Seehaus Pforzheim - Landgasthof, Biergarten & Café - Andreas Jöchle in Pforzheim

We visited the Seehaus twice in the last few days. Once on an e-bike tour in the self-service outdoor restaurant, and once inside with family. Both times were wonderful. The service was very friendly, and the food was beautifully presented and delicious.

As we often do, we concluded our husky hike in Hagenschiess with a get-together in the beer garden. Everyone, both humans and dogs in our family, was happy there. Today we opted for lunch: Maultaschen (ravioli) with onion juice and potato/carrot/coleslaw. The best Maultaschen we've ever eaten! The rest was also good, and at a very reasonable price. Add to that the friendly staff—nothing to complain about! And today, they can't do anything about the rain!

Dog 🐕 friendly and delicious food.

Very nice here, and very tasty food, very friendly service

Very tasty with the opportunity to take great walks in the forest!

Went to the beer garden. The food was terrible! The kitchen staff were fooling around and throwing salt at each other! We definitely won't be coming back!

Delicious food and super friendly staff.

Good beer garden. Portion sizes vary, but are served based on taste.

A real day trip highlight: The Seehaus is close to Pforzheim yet surrounded by nature – right on a small lake, with plenty of space to sit and relax. It's ideal for hikers, cyclists, and families with children thanks to a playground and spacious bicycle parking. The food is deliberately simple to accommodate a large number of guests quickly. Don't expect culinary refinement, but you'll find classic beer garden fare like fries, sausage, salad plates, potato salad, tarte flambée... and a changing daily special – solid, tasty, and something for everyone. We found the Maultaschen (swabian pasta) to be exceptionally good ;) It's great that places like this still exist: uncomplicated, friendly, self-service without stress – perfect for a relaxing break in the countryside.

We visited this location during a hike. They offer both a restaurant and a snack bar. We opted for the latter. The food was delicious, and the service was just what you'd expect from a good snack bar. Located in a green area, with a large children's playground... but also well-connected with plenty of parking. I would definitely go there again!

Very nice beer garden, food was delicious, staff is friendly

With such an unfriendly waiter, both on the phone and in person, you don't really want to be a guest.

I haven't eaten there yet because I have celiac disease and am lactose intolerant, but the food looked really good.

Food very good and staff also very nice

The food was nicely presented but unfortunately not very well prepared. The pan-fried gyro had probably been seared and then reheated briefly, meaning it was dry. The fries could have been thicker so they wouldn't get bony so quickly. The potato wedges with herb dip were good. The beer garden is beautifully situated with great, large, shady trees. Whether we'll come back is questionable. But we'll definitely stop by for a drink.

A great spot in Pforzheim. Lovely, cozy atmosphere, good food both in the restaurant and in the beer garden, and very friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Great location, friendly staff...gladly again

I think they close too early in the evening

Quiet and nice place. Food is nice, the beer is fine.

We were in the self-service area of the beer garden. The classic water was barely carbonated, our tarte flambée took 25 minutes to cook and was still raw inside. The service was quite unfriendly. We won't be back.

In the summer, the beer garden is a great place to sit, right by the lake. The restaurant, on the other hand, is much more expensive.

Nice location, but expensive and not very large portions. It was nice to sit there, but I don't need to go there often.

Yesterday, I was in the beer garden with seven people, which is completely self-service. I ordered the sausage salad with a roll. It wasn't entirely clear whether you had to wait for your food at the counter or get a pager, as the staff member in charge didn't communicate. I decided to wait and finally received my order. The colleague at the drinks counter was friendly and competent. The cashier was the usual moderately friendly. We sat right next to the beautiful lake, which is the highlight. The portion size was very small, so we weren't sufficiently full. It was also noticeable that the preparation of the food with the pager took a relatively long time. The ambiance was great, but the food was rather below average.

I can only speak highly of the beer garden. It's self-service. The Maultaschen (swabian pasta) special was very good and plentiful. Beautifully located, we'd love to come back.

Employees (m/f/d) have some communication difficulties when it comes to German. It's not a big deal. However, you should be patient if you're not understood the first or third time. Example: you order a wheat beer, but you get a Coke 🙃

We were in the beer garden today in glorious sunshine, and the ambiance will definitely make us want to return. Unfortunately, we were disappointed with both the service and the quality of the food. Despite the lack of customers, or perhaps because of that, it took forever at the bar to even acknowledge us and serve us. The food simply wasn't good value for money... spaghetti was overcooked, the white sausages had some dry spots, and overall, for the price, everything was a bit too much like a snack bar and not enough of a traditional beer garden. It's a shame... because we've always been very satisfied with the restaurant.

