Restaurant Hof von Holland in Emmerich am Rhein

Good food, reasonable prices, friendly staff.

Note on the following review (May 29, 2025) This review was originally published on Google Maps but was removed following a complaint of alleged defamation. I disagree with it – it represents a factual, honest, and personal assessment, in accordance with Article 5 of the Basic Law (Freedom of Expression). I am documenting this case because I believe that more and more companies in Germany are using defamation law as a weapon to suppress legitimate, critical voices. This is a dangerous trend that endangers consumer rights and review platforms. Original review (content unchanged): Restaurant on the banks of the Rhine with a view of the Rhine. The terrace (covered and partially heated in autumn and winter) is ideal for relaxing after a bike ride or a walk. The menu offers a wide selection of meat and fish dishes, and a limited number of vegetarian options. The price/performance ratio is good. The carpaccio, although still a bit cold in the middle, was okay, but in my opinion, the balsamic vinegar didn't add anything. a carpaccio. That's probably a purely personal matter. My husband enjoyed the onion soup, which was served classically with a toasted baguette. Our main courses, grilled salmon and a beef burger, were also excellent. However, the décor could have used a bit more attention. The burger, in particular, would have benefited from a small salad. Personally, I don't find a burger with fries very appealing. What we really appreciated was the delicious complementary dessert as a "thank you." The restaurant's decor is old-fashioned and clearly appeals to the older generation. I'm very curious to hear what the owner has to say about this, as he himself hinted after our conversation (in July 2023).

Nice location on the Rhine. Service excellent. Many schnitzel variations. Everything focused on tourism, so the food too. Not bad, but not great either. Huge portions though. Order the KP option. That stands for Small Portion. The toilets are a point of attention for the management. Ladies toilet was soaking wet and smelly.

Yes, a nice terrace on the Rhine

Nice and bright everything, toilet accessible for disabled people, staff very friendly😊Breakfast or lunch perfect

Prachtige plek met uitzicht op de Rhein en en binnen en buiten terras, al dan niet overdekt. Net wat je wilt. Het was wat fris dus wij hebben genoten van het uitzicht over het buitenterras naar de Rhein. En van een Strammermax en een fitnes bag brotchen alekker en vers bereid. Met een joekel van een grote cappuccino, goede en attante bediening en waar voor je geld.

Latte Macchiato has no coffee flavor. The cappuccino is okay. If you want to have a bite to eat at lunch, it is impossible to make a choice 🥴. WAY TOO MUCH on the menu and in my opinion impossible to prepare fresh. It "varies" from a bouncer to Italian to French to Spanish... too many to mention... BIZAR🙈." Long live" the freezer for this eatery 👎. The two stars are for the view of the Rhine 👍.

Cozy nice hotel with restaurant on the Promenade, with entrance at the front and back. And also a beautiful partially free and covered terrace at the front. We first enjoyed a delicious cappuccino with Schwarzwaldkirsch cake - later we came back for lunch with Strammermax and fitness bag sandwich, both super tasty and well prepared. Nice and attentive staff who can't fault anything! Beautiful view directly on the Rhein and parking space nearby.

Cake didn't taste good at all, it was probably frozen... High prices, location right on the Rhine promenade, so you can probably take that. We won't be going there again.

Nicely located on the water and a beautiful greenery where you can sit outside in bad weather. The food is good, as is the atmosphere.

Very unfriendly hurried staff. Especially the master of the house. It was also a shock when we got the bill. 1 cappuccino, fresh mint tea, 2 pastries € 21.00. We will never go there again. He has no favoritism at all.

Nice Restaurant with view on the Rhein.

Very nice restaurant with a direct view of the Rhine. Food and service were very good.

