The audience is made up of welfare recipients, the middlebrow, businessmen and academics, everything you can imagine. A real old school Pub with really good and simple plain and cologne fare. Special offers are the seasonal fresh blue mussel and the really good Holsteiner Schnitzel. That is escalope in viennese stile, toped with roasted onions and 2 fried eggs on top, thereto pommes frites and salad. For snack I can offer to you the Mett-Hälfte, that is a half bred roll with pork hash and onions, and the Halfe Hahn, a rye bred roll with old gouda cheese and butter. Clear and brief: Really nice place here!

We were staying at an Airbnb down the block and stopped by on a warm spring night and sat on the…read morepatio. This is a neighborhood place. The servers and, I believe, the owners seemed to know everyone. We speak only rudimentary German and only one young woman spoke a bit of English. But we were still treated great. We muddled through the menu with what we knew and some guesses and a bit of help with Google translator. My wife went with the white asparagus risotto while I ordered one of the specials which we paired with a bottle of Riesling. Now to be fair I knew I was ordering a meat per the German word "fleisch". But I didn't recognize the type. Well "sülzfleisch" it turns out was a type of headcheese, home made, with a sauce on the side and baked potatoes. I was surprised but dug in. Both dishes were excellent! Great food and relaxed atmosphere. Worth stopping by.

I like this place. Loud, noisy, good drinks. Really good White Russian too…read more Missing one star because getting a drink can take AGES. Despite there being lots of staff. They can't always seem to handle big crowds and tend to purposefully ignore people when the going gets tough. Other than that, not bad.

Oh, Maya. Why must you be so smoky inside? Haven't your owners realized that smoking is best done…read moreto raw meat, not to the lungs of its patrons? *sigh* The 'Mexican' food at Maya is the best in Bonn, outside of my kitchen. But I cook Tex-Mex, so maybe that doesn't count... but I digress. I must admit that I've only eaten at Maya once, due to the aforementioned smokiness. I just have a serious problem with not being able to taste my food for the smell of smoke in the air. All things considered, the meal I had at Maya was one of the better ones I've had in the area. After a starter of the typical Poco Loco-variety tortilla chips and questionably "homemade" dips, I had the Palenque enchiladas with ground beef, avocado, and salsa. The plate came with a side of rice, beans and a small salad. The ground beef had pleasant, although not spicy, flavors, and the avocado was more guacamole than avocado strips, which is what I expected from the description. The rice and beans were only slightly seasoned, but were an acceptable complement to the main part of the dish. Bear in mind that my idea of good Mexican involves a generous portion of chiles (preferably poblanos, jalapenos and/or chipotles) and cumin, so I was a bit underwhelmed by my meal at Maya. However, if the smoke and lingering stale smokiness would go away, I would definitely be back to try more of the menu.
