Stadtwaldhaus in Krefeld

Plenty of simple seating. Bratwurst and fries were all they offered, but that's perfectly fine. A trip to this wonderful park is always worthwhile.

I am a guest here once a year and I enjoy coming back every year.

We occasionally, but happily, go to what is supposedly Germany's most beautiful beer garden. The food isn't top-notch, but it's delicious. The service is excellent; everyone is young, fit, and very friendly.

Perfect family brunch! Gladly again 😃

Great beer garden in beautiful surroundings. Fantastic. Drink prices are rather high. Unfortunately, it was billed incorrectly several times at the self-service checkout and overpaid. Be careful here!

Beautiful here. Good service. Food is okay

Yes, I can do that because it is very beautiful there

Beautiful May 1st with live music.

We always enjoy being in the city forest. Today we used the service area for the first time. The food is indescribably good. We had a table for four and were then asked if it was okay while we were eating and if someone could be seated with us. We said yes out of friendliness, but we found it very rude that they then sat four people with us at the small table while we were still eating steak, and then the very people who were seated with us were annoyed by the smoking! A little tip: maybe offer more tables! In other restaurants you don't just sit people at your own table.

Beautiful beer garden right in the even more beautiful city forest. You can sit in the service area or get drinks yourself. On nice, sunny days it gets pretty full, but we still found a spot straight away. There are enough parking spaces, but you may have to walk 5 minutes. In addition to drinks, we also got fries and a currywurst. The fries were very salty and the ratio of currywurst to sauce wasn't quite right, but it was still tasty.

We went for a walk and had a snack here. The schnitzel was good, but not extraordinary, as was the (reasonable) price! The waiter was a student and brought the food quickly, but I took no cutlery from the neighboring table. He apologized and was courteous and friendly! We sat on the terrace, it's very nice there in the sun or in the shade - there is a small playground nearby, within sight/call distance, so that you can see the children and you can eat your drink/food in peace.

When the weather is fantastic, the "old Krefelder Stoffadel" horse racing track is not far away, with tennis courts next door. Lake for paddling and pedal boating with a large lawn for sunbathing. Perfect by bike, but a test of patience by car in this weather. Great friendly service and the food arrived quite quickly. Beautiful beer garden 💪🏻❗

The most beautiful beer garden in Krefeld, an institution. Service and self-service area. Prices rather high. I can highly recommend the fresh pretzels from the baking machine.

Easter brunch with the family. More than recommended. Always happy again.

An amazing place to get fresh air, relax, watch the lake and take a short boat trip

Very nice place especially the beer garden, the currywurst tasted good but was unfortunately cold.

Location is nice... fries dripping with fat and bratwurst undercooked with half a slice of bread and both for a lot of money (brazen) Beer was okay

Maybe it needs a little cleaning

A walk and a coffee... Maybe with cake? Here it goes...

Whether in the self-service area or with service, it's always nice to sit here! The berry cake was absolutely delicious! With nut/chocolate base, delicious cream, lots of raspberries and not too sweet.

Beautiful view of the park and friendly staff.

Great beer garden with service area and self-service section - very good food - service always friendly and quick

On the first day of opening (March 2025), only the beer garden was open. The snack bar offered only a limited selection. Currywurst and fries (just over €9) were probably the classic among the other guests. Drinks were available indoors. The restrooms were also indoors. On weekday lunches in good weather, there was relatively little activity (10-15 guests). The parking lot directly in front of the building was still full.

In the summer I only know the beer garden, which is probably the largest in the area that I know! Beer and pretzels are good and tasty and very well attended when the weather is nice! Big construction site at the moment, hopefully everything will be in place by beer garden time! The music stage has been beautifully restored, new roof and repainted!

