ALEX Aachen in Aachen

Breakfast buffet with the family, rich selection and very tasty. Various types of rolls, bread, croissants etc., eggs in various forms, bacon, meatballs, sausages, fruit, cold cuts of meat and cheese, a glass of orange juice included, and all in one rustic rooms with a feel-good character. You definitely can't go wrong... 🤗👍

Great breakfast, super nice staff

atmosphere is what you make of it, I've been coming here for YEARS! since I have a girlfriend less so (who knows this... hehe) Well... super tasty food! drinks, cocktails there is nothing that is not good!

Wir haben uns für das Alex zum Mittagessen getroffen und waren sehr positiv überrascht. Neben sehr gutem und aufmerksamen Service überzeugten uns sowohl Geschmack als auch die Größe der Portionen! Wirklich empfehlenswert

When I wanted to pay, the waitress was totally unfriendly, threw the card machine at me and went in. I was then left to wait on my own until the machine was ready and I could pay. I find that really disgraceful. The service was catastrophic and unsympathetic. Not recommended

Service absolutely disgraceful. The waiter comes to the table with a cigarette, smokes a full one and says “Next time without cream”.

We were there on a Saturday for a drink. It was well attended and we sat outside. So far so good. Given the sheer volume of visitors, there were only two waitresses there to serve and they were completely overwhelmed. We sat there for what felt like 20 minutes while others who came after us were already being served. If I hadn't called, we would still be there waiting for service. After another 10 minutes, a waitress finally came and took our drinks. My drink came immediately while my partner's didn't come at all. When I asked where the lemonade was, I was curtly told it would take a while. We decided to leave the restaurant. Conclusion: If the store is full, hire more waitresses and not just two. It is disgraceful to fob off customers like this. Unfortunately, this restaurant is not recommended...

Feel-good moments,...I enjoyed the breakfast buffet with my family,...it was varied and tasty and everyone was satisfied.

Loved the curry worst and the schnitzel!

Located directly on the town hall square. The selection is very large from snacks, cakes, food, ice cream etc. The service is warm and courteous.

Very cozy, delicious brunch and good selection. You can do it. However, for me, coffee and tea are part of the buffet. But that's my opinion.

Great breakfast buffet with a large selection at a fair price. The atmosphere is also much quieter and very pleasant compared to other breakfast buffets. The service is always helpful and very nice.

1a-Lage. Freundlicher Empfang. Schöner Fensterplatz. Gute Platzverhältnisse. Schön arrangierte Zutaten fürs Brunchen. Große Vielfalt. Frisch und lecker. Angemehmes Ambiente. Interessante Waschbatterien beim Hygieneporzellan. Angemessenes Preisniveau. Entspannter Aufenthalt. Empfehlung!

Delicious breakfast and very friendly service. I can only recommend it 😊

Good, affordable food, mostly nice waiters!

Hello Aachen, unfortunately there was a misunderstanding when ordering, or rather the description of the dishes can be interpreted differently. I then tried to find a solution with the staff, but they weren't interested. Service desert, so unfortunately I can't recommend this address. Take a look around the market, there are many great restaurants with good service.

Very nice service, which was unfortunately hindered in its work due to the ordering system collapsing or not working. Several orders were delivered one after the other instead of at the same time, incorrect deliveries almost at every table.

Het eten is zonder meer goed te noemen maar de bediening is zwaar onder de maat. Er staan veel te weinig mensen op de vloer en daardoor zijn wachttijd en timing met gerechten die doorkomen een absolute ergernis. Zelf mijn biertje onder de tap laten houden omdat de schuimkraag bij uitserveren al minimaal was geworden.

A currywurst with a topping of truffle mayonnaise for almost 17 euros is definitely too expensive for this portion size.

On several occasions the order was only partially fulfilled, booked to other tables, or forgotten.

We were there for the first time on Saturday and said hello from afar. It was very tasty and the service was also great :) we would love to come back ☺️ Greetings from Erkelenz

Super nice restaurant with a very affordable menu

Alex eben, wie überall in Deutschland. Das schönste war die Aussicht auf das Rathaus und den Marktplatz. Leider sind die Essensportionen sehr übersichtlich und die Bedienung könnte ein bisschen fixer sein.

