If you don't speak German (I don't) be sure to ask for the menu printed in English. The staff was very helpful and the food was good. It's a little upscale, and so caters to an older crowd, and not so much the Aachen students. So if you want to get away from the students, this is a good place to go. Also very near the center of town, so easy to grab a bite to eat and then walk around the shops and church.

I ordered a typical Aachener meal, which was ok. Unfortunately i forgot the name of the dish, but I think you can find it everywhere in Aachen. My friend ordered a Rumpsteak which looked good but was small for him. We had also a espresso after lunch which was really good! Please consider that this restaurant has higher prices, as it is located in the city center and of it's fame. It is a good place to go, but I believe you can find plenty of such good locations in Aachen with lower prices!

It is family run with one brother in the kitchen overseeing things and the other dispensing beer and other drinks at the bar like an octopus juggling clams. On the weekends the place is carefully organized chaos with locals three deep at the bar either drinking as an end goal or drinking while waiting for a table. In fact, on a recent Friday night I watched the restaurant equivalent of the old circus clown car, but in this case the patrons kept coming in and when you thought the place would be completely clogged with humanity another group of six hearty lads with a thirst would squeeze themselves through the door and into the scrum at the bar--a wonder to behold. The beer is fresh and the place is the very definition of "Gemütlichkeit", welcoming, cozy and high spirited. The interior of this old building is suggestive of everything historically German. Now as to the food, it is typical of the region, schnitzels, chicken, calf's liver, flammkuchen, steaks, etc. I normally get the schnitzel and they have both a version with cream and mushroom sauce and a creamed pepper sauce. Both are excellent and with the large mixed salad (really great) and the roasted potatoes, you need nothing else to keep you happy. With a glass of wine this came, on a recent visit, to around €23 all in and well worth it. Now, attention class and listen carefully, it is absolutely necessary to book a table at this extremely popular place. Those who don't, all visitors to Aachen (the locals know better) will leave very disappointed because they will be told by the hard working but frenetic waitstaff that they are full and that's it. It will no doubt seem abrupt but there is no time for explanations or being open to persuasion by the most charming tourist. If you follow this advice you will be rewarded by a very rich culinary and socially unique experience.

The potato dumplings were so soft I wanted to make them my pillow. Hahaha I ate the entire meal. I also had a München Weißbier to drink. The waitress brought me out a free starter of fresh bread with a flavored oil and olives. Both was tasty. The waitress, Julia, also gave extremely wonderful service. She was very attentive and even gave me a free map of Aachen as well as explained how to get to certain places. She also let me try some of the local Aachener Printen. She was so nice. The restaurant dates back to the 1600s. The decor felt like traditional german decor. The restaurant is several levels and has seating out front as well. Overall, I loved this place and would continue to return when I come to Aachen.

The schnitzel I ordered tasted terribly, so as the fries and the mushroom sauce (cheap supermarket frozen food). For €15, it felt like a total rip-off. Same with the traditional sausages that my girlfriend ordered. Also, the men's bathroom is literally one of the smallest bathrooms I've ever seen - if you're taller than 1,80m it is unlikely that you'll fit in. My advice: save your money and eat somewhere else if you want traditional, good quality food.

I like sitting in the 1st floor room with the windows, but last time I had dinner on the very top floor dining room and that was also nice. I believe that there is another dining area accessed from a different door with more modern decor and I'll likely eat in that area next time. My only tiny complaint is that the service can sometimes be slow (to very slow) and if you don't have time for a leisurely dinner then you sometimes need to hunt down the server.
