Seehaus Cafe in Tegernsee

The view is the only good thing about this place. The food was poor quality – our €14 Caprese came with unripe, badly cut tomatoes. Prices are way too high for what you get, and the service was rude. Drinks were fine, but I’d only come here for a drink, nothing more.

After a polite question about whether they were still open (it was 7:30 p.m.), I received a very cheeky reply that I could probably just say hello first. The question would have been unnecessary if the table had still been set, with a candle or some other decoration. We were very happy to receive two cold drinks. There was nothing else. I think the location by the lake is great, but everything else around it doesn't make you feel welcome.

A beautiful place to enjoy a drink on the terrace and look out over Lake Tegernsee.

Perfect place to stop after a hike for reasonably priced and uncrowded beers. It's cash only, but the signs on the tables are very clear about this.

I can recommend this place. Unfortunately, it rained, so the great outdoor seating by the lake wasn't available. But it was quite nice inside, too. The service was super friendly. The food was good. We'll go back.

Very nice ambiance and cozy, located directly on the lake behind the town hall.

Very unpleasant experience and the staff obviously has better things to do than serve customers.

A quick experience: We had just occupied a table when the waitress came to clear it after the previous guests. When I saw the notice on the table, I asked, "Is payment only possible in cash?" The waitress nodded and seated two other people at our table right in front of us. This behavior seems like a sign of gross disrespect and is simply discouraging. We hadn't even mentioned that we didn't have any cash. What a waste of time.

An unbeatable, beautiful location right on the lake. We had very friendly service every time. However, unbelievably in 2025 - no card payments! 🙈

The service was neutral, and the location on the lake was great. There's nothing special on the menu. The staff seemed stressed. All in all, the Seehaus thrives on its location. Cash only, in a tourist destination, and given the current climate, it loses points. I won't be visiting again.

The very friendly service, top location

Very nice view of Lake Tegernsee with a cocktail in the evening 🤩

Nice place, normal beer, but very slow service.

The staff is grumpy, and guests feel like they're disturbing the place. We had cake and coffee, which tasted good, though.

We took the steamer over and had a drink there. The staff was friendly. The drinks and fries came quickly and tasted delicious. The view is fantastic.

Very unfriendly staff, a limited selection of cakes, none of which were particularly tasty. Of course, the location is excellent, but that's about the only thing they have going for them – and they're probably just "resting on their laurels." It used to be a nice place, but unfortunately, not anymore.

Seven of us were there today. We wanted something to eat and drink. The waiter who tried to serve us was completely unfriendly. Because we had moved the umbrella 30 cm because of the sun, he immediately gave us a hard time. He claimed we were blocking the path, even though all the umbrellas were in the path. After we confronted him about it, he said, "Don't argue with me." He then left. We then got up.

Best location right on the lake, always well attended by friendly and relaxed people of all ages. A really nice young boss with a feel for genuine and warm hospitality, a team of hard-working girls, a small but fine food and drinks menu, a welcoming atmosphere and a charming restaurant. What more does a person need in life? Why go on holiday when the best is right on your doorstep? Chapeau my friends and a very sincere "thank you" for being there. A little insider tip is the well-tempered "rarity fridge" on the first floor. A few days ago I was waiting for visitors and had to move from the terrace into the restaurant because of the impending storm. I was thirsty and in Prosecco. The friendly bar manager recommended a German sparkling wine to me. It was absolutely brilliant and the price-performance ratio was amazing. 🔨 As luck would have it, I knew the winemaker personally. The world is so small. In the rarest of rarities, wines and sparkling wines of the highest quality slumber. I'll get to them sometime. I promise. So, dear Seehaus team... stay the way you are, with your heart ❤️ in the right place and simply unique. P.S. Thanks again to Chrf. He saved my life today. Without a light, there's no joint, and without him, no 100% relaxation. Take care and stay healthy. See you very soon at the "Seehaus" Tegernsee. Your biggest fan, Heiko

Here you can sit wonderfully in the sun as well as in the shade 😎👍🏻 with an unbeatable view 👌🏻

Very nice, located directly on Lake Tegernsee on a jetty with through traffic. We enjoyed a delicious piece of cake with cherries and an iced coffee, absolutely delicious.

