Wessenberg Cafe Restaurant Bar in Konstanz

Great restaurant, you can sit in the courtyard; the coffee was good; service was unfortunately very poor; it wasn't busy, and yet we had to wait a long time until our order was taken – after repeated inquiries; it was similar for paying; so – service could be improved considerably, the ambience and space were very nice.

We liked the service, as well as the location, open-air, and a beautiful day. The German food was also good, although since they didn't have a Spanish menu, we didn't have enough battery left on our phones to translate the dishes, and what we ordered turned out not to be what we were looking for, but they were friendly.

Even after three years, this is still the best sausage salad I've ever eaten. The cheese dumplings are also highly recommended. There's a beautiful outdoor area at the back.

Very tasty food in a beautiful courtyard

Beautiful restaurant with a great courtyard! Unfortunately, the service staff are sometimes inattentive and unfriendly. We weren't served the menu until 25 minutes later, after repeated requests. Dishes were forgotten, and this wasn't acknowledged at all. Unfortunately, the food is hardly homemade—much of it is—immediately noticeable—store-bought. A shame!

Delicious, fresh menu, including lighter daily specials. Beautiful courtyard, friendly service.

The caramelized onions in the burger were too salty. The dumplings in the mushroom ragout were also very salty. When we shared our comments, we were only told that they were going to talk to the chef. Additionally, we asked for a little bread and for 4 tiny baguette slices, they charged us €3.50. When I questioned this ridiculous price, I was told that this price is for unlimited bread which we definitely didn’t order. Although the atmosphere is good, does not worth the price at all.

Great place, delicious food, great atmosphere, and excellent service. The courtyard has a real flair, and the burgers and the zander salad were absolutely delicious. Highly recommended!

Set in a beautiful courtyard, this is a truly lovely place to stop in the summer. Unfortunately, it's not available in the winter. But even inside, it's definitely worth a visit. A good choice. One that I'd revisit on a second visit. The service was really slow and the drinks were poor. The prices are noticeably rising.

Peeking by chance from the street I saw tables and chairs in a green interior courtyard. It brought back memories of Japan and the French Riviera. My curiosity was such that I quickly found myself in the middle of this Provençal-style place decorated with multiple Mediterranean topiaries, beautiful tables with sun-beaten wood, the old stones of the library mixed with contemporary architectural elements and high-tech shade sails. I ate well there and everything that was brought to the other customers seemed delicious and fresh. The friendly staff provides good and professional service. The prices are very reasonable. It is a beautiful, quiet place and, if one day I came back to Constance I would gladly stop there again. Probably with the only regret of not finding the precious and charming smile of this lovely waitress who lit up this moment of my vacation.

Well-kept ambience and friendly service.

We had a pastry and coffee there, but it didn't taste like anything. It's hard to say what it was.

Satisfied my hunger in the rainy afternoon. Salad plate with two fish crisps (I would have eaten one more ;-)) and spaetzle, also topped with plenty of mixed salad – everything was top-notch.

A very nice restaurant! The service is beyond perfect. They weren't pushy, knew exactly when we wanted something or needed advice, and always arrived at the perfect time. The food was absolutely divine! We will definitely be back!

Bad-tempered waiters ruin every meal. I was there with my friend. First and last time.

One star for the ambiance, which is great, and one for the service, since they can't be held responsible for everything. We were looking forward to a lovely evening, but unfortunately, choosing this restaurant was a mistake. What a pity. The quality of the food at these prices is very poor. The steak was overcooked, the fries were left in the fryer too long, and you'd expect something different from the spaetzle. Perhaps the kitchen was overwhelmed or had other things to do, as there were still a few tables available. The wine selection was very good. What a pity. Perhaps we'll return another time, if there are no alternatives in town.

Really nice and friendly people. I always enjoy coming there.

The restaurant is centrally located and features a beautiful courtyard, which offers pleasant seating in the summer thanks to the shade. The menu has something for everyone, from meat to vegan, and the lunch menu also offers these at very reasonable prices.

The service and ambiance are simply fantastic—especially in the summer, when you want to treat yourself to a break from the hustle and bustle of the city. It's great that there's always a vegan option on the lunch menu. I rarely find that otherwise.

