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!

We had…read morejust descended from the Sesselbahn after the trip up and a bit of wandering at the top of the mountain, and found my mom here. Not a hiker and unwilling to risk missing the last ride down with us, Mom finished her ride and had a little extra time to kill, so she went to the first place she saw offering beer on a patio. When we disembarked from our tram, she waved to us from across the street and we happily made our way to join her. Upon walking up, we saw 5 or 6 locals enjoying some beer and chatting around what I can only assume was the Stammtisch. We were the only other people there. Soon a woman from the Stammtisch came over to take our order. She was friendly with a fabulous sense of humor and didn't speak a lick of English, so it was good Mom had practiced "ein Bier, bitte" a few times so she could order without me be being there to translate! We asked about wine and food, and she asked us what wines we like. I told her we like everything, so she told us to follow her inside, where she proceeded to hand us a menu to look over while she gave us samples of the local wines they serve. Turned out they were all tasty. My favorite was the Halbtrocken (also hers), but the Auslese was also quite light and refreshing. I got two of the Halbtrocken and one of the sweet for the three of us. As we continued to look over the menu, we settled on a pork schnitzel with peppercorn sauce & goulasch soup for Gary & me to share, and Käsebrot (buttered slices of rye with Butterkäse and Swiss cheese on top) for Mom. The kind lady told us her name is Monika and that if we needed anything else, then just let her know. Then she disappeared into the kitchen, along with one of the other fellas from the Stammtisch. Before we knew it, Monika was bringing out our meal, freshly prepared, and then settling back in with her pals to continue their conversation and beer. Aside from the home-cooked meals at my German family's house, this was by far my favorite meal this trip. It made it very clear where my maternal Grandma's family recipes were derived from... Yum!! As we left, Monika asked us to write to her when we returned to Texas and I promised we would, and now we have made yet another new friend... *Side Note* When we returned to our hotel and told the owner where we had eaten, he told us he usually sends guests/ tourists to the two restaurants across the street from Monika Mühlenschenke's place because her food is "simple". Then he said he prefers Monika's cooking more though (especially their steak with onions) and goes there most... I have to say that in this case the sheer simplicity is why it was so perfect! Prost!!

We wanted to try the local beer and sit inside so Peter's was a great option right off the market…read moresquare. We sat at a small table, it did feel like we were in an area primarily for tourists, but we are so it was fine. I had three small beers which were great, very refreshing. We also enjoyed a nice lunch, my sausage was good but the potatoes and cabbage were really the star of the show. So yummy! We did not get the local beer treatment here where they replace your beer when it's half empty, which was probably a good thing. I could have drank it all day.

I was in Germany and needed to have large beers, schnitzels, bratwursts and all other things…read morestereotypes of Germany. This place delivers on all of those fronts. Having already had brats just earlier in the evening, my friend pointed me to the long list of schnitzel options in the menu. I opted for the schnitzel cordon bleu because why not mix two cultures into one?! And with the factory a few kilometers down the road in Bitburg had to wash the meal down with a rather large glass of Bitburger beer. The beer was top notch. The meal was a bit overly salted including the fries that would've been fine without so much sodium. The flavor was ok but not the most memorable. It was kind of the equivalent to dining in any chain restaurant in America.
