Restaurant Hohenegg in Konstanz

Very tasty food and very friendly staff. Takeaway options are also available.

The Mozart steak was perfect! The cream sauce and fries were perfect too! The salad dressing was a bit too much (for my taste). We'll definitely be back. The location has a beautiful view of the lake. There's a large terrace to relax on.

Unfortunately, it was a complete disappointment for me. The service is really poor, which you can tell right from the moment you make the reservation. Very unfriendly. We all found the food rather mediocre, but the prices were rather high. In my opinion, it wasn't a very good restaurant with a good location. There were three of us, and unfortunately, we were all disappointed.

One star is for the view over the parked cars to the lake. They charge 24 euros for a few minced meat rolls with rice and salad, which is absolute extortion. For that, you get ink and chairs with cushions from a 1-euro store.

We don't understand the previous 4.6-star rating. The only positive aspects were the quick seating and the locally brewed beer and house wine – more of which could have been used to offset the waiter's mood. Everything was served correctly; there's nothing to complain about...but it doesn't deserve the designation "service." The main issue – the food. It tasted more like it had been warmed up, was only lukewarm, and poorly presented. The decor also seems very dated – if we weren't in Konstanz, I'd easily use the phrase "GDR charm." One positive aspect is the location directly on the lake.

🍽️ Great view, but disappointing food 2 out of 5 stars The Hohenegg restaurant in Meersburg entices with a truly beautiful view of the lake and friendly staff – but unfortunately, that's about it. Unfortunately, the restaurant didn't impress us with its food during our visit. The prices are quite high – €29 for a steak assumes a certain level of quality. Unfortunately, the meat was tough, undercooked, and overall, the flavor was simply not harmonious. The other dishes didn't quite satisfy us either. For three people, we paid over €100 for food and drinks – that would have been fine in principle if the culinary experience had matched it. However, the value for money was disappointing. Conclusion: A plus for the view and friendly service, but if you value good food, you won't be happy here.

Really, really delicious. Tasted fantastic and fresh.

Excellent!! The terrace faces the lake. Total relaxation. 😊

Fast service, despite it being busy.

The grilled meat, as well as the cewapcici and pljeskavica, were raw. The waitress didn't bring us a new drink when a wasp flew into the glass. She took it out with a knife and returned the glass to us. Not recommended.

Great location and great, attentive, friendly service. The food is very good.

First of all, the beer was delicious. We didn't have any food, as the kitchen closes at 9 p.m., so we only had the beer. The ambiance is very, very "old school." Only the view earns the ambiance two stars. Service was good and friendly. But, as I said, it was only two beers.

Beautiful view of Lake Constance. Large terrace. I really enjoyed it, and so did my wife. June 1, 2025 One star deducted because the staff sometimes registers new guests too late.

It's a traditional restaurant with a beautiful view, so the service must not be good. From hair in the food, to raw chicken, stringy salads, dirty plates, to incompetent and uninterested waiters. They are actually quite unfriendly and rude. The head chef looks tired and, as per protocol, greets the large tables, but shows no real interest. He even seems absent-minded. I've known this restaurant for 10 years and unfortunately it has gone from bad to worse. I would definitely not recommend this restaurant. The prices are far too high for the quality.

Sehr gut: Parkplatz vor dem Restaurant. Schöne Aussicht. Leckeres Bier. Der Rest war unzumutbar. Trockenes Schweinefilet, totgekochtes Tiefkühlgemüse, Tiefkühlbeilage, etc. Für den Mist viel zu teuer.

We passed by on our bike ride and spontaneously stopped in without anything to eat, just a drink. We received a super-friendly welcome and were served very quickly and friendly, even without anything to eat. Very courteous service. We would definitely stop here again.

