Scarabeo Minden in Minden

We had breakfast here. A great buffet. Fast service. Great atmosphere. We'd gladly come again.

Nice restaurant. Pleasant atmosphere. Great events.

A wonderfully inviting atmosphere to relax and enjoy. We spontaneously visited on a Friday when many Christmas parties were taking place and received a very warm welcome. A table was quickly cleaned and rearranged. At first, we thought it would be very noisy due to the size of the room and the large groups. But no, we were able to have a good conversation and eat in peace. The service was very friendly and attentive, and our food, a crispy chicken burger, was delicious. The stylish ambiance is fantastic. We felt very comfortable and can highly recommend the Wärmsteins restaurant.

We were a group of six for the Advent brunch and it was more than worth the money (€28.90 per person). The price included hot and cold dishes, as well as water, juice, and sparkling wine. The atmosphere and service were also exceptionally good. We will definitely be back.

The food is absolutely delicious, perhaps even the best burger around. The atmosphere is modern and very inviting. I'd gladly come back!

Scarabeo is truly a feast for the eyes, with a fantastic atmosphere and friendly service. Unfortunately, the food took a very long time and was of decent quality, although I've definitely had much better meals elsewhere. It's also very noisy, making conversation difficult in the large dining room. Nevertheless, it's worth a visit.

Friendly service, very delicious food.

Overall, the place is appealing; in my opinion, it could be a bit warmer, but that's really nitpicking. The staff is very friendly! And the food is beautifully presented, and the prices are affordable! There's an outdoor area where you can smoke a cigarette!

We were here for the comedy night. Nice restaurant, the food was very tasty, the cappuccino was good but only lukewarm. The service was excellent and very friendly. A definite point deduction for the men's restroom: all the urinals were clogged, one faucet was broken, and the towel dispenser was empty.

I was invited to a silver wedding anniversary celebration. The service was often slow. The food was okay. The atmosphere, thanks to the DJ, was fantastic. That was largely due to the hosts. Thank you for that. All in all: a successful evening.

I was there yesterday for a 30th birthday party, and it was my first time there. Lovely atmosphere, good food, outstanding service!!! Thanks for the lovely evening!

Great service, despite a big party. No long waits, excellent food and drinks. Very friendly staff.

Very delicious food and a great atmosphere. Unfortunately, it was quite noisy at times due to a wedding being held next door, but otherwise we really enjoyed ourselves.

I can only recommend the food; it was delicious and good value for money. We had to wait about an hour for the food, so if you're in a hurry, this isn't the place for us. What really made me swallow were the drinks; they were really expensive!

I was pleasantly surprised at how fresh everything tasted

I had my engagement there. Awesome location and super friendly. Great food and a wonderful atmosphere. Thank you so much for everything.

Very nice restaurant with a great atmosphere. Service was very friendly and helpful.

Good food with friendly service in an attractive ambience.

Top! 5/5 stars Food was very, very good Service was just as it should be! We'll definitely be back!

I'm very disappointed with this restaurant. They announced a ticket raffle and promised to hold the drawing that evening – but it never happened. To me, this clearly shows how little value they place on their guests. Apparently, they were disappointed that only 27 people participated and decided to simply ignore them. This is not only irresponsible, but also reflects poorly on the entire establishment. It says a lot about the restaurant's attitude towards its guests. Although I used to come here often, I won't be returning after this experience. Very unprofessional – and they've definitely lost a loyal customer.

Great ambiance, excellent service, always focused on the guest, very accommodating. And to top it all off, excellent cuisine. I'll be back.

Unfortunately, it was a complete disaster. Ordered: nothing for an hour. When we asked, we were told the food would come "immediately." After 20 minutes, nothing had arrived, so we went home with empty stomachs. The place looks nice, but the tables are so close together that you're almost sitting shoulder to shoulder with strangers.

Great ambiance and a good menu. The service was very attentive at first, but ultimately experienced coordination issues, as many tables needed to be served. Nevertheless, table service should not be slacking. The food was good and portions were generous.

First, the positives: The ambiance and service were really okay to good. We sat on the upper terrace with a lovely view on a balmy summer evening. Actually perfect. If it weren't for the food. There were six of us. Four of us had ordered different pizzas. All of the pizzas were far too short and baked at too low a temperature. Two pizzas were inedible because the dough was soggy and not cooked through at all. When we complained, the server initially suggested they could simply put them back in the oven and bake them again. With toppings like arugula, carpaccio, and fresh tomatoes, that wasn't a good idea. Besides, you can't "save" soggy dough by re-baking. She then took the pizzas back and arranged for us to at least get two new ones. These, however, were extremely tough and even more doughy. In my opinion, they're trying to imitate Neapolitan-style pizza here, but without mastering the proper dough or having an oven that reaches the necessary temperatures of over 450°C. In short: the pizzas, some of which cost over €22, were basically a complete disaster. I think they should have offered to remove at least two of the pizzas from the bill. However, we still had a pleasant evening...simply because we were celebrating a birthday, and because the service was at least attentive and remained friendly throughout. Oh yes, the other two dishes, a burger and pasta with shrimp, were good.

