Villa C (Colonial) am See in Malente

Excellent brunch with a wonderful view over Lake Dieksee. Friendly staff, excellent parking across from the train station, and tastefully decorated dining room. Highly recommended!

Bad service, waited 10 minutes for the bill and the waitress is more than rude

Everyone enjoyed the dishes and they seemed to be freshly prepared. The service was also good. Unfortunately, street noise spoils the otherwise beautiful setting.

I highly recommend it. After the 5-lake tour, stop there for a drink and a bite to eat with a view of the lake.

I had a fantastic dinner at Villa C. The food was delicious and well presented, and all waiters very friendly. Also not to forget the beautiful view on the lake!

Today was my first time here. Delicious coffee and cake, good prices, and super friendly staff. Great views of the lake. The food is excellent.

The operators and the team are simply overwhelming, usually nothing is left to be desired 🫶

Very tasty. Great service. Best currywurst for miles around. Made with veal! Very good burger.

Simply amazing. The food and service were first-class. The restaurant was extremely busy, but everything was impeccable. The restaurant is definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.

Unfortunately, I have to give it one star because the waiter, who is supposedly German, and we wanted something to eat as usual, and the boys wanted a drink first, but the rude waiter came in with a bad mood and said it was dinner time, no drinks, and that we only had 10 minutes to drink. What a rude waiter

We enjoyed cake and coffee. To finish off the evening, we had a glass of Riesling. Simply gorgeous. The view over the lake... unbeatable. The service was super friendly and quick. The cake... addictive. We'll be back

Great location, friendly service – but prices are out of balance The Villa Colonial Malente is in a truly beautiful location – the view of Lake Dieksee is fantastic, and the terrace is a great place to linger. The staff was very friendly and service-oriented, nothing to complain about. The food was very tasty, although some dishes were rather small in portions. The prices were a definite negative – unfortunately, the value for money isn't there. Drinks, in particular, are priced at the high end. Another irritating feature: Many prices on the website are listed €2-4 cheaper – and have apparently been for some time. The fact that the online menu isn't up to date seems a bit careless. Conclusion: Beautiful location, friendly service – but the prices aren't convincing.

Great offer and very nice staff

The staff was very friendly and attentive. The food was delicious and plentiful. We had roast beef and hake. The view over Lake Dieksee was very pleasant. Reservations are recommended. I'd be happy to come back.

I ate a really delicious hamburger there, it was simply fantastic!

Excellent cuisine...very good...fast and friendly service

An exceptionally beautiful cafe with a great atmosphere, delicious cakes and very friendly staff.

This is questionable business practice... we arrive at 9:20 p.m. and want to have one or two drinks each for the four of us. There are still several guests in the restaurant and free seats, and the opening hours on Thursday are listed as 10:00 p.m. Nevertheless, we are rudely asked to leave, claiming that the bell has already rung for the last round... very questionable behavior! Then you shouldn't be posting outside or on the homepage or online until 10:00 p.m. Rude and strange! And a shame... ☹️

Everything was great, good service, good food, beautiful lakeside terrace.

Good selection of food and cakes. Everything is very casual.

Very nice location. We stopped here after a trolley ride. Friendly and attentive staff, delicious food, and the view of Lake Dieksee is so beautiful.

Delicious food, very nice surroundings, and friendly staff. Prices are a bit higher, probably due to the location, but acceptable.

The restaurant is located right on the lake and offers a fantastic view. The waiters were attentive and very friendly. The food was simply excellent. I had the mushroom pan and can highly recommend it. Very, very tasty. Served with a nicely chilled rhubarb spritzer. What more could you want?

A real hit :) The ambiance is fantastic; the terrace offers a fantastic view of Lake Dieksee, and the trees also complete the ambiance. You don't need to reserve a table on the terrace. Occupancy was 50-60%, and the servers were friendly and competent. The menu arrived quickly, as did the drinks. Lunch arrived surprisingly quickly (less than 15 minutes) and was delicious. It was filling, and two people spent a total of €52, including tip, which was by no means excessive considering the quality, speed, and atmosphere. Highly recommended :)

The restaurant is absolutely recommended.

The restaurant's location is, of course, top-notch. Sitting outside, you have a wonderful view of Lake Dieksee. The food was delicious (I had the vegan bowl), but it's a bit pricey. The service was very friendly.

A schnitzel, whether Jäger or Wiener, with fries is quite expensive at around €21. Generally very expensive, but the ambiance and location with a terrace overlooking the lake are worth the money.