Summary: A mixed experience with a great view The reservation went smoothly, but getting there was difficult due to misleading Google Maps navigation. The drinks – especially the beer from the neighboring brewery – were excellent. Unfortunately, there was an error in the food order, which the waiter didn't address much. The children's portion was large enough, but the main courses were rather expensive (€22–€40). Unfortunately, the curry and pork loin were disappointing in quality. The only bright spot: the beautiful view from the terrace. Detailed review: Restaurant Hohenegg – beautiful view, but room for improvement in service and cuisine Our reservation at Restaurant Hohenegg was straightforward and friendly – ​​a great start to the evening. However, getting there was more difficult than expected: Google Maps suggested a route via a footpath and bike path, which can quickly become confusing for drivers. The drinks menu deserves special mention, especially the beer, which comes directly from the neighboring brewery – fresh, well-chilled, and high-quality. Less pleasing was the handling of the food order: There was an obvious error, resulting in the wrong dish being brought out. However, the waiter reacted unprofessionally and insisted that "Pumukel" was written on his note, even though he actually meant "Pokemon." (A portion of fries instead of spaetzle with sauce.) No accommodation or solution was offered. We simply reordered the correct one. The meal itself had its ups and downs. The children's portion was generous and would have been enough for an adult. The main courses ranged in price from €22 to €40, which raises expectations of quality that were unfortunately not met: The chicken curry was disappointing – the rice still had too much bite, the chicken was tough, and with five small pieces (approx. 100g), the portions were rather lean. Some of the pork loins were also undercooked; only one was okay (schnitzel with egg and fried potatoes). The only real plus point of the evening was the fantastic view from the terrace – a great place for a sunset or coffee, but unfortunately not a convincing place for a good dinner.

Idyllic spot, wonderful view of the lake

Freundliche Bedienung. Könnte jedoch mehr auf die Wünsche der Gäste eingehen. Wir hatten einen Aperitif bestellt. Die Bedienung wollte jedoch wissen was wir zum Essen möchten. So haben wir bestellt. Es kam dann alles zusammen. Viel zu schnell. Das Essen war gut.

Terrible service. Hospitality is a foreign concept here. We left before we even ordered.

The food came very quickly, but was fresh and delicious.

Fantastic location, very welcoming hosts, and excellent food. We'd happily return anytime. 100 percent recommended.

The atmosphere resembled that of a youth hostel and gave us a very bad feeling. The fries were reminiscent of a visit to an outdoor pool – bad, but better than nothing. The price of €6.80 shocked me. Overall, the food was very bland and tasted like it had been reheated; not recommended. Poor value for money. And our request to sit outside was also not honored – but when we left the restaurant, other guests had been granted the option. It's a shame – especially considering you pay high prices for a location directly on Lake Constance. Although we were at the Rhine Falls that same day, it wasn't the biggest disappointment of the day.

Great views and delicious food, what more could you want?

I found the service a bit minimalist. No smiles. We weren't escorted to our table when we were greeted. The chairs didn't have cushions, which I had to arrange. I also called ahead and was told there was space, but only outside, which I wasn't told. The food was good. The children's menus, however, aren't as creative...

Disappointing experience - not recommended The value for money was disappointing. The staff seemed unfriendly and unhelpful. When we asked for a child seat, we were simply told that one was available - but we had to get it ourselves. Overall, the food was unspectacular and unconvincing. The ice cream sundae as a dessert was particularly negative: the ice cream tasted cheap and was very reminiscent of discount goods - not the quality you would expect in a restaurant. A repeat visit is out of the question for us.

Food and service top, schnitzel freshly prepared, fried potatoes just right. Perfect view of the lake. People who leave negative reviews here must be incredibly demanding or incredibly unlucky.

A quick stop during a motorcycle tour for a Swiss sausage salad with mustard dressing and bread, with non-alcoholic wheat. Fast friendly service, food was good. Atmosphere outside a bit dated, but OK.

Only had a drink. Price did not match the price list (we had to pay more).

We enjoyed the parking spaces of the Ruppaner brewery in beautiful surroundings (but only after the not so beautiful factory complex. The restaurant is cozy. The interior is well maintained, an older style. Especially beautiful. The food was very fine. Enjoy cheese spaetzle and beef liver with a view of Lake Constance... wonderful.

An outdated restaurant, the food was rather mediocre, but the service staff was extremely friendly.

Very friendly and uncomplicated staff. Super delicious food. Great for families and a great view.

Very nice outdoor terrace, nice view. Facilities a bit pent up, but everything was clean and the staff was extremely friendly.

It was our first time , reasonable prize, nice view , attended well and the food were perfect and delicious. We definitely our regular stop for a lunch !!!! Or dinner to try next time !

