Rotes Haus am Kulkwitzer See in Leipzig

Food is too small and overpriced. Fries aren't cooked through! They sell soft drinks as and when they're in the mood... no street sales.

The ambiance is truly wonderful – stylish, cozy, and inviting. Unfortunately, the food doesn't quite live up to its reputation: the taste is rather mediocre. The service was mostly unfriendly and overwhelmed. I even had to wait quite a long time for a single beer. Overall, the service seemed inexperienced and poorly organized. It's a shame, because with a better team, much more could be made of the beautiful ambiance.

Never again! Drinks are overpriced! A complete rip-off! Staff rude when ordering, seeming listless and unfriendly! €6!!!! For an iced tea

A dump!!! Very long wait times, unprepared and overwhelmed staff, unreasonable prices, and there seems to be no communication between the manager and staff. Absolutely not recommended. (This lovely place needs a better location.)

Very nice location with a terrace right on Lake Kulkwitz! The food was so-so, but it's a great spot for a rest stop!

No pizza, no pasta carbonara. Poor food quality – convenience food!

Very unfriendly service, we were told not to even order food: "I'm telling you right now, it'll take at least an hour, better not. I won't be able to make it anyway." It's all in the tone... Drinks were only available at a few tables, and most left. And not even all of the tables were available; at 50% of them, you weren't even allowed to sit down. And all this on a holiday with beautiful weather. Apparently, there was no ice cream either, even though a child had bought some shortly before. Chocolate ice cream with bad vanilla ice cream... unfortunately, not recommended.

Yeah, pretty good! Unfortunately, the view of the lake isn't really great due to the many trees. The food was okay. Unfortunately, the drinks were warm, and the white wine wasn't ideal. Service was friendly. Paying was difficult because there wasn't enough change. Otherwise, it was a great place to sit outside in nice weather. The interior looked quite well-kept. The restrooms were very dimly lit, but clean.

Nice ambience, nice service. Had 2x Club Mate for 3.60 per 0.2 L - really expensive considering that you get more than 2 glasses out of one bottle of Mate. Pizza with Gorgonzola and ham - wasn't really convincing. Yes, a lot of ham but no Gorgonzola taste. All in all.....can be expanded

Service was so subpar that we decided to starve and die of thirst.. And if we didn't die, we'd still be dying of thirst today... Fun, but when we arrived at this establishment we were very rudely told that we wouldn't be served without a table, that other people would ask questions or that the staff would simply say no. what's the problem with selling a water bottle? My friend has epilepsy and diabetes and we would have paid 10 euros for a 500 ml flat…….

We were there for the first time today. We waited quite a long time despite the restaurant not being full. The staff worked hard, but there was little sign of restaurant experience among the staff. The food got cold because no cutlery came. Some of the food came separately. No thanks or warm words after payment. No asking if it tastes good. The clothing of the employees is sometimes inappropriate for a restaurant. The toilets are very dark. You can hardly see anything, especially since you're out of the sun in summer. The pizza was burnt and very very small for the price. There was wilted arugula on both the pasta and the pizza. The noodles are very expensive for the quality and the small portion. The Aperol Sprizz at the next table was very light and with very little Aperol. We also noticed that guests were leaving food back. Ok for a stopover with cyclists. Not recommended for more. We will no longer visit this location.

A wonderful place to stay and eat.

Well attended today for MAY 1st, but not really full. You wait 50 minutes for 2 iced coffees and a cup of coffee. When you ask, you get the answer that you should go somewhere else. That's the very last thing. We then took up the offer and left after 60 minutes without the coffee coming. Incidentally, other guests left who had waited forever to take their orders. In addition, the gentleman with glasses at the tap was friendly, *unfriendly* and snotty. I think hospitality is something else!!!!

As in previous reviews, I too have to rate it mostly negatively! Unfortunately, the potential of the location and its location is not used. The environment is not well maintained, the tables and parasols are unclean and not comfortable. The staff, who are apparently unfamiliar with the basics of gastronomy and seem totally overworked, should better look for another job. And the highlight is the food. Waited forever, taste well and, as with everything, price-performance in an absolute misunderstanding! Conclusion: Never again!!!

