Wundertüte - essen. trinken. Freunde treffen in Essen

Small, fine restaurant. Looks rather inconspicuous from the outside. Went here for something to eat while working and had a nice private environment. Really comfortable. The food is very tasty and fresh! (I had potato soup, schnitzel with fried potatoes and ice cream with popcorn). Not too much choice, so that really fresh food is on the table. Separate weekly/seasonal offers are available. The prices are perfectly fine. From around €5 upwards. The service was friendly and not too intrusive. In total we were there for almost 6 hours 😃

Very nice people 👍 Great food 👍 it couldn't be better! 😊 Thank you

Very good. Unfortunately, the three-course menu with wine pairing wasn't available. Excellent food. Nice and bright decor. Unfortunately, the location is a bit out of the way.

The contrast between the location and external appearance and the standards in service and cuisine could hardly be greater. Very attractive! However, the kitchen did not fully fulfill its promise: the fresh Sicilian-style tagliatelle was clearly lacking in lemony freshness and herbal tartness (- ⭐️). It's also a shame that the greeting from the kitchen, rejected due to an intolerance to an ingredient, was not substituted. On top of that, the portions seemed quite manageable overall. The service was friendly, although the staff changed - someone else was always at the table asking questions or bringing something. Despite the size of the place, there is a feeling of confinement. Advance reservation is strongly recommended, perhaps even mandatory.

A very cozy restaurant. Food was great and the staff was very nice.

The highlight in the north of Essen - the WUNDERTÜTE in the Bochold district! Cozy, very tasty, (child-)friendly, subtle music in the background - everything your heart desires for a nice, relaxed evening! Compliments to the operators for the courage and commitment to invest here.

First-class restaurant in all categories: food, service, style, cleanliness and you can eat here pretty cheaply. What makes this restaurant very unique is that there are regularly interesting events here, such as wine tasting or "long tables", where people from the neighborhood can come together and get to know each other. Kudos to the restaurant owners who put a lot of effort and heart into these projects!

It wasn't my first time there and I will definitely repeat my visit

It was our first time in the lucky bag. The restaurant is attractive from the outside. Clean, tidy and well maintained inside. Friendly and very attentive staff as well as a good selection of food and drinks. Important: it tasted really good 👍. Our conclusion: we would love to come back 😃

We were very happy with both the service and the food. We would love to come back 😀

As always, a wonderful evening, great food, very attentive and friendly staff... Every time special and a successful evening! See you next time!

We had a great afternoon with you. Enjoy a great meal. Thanks to the chef. Thanks also to the service. The girls are all super friendly and accommodating... Thank you, we will come back...the 65 km journey is worth it. LG. Andrea and Detlef

We had a very nice evening in the miracle bag, the service was super attentive and friendly, the service was good and quick and the food was exceptional and good. Thank you again!

Since you can only post one review, I copied the first one from eleven months ago and added it at the back. At that time we were already excited, had "only" eaten a currywurst, and planned to order something more sophisticated next time, which we did today. We were there very early and were greeted warmly at the entrance. We then ordered French duck and ox cheeks. In short: a poem. We have now decided to eat here once a month if possible. First review: My wife and I went on a short bike ride because of the nice weather, but it was still very cold. Frozen, I say to her: let's eat a "Manta Platter", I discovered a new shop: the "Wundertüte". Now let's be honest, can you cook a currywurst to a star level? Boh eh, luckily there were two slices of baguette so we could scrape the last drop of sauce out of the bowl. I just say: awesome! Next time we come, we'll order something more sophisticated from the menu. The ambience and service are not outstanding in relation to the unusual cuisine. You just feel good. Keep it up, we wish you all the best.

Very quiet, relaxed atmosphere, to feel good...food absolutely delicious..

Very tasty and good food in a beautiful and quiet environment. The service is really friendly and attentive, unfortunately no longer the standard today. Thank you for the great evening, we'll be back. Clearly 5 stars 🌟

Nice individuell daily offering. Good price quality ratio. Friendly staff.

The food is very tasty and beautifully presented. We had the Valentine's Day menu today. The cook has it all. The employees are all polite and not intrusive! Are extremely positively surprised. Will come back there again when the time comes. There are still a few very tasty-sounding dishes that we would like to try. Can absolutely recommend the restaurant! Keep it up!