It's a lovely spot to sit right by the lake, although the footpath along the lake leads right through the beer garden. The staff were very friendly, and we got our drinks very quickly.

The sundowner was quite nice. We'd love to come back.

Good compari spritz with a beautiful view on the lake. Only cash payment.

Very expensive. The toilet was completely dirty, and the staff didn't care when we pointed it out to them.

I recently had a deeply disappointing experience at this coffee restaurant. The staff were incredibly unfriendly and treated us with an arrogant manner. When we asked if we could eat on the terrace, we were rudely told that this was not possible – without any explanation or courtesy. Instead, we were fobbed off with a curt "Sit somewhere inside where there is space," as if we were a nuisance. The service was not only uncaring, but downright rude. It felt as if we were not guests, but an imposition. I will not recommend this restaurant under any circumstances and will definitely not be returning. There are plenty of other cafes that know how to treat customers respectfully.

Disappointing – unfortunately, the same experience every time We visit the TegernseeHaus regularly, primarily because of its beautiful location – but the service is getting more frustrating each time. The staff is consistently bad-tempered, unfriendly, and seems overwhelmed. As a guest, you quickly get the feeling that you're more of a nuisance than a welcome. The processes are slow and seem chaotic – even simple orders take forever. Today, unfortunately, it became even more apparent: We ordered an Aperol Spritz, a beer, and a piece of cake. In the photos, you can see the generous slice of orange that was given to us – does that really justify the price of €8.90? And the cake I ordered... never arrived. No notice, no apology – it was simply forgotten. It's a real shame that things aren't improving here. Especially in such a beautiful place, you expect at least a modicum of hospitality – but that's completely lacking here.

I stopped here after a hike. The soup and beer were delicious. The service was very friendly and attentive. All in all, much, much better than the crowded brewery.

The location and views are truly outstanding – a beautiful place to eat and relax. Unfortunately, the service was rude, which somewhat spoiled the overall impression. I understand that working in the catering industry can be stressful, but I still think that friendly service should be a given.

Super great location, very nice view, I've been going there for years whenever I'm in Tegernsee, I've always been completely satisfied. Friendly staff, delicious food, very pleasant atmosphere, recommended

Tried to have something to eat here. Staff did not greet us, most tables were reserved for guests who did not turn up. We were an inconvenience for them. They didn’t bother to take our order, so we left. View is great, but no service.

A beautiful place...a superb area...the staff score 10....👍👍👍👍

I wouldn't recommend it, just lives by the location…

Food was very tasty but an old lady (waitress) was so unfriendly. If you work in catering you should really smile a little more and not answer rudely. Everyone else is also very unfriendly

We waited 40 minutes. Tarte flambée was bad. Currywurst was good, the location was very cool.

Very nice staff, right on the lake, cozy

A visit to Seehaus Tegernsee is a real highlight - a place where you can unwind. The location right on the lake is simply fantastic: the panorama with a view of the water and the surrounding mountains is impressive at any time of day and creates a great atmosphere. Especially at sunset. The Seehaus is impressive in terms of cuisine: the cuisine is down-to-earth and creative. Particularly noteworthy is the good wine selection: from elegant white wines to characterful red wines, there is something to suit every taste - advice from the boss included. A real heart of the house is the Seehauswirt, who immediately creates a feel-good atmosphere with his warm, open manner. Together with the committed and attentive service team, your visit to the Seehaus becomes an all-round successful experience. You immediately notice that real hospitality is the focus here. Conclusion: Absolute recommendation!

No card payments in 2025. Unfriendly staff.

Food is okay for the price. But staff is very rude and unfriendly.

A restaurant with a full page of rules in the menu - plus very unfriendly service. There are much nicer places on Tegernsee to stay and spend money 🙂

If I can give no stars, I will. Worst cafe I've ever been to. Very rude staff. Poor customer service. If I can't give a star, I will. The worst cafe I've ever been to. Very rude staff. Poor customer service.