Terrace wasn't very nicely decorated. Food was very good and staff friendly.

We went for dinner on April 3, 2025 in the evening from 6 p.m The service was very friendly and attentive We ordered a fish platter for 2 people, it was a disaster, the fish was grilled dry, I think it was broken fish from the freezer from the winter, the vegetables were overcooked, more like a vegetable mash, the potatoes were still cold inside I asked the waitress about it and she said she would pass it on to the kitchen and offered us an espresso on the house which was really good

Schnitzel below average, fish musty, boiled beef too, beef liver quite good, side vegetables frozen and then cooked to death, shop was full...

A wonderful restaurant with a beautiful view! The staff is very friendly and professional! All praise!

Great location, excellent food, very friendly and attentive staff

It was spontaneous, but very tasty. Can only be recommended. Cozy restaurant with plenty of space and a very nice terrace with a perfect view of the lake.

It's a shame that you can't seem to avoid criticism of the food here. We ate there, it wasn't anything special and the rating was accordingly high. Two years later, attempts are being made to intimidate people with Google complaints. Really dubious, that's not how you should deal with criticism.

Sehr gutes Essen, sehr freundliches und zuvorkommend Personal, tolles Ambiente und dazu noch eine schöne Aussicht. Was wünscht man sich mehr?

The Hohenegg restaurant in Konstanz/Staad is highly recommended. The food is excellent and reasonably priced, and the staff is very friendly and accommodating. The atmosphere is cozy and informal, making it a pleasure to return again and again.

Very tasty food and beer at moderate prices with good service. The view of the lake is priceless when you can see past the parked cars

The food was very good and the service was very friendly

Very good Croatian cuisine. However, the menu has a few meat-free or vegan warm dishes.

I highly recommend it! The food, in my case the Brauhaus platter, was tasty and generously portioned.

We ate some really delicious cakes here and would love to come back.

Very good food, extremely friendly service, great view over the lake, highly recommended

We had to wait a long time for our food even though the restaurant wasn't full. My fish fillet was very dry and the vegetables were overcooked and oversalted. My companions' food was good.

I visited this restaurant because there weren't any other good, home-style restaurants open for miles around. But it was worth it. The service was friendly and the food was delicious. Just what you'd expect. The ambiance was also appropriate, just not outstanding, hence only a 4-star rating. But otherwise, everything was fine. My visit, however, was a month ago, on November 29th.

We were traveling back to Munich from a new years getaway in Colmar. I found this place as one of few open places on the national holiday. Everything was great. The food is freshly cooked and the portions are very big. The restaurant overlooks the lake and has a beautiful view of it. On top of a very good food, quality service, and beautiful atmosphere, the chef made our day by personally coming to our table and asking whether we liked the food. We loved this place and will come back if we’re ever around again. I can imagine how much more beautiful it would be sitting outside on a summer day.

Very tasty, cozy atmosphere - you felt at home.

Very tasty fish platter and good coffee. The service is always attentive and friendly.

Ich war Heute mit meiner Familie und einem guten Familien Freund hier im Restaurant Hohenegg zum Weihnachtsessen. Heute gab es eine Feiertage Karte mit verschiedenen leckere Speisen. Wir hatten eine sehr Freundliche, schnelle Bedienung. Ich, meine Frau, mein Schwager und meinen Familien Freund hatten die Weihnachtssuppe. Sie war echt sehr schmackhaft und gut. Anschliessend gab es eine bunten gemischten Salat, war auch sehr gut und die Salatsosse hat mir Super geschmeckt. Ich mein Schwager und Markus hatten Fleisch Spiess auf Balkan Art mit Pommes, Tomaten Gemüse Reis, geschnittene Frühlingszwiebeln und Peperoni / Paprika Sosse. Der Fleischspiess war richtig gebraten, das Fleisch war drin noch schön saftig. Hat mir und alle anderen gut geschmeckt. Meine Tochter und meine Nichte hatten Schnitzel mit Pommes... Zwei wirklich richtig zubereitete Schnitzel, die Panade überhaupt nicht trocken und das Fleisch saftig... TOP Schnitzel! Meine Frau hat das Hirsch Gulasch gewählt, mit Preiselbeeren, gekochte Williams Birne und Spätzle, auch sehr sehr gut (die Portion war Grosszügig). Hat an meiner Frau auch sehr gut geschmeckt. Und meine Schwester hat etwas mit Fisch und Gemüse bestellt, war auch sehr Schmackhaft. Einige von uns nahmen noch eine Nachspeise "Apfelstrudel mit Vanille Eis Kugeln, Apfel Schnitze und als Deco frische Minze" war auch sehr Super lecker. Zirka sechs Leute nahmen noch einen Kaffee und wir drei Männer noch ein feinen Brand vom Balkan (hat uns sehr gemundet. Die Bedienung war Hervorragend, der Total Preis Human, überhaupt nicht überrissen [da hat man wirklich für das Geld noch richtig etwas bekommen]. Wir haben das Lokal mit Zufriedenheit und Begeisterung verlassn. Im Sommer bei gutem Wetter kann man draussen Speisen mit der schönen Sicht auf den Bodensee. Wir alle sagen... Dies Restaurant kann man sehr gut Empfehlen!!!