Yesterday I was in the Red House for the first, but also for the last, time. The boss personally greeted him (the waitress said that it was the boss) with the words "There is no self-service here, find a seat outside!" After we found a seat, we waited 15 minutes until we were spoken to for the first time, and another 15 minutes passed until the drinks came. The disputes among the staff about who was responsible for which area and whether the area where we were sitting was even served was loudly discussed in front of the guests. I owe the fact that I got my food to shouting across the entire seating area: "Who's got the pizza here?" And honestly, €5.70 for a 0.4l cola? I don't even pay that in the city center. I am sure that many guests are happy to be able to sit and eat and drink, but very few guests will feel a feel-good atmosphere or even the desire to be a guest in the Red House again.

a very considerate restaurant! They pay attention to the health of their customers as follows: very long waiting times so that you don't rush 😊; eat cold food to avoid getting burned; In addition, the cold food is burnt to at least make the eye think that you are eating something warm. nice thought of the customers with precautions, very attentive. ps: the drink contains 0% carbon dioxide so as not to confuse the tongue😍

Don't! Waiting time to place an order: >30 minutes. Waiting time for drinks: + approx. 30 minutes, but then only half comes. Food: cold bratwurst and charred pizza. Toilets: light not working, paper all over, sink flooded. Service: 2 completely overwhelmed waitresses (I felt really sorry) who had to endure incredibly unfriendly comments from the boss. It's a shame about the beautiful place...

The location would be ideal for a drink in the evening sun...the view over the lake with a cool drink...unfortunately the view is blocked by a wooden wall, everything has now been concreted over and up Allotment garden level. The girls in service are obviously afraid of the owner; it's just not a pleasant place anymore. Opposite on the bank you can sit relaxed on the lawn or in a deck chair and enjoy the chilled out music.

So... given that it's only March and a lot of things are still closed at all the lakes in the area, we were very happy to get something to eat and drink... nice atmosphere, nice service, although not necessarily easy to communicate with! The food was... well, I had a pizza that was freshly prepared, not frozen, great! My companion had a chicken schnitzel with fries, the world looked different, both frozen goods and well not that great...

Prices high, long wait, and then I vomited and had diarrhea

I don't know what kind of boss is who lets his one employee work alone under that stress. Therefore 1 star. Because most bosses only think about money rather than employees and customers.

Nice place by the lake with potential 👍 I like this: The location directly on Lake Kulkwitz is beautiful and offers a great view. The outdoor terrace is inviting and invites you to linger. The staff was friendly and tried hard. 🤔 This could be improved: The menu could be a little more varied. The prices are a bit high for what is offered. The cleanliness in the sanitary area could be improved. 📌 Conclusion: The Red House on Lake Kulkwitz is a beautiful place with a lot of potential. The location and the view are really great. However, there is still room for improvement in the menu, prices and cleanliness. Overall, a visit is definitely recommended, especially if you want to enjoy the relaxed atmosphere by the lake. 😊

Despite the opening times stated on Google and on the homepage, the restaurant was...

Today, we walked around the Kulki in glorious sunshine in a good mood. To finish off, we wanted to treat ourselves to a coffee in the "Red House" outdoor seating area. The prices there are completely exorbitant. A 0.3-liter paper cup of coffee costs €5.80, and a 0.2-liter paper cup of fruit tea (single tea bag) costs €3.30. The highlight, however, was the waffle (€4) – small and microwaved, so it was hard. It also came with a homeopathic amount of applesauce. I politely pointed out to the waitress that the waffle was hard – no reaction or apology. Conclusion: My good mood was gone.

We were there today because, according to Google, it's open until 9 p.m.! Well, before you specify closing times, you should open first. A 2-euro parking fee on your back, thanks for that.

The waitress was all alone but she was so hard-working and really ran the place. She prepared food and drinks and served very friendly! All attention! Hopefully the boss knows what a piece of gold he has.

Standing in front of a closed door 🤦‍♀️ According to Google, Imbiss would be really stupid 😡

Service staff are unfriendly, overwhelmed and fresh waffles take an eternity and are then not even fully baked! Waiting times for service and to pay are better if you go in yourself!!!

Highly recommended! Friendly, fast service, great value for money, just like the food! Very happy again! Thanks to the staff!

Unfortunately it wasn't open, even though the internet said it was open from 12:00.