After spending a wonderful evening downstairs at the Rodizio, we rounded it off upstairs at the Scarabeo! Thank you for letting us be your guests. Customer service is a life-size part of our culture, and you can feel it! Thank you so much!

Delicious food (we opted for burgers), a lovely ambiance (the balcony terrace is highly recommended in good weather), and the service was admittedly a bit overwhelmed by the large number of guests, resulting in longer waits. However, the beautiful view more than made up for this :).

Great atmosphere, delicious food and very friendly staff

Highly recommended. Very well-maintained location. The food: TOP-notch The ambiance: TOP-notch The service: TOP-notch

Beautiful and modern restaurant with attentive service, a very broad menu, and still great quality!

Great restaurant, delicious food, and excellent service. I'd love to go back...

The menu was great, even for the price, everything was good, very nice service, we will definitely do it again

Very pleasant and relaxed atmosphere and the burger was very good!

We were there for a company event with a very large group. I would like to mention the incredibly friendly and attentive service staff; it was truly exceptional. Everything was perfectly organized; we never had to sit with empty glasses. The food (organized for us in buffet style) was also delicious and plentiful; there was no idle time. If you're planning a large celebration, you're definitely in the best hands here. A true asset to Minden has been created here; high praise!

Friendly staff, delicious food, great space (a bit noisy in the right-hand room, but nice to look at). A bit on the expensive side, but considering the size of the place, the number of staff, and the good service, it's appropriate for the good quality of the food, in my opinion.

Thank you Edvin for the great service. We'll be happy to come back.

We were at Scarabeo on Sunday evening and had a thoroughly enjoyable evening. The welcome was incredibly warm, and the service was consistently friendly and attentive. The food was truly delicious—fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. Overall, a very pleasant atmosphere where you immediately feel at home. We'd love to come back!

The ambience and atmosphere are simply breathtaking. Not to mention the delicious food, where there is something for everyone and it will simply blow you away. Super nice staff. Thanks to the Scarabeo for the great feeling. See you next time. 👍

If you want to have a particularly nice time, you've come to the right place: it's perfect from A to Z! A very professional, attentive and friendly team. 🤗Super delicious food 🍽️🍹🍹☕😋🤤. A really exceptionally beautiful 🤩 ambience, with a DANCE ROOM (with parquet floors), winter garden, and outdoor terraces that offer a beautiful view of the "swan pond". (Everything is clean, which is not a given today) In addition to the on-site parking spaces, there are many other free parking spaces on "Kanzlers Weide", you just have to briefly cross the Weser over the small "blue bridge" (pedestrian - cyclist bridge). We were visiting again and had a particularly great 🕺🎶💃SALSA evening this evening, 🎶which started after dinner with good MUSIC from a LIVE BAND "Eldorado Groove Orchestra" 🎶 Everyone, including the SALSA DANCERS who had traveled 💃🎶🕺, are still blown away by this successful evening. Even the “non-dancers” guests were carried away by the great atmosphere🥳 and were included!!! This literally calls for a repeat!!! So dear people, keep your eyes and ears open, then YOU won't miss 😉 the next SCARABEO 💃🎶🕺SPECIAL 🥳🥳🥳 A big THANK YOU for a very special evening 💃💃🥰🕺🕺🎶👌👍🍀 to Mr Mohamed Salah, his wife and team❣️👌👍🍀 You enhance Minden👏👏👏 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐The TOP LOCATION in Minden⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The prices in the restaurant are considerably more expensive than those advertised at the entrance. This obviously misleads the guests. That doesn't work at all.

One of the best restaurants in Minden, unreservedly recommended

Great ambience, super friendly staff, delicious food. Anything but ordinary.

Food, service & ambience 11/10. Best restaurant in Minden.

Great service Celine. Overall ok but ordered mineral water (it's not on the menu) Then got tap water still for 8.60 for 0.75 which in my opinion is ok for mineral water but not for tap water. Ordered rump steak medium and it came well done. Appetizer platter was very, very good and so was the wine.

Impossible, you can't even charge your cell phone and a tablet wasn't even a meter away from me.... No comment!!!

