Zwolf Apostel - Werden

This is the perfect place to enjoy on a summers evening. The portions are vast so order the smaller bites or share. My teenagers loved the pasta and pizza. My son and I opted for a very good but huge schnitzels (there were two on each plate! Yes I think they slightly sacrifice quality for speed and quantity but it was great value and we had a fantastic evening.

I visited with a group of friends for an early dinner. The location could be perfect, but the overall impression is that it's a bit scruffy and uncared for! As german food goes it was quite copious, but without any real flair. I tend to be a bit put off by a menu card that resembles a rather tatty book containing dozens of choices and a list of never- changing daily specials! We were a group of about 40 persons dining early in an otherwise fairly empty restaurant and had only a couple of waiters . They coped reasonably well with the food and drinks service , but getting to pay your bill at the end was a real battle. Only one waiter evidently authorised to collect payment and he was more interested in clearing tables than collecting customer's cash! Probably good for a cool beer during a walk along the river,but not for good dining.

If you travel Essen and look for a relaxing spot where you can chill out, that is a place to go. Just a couple of meters walk through the garden, you are at river Ruhr. If you drive a classic car, you can find good parking slots as well. The meals are well prepared and quite large. To finish the 'Wiener Schnitzel ' is quite a challenge as it comes in large portions. The pricing is decent. The atmosphere is nice and relaxed.

Ich war nun drei Mal bei jeweils herrlichem Wetter hier und werde gerne wieder kommen. Es gibt sehr gutes Essen zu fairen Preisen. Insbesondere gibt es jeden Tag attraktive verschiedene Aktionen. Empfehlenswert sind die riesigen Pizzen, welche es beim Mittagstisch für 6,90 € gab. Draußen kann man ruhig und entspannt sitzen. Der Vorspeisenteller schmeckt klasse. Das einzige Risiko dabei ist, dass man dann kaum eine Chance hat, die Hauptspeise aufzuessen. Es besteht aber unkompliziert die Möglichkeit, nicht vollständig verzehrte Speisen einpacken zu lassen.

Das direkt an der Ruhr gelegene Restaurant bietet täglich ein Aktions Essen. Wir waren am Steak Tag dort und waren sehr zufrieden. Wir werden auf jeden Fall wieder kommen, da es geschmacklich sehr gut war. Service sehr freundlich und Preise moderat.