A wonderful evening, fantastic food, great, friendly service and a very nice boss. Be sure to try the homemade lemonade! We'd love to come back, thank you very much! Nschtrag: The menu for Valentine's Day was excellent and really particularly tasty! The atmosphere is, as always, very familiar and yet extremely sophisticated. A successful and unforgettable event, thank you very much and see you soon(✿♥‿♥)

Very tasty food and attentive service

Beautiful location, super friendly staff, Great food 🤩 Not too many dishes on the menu. We'll be back, the journey from Voerde / Lower Rhine was really worth it. Next time, among other things, be sure to try the highly praised Currywurst.

Always a pleasure - creative cuisine at a high level

Delicious food and very friendly and competent service. We'll definitely be back!

Absolute recommendation for a nice evening with friends and delicious food.

Unfortunately disappointing. Touted by promises like: "The best currywurst you've ever had," we decided to visit the restaurant and reserved a table... for 7 p.m. After arriving on time, we were allowed to wait 35 minutes until a waitress finally took our order. Another 20 minutes and a few complaints/inquiries later, the drinks arrived and with them the food. We then waited countless minutes for this. Finally, at 8:30 p.m. the food came and what can I say. The reasons given were illness and a lack of staff. The waitresses who were there tried hard, but well... you'll just sleep on the experience. The currywurst sauce, well... at least it was homemade... The taste miracle is different, as the landlord has probably never eaten a real currywurst before. The schnitzel suffered greatly from the breading. Unfortunately it was totally dry and the amount of sauce that went with it was insufficient. Well, finally the conclusion is: You can do it but disappointing for the price. You should definitely think twice about coming here. Price performance is inadequate and in the metropolitan region an exception that is only made once.

Unfortunately we had to wait over 30 minutes before we asked to order the drinks, for which we then waited another 25 minutes. We waited a total of 1.5 hours for the food. You were actually simply ignored. Quite a shame. Goulash was very tasty, as was the currywurst. Unfortunately the schnitzel was just dry. The service and everything around it is really not satisfactory. It's actually a shame because the map is appealing.

Food was delicious, service was a disaster

Unfortunately the restaurant was a big disappointment despite the good reviews here. The schnitzel was more bread than schnitzel and extremely dry. The fried potatoes were swimming in fat and had way too much pepper. The curry sauce was delicious. Drinks only arrived 35 minutes after we placed the order (35 minutes after arrival), so in total we waited over an hour for the first drink (after repeated requests). It was the same with dinner and dessert was forgotten. There was no apology. Really miserable

We are regular guests in the miracle bag. Same today. Both the steak on the special menu and the currywurst menu were terrific. Everything just fits here. The great cuisine and the always friendly and attentive service. Over time, the “bag” has become our extended living room.

After we were satisfied on our first visit, we unfortunately didn't have a good experience today. Schnitzel much too dry. Service very slow and the staff stands outside and smokes. Never again

Soup and main course were exceptional, very tasty and beautifully presented. In addition to the normal menu, there are other regional and seasonal dishes on a blackboard. The service was friendly, attentive and unobtrusive.

Great, I'm very satisfied :) I can only recommend it.

Unfortunately, the food and ambience are just average, very tidy, but rather sparsely furnished.

Very great restaurant, I was there with my mother yesterday and we felt very comfortable. There was no rush in the restaurant, the employees were all super friendly, helpful and took a lot of time to answer questions. Yesterday was our first time in the Wunderwüte, but definitely not the last time. 👌🏻

Incredibly delicious food and a super nice team!

Our visit to the miracle bag was once again a perfectly successful evening. From the service to the ambience and the food, it's a unique experience here in Essen. We look forward to next time!

Once again we were very satisfied all around. Everything was perfect. I invited my family over for a birthday dinner and everyone loved the ambience and service and the wonderful food. At the end I was even given a good bottle of wine. Thank you very much 🙂

It was a very nice evening in the miracle bag. Very, very tasty food, great service and a nice ambience. We'd love to come back.

The Wundertüte is a really good restaurant! Everything is perfect here: service, food, drinks, ambience. It's always a lot of fun to come here. There is a varied and creative cuisine with that “certain something”. I can recommend the miracle bag and am already looking forward to the next visit!

Great restaurant, beautiful ambience high quality food with a lot of creativity, something special. Very good service and price performance Everything is perfect here, I'd love to come back.

