Meilibach in Horgen

Everything perfect - price performance sensational - service very attentive - would be happy to come back

Great place for cheap and good food right on the lake. Above all, the crispy snacks or the fisherman's basket are recommended. Various meat dishes and always fresh salads with homemade salad dressing. Beautiful terrace with a view where you can enjoy the homemade sorbets. Plenty of parking spaces across the street.

Hearty cuisine, fish dishes, fast service and the staff is very open. Reservations are generally not possible. When it's full, it's full. But since the terrace is right on the lake (with its own jetty, see photo) it's worth a try

Very nice terrace at the shore of Lake Zurich. Good food at a very reasonable price. Can get busy during a sunny lunchtime as limited service capacity is available.

Simple restaurant, very nicely located. Crispy fish with salad, always delicious. Service was friendly and prompt despite the large number of guests. Good price-performance ratio.

Had food poisoning after dinner and spent the whole night on the toilet! Pasta is days old. Service was a disaster, waiting for over an hour for the food and the ambience was also full of spider webs with animals in the lamps next to the tables (very appetizing...) and not very clean otherwise! In addition to everything, you still smell of frying oil even if you ate outside.

Nice food, lovely location on the edge of the lake. Service slow

Terrible experience. Although the restaurant is very well located, the customer service leaves a lot to be desired. Especially what happens in the children's playground next to the restaurant: the waiters often come out to smoke. I caught one of them throwing his cigarette butt into the lake! The same lake where I went swimming with my family before visiting the restaurant. The same lake that houses some of the fish sold in the restaurant! There are two trash cans in the playground! When I asked the waiter about it, he made a dismissive gesture with his hand (I think he doesn't speak German very well) and walked into the restaurant without further explanation. I spoke to the manager (owner?) about it. I hope he took action. It is a public park and everyone is responsible for keeping it clean. But above all, those who benefit financially from this place being well maintained are responsible...

After a wait of over 1 hour and 20 minutes for our food and an initial lack of attention from the staff, we finally decided to leave. The entire experience was one of inconvenience and frustration. The wait of over an hour for our food was unreasonably long. I fully understand that there can sometimes be delays, but this length of time was unacceptable and there was no adequate explanation or excuse for it. The service was also not satisfactory. We were almost ignored for the first 25 minutes of our stay and when we finally managed to attract attention, we were barely noticed. Despite this negative experience, I would like to highlight that at least one employee apologized for the inappropriate and impossible behavior and offered us the drinks as compensation. However, it was frustrating to observe that even though the restaurant was virtually empty at the start, we still weren't served. What was even more annoying was that customers who came after us were given priority and received their orders faster, even though they ordered the same daily special as us. Overall, this experience was extremely disappointing. As a paying customer, I expect appropriate service and respect. Unfortunately, these expectations were not met in this restaurant. For this reason I cannot recommend the restaurant and personally will not eat there again.

Finally a normal restaurant by the lake that hasn't (yet) been bought by "the ones".... . The service is quick and friendly, the food is delicious and the location is spectacular.

Great view right on the lake, nice service. But the food is just not good. If I were to get something like that while passing through a motorway service station at 2 a.m., it would be just OK. It's a shame because the place is really beautiful.

TOP location with moderate prices. Classic Lake Zurich ambience that is unfortunately hard to find today. I really appreciate and respect family businesses like this, even if everything isn't always perfect. And fortunately not a boring 0815 Peclard or similar chain operation.

Great fish crispy and the staff is also very friendly.

Beautifully located restaurant on Lake Zurich. A feeling like being on vacation. Very good food and a great, friendly host family, the Gisler-Kägi.

This was my third time in the Seerestaurant. The service person should be replaced immediately! The waitress has no decency and is disrespectful. The terrace should be renovated. I myself am a trained restoration specialist and have rarely experienced anything so bad! The restaurant would have a top location but unfortunately the potential is implemented incorrectly and is used incorrectly, which is a shame.

Very unfriendly staff. Once and never again!