Unfortunately a lot of pork otherwise it was okay

Yes, I can recommend this place. The food is very good and I like the varied multicultural menu. The staff is attentive and friendly, the atmosphere is simply great. Great for a nice long evening with friends and family. Keep it up!

Was there for the first time and I was completely thrilled. Very friendly and attentive service, great ambience and delicious food. As a starter I had the ciabatta with aioli and bruschetta. The main course was the smash burger with curry fries. However, Smashburger is a relatively flexible term. The patty could definitely have been shmashed even thinner. For dessert I had the Panne Cotta with fruit. Overall the food was really excellent. So a clear recommendation.

I expected more. Burrata overpriced for portion size. Burger patty is falling apart, cooking point is okay, caramelized onions are not necessarily caramelized, bacon is still raw. Really a shame for the prices. Cocktails very good. All the plates tipped, making eating almost impossible. Plate shape not appealing

Food was very tasty! Great cocktails. Service was top and attentive! Even though the store was full, the food didn't take long to arrive! I found it a little too dark. Otherwise very modern! Conclusion: we would love to come back!

I'm a regular at the Minden restaurant "Scarabeo," located on Tonhallenstraße (first floor). The old cinema by the Swan Pond has been tastefully converted into an event venue. You can enjoy excellent food at "Scarabeo," but you can also have a delicious cocktail mixed in the bar area. No matter what you do, you can have a great time at "Scarabeo." I highly recommend this event venue. 👍👍👍💕💕💕

We had a very nice evening here! The staff was very friendly and attentive. The food was very tasty and everything was perfect. We also really liked the location. Nice atmosphere and music was good and not too loud. We would love to come back 🙌🏻

Every visit to this restaurant is a little highlight! The friendly atmosphere and the beautiful ambience ensure that you immediately feel at home. The food is fresh, tasty and creative - and the service is always attentive and warm. A great restaurant for every occasion that I can absolutely recommend. I always enjoy coming back!

Very tasty, cozy, and highly recommended! Very friendly and attentive service. All the dishes looked delicious. My recommendation was the burger or pasta (salmon), and it was extremely good.

A real luxury store for the city. But also expensive.

A special ambiance for a convivial evening The Scarabeo isn't a classic restaurant – the focus here is on ambiance and atmosphere. The location is unique and stands out from typical restaurants. Perfect for spending a relaxed evening with friends and enjoying the special atmosphere with good drinks. The food is good and fits the concept – the value for money is absolutely reasonable given the location. However, if you're looking for a romantic dinner, this is probably not the right place. But if you want to experience a stylish evening with good company and delicious drinks, you should definitely try the Scarabeo! If you'd like any changes, just let me know!

A fantastic evening with eight friends! Amazing service and amazing food, something for everyone! Great staff, keep it up! Thank you...

The parking situation is a disaster; there are far too few parking spaces. The ambiance is really nice, and you can also rent it out for weddings, etc., and the staff is great too. We were often asked if we needed anything else and whether we liked the food. Sometimes maybe a little too often, which can be a bit annoying for some, but that's probably just their policy.

Great atmosphere and good food at affordable prices!

I love the location and the ambiance! Simply fantastic! Superb quality and top-notch service! I'd love to go there again!

Best store in all of Minden I always come here when I'm in Minden

We were there for the New Year's Eve party. Almost everything was perfect! We sat in the conservatory. Unfortunately, the music was much too loud. Despite the very friendly service staff's best efforts, they were only able to remedy the situation at short notice. You can still have a party with less loud music. The music makers should take note of that.

Beautiful restaurant, friendly service, and the food was delicious. We'd love to come back😊

A very impressive, modern location. The food is excellent. The service is very attentive, well-organized, and friendly.

Mr. Mike, Minden. I was there with guests on November 18, 2023, and November 18, 2024, to celebrate my birthday. On both evenings, after the sumptuous meal, I was completely surprised to see the entire staff celebrate with disco lights, music, singing, and a cake. These were two unforgettable evenings.

I went there for the first time on Saturday and the food, the ambience and the service were great

So it was better than at Bahnhof's Eck and the staff are very accommodating. I can recommend it!

The ambiance at Scarabeo is very nice. However, it's also quite loud if you sit in the large dining room. The service was good. The food was mixed. The appetizer plates were very good (but there was hardly any bread, so we had to ask for more). The main courses varied. The pizza isn't recommended, but the burgers and salmon are tasty. Overall, the food is quite good, but the prices are on the high side. Too expensive for what you get.

Wow! I've never seen such good and friendly service. The food is outstanding. Everything is wonderful! And the location is beautiful, too.