Great restaurant with super nice service and excellent food. A relaxed evening in a very nice atmosphere. A culinary gem that you wouldn't expect there. We are already looking forward to the next time. P.s. Here you can find the best curry sausage in Essen

The food was very tasty and the service was very friendly

There are thousands of restaurants in Essen and the surrounding area. The surprise bag definitely belongs in the top 3! The restaurant was completely refurnished in 2022. The owner couple has planned long and lovingly and thought everything through down to the last detail. No expense or effort was spared. Modern ambience, wooden floors, beautiful lava stone counter, high-quality furniture and behind the scenes a top modern kitchen. Anyone who knows gastro kitchens would love this equipment! The chef and his team of chefs: absolute virtuosos 👌 There is a stable basic menu and regularly changing dishes on the table. Only the finest meat, but also very sophisticated vegan dishes. From small dishes for small appetites to a five-course menu that fills the evening. And the service team is very nice and attentive. A top restaurant where the ambience invites you to linger, the service is good, the people are friendly and the food is delicious. Where can you find something like that? :) Happy New Year, by the way!

Wonderful restaurant. Great service. Very tasty food. To feel good!

We were here for Christmas dinner buffet style for 45 euros per person. The starter was ok, but also very small: 3 dips, baguette bread, antipasti, couscous salad. The main course was really tasty and also great for us vegetarians. However, the meat eaters didn't find it so exciting that only veal was offered. We were all extremely disappointed with the dessert. There should be brownie with port wine cherries. The brownie was a chocolate cake that was arranged carelessly and without tongs or anything similar, stacked on a plate. So you had to take it down by hand. The port wine cherries were slightly thickened morello cherries without port wine, and one searched in vain for spices. 45 euros is really steep for this offer. We really expected more.

A fantastic restaurant! Excellent food, friendly service and a great ambience. Every dish was perfectly prepared and beautifully presented. Absolutely recommended!

Super delicious food. It's worth it even if you live far away👍

Great cuisine, special dishes, good quality, nice ambience and great service! We'll definitely be back!! Highly recommended.

Selected little card with a lot of heart! The food and the quantity were excellent. The music could have been a little quieter. It certainly wasn't the last time we ate there.

It was a very nice evening. The ambience is warm and welcoming, the background noise is opaque. Pleasant to spend time there and enjoy the food. The portions of the food are large. You will definitely get full. The wines are sold at a great price; it is rare to see a restaurant like this that offers good wines at a fair price. From veggies to elaborate meat dishes, everyone can find what they are looking for. The service and the boss do a great job. You feel completely comfortable!

I was eating there alone because I was in Essen on business. I was welcomed very nicely, which is not always a given when you want to occupy a table alone. The atmosphere is very nice and pleasant. I had the fresh Sicilian style tagliatelle. They were ok! Simple pasta dish overall, perhaps with three slices of zucchini and 2-3 cherry tomatoes with capers and thyme, a really manageable portion for €16. As a rule, I can never manage pasta dishes, that wasn't the case here at all, I mean, pretty sporty, €16 for a simple dish isn't really enough to fill you up.

We had lunch there this afternoon for our wedding anniversary! We were welcomed very nicely! The service and food were outstanding! The place was very clean! Kind regards Mark Dvorak Annemie's holiday apartment in Goch

A delicious and sociable evening, in a beautiful atmosphere, the food was great, the service was great and friendly. The only drawback is the lack of hearing. The rounded end was dessert, we went home happy.

We were there for the first time on Sunday & the question is: Why did we discover this great shop so late??? Our Christmas party will take place there and we are very happy! It's so cozy and beautiful there but the most important thing is of course the food and that was one of the finest things we've ever had the pleasure of eating, everything perfectly coordinated with each other, simply a pleasure... and the service was tip top ♥️

Frankreichurlaub im Ruhrpott - ein begeisterter Tourist aus Niederbayern. Beste Grüße an die Küche bin begeistert.😋

Ein wunderbares Restaurant mit hervorragendem Preis- Leistungsverhältnis, kreativen Gerichten und einem sehr aufmerksamen und freundlichen Personal

We stopped by spontaneously after visiting Emscherpark! We were very surprised: friendly welcome, nice atmosphere, great cuisine for meat eaters and vegetarians and so we had an all-round successful evening!

The concept is not often found, the range (also in terms of price) is unusually wide, as if they wanted to reach everyone: from basics of the best quality to impeccable veggie dishes and impeccable meat dishes. In a positive way, the menu is not extensive but focuses on freshness and the seasons. For travelers and the curious, there are occasional themed evenings with wine and food from European regions. Decent wine list. The service is friendly and attentive and fulfills all small extra requests. Price level very reasonable. The location, hidden in the culinary diaspora of the north of Essen, enriches it (5* for that) but makes you shy away from the spontaneous journey from the southern districts.

Reliable on time, impressively presented AND: DELICIOUS, delicious, delicious.

