Nordbahnhof Krefeld

Great Place for reasonable lunch with typical German dishes.... Fresh prepared and no convenience products used in the kitchen. The boss/owner is always around and staff is well trained and friendly...of course during peak hours a reasonable waiting time is normal bit food is served fast.... Outdoor seating is a nice and not too hot.

Although I was very pleased at what this typical German restaurant offered in the past, my recent visit at lunch time was not so pleasant. I ordered a dish (asparagus, ham, hollandaise sauce, potatoes) that was a special lunch offer for $ 18.50. It was rather disappointing because the asparagus was not cooked long enough until tender. Although this dish was on the lunch menu you had to wait about 30 minutes until it was served.

I have been to the restaurant twice and I Love the atmosphere. Real good german food at affordable price.

Carnival time in Krefeld is hectic and we decided to visit for a family birthday meal on Ash Wednesday. Booking a table was the first problem but we managed one for 8 pm. When we arrived at 7.50 the place was absolutely full with many extra tables adding to the crush, but there was our booked large table awaiting with personal greetings from the owner. That was the first plus point. Our waitress for the evening greeted us also and as our guests arrived she fed them all quickly with drinks. The special menu for the day consisted of many fish meals and orders were quickly placed. The new kitchen (costing hundreds of thousands) must have been under strain because the very large double room was full and was filling up for the second or third time that evening.The atmosphere is always good and with family conversations the time passed very quickly as we all enjoyed the food. On the special 'tages menu' there was also a soup and a pudding included in the price and we really enjoyed the meal.What else can I say about one of Krefelds great institutions, the Nordbahnhof is famous for it's restaurant and it's very special atmosphere, whether it's eating on the platform, in the Lokschuppen or in the main rooms it is always a pleasure. Well done Nordbahnhof.

Have visited this restaurant on many occasions whilst working in Krefeld over the last ten years. Good, wholesome German dishes. Don't be afraid to share a table with the locals in normal German tradition!