We were very happy with the food and the service.

Very good food and a higher price range. The beef carpaccio on the appetizer menu is particularly recommended. The prices are reasonable for the first-class quality. The staff is also very friendly and extremely attentive. However, the price for an espresso is quite high at €3.40.

I was at the Seehaus for the first time yesterday, and I have to say, for the price, I expected better quality. My wife and I had roast beef with spaetzle. The roast beef wasn't that special, and there wasn't enough sauce. The spaetzle weren't the best either. We've been to restaurants where the food was better, and they checked more often to see if you had enough to drink.

Always happy to go to the Seehaus beer garden. In my opinion, it's the nicest in Pforzheim. Unfortunately, the staff serving food are unmotivated and unfriendly. They'd rather fiddle with their phones than take a customer's order. And this has been the case for quite some time. Unfortunately.

Today at lunchtime we were in the beer garden, the two guys in the kitchen were super nice and helpful, the food was excellent

Nice but so small, 300m walking place only. Doesn't deserve to travel to. Maybe if you are near to it you can stay for 1 hour bedside the lake. The view is nice but still smaller than expected.

We were just there for a coffee. Nice atmosphere.

High-quality prepared dishes (lamb shank with ratatouille and potato gratin, beef fillet tips with cream mushrooms and spaetzle and salad, children's schnitzel with fries and ketchup mayonnaise), child-friendly service, great service staff, reasonable price-performance ratio. Lovely again:)

Whether in the restaurant or the beer garden, the food is simply excellent. The staff in the beer garden, in particular, are very attentive; they recognize you and know how you like your roast beef. The staff in the restaurant are very friendly and equally attentive. Highly recommended.

This evening we were in the beer garden. I had ordered a rump steak. I would not have expected that such top quality would be available in a beer garden. It was perfectly cooked, medium rare, top job by the chef. Best rump steak I have ever eaten, thank you very much for that😊

Can't rate the service, as it's self-service! Staff very friendly and helpful!

Nice beer garden, food should be warmer.

Great country inn, the daily special of spaghetti with chanterelles and herb salad was very good 👍

Today at lunchtime we were with a group in the beer garden, we went to order food, the two friendly young men served us very nicely, very nice staff, we had two rump steaks which were amazing, perfectly medium as ordered, as well as the other food that my colleagues had which was very tasty and nicely presented

I was pleasantly surprised: The dish of the day – Allgäu onion roast – for €18.90 was of a quality you wouldn't necessarily expect for this price. The "medium" degree of doneness was perfect – a substantial, approximately 3 cm thick piece, presumably rump steak, excellently prepared. A nice detail up front: Fresh bread with herb quark and crisp radishes was served in one piece – not a given and very appealing. The side salad was also significantly higher quality than usual: various fresh salads, already carefully dressed with a harmonious dressing and garnished with crispy croutons. The food arrived quickly – which isn't so important to me personally, but is definitely a plus, especially at lunchtime when I'm heading back to the office. The service was consistently friendly, attentive, and professional – unobtrusive, but present. Conclusion: A consistently harmonious experience at a high culinary level – definitely more than "just" lunch. I'd be happy to come back.

You can sit outside comfortably, there are enough parasols.

Rating refers to the beer garden: No matter when we come and at what time, the potato salad offered at the tables has unfortunately run out. Guys, then wipe the offer off the board, it can't be that difficult.

The ambience was a bit dusty, the food was okay, and the beer garden is recommended.

Unfortunately, I was disappointed with the food in the beer garden today. I ordered a large salad for €10.90. I got an XXL lettuce leaf, a potato salad from a bucket, and a coleslaw from a bucket. The dollop of radish salad and the carrot salad, on the other hand, were delicious. I can't say whether the dressing, which came from a bottle, was homemade, but I've had better tasting ones. The atmosphere, as always, was nice to cycle there; the service staff weren't particularly friendly, but it was okay. Of course, I can make a salad just as well at home, but in my opinion, a salad isn't rocket science for a restaurateur. It's a shame the salad is so expensive for what it is.

Great food, very tasty. The staff was super friendly and quick. There were 45 of us here. The location was fantastic.