Extraordinary, almost perfect in all areas that, for me, make for successful gastronomy. With the lovingly professionally prepared food and the good service, I managed to block out the unpleasant world outside. Thanks for that Dr. med. Peter Muhling

We received a very warm welcome. The food was very tasty and well prepared and the service was courteous. The staff took food intolerances into account. We spent a really pleasant evening in the miracle bag. Absolutely recommended!!!!!

Very nice service! We had a delicious meal and a tasty snack on the house

Cozy family restaurant, also suitable for children. Delicious. There is also a 3-course menu.

Cozy atmosphere 👍very nice staff and the food is simply great 👍

We were treated excellently and the service was impeccable - nothing was left to be desired. The schnitzel was perfectly souffled and incredibly tasty. My wife chose the monkfish saltimbocca and found it highly recommended. We are particularly grateful to the kitchen, who, at our request, prepared a pancake as a dessert from the children's menu. An all-round successful evening!"

Great restaurant with lovingly cooked food.

Wir haben einen schönen Abend bei ausgezeichnetem Essen mit unseren Kindern (6 und 9) hier verbracht. Unsere Vorspeisen waren zum einen ausgefallen und zum anderen einfach köstlich mit wunderbar aufeinander abgestimmten Komponenten. Die Hauptgerichte waren auch sehr gelungen. Die Kinder waren vom Schnitzel mit Pommes und Kartoffelpüree mit fischstäbchen schwer begeistert. Das selbstgemachte Eis für die Kinder im Hörnchen haben alles wunderbar abgerundet. Der Service war super freundlich und das Ambiente modern und einladend. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder.

We spent a lovely evening with excellent food here with our children (6 and 9). Our starters were on the one hand unusual and on the other hand simply delicious with wonderfully coordinated components. The main courses were also very successful. The children were very enthusiastic about the schnitzel with fries and mashed potatoes with fish fingers. The homemade ice cream for the children in the cone rounded everything off wonderfully. The service was super friendly and the atmosphere was modern and inviting. We would love to come back.

Very nice little restaurant. Nice ambiance and illumination, very kind and attentive staff. Full recommendation :)

★★★★★ We had the perfect wedding imaginable! The entire planning and implementation was simply great. The table decorations were an absolute dream - stylish, beautiful and designed exactly according to our wishes. The food was simply sensational and not only impressed us, but also all of our guests. Every course was a pleasure! Many thanks to the whole team for this unforgettable celebration! We can only warmly recommend the miracle bag to everyone!

Were in the lucky bag yesterday for the first time, but certainly not the last! It was just great!!! Food, service and ambience top!!! We will see each other again!!!

The food, especially the schnitzel, is highly recommended and really tasty. The service staff was also very nice.

Food was tasty, but the price and size of the food don't match. I have no idea whether the restaurant is suitable for this part of town

ganz hervorragendes Restaurant mit regelmäßig wechselnden Gerichten. Man kann draußen sitzen, wenn auch an einer Durchgangsstraße. Alle Speisen werden frisch zubereitet

Fine dining with a great ambience and very nice staff. We have been there twice now and are thrilled. The food is special and perfect for people who like to try something new. The prices are appropriate for the quality. The jazz music as accompaniment adapts to the concept of the restaurant. It is also child-friendly and there is even a special menu for younger guests. We are more than satisfied and can recommend the surprise bag without hesitation! Thank you for the lovely stays (there will be more to come) and congratulations to the entire staff. :)

We have been guests here twice now and were completely satisfied again. From the service, to the ambience, to the quality and ultimately the price, we have absolutely nothing to complain about, and from our own experience we can only encourage you to get your own impression. Personally, I think it's a shame to give lower stars for the district, a table near the entrance or even for the fact that you don't seem to be able to put the sesame seeds from your plate to your mouth. Please continue with your concept, the friendly manner and the many little things that make the visit unique!

SECRET TIP!!! Nice family shop with very good food. Not a surprise bag, but a miracle taste. Price performance really above average. Service very nice. The restaurant is tastefully decorated and designed with a lot of love. I hope we get to know the chef next time. You will see us more often from now on.

Very nice evening with very tasty food! Great concept & clear recommendation!

Gladly again! The food was delicious and both the drinks and the food were beautifully presented. The service was also very nice and accommodating.

It was our first and certainly not our last visit. Great and unexpectedly beautiful ambience, friendly staff from the chef to the waitresses. Food very good, great greetings from the kitchen, mega currywurst, delicious main courses and creative desserts. Plus everything at a reasonable price. We will be back!