Delicious food, friendly staff, and a wonderful ambiance in the courtyard. We'd be happy to return anytime!

I highly recommend the salad with crispy fish; I enjoy it again and again. The staff and service are charming, courteous, and very attentive. I'm delighted that they now also offer a non-alcoholic pale ale, which is great in the summer in the beautiful courtyard.

Delicious food, friendly and socially engaged staff (which some people who have never been there probably don't like).

The Wessenberg Restaurant boasts a great location with a lovely outdoor area in the quiet courtyard, which is particularly pleasant on sunny days. The brunch buffet offers a wide selection of different dishes, including fresh egg dishes and à la carte lunches – there's something for everyone here. The service was okay, but not particularly attentive, which somewhat detracts from the overall impression. A little more attention would have improved the experience. An important note for summer: The food at the buffet is not refrigerated, which is especially problematic in warm temperatures. The white sausages were only lukewarm and therefore didn't seem quite fresh. Overall, a nice place with a good selection, especially recommended during the cooler months.

Every time I go there, I think to myself, I have to go there more often. You can experience the perfect summer evening in the impressive courtyard, which is truly unique in Konstanz. The menu is concise, but the dishes are delicious and beautifully presented. The service is friendly and welcoming.

A varied menu, for all tastes. The staff is always available and smiling. Sunday brunch is a classic (for groups of more than 2 people, I recommend booking). The summer terrace, on the other hand, is an oasis in the city.

A lovely, quiet courtyard for outdoor seating. Excellent food, especially the lunch specials.

Very good food. Very friendly staff.

We had a great evening! Special thanks to our hostess Laura! <3

The outdoor courtyard with its plants is very beautiful, fast service, average food, let's say I go there for the atmosphere

Great service, wonderful Käsknöpfle and large portions, nice ambience.

It is simply beautiful to eat in this courtyard. The ambience is wonderful. If you eat in Konstanz, then eat there.

I can't rate the food, but I can rate the subpar service when making the reservation. Booked a table online 10 days ago for Easter Monday at lunchtime and got it confirmed. On Easter Sunday there was an online inquiry as to whether the reservation would remain valid. Then on Easter Monday shortly before noon I asked by phone whether it would stay that way and that they would only have brunch that afternoon. There was and is no sign of this in the restaurant or on the homepage. On the contrary: according to the weekly menu, there is even a normal lunch menu today, Easter Monday. No, thank you: the first and last chance wasted...

Very good food - nice service - we were happy to have found a good restaurant that wasn't so touristy on our last evening

A great beer garden / courtyard and solid cuisine with friendly service.

It was a great, quiet place to have lunch. The waitress gave us an English menu and talked us through some of the choices.

Thank you, it was a delicious lunch 😊

Nice interior, delicious cakes, friendly staff. What's annoying - and not the ladies in service can't help it - is that there's a man in charge of the restrooms who keeps them clean. There's also a note on the wall referring to the friendly gentleman: Note that guests can of course use the restrooms for free, but that he would still appreciate a donation. I usually leave my bag and everything at the table. (Unless I'm alone.) I found it very unpleasant that I didn't have any money with me. Whether I give something or not is my decision, of course. But if I do, it's annoying having to walk through two doors and past the building back to the table, then back to the restrooms and then back to the table again.

First, the positive: The courtyard is very nice. Service: We had to wait a long time for the menu. Worse: The drinks didn't arrive until well after the main course. Dessert arrived after we asked twice. Quality: The goat cheese salad consisted of two small pieces of cheese and a few green leaves. The cheese wasn't cooked. The standard sauce didn't go well with the goat cheese at all. The bread was stale.

We went out to dinner this evening, hoping for an enjoyable end to the day. We ordered tender perch fillets in beer batter with potato salad for €23.90 and received six nuggets with potato salad a few minutes later. Whether the nuggets actually contained fish couldn't be confirmed; the "amount of fish" was hidden in homeopathic doses in the batter, with no flavor at all. When the waiter asked if everything was okay, I replied that I would describe what was served as fast food. He simply replied that they were "Knusperle" (crispy fish). Had I ordered "Knusperle"? Conclusion: We feel completely ripped off – two fish nuggets with two glasses of wine and a bottle of water for €63. I'm happy to pay a reasonable price for a decent meal, but the quality in this restaurant isn't bad; it's simply a disgrace. It's a shame about the lovely ambiance.

