightest citrus. We chose a venison casserole and asked the waiter to check with the chef that there was nothing in the meal that could be problematic and he returned a couple of minutes later with a sheaf of paper re-assuring us that there were no ingredients that could cause a problem. There were three of us and we all ordered the venison casserole which after a few minutes arrived each with a slice of orange garnish. At first the waiter suggested that we just remove the garnish but eventually realised that the food was contaminated and we did get a replacement meal for my wife. This spoiled our evening as the omission was so unnecessary as some one was not really listening to us. There was no language problem as one of the three of us speaks fluent German, I speak acceptable German and the waiter spoke perfect English. The meal however was wonderful as it always is and on on our next visit I am sure that I can award full marks as I could always have done on all past visits, it is such a shame that this last time was the only one that was not perfect.

We come across this superb restaurant by mistake! So glad we did. The surrounding we're typical old German, very clean lovely furniture, the food was amazing, but make sure you don't go later than 9pm as they stop cooking .

We tried here as they had a couple of vegetarian options on the menu. The place was very nice inside, with waitresses dressed in traditional-type costume. Our waitress was very friendly and when we checked one of the dishes was vegetarian, she pointed out other dishes that were also vegetarian and recommended a lasagne. We had the potato pockets with cheese and broccoli and a vegetarian lasgane. There was also a lovely side salad with the potato pockets. We thought the food was delicious. We tried to pay by card which was maestro and should have worked, but for some reason the card machine wouldn't accept it, so just be careful that a card might be declined and you might need to pay cash. We had two main courses and two soft drinks and I think it was around €25. I would come here again on another visit.

We visited this place for the first time even visiting Kevelaer many times. The interior is classic and gives you good filling and view. The place is very clean and the staff is very friendly. We ordered Rumpsteak Krauterbuter and Heringstipp. Both were delicious. Steak was made out of fresh meat and was fried just enough. We will definitely come back.