Beautiful terrace and very good food

Since I only visited the beer garden, I can't comment on the service. The view of the lake is really beautiful, and you can sit comfortably, with a beer garden feel. There was no alternative milk for the coffee, and when I asked, I was looked at a bit like I was from another planet. The cake was delicious, and the dog was allowed to join in, too.

Not for dog owners! No opportunity to take your four-legged friends to the water. The lake is very small, nicely designed, but you can't walk all the way around it. The self-service restaurant was okay. Surely no one would have minded if there had been a small dog area without having to walk across the "bathing lawn." What a shame...

Elegant restaurant with a large terrace and beer garden. Very good food. Whether you should charge €7 for a bottle of local mineral water, however, remains questionable.

Value for money OK Beer garden OK, self-service

I like the Seehaus, very nice location, price-performance ratio is ok... was better in my opinion before

Nice restaurant and good, nice, friendly staff, although I've been served differently there before, which has disappointed me. But I like eating there and always reserve a table because otherwise there might not be one available. The prices are in line with the quality.

A great place on the summer terrace to drink beer and eat potatoes and sausage. We stop there all the time when we ride our bikes. Beer costs 4-5 euros. A portion of potatoes and sausage costs 9 euros. Very calm and atmospheric. There is also a restaurant, it is also highly praised. There is a playground for little ones.

"Das Seehaus Pforzheim", is a very nice restaurant located by a lake with beautiful hiking trails in the surrounding area. The dining rooms and beer garden are comfortably furnished and very clean. The food is excellent and of very good quality. A bit more expensive, but appropriate for the quality and freshness of the food. The service is competent, friendly, and attentive. Every request was me! This location is highly recommended. 👍

The restaurant has excellent food and excellent service. Great atmosphere. Everything is delicious. The aroma can be smelled from afar. Great service for parties. Cozy beer garden with friendly service. The food is usually good, too. Unfortunately, the fries are sometimes cold and sometimes the portions are too small for the price.

Great beer garden, delicious food. Prices are reasonable. We love coming here!

Generally, it's recommended. It's a bit on the higher end of the price range, but the most important thing is whether it tastes good or not... It tastes good.

The beer garden is fantastic. You absolutely have to take a break here on a bike ride. 👍🏻

Unfortunately, the food wasn't to our taste. The dumplings were completely raw, hard, and over-seasoned. The red cabbage was extremely sour. The roast veal was very tender, which was the only good thing. The venison stew, on the other hand, was practically inedible. It was a stringy cut and dry. The sauce, unfortunately, had an unpleasant flavor. We didn't think the price/performance ratio was good. This was our second time at this restaurant, and unfortunately, it wasn't good the second time. The last time, with schnitzel and spaetzle, was better, but again, the price/performance ratio wasn't good. Service was excellent. Everything was clean and very well-maintained. For a restaurant in this price range, however, I expect a different kind of cuisine. Yes, I'd be happy to sit in the beer garden—nothing else. For customizing the dishes, you would have had to pay an extra fee (a side salad instead of red cabbage).

Top-notch service, and all the dishes were very good. The veal schnitzel was amazing.

A very good restaurant, good food and nice staff

Super delicious food, great ambiance, and excellent service! Perfect all around.

We love this place. We have been twice now. Nice atmosphere, and great food. Both times we were lucky and showed up with no reservations and were seated right away.

Nice, atmospheric place to enjoy a quick bite.

The beer garden is a wonderful place to linger.

An elegant country house with fine cuisine. The service was very entertaining. Overall, a very good impression!

Food top and good look with small lake

Very friendly service and a lovely beer garden

I highly recommend it. Great restaurant with excellent food and service.

The food in the restaurant was super delicious and, above all, prepared very quickly

Beautiful, quiet location. You always get good portions for your money. Friendly and attentive service!

The food is very good no matter what you choose (I'm talking about the outdoor area). I can't say anything about the service, as it's just waitress service. The ambiance only gets three stars, as it's often extremely crowded, and it's hard to find a place to sit or park. But the food is really great. To drink, you can get anything from a small beer to a full liter of beer :)

Essen und Service ist exzellent! Und das Preis Leistungs Verhältnis ist sehr gut Immer wieder gerne 👍🏻 vielen Dank für die schönen Stunden

Great beer garden. Friendly service. Good value for money.