Overall it was unfortunately a very disappointing experience. The taste of the food was not convincing and the staff seemed unmotivated and annoyed. Konstanz definitely offers significantly better alternatives.

The food was ok, but unfortunately the service left a lot to be desired.

We planned our daughter's baptism dinner with 35 people and held it in Hohenegg. Nothing was prepared when we arrived at 12 p.m. as agreed. The service from A to Z was unfriendly and overwhelmed at the same time. For every 35 people we had one waiter who was extremely overwhelmed and unfriendly. The meat was tough and some guests couldn't eat their meat. Coffee sometimes came 30 minutes after ordering. When I wanted to pay I was asked how it was, which I thought was great, but the waiter rejected everything and talked his way out of it instead of accepting the criticism and apologizing. I wouldn't hold a party there again. The location is great but you shouldn't rely on it. The restaurant is getting old and the furniture and interior design are from the 90s.

Food and service not recommended. Cheese spaetzle was lukewarm, the fried onions sprinkled on top didn't deserve the name because they were cold and tough. The cutlery lay on a plate that was dirty with candle wax. Missing napkins on the table were not discovered by the service staff. We had to wait longer for the bill, the waiter always had something else to do other than bring us the bill.

We went here with friends and it was very tasty and entertaining. Many thanks to the entire team!

Nothing special, but quite ok for a German restaurant... We still had table arrangements from the night before on the table and a food maggot crawled over the tablecloth from a flower. It wasn't that big of a deal, I brought it outside on a napkin without comment, but it detracted from the overall impression...

Simply fantastic, view, ambience, sunset

The boss greeted you personally. Very nice service and delicious food

Bisher für mich das in Konstanz leckerste Sauerkraut, klasse gewürzt und ein perfektes Kartoffelpüree zu ausgezeichneter Blut- und Leberwurst zu einem günstigen Preis. Dazu eine Flasche super Rotwein aus Südafrika: Ulumbaza - ein perfekter Genuss mit Seeblick.

You will be welcomed very friendly. View of the lake is gigantic. Food is fantastic big portions. Can only recommend it. We'll be back.

The grill plate was super tasty and the portion was just right

Great view, attentive service and very good food

Delicious food with a beautiful view. The access is a little strange, there is a sign saying no access, but next to it it says "Until Restaurant Free", so don't be put off. There is enough parking space and a beautiful view of Lake Constance. The quality is good and the toilets are clean. Well-being is very important here. Thanks for the delicious food.

The food was good, but unfortunately a drink order was forgotten. Although the restaurant wasn't very busy.

Quaint restaurant with a view of the lake and directly adjacent to the traditional Ruppaner brewery. Absolutely good value for money - very friendly service!

Good portion size, good preparation, harmonious selection, friendly service, table reservations possible by telephone, open daily, fair prices, parking directly at the house, terrace with lake view, plenty of space inside - you can't go wrong with a visit to the Hohenegg restaurant.

Still tastes good. Back then, people were served very nice plum liqueur after their meal. Unfortunately that is now missing.

If you like flowers, then this place is a must. So many species in a subtropical climate: fantastic.

The food was quite good, although a bit overpriced. Little choice for vegetarians. The view, on the other hand, was really beautiful and the service was great too! All in all recommended.