I've only heard negative things about the service in the red house. A few weeks ago I was able to see for myself that the service is even worse than is told! Unfriendly. Definitive. Picked up. Expensive. A running shed that calls itself a restaurant... Food can only be eaten on site. So if you want to eat a pizza, you MUST first put on your shoes, pants and t-shirt in the shade at 38° degrees and only then can you place your order. Garden overheated despite sun protection because the sun is shining all day and there is no breeze around it because of the privacy protection.. Preparation takes forever! The pizza must be consumed on site. #shakehead French fries, fish rolls, bock and bratwurst are excluded. You can order things to take away. However, the prices are a bit cheeky. You feel uncomfortable here and determined by others

First something positive: the restaurant is very well located and (if someone were to prune the greenery) would have a great view of the Kulki. Now unfortunately the negative: although the restaurant was almost empty, we had to wait almost 10 minutes for 2 drinks. Not bad, but weird. We ordered a pizza and a plate of pasta and this is where I almost lost my faith. The pizza looked like it had been made by a 12 year old after watching a YouTube tutorial on how to make pizza “quick and easy” at home. In addition, the base was only half cooked and full of raw flour, so after one bite your mouth is full of flour. My friend's pasta was also a joke... a consistency like it was cooked 3 days ago and now stored in the fridge. The spaghetti was also cut into small pieces (which I just don't understand at this point) and totally peppered. Apparently they poured a nice handful of pepper over it instead of the parmesan. Since we were able to simply return the food after my complaint on site and didn't have to pay for it, I didn't actually want to write a review; But when the waitress, after taking the food away, instead of apologizing, simply slapped us the drinks bill like a petulant child, I wanted to warn future visitors about this platform. All in all: a shame about the beautiful restaurant.

pleasant restaurant Terrace overlooking the lake Was ideal as a stopover on our bike trip around Leipzig

That's OK. If the area underneath was properly designed, it would be quite a view. But otherwise you are satisfied

The plum cake and coffee taste really good. The restaurant is well attended and invites you to linger. I can only recommend the Red House.

Beautiful location, nice industrial romance with a view of Lake Kulwitz. Unfortunately the service was a disaster. You wait forever for service and we were forgotten/overlooked several times.

Waiting tables is really the easiest job in the world, but people here are too stupid even for that. After 40 minutes without drinks or food we left...

Waited two hours for food and got nothing. Left hungry. On a nice day at the beach you actually have much better things to do than sit at a table and wait.

Nice service and great view of the lake.

Good pizza, nice service and nice terrace. Recommendation !

This restaurant was a really good address before the current operator. Now you shouldn't go there anymore. Food and drink completely overpriced. Bathers are only allowed to enter if they are dressed according to etiquette, so by that I mean it should only be a scoop of ice cream. So in my experience, I continue to avoid this location. It's really the worst on Lake Kulkwitz.

Yesterday we wanted to get ice cream and something to eat in this restaurant, we stood in line at the counter for a quarter of an hour and were ignored, no "good day", no "please wait a moment, it's about to start!" There wasn't much going on, a maximum of 3 tables on the terrace were occupied. So we left without being served.

Eine Empfehlung definitiv wert! Schön gelegenes Restaurant mit toller aussicht auf den kulkwitzersee ein Traum! Junge Dame im service sehr Nett! Sie hat uns beraten und uns Empfehlungen für das es gemacht da wir uns nicht entscheiden konnten… Hatten das Gefühl das sie denn beruf lebt. Das essen war der Hammer!!! Frische und Selbstgemachte Pizza ein traum. Ein großes dankeschön für diesen unvergesslichen Mittag!

I was served warm beer on a warm summer day. Only after complaining did I receive the information that the cooling system wasn't working... the beer from the fridge was significantly better. the food was also delicious 👍

Absurd waiting times and absurd prices.

I ate here with my wife on Monday and today and I was thrilled. Despite a bit of stress (on both days), the waitress remained focused and approached the guests in a very friendly and energetic manner. On Monday we ordered the tagliatelle with smoked salmon and before passing on the order she explained how the dish was constructed... that really impressed me and my wife because not everyone is so enthusiastic about this job and has such a positive attitude! ! My fullest respect to the waitress for doing this at such a young age, something you don't see that often anymore! Of course, my respect also goes to the kitchen for keeping a cool head despite many orders! Would love to come back and recommend it to everyone!!! :)

Probably the most expensive restaurant on Lake Kulkwitz!? Saskia Lidl mineral water 0.4l for 4.5€ that's cheeky! Very long waiting times even though the restaurant was not well attended. This is definitely better!

Am Kulwitzer See im Bester Lage. Es gibt viel für den Magen auch zum Mitnehmen. Wir hatten eine Bockwurst (3,50€), leider nur wenig warm. Eine Gartenlimo...0,4l für 4€. Bedienung mittelmäßig freundlich. Die Lage macht es für Gäste die vor Ort essen, wieder attraktiv.

A pleasant, beautiful restaurant by the lake. Chefe is a fun company friendly. Unfortunately a bit expensive

Went there twice in one day, once for ice cream, that was OK and went quickly. We wanted to eat pizza there in the evening. At 7:38 p.m. we were told drinks yes, food no, as the kitchen would close at 8 p.m. Then you cannot specify 9:00 p.m. as the opening time. Then after a drink you leave again with an empty stomach. It's a real shame, as the guests are unlikely to come back.