Restaurant is ok. Location great, service quite strange and slow. Parking situation ridiculous. Bathers pay CHF 30 for a day ticket, CHF 15 for a half-day ticket. We had eaten in the restaurant for Fr. 50 and then had to pay an extra Fr. 15 to be able to stay on the PP. I would understand that at peak times, but it was 2 p.m. in the afternoon and the restaurant and parking lot were practically empty. I don't understand that. We left and won't be coming back.

Meilibach is beautifully located on the lake. Under the shady plane trees you can look at the calmly rippling lake and the opposite bank and let the end of the day come to an end. The restaurant itself offers a balanced menu at very reasonable prices. It is important to take into account here that Meilibach cannot and does not want to strive for star cuisine. Neither the infrastructure nor the limited staff allow such capers. The salads are fresh and the fish is perhaps baked a little too long, but is still tasty. The burgers are also quite impressive. Meilibach is perfect when the ambience and warmth of the hosts are more important than just the food.

Good daily fish dishes, quiet restaurant with a nice view of the lake.

Terrace top, service flop, ice cream doesn't taste good, way too sweet.

Waited 55 minutes for the order (4 day menu) and didn't receive it, all with two small children! One staff member ran themselves to death while two people stood around comfortably. Disorganized, chaotic, unfriendly and definitely, never again...!

Little insider tip, everything fits together very well at the lake. With children's playground

Absolutely TOP location on Lake Zurich with panoramic views right on the lake. Staff on hand, also available for a funny chat. Crispy fish with fresh salads is a hit. Apparently it's been here since 1969!

When the weather is nice, outdoor space is perfect: cozy and not fancy. The food is down-to-earth and the fish nibbles are always very good

Very nice food and service as always good 👍

Rude service and absolutely not edible!

Very nice location, right on the lake, friendly service. Good bourgeois cuisine, is always very full.

Terrible service. Didn't care to serve customers at all. Asked 3 times to order - then we left. In urgent need of a new managment!

Friendly hosts/service, good value for money, good cuisine and a large garden with trees and a view of the lake

Very nice garden restaurant right on the lake.

Good very inexpensive lunch Big portion Nice courteous service

Nice atmosphere in the shade under the trees right on the lake.

I went to the Meilibach Restaurant with my long-time colleague. Unfortunately we had to wait repeatedly for the conditions. After a while we were able to order our food. After another eternity we received our food. The food was not edible as you can see from the picture. The price-performance ratio is not justified. The toilets are reminiscent of a difficult battle against the food from the Meilibach restaurant. The restaurant has enough parking spaces, which are closely monitored. The park staff is sloppy and is very tense. I wish everyone the best of luck who wants to do this.

Pleasant place to stay. Gutenberg food at reasonable prices. Nice service.

Location right on the lake, fine fish dishes

Food was ok, reasonable price, but service was quite bad. Very rude waitress told my daughter to be quiet because she was calculating our bill, then when my partner asked my other daughter something, she told him to stop talking too, as she needs to concentrate. Then started arguing with us because we said that was rude. Quite disappointing.

Perfect location. Super cozy pub by the lake - actually.... But unfortunately the quality of the knowledge has declined massively. Selling coarsely cut, flavorless tomatoes with the cheapest pizza mozzarella in a watery sauce as caprese is almost cheeky. The basil advertised on the menu could not be found. The bread served with the salad (only after repeated requests) had obviously been sliced ​​for a long time... potato salad and the tartar sauce were unfortunately only convenience products. Crispy fish and fries were OK, but nothing more. A pity!

Very nice seat. Good ice cream. The food is ok. No more and no less. However, the prices are exorbitant for the quality and small portions. The service is always super stressful and the slightly older lady is totally unfriendly and impatient. Terrible. Don't let such people come into contact with customers!!

A somewhat outdated restaurant including a terrace. It's a nice place by the lake and the fish menus are tasty, but everything around it makes a shabby impression

Great prices for this location and delicious crispy fish. Also attractive for children with the playground.

