Waldhaus am See in Gelsenkirchen

Very good restaurant in Gelsenkirchen. Nice atmosphere and very good and friendly service. Parking spaces in front of the door. Reservation recommended. We always enjoy coming here.

Very nice location, great menu and great staff 👍👍

Very pleasant restaurant, attentive staff. Always happy again.

Was there for an event with a larger group. The food was delicious and the service was friendly and attentive.

Very nice evening. The staff was very accommodating.

An exquisite place to eat, and staff to match. A pleasant experience.

Top shop, first-class atmosphere, very good food, very friendly staff and a very nice owner 😊

I can recommend the Waldhaus am See without hesitation. Everything was perfect for me. It's just a shame that there is only a reduced selection of dishes on Sunday lunchtime. But the dishes on offer are also sufficient and would also be rated as very good by the people accompanying you.

A wonderful place to end a long day pleasantly. We were absolutely surprised from the food to the decoration and the staff. The staff's attentiveness has never waned and even when all the tables are full they are always willing to listen. They simply complement each other. We enjoy being guests here. The food is very good and second to none. The ambience is outstanding. We always enjoy coming back.

We went to the restaurant on the weekend without a reservation and got a very nice table with a view of the lake. The food was delicious, the service was top notch, a rarity these days. Went there again the next evening.

Great atmosphere, very attentive staff. Even the boss Mario takes action. Very tasty food. I can only recommend this restaurant without any ifs and buts.

Price performance fits, it was a nice evening

Incredibly delicious food, super friendly service, great atmosphere. We'd love to come back! Thanks :)

I really only have good things to say about this restaurant. I've been there several times, the selection of food is quite sophisticated and the quality is high. The waiters are super friendly and you can tell that they care about the well-being of their guests. Certainly one of the best addresses in all of Gelsenkirchen, if not number 1. And all at completely reasonable prices. You definitely won't be disappointed. (and no, I don't get any money for this review)

10/10 my favorite restaurant in the entire Ruhr area

The service was good, the food tasted good and was nicely prepared. Unfortunately, the dessert wasn't that good and wasn't nicely presented either. I would have expected more for the price.

A real insider tip for anyone looking for a restaurant with an upscale ambience. Maximum service and the food a revelation 🥰

Very great restaurant and the food is very tasty. The staff is very friendly and always available if you want to order something. It's a little more expensive, but good food has its price.

We are frequent guests here and have always been very satisfied... No problem at all with our 3-year-old granddaughter... The waitress was very kind to our little one. So see you soon

Very great atmosphere, cozy, super friendly staff and great service. The food is excellent, you can tell the price is ok, but it's worth it. Parking available. Access for disabled people.

We were guests at a wedding and had dinner with 40 people. Other than the beautiful location, there was nothing great about this place. The service was very unfriendly and we had the feeling that everyone was very overwhelmed. The schnitzel was tasty, but you had to look for the sauce underneath. The fries were undercooked and inedible - unfortunately no one was interested because the staff didn't ask - neither in between nor when clearing away. It's actually a shame for these very high prices. I'm sorry for the bride and groom...

I was there with a friend and the service was quick and attentive. The food was delicious and also a nice daily menu.

Great food, great service and a beautiful location. Have been here many times and will be back many more :)

Very good selection, very friendly staff, prices reasonable, highly recommended.

We celebrated my brother-in-law's wedding there..A fantastic location with great food and perfect service..The location is also absolutely convincing...Absolute recommendation..!!

Hier wird Qualität groß geschrieben. Alle paar Monate sind wir im Waldhaus zu Gast und jedes Mal übertreffen sich die Köche aufs Neue! Ich bestelle mir immer den “Gentlemans Cut”, 400gr dry-aged Steak und jeder Cent ist es wert! Als Beilage sind die Kartoffel-Chips zu empfehlen; hauchzart, knusprig und voller Geschmack. Auf Empfehlung des Hauses haben wir von der Wochenkarte das Thunfisch-Steak bestellt. In der Regel esse ich kein Fisch auswärts, aber dieses Stück hat mich positiv überrascht! Service ist wie immer 1A.

Beautiful outdoor terrace. Food very nicely prepared and tasty. Friendly service. Parking spaces available.

Today I only drank coffee but I will definitely go out for dinner

Great ambience celebrated the wedding of my brother and sister-in-law on August 24th, 2024. Great food, good service, just lovely. We say thank you for the lovely evening

Simply wonderful. Mega tasty and wonderful ambience. Service nice and accommodating. Hard to beat. Thanks for the great evening

Last night we ate there as a family of 4. It was incredibly delicious! The staff was very friendly and attentive, the food was fantastic and the price-performance ratio was right. I ate a very tender seared salmon fillet that I will remember for a long time. The beef that my husband was served was also perfectly prepared. For smaller children you can order a side dish as a main course, we chose the baked potato. As a farewell gift, the very friendly waiter gave our daughter a large pack of cookies, which was really sweet! Unfortunately we were just passing through, so we won't be able to come back so quickly; but would love to do this!