Die Lage ist gut ! Der Chef ein "Macho" und die Bedienung rennt und rennt und schafft es fast nicht. Essen lange Wartezeit und es schmeckt ja geht so. Die Preise dafür zu hoch, Pizza zu klein. Wir kommen nicht mehr dort hin. Schade für die schöne Lage 😉

We were there at 8:05 p.m. supposedly open until 9 p.m. The other table still got its food and we were told the kitchen was now closed We thought it wasn't a problem and had a drink, and the employee replied that it was no longer available at 8:20 p.m

Ate on the terrace overlooking the lake. Friendly service, fabulous food.

It's a shame about the beautiful restaurant, the staff is simply overwhelmed, it seems as if they have no experience in catering. Hardly any people there, but it still takes a long time before you get served. We just wanted ice cream and were ignored and then sent from one colleague to another in a bad mood.

It should have been open until 9 p.m., but it was closed

Very friendly staff. Unfortunately the price level is too high. Ileburger soda from the pet bottle in a 0.4 l plastic cup for €5.70...phew

Wonderful outdoor space. Small, manageable map. Staff very friendly. Food very tasty.

Rarely have we seen such demotivated staff, but with the boss standing in the restaurant screaming, it's no wonder. At 1 p.m. half of the terrace was still closed, no cutlery set or menu. Some cards were laminated, others were completely wrinkled and unsightly from the rain. The arugula on the pizza was yellow and hadn't been fresh for a long time. Unfortunately, my salad was no different. The complaint was dismissed, no apology or anything. On the contrary, you had the feeling that no one cared. It's a shame, but unfortunately not everyone can do gastronomy. Just the location and a cool house are not enough these days. We definitely won't be coming back.

It's quite a long wait for service... but it's quite nice.

According to the internet, it was open today at around 6 p.m., no one to be seen, everything was locked. Had a long journey. Greetings to your Admi trainee, something like that doesn't work. Sour !!

A nice place to relax at Kulki. The service was very pleasant, the food and drinks were also very good. We'd love to come back.

It was a mistake to come here. Drinking coffee with my two companions was difficult. A cup of coffee (large) 5.10 euros. Cake prices So la, la. We won't come here again.

Thanks for nothing. We got a seat and a ticket straight away. Unfortunately we waited in vain for the waitress. After half an hour we left without food or drink.

Very nice location with friendly staff. Prices are reasonable and you have a beautiful view of the lake. There is delicious scoop ice cream!

Service disaster. Overwhelmed. Makes an unclean impression. Prices okay. Fish sandwiches are served fresh with good loaded rolls but unimaginative. There is a waiting time of half an hour.

Unfortunately the service was disappointing. After an hour of waiting and after asking, we finally got our food. It was already cold, but still delicious. But I also noticed that several other customers didn't have so much patience and asked for their money back. A little tip for the staff: introduce numbered pieces of paper. You often walked around aimlessly without asking who would get the food you ordered and carelessly let it get even colder on the counter.

Since I noticed that the staff was very busy and was only carrying food out and back in, I decided on a bockwurst, which really doesn't take any work. After waiting patiently for a quarter of an hour, I was informed that there was no more food, that something had to be prepared in the kitchen and that the kitchen had just been closed. That was 1:45 p.m. on a Sunday. The website advertises food and drinks during opening hours. I don't think it's particularly customer-friendly to make customers wait unnecessarily.

We were there outside of the session to actually just drink a latte, which according to the staff wasn't available. We then decided on a normal coffee. A few minutes later a couple came out with a latte. I found it a bit bold. Otherwise nice place...

nice ambience, sunny patio with a great view. The staff quite friendly. The young lady seemed to be running the place. Cash register, service and operation. Thanks to their help, our food came to the table fairly quickly.

Basically a nice location. But even on a cool day with few customers, you are obviously overwhelmed. And the promised cherries 🍒 with the waffles (which were really good) there were raspberries 🤷🏻‍♀️

Unfortunately there are almost only meat dishes, apart from a salad. How sad in 2023! We then went somewhere else, our children don't want to eat meat anymore, we feel sorry for the animals.

Живописное место, еда и напитки на высоте. 🙂 Но ОЧЕНЬ медленное обслуживание 😒

Sehr liebe Betreiber, Gute Preise in schönem Ambiente... leider nur nicht das volle Potential ausgeschöpft

Das Essen ist nicht zu empfehlen. Die Mitarbeiter sind sehr nett und zuvorkommend.

