Restaurant Zur Arche in Voerde (Niederrhein)

We had a very pleasant evening! Great location, right on the Rhine, lovely ambiance, very good food, good service, but a smile would be nice for some. We'd love to come back! Finally, a restaurant with a small selection of fish that also tastes really good!

Super-friendly service; very tasty food (e.g., chanterelles with pork fillet, mushroom schnitzel, etc.)

The atmosphere is very pleasant; reservations are recommended. The restaurant is also well-attended during the week.

Quiet atmosphere, beautiful view, tasty cake, friendly and attentive service always happy.

We enjoyed a delicious meal in a fabulous setting, sitting right on the Rhine. The service was very friendly and attentive. We highly recommend the restaurant and would gladly return.

Good as always. Highly recommended.

A beautiful, atmospheric place with an incredible view. I was only there for coffee, but I'll definitely be back.

Friendly service, delicious food and nice ambience

Food 5/5, Service 5/5, Ambience 7/5 Perfect.

Wonderful location with a fantastic view of the Rhine. Very good food and extremely friendly service.

Well-kept middle-class hotel with a wonderful terrace directly on the Rhine.

We regularly visit the restaurant and always experience a very friendly, empathetic, and courteous approach to us and other guests. The food is always excellent – ​​especially the fish dishes!

They cater to every customer very well. Right on the Rhine. Come by sometime. Maybe we'll see each other...

Nice restaurant, friendly staff, good selection of food and drinks at reasonable prices

A very nice restaurant with excellent food and a fantastic view of the Rhine. Highly recommended!

Always a nice place to stop, for example, on a bike ride. Delicious cakes, tarte flambée, waffles, and very friendly service. Highly recommended.

Excursion restaurant with a beautiful view of the Rhine.

We were here as tourists. We spent a lovely few hours on the terrace in perfect weather. The service team is excellent, even when the restaurant is at capacity. A note about the food, which we had also mentioned on site, is that the roast beef is sliced thinly, which enhances the flavor, like a good ham. Hence the only 3 stars. Another note: The service was so good that our courses were served very quickly one after the other. Perhaps they were a bit overambitious here. Perhaps they should ask the guests how much of a hurry they were in. We wanted to eat leisurely.

The food was soooo delicious, we'll be back!

Recommendation…: Drive to the ark in Voerde… Look at the Rhine… Order a drink of your choice… In addition, order a good meal and chat with the super nice, always friendly staff… ...and you will notice. I'm in the ARK...; forget all the stress and anger of the day, look at the mighty stream and relax…!!!

Nice little place with a great view of the Rhine. Good food, but not so cheap. But it's logical because of the great view.

Very good and competent service, even for the group everything was perfectly served

Today we went to eat here for the first time since the renovations. The atmosphere is great, the service is friendly and attentive. We both enjoyed the food. We'd be happy to come back.

Super delicious food, great service!

The food, service, and beautiful view of the Rhine were perfect; we'd love to come back!

Beautifully situated restaurant on the water, food was great, service very good

Even if there are free tables, you're not allowed to just have a drink; you're already screened at the entrance. If you want something to eat, you're welcome (that's what makes money). Otherwise, you have to leave.

Very tasty, served quickly and very politely 👍

Very nice restaurant with good food and a great view of the Rhine... Always happy to return...

Not recommended at all, especially children are not welcome here.

Yesterday, I went to a restaurant with a friend for dinner. We each had a starter, a main course, and a dessert. All the dishes were delicious and served very promptly. The restaurant was busy, but the service was still on top of things, friendly, and prompt. We'd love to come back!

You can sit outside with a lovely view of the Rhine. The food was good, and the service was friendly. We'll be back.

We celebrated our non-religious wedding at "Zur Arche" in Götterswickerhamm – and it was simply stunning! The location directly on the Rhine offers a unique backdrop that made our day unforgettable. From the very beginning, we received an incredibly warm welcome and professional support from Mr. and Mrs. Pillekamp. Regardless of the planning, the scheduling, or even the smallest details – we felt in good hands at all times. On the day itself, everything went smoothly: The service team was attentive, friendly, always smiling, and absolutely reliable. Our guests were also thrilled – with both the ambiance and the food and the fantastic team. A huge thank you to the entire Arche team – you made our day perfect with your support. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a special, heartfelt location. Kerstin and Jürgen H.

We drove 60 km from Bochum because they said it was a great place to sit and have a drink. When we got there, we were thrilled. As soon as we sat down, we were told to order food, otherwise we'd have to leave the table after 30 minutes. I've never experienced anything like it. You're forced to order food if you want to sit longer. Never again! Absolutely NOT recommended. We definitely won't be coming back.

