A friend and I saw the reviews in Yelp and thought we would give the place a try. We showed up at…read more7:30 on a Saturday evening without a reservation, but were welcomed and they found a spot to seat us. The manager/owner came over and greeted us and explained the differences between a German restraunt and an Austrian one. He suggested the Wiener schnitzel and we both ordered that. We walked us through their wine list and we took his recommendation on an Austrian white that was very good, paired well with the schnitzel and was reasonably priced. I visit Germany A couple of times a year and would say this was probably the best schnitzel I can remember. Fork tender and great flavor. Great alternative to the touristy hustle-and-bustle of the Altstadt area. Will visit them again on my next vIsit to Dusseldorf.

My in-laws made reservations for us a few weeks ago for our visit and both my wife and I loved…read moreeverything about this experience. This traditional Bavarian restaurant is located along a footpath by the Rhine so I highly recommend going for a walk either before dining in order to work up an appetite (and while there is still light) or afterwards to aid in digestion. With the beautiful homes lining the path and the many ships gliding by, you won't regret it! The entire menu looks great but we were there for one thing and one thing only: the roast goose with dumplings and blaukraut (red cabbage). (Check out my tip - this is a special offered only for the holiday season). This is a traditional family dish that we have had every year and I dare say this was better than the one prepared by my father-in-law. The goose was juicy and delectable and the skin was crispy and full of flavor. The brown gravy that was served for the table went perfectly with the dumplings and the blaukraut. There is a bread basket full of Bavarian pretzels and German breads served with delicious garlic quark (yogurt like) waiting for you at the table but don't fill up with this, the plates are substantial. This will definitely be on our list of restaurants to frequent whenever we are in Bonn.

Just perfect! If you are on the look out for home made austrian dishes with regionally sourced…read moreproducts of highest quality, Essers is the place to go! The service is uncomplicated and direct, it's almost not to call the chef de service "Iris!" The wines are upper class, usually austrian and german breed. The Essers does not have tablecloths - it does not need them and it simply explains the difference to the "Grubers", which is a one star austrian restaurant. I prefer the Essers - hopefully because I'm as uncomplicated as the restaurant and I rather go more often than just every month or so.
