This cafe was full but we were seated immediately. Our server was friendly and efficient. Though my German is not great, the server was patient and we met in the middle as he spoke some English. I had the chicken schnitzel with French fries and crème brûlée for dessert! I enjoyed it and will return if I'm back in Trier!

They may be potato in name but don't miss out on their meats. The steak with garlic butter is tender and cooked to perfection. The Leberkaese and Wurst is also excellent. Then the potato dishes seem to go on and on. There are so many items it may be difficult to make a decision. The staff is always happy to assist with suggestions. There may be tourists here but also many local people since good food is good food no matter where you are from. Dieser Ort ist für mich zu einer Art Tradition geworden. Jedes Mal, wenn ich Trier besuche, ist das erste Abendessen in der Stadt immer in der Kartoffel-Kiste. Sie enttäuschen nie. Sie mögen dem Namen nach Kartoffel sein, aber verpassen Sie nicht ihr Fleisch. Das Steak mit Knoblauchbutter ist zart und perfekt gegart. Der Leberkaese und Wurst ist auch ausgezeichnet. Dann scheinen die Kartoffelgerichte immer weiter zu gehen. Es gibt so viele Dinge, dass es schwierig sein kann, eine Entscheidung zu treffen. Die Mitarbeiter helfen Ihnen gerne mit Vorschlägen weiter. Es kann hier Touristen geben, aber auch viele Einheimische, denn gutes Essen ist gutes Essen, egal woher man kommt.

I took the tourist train through Trier and I saw this as we tooled around and I had to come back as…read moresoon as I got off that train! To my delight, they were able to seat me right away on their gorgeous outdoor patio. I was a little confused at first but soon realized that you actually go inside to place your order and then they bring the food out to you. I ordered a glass of white wine and the shrimp salad. The wine was delicious and perfectly complimented the salad. The salad was good. It was a little small so I wish I had ordered something else because it didn't satisfy my hunger but it was super tasty! I loved the gorgeous views provided on the patio. Everything was just so nice. The staff were great. I will definitely come back next time I'm in Trier!

Stopped by for lunch while touring Trier. Got a Pilsner and Jagerschnitzel with spätzle…read more Excellent! The schnitzel, while served as two pieces versus one giant piece, was decently (but not perfectly) executed. Crispy, somewhat tender meat (could have been more tender) and a very flavorful sauce with fresh mushrooms. The spätzle was soft and buttery. Almost melted in my mouth. Can't go wrong with a nice Pilsner to wash it all down.

It…read moreprovides tasty freshly cooked meals to Order at reasonable prices.It is very popular with the Local Community where a warm welcome is extended to all who enter its doors. It is an ideal type Restaurant for Sports Personnel to celebrate after a Match. Should any British Rugby Clubs be touring the Area we advise you to call at Hoffmanns as if there should be any smokers in the Party you will not have to go outside the Restaurant as smoking is allowed in German Pubs when there are only family members working in them. I have personally asked whether British Sports Clubs would be welcome to call and the reply was as long as they can order a glass of beer in German that this will be the only requirement which is stated below. Ein Grosses Bier , this means one large beer!!!!! I know that Rugby playing lads usually enjoy liquid refreshment at any time of the day.. At any time that there are customers at the bar I am sure that Herr Hoffmann will be delighted to serve you. This is not a spit and sawdust Establishment and can honestly say that Hygiene is a top priority..In confirmation of this Herr Hoffmann would not serve me with another beer using the same glass.

A very small wine bar with limited but excellent food options. Large parties were lined up at least…read more30 minutes before opening. We stopped by at opening (18H) and asked if we could make a reservation for a bit later as we wanted to explore the city a bit more. The owner with limited English told us no reservations, just come back. We did just that an hour later and he was able to seat the two of us. The owner suggested a great Riesling. We struggled a bit with the menu in German since the options variety boards and not the typical entrees we had gotten used to so the owner sent out the cook to help us. We ordered a cheese variety plate and a plate with some meat varieties, cheese, and bread. Both included a few pickles and tomatoes. They were exactly the type of light fare we were looking for that night and what we expected at a wine bar. The restaurant was loaded with antique character and fit the image of what you would want a hidden gem winestub in an old city like Cochem to look and feel like. The same larger groups we saw waiting for the opening were still enjoying their meals and more wine which was easy to understand. We started with a glass each, but enjoyed it so much we got a bottle. Highly recommend Alte Gutsschanke!
