“ Fantastic restaurant inside the Cochem Castle complex. Stopped into this restaurant after taking the castle tour and we are so glad we did. Not only are you able to have a wonderful view of the city, because you can choose to sit inside or outside, but the food was wonderful. We had several dishes but the ones we loved the best were the potato soup and potato pancakes, which were to die for. The only drawback to this location it can get very crowded during the day and the outside eating area can have a lot of smokers, which can be overwhelming at times. However, we are still very happy to have stopped in for a bite and the prices were quite reasonable. Would have taken some better pictures but the food looked too good to just let it sit there for a photo. ”
“ A well deserved desert with a glass of lieblich Riesling after the visit of the castle will take you far away when you are looking to Mosel Valley at the top. ”
“ The cakes and pancakes were really good. Breathtaking view from the balcony. Not wheelchair accessible, steep stone path plus steps. ”
“ Cakes are fantastic, full taste of fruit in a cake. Best choice for sweet lovers!!! The view is breathtaking, and staff is kind. ”
“ It started off well! We ordered a glass of wine each and tried to order tap water which apparently isn’t a thing or they had no idea what we were asking for. My husband and the schnitzel and potatoes and really enjoyed it and I had the potato soup which was great and hit the spot! It is a generous bowl. After that nobody checked if we were enjoying it or clear our plates once we were done! They were clearing other tables where the people had left? I was going to order dessert but nobody even looked at our table and I shouldn’t have to wave them down! There was a lovely couple also shaking their heads and had to wave to order! There were 2 or 3 servers so no excuse. We ended up going inside to the bar to pay because we didn’t feel like waiting around any longer. They had the nerve to ask for a tip! In our weeks of travelling in Germany and France this is the 3 time we have been asked! We have eaten out a lot so this is a rare ask during our travels but shame on them! We declined of course! Too bad they can’t work on their customer service and being more friendly. We did our absolute best with a German menu and google translate and said please and thank you in German. Too bad they started off nice up until we got our foods and then the service dropped! ”