You should reserve a table on the weekend. The restaurant was visited on a Saturday and was completely selected.

Great restaurant. Very nice terrace. The food was excellent, but at a higher price. Very good service. I can only recommend it

Unfortunately a failure. Table ordered, arrived. 2 employees cannot find the reservation in their book. No matter, we were assigned a table. 6:15 p.m. The store is quite full, so wait for service. Menu: We are surprised at the very high prices, but if you get something for it, that's ok. Unfortunately that wasn't the case. We chose a standard mixed salad, nothing special, then a schnitzel with beans and Bombay chicken breast. What arrived? As written, a standard salad. After the salad, a very long wait, the boss comes and apologizes for taking so long. The store is just very full. An absurdity when it comes to prices. The schnitzel was average. With fries and beans. The chicken breast was plain fried, a rice ball without anything and brokoli. So also standard pub food. Add two more Krefeld cheeses and a coke and the €83 was ready!! Invoice. We've eaten much better for the money and in places with prices like this they take care of their guests. The boss then wanted to do something “good” for us, but then disappeared and we just paid and left. It's a shame, the shop is nice, but we won't be going there anymore. The recommendation is to take a look at the menu online beforehand, the price/performance ratio doesn't match at all, even with the steaks (you also look at the plates of the people sitting next to you😉). Visit: 08/17/24 from 6:15 p.m. to approx. 8:45 p.m.…….

Great atmosphere, the food was very good and tasty. Highly recommended.

Very friendly, attentive and extremely helpful service. The starter and dessert were delicious, the wild salmon was well done and hardly seasoned at all

The food was top and the ambience by the lake was also very appealing. We were there on a Saturday evening and unfortunately it took a bit long. Everyone has to decide for themselves whether the high prices are justified.

A very nice restaurant, with good service, delicious menu, and a wonderful view of the park and lake. You can also relax and just have a cappuccino and cake 😁

Everything perfect, food, service, friendliness. Enough parking spaces.. Nice view

Very good quality and excellent service

Friendly staff Very tasty food Not a long wait It was just a nice experience to be there.

There really isn't anything bad that can be said here. Great food with exceptionally good service in beautiful surroundings, beautiful interior... a highlight in the Ruhr area

We would like to thank you for the great buffet and the good service during our aunt's 90th birthday celebration. Everything was wonderful and I can highly recommend this restaurant. Best regards Ines and Marita

Very nicely located, great selection of food and delicious. Unfortunately it's usually too full. But always worth a trip.👍😊.

Great ambience, excellent service and excellent food.

Very nice and nicely decorated. Food is very good but it also has its price

Rarely have we eaten so well...and sat so beautifully....

Very friendly staff, very good food - we would love to come back

We spent our 24th wedding anniversary today in this wonderful restaurant. The food was very good, the portion size was perfect and the staff was very friendly, attentive and helpful. Price/performance ratio is reasonable, the quality was very good. This wasn't our last visit!

Very well-kept, upscale ambience and facilities. Hospitable and courteous service. The food is great and highly recommended. 👍😀 Go there, you too will be amazed. 🌞🌞

Everything fit there. We were more than thrilled.

Went to a wedding there and it was a great location! The adjacent lake in the garden is particularly beautiful. The staff was nice and quick and the interior design looks very classy.

Previously expensive and good. Now expensive.

The ambience and location are very nice. The cake was okay. The iced coffee was super watery and the scoop of vanilla ice cream was full of ice crystals. The service wasn't particularly friendly. The prices were clearly too high for what was delivered.

Beautiful location, great service and delicious food!

Very nice location in the middle of nature. Great facility, very courteous staff and incredibly delicious food. Higher price point, but certainly appropriate.

A customer is very close by, so I've been to the Waldhaus with him about ten times. It was always delicious. Sometimes I had vegetarian food, sometimes steak, sometimes fish, sometimes snails, etc. It was always good. The service was always friendly, quick and attentive. Because of the architecture and equipment, the volume is pleasant, never too loud. The large terrace with a view of the lake is also wonderful. The selection is relatively large, but they manage to prepare all the dishes fresh and quickly. The prices are okay considering the quality.

After being guests at the Waldhaus twice a month, we would like to thank the whole team for the great service and the excellent food.

We had dinner there on Mother's Day. We basically sat in the connecting room, it was hectic at times, the house was full... But it was okay. Food was good, no fully loaded plates. Plus point, dogs are allowed, water was even offered for the dog. Very nice service. We'd love to come back.

First-class food, high-quality restaurant. Gladly again.