Today we had a delicious meal at the Hof van Holland in Emmerich. First we enjoyed a cup of tea and for my husband a beer with a beautiful view of the Rhine. As a starter my husband had a delicious and well-seasoned goulash soup. As a main course we had a vegetarian curry and a tasty crispy duck dish. For dessert we had a delicious ice cream sundae with coffee and a mojita cocktail. In short, we enjoyed it! The restaurant has a nice terrace on the Rhine. The hostess and the waiter were friendly. The restaurant is spacious and the dinner menu is varied. We would love to come back!

Very cozy restaurant with an outdoor terrace with a beautiful view of the Rhine. The 🍔 was very large and tasted good!

Beautiful views of the Rhine. Friendly service. Good food and delicious coffee and cake.

Nice place to have something to eat. Friendly staff.

We were there for the tulip festival. Great organization, free parking, super clean toilets. From the greeting at the entrance to the farewell, friendly and competent Staff. Great decoration and workpieces! Fantastic!!! A wide variety of offers make the visit very entertaining. Prices very fair! The coffee, tea and poffertjes, all free of charge, were delicious. A very big and heartfelt thank you to all the organizers. Definitely recommended!!!

Friendly service and nice terrace with a view of the Rhine.

Very tasty and very affordable. Staff also very friendly

Cup of coffee with delicious German pastries, kuchen. View of the Rhine and nice weather. Nice!

Beautiful place, had a nice seat! Will eat there soon.

You can sit here on a boulevard with a view of the Rhine. We used the lunch menu here 3 times. The menu is varied. Something for everyone. Friendly and service-oriented people work here. We would love to come back again when we are in the area.

We thought there would be more going on there on a Friday, it was quiet and quite pleasant, unfortunately the food wasn't that good, pork medallions with hollandaise sauce and cheese gratinated, medallions were much too dry either they were finished and had to be warmed up again or it was on the oven for too long, hollandaise was a teaspoon full and unfortunately far too little, the second meal with chicken breast strips and Asian vegetables, the meat was also much too dry We passed it on like that and got 2 small coffees for free, he wasn't surprised but it seemed like it happened more often. I wouldn't eat there again now, it's a shame for me to spend the money

We were there with a large group, so we created the atmosphere ourselves.

Delicious coffee in a jug from which you can get more than 2 containers Cappuccino also delicious together for € 9.60

In 1 Woord GATVERDAMME!!!! Dit is de 2e keer in mijn leven dat ik zo waardeloos gegeten heb. Wienerschnitzel dit schaadt de Duitse Wienerschnitzel echt in zijn eer en naam. Vlees zo dun nog dunner dan de vlees op een McDonald's hamburger. En dan nog de lef hebben om dit te frituren. Vet droop ervanaf. Zelfde geldt voor de hanchenschnitzel. Ook gewoon in de frituur gemikt. Aardappelpartjes in teveeel bakvet gebakken, champignonsaus smaakte nergens naar. Je eet nog beter bij een ratstate langs de snelweg. En dan nog 18.90 durven vragen +2 euro meer voor de hanchen/kip. 104 euro betaald met drinken erbij we hebben allemaal voor de helft van ons eten laten staan. Weggegooid geld. Enkel voor drinken kan je hier plaats nemen. Voor eten loop snel een blokje om. Oh ja en hygiëne is ver te zoeken, vieze oude armzalige toilet. En de persoon die de kok moest zijn was verkouden en snotterde zijn neus in een tissue. Waste zijn handen niet daarna en dit moet je eten bereiden. Ik moet en moest nog net niet kotsen.

Delicious food and friendly staff, and the price is reasonable for what you get

Perfect!! Delicious food, with great service

In 1 Word GATVERDAMME!!!! This is the 2nd time in my life I've had such a crappy meal. Wienerschnitzel this really damages the German Wienerschnitzel in its honor and name. Meat so thin, even thinner than the meat on a McDonald's hamburger. And then have the guts to fry this. Grease was dripping off. The same applies to the hanchenschnitzel. Also just aimed in the fryer. Potato wedges fried in too much shortening, mushroom sauce tasted of nothing. It's even better to eat at a rat state the highway. And then dare to ask for 18.90 + 2 euros more for the hanchen/chicken. Paid 104 euros including drinks, we all left half of our food behind. Wasted money. You can only take a seat here for drinks. For food, take a quick walk around the block. Oh yes, and hygiene is poor, dirty old poor toilet. And the person who was supposed to be the cook had a cold and was blowing his nose into a tissue. Don't wash his hands afterwards and this is what you need to prepare your food. I haven't had to puke yet.