Nice location and view with okay drinks and food

Terrible! Not a single real menu. Lots of fried snacks with salad. (Difficult with gluten intolerance) My mum had the mixed salad, everything was from a can including the sauce from the Lidel. I took a cold plate. What I got was a regular plate of cold cuts, 4 strips of the same cheese and a sliced ​​pickle that had the consistency of vegan gummy bears. Complete failure! Better go to the snack stand at the ferry or the Seegüetli meadow!

Beautiful garden pub in a wonderful location!

Very beautiful terrace right by the lake

Always very nice and friendly service

I invited my business colleague and hope he forgives me. Location very nice but food catastrophic. Swiss sausage and cheese salad and ordered caprese. Servelat is not known in this house, that's why Lyonnaise was served. Done worse than a forest fire. When we finally had to pay (it wasn't worth a cent) the waiter (probably the boss) wasn't interested in the half-full plates. Conclusion: From 10 p.m. my toilet was occupied until 5 a.m. in the morning. No more

Mega fine food. The waitress lacked a bit of motivation

Restaurant right on the lake. Great view. Lots of parking spaces. Large terrace. Good meat and fish dishes. Unfortunately no vegetarian dishes. Public playground and stone beach right next to the restaurant

Great location...but the food and service is unfortunately inedible, which is a real shame. It's unbelievable that you can even offer food like this.

We liked the good food and friendly service. Highly recommended. Very nice location on Lake Zurich on the way from Horgen to the Au peninsula

Winter break until March 11, 2022 - you could mention this online!

Unfortunately closed from now until March 20022

Super simple, really nice, thank you.

Below average food, miserable staff! Never again! We had a bad experience. The food came after about 30 minutes - understandable for a small kitchen. But the food was lukewarm and didn't even come at the same time - our daughter had to wait another 5 minutes for her schnitzel. The burger was of very poor quality, dry and cold – cheap fast food quality for 25 CHF… ... and by the way, you are not allowed to switch to a better table, the possible owner couldn't give the reasons. It's a shame for the location - it's ruined by the very unfriendly staff.

A good restaurant with a great view right on the lake. Everything was OK.

nice place if you want to wait patiently for your order; This is rewarded with waiting times of 45 minutes and a disgruntled serving

You can eat well here, nice view of Lake Zurich, nice service

Food was good as always. Service too. Unfortunately we had to wait a moderately long time to eat

very nice, small, simple but wonderful and so beautiful by the lake

Very nice view and fine ice cream

Gives a holiday feeling, located directly on the lake, good and inexpensive food, friendly service.

Nice view, nice service, price performance top

Just a normal restaurant with no frills. You feel comfortable and welcome. Dedicated friendly staff. Great location right on the lake! Price/performance is right Fish sweets and ice cream delicious 😋 Always worth a trip.

Cozy, nice atmosphere by the lake. Good fish and fresh chips. The service was friendly and the food was prepared quickly.

Like many other previous reviewers, I also noticed the unfriendliness of the staff, especially the boss. Above all, the needs of the children are not taken into account. It's a shame about the beautiful playground at the restaurant... The Corona measures are implemented very poorly, the landlady serves without a mask.

Wie schon viele anderen Vor-Bewerter*innen ist auch mir die Unfreundlichkeit des Personals, insb. der Chefin aufgefallen. Vor allem den Bedürfnissen der Kinder wird keine Rechnung getragen. Schade um den schönen Spielplatz beim Restaurant... Die Corona-Massnahmen werden sehr schlecht umgesetzt, die Wirtin bedient ohne Maske.

Das Meilibach macht alles richtig - das Essen ist super, das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis stimmt, fantastische Lage und das Personal macht einen guten Job! Besonders den Service-Angestellten im Aussenbereich finden wir immer sehr sympathisch. Ich komme immer wieder sehr gerne! Eine gute Abwechslung zu den anderen Schickimicki-Restaurants am Zürichsee.