Conclusion: One of the best views of the lake, cake ok, service ok Pros: + Great view of Lake Tegernsee(!) + Good coffee + Clean toilets Neutral: +/- cake ok +/- Service corresponds to typical Bavarian charm Cons: - “Cash only” is outdated in a tourist resort in 2025

Tarte flambée with a view, unbeatable. Cake like Grandma's! Attention: Cash payment only! Very attentive service, little gem right on Lake Tegernsee.

Decent food, nice view and good prices

So the place is of course nice, there by the lake. But the cake was a bit tasteless and the staff wasn't overly motivated. It was uncomfortably cold in the restaurant. Doesn't have to be!

The location right on Lake Tegernsee is simply unbeatable – really brilliant! The tarte flambée and the waffle were super tasty and definitely impressed. The service was ok, but could be a bit friendlier to make the experience perfect.

Had an extremely delicious breakfast here with a view of the lake. Will definitely come back. On weekends the Seehaus is very busy - like almost all restaurants and cafés on Tegernsee. But it's easy to get a table in the morning or evening, otherwise patience helps 😉

A very nice place to relax right on the lake, on the terrace when the weather is nice and on the first floor when the weather is bad with a fantastic view of Lake Tegernsee and its surroundings. The tarte flambée is highly recommended. Price performance ratio for food and drinks is great for the location. My only negative comment: Guys, we are in Bavaria, they don't serve beer in 0.4 liters, sorry

Deceptive information about payments and very rude service. The food was ok for the price, not great. The location is nice so that is what you are paying for so that part is fine. The particularly bad part is that they advertise that they accept EC cards. And then when I ask the pay with one the servicer was incredibly rude and told me they only take cash.

We went there on a working day early afternoon, and the whole upper floor was completely empty. We decided to sit next to the french window, and since we wanted for everyone to have a nice view over the lake, we moved the table 15 cm to the right. When the waitress came to take our order, she didn't greet even greet us, but immediatelly demanded that we shift the table back to its place. It was a very uncomfortable situation, especially since my boyfriend's family was with us, and we just wanted to have a nice drink together. After we moved the table back at its original place (whole 15cm to the left) the waitress took our order. Now I would completely understand if we were disturbing other guests around us, but since we were the only ones in the room, I assumed that this arrangement would not hurt anyone, especially because we were gonna stay for half an hour, and of course, move the table back before we leave. This way we stayed 15 mins, and we will never come back there again. We would have actually left immediatelly after being treated like that, but we didn't want to bother our family.

Very good day ticket for a reasonable price. Despite the stress, the service was calm and very attentive. We were very satisfied.

Overcrowded staff not exactly friendly

Great food... Nice staff... Helps where possible... The view of the lake is simply a dream... We always like to come back...

The ambience deserves 6 stars! The food is wonderful and the service too. So even though the guests behave decently, unfortunately during our visit it became increasingly apparent that some were really rude. Dear Seehaus team, you are great!

Friendly great view Good food normal prices

We eat here often, either inside or outside on the terrace. Of course the terrace is right on the main street, which is very noisy, but you have a nice view of the lake. The food is good, very good, the rice could be a little softer, too al dente for my taste 😅. The prices are, you have to say, appropriate for Tegernsee. The service is top 👌👌. The women's toilet has already been renovated, which is very nice and clean. The men's toilet has not been renovated yet, according to my husband it is very dirty and smelly. It has become our favorite place because the service is simply outstanding!

We celebrated our wedding here at the beginning of December. The staff and the owner were very friendly and attentive. The food was really delicious. The arrangements in advance were uncomplicated and everything was flexible until the end. We were very happy that we were able to celebrate here. Thanks :)

As the awarding of the stars shows, I am very satisfied with the restaurant overall.

Great location but that’s about it. Loveless food, prefabricated industrial goods. Kaspressknödel mainly contained old bread, you had to look for the cheese. Apple fritters tasted like rancid fat. It's also incredibly loud, which is definitely not a recommendation from us

A cafe/restaurant in a location with lots of international tourists that only accepts cash? I no longer understand that!

Great food, great location but unfortunately only cash payment.

The terrace is great but the staff is totally overwhelmed... but arrogant and dismissive...

