Lujo on Baldeneysee
"Lujo Seecafé & Restaurant am Baldeneysee" is how the owners refer to their café and restaurant, which replaced the "Steg 3" restaurant in 2020. Lujo is located on the second floor of the Essen-Werdener Ruder-Club von 1896 e.V. and can be reached via a steel staircase. In addition to the dining room, it is the Baldeneysee terrace, which offers guests a box seat for sunsets in summer.
Varied menu
The menu is varied and offers soups, salads and starters as well as snacks to pick and dip. Main courses include fish and meat dishes as well as pasta dishes. Desserts and a selection of cakes round off the culinary offering at Lujo. "Let our recipes from the fresh Mediterranean cuisine take you on a culinary journey to the Mediterranean," is the credo of the Lujo owners.
Box seat for sunsets
In fact, it is advisable to reserve a table on the terrace on a nice summer's day if you really want to sit outside. The service remains friendly even when it gets crowded and is happy to fulfill special requests. Even if you just want a drink, you will be greeted and served in a friendly manner - that was our experience at Lujo.
Refreshing oasis
The location directly on the water, nestled in almost untouched nature, recommends the Lujo as a refreshing oasis in midsummer temperatures. For those who have something to celebrate, the operators offer buffets or plated meals by arrangement. Guests should have no problems climbing stairs, as this is the only way to reach the Lujo - as is well known on this side.