Very nice place on Lake Zurich, the food always tastes very good and at very moderate prices.

Sehr schönes Terrasse am See! Es gibt ein Spielplatz gleich gegenüber auch, und ein schönes Strand im Sommer zu schwimmen. Der Restaurant ist ganz gut - mehr Richtung fritiert Fisch und Pommes. Aber die haben auch Salat Teller die sehr gut sind. Muss man manchmal lang warten vor dass es kommt, aber die View ist super von dort!

We've been visiting this great little shore restaurant now the whole summer (weather permitting) and its just nice, friendly, simple but good food. Very much inline with COVID regulations. For me this is just a really nice place to go and just relax with some nice food.

Es ist ein sehr gutes Restaurant, freundliche Bedienung, freue mich wenn es wenn es wieder aufgeht 😀

Ferien bis Frühling zum Trinken okay ansonsten ???

(Traducido por Google) No más... Esperamos unos minutos en el restaurante por el servicio. Cuando les pregunté amablemente si podíamos pedir algo, se vieron atacados y nos regañaron airadamente. Lo que realmente pensamos y en general, simplemente para sentarnos en algún lugar, etc. Ya hemos esperado unos minutos antes para preguntarle a la camarera por las mesas. Nunca he experimentado un enfoque atrevido y amateur con los clientes en ningún restaurante, independientemente de la categoría de precios. Lo que dije no fue solo descarado, fue extremadamente irrespetuoso. Ni siquiera hicimos preguntas exigentes, simplemente teníamos poco tiempo y solo queríamos tomar una copa. Inmediatamente salimos del restaurante. Travieso y sin modales. Ni siquiera hablaría con un amigo así. (Original) Nie mehr... Wir haben im Restaurant einige Minuten auf die Bedienung gewartet. Als ich diese freundlich darauf ansprach, ob wir etwas bestellen können, fand diese sich gleich angegriffen und schimpfte uns wütend an. Was uns eigentlich einfalle und überhaupt, uns einfach irgendwo hinzusetzen usw. Dabei haben wir bereits vorher einige Minuten gewartet um die Kellnerin bezüglich den Tischen zu fragen. Einen darartig amateurhaften Umgang mit dem Kunden, habe ich noch in keinem Restaurant - egal welcher Preiskategorie - erlebt. Das Gesagte, war nicht einfach nur frech, sondern äusserst respektlos. Dabei, haben wir nicht einmal fordernd gefragt, sondern schlicht etwas wenig Zeit und wollten nur kurz etwas trinken. Darauf verliessen wir das Lokal umgehend. Frech und keine Umgangsformen. So würde ich nicht mal mit einem Bekannten sprechen.

(Traducido por Google) Buena relación calidad-precio, espera un poco larga. (Original) Gutes Preis Leistungsverhältnis, etwas lange Wartezeit.

(Traducido por Google) Tiempos de espera muy largos que se pueden utilizar con sensatez para escribir reseñas. El servicio es muy estresado y antipático. No podemos calificar la comida, ya que todavía estamos esperando ..... (Original) Sehr lange Wartezeiten die man aber sinnvoll nützen kann um Bewertungen zu schreiben. Bedienung ist sehr gestresst und unfreundlich. Das Essen können wir nicht bewerten, da wir ja immer noch am warten sind .....

(Traducido por Google) Excelente (Original) Super

(Traducido por Google) La comida fue excelente y la noche fue perfecta. (Original) Das essen war super der Abend war perfekt.

