Wassermühle Wardenburg

Friends took is to this place to show us what a German Brunch experience is all about. They could not have found a better place. We are outside next to a stream. Most folks day inside in relative elegance, but we prefer being outside. But where you sit makes no difference to the food. It was excellent! German bread is second to none. Cheese, meat, veggies, and coffee were in abundance. Many other selections as well. I hope to return here again.

The Wassermühle (water mill) in Wardenburg, is popular with locals, families and groups. Located on the cycle wheel route around Oldenburg, it is also a great stop for cyclists, though it lacks safe cycle parking. The Mill’s weekend brunches are popular and it is a good destination for lunch, afternoon teas and dinner. For an early Sunday supper in early October we were happy to still be served at one of their tables outdoors by the mill pond, for which their friendly and apparently well trained staff brought us blankets as the night progressed. The diners were a mix of families, groups celebrating something and diners from Oldenburg and surroundings. The Wassermühle has built a pizza stove for pizzas and tart flambée these Flammkuche were good, considering that Wardenburg is a six hours drive from the Alsace. A soup, two Alsacienne tart flambée (Flammkuchen), and two drinks came to €14 per head, which I consider modest in relation to the quality, service and pleasant surroundings. Note: Unfortunately the people at the Wassermühle follow the bad German habit of preparing milk coffee (e.g. Caffè Latte Macchiato, Café au lait et al) with what they call “normal milk”, which is unfortunately terrible UHT milk. Restaurants have fridges, so there is no need to pour dead white liquid into coffee. I take away one star for slaughtering espresso.

Good service personal, but 5.90€ a bottle of water refilled by tab...

A good combination of location, ambient and food, let down by the coffee. The Wassermühle (water mill) in Wardenburg, is popular with locals, families and...

Super brunch buffet, but the wild meat and the bark routine was a bit too hot and dry. otherwise the buffet was top! also the service was excellent! super nice and courteous set and a good love he cook! the weather has not played so well today, but also the small park is definitely worth a walk! All in all I am very satisfied.