Most beautiful beer garden in the Krefeld region. Respect from the operator who has to organize this very large beer garden well depending on the weather. There is a service area with a small, good menu and a self-service area with typical beer garden snacks, such as pretzels and white sausages

Unfortunately very disappointing! We had made a reservation for brunch on Boxing Day. You could see the menu online in advance, which sounded very good. But that was it. When we got there we were assigned a table on the edge outside the large hall, which was a good thing because there was a noise like in the train station. No wonder with around 300 people. The meal was precisely timed, starting at 10 a.m. with breakfast, 12 p.m. lunch, 1 p.m. dessert. Those who were at the buffet at 12 sharp were lucky. There was roast goose and venison ragout, unfortunately only leftovers for those of us later, sparsely distributed by young people, and by 12.45 the meat was completely gone. A number of things that were on the menu were completely missing. Then it was laid out for dessert, everything on the tablecloths that were completely stained from breakfast. I highly doubt that any of the desserts were homemade, they were all ready-made products, not even good ones. All in all, it was more of a mass production with long queues at the buffet, carelessly set up without decorations, the table behind us was able to “look forward” to a dried-up poinsettia as a table decoration. Coffee was at the table when it arrived, lukewarm and quite thin. The price of 43.50 was not justified at all and for the first and last time there.

For Christmas brunch, the breakfast was good, unfortunately again simple baked rolls, the service was friendly, there was again a puppet theater for the little guests and the little guests could paint on the stage. But unfortunately lunch wasn't that special. This year at least the dumplings were good and also the tortellini. The deer ragout was nowhere to be found, perhaps the deer is still running happily through the forest. The goose legs weren't a hit either, nor was the roast. The desserts were better last year and weren't served on the breakfast buffet, which was still partly there, didn't look so good and were pretty rare. The ice cream was good, but unfortunately again without cream. If you print a menu, the food should also be available. Unfortunately disappointed and we were 26 people.

We were there for a crime dinner, the choice of food was very limited for the vegan/vegetarian people in our group, even though we communicated this directly when booking. When they asked to leave out the meat, they just said it wasn't possible - the plates were already ready. Unfortunately it was very inflexible and there was no vegan dessert available. The food that came was delicious but the vegan main course was unfortunately very spicy. It was a mixed evening, the entrance was not signposted, dried flowers on the table, very loud so it was hard to hear the person right next to you, drafts and dirty toilets. Yes, it is currently under renovation but based on this experience I will not visit it again no matter what the occasion.

I recommend it, nice atmosphere, good access

Company Christmas party, very bad acoustics in the hall, staff tough with very specific announcements.

Excellent goose, good service, nothing to complain about

The food was okay, but the sauces were reminiscent of packet sauces. The whole thing was done very carelessly. The service was variable, a young man and the young women were very nice, but the older waiter was quite unfriendly. We sat at an event in the larger hall, which was rather uncomfortable and had little to no heating and was therefore very cold, which is an imposition if you have to sit there for over three hours. It may not be a beer garden outside in the summer, but I didn't like it inside.

We were at the crime dinner on November 10, 2024. The service was great, the employees were very helpful since we had a person in a wheelchair with us. The food was of poor quality. Unfortunately, the crime dinner didn't get any better from the actors. Far too long-winded, so that some guests were about to fall asleep. Not recommended.

We were able to celebrate our wedding here. Top ambience, top service and the food a 10 out of 10. Mr. Lang gave us very good advice in advance and accompanied us through many processes. On the wedding day itself we were extremely well looked after by the service headed by Ms. Hoffmann. The wedding was much better than we had previously imagined. As a bride and groom, we really felt like kings and queens. I have rarely encountered such excellent service and an almost friendly closeness to those responsible. The kitchen has delivered one masterpiece after another and we are still hearing great things from friends and family more than a week later. Stadtwaldhaus you are unique, stay that way and stay with us, we always enjoy coming to this house knowing that we won't miss anything. I recommend that every wedding couple have a personal conversation here, as we were also very positively surprised in terms of price.

Delicious pretzel. Currywurst was so-so

Normal beer garden atmosphere. Service was ok

Belgian waffle? Not self-made. 38 cents ready for purchase Not recommended for 8 euros

Good location, had a great party, service was very good.

As the stars reveal, White sausages almost cold, grillage cake not good, way too sweet and I doubt whether the cream is actually real cream. Toilets are really an imposition. BUT the young people who clear tables, sell food etc. are very accommodating.

Great atmosphere, very friendly service

The location is beautiful, the service is great, the menu is boring. In a beer garden I expect a corresponding menu with, for example, snack plates, cheese and other little things. Who wants a mediocre currywurst for around €10.80? The toilets are an imposition.