Went for brunch on Sunday and can only recommend it. Price performance was really very good

Cafe and restaurant centrally located in Konstanz. Less than three minutes from the train station and the lake with its ferry terminal. You have to order food and drinks at the counter. Long wait times during rush hour... Around 8 a.m., you can still sit comfortably in soft leather armchairs and enjoy your meal without much hustle and bustle.

The food was very tasty, but we were left with a ton of half-full drinks. That's unacceptable. Addendum: That was probably just the server's fault.

The overall assessment is mixed: While the food portions are generous, their quality could be improved to raise them above average. The wine, however, is good. The service is fast and friendly, and while the interior is cozy with lots of wood, the noise level is very high. The prices are rather high considering what's on offer.

El café no es bueno, chocolate bien pero algo frío. Ambiente más de licorería que de cafetería. Servicio profesional y atento.

I've eaten here several times. The menu is fantastic and the food is excellent. The staff is friendly and you feel completely at home.

Very welcoming little place, refined and well-kept furnishings, friendly and helpful staff, an excellent opportunity to take a break and relax before continuing on your journey.

Käseknöpfle is something you must definitely try, all the flavours are amazing. Salad are the best we’ve eaten, especially dressing. Waiters are great, atmosphere is cozy and very nice. Super expierence !

We were in spring 2024 at this place for a breakfast. We were seated at a table in the courtyard. The food was delicious, and came quickly. The staff was very efficient and helpful. All in all was a nice experience. Highly recommended 👍🏼😀

I came here with colleagues to eat fondue. Everything was quite nice, but the fondue was nothing special, and when the bill came, I was speechless: €38.50 per person!!, without drinks. And after almost three hours, we had to leave the table. That was definitely the last fondue I'll have here, if I ever come back.

Really good German food and nice service. We were there for a wedding party and the food was amazing, the atmosphere is cozy and the staff was very friendly!

Ambience and service great! The lunch menu clearly needs improvement. Wild boar ragout was ok, the dish from the wok wasn't that special. Too bad.

We received super-friendly service, the food (dinner of the day and Kässpätzle) was delicious and really hot!!!! We'd love to come back.

Our Wessenberg has always been good. I've been coming since My training at the judiciary and that was a really long time ago...but the espresso today was particularly good...really comparable in quality the one in Zurich on Bahnhofstrasse in the shop at the roaster. Really great… Marion Dietrich-Hartmann Salem

Sunday brunch with a very rich buffet that left nothing to be desired. Very friendly and fast service. Very cozy atmosphere. Very clean. Reservation recommended as it is very busy.

Unfortunately, the coffee and chai were just bad, the cake was very mediocre. The waitress was probably not in a good mood and skillfully ignored our wave to pay. The absolutely terrible condition of the toilets (one broken, three badly dirty/piss-filled, only one with toilet paper and quite smelly) rounded off the picture.

Unlike last time, we were billeted indoors. Logical, autumn and cool. The Sunday brunch was varied and tasted great. Some with special dishes, but it was worth trying. Space on the table for two was a bit tight. The same was always true for “through traffic”. The star deduction for service applies to the inconsistent prices (for brunch) on the website. Different prices are listed there. Please clean it up! In short: a visit to Wessenberg is absolutely recommended.

Great café near the cathedral with very nice, friendly and attentive service. Great coffee and very tasty cake.

We had a drink on Saturday, September 14th. The service was very friendly. Drinks were served quickly. We'd be happy to come again.

The menu sounds good, but our meal was mediocre, too expensive for the price. We had the mushroom goulash, which was more of a béchamel sauce than a mushroom flavor. The fish crisps had too much batter, and the potato salad was too salty. It's a shame; we won't be going back.

We were there for the first time today. We received a very friendly welcome and were quickly shown to a free table. The waitress who served us was super accommodating and very quick. The food (cheese dumplings) arrived quickly and was also very tasty. We finished off with a New York cheesecake. We had to wait about 10 minutes for it, which was a bit long, but not a big deal. When the cake finally arrived, we were repeatedly apologized for the wait and given a free coffee. It was absolutely unnecessary, but it shows that customer service is a top priority here. We would definitely eat here again!