Nach 35 Minuten ohne Beachtung, durstig weiter gezogen. Inkompetentes, ineffizientes personal. Eine andere Gruppe wurde von der Bedienung noch unfreundlich behandelt, weil diese sie wegen den unendliche Wartezeiten angesprochen haben

(Traducido por Google) No más..... Increíble que este restaurante siga abierto. Pedimos Spaghetti Napoli y dos tés helados, el té helado sugirió cómo podrían ser los espaguetis ... 😅 Después de una larga espera llegó la comida. Nunca comí tan mal como allí en mi vida. El personal increíblemente antipático y completamente cuestionable ..... (Original) Nie mehr..... Unglaublich das dieses Restaurant noch geöffnet ist. Wir haben Spaghetti Napoli bestellt und zwei Eistee, der Eistee liess vermuten wie die Spaghetti sein könnten.... 😅 nach langer Wartezeit kam das Essen. in meinem Leben noch nie so schlecht gegessen wie dort. Das Personal unglaublich Unfreundlich und völlig fragwürdig.....

(Traducido por Google) Embarcadero, suficientes plazas de aparcamiento. Las patatas fritas de pescado en la masa de cerveza eran frescas y muy sabrosas. (Original) Bootssteg, genügend Autoparkplätze. Die Fischknusperli im Bierteig waren frisch und sehr gut gewürzt.

(Traducido por Google) Acogedor restaurante junto al lago. ¡Sensación de vacaciones! Buena comida, especialidades de pescado, buen servicio. Helados caseros, ¿qué más se puede pedir? Desde hace muchos años un lugar donde nos gusta hacer una parada. (Original) Gemütliches Restaurant direkt am See. Ferienfeeling! Feines Essen, Fischspezialitäten, nette Bedienung. Selbstgemachte Glacé, was will man mehr. Seit vielen Jahren ein Ort wo wir gerne einkehren.

(Traducido por Google) Fue genial. No encuentro las palabras. (Original) War super. Finde keine Worte.

(Traducido por Google) Los niños pequeños no quieren correr (Original) Wollen das klein kinder nicht laufen

(Traducido por Google) Gente agradable y buena comida 👍 (Original) Nette Leute und gutes Essen 👍

Ziemlich unfreundlich und ziemlich schlecht. Wir waren zu Besuch über Mittag. Die Bedienung war eher unfreundlich und das Essen war nicht das tollste. Schade eigentlich weil die Location eine schöne war. Wieder einmal ein Beweises dass Schweizer Gastro einfach unbrauchbar ist.

(Traducido por Google) De buen humor para encontrar un restaurante justo en el lago, nos sentamos en una mesa mitad al sol, mitad a la sombra ... como rápidamente se puso demasiado caliente para nosotros, nos trasladamos a la siguiente mesa a la sombra en el restaurante todavía vacío Inmediatamente la jefa estaba allí y se quejaba de que ahora tenía que desinfectar la otra mesa y sillas ... como pensamos en la hospitalidad como algo diferente y el ambiente era muy antipático, nos fuimos del restaurante. Que pena ... . (Original) Mit guter Laune ein Restaurant direkt am See zu finden haben wir uns an einen Tisch halb an der Sonne halb im Schatten hingesetzt....da es uns da schnell zu warm wurde haben wir uns im noch leeren Restaurant an den nächsten Tisch an den Schatten gesetzt.Sofort war die Chefin da und hat sich beklagt dass sie nun den anderen Tisch und die Stühle desinfizieren müsse....da wir uns unter Gastfreundschaft etwas anderes vorstellen und die Atmosphäre sehr unfreundlich war haben wir das Restaurant verlassen.Schade....

Konnten via Take Away eine grosse Portionen Pommes frites (8.50) bestellen. Waren frisch und für den Preis okay. Für den kleinen Hunger am See war es für uns mehr als genug. Der Service war nett. Die Einrichtung scheint etwas älter und abgenutzter zu sein, wie in einer typischen Beiz. Dennoch scheint das Restautant amspäteren Abend gut besucht zu sein.

(Traducido por Google) La camarera te trata como a un leproso. Quiere protegerse del COVID-19 con una máscara y tirar el menú sobre la mesa. El dinero en efectivo, incluida la propina, se retira sin guantes :-D Sin embargo, la comida estuvo estupenda. (Original) Serviertochter behandelt einen, wie Aussätzige. Sie will sich mit Maske und Wurf der Speisekarte auf den Tisch vor COVID-19 schützen. Das Bargeld inkl. Trinkgeld nimmt sie dann aber gern ohne Handschuhe :-D Das Essen war jedoch tiptop.