Käsespätzle was actually Schupfnudeln. But completely salty. Too bad

Food is okay, service good, location a highlight of the city.

The beer garden is always nice.

A nice place to take a drink and eat some snacks after activities in the park. The service people are friendly and high efficiency! Drinks are on the table in several minutes after ordering. The foods are also good👍

Super nice location, friendly staff, good food, highly recommended 😋

Went to my buddy's wedding yesterday. .I was very impressed...atmosphere, ambience, service, location, everything was great Special thanks to FRANZI...service employee of the extra class

Beautifully located large beer garden with a self-service area and one with service and menu. In the beer garden you can find beer, soft drinks, small snacks and popsicles. There is a small playground for the little ones, but the newly built playground in the city forest is not far away and has become very nice. You can also go boating in summer. The park is a beautiful English landscape park and is great for a stroll in hot weather. The beer garden with city forest is highly recommended for a short excursion!

Great beer garden with a large park.. I can only recommend.. 👍

The best beer garden in the area, good quick service. Everything was great as always!!!

It's a shame that this brilliant evening event with the top DJ's didn't take place more often 😭

A beer garden in the forest and a great building as a restaurant. The beer garden consists of self-service operations and an area where service is provided. A great concept for every budget or depending on your thirst and appetite. In my opinion one of the most beautiful beer gardens in North Rhine-Westphalia, if not Germany. I found it really great. Highly recommended.

First visit and very disappointing. Staff gets drunk and ignores guests who want to order something. There were 4 of us there and we tapped the waiters on the shoulder and were ignored. Worst visit ever, we won't be back.

It's really nice there. Great food, very friendly staff. Overall nice stay

5 stars for the ambience goes without saying. Very friendly service. Plum cake and grilled ash are rather mediocre.

Sitting in the park, having a drink when the weather is nice and listening to good live music, it couldn't be better. I didn't try any food, but the drinks served worked well👍

Cool atmoshpere and good food. Amazing greenery around!

Hello everyone 👋. The location of the beer garden is great 👌👍. Very nice service, ok atmosphere 👍. However, when it comes to dessert, I am disappointed 😏. Coffee tasteless, dessert mediocre in relation to the price ☹️. The park itself is great 👍👏, worth visiting. Greetings to everyone and I recommend it.

Very nice atmosphere and big „Biergarten“ - beer garden - with nice choice of food and drinks. All the food was good and prices seemed more or less reasonable! Staff was also friendly!

We were with you yesterday. Thank you for a lovely evening with great live music. I was really impressed with how well everything was organized. Also, big compliments to the entire team. Service was great. Only to recommend.

Great beer garden, sometimes even with live music.

Nice place with very nice, courteous staff. However, already in the upper price range.

Few waiters. Everything else is fine.

Everything was great, service, cake, location. Fits!!!!

Service was super quick and friendly. And it was delicious too

Rustic ambience a mix of tradition and modernity, if you don't like a beer garden, you certainly have the opportunity to buy a cold drink there and make yourself comfortable by the lake in the city park....

Everything fine. Nice large beer garden with a beautiful park and lake.

Absolutely idyllic location, view of the lake and pavilion, children's playground, a great atmosphere inside, super nice and very attentive service and very tasty food. We were here for a small wedding celebration. Uncomplicated for special requests and arrangements. Highly Recommended!

Best beer garden! Great service and great food! I like to come here often :)

We celebrated our civil wedding here. Very pleasant from planning to event! Everything was as discussed for us, the service employees were all very attentive, customer-oriented and implemented even short-term changes immediately. Great service, great food - thank you! Compliments to Ms. Hoffmann, who supervised our event with her team - that's how gastronomy is fun!

THE classic beer garden in Krefeld and the surrounding area!

Indeed one of the most beautiful beer gardens in Germany! Everything is just right here!

As always. Great service. Delicious food. Beautiful in nature

Very nicely located, right on the lake.

Nice location with occasional live music. You can sit outside with a view of a small lake. Great for relaxing after work.

Quick, simple food that's completely sufficient for when you're hungry, and the prices are affordable for everyone.