We celebrated children's communion there today with 23 people. We had a very nice place on the terrace. The food and service were also very good.

Very good and charming service, dignified ambience and delicious food. Due to various family celebrations, there were various menu offerings. With a delicious asparagus soup, main course and a chocolate mousse. There was something for every taste. Everything tasted excellent, was delicately seasoned and lovingly prepared. Balanced price-performance ratio.

Everything was great, very good service, nice service. Always my pleasure.

Sehr guter und charmanter Service, gediegenes Ambiente und leckeres Essen. Aufgrund diverser Familienfeiern gab es diverse Menüangebote. Mit einem leckeren Spargelsüppchen, Hauptgericht und einer Schoko Mousse. Für jeden Geschmack war etwas dabei. Alles hat hervorragend geschmeckt, war fein abgeschmeckt und liebevoll angerichtet. Ausgewogenes Preis Leistungsverhältnis.

Everything is great, also for celebrating parties and going for a walk, a place where you can stay for a long time

Great, everything was very good, thank you keep it up.

It was once again a very nice evening with excellent food. The staff is attentive and friendly. Ambience modern and stylish. We felt very comfortable. Thank you and see you soon.

Very good food, friendly staff. Recommendation: eat a la carte

Very nice restaurant with good food. The Sunday lunch menu is different to the evening menu and other menus, smaller and designed differently than usual, cheaper with starter soup and dessert included. But you always find something. Portions are not big, but it is enough. Definitely worth a visit and it's a good place to go for a walk. Reservations would be an advantage.

The only negative point is the prices

We each ordered 200g beef fillet with Bernaise sauce, mushroom heads, grilled tomato and croquettes. We were already irritated when the waiter asked when ordering whether we would like to order any additional side dishes, which we said no. The food came in the normal time frame. A plate with a relatively small beef fillet, 1/2 grilled tomato, 4 small croquettes and 2 !! Mushroom heads on each plate. That looked very clear. We then ordered more croquettes. These also came - on a small plate there were 4 small croquettes for 2 people. The food was otherwise really tasty. When we paid, we were amazed that there was an additional charge of EUR 4.50 for the 4 small croquettes. When asked, the waiter said that he had been instructed to collect the money that way. With a price per dish of EUR 39.50, you can certainly expect that you will at least be full. There was no accommodation from the restaurant (dessert, coffee or digestif). We felt totally ripped off and the restaurant experience left a bad taste in our mouths. We have eaten at the Waldhaus several times (even in large groups) and were satisfied. If the restaurant pursues this new strategy of high prices and small portions due to increased energy prices or the after-effects of Corona, it will certainly feel the effects soon. We are disappointed...and won't be coming back for the time being.

Really a great restaurant. The ambience is nice, it's cozy. Everything here invites you to linger. The service was 1 with *. Very friendly, accommodating, quick and polite. I haven't had such good service in a long time. The food was impeccable. We were there on a Sunday, where there is only a small menu but everything is offered as a menu, but there is something for everyone there too. If I'm ever in the area again, I'll definitely come back. Only the price is corresponding.

In the meantime, further visits took place at the Waldhaus am See in Gelsenkirchen, even a semi-circular birthday. I can only say that I am completely thrilled by the ambience, which is very important to me, the friendliness of the staff and the quality of the food. I can only recommend the house.

Only recommended! I have never experienced such friendly service before and the food was also excellent! Logically, this resulted in a fantastic ambience that you can hardly wait for your next visit :)

We only saw the Waldhaus am See from the outside, almost as we drove past, and found it so cozy that we looked at the map online. We liked this just as much and the lack of price information suggested that this was a more upscale class. We were there recently and it was a dream! The food was very tasty, the service was very accommodating and the winding restaurant was very cozy and pretty. After paying, I asked about the chocolate dessert that I had seen at the next table and we were promptly served one for free so that we could try it. It's definitely not the last time we've been there, even though it's actually quite far away from us, but it's definitely worth it and the menu still has a lot of interesting dishes!

Light and shadow... Great ambience, good menu, decent portions, varied wine list - basically everything you need for a nice evening in the restaurant. Special praise for the great pasta, rarely at this level outside of Italy… BUT: if a carpaccio costs €17, you can expect that it won't come straight out of the fridge with a plate and that the rocket will already be wilting. And the quality of the meat was unfortunately subpar, around 25% was not chewable as tendon. We commented and then received a formal apology as we left the restaurant. That's nice, but it doesn't do much good. Because conversely, this means that the customer is deliberately not offered any relief for poor quality (the question of guilt is irrelevant). That's not possible - especially given the apparently high standards that are conveyed to the outside world!