I made a stop here and was here by 11:30am. I was able to order lunch even though it usually only starts at 12 p.m. I was able to enjoy my schnitzel with fries, which needed a bit of a deep fryer, with a beautiful view of the Rhine. Salt and pepper were served but no one asked for ketchup or mayonnaise. Unfortunately, the food was very dry despite the side salad. And that for just under €20. The service was nice and friendly and the menu offers enough to find something to eat for everyone.

We thought 1 coffee, 1 hot chocolate, 2 cakes for €21 was very expensive. (More expensive than in the Bijenkorf NL) Price and quality are hard to find. Coffee in the small pot had no taste, so it wasn't from the machine. Chocolate milk was also far from tasty. Very disappointed!!!

A restaurant with a beautiful location directly on the Rhine. Nice and friendly service. Unfortunately, the food didn't confirm the first good impression. The menu consisted of a mix of meat dishes, Zurich Geschnetzeltes, pasta and Asian dishes. It was noticeable that a number of additional numbers were listed in many dishes. So a lot of work is done with finished products. The Wiener Schnitzel we ordered was obviously a pre-made product. Schnitzel €24, mushroom sauce (also a convenience product) came with an extra €3. So a total of €27 for a schnitzel with mushroom sauce and fried potatoes is simply too much for a meal that mainly consists of convenience products.

Almost nothing open, but Hof van Holland is! On request, I was allowed to order a curry sausage for dinner (was until 5 p.m.). Nice meal!

Nice atmosphere, nice staff, good food

Price/performance at breakfast is very poor. Coffee cannot be described as such, sausage/cheese/jam has the taste of supermarket goods. Unfriendly management of the restaurant, only the service was ok.

Of course we ate Schnitzel. While you are in Germany. Received a large plate with 2 breaded schnitzels. It seemed like a lot. That said everything. The meat was ok, but very thin slices. The paneer was very dry and came loose from the Schnitzel. Everything fell off too and to be honest, it was unedible with paneer. In the end I still had a full plate with a pile of crispy/hard breadcrumbs. Quite a disappointment. If only I had gone to the neighbor's, who has really delicious schnitzels. Better luck next time.

Very nice and friendly to recommend

Typical German restaurant. Dishes offered without frills. Meat and fish from the fryer. Service is friendly.

Nice coffee and delicious pastries. Pastries are expensive. 4.90 per point. Coffee 5.50, but then you have 2 cups that you can pour from a jug.

A day in Germany with our group of friends. (Emmerich) Because we were with a group, it was fun. Due to the crowds, the food was not very special. Fries were raw which were served with the dishes.

We have been to this restaurant several times now and have never been disappointed. In my opinion, the prices are absolutely reasonable and the service is very attentive and friendly. In my review at the time, I criticized the cool-looking furnishings, which I would now like to revise with some new furnishings.

Very nice restaurant right on the Rhine

Very disappointing. Previously eaten here when it was good, but now.... Not worth repeating. Dry and tasteless schnitzel. Mushroom sauce only tasted of bound salt. There was hardly anyone there on Friday evening. Should have been a sign already. Prices have gone up and quality has gone down. Friendly staff

Verleden jaar hier geweest. Was goed. Nu een afknapper. Schnitzel droog en smaakloos. Bijgerecht naar keuze.... Niet dus. Kregen een zoute "champignonsaus". En melige patat (wel warm) Prijzen omhoog gegaan maar de kwaliteit omlaag. Er was ook bijna niemand in deze zaak op vrijdagavond. Personeel wel vriendelijk.