For a great day with children, pedal boating, etc.

It's worth a visit here. Good prices, great offerings and the ambience are highly recommended. Any time.

One of the most beautiful beer gardens in Germany.

Simply a beautiful beer garden. Food is good and prices OK.

Totally overcrowded A bit high for Germany's most beautiful beer garden

The service was simply great. Very friendly, attentive young people. They do a good job and what they have to carry and walk is really great.

We had our graduation party here and sat outside when a waiter came? Manager? In any case, an employee came and shouted at us that "the evening is over for us and we have no business being outside". The other employees at the buffet and bar were absolutely nice, only this one gentleman completely ruined our evening. This could definitely have been solved without a conflict by simply pointing out the error in a nice way, instead of immediately becoming aggressive and yelling at us. In my opinion, this approach and attitude is not possible at all, especially because you have paid a lot to celebrate here and a high school graduation celebration only takes place once in a lifetime. Since we never really got an apology, I can only recommend other high school graduates to celebrate somewhere else.

Always good and tried and tested, nice place to stay.

A beautiful beer garden with simple and delicious gastronomy. Price/performance ratio and friendly service.

Delicious, nice service. Vegetarian and vegan options available.

Very nice beer garden with delicious food at decent prices. Everyone can find something on the menu and yet it's so compact that everything is fresh. The service in the serving area sometimes takes a moment, but everything comes to the table quickly.

By far the most beautiful location in Krefeld when the weather is nice

We celebrated a graduation party in the Stadtwaldhaus. The staff was very friendly and the food was satisfactory. Over time it became very warm with 300-400 people, so some visitors and guests decided to change their long trousers into shorts. The owner (Mr. Lang) then decided to reprimand everyone in the room who, in his opinion, “were not dressed appropriately for the occasion”. Not only was that in itself a bottomless impudence in my opinion, but there was also the tone in which the gentleman spoke to us. When I answered for my partner, “yes, we can,” he just looked at me and said, “I’m talking to you.” not". Not only is this an impossible colloquialism, but it is also incredibly hard to deal with at an actually happy celebration. The affected people (all male) were not allowed to change inside and were instead asked to do so in the toilets outside. I wouldn't recommend any school to go here, although the service and ceremonies are great, there is hardly any possibility of finding a reasonable solution to problems such as moved files. After some time and discussion, 3 people who were mistakenly not on the list were allowed in, but with the words "no one will come in here after that, I don't care whether you get the original list or not".

Unbeatably comfortable in summer, even for families with small children who can run around freely

A nice bike ride and at the end a beer in the most beautiful beer garden in Germany🥰

Wonderful Place in the middle of a wood. In front there's a really beautiful lake with boats renting. Really good dishes, a lot of tables, quick service, nice attendants and really good typical dishes

There isn't a nicer beer garden anywhere. Sitting in the evening in the setting sun, drinking a beer and eating a delicious bite to eat cannot be beat in Krefeld. We were there with the children now. They were able to spend time on the playground and we had a nice meal and a drink with our friends. Thank you for the wonderful summer evening. Thank you Mr. L. for not being discouraged.

Great atmosphere and very nice house with a beautiful location! :) Friendly service!

Lovely beer garden. We were lucky with the weather, so the atmosphere was absolutely amazing. The food was of a good standard for a beer garden. Service quick, to the point. Portions are very generous!!! Family friendly, dog friendly. Great way to spend afternoon!

The most beautiful beer garden in Krefeld!

One of the most beautiful beer gardens in Germany! Great surroundings and nice atmosphere

Haben heute an der Brezelbude Weißwurst gehabt. Die ersten waren braun angetrocknet. Widerwillig habe ich ein Paar neue bekommen. Bei diesen ließ sich die Pelle nicht abziehen. Der Geschmack war nicht vorhanden. Ungenießbar. Und dafür wollten die 6,50€ haben. Nie wieder.

The rustic beer garden in nature

It's simply impossible to imagine Krefeld without it. Contact point and end point of many, many bike tours. Thanks to the always friendly staff, "on behalf of Mr. L." on the way. The beer garden is great! The food and drinks were good.