Upscale ambience, good food selection, even for non-meat eaters. The little guests have also been thought of. With the option of sitting on the terrace with a view of the lake. The furnishings are dignified and comfortable. Celebrating on a grand scale is possible. The staff is very friendly. A parking space is available

We always enjoy being there. For every occasion. And now with the large terrace it's even nicer. Especially in summer.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting this restaurant and my experience was absolutely fantastic. The atmosphere was inviting, the staff friendly and attentive. The choice of food was varied and the food itself was deliciously prepared and attractively presented. An all-round successful evening that I will definitely repeat.☺️

A very dignified restaurant in terms of the ambience, but it is not very classy. You can go there dressed normally. SERVICE STAFF is very good, and the food was there relatively quickly at 5:30 p.m. Food was very tasty. Will definitely come back and if it's warmer outside then sit outside.

The ambience is very nice. We don't find the staff to be consistently friendly. A lady who seated us lacked a smile on her face and was very taciturn. We didn't feel very welcome. The male waiters, on the other hand, were very nice. The selection is huge, the food is fantastic! The truffle pasta is incredibly tasty and the meat is perfectly prepared and tastes outstanding. However, the noodle portion is very small. For us it's more like an appetizer size. Thank God we ordered roast beef and salad on top. Together with the dessert, we were just about full. For the price, however, I expect a portion that is enough to fill you up on its own. Overall, the prices are at the upper pain limit. Definitely not for every day. But we would definitely like to come back.

We have been there several times now and have not been disappointed so far. The food is very tasty and the restaurant is very comfortably furnished. The staff has always been courteous so far. We'd love to come back.

My husband and I spontaneously stopped by this really nice restaurant on Sunday afternoon. The ambience impresses with its modern and warm character. I felt the warmth and love that this restaurant exudes. The service staff also reflects this warmth and love. I felt like I was with a good friend. As a hobby cook and lover of good food, I really got my money's worth. I'm actually very picky when it comes to food and I definitely don't eat everything. But the dishes that my husband and I had were simply the best we had eaten in a long time, both in terms of craftsmanship and quality. The recommended wines were perfectly matched to the food. Cheers, my dears. This was the best thing I've had on my plate in a long time. Big compliments for this great evening! We'd love to come back. The price-performance ratio was reasonable to cheap considering the quality and service. I would also have liked to add something more. Thank you very much

Very good. Nothing to complain about.

We had a wonderful Sunday in the waldhaus am See. The ambience is wonderful, the location is great. We were able to walk the dog before and after dinner. The food was delicious and the service was courteous and friendly. Highly Recommended

Great ambience, delicious food. The service is very attentive and the portions are always generous.

Upscale ambience; Top notch service; excellent dishes: highly recommended!

Cake still has potential for improvement. Otherwise a great shop

Excellent cuisine in a pleasant atmosphere.

The only decent restaurant far and wide... For all occasions for celebration, dining and well-being...

Vielseitig, hervorragend und lecker! Und wenn die laut quietschende Aufwaermtruhe, die sich bei jedem Öffnen nervend bemerkbar macht, erneuert wuerde, und die halbwarmen Ruehreier dann auch heiß blieben, dann gibt es auch gerne 5 Sterne aus Herne😉

Incredible dishes, really well prepared, the meat is absolutely perfect. Very good quality and great side dishes. Very nice attentive service. I would say posh and upscale.

It was indescribably beautiful there. Food, value for money great!! Friendly staff, we felt really comfortable 👍👌😃

Everything is just right here. Great ambience, great service and excellent food. That entices you to come back. We are there regularly and for every special occasion. In my opinion the best restaurant in the city and I'm a gourmet.

Very nice restaurant in Gelsenkirchen. Very attractive furnishings and excellent wine list. The dishes on offer are varied. Everything tastes very good. E.g. Hollandaise and Bernaise sauces are homemade. Very friendly waiters. Great view. Funeral arrangements are also available in the afternoon.

Highly recommended. Good parking opportunity and nice in the green.

Dias Restaurant verfügt über große, sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtete, Räumlichkeiten zum See hin gehen Sie in einen verglasten Wintegarten über. Schöne Sicht auf den See und un den Park. Das Speisenangebot ist mediterran, die Preise haben gehobenes Niveau.

Das Ambiente und das Essen sind hier spitze. Der Service kann man nur als 1a bezeichnen. Im Sommer durch die Terrasse und den Teich Spitze. Ok es ist nicht gerade billig hier zu essen. Aber ich gehe lieber einmal weniger dafür aber gut aus

Super schönes Restaurant in dem man sich sofort wohlfühlt. Der Service und die Bedienung einfach klasse, vom Chef angefangen über die Mitarbeiter einfach top wohlgefühlt und als Gast gefühlt! Sehr zu empfehlen und wir kommen sehr gerne wieder!

Sehr gutes Restaurant mit schöner Lage.