We went there spontaneously for the first time, even though it's actually a neighborhood. The food was good and very tasty. The greeting from the kitchen was also extremely tasty. Service was nice and attentive. It's definitely not the last time we've been there and we'll continue to test our way through the menu, which is sophisticated for this area. Thank you for the lovely evening.

Hammer! A gem. Just lovely. There were 5 of us at one of the round tables, all with different wishes, and everything harmonized perfectly. 2 x the great, finely prepared and yet unpretentious 3-course menu with wine accompaniment (super fair price); my wife was thrilled with the stuffed zucchini and all with the great fresh aperitifs (we had them with and without alcohol). My little one loved the beautifully flat and crispy schnitzels from the children's menu. A perfect place to delight the palate and at the same time make the now not entirely undemanding kids happy. Visited there for the first time and will definitely come back!

Nice ambience. Attentive service. Delicious food. Everything fresh and varied. Can only be recommended.

The restaurant is definitely one of the best restaurants in Essen. Great food, very very nice staff, great atmosphere. You feel very comfortable :-) Thank you for the lovely evening.

Hello, I don't normally do something like that... but here... This is not a surprise bag, this is MEGA... Iberico schnitzel from the finest and dessert brownies to kneel down on... who would have thought... The stars have arrived at the Haus-Berge 👍👌

Es war ein ganz toller Abend, mit einem erstklassigen und sehr individuellen 6 Gang Menü. Der Service war nicht nur aufmerksam, sondern auch sehr angenehm. Die Beratung zu dem Menü bzw. dem Wein war äußerst professionell. Es hat sich gelohnt, mal etwas Neues auszuprobieren:-) Wir kommen gerne wieder und können die Wundertüte in allen Bereichen jedem nur empfehlen.

I can only recommend this restaurant! Everything was super fresh and delicious. Top quality. Fair prices. No complaints. 5/5 and see you soon, we'll be back! Second visit: same thing, just great!!!

sehr schöne Einrichtung, eine sehr gute Karte mit diversen Spargelgerichten und weiteren vegetarischen Gerichten. Lohnt einen Ausweg in den Essen Nordwesten, mit der Straßenbahnhaltestelle vor der Tür

I was there for a private party. It was very good: both the food and the service

Nice atmosphere, very accommodating and super friendly staff. You could rely 100% on the staff's recommendations regarding food. The food was super delicious. We'd love to come back. Were very positively surprised 👍

We went to this place for the first time because of a friend's recommendation. Friendly staff, great ambience and absolutely great quality. Top! We'd love to come back!

We went there for the first time from Duisburg and it was great. From the greeting to the farewell, everything was perfect. The interior is modern and very comfortable. The service staff are very friendly and you immediately feel very comfortable. And the food is refined, fresh and very tasty. The plate language also whets the appetite for more. There are also very tasty things on the menu for vegetarians. And the prices are really not too high for this quality. We'll definitely be back.

It's all ok. Can definitely be recommended.

Stopped there by chance and I have to say I did everything right! We received a very warm welcome, there was a recommendation from the kitchen in advance and the main course was perfect! Great atmosphere, nice team and will definitely come back.

Food, service very good. A little more sauce wouldn't be bad. We will be back

Food very tasty and lovingly prepared - service super friendly and accommodating - value for money impeccable. Can only be recommended

On a red carpet. If you walk into the restaurant you will be smiled at and escorted to your table. That was great. Good start. The three of us sat in the back corner at the table and on each table there was a vase of roses. I think that's great 👍 the menu is very well filled. From €5 to €30, there is something for every taste. The service is very friendly and you have fun. What I like ❤️ we ordered the schnitzel with fries, the meatballs. With fried potatoes and I ordered the best currywurst in North Rhine-Westphalia. She was okay, but nothing more. As a starter we had a sandwich that looked really tasty and also tasted parsnip soup and I had a wild salad with honey dressing that was absolutely amazing. All in all I would say we enjoyed it very much. In any case, I'll come back again one day with another friend

Normally 5 stars in everything, but the area in which this wonderful restaurant is located is not exactly inviting. However, the food, service and interior ambience exceeded all expectations. From the starter to the main course to the dessert, everything was really perfect. We were thrilled and would love to come back.

So sympathisch und völlig unerwartet. Toller Service, top Qualität, kreative Gerichte. Ein Ort zum Ankommen und Wohlfühlen. Die herzliche Gastlichkeit und das Ambiente sind außergewöhnlich. Currywurst mit Weinbegleitung ist überraschend, aber genial. Alles weitere steht dem in nichts nach. Wir sind begeistert.

We felt very comfortable. Service and meals were excellent and we would be happy to come back.