A restaurant of a special kind. Simply classy

Nice location, nice atmosphere. Just right for a fancy drink. Unfortunately I think the food is very overpriced for the quality. E.g. I ordered a Caesar salad with chicken breast, which cost €22. You had to look for the parmesan, 3 cocktail tomatoes and some cucumbers, they don't really belong in there. But the fries are very tasty. I'd be happy to come back, but then more to have a drink.

To celebrate my birthday, we went to Scarabeo on November 21st for a cozy dinner. The welcome, ambiance, and food were once again fantastic. A big compliment to the entire team and especially to our lovely waitress, Ms. Beyer, who gave us excellent advice and service. We'd love to come back. Best regards, Harald, Gisela, Dagmar

An enrichment for our Minden. Muhammed made it a jewel from Minden

We were there for the third time now and are always thrilled. Today we went there with friends and it tasted excellent. We had starters, main courses and desserts and everything tasted amazing. Everything was lovingly prepared, the service was very attentive and the cocktails in the evening rounded everything off perfectly. We can recommend the Scarabeo with a clear conscience. They have won us over as regular guests. Thanks to the great team.

Very tasty food, cool music with good sound, great show if it's someone's birthday. Very large and super renovated. Toilets very clean and modern. Clear recommendation to go here!!

Interesting place with good food!

Nice ambience and great salsa party - we still have to try the food

Food came super quickly and was very tasty. Added to this is the great ambience. I can only eat here highly recommend.

Very good food. I would say it's the best burger far and wide! The cocktails were also very tasty. Service very, very attentive and friendly. We will be back. Keep it up!

On October 11th & 12th, 2024 we were at Scarabeo with a group of 8 people. Our friend in the wheelchair was immediately taken around the house to the elevator. We have never experienced such great staff. Everyone was smiling and super friendly. The food was very good and we also really liked the ambience. But the staff there is unbeatable. If you're in Minden and don't go to Scarabeo, it's your own fault.

An all-round carefree package with the best recommendations for the ambience, great service and top food. With 8 people, Spent 2 great evenings there (one of them with live music). The price-performance ratio is absolutely consistent and justified.

An incredibly great atmosphere and super delicious food 😊👍🏼

Very tasty food; something for everyone! Nice ambience. @Franzi, great service! We'd love to come back!

Were there yesterday with a larger group of 12 people (we reserved in advance). Very friendly, attentive staff. Food came to everyone at the same time, hot, well prepared and super delicious. Great ambience, despite the large room, the background noise was quiet and pleasant. Price -Performance ratio was completely ok. We'll definitely be back!

Super nice atmosphere, delicious food and drinks, great attentive team... a very special gastronomy

10 out of 10 stars..great ambience, great food and great team.. Reservation via WhatsApp without any problems...just great...

We've been there several times, always very good. Thank you

A very nice location, tastefully decorated. Well eaten and drank, friendly service. Gladly again!

Chic snow restaurant with great food

Very nice atmosphere, the outdoor terrace is recommended when the weather is nice. Nice service, top price/performance 👍

So first of all, it tasted great, the service was very friendly and very attentive. The food came without a long wait, even though the shop was pretty full and that was already at 6 p.m. We didn't have a reservation, we came there spontaneously on our bikes, but we still got a spot. The drinks came quite quickly and the ambience was also pleasing... if only there hadn't been such a huge volume in the huge hall, like in a train station, you could hardly have a conversation, but that might also have been due to the group of guests was already full of snot at 6 p.m. All in all, we'll definitely come back again because of the great food, and maybe there are a few places where you can eat in peace.

The staff in the store is very nice and the store is clean and beautiful

Very nice restaurant in Minden.Top location, not too loud when it's full.Cocktails are great and the food is also very good.The next visit here shouldn't take long.*****

Very good food, great and fast service and a great ambience.

My first time in Minden and got the chance to experience this restaurant. Array of dishes proposed is nice and the waitress will help you going through neatly. I got an enjoyable experience on the terrasse dining and could appreciate the very nice atmosphere of Minden and its people.

We spontaneously came here for dinner and were very satisfied. Reservations are recommended and can be made online. The ambience is great, the service fast, friendly and flexible, the food was delicious and plenty to fill you up. We'll definitely come back when we're in the area.

Very nice👌👌👌👌👌 Different 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Very nice restaurant, on the roof terrace with a view of the pond and trees. Ambience also inside, valuable. Service nice and helpful. Food e.g. The burgers are excellent value for money. They taste good and include fries. Possibly a problem for people with walking disabilities. Since the restaurant is on the first floor via wide stairs.

Super tasty, everything was perfect, service was very friendly and attentive. We would love to come back

The new TOP address in Minden. I can only recommend it!

I was here for a business lunch. A wonderful ambience - an absolute highlight - and attentive service. Good value for money. I'd love to come back.