Posto decisamente teutonico con un sapore antico. Cibo passabile e prezzi modici. Simpatica la signora che ci ha servito e, anche se parlava esclusivamente tedesco, ci siamo intesi ugualmente.

You have to visit this restaurant and eat something there. It's very, very good.

Excellent Nice setting, quality service and excellent cuisine I recommend

Zum Abendessen heute im Wessenberg. Super nettes Personal. Essen top und super schnell auf dem Tisch. Danke vielmals. Ihr seid auf unserer Shopping List. Kommen sehr gerne wieder.

We were back last night after a one-year break, and everything was perfect, as always. Top service, top wine, and very good food. See you next year!!!! P.S. The men's and women's restrooms were disgustingly dirty, and that doesn't fit the ambiance or is probably not Wessenberg's standard. -------------------------------------------- Back after a year. A very beautiful, cozy courtyard. Very tasty food and pleasant, friendly service. Highly recommended. Be sure to reserve a table on weekends.

Super nice ambiance, truly magical. The prices were reasonable. Friendly staff 😊

Very nice restaurant in the middle of Konstanz with a great courtyard. Very friendly service, good menu and interesting wine selection. Always worth a visit.

A great restaurant with an incredibly beautiful courtyard that can't be topped. But the menu is very meager, and the salad with zander crisps is simply too expensive. That means a lot of leaf salad and exactly two pieces of zander for just under €22. In my opinion, it's a rip-off, a real shame.

The service attitude is very good, the seasonal dishes and drinks are very good and taste very good. I will go again if I have the chance.

The carrot and ginger soup was absolutely delicious and highly recommended. The penne was excellent. The service was very friendly and attentive. I will definitely be back.

Very nice place for private parties, that was once again clearly demonstrated, would be happy to come again.

I'm really torn about how to rate this restaurant. It is very clear: Excellent service, the entire team was friendly and accommodating, I would come back for that reason alone. I really enjoyed both red wines that I had. I find it very appealing that almost all the wines were the same price. This is really fantastic as you feel very free to try things out. To eat: It's nice that there aren't many dishes on the menu, but there are some that are well cooked! Fish in batter is very tasty. Tartare sauce could be a bit more complex (maybe a few herbs, acid or something) Roast roast is also very tasty, only the fact that it comes with fries is strange, it's good that you can switch to knöpfle. Sauce and knöpfle were great. The burger...if possible I would try minced fat and hips and try normal burger patties. It's stupid to eat with steak strips or cut thinner. Otherwise good taste, just falls apart. Dumpling goulash is a good idea, just not my thing. Bread salad was tasty but not as diverse as expected with only eggplant and tomato. The bread could have been crispier. For me, the beetroot and goat cheese should not be included with the starters or a small portion should be ordered. I also think the price is amazing at €17 for cooked beets, canned chickpeas, a bit of apple, onion and goat's cream cheese. Conclusion: Great restaurant that cooks good home-style cuisine, but could still improve the dishes a bit and has excellent staff! I hope you take this as constructive criticism and thank you for the lovely evening! Thanks for the evening

We spent a very relaxing afternoon with coffee, hot chocolate and cake

A beautiful courtyard with lovely greenery and lighting. It's very atmospheric. The good food tastes twice as good!

Nice atmosphere, "bad" food... It's been a long time since I've eaten so badly. And our selection wasn't anything that would have really challenged a seasoned chef. We started with a bread basket of sourdough bread from the "Brotalgut" bakery. The bread we received was very dry (old), the crumb was very fine-pored, and the crust was anything but crispy. The quality of the bread was comparable to that from a discount bakery. The dumpling sticks were also dry throughout and anything but a pleasant eating experience. The dumpling goulash served as the main course was not a culinary delight for the reasons already mentioned. The baked fish was okay, but the accompanying tartar sauce was unfortunately only a mediocre ready-made product. In principle, there's nothing wrong with a ready-made product in a restaurant of this category. However, even a remoulade base like this can be enhanced by adding fresh herbs, onions, pickles, and diced egg. Dumpling sticks don't have to be bone dry either. All you need to make the dumpling mixture is the right ratio of cream/milk, butter, egg, and bread/roll. It's a shame, really, because the service was prompt and did a really good job, and the location itself is a lovely place to linger.