Sobald es voller wird: Ist die Küche überfordert. Es werden Bestellungen aufgenommen über Speisen, sie bereits nicht mehr verfügbar sind. Pommes dauern eine halbe Stunde Wartezeit. Und die Portionen werden sehr viel kleiner zum selben Preis.

Trotz Schließzeit laut Internet, hatte das rote Haus am Dienstag geöffnet. Wir waren sehr glücklich darüber und auch andere Gäste fanden es sehr gut.

Sehr nette und zuvorkommend Bedienung, klasse Küchenchefin! Essen war super lecker, hatten Pizzen und Nudeln mit Sauce. Highlight für uns waren die Kräppelchen, kannten wir bis dato nicht, "einfaches" Essen jedoch sehr köstlich.

Wir worden gut bedient. Essen und Trinken war okay.

Das Personal ist sehr freundlich das Essen ist sehr lecker ich kann es nur weiterempfehlen empfehlen

Die Location ist sehr schön. Ein Freisitz, der sowohl Schatten- als auch Sonnenplätze bietet. Es lief entspannte Musik, der Kaffee war sehr lecker und wurde schnell serviert. Nur die Waffeln mit Eis und Himbeeren, die wir bestellt hatten, ließen beinahe eine Stunde auf sich warten. Nach zwei Nachfragen unsererseits kamen sie dann endlich, mit einer Zusatzkugel Eis als Entschädigung für das Warten. Leider waren die Waffeln eine Enttäuschung - hart und fettig. Das Eis und die Himbeeren konnten das etwas übertünchen.

Wer hier bei gutem Wetter herkommt, muss lange in der Schlange stehen. Zu wenig Personal.

Hatten uns im Net über die Öffnungszeiten erkundigt. Wollten wegen der Lage dort hin, aber leider war geschlossen.

Sehr schön zum Verweilen mit Blick auf den See.Leckeres Radler ,guter Salat. Fischbrötchen ist eins der leckersten rund um den See. Wir kommen immer wieder gern hierher.

Einfach nette Leute. Kompetent, Freundlich, Ich / Wir kommen gerne . Super Ausgleich nach dem Triathlon Event gerne zu Empfehlen. Familie Radtke und Freunde

Vollkommen überzogene Preise bei absoluten Schleuderservice

Leider hat alles viel zu lange gedauert.

Das rote Haus ist ein sehr schönes Strandlokal mit traumhaftem Ausblick auf den Kulkwitzer See. Das Personal ist immer recht freundlich und selbst im größten Stress zu einem Scherz bereit . Die Preise sind für ein Ausflugslokal sehr moderat . Ich komme immer gerne und wieder hier her mit meiner Familie .👍👍

Im "Roten Haus" war ich nicht, sondern spazieren am "Kulki" ...

8 € für Bier 'n Bockwurst find ich jetzt nicht gerade günstig. Dafür waren die Toiletten sauber, an einem Sonntag an dem viel los war am See.

Mega Pizzen 🍕 für einen sehr fairen Preis und freundliche Bedienung.

Haben den Imbiss genutzt. Gute Lage direkt am See.

Bedienung war freundlich aber das Essen kann man vergessen.

Schöne Location direkt am See..

Kaffeepause mit Blick auf den See .Sonnenterrasse

Schöner Ausblick auf See, Gutes Essen sowie Bedienung. Sehr gut.

Schöner Ausblick, freundliches Personal Leckeres Essen 🥘 gerne kommen wir als Familie wieder dort hin :)

Die Location ist sehr schön der Service zu sprechen noch besser Kann das Essen nur weiter empfehlen sehr lecker

Das Restaurant bietet leckeres Essen und freundlichen Service. Die Portionen waren großzügig und der Preis war angemessen. Die Atmosphäre war entspannt und einladend. Insgesamt ein gutes Erlebnis!

Es war zwar eine nette Bedienung da, jedoch kaum etwas im Angebot. Kind nahm eine Bockwurst und einen Kinderpunsch und ich einen Glühwein. Slushi stand mehrfach draußen dran, gab es nicht. Bockwurst lag wahrscheinlich den halben Tag im Wasser, sie schmeckte garnicht und das für 3,50€. Die Heißgetränke waren okay, sowie auch die Aussicht auf den See. Im Sommer probieren wir es vielleicht noch einmal mit Bratwurst und Kaltgetränken...

Bedienungen hatten Probleme bei größeren Andrang. Angebotene Speisen waren breit gefächert, geschmacklich leider nicht so gut gewesen.