The chanterelle mushrooms with rösti were delicious. The service was extremely friendly and attentive. I'd be happy to go back anytime.

I celebrated my birthday there; it was great. Good food and a beautiful view of the Rhine.

We went today and it was delicious. The food was delicious, and the homemade lemonade and iced tea were also a hit. The staff is also very friendly and helpful. If we're ever in the area again, we'll definitely go back.

The Zur Arche restaurant in Götterswickerham is definitely a place you shouldn't miss! From the moment you arrive, you'll be enchanted by the idyllic location directly on the Rhine. The atmosphere is pleasant—cozy and inviting. Whether you're sitting inside in the tastefully decorated ambiance by the panoramic windows or outside on the terrace enjoying the view of the water and the passing ships, you immediately feel at home. The service was excellent. The manager and staff were attentive, friendly, and very accommodating, without being intrusive. You can tell that they work with passion and that the well-being of their guests is their top priority. And now for the most important thing: the food! The menu offers a diverse selection of dishes. The lunch menu may be smaller, but everyone should find something here. Between lunch and dinner, there's coffee and cake and some snacks—such as tarte flambée or goulash soup. Great emphasis is placed on fresh, high-quality ingredients. The portions were generous and filling. Fortunately, there are also smaller portions available for children and seniors for most dishes. Unfortunately, a flat €2 is deducted from the price for dishes that are halved. This is common practice at comparable restaurants, where the price is 20-30%. I'm deducting a small star for this. If you still can't make it, you can take the leftovers home, well-packaged. The wine list is also well-stocked and offers a selection to complement the dishes. All in all, our visit to the Zur Arche restaurant was a complete success, and we'll be back often. It's a great place for a tasty meal, a cozy evening with friends, or even a family celebration. The combination of good food, attentive service, and a beautiful view of the Rhine makes this restaurant a real highlight. I can wholeheartedly recommend the Zur Arche restaurant in Götterswickerham and am already looking forward to my next visit!

Modernly renovated with beautiful views of the Rhine

Great restaurant and very good food.

We celebrated our wedding at the Arche, and it was simply dreamy! All our expectations were exceeded. The location directly on the Rhine is simply magical. The terrace overlooking the water, the beautiful decorations, the atmosphere... everything was designed with so much heart that we felt completely at home. The service was absolutely first-class: attentive, friendly, and professional. Every single member of staff was fully committed and contributed to making this day perfect. The food was divine!!! Fresh, lovingly prepared, and tasted fantastic. The drinks selection was also outstanding, and all of our guests were absolutely thrilled. We highly recommend the Arche to any couple looking for a truly special wedding venue. For us, it was exactly the right choice, and we would do it again anytime! A huge thank you from the bottom of our hearts to the entire Arche team. You made our day unforgettable!

Great atmosphere. I'd love to come back. The food was absolutely delicious. Regards, Norman

Unbelievable!!! The ambiance, the friendly staff, the view, and the excellent food. We were a wedding party of 14 people, and we were able to eat à la carte. The table was beautifully set. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. The food was truly delicious. I highly recommend it. Amazing. 👍👍👍

The fresh chanterelles were delicious, the view of the Rhine was priceless, and the sweet finale tasted delicious. See you soon, we look forward to it.

I was more than thrilled with the food. The service was truly first-class, and the view was absolutely stunning. Thank you so much for everything.

The "Arche" is very invitingly decorated: bright, friendly, tastefully, and elegantly furnished. The large panoramic windows with views of the Rhine are stunning. The service is personable, friendly, and very attentive. There were seven of us, and everyone enjoyed the food. The visit was an all-around successful evening celebrating a birthday.

A very pleasant atmosphere, with very attentive and friendly service. The food was very tasty and well presented. All at a reasonable price. The restaurant offers a beautiful view of the Rhine. The four of us were very satisfied.

Located in a prime location on the Rhine, that alone is worth a visit. We thoroughly enjoyed a summer evening with a holiday feeling. The staff are well-organized, very friendly, and very prompt. The food was excellent, and the strawberry-rhubarb spritzer is highly recommended.

It is always an experience to sit on the outdoor terrace in Götterswickerhamm, right on the Rhine, and enjoy good food when the weather is nice.

On a wonderfully sunny day, we enjoyed our meal on the terrace. The location on the Lower Rhine creates a wonderful holiday feeling. It's a great place to unwind. The service was excellent and attentive. This certainly won't be our last visit.

Today, at 6:15 p.m., we were just about to get a table when we arrived from afar... First, I headed toward the restroom, when suddenly a waitress appeared out of nowhere and demanded my money... outrageous!!!)) Oh, and she even asked for a reservation)) The restaurant is 75% empty...