(Traducido por Google) Ambiente agradable, agradable, marítimo y buena comida. Un restaurante muy bonito y clásico del lago de Zúrich. Saludos de Coco (Original) Freundlich, sympathisch, maritime Atmosphäre und gutes Essen. Ein richtig schönes, klassisches Zürichsee Restaurant. Grüsse von Coco

(Traducido por Google) Pasó el domingo 1:40 pm y nos recibieron calurosamente aunque solo queríamos una bebida. Un servicio amable y un buen vino blanco (vino blanco Schorle sour) definitivamente volverán (Original) sind am So. 13:40 Uhr vorbei und wurden herzlich wilkommen geheissen obwohl wir nur etwas Trinken wolten. Freundliche Bedienung und ein feiner gespritzten Weisswein (Weisswein Schorle sauer) kommen sicher wieder

(Traducido por Google) Camarera muy antipática en el restaurante justo en el lago. Extremadamente grosero e irrespetuoso, trae muy mal humor. No es así como se debe atender a los clientes. ¡Así que no recomendaría este restaurante a nadie! (Original) Sehr unfreundliche Kellnerin beim Restaurant direkt am See. Extrem unhöflich und respektlos, bringt richtig schlechte Stimmung. So sollten keine Kunden bedient werden. Deshalb würde ich dieses Restaurant nicht weiterempfehlen!

(Traducido por Google) En general, este restaurante es bueno. Desafortunadamente, sin embargo, el servicio es muy pobre, arrogante e insolente. Esta información solo sirve como advertencia. (Original) Generell gesag ist dieses Restaurant Gut. Leider jedoch ist die Bedienung sehr mangelhaft, Arrogant und Unverschähmt . Diese Info dient nur als Vorwarnung.

(Traducido por Google) Hermoso lugar, podrías hacer mucho más de él. (Original) Wunderschöner Ort, man könnte viel mehr daraus machen

(Traducido por Google) Súper lindo lugar? Prospecta un sueño 🥂 Personal muy agradable simplemente brillante? Top de comida 👍🏻 Muchas gracias por seguir así 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀 (Original) Super schöne Ort 👍🏻 Aussicht ein Traum 🥂 Sehr nettes Personal einfach genial 🍀 Essen Top 👍🏻 Danke vielmals ,dass es euch gibt weiter so 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀

(Traducido por Google) Fischknuschperli para recomendar (Original) Fischknuschperli zu empfehlen

(Traducido por Google) Atención, el personal abusó verbalmente de 4 invitados durante minutos frente a todos, se sentaron accidentalmente en la mesa equivocada. ¡¡Nunca más!! (Original) Achtung, Personal beschimpfte 4 Gäste minutenlang lautstark vor allen, man hatte sich versehentlich an den falschen Tisch gesetzt. Nie wieder!!

(Traducido por Google) Como siempre, muy buena comida y buen servicio. Vista superior !!! (Original) Wie immer, sehr gutes Essen und guter Service. Top Aussicht!!!

I read the previous reviews and I was shocked. Me and my husband have just moved from Geneva to Horgen and we have only encountered nice services (4 times in a row). The food is more than ok and I really liked the service. I have never experienced rude service, actually the opposite.

(Traducido por Google) También abre los lunes con una hermosa terraza con sombra justo en el lago. Súper sabrosas papas fritas! (Original) Hat auch Montags offen mit schöner, schattenreicher Terasse direkt am See. Super leckere Pommes!

(Traducido por Google) Sencillo pero buen restaurante justo en el lago. Zona de juegos al lado de. No es elegante en el lago. Precios bien por justo en el lago (Original) Einfaches aber gutes Restaurant direkt am See. Spielplatz neben an. Kein schickimicki am See. Preise OK für direkt am See
