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.

I had a great zigeuner schnitzel with bratkartofflen while my wife had a cheese burger. The schnitzel and bratkartofflen were excellent as always. The burger's sauce (Knoblauch) was good but the burger itself was lacking seasoning.