As always, attentive staff, friendly and accommodating. We'd be happy to come back ☺️

There were two of us here on June 8, 2025 (Whitsun Sunday) for the asparagus buffet. It sounded quite nice, as it's peak asparagus season. It was anything but nice; the asparagus was hard, bitter, and cold. 🥹🥹 The salmon fillet was dry, as was the zander. There was also grilled asparagus, which was only lukewarm. I must say it was very thin and tasted good. Then there weren't any schnitzels; they were warm but unfortunately also dry. The buffet selection wasn't justified at €42.50 per person!! If the weather had been better, you could have sat outside, but whether the asparagus would have been any better is debatable. I won't be coming here again!! That was my experience, and that's my opinion! Just try it out for yourself, folks, and see if it's for you. Tastes differ, and there's no accounting for taste. 🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮

Just had a drink. It was great.

⸻ Cozy restaurant right on the banks of the Rhine in Voerde. The food was fresh and delicious, especially the fish dishes. Friendly and attentive service. A special highlight: You can watch the cargo ships passing by – it almost feels like you're on the water yourself. Very relaxed atmosphere, we'd love to come back!

Unique location on the Rhine. Good views from both the beer garden and the restaurant interior. Great menu with plenty of fish. A fine lunchtime menu with lighter bites and select cakes. The service was fast and courteous. Only the entrance and exit from the parking lot is not entirely safe... Very annoying! I drove to the Arche twice – from Duisburg – and it took a while... Closed on Friday for a private party, then suddenly closed on Tuesday because Thursday was a holiday... We and others were surprised to find the doors closed on both days... It wasn't listed online! Poor service! Often, this shouldn't happen in the digital age!

In glorious weather, we enjoyed a wonderful day with 53 guests, enjoying excellent food. The service was very attentive and prompt. Despite the high temperatures, it was wonderfully pleasant on the shaded terrace. The team at the Arche made these wonderful hours possible.

We had a table by the window overlooking the Rhine. We enjoyed the food. The service was quick and friendly. See you next time!

We had schnitzel on Whit Monday. For the price (over €20!!!), it was very carelessly served on the plate, garnished with a slice of lemon on a green leaf. That was it. The five croquettes and the schnitzel were completely out of place. Many kiosks have more garnish on their plates and are cheaper! Far too expensive!

It was our first time there. It was a fantastic restaurant with a beautiful view, outstanding service, and a wonderful atmosphere. The asparagus buffet was very extensive, and everything tasted outstanding. Highly recommended!

Always a pleasure and a treat. Excellent service and no waiting times, even when the restaurant is full.

Delicious food, great atmosphere and friendly, attentive service.

Good restaurant with delicious food and friendly service! Beautiful view.

Beautifully renovated, modern yet cozy. The wonderful view of the Rhine has been preserved. Unfortunately, we couldn't use the outdoor terrace due to the Pentecost weather, but we look forward to it when it's better. Very friendly service. We weren't disappointed for the third time. The Advent breakfast, one à la carte menu, and today's asparagus buffet were delicious and well-stocked, selected, and portioned. We'd love to come back! Thank you so much!

Everything was simply perfect. The food was delicious, everything fresh. My asparagus was absolutely perfect—delightful! The waiters were very friendly, accommodating, and attentive to our needs. And the view—simply priceless!

Unfortunately, the food was beyond bland. I had fish on pasta. There was barely any sauce and the entire meal had zero flavor. My companions felt the same. It's a real shame considering the high price. The service was very attentive and friendly. We sat outside, which was also really nice. Overall, I'd just order a drink next time.

Many thanks to the "Zur Arche" team for a thoroughly enjoyable evening! The food was excellent, the service consistently attentive and warm. We also really appreciated the authentic interior design – you immediately feel at home. And the view of the Rhine was the icing on the cake. We would happily recommend the restaurant and would, of course, gladly return ourselves!

I had two birthday parties with over 20 people. The food was delicious. All my guests were very impressed and had great praise. There was always plenty of refills. The service was excellent: very attentive and always a friendly smile! The ambiance is also very nice. Through the large windows, you can always see the Rhine and watch the boats!

The value for money is absolutely excellent. The food tastes and looks very good and is served by attentive young staff. The reception in the restaurant was particularly striking: friendly, attentive, and—in my opinion—very personal for regulars. You don't experience this complete package very often these days!

Staff very arrogant and unfriendly!

Very nice place with a direct view of the Rhine 👌👌👌🙏🙏🙏

As always great! Recommendation goes out!

A beautiful location right on the Rhine. The food was delicious, the service was good and fast, but the prices were high.