We've been here so many times, and it's always worth it. Since the weather was great, the terrace was open, too. And it was very busy. The food was amazing. I had roast beef, and my dad had baked potatoes with crayfish. It was delicious, and we were full. Thank you so much. See you next time 🤗

The food is really delicious, beautiful view of the lake, friendly staff, always happy to come back, in the picture super tender matjes, highly recommended

So far, yes, but the expensive salad with steak strips was meager, with two limp slices of bread and barely any fresh vegetables. We've had better here. The staff was very friendly.

Delicious food right on the shore of Lake Dieksee in Malente. The view, if you're lucky enough to get a table on the terrace, is wonderful. I have no complaints; the menu offers something for everyone, and the price-performance ratio is reasonable. The food arrived quickly, and the service was attentive, friendly, and prompt. I was there in the afternoon; I can imagine that a reservation would be advantageous in the evening. Coming with a dog is no problem!

There's nothing to complain about the food, except that my burger was served lukewarm. The ambiance is very nice thanks to the lake view, but you have to like the many 'sayings' on the walls. The service was disappointing. We waited over an hour for the food; our orders were slammed down on the table in an unfriendly and hasty manner, even though the place wasn't particularly busy. The waiters kept taking short breaks and were certainly aware of what was going on, giving us plenty of quick glances when we were about to order, but they simply didn't care. There are student waiters who deliver more for minimum wage. Whether that should be their own standard is something the waiters have to decide for themselves.

Delicious food and friendly, attentive service. Beautiful view of the lake.

The food was very good and exceeded our expectations

We had a great meal. We also had some really good cake. 🎂 NICE STAFF.

Nice restaurant with reasonable prices. The food was delicious. Unfortunately, the wait was quite long, but we were clearly informed of this beforehand. The location is fantastic.

The ambience of the restaurant at Diecksee is very nice. After waiting over an hour for our food, we were very disappointed, especially with the asparagus meals. First of all, the asparagus was decorated with a cheese (probably from the bag), which was not specified on the menu or anywhere else. The 500 grams of asparagus stated in the special menu were not nearly achieved with the 5 medium-sized spears. The asparagus was so overcooked and watery that it couldn't be enjoyed. The waiter told us that the asparagus was medium, so it would be a compromise between al dente and soft. It definitely wasn't, but it was also badly peeled. Burgers, fries and currywurst are probably okay in the restaurant - but I wouldn't order special dishes here, and certainly not asparagus.

Very friendly, good cuisine with delicious food, nice view. Successful evening to end the week. Recommend without hesitation from main course to dessert.👍🏻☺️

We came here for coffee. Great selection of cakes and very tasty. We'd love to come back.

A wonderful place with great food and polite waiters! I strongly recommend that you stop by here for a great food experience.

Very nice service and great food

The restaurant is beautifully situated by the lake and it's lovely to sit on the terrace. The street is sometimes a bit noisy, you have to know that. The service is great, even when it's full. And it's definitely often full here. I for one will come back. I ate asparagus with schnitzel for around €25. Great, fresh, hot, and requesting an extra sauce wasn't a problem either (at no extra charge of course). Worth every penny. This is how good, real gastronomy works!👍

Best weather, great view, very attentive service, great food! See you next time.

Very good restaurant with a nice selection of food, very good service and a view of the lake. Price performance is very good compared to other restaurants in town. My steak was medium rare. The asparagus cream soup was so delicious that we came back for lunch just for it.

We always enjoy staying at the villa. So far, every time I drink it with coffee. The selection of cakes is large, the quality is very good and the staff is always very friendly. When the weather is good, you can sit on the terrace and enjoy the view over the lake.

Enjoyed asparagus with zander fillet sauce Bernaise and potatoes on the terrace today in beautiful sunshine. We were served by an extremely friendly waiter who enjoyed his job. The view of the lake is wonderful...

I was lucky without a reservation and got a table despite the restaurant being full. One of the few restaurants that also have something for vegetarians on the menu.

We celebrated a big birthday. Everything was perfect...the winter garden has a great view and we felt very comfortable. Thanks

Were there with 9 people. Everyone got their very good food at the same time. Everyone was excited. Super nice and attentive staff, we asked when reserving a table whether it was a special occasion. The table was then beautifully set. That's service!