“Rules” in a restaurant. Staff unfriendly and not trying hard. Prices high. No thanks despite the actually great location.

Great trick for a free visit: You order drinks of your choice, enjoy them and take out a deck of cards shortly before the end. The waitress immediately asks if you hadn't read the rules, and shortly afterwards the boss comes out of the kitchen angrily to clear away the drinks and throw you out.

Cheese spaetzle are great, as is the service

Good and cheap food with good beer.

A wonderful bistro with a wonderful view of Lake Tegernsee! The cappuccino was simply delicious – perfectly prepared with a great crema. The relaxed atmosphere and the fantastic view make a visit here a real highlight. Absolute recommendation!

Not recommended! Guests are NOT welcome here! We were there this afternoon at around 1 p.m., the staff is unfriendly and impolite (2 female and 1 male servers), the food (cheese spaetzle) is better than nothing, and the cola is quite good! Only cash payment possible, no changing table and no stroller parking space. Instead, spend your money elsewhere. We can only confirm the bad reviews from our own experience. It is best for the staff to cook for themselves and eat everything themselves or there is a management to educate them.

Not recommended at all. The service is terrible. We are there once time per year and nothing has changed for better. They treat you as an enemy. Only lake view is the reason that we are still coming there. You can pay only cash.

I had a quick stop there today. Since my non-alcoholic drink request didn't exist, they quickly put it together. A bottle of non-alcoholic beer, a glass and lemon fizz. My alcohol-free shandy was ready. Thank you, that was very kind.

Nice place, service but non-existent. We were assigned a table and then ignored for 15 minutes. A service worker was sitting at the laptop. The other one was apparently chatting with someone she knew outside. There weren't many gestures either. All in all, don't come if you're hungry.

I leave behind good memories on a rainy day. The food was good and they were friendly.

rude staff. scarmbled egg is served with a cheap toast from the supermarket , no other bread is possible. every request we had was answered with a rude attitude. shame that they switched owner , would never come again . for an egg with few veggies and two pieces of cheap white bread toast I paid 7.5 euro.

Unfriendly and arrogant...that's why only tourists come...a regular guest doesn't come there twice

Unfortunately the service did not meet our expectations. As soon as we entered the restaurant, the first employee didn't greet us and only pointed us to the free tables, which gave us the feeling that we had to look for a seat ourselves. When we then politely turned to the next member of staff with a question, we received a surprisingly sharp correction that we should have said 'Hello' first. Unfortunately, the service at the table was also not convincing, as the food was served without a word and we lacked friendly attention to the guests. Overall, the visit was disappointing and we would recommend the restaurant more for the beautiful view of Lake Tegernsee than for the service or the food, which unfortunately didn't match the price-performance ratio either

Top Lage - Top Service. Kleine aber feine Küche allerdings nur bis 19:30 Uhr. Danach nur noch Getränke. Wem zu spätes Essen Schwierigkeiten bereitet, ist hier genau richtig

Great location and 1A location, especially when the sun is shining ☀️. However, the conditions are completely incompetent and overwhelmed. They are annoyed, argue with other colleagues in front of the guests and the guest is not seen as king. Here you should switch to trained specialists. Additionally, I have to say that card payment is not possible. Not exceptionally but always. Completely unacceptable and we all know why people do that. Please see my review as a suggestion for improvement! Continued success.

The coffee was good but no card payment - welcome to 2024... The staff was mostly unfriendly and snooty.

Great location right on the lake and great views of the mountains. Food average and a bit overpriced, service okay but overwhelmed. No card payment possible.