Nice restaurant, right on the Rhine.

As always, we enjoyed it very much. Excellent service, great waitresses, and delicious food with a delicious wheat beer. And all this in one of the most beautiful spots on the Lower Rhine. We're always happy to be here. Gudrun + Bernhard

The location is very nice—right on the Rhine with a great view. Prices are reasonable, and dogs are allowed. Parking is available next to the restaurant. It can get crowded during peak coffee hours.

Delicious tarte flambée is on the menu after 2 p.m. A very nice spot right on the Rhine.

Beautiful ambiance, very friendly and attentive service, and the food was excellent (salmon on grilled asparagus). A great evening!

The new and modern designed restaurant has really upgraded to modernity. We were there as a large family and were treated to friendly, quick and great service. Plus the great view! We'd love to come back!

How beautiful the restaurant has become... Great food, such a warm and nice welcome. Simply beautiful….. will come again

1 star I ordered a steak medium, but it clearly didn't come medium. When I told the waitress this, she asked me if I wanted to eat something else. When I asked why, she said that the chef wouldn't prepare the same dish again because it would have to be thrown away if it wasn't right again. This is completely incomprehensible to me - I expect a steak to be prepared the way I ordered it. If a restaurant is unable to cook a steak to the desired degree of doneness, that is a real disgrace. Very disappointing! We were allowed to eat the salad at the end, thank you!

Everything is actually right here. Food, view, service were excellent.

Very nice location right on the Rhine with a view of the ships passing by (unfortunately it was too cool that evening for the spacious outdoor terrace). Good home-style food selection, tasty dishes, very friendly, attentive and quick service.

Unfortunately I have to say that the shop probably no longer needs to cater to thirsty cyclists. We were there at lunchtime on Thursday and wanted something to drink but we were turned away because they only let guests in for lunch and half the shop was empty so we passed on our money to a local. Thank you for nothing, we won't be coming back

We were there again with our parents after a long time. The entrance is easy to reach with a wheelchair and walker. The sanitary facilities are also designed to be barrier-free, but cannot be accessed with a wheelchair (please request in advance). A beautiful day in nice weather - everyone happy and satisfied

Despite free tables, we were unfortunately denied a stay on the grounds that almost all tables were reserved. 5/2/25 around 5:25 p.m. Very unfriendly service!

A really recommended place to eat and feel good. Many thanks to the service and the kitchen for the wonderful hours.

You always feel warmly welcome here You can also go here very well with children.

We had coffee with 12 people. We had a lovely table and the service was excellent. Despite the group and a simultaneous wedding reception on the terrace, we were looked after in a very friendly and attentive manner. Cakes and waffles tasted excellent. Gladly again!

Good location on the Rhine and nice view. Unfortunately the outside terrace was closed due to a fire. Society not accessible. Friendly and courteous service. Fish cooked to perfection. Food with good quality and plenty - price-performance ratio is good. Allergies are easily taken into account.

Went there for the first time today. Super nice and very friendly service. Great view of the Rhine if you get a window seat. The food was just great. Very fresh and tastes great. Coffee and cake are also worth recommending.

We thoroughly enjoyed the Easter brunch. The food was excellent and the service was courteous and warm. This is how you celebrate Easter with a smile on your face. Thanks for that.

Easter brunch (unfortunately) on the upper floor, where it was quite loud and annoying stairs. But the food and service were convincing.

We ate here for brunch on Easter Sunday. For brunch: It's really a full breakfast buffet and a full lunch buffet. We were very satisfied. The quality of the food is right! The tables were very tastefully set and the staff was very attentive and friendly. The location is of course an experience directly on the Rhine. It was a really nice day, thank you very much!

Very nice restaurant, with great service, good food in a cozy atmosphere and a great view of the Rhine.

Birthday 🎂 celebrated great service drinks and food were super tasty and very satisfying. 🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸

The food was excellent and the service was incredibly friendly and warm. We will definitely come back.

Very good food and best service. The location also speaks for the restaurant. The fish dishes are highly recommended. We'll be back

I was looking for a restaurant on the Rhine to celebrate our wedding anniversary. I reserved online. I wanted to discuss something over the phone, but unfortunately I couldn't reach anyone despite repeated attempts. So I sent an email. On the day of the visit I tried to call again and someone actually answered the phone. I didn't know whether my email had arrived. My request via email arrived and was implemented. We had a wonderful evening. The location was very nice, the table was decorated appropriately for the occasion, and the food was very good. Thanks to the whole team.

We felt very comfortable again. The food was very tasty, the staff was very attentive and everyone was very friendly and welcoming. We would love to come back!