Great location and nice drinks!

Had a delicious meal here in the afternoon, highly recommended.

Great view of the Rhine. Friendly and attentive service. The daily menu is varied and the prices are fair.

Grocery shopping on a Saturday in Emmerich and went for lunch here. Nice place next to the river rhine, good food and quick friendly service

Super delicious food, friendly service and beautiful location.

Being able to sit directly on the Rhine on the promenade, in wonderful weather, in a clean restaurant. Very attentive staff. Great cuisine and the schnitzel dishes are absolutely recommended. We felt very well looked after. As soon as we were seated the drinks were taken immediately. The drinks were delivered less than 5 minutes later and the food was at the table less than 20 minutes later. Highly recommended. You can eat and go out very well here without any worries. If you're traveling with your dog, it's a great location where your four-legged friends are still welcome.

Hamburger vreselijk droog, en de schnitzel was meer paneer dan vlees. We gingen er heen vanwege de vele positieve reacties, maar ik zal hier niet nog een keer heen gaan. Weinig vriendelijkheid bij de man die ons bediende, kortom wat zonde van onze tijd en geld.

Delicious lunch. Friendly staff. Top!!

Well, you can really eat here. But it's not really that great. I would choose something else. A radler is not a beer with 7up But I got that instead of a radler. A bit of a shame. The schnitsel wiener art was very thin. View was fine.

A very good place with a delicious dinner and a perfect atmosphere.

Graag eet ik vegetarisch,als er op de kaart dan ook gevulde aubergine staat ben ik verkocht. HetTurkse gerecht Imam Bayaldi kwam helemaal bij me voor ogen. Het gerecht met marktgroenten, tomatensaus,couscous en salade ging het worden. NEE DUS!!! Het werd geen gevulde aubergine, maar stukjes van deze eierplant met courgette en vooral veel wortel. Geen couscous en salade, of dat moeten de 3 reepjes rucola geweest zijn als garnering. Navraag natuurlijk, een even grote desillusie. De collega had waarschijnlijk iets vergeten door te strepen op de kaart. Bovendien hadden ze zondermeer geen couscous in de keuken en over de salade werd niet gerept. Laat staan dat er excuses over de lippen kwam van de restaurantleider. Lieve mensen laat je niet misleiden door de mooie beloftes op de kaart, beter nog laat dit restaurant absoluut aan je voorbijgaan.

The staff is not really happy about it. Food gets a 7 and view a 9. Laughter and friendliness course is recommended for the staff. What an unfriendly bunch!

Personeel loopt er niet echt vrolijk en gemotiveerd bij. Eten krijgt een 7 en uitzicht een 9. Cursus lachen en vriendelijkheid zou veel goed doen. .

They don't know the difference between frit sauce and mayonnaise here. The waiter threw away the frit sauce, causing him to drop two ice cream sundaes. Last year the service and meal were much better. Our dog got my share.

Nice operation. It's nice that they speak Dutch

Ate deliciously and sat nicely by the Rhine. Friendly service and good price-performance ratio. This was our second time there and we would love to come back.

Had a delicious sandwich, highly recommended. Nice view over the river.

Had to wait a long time, but that wasn't a problem with that beautiful view. Manager not friendly and impatient, staff friendly.

We had different types of schnitzel and two drinks, all very tasty. Price/performance is consistent.

Service a bit inattentive, very long waiting time, card payment only from 10 EUR ???, ice cream sundae looks different than on the menu and even has frozen water inclusions

Mega nice restaurant, great view, very tasty food and very friendly staff. You have to give it 5 stars. We come from near Dortmund and even with that you can't compare the food because it tastes much better here. If it were to give 10 stars I would give 10 stars give 🥰

Nice restaurant on the Rhine promenade in Emmerich with great food and friendly service.👍😀

Beautiful location, tasty food!

