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!

Not bad, but you better arrive here before 20:30 if you like to eat from the menu. We arrived…read morealmost one hour before the kitchen was closing and the menu choice was very limited. We wanted to eat Schintzel but the kitchen was already closing :((. The place is nice and got some history, pictures from the past are hanging all over the restaurant.

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.

As you enter the building, you see dark wood and German style booths. Our waiter was very attentive and gave us tablets that had the menu on them. The items were in German, French and English.

We were pleased with this restaurant and will return for another meal.

We all thought our dishes were very good and were more than satisfied with the portions. Service was good. I'd go back.

I had the best experience, needless to say, which makes me want to go back again. I surely would like to take my family and friends here and I would highly recommend it to the general public.
