"Super restaurant, with great boss and very nice staff. With the family for years. The dishes taste excellent. The wishes are always addressed. The portions are very large, so there is the possibility to pack food. The salad bar always looks very fresh and appealing. For the super large portions including salads and liquors on the house the prices are reasonable. In the cellar there is even a bowling alley, this has already come a bit into the years and could be renewed. The restaurant remains the first choice when it comes to spending a nice evening with the family and eating well."

"They ordered the first time today. Delivery came fast, but unfortunately not in warm box. I can't. The packages were not labeled, so it was a funny riddle guessing so everyone got the right burger. The meat was good. The burgers as a whole tastefully also good. Unfortunately, the burgers were cold, not lukewarm, but cold, and that must not be. We won't order again. Price performance is not right."

"Great food. Delicious starter, Thai soup and dessert. The service staff are very friendly and advise you on your selection and help perfectly... Towards the end of dinner it became very crowded and the service could no longer be kept up. Hence this “devaluation”. Meal type: Dinner Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 5"

"despite the mania for the inventiveness that overwhelms our ära, remains a place for a restaurant that can provide competent conservative high kitchen. this conservative taste seems to be the focus of bullerkotte, which brings together many of the characteristics of the current agricultural movement, without...explicitly identifying or boasting. bullerkotte could be described as trench stone for the first wave of German cuisine: to the earliest attempt to create a fine kitchen on basic German products and traditions. on the one hand, have the menu and the venue advertised. written in a curious idioom in which German and French chefs merge and intertwine, the menu of favourite German proteins celebrates like duck, ochse, huh and of course sausage, including blood sausage. overall, the dishes could be described as a little fleshy a ochsenfilet came to an example somewhat mysteriously from a whole, in-the-shell prawn, as if a freak tidal wave had unexpectedly fed meerese fruits into the butcher shop. in the 1990s, this multi-storey layering of different flesh reached its acme - and it still produces the same unfortunate result to awaken an initial feeling of wonder, followed by a feeling that a bowl is somewhat overloaded. many of the inventions of the cook prove a high degree of creativity. for example, the evening meal opens with a wonderful, memorable gurkenbrei, which instead of butter gives a lukedable sweet and criminal flavor to perfectly upgraded baguette slices. the bloodworst appetizer has a filling of the above mentioned protein pudding artfully rolled into puff bakery and accompanied by a micro-green salad, all to lift effect. also kreatiw, although somewhat less successful is the entenbrust and spaghettini combination, in which three perfectly made and exquisitely seasoned discs lawine their way down a swirl of pasta, all together with a tangy cheese tulle. probably it would have been more effective to integrate the duck and the pasta more effectively -- through the creation of a deen-stuffed ravioli- but the merit of the taste could not be contested. as already mentioned, the main courses in bullerkotte, modern tastes, somewhat balanced, with a large weight, giving the protein and somewhat perfunctory attention to the leads. both the ochsensteak and the local hun appeared on an este of mixed vegetables in a dark brown sauce that enjoyed a little too much soy sauce or similar flavor. Although the nice even spot-on and perfectly poached, they added nothing that is unforgettable for the overall composition. the chicken main course had been identified as a Tandoori recipe, but its mild and hearty European taste profile did not conjure any idea of india, while the aforementioned soy-flameed sauce diners led to ask if South and North Asia had been confused. bullerkotte offers a beautiful environment in the farms outside the industrial ruhrtal. the restaurant takes what seems to be a former building. interior decoration is back straight from the elegant 1990s. everything is tasteful, everything is deluxe- but everything is also beige. a whole house creates a cheerful ambiente, although the clientele could be characterized more than as a sturdy rural genie than as a city-slicker. bullerkotte ensures a pleasant country night. it would be wonderful to cook some of his admirable talents to a bit of updating both menu and envrionment, but in general the bullerkotte experience is a pleasant."

"Loved it! Will return! Great concept for this place so I hope the team at Vesttafel can keep it up! The change at Vesttafel really made a very noticeable change. I grew up in Recklinghausen, live in the US and return every now and then. Typically I ignored the Vesttafel but now it will be part of my coming home visits. We (party of 4) had dinner under the stars next to the very nice Engel fountain very special atmosphere! They have themed menus every week, and it was a hit. The Schnitzel as well. One of the best things was the (free) amuse Bouche, the carrot ginger soup. Fantastic! Excellent and attentive service well done!! As I said we will be back!"