Delicious, clean, friendly and would love to come back

We were very dissatisfied. I had a schnitzel with hunter's sauce, the schnitzel was so thin and there were only two mushrooms in the sauce. Overpriced for the price. That was the first and last time

The gentleman serving is not nice at all. Not friendly and absolutely no feeling of welcome. The female service was nice.

Enjoy a nice and cozy time on the Rhine.

Very nice restaurant right on the Rhine promenade. Service was very nice and the food was great 👍. In my case vegan pasta with pesto. I'll definitely come back again.

Despite the high rating, I still found our visit somewhat disappointing. We ended up at this location looking for a tasty schnitzel. The schnitzel was tasty but the mushroom sauce was a bit disappointing. The service we had didn't speak Dutch, which of course I can't blame them for. However, it didn't seem to break a smile, which is a shame. From the terrace you have a view of the Rhine, with the occasional container ship sailing past.

Delicious food, great staff. Prices, well promenade prices.

Nice restaurant bar here on the Rhine in Germany

We love coming to eat here. Nice staff and delicious food. A good view of the Rhine. Always beautiful.

You sit there very well protected from the wind and have a good view of the Rhine

Nice restaurant with a terrace and conservatory. Delicious lunch for a good price. They speak both German and Dutch here

Very nice service staff, tries to spread a good mood and is as attentive as possible. Very nice view of the Rhine, I ordered a mixgrill plate and got what I imagined, it was very tasty. I will definitely come again.

Good breakfast at a reasonable price and right on the Rhine

More like mass processing, you have to make yourself very noticeable if you want something. Nobody really comes by themselves. Kind of strange when the customer has to take the initiative. Views of the Rhine and the bridge are very beautiful

They also speak Dutch, which was extra practical for us.

Food and service really fantastic! The ambience is a little old-fashioned, but not particularly noticeable.

You look outside at the Rhine (but you can't see much of it when you sit because the quay wall is so high) Last year we only had one coffee, but it took a long time until one came. Today we had it again, you are initially ignored for a longer time, even if it is not full. The drinks were then brought to us and we didn't even ask if we wanted to order something to eat, the waitress left so quickly. So wait. At some point we told a waiter that we wanted to order something and we should wait a moment. After ordering, it took a long time until the simple meal (omelet and a rice dish) arrived. It was too salty. The side salad was a joke (my leaves were limp) but it was definitely too expensive. A little more attention to the guests would be desirable.

Very nice view of the Rhine And then it stops Eating very large portions without any taste. Wiener Schnitzel tasted like nothing and everything was missing. Fries without salt. Salad: 3 leaves of lettuce, 1/4 tomato and a slice of cucumber. Staff hardly pay any attention to you.

The Wiener Schnitzel was absolutely meaningless.

Lots of breadcrumbs over the snitzel

Breakfast is ok so far, unfortunately there are no fresh rolls. The scrambled eggs don't taste good at all and the price is also very exorbitant for the quantity.

The restaurant is located directly on the Rhine and we had a great view. Unfortunately the food wasn't that good. Large salad was very clear Baked fish with fries were only a few fries for 18.90 euros, which doesn't fit. We probably got another portion of fries when we asked Too bad I expected more

Always good food here, it was a while ago but it all still looks the same as 10 years ago. Nice and cozy, staff can speak Dutch and German (most) German sandwiches are the best..

€5 for a latte? Once, but never again.

The best compliment is the view and an existing terrace. The service seems disorganized and restless. Not particularly inviting. Toilet is fine and even a changing mat is available.

Good food and beautiful view. Service is also fine.

Unfortunately the food was very tasteless and the meat was very stringy. Unfortunately, the vegetables weren't really cooked either

Food was good! Service was very nice.

I have never had such delicious food and the service is fantastic!!

Very tasty food, friendly staff and a beautiful view of the Rhine :)

Highly recommended! Especially the schnitzel parade on Friday in March.

Ich kann dieses Restaurant nur empfehlen. Bedienung top, Gerichte top. Und sehr schöne Ambiente. Preis Leistungsverhältnis ist auch okay!
