Strandhaus am Markkleeberger See in Markkleeberg

My partner and I visited the restaurant for a drink after a trip. We sat outside and asked the waitress if card payment was possible since we didn't have any cash with us. We were told that card payments were only possible from 30 euros. To get to this amount, we also ordered something to eat. The food was really good and the prices were completely reasonable. We loved it and definitely planned to come back. When I actually wanted to write a positive review today, we noticed in the other reviews that the owner responded to a review about a month ago that any amount can be paid by card and there is no longer a minimum amount. This means that the service person lied directly to our faces and intentionally deceived us. We understand that every business needs to make money, but to deliberately deceive guests in this way is unprofessional, dishonest and simply shameful. We feel betrayed and such behavior, especially in the catering industry, is absolutely unacceptable. Because of this experience, we decided to avoid the restaurant in the future - even if we were impressed by the food. Anyone who deliberately lies to their guests has lost our respect and trust.

We just stopped in for a coffee. The location is really great! Unfortunately, some of the staff were very unfriendly and gave us rather snippy answers to our questions. Too bad! In addition, card payment was not possible (which was told to us without any explanation and again snippily), even though it was written on the door that cashless payments were possible. This was already criticized in a review from another guest about a month ago, to which the restaurant replied that card payments were now possible for any amount - that doesn't seem to be the case.

Super cute location. The food is excellent.

The beach house is highly recommended, it was my first time because my girlfriend celebrated her wedding there and I was very excited. It's beautifully located on the water, just a few meters away you can take a boat trip across Lake Markleeberg and when you come back you can comfortably stop at the beach house.

In short, the food was tasty but could be more for the price. The plus point is clearly the location right on the lake, the restaurant itself seems fake and lacks coziness. To park you can use the public parking lot, which is very expensive. A big minus point for the waitress who said she had to first snatch the "adult menu" from my child with her artificial grin and then the glass in which the crayons were previously. Simply rude and pretentious. She can display such behavior in her private life, but not when dealing with children. Unfortunately, we had just arrived and were very hungry, so we decided to eat anyway. Afterwards she preferred to devote herself to a larger group and had a young colleague clear our table. We have never experienced anything like this and will definitely not be coming back!

Great location, right on the beach promenade with a view of the lake. Great hosts, you can tell the boss and her team enjoy their job - nice dance performance behind the counter 😎. Very ambitious steak menu, we urgently need to try it on our next visit. Well-made starters, I can recommend mussels. Very dog ​​friendly with a special menu for dogs. See you next time.

Very good food and friendly staff

We celebrated our wedding in the beach house on September 26th, 2024. The celebration was carried out excellently as agreed. The entire crew was extremely friendly and the food was made for the gods. We had a dream wedding in the truest sense. We keep coming back ❤

More appearance than reality. Quality is not ok for these overpriced prices. There were 6 of us and none of us were satisfied or enthusiastic. No recommendation. It's a shame, because the location is so great, for a great experience. Unfortunately very disappointing.

Very good service and the tomato soup was very tasty.

Very good service and nice location. Unfortunately, the prices for the food do not match the quality. Good average. Unfortunately no more.

The location on the promenade is quite nice. At the beginning we were also served nicely. Then I was informed that the starter I had ordered was unfortunately no longer available. When choosing the new dish - a wild herb salad with antipasti grilled vegetables and goat cheese - I asked that the antipasti grilled vegetables be omitted. Answer: Actually just as it says on the map. I have to ask if the kitchen is kind to me... Seriously? But the salad came and was good. Afterwards nothing came, including no service. It wasn't even possible to pay. That's why we went to the counter. The reaction of the waitress in question was simply rude and cheeky. Conclusion: The food was good. But the price level and the service don't match here. By the way, I paid the full price despite leaving out the grilled vegetables. And before they say we should check whether we were really in the beach house, the staff is always friendly... Yes, we were. And we were served by Andrea.

The staff was very nice, polite and flexible. Always happy. We'll be back

Today was a very hot day, I wanted to relax in an easy beach chair with a cold cocktail after the walk, and then have dinner. But unfortunately, only the waiter decides where I should sit. Moreover, all longshes were free.

Very tasty food and friendly service and simply a great view 🥰

We have rarely been served in such a friendly and good-humoured manner as by Frances Gebauer. Thank you very much. We'd love to come back.

We just came for drinks. Service didn't care so we left after half an hour

Without prior clarification, the comment from the previously very friendly service “Card payment only from €30”. There is no way in or out and when finding a solution there is still the advice: “If necessary, you have to round up.” We each had a drink…

We just quickly went in for 2 hefeweizen to quench our thirst. A very nice waitress (the bill says Ms. Frances Gebauer) fulfilled our wish. She also welcomed and served the other guests in a very friendly and open manner with a smile. Thank you very much and when the time comes, have a nice evening.