Very nice beer garden in the Seehaus, there were 10 of us for dinner and the chef in the kitchen was a compliment. We had three rump steaks, both very well seared, all three perfectly medium. I can recommend the beer garden in the Seehaus, keep it up!!!!

Well, it's a lakeside restaurant, but the food is carelessly piled onto small plates and isn't particularly special considering the prices are already quite high. The service, especially from the chef, was abysmal. When I asked if two tarte flambées could be made earlier, he coldly replied, "No, I'll do everything at the same time." It's unnecessary; it would have been ridiculous for just the four guests and me.

If you don't want to go to the great beer garden, you'll be well served in the restaurant.

Were in the beer garden. Really great on nice days right next to the lake. However, food and drinks are relatively expensive considering that it is self-service and what is served does not look impressive.

Busy on public holidays, but nice to stop by for a beer and food. However, the food was too expensive, e.g. currywurst and fries €8.90 (18 DM)!!!

We had a salad and the asparagus from the weekly menu. Both tasted very tasty. We would come back any time

Unusually little going on on a rather gray Saturday in April. So pretty quiet. Beer garden empty.

This was a grateful place to stop for a break on our May hike. Lots of seats, well attended.

Beautifully located beer garden. But if they forget to give you deposit tokens, the goodwill when returning the glasses is zero.

Unfortunately, another failure. The kitchen deadline is taken very seriously here. The kitchen closes at 8:30 p.m. Unfortunately I was only there a few minutes beforehand. You'll get very pissed off for this. It's a shame, actually a very nice location The service at the checkout and with the beer is legendary and very nice. Unfortunately, otherwise no longer recommended

very nice surroundings. Food is good .

Everything is there for young and old in nature!

Everything here is top notch, from the food to the service!

Super friendly service, highly recommended

Good home-style & excellent authentic Baden cuisine in a wonderful setting right on the lake and surrounded by the forest. Also a great atmosphere. Something different and a ray of hope in the otherwise monotonous gastronomic landscape of Pforzheim.

Unfortunately, the price-performance ratio remained well below our expectations. The price is not appropriate for five asparagus that were still too firm and not well peeled and three potatoes. The breaded veal schnitzel was good, but the other side dishes that were available were clearly too expensive. The prices were acceptable at the same level of quality as before. We probably won't come back like this again.

Very nice restaurant located by the lake with beautiful hiking trails in the area. The guest rooms and the beer garden are very comfortably furnished and very clean. The food is excellent and of very good quality. A little more expensive, but appropriate for the quality of food and freshness. The service is competent, friendly and attentive. Every wish was fulfilled. Unfortunately, I deducted two points because the head waiter was very rude and loud with his waitresses in front of the guests. This is unacceptable and no longer appropriate given today's staff shortage in the catering industry. It is always possible to speak to your staff in a respectful tone. Otherwise, this restaurant is highly recommended ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Very nice beer garden Potato salad was homemade but still had a bit of room for improvement in terms of taste. Maultaschen are also homemade and taste very tasty 😋

We had lunch at the Seehaus Restaurant with a hiking group of 25 people. Kitchen and service were top. We ate a la carte and everyone in the group received their food at the same time. I had an asparagus cream soup and the venison ragout with dumplings and red cabbage. Both tasted very good and the portions were a reasonable size. Everyone in the group was very satisfied with our stop at the Seehaus. Great modern German cuisine in a beautiful location. A more than recommended hiking and excursion destination in a beautiful location in the green outskirts of Pforzheim.

We reserved 2 seats and got a great spot in the pavilion by the window with a view of the lake. There is enough staff in the restaurant who were very attentive, friendly and accommodating. The food was very good, there is currently an asparagus menu. We'll be back.

Relaxed and silent self-service beer garden next to a small lake. The self brewed beer and dishes are nice. Order the juicy rump steak medium rare to get medium.

The ambience is top. The outdoor area is also modern and spacious. The food is more than top. More than 12 out of 10 stars. Thank you very much.

Lovely eaten here for the third time. And it was an absolute pleasure yesterday too.

The Seehaus Pforzheim scores with a great location and a beautiful ambience right on the lake. The atmosphere is calm and relaxing, ideal for a special occasion or a leisurely meal. The food tastes good and is of high quality, but the high prices do not justify this. Overall a nice restaurant with good cuisine, but the price-performance ratio could be better.

Great restaurant with a lovely beer garden. The food was very good except for the potato salad, which was too cold for me. But otherwise everything was great. Highly recommended. I'd definitely go back.