Very nice restaurant. A wonderful courtyard. The food and service are top-notch.

It's been around forever. It has a beautiful courtyard. The food isn't cheap, but it always tastes pretty good.

Good restaurant in a beautiful courtyard. Nice meal.

Besonders schön ist der Innenhof vor allem in der warmen Jahreszeit. Hier kann man sich wunderbar erholen vom emsigen Treiben in der Altstadt. Sehr freundliche Bedienung, moderate Preise sowohl für Essen und Wein

"Beautiful courtyard and delicious cakes...but the service leaves a lot to be desired. First, we were ignored by the wait staff—even though it wasn't busy in the afternoon—and then we were served the wrong drinks several times."

Beautiful courtyard garden – a real treat in the warmer months 😋🙏 Good menu with a variety of dishes at reasonable prices. You're served by very friendly staff 💪🏻 We love going there when we're in the beautiful city of Konstanz 👍🏻

Always a permanent address for us in KN!

Great place. The service was very nice and helpful. I recommend.

This backyard from Wessenberg is awesome!! You can tell that a lot of love goes into the work here. I recommend the bread salad 👍🏻 It really tasted fantastic!

Nice courtyard terrace, I was disappointed with the goulash 😞

Sehr schöner Innenhof, freundlicher und schneller Service, schmackhafte Gerichte und für das gebotene angemessene Preise , der einzige Fauxpas ist der Wein in 0,1 cl das ist ja wirklich lächerlich, wobei in einer anderen Lokalität in Konstanz sehr schön ein Schoppen 0,25 auf der Karte steht wie es sich gehört

Super tasty, totally friendly service. Fast service. Definitely recommended. ☺️

Very friendly service and a good restaurant. Beautiful location.

Very fresh food and a nice ambience with the possibility to dine on the spacious terrace

Great brunch on Sunday with a beautiful courtyard

Only had drinks but it was really nice.

Very friendly staff and a wonderful, peaceful atmosphere with delicious food. You can't ask for more ❤️

Delicious brunch. The food was delicious, but it lacked that certain something. The service and ambiance were very good!

Great courtyard and the staff was very nice

Great friendly staff. Good atmosphere among the staff! The bar service was great and the cocktails were first class! Thanks!

Das Restaurant Wessenberg in Konstanz bietet eine angenehme Atmosphäre und eine vielfältige Speisekarte. Leider entspricht die Qualität der Küche nicht immer dem Preisniveau, was ein enttäuschendes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis ergibt. Besonders ärgerlich sind die Getränkepreise, die mittlerweile unverhältnismäßig hoch sind. Ein Liter Tafelwasser für 6,90 € mag zwar gefiltert und mit Kohlensäure versetzt sein, bleibt jedoch inakzeptabel teuer. Auch eine heiße Schokolade für über 6 € ist jenseits dessen, was angemessen erscheint. In Anbetracht dieser Punkte ist es schwer, eine uneingeschränkte Empfehlung für das Restaurant auszusprechen. Der Service, vor allem vom Stammpersonal, ist jedoch positiv hervorzuheben und stellt einen der Gründe dar, weshalb ich das Restaurant noch besuche.

Super restaurant, bonne cuisine et serveur sympa ! 👍

Mehr Schein als Sein Überrascht von den positiven Bewertungen Das Essen war höflich ausgedrückt sehr mittelmäßig (z.B. sehr trockene Serviettenknödel, Pilzsoße ohne Geschmack), insbesondere unter Berücksichtigung des Preises. Zudem mussten wir leider sehr lange auf das Essen warten, obwohl das Restaurant nicht stark besucht war… Sehr schade, da das Restaurant von außen einen tollen Eindruck macht.

Schöne Bar mit freundlichem Personal und leckerem Essen

Toller Innenhof, mit schönem Ambiente... Am Abend, eingeschränkte Auswahl von Gerichten... Aber sehr gute Qualität...