The service was not well organized. Except for that, I really liked my beer and there is a nice view on the lake.

I had the Argentinian rump steak with chanterelles and cream sauce from the daily menu, my wife had the trout Müllerin. Simply perfect. And the view of the lake made its contribution :-). The waiter was extremely attentive - we felt very comfortable! The best thing at the end was that we were allowed to spend the night here with our motorhome (6m van)!!!

Very nice location. The food was good and plentiful. Reasonable prices for Konstanz conditions.

Tasty (and plentiful), casual, great view, good 🍻, nice service

When the weather is nice you have a good view from the terrace

Nice beer garden within sight of the lake. Food was great. Gladly again

The restaurant has a beautiful terrace overlooking the lake. There are enough parking spaces available in front of the door. It's a little hidden behind a brewery. Service was okay and the food was also delicious. However, we had the feeling that with two children we didn't fit in with the expected clientele. The terrace itself also looks much cozier in the official pictures than it actually was.

Ok, aber leider nicht mehr. Das Bier ist frisch und gut, die Aussicht traumhaft. Das Essen ist durchwachsen. Für eine Wanderpause aber gut, auch wenn im Vergleich zu anderen ähnlichen Gaststätten teurer.

Nice place. Food was very tasty. However, at 20 euros for a normal schnitzel it's a bit much. When the weather is nice you can enjoy it on the terrace with a view of Lake Constance. If the weather is bad, there is enough seating inside with 80s/90s charm.

Very good restaurant and the food is very good and moderate prices

High quality at a good price. Very friendly and warm service. Come back soon! 😊

Large outdoor terrace with a somewhat limited view of the lake due to taller bushes. Good service and good food, large portions, everyone gets fed! Not cheap anymore.

Food good, employees very friendly.

The only fault is that the portions are way too big.l

Best steak I've eaten in a long time.

Always a nice event when you can enjoy good Yugoslavian cuisine with this great view over the lake.

Great meal in a great atmosphere!

Had a delicious lunch with good beer (the brewery is next door). My wife had a tasty tomato soup and I had a wurst salad (photo) Beautiful view over Lake Constance. But... service could be a bit nicer.

The food is very delicious. The head chef kindly asked if you liked the dinner. We had dinner here with a group of 15 people, and our table was reserved. The waiter was not nice at all. When we asked him to take a photo of us, he was upset that he couldn't do it. The kitchen closes at 9 p.m., but since he didn't let us know that, and didn't tell us that he would close, if we might ask for dessert, we can't rate them. He shrugged, saying that the kitchen closes at 9 and the restaurant closes at 10. When we told him he could take the empty plate away, he simply put it on another table with a bored face. It's worth coming here for the food and the view, but the service is sad and spoils the mood.

We weren't happy with one of the dishes and got a free dessert to make up for it, bravo

I ordered schnitzel without onions, I was full and it tasted good.

Top outpatient with a great view of the lake

Unfortunately, the restaurant obviously has massive staffing problems. We were told as soon as we sat down that we would have to wait at least an hour. Not a word of regret, no offer of a bread basket or anything similar. The service was not very accommodating and quite unfriendly. When the food came after more than an hour, the spaetzle on two plates were cold. After our complaint, which was accepted without complaint, we waited again for about 15 minutes to be served. The food was quite good, but not outstanding. We cannot recommend the restaurant.

Would be a great location... That would be a great service too! Waiters couldn't be unfriendly! In any case, I don't know anyone unfriendly than the one in Hohenegg! The fact that they then serve expired beer and, when complained about, simply point out that all the bottles of this variety they have in stock are already expired, was reason enough for us and another guest at the next table not to show up here again! 🤪

Expired beer served! Today, July 18th, 2024, around 4 p.m. we were served a Ruppaner 1414 dark with an expiration date: May 30, 24 (…). The complaint was received grumpily and we were told that all of these beers had expired... No apology from the waiter... A guest next door overheard everything and quickly left his seat... They also saw us as guests...

I ordered boiled beef and received a carelessly prepared plate. The vegetables were frozen and the souse was warmed up from a can. Absolutely ok for a snack bar, but not for a restaurant with this price level.