Unfortunately only card payments from 30€. It's just not possible these days, especially if you don't say it beforehand.

Very spontaneously received a wonderful table, super nice, inviting, warm welcome. The food was very good. Service wasn't quite fair to the prices. Bottle of water instead of a glass. Bottle of wine charged, even though only one glass was drunk. This could have been avoided by first giving us the bill and then letting us pay. For us, these are just small anomalies that won't stop us from a second visit.

Wir waren in Familie und hatten leider nicht reserviert. Treu und brav haben wir am Eingang gewartet, wie geheißen. Wurden hier aber komplett ignoriert., Blickkontakt zum PersonalI gab es mehrfach. Wir standen ca. 5. Minuten und vom Personal keine !Reaktion. Es gab freie Tische, auf meine Frage ob wir uns den setzen dürfen kam nur, wir sollten warten, sie hätten schließlich Reservierungen. Nein danke. So kann ich meinen Beruf nicht ausüben . Übrigens, wir waren konsequent und sind gegangen.

I ate the best steak of my life here. Many thanks to Andrea and team :)

Despite there being little activity, a very long waiting time and even though we only drank a home-made soda during that time, it was anything but convincing.

Very nice location, right on the lake...with a view of the lake (directly opposite the boat dock) we were well served...unfortunately a few places weren't quite as perfect, but overall everything was good and we had a nice lunch a cozy place in this terrible heat.

The staff at reception were very polite when showing us the place. The nice waiter took the order quickly. Before eating, during eating, people always asked if everything was OK. The staff was also super nice to children. We would love to come back, the food was great. ☺️

A great restaurant with a great staff. We sat at the open window front and were able to hear one or two words between the kitchen and the service. The good atmosphere that exists between the staff made our visit extremely pleasant and the fun at work was transferred directly to the plates, it was very, very tasty. A great team 👍

Nice ambience. Very friendly and competent staff. We all really enjoyed the food and the prices were appropriate for the quality.

We celebrated the start of school in the beach house and everyone really enjoyed it and enjoyed it! The children's meals could be a bit more child-friendly, my children left a lot leftover because there were a lot of larger spices/herbs in them. We particularly remember Hannah's service - she was so competent, professional and authentic, she knew exactly what she was doing and at her age - everyone noticed her positively. We would definitely recommend it. We had a wonderful start to school, also because of the great location, riding a pedal boat and then swimming in the lake.

Great restaurant with a view of Lake Markkleeberger. Food tastes excellent, steaks are top class. But the absolute advantage is that the restaurant is open every day from lunchtime... and Hanna, our server today, was particularly nice. We have been coming here for many years and are always pleased with the friendly, personal staff. The restaurant is a must… Family Weidnitzer

One of the best steaks I've eaten. Great service from the staff and very friendly. We definitely come here more often.

Best restaurant you can find on your way on the highway. Its one of the best view i’ve seen, giving me a holiday vibe and the food is something that stays with you after a while. Prices are something you have to pay extra for this privilege. Highly recommended. Also great service.

We ate here on our last evening of vacation and it was definitely a good decision. Very nicely prepared, delicious in taste and brought by friendly staff. I also particularly enjoyed the selection of music that evening, a playlist tailored to my personal taste. Although it's not really important, it absolutely rounded off the evening for me.

The Markkleeberg beach house is one of the discovery of the year this year. An extremely hard-working team (also for groups), high-quality food, and great respect for our dog. Anyone who can definitely stop by.

Food was super tasty. Our waitress was nice but couldn't handle criticism from the neighboring table and became insulting. Unfortunately, the worst thing was that towards the end our waitress was very drunk and you could smell it. Still a mega delicious meal. And the other waitresses were very friendly and enthusiastic. Would still recommend the restaurant

Excellently fried steaks, top-class wines, extremely friendly and courteous staff. Here you feel completely comfortable. Our dog was also taken care of, as she was given water without being asked and later her own prepared meal. We would love to come back here.

A small but very fine menu offers something for every taste. An extra steak menu will make your heart beat even faster. Tastes very, very good! Service really top!

Location with lake view. Very friendly service. Prices are a bit high, probably because of the location. We liked it.

A reservation is an advantage, but can be done easily and spontaneously via the website. The menu is rather unsuitable for children. The rest of the food was good. The steak is recommended, although you have to request a separate menu for it. Some of the staff seemed slightly overwhelmed, but this could also have been due to the sudden change in the weather with rain. The view of the lake is great.

