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.

As we were invited, we went to Elisenbrunnen to have lunch! It looks very nice and fancy inside…read morewith a separate room for the cafe with a wall full of books! 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!

I ordered a traditional meal with schnitzel, sauerkraut, and potatoes and it was fresh and delicious. I'd love to go back and highly recommend it!

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. I would probably had give 5 stars if I could enjoy some more plates. The service is ok, the personnel is ok, the owner is a cool man No credit cards accepted!! Only cash! Nice place!

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.