Went to the lake briefly and had a coffee, waited almost 20 minutes, only when I asked, the coffee wasn't brought until after 10 minutes, although the terrace was very full and there were 3 diners, but almost half an hour for one I think it's a long time to wait for coffee, but right on Lake Tegernsee it made it good that you could enjoy the view

My experience inspired me to write a song. ### "Beautiful Shine, Bitter Bite" **Verse 1:** Eyes big, heart excited, A masterpiece, so beautifully cared for. The colors shine, the shine so pure, But bitter torment lurks inside. **Pre-Chorus:** A sweet dream that doesn't last, What he promises in this world. So deceptively beautiful, so full of cunning, Just one bite that eats the truth. **Chorus:** Beautiful glow, bitter bite, The deception lies in the sweet kiss. The eyes lie, the heart breaks, What seems beautiful is not. **Verse 2:** The scent seduces, the senses burn, But I don't want to know what I taste. A deep fall, so sudden, cold, A false game, so cruel, old. **Pre-Chorus:** A sweet dream that doesn't last, What he promises in this world. So deceptively beautiful, so full of cunning, Just one bite that eats the truth. **Chorus:** Beautiful glow, bitter bite, The deception lies in the sweet kiss. The eyes lie, the heart breaks, What seems beautiful is not. **Bridge:** The colors shimmer, the heart demands, But disappointment caught me. One last look, one last breath, But the taste is bitter and also... **Chorus:** Beautiful glow, bitter bite, The deception lies in the sweet kiss. The eyes lie, the heart breaks, What seems beautiful is not. **Outro:** Which seems nice... Which seems nice... What seems beautiful is not.

We were at the Seehaus last Wednesday, July 31st, 2024. Small but nice. Super nice service and the world's best non-alcoholic wheat beer (Hopf).

Unfriendly service. We stood at the bar table. We found out that it wasn't intended as a guest table after more than 10 minutes when we waved for a waitress... and after a waitress had already left empty glasses with us but hadn't pointed it out to us. There was definitely no way to tell that this wasn't a guest table...

I recommend cappuccino 🔥 The Flammkuchen was also delicious🌻

5 stars in all categories! Simply great.

I asked him to open the umbrella, since it was impossible to sit in the middle, and the sun was blazing outside. To which the waitress replied that the sun was shining a little and laughed. And after a few minutes, she opened the umbrella to other visitors at their request.

I would be happy to change my rating as soon as card payment is possible. A no go these days...

The view is great. The dude who brings the drinks doesn't have any interest in his life and that's how he works. Stable, keep it up

Beautiful view. It was the first time here but also the last time. 10.90€ for a sausage platter with maybe 10 small slices of baguette for 2 people. I find the baguette expensive. 5.90€ for a normal ham cheese sandwich. And the wasps literally eat you up. Unfortunately the breakfast wasn't worth the money for me.

A pretty little restaurant in a prime location right on the lake promenade. Fantastic and very friendly service and super delicious food and drinks. Both thumps up.

The service is a disaster! How can you be so unkind for no reason? Location is great and the food is pretty good too.

Beautiful view. A little hidden behind the town hall. Excellent food and charming service. You don't have to wait in line to study a confusing menu and then juggle your order to your seat. No, Bavarian coziness still applies here in a modern ambience. I will gladly come again.

Good roast pork with crispy skin

Delicious! Were there spontaneously. Great view!

Precioso y espectacular restaurante en el corazón de los Alpes. La comida y la presentación excelente. Antonio, el cocinero, es un magnífico profesional, elabora y presenta los platos con mucho cariño, se nota que ama su trabajo. Su hamburguesa es la más rica del mundo. Sin duda volveremos muchas más veces. Ainhoa y Daniel.

We recommend! Whether it's scrambled eggs, white sausage breakfast or other meals, everything is very tasty. It's even worth stopping for a coffee/cappuccino. The staff and service are super friendly and committed. Nowhere else is it as nice to sit on/on Lake Tegernsee as on this terrace. That's why we were there three times :) Have fun:)

Drinks very expensive, a Talk to them, only large drinks are sold, it doesn't matter if you earn more. Apple spritzer and a cola over 8 euros No thanks

Everyone who goes to Tegernsee should sit, drink and eat here, if they can find a place :) A delicious dessert, a cold beer with a view. Despite the busyness, fast service and friendly people are added, and I can't help but recommend it. I hope to come again.

Great unique location by the lake on the jetty with a terrace. Colorful card with extremely colorful prices. Hey, stop by the lake in Tegernsee.

Good location right on the lake, good cuisine, friendly service, beautiful view of the lake,

Whenever we are at Tegernsee, we have to stop there.