Enjoy your meal. Clean. Proximity to the beach. Free deckchairs and parasols if consumed from the house.

Ambience great, waiters really nice too! For the price I would have expected a little better quality. Had tagliatelle with pesto for €19.90, plus a small portion of parmesan for another €1.90 (maybe 10 parmesan slices in it). There was almost no salt in the taste of the standard pesto, a (!) baked cherry tomato was added to the dish, a bit past al dente and the portion was simply small. Pretty disappointing for a teenager. Offering the dish for €12 would have been more than fair.

Very, very tasty food and great service. Everything was freshly prepared and served in a sophisticated manner. Kudos to the kitchen. We were also served in a friendly and quick manner by Franzi. We would be happy to come back and definitely recommend this restaurant.

Nice to sit outside by the water. Great service that makes up for the high prices for “normal” food.

Super delicious food, great selection, very friendly service! Unreservedly recommended 😉

We really liked it, friendly service, tasty dishes

Very nice service, pleasant prices and a great view over Lake Markkleeberger.

Great, nice service. Food was very tasty. Great ambience.

Always worth a steak. You can sit really well, the service is very nice and the food is so delicious. I highly recommend it.

Very nice atmosphere but priced in the upper segment.

Been here for the second time on a Friday evening. Both the Japanese Wagyu and the other steaks (especially dry aged) are great. Bruschetta and gnocchi as a side dish and the crème brûlée as a dessert are also great. Very good service and also a friendly owner. Gladly again!

Super delicious food, great service. We'd love to come back! Many thanks to Andrea for a wonderful evening 😊 Kind regards from the four girls (Steffi, Katja, Amelie, Maja) who had a great evening with you today.

You simply can't get enough of this friendliness, the ambience and the culinary delights. Thoroughly recommended!!!!!! The waiters and waitresses are simply friendly, helpful and simply know what is important. The food and drinks are on point and the ambience tops it all off. Sit down and enjoy. We will be back. Thanks

Good food and very friendly service, the staff and kitchens know exactly what to do. The atmosphere on the terrace invites you to linger

The waitress Hannah was very friendly.

Really good and the service is at its best, especially when you are served by a beautiful and really committed young lady named Hanna🥰😘🤩

Delicious food with a great ambience right on Lake Markkleeberger. Very nice service - would love to come back :).

We booked at short notice, received a very friendly welcome and were served excellently. The tzatziki alone as a starter was something to put in and was extremely generous. We were able to repeatedly request bread. The main courses took some time, were very tasty and definitely worth the wait. What needs to be particularly highlighted is the service. Hannah looked after us so kindly and courteously throughout the evening, fulfilled the wishes of us and our sometimes restless children and, despite the full restaurant, exuded a calmness and commitment that we had a great evening. We'd love to come back.

A very nice beach house, great service from Franzi, super nice and friendly demeanor. A beautiful lake view. And the food was very good. We'd love to come back again.

What a wonderful place…. The occasion was a team event, very nicely prepared tables with a menu, great service and the highlight was the dog menu, which was even tested by the four-legged friend who brought along. It's rare to experience something so stylish, a dog dish, beef by the way - lovingly decorated - would be great for TV advertising.. Keep it up, we'll be back.

Really tasty and Franzi was very friendly, highly recommended💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Fast and very tasty, thanks to the super nice waitress Franzi and the talented chef🙌

A piece of Italy at Lake Markkleeberger See. Great location with a lot of attention to detail. Great food and nice staff. We will be back definitely. Clear recommendation!!!

I was there spontaneously yesterday at 5 p.m. It was really nice, very nice atmosphere, menu sufficient, service was very cool and did its best to fulfill all ice cream/drink requests. Unfortunately he was alone in service and had to run to serve everyone. So conclusion, gladly again and definitely recommended 😁

I ordered an ice cream sundae. I found it very tasty. The price of 7.50 euros is quite expensive for my taste. It was an After Eight cup (to go)

The five of us were very happy with the food and I treated myself to a “small” steak. The service was wonderful, extremely caring and fun.

