Café Ludwig

We booked the very gorgeous Cafe Ludwig for a 60th birthday party, and I can honestly say it was the best decision we ever made. People kept saying to me at the party: what an amazing place - well done for organising such a great event. I did nothing: it was the professional and kind management and staff at this wonderful restaurant that did it all.

From the offset, Café Ludwig was super attentive and highly organised. Following my first email contact, I got a call back from Leon the manager within a day. He put together a rough plan of how the evening could look with menu options, suggestions on how the live band could be accommodated, and basically he showed me how we could get this event done with zero stress but maximum fun. I really appreciated his professionalism, all-round experience – also in technical matters - and super positive outlook. I felt like I was in the best hands.

On the day of the party, we had plenty of time to set up and decorate the beautiful rooms in advance. There was a gorgeous prosecco, wine and beer reception bar inside the door and three extremely nice and considerate staff to support us for the night. And it really did feel like support. I never had to approach anyone. Those three young people came to me with gentle reminders about timing, when the buffet should be set up, when to bring out the cake or whatever else needed to be done to ensure a smooth-running function. This was service at its best.

The food was top notch. I am sorry I didn’t get to thank the cook before he left for the evening but I was able to ensure my thanks via his colleagues.

The café is perfect for these sorts of occasions. It is modern, spacious and can be reorganised flexibly. The staff were able to clear furniture after the food buffet to create a dance floor downstairs. For those who wanted to chat quietly, they could go upstairs but still look out onto the dance floor from up there, enjoying the vibe from the party down below and staying part of the event.

A big merci to Leon and his team. Many thanks to my three helpers on the night for cutting the cake, magnificently managing the bar, taking care of guests needs and being all-round top people.

Our experience with Café Ludwig was one of a kind – we know that and our guests on the night know that too and they appreciated it greatly. We can highly recommend Café Ludwig if you want a seamlessly organised and special party or event experience. Thank you!