Full marks…..! That says it all! Always our go-to place when we are in Malente because everything is right. The food was delicious and also regional, the service was perfect and the atmosphere was lovely and cozy. You don’t even want to get up 😜…. These are actually the basic requirements for an evening in the restaurant, but unfortunately they are becoming increasingly rare! That's why we keep coming back, even though we already know the menu 'by heart' 😜!!!! Doesn't matter…

Super nice place to eat, the food was good and the service was top notch. My rump steak melted in my mouth.

Everything is just right in this restaurant! The service is great, very courteous and attentive! Dogs are welcome. The food was always excellent and the atmosphere is super cozy and nice. You can't complain about the prices, they are completely reasonable. We are already looking forward to our next visit, we feel very comfortable with you! Many thanks to the employees!!! You're doing a great job!

I really liked it, we'd love to come back!

Very nice restaurant! Fast, helpful service staff. We've eaten there 6 times within a short period of time. It is a true culinary experience. The duck breast with Brussels sprouts, red cabbage, potato gratin and super delicious sauce is a poem. I ordered from the special menu as well as the venison goulash, which my husband also ordered a second time. The roast beef with fried potatoes and salad is also recommended. There are well-cut slices and a sufficient portion of fried potatoes. They are crispy, freshly fried. Not chopped up. All highly recommended! Dessert was also delicious 😋 Thanks for the overall package and the taste experience. The Black Forest cake and the nut cake are a poem! I fell in love with the ambience of the restaurant and the menu! Unfortunately my stay in Malente is coming to an end soon, but I think we will come back again sometime.

We were there for cake and dinner on New Year's Eve and the day later. Very attentive and nice staff, a varied menu, the dishes were absolutely delicious and the homemade cakes are amazing 🔨. We would love to come back...

Very attentive and courteous staff.

We were there spontaneously at lunchtime today. It is very cozy/well-kept and definitely a highlight to sit outside by the lake in summer. Even the work clothes match the ambience. One can only congratulate the food/the chef and the team. From the duck with cranberries to the dessert, it was a poem. Prepared and served with a lot of love. A restaurant you should definitely visit in Malente. The price-performance ratio is absolutely justified and I don't think it's too expensive either. Friendliness and somehow the feeling that you have known each other for a long time is noticeable. We'll be back next summer. The good looking cakes are a must try. 😀

Ever time we visit family in Eutin, we visit Villa Colonial. The food is excellent, the desserts are outstanding and the service is prompt and courteous. We highly recommend this restaurant

Everything's pretty OK. High quality of stay with a good view. Disabled toilet on the ground floor. Also located right near the train station.

Nice location, good price _performance ratio... service super nice

Were there today with 2 adults and 2 children. I had a delicious starter with a small portion of mushroom pan, super tasty and then had the deer burger, also super tasty 😋. Would recommend the restaurant again and again, nice service and delicious food.

Here I enjoyed by far the best steak of my life!!! "Beef fillet steak under a herb crust" - every single bite is a poem and with the last piece there is a feeling of melancholy and farewell that everything has to come to an end... unfortunately!

Pizza and burgers Pretty good - especially the sweet potato fries. Great cake buffet and delicious Kaffir specialties.

Everything is very tasty and the staff is very friendly 👍

Delicious food, very friendly service. Food came in a reasonable time.

The food was delicious. The service was friendly and competent... 👍

Were here for the second time today and it was great again. The ambience is a dream...the sunset over the Dieksee and excellent food and service. We thought it was great that the season ticket (despite the same autumn season) had something new in it, which I ordered straight away. The pumpkin soup was also modified and just as delicious. For the main course we had hake and venison goulash, both great! So we'd love to come back! Sorry, the pictures aren't great, my Habdy is old😂

We celebrated our wedding at Villa Colonial and everyone was thrilled! There were almost 50 of us and we had a wonderful, quiet area at the top of the restaurant where we were completely undisturbed, even though the restaurant was still running at the same time. The cakes were simply excellent and the buffet left nothing to be desired. It was super tasty and everyone enjoyed it. The service was excellent. After dinner we moved to the Villa Down Under - a bar where you can celebrate. The change of location was great because it loosened up the company even more and no one just sat in their place all day. It was a wonderful day and we would like to thank the Villa team from the bottom of our hearts for their commitment!! We would celebrate here again at any time and can wholeheartedly recommend the villa!

It's always a pleasure to come back there.....great atmosphere, great view....and the stars say everything else 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟!!!

It's just great there, beautiful terrace and the selection of cakes is great 👍👍

Unfortunately I cannot recommend the vegan potato dish. Rarely have such a loveless vegan dish been served.

