Reviews Summary
Emma am See is praised for its stunning lake views and the unique Knipp dish, with many enjoying the cakes and ice cream. However, some diners have experienced extremely slow service, especially on busy days, and there are comments about food temperature and portion sizes.
"Very nice restaurant with a view of the lake. The menu had a lot of options, i chose the knipp (homemade) and it was very good. I saw many people ordering it.
I think their kitchen is opened until late in the afternoon.
The display of cakes was amazing, i wish i could have tried some!! Would definitely go back"

"One of the very best restaurants in Bremen. I had the chickpea curry, which was delicious.
The design and setting are really special, set around the lake in Bürgerpark.
This weekend, I experienced the best ever customer service I’ve had in my many trips to Bremen, from Yanisha. She made our meal memorable and utterly enjoyable."

"Unfortunately the service was extremely slow, we only went for coffee but we had to wait for about half an hour and it wasn't crowded. Nice atmosphere, worth a visit if you are in the park."
