Schlosspark Schloss Morsbroich

We had a company evening dinner at the Schloss Morsbroich restaurant recently which I was really looking forward as I like the stylish surroundings of this establishment. In fact, living not so far away, I walked over from home along with my dog. I was...the last to arrive and all the others in the party were nibbling at the starters which were plates of the Schloss anti-pasta. I quickly joined in and sipped on a glass of what I assume was Geldermann Sekt sparkling white wine. For the main course I went for the cordon bleu, steakhouse fries (simple chips if the truth be told) and a small side salad. I personally didn't find the menu to be too adventurous sadly the rump steak was not available. And my cordon blue was simply boring nothing special but a bit out of place in such a lovely place... For wine we had a bottle of Monte Antico from Toscana at a whopping Euro. For those preferring white wine there was a bottle of Peth Wetz Grauburgunder at Euro. For dessert I chose the pineapple carpaccio with creme brule which was nice. And as a nice gesture to finish our visit we were offered a free digestif an Austrian herbal liquor not dissimilar to Jaegermeister. Service throughout was very pleasant, informal and friendly with our waitress going out of her way to converse with us in English. For most of the evening we practically had the place to ourselves which was, one the one side nice and discrete but, on the other side a worrying testimony to the popularity of the restaurant. Maybe we just chose the wrong evening to come. But to be honest, even though I live quite close I won't be rushing back here again with family and friends.

Entering the whole Schloss Morsbroich Castle ground your first stop needs to be the shop with a class of its own.....you have to purchase your entrance ticket to any of the events taking place in the Castle', here. The shop is run by free-lance staff...to support the cultural side of the Castle' and adds to keeping it's doors open. Anything hand selected and unusual, in decor, scarves, leather items, wooden toys, jewellery to name but a few can delight not only the eye but also makes you go out off your usual shopping way and tempts you to buy something special' for yourself or the person who has it all' but just needs' this special item. Before you go and have your foods, etc. in or outside the restaurant a stroll through the surrounding park is a must.....well kept with all sorts of flowers of the season delight your eyes. The restaurant caters for all ages and all taste buds, from vegan, vegetarian or/and meat eating customers....the well designed menu says it all. Cold/hot beverages, a selection of good wines, liqueurs and beers are all on offer, too. On my last visit I enjoyed a delicious ice-coffee on the restaurant's outside area overlooking the Castle's front facade. Long tables next to me had been previously booked by larger groups, who had just experienced an introduction talk in the Castle's Spiegelsaal (Mirror Hall) for a forth coming concert in town. All around me visitors have been raving about their foods some enjoying smaller salad dishes, soups, or just coffee's and cake. Children were playing on metal art designs situated on the grassy areas close by or just ran around. In the previously and redesigned stables of the Castle a group cleared out remnants of an event. These areas can be booked for all sorts of happenings. All in all this is a must visit' for any tourist/holiday maker or local who wants to experience a beautiful outing regardless the weather conditions.

The location is beautiful but the food was average and the service really poor. Imagine how great this place could be with a little attention to details...

This Restaurants situated in the Schloss Morsbroich and is just beautifull. During the Summer it is the perfect location in Leverkusen to ist outside and enjoy good food and cake. We had a Business Dinner with about People and the food and service was...good. The location is great especially for bigger groups. We will defenately be back for a Family Dinner as well as with Business guests and Colleagues.

Any time during the year you can enjoy well prepared food, delicious hot chocolate or even especially ordered chocochino's'. If you want to sit on the small terrace your view of the Schloss' will include the time-set fountain, well kept gardens with flowers in season....The Schloss' has been turned into a museum which not only houses many varieed exhibitions but also music highlights such as classical, jazz and pop.