Very great location with a very good selection of delicious cakes, unfortunately the outdoor terrace is often overcrowded and very difficult to reach for people with walking difficulties, the existing ramp needs to be reworked in terms of accessibility otherwise you can only get up here as a wheelchair artist, 😉

Beautiful lakeside terrace. Food was plentiful and good. Service very nice.

Food and staff good, great location with a very nice view of the Dieksee

We spontaneously went there for dinner with three people, two adults and a child. In addition to drinks, we also ate very well and had a lot of fun on the sun terrace. Huge praise goes to the outstanding service from the employees. With a lot of friendliness and attentiveness, every wish was always fulfilled and everyone was completely satisfied. The food was also world class and tasted excellent. We ordered the burger, a bowl with steak strips and a children's meal with fish. We would love to come back and are really looking forward to it. We can therefore recommend the restaurant to everyone.

Great service, extensive menu (also vegan/vegetarian). Great view of the Kellersee, we were very satisfied!

Located at the ferry pier. Large outdoor terrace. Very friendly service and homemade cakes as well as burgers or zander with pumpkin spaghetti and shrimps were very tasty. From there you can also get to the Kellersee etc.

Great location right on the Dieksee. Well-kept furnishings with a spacious terrace. Service very friendly and attentive. Our food (cutter plaice / redfish fillet / raspberry sorbet) was well prepared. The portions are sufficient for “normal eaters”. A successful stay.

Very nice gastronomy. Delicious food and drinks. Nice view of the lake. Also for drinking coffee - always happy :-)

Very nice view over the Dieksee, friendly and fast staff but the food didn't correspond to the price. There are really delicious cakes for that😊

Went there spontaneously last night and despite the hut being full we still got a table for two. Many thanks to the very nice employee. You rarely find something like that today. The food was great. Everything was wonderful.

We came across this restaurant by chance during our vacation. We ate the pasta Bolognese and a Jägerschnitzel. The food was very tasty and the service was extremely friendly. We would love to come back on our next vacation :)

Unfortunately, I had to experience that this restaurant itself doesn't know what's in the ready-made food they buy. So the crab soup is only “decorated” with the addition of icing. Since not everyone knows about their unknown allergies, I was allowed to leave the location early. When you asked what allergens and ingredients were in it, you only received irritating looks. People, butter by the fish, look and write down what you sell to your guest at an overpriced price. I got off lightly, the next person will be carried out unconscious.

Everything was perfect. Friendly, attentive staff, delicious food and a nice ambience (from the terrace with a view of the Dieksee). We'd love to come back.

Everything we ordered tasted really good, we can and must recommend this shop!

Beautiful view of Lake Diecksee, very attentive service, delicious food

Delicious food, friendly service and a beautiful view, we recommend👌🏼

View of the Diecksee, windows adjustable to different heights to ventilate the room, very attentive waitress, food was excellent

Very tasty, very nice staff. Gladly again

Good, fresh food, friendly staff, view over the lake, best marzipan cake I've ever tasted.

Overall it was fine. However, a bit too expensive

Great restaurant and coffee, perfect service that thinks of everything and is super quick and friendly. The cake, raspberry cake and mandarin cake are an absolute HIGHLIGHT.

Food was very good, super nice service, everything went great, would be happy again

Delicious food, friendly service and you can sit outside by the lake. Unfortunately we live a bit far away so we don't have to go there often, but when we're in the area again we'll definitely go :-)

Food standard. Service top. You can tell straight away whether you are being served by temporary staff or trained staff. Accordingly, there was also a tip. Nice view of the lake.

The food was really delicious, we ate there in the evenings all weekend. The price-performance ratio is also great. The service was also friendly and quick. Only when the terrace was opened when the weather was good, the two waiters were a little too few and the waiting time for drinks took longer (the kitchen was still super fast). But then the owners probably stepped in and things went better :) We can highly recommend the restaurant

We have been here several times, most recently with a larger group. Although we were there a good 2 hours earlier than announced, we were able to take a seat at the table that had already been prepared and were warmly welcomed throughout. The ambience is very nice and seems high quality, the restaurant is located right on the water so you have a great view of it. We would be happy to come back🍀

Very cozy facility with a beautiful view of the lake. Good cuisine, nice service.

Great view, nice location. Food was good, unfortunately the staff were very slow, so we had to wait quite a long time for our food.

We stopped here for lunch after our circular bike tour and had a great view of the Dieksee. The service is good, the prices are high and the atmosphere is nice. The pizza was great!
