Before we gave up we called the "Deidesheimer Stuben" to ask whether they would still be able to cook rumpsteak for us since we were told it is a delicacy in the Pfalz just a few hours earlier. Everything worked out and we went to this restaurant. When you walk in it has that nice old and "proper German" feel to it as all of the places we visited in this area. :-) Let's get to the main part - the food. Everything we tried was FANTASTIC! Whether it was the potato soup or the "Schnitzel with Spargel" (Schnitzel with Asparagus), it was all great food. I have to highlight my two favorites of that dinner. We weren't sure what to expect from the "Vorspeisevariationen" platter but we were blown away by the look and taste of this menu item. BRILLANT! And just when you thought it could not be any better, we received the Rumpsteak. Mine was cooked to perfection with delicious sauteed onions and herbal butter on top. As a side I had "Bratkartoffeln" which were very good as well. Food that good with the kind of (perfect) service we were exposed to makes me want to go there every night... HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! :-)

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!

From…read morethe street you walk past all the lit windows and climb several steps to a door that I can't recall if it has so much as a brass plaque on it. But you swing open that door and... Well, not magic. Just dark bricks and a near-empty bar to the left. So you go downstairs. And that is where the magic happens. That is where the tables are full, and, European style, you may end up sharing your table with complete strangers. The brick ceilings are low and arched, darkened with age and I imagine the soot of years of candles. It actually looks a bit like the interior of a brick pizza oven, come to think of it. The atmosphere was cozy and the place gave off a good feeling, the kind of place you want to go back to. I was gonna get the pike fish, the menu description intrigued me. (Thank goodness for Google translate.) But I always ask the servers what's amazing, and he said hands down the burger. I had no idea I wanted a burger. But it was the perfect meal for me at that moment. Sometimes things just click. It was dense. It was meaty. It was thick and a little bit smoky. I had trouble getting it into my mouth, and I went through about 4 napkins because it was so juicy. Even the fries were the perfect crunch. Hubs and his work colleague each went for steak. I tried hubs' (that's what I do, and it's part of the marriage contract, right?), and it was the perfect doneness for me, medium rare, almost but not quite bloody. Be advised, though, hubs had ordered his "rosa", which is to say medium and pink. They evidently consistently undercook their steaks, because I was a little sad for hubs' colleague, who ordered his well-done, and that's just wrong (at least he didn't top it with ketchup). But it came out a happy pink, which was his plan, so he's figured out what to say to the chefs to get what he wants. Hubs' colleague told us before we ordered that the creme brulée was amazing here so we each got one. Delicious! And accompanied by fruit, ice cream, and a decorative garnish of chocolate, mango, and raspberry syrups. I love recs because I never would have found this place, or that meal, or that dessert without help. And I would go there again in a heartbeat.

If you enter the building you step into an entrance area first. I think lately there was a bar or vinotheque opened in that area. The restaurant is down in a cosy vaulted cellar. Wine and meals are very good. Booking a table in advance is a good idea but its worth going there and try and find out if there are some seats left. Don't be astonished if you are offered to join foreign people's table sharing a table with other guests. You may agree to do so because this is common in this part of Germany. One star minus because if there are a lots of guests it may be a bit loud and hard to talk to each other.