We were there with a group of 20 people, all of whom work in the catering industry, on a wonderful early summer evening and had everything: really well-made food with great starter platters, super friendly staff and a great trip! Rating recommended

We where a group of 4 persons and we called with very short notice and no problem, we came 15 minutes later and felt very welcome. Our orders where steaks, mussels and pasta. Each order was excellent, and the steaks where just perfect ! Great steak menu where prices and quality are hand in hand. One of my best restaurant visist in Germany for a long time, a hidden pearl by the lake. A

We ate and drank really well there, a really lovely team, from the boss, waiter to cook. We'd love to come back. Thank you very much :-)

We celebrated our 12th anniversary here. Our waitress was totally personable and accommodating. Our food was also absolutely delicious. All in all was great!! Thank you !! ☺️

An absolutely nice team inspires with very tasty food. I'm happy to share that. And the backdrop offers a holiday atmosphere... absolutely recommended ♥️♥️♥️

We wanted a cool drink and an ice cream sundae. We came across the beach house. A very nice location by the lake with a great view. The ice cream was wonderful and the waitress (Franzi) was very friendly and accommodating. We will definitely come back again and try the main courses.

We ate there with our clients with disabilities and it was just lovely. The conditions were accommodating and understanding. I particularly mention Conny and Frances. They were always there when there was a question or a problem arose. The food was superbly prepared, delicately draped and tasted heavenly. Always my pleasure.

We landed here spontaneously and immediately felt at home. Our waitress was Franzi, who looked after us very confidently and lovingly. The food was amazing. Since we run a very good restaurant ourselves, we are of course always looking for a nice atmosphere and good food. We are absolutely thrilled and would love to come back 😘 Thanks

The ambience was great. The service was very unfriendly. No flexibility with meals. Since I have an intolerance, I wished for a different side dish. I was told...it doesn't work. Just like on the map. Thank you for this “kindness”.

Very nice staff and beautiful views, ice cream is world class. Always worth a trip.

beautiful view of Lake Markkleeberger See

Very tasty and special food, friendly service, idyllic place. Gladly again!

Food was ok, but I would have expected much more for the price. However, the staff was very friendly

Not an ideal place for vegetarian or vegan food lovers. Price of food is comparative high.

Excellent food in a beautiful atmosphere and very friendly staff. We stopped here spontaneously after walking around the lake and were able to enjoy lunch with a great view. Price/performance absolutely justified!

We found out about it on the internet and it was absolutely great. The food was beautifully prepared and the taste was really exceptional. Especially Franzi's service is to be highly praised.

Great atmosphere, delicious steaks and wonderful service from Connie! We are very satisfied and will definitely come back!

Thank you for the wonderful service from lovely Conny!

Very tastefully furnished restaurant with a great view and very friendly staff... And the best thing is that dogs are not only welcome, but even have their own menu and get something very special to eat. Great business idea! Wish the team much success.

Finally a restaurant where everything was great. Great food, great ambience and friendly and competent service from Franzi.

Super delicious food with a wonderful ambience. Franzi was super friendly as a waitress. We'd love to come back soon!

Nice quiet restaurant with a view of the lake from the promenade to the arrival and departure of larger and smaller ships. Cozy atmosphere with well placed seating… Friendly staff and good selection of food and drinks. Lots of fresh ingredients. At its finest. We have been here several times and can only recommend it.

Good place to have a drink or entire dinner.

Ate very well and the prices were right. Great location. Wasn't there for the first time and will be back.

We went to the beach house spontaneously without any great expectations and were very positively surprised. The beach house is located directly on the promenade with a view of the lake. The service was charming and very friendly and attentive. We felt warmly welcome. The food was of very good quality, prepared with love and very tasty. The only one star deducted was for the pasta, which was too greasy for my taste. However, the dessert made up for it all, the cream puffs are an absolute recommendation. We would like to come again.

Apparently there is no free parking space. We drove again

Top-of-the-range establishment, attentive and very competent staff without rigidity, quality cuisine based on excellent products. Price in line with the quality of service.

As always: Very good service and delicious cuisine!

This is where you get the holiday feeling. Ambience, food/cuisine and courteous service. We'd love to come back.

Really a great restaurant. We can 100% recommend this restaurant. Very tasty and lovingly prepared food, very friendly service and a beautiful ambience made our trip to Markkleeberg perfect.

After our 2.5 hour walk around the lake, stopping at the beach house was the best reward ever!!! A crepe with Nutella and a latte macchiato😋

The starter was good, the main course was disappointing. For €210 for 4 people, the price-performance ratio and quality simply have to be right. Addendum: Our bill amounts to €192.30 see invoice number: R-05F7-2024-00324 including the tip, we paid you €210. I hereby stand by the statements I made.

We had a drink here and only the child ate something. So no rating of the food. The price level is high but you also sit in the first row at the lake. We had two dogs with us... they were no problem on the terrace. Water was even served. 😊 We had a great meal... Service was nice and accommodating. Gladly again

Had an 800g Dry Aged New York Cut which was very tasty...we were very happy with everyone and of course very nice staff keep it up😀👍

We felt very comfortable, great food, great service, everything was great.