Good service, nice staff always courteous

...Imagine sitting outside, looking at the market and after 20 minutes you still haven't been served. Then wouldn't you go too?

Service very nice and accommodating. But as far as the food is concerned, the chicken teriyaki was really lukewarm. You could almost say it wasn't freshly prepared. Rather, it was warmed up. My girlfriend had a César salad plate with chicken. The bread was really hard as rock. Upon request, a second portion was delivered to us where the man had already eaten it. The man could have saved himself. The man didn't even apologize for 3 small breads. And, among other things, you should make sure that there is a better connection for the cash registers on the terrace. It can't be that the waiter always has to run back in to find a connection. My conclusion Alex is more appearance than reality. You can do it, you have to, but it's not a shame. There was also better quality here.

The chain is also known here in the north... we stopped there during a rain shower. Rustic atmosphere right up to the ceiling, delicious food, smoothie was great 👍. Very friendly and open staff, mixed crowd, nice terrace area, close to the town hall. All in all 👏 great!

I ordered the classic schnitzel with sweet potato fries. It came with a salad and I had to ask for cranberry sauce as well. The schnitzel was decent, it was not thin and not seasoned well, the sweet potato fries were very good however.

We had a lovely time outside the ALEX. Friendly, courteous service, delicious food and beautiful weather. We'd love to come back.

Slow service. They brought cocoa with milk instead of hot chocolate I asked for. They probably don't know how to make it.

Very friendly professional service, the atmosphere is great, right in the center of the city. Food was good, recommend

The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating, which made the stay very pleasant. The brunch was also excellent – ​​both in quality and selection.

Worst tent ever on the terrace, only being able to pay with cash, you have to enter the seam to pay with pin, then you wait there for 15 minutes and they just walk away...

Alex (Life is Beautiful) unfortunately not for us guests. The coffee (cappuccino and the latte macchiato tasted more like water than coffee. The toilets are not accessible for disabled people because you have to go down a narrow staircase. And what's also not good is that the men's and women's toilets are not separated, unbelievable!! Not recommended😏

Great tomatoe soup , ice cream bagel coffee and service

I would have liked to give it five stars, but it bothered me that the breakfast buffet wasn't replenished and we were there at 10 a.m. in the morning

Tried the Sunday brunch here which has a great selection for the price point per person, the staff is friendly and attentive and the location is good. Great place to enjoy a Sunday morning in the summers with outdoor seating.

Amazing food, very friendly staff

We were there for the first time. Food and drinks top. Service great. We felt comfortable and will be back. Thanks for the nice evening.

Service was great and funny. The food tasted good and the Aperol was tasty.

The Alex on the market square is at the same time a welcome meeting place for Aachen residents and also a popular place for tourists. Whether a cold Hefeweizen, a long drink, a cappuccino or a soft drink. There is something for everybody. The menu is impressive. There are many delicacies from Mediterranean burgers, shrimps, salmon to schnitzel and vegetarian dishes. The service is super good! - despite the very busy restaurant. No long waits for food and drinks. Wonderful ambience on the market square and the historic town hall.

Bij toeval hier terecht gekomen doordat we vroeg wouden eten en veel restaurants pas vanaf 17,30 diner serveren. Een leuke betaalbare gemengde kaart met voor ieder wat wils. Vlotte, vrolijke bediening .Het eten was goed, smaakvol en snel op tafel. Een echte aanrader vanuit ons

waiting more than 30 minutes to pay. An completely disaster.

Had a very delicious meal at ALEX Aachen! Delicious schnitzel, cozy restaurant and friendly service. The homemade iced tea is also highly recommended. Absolutely great!

Very good place to eat, very good, reasonable price, fast, had a good time

The food is fresh and tasty and the service is good. I always enjoy being there again. A clear recommendation.

Unfortunately only one star for the service. I would like to give more, because not every waitress behaves like that. But as soon as you seem to sit outside, you are forgotten. After we got restless after a long wait and I flagged down the waitress (brunette with tattoos), I wanted to place my order. Since the waitress knew better how long we would be sitting, she constantly argued. Ultimately the mood became very heated and the provocative comment was accompanied by a false grin: “But the customer is always right, right?” :) “, the situation became so unpleasant for me that I decided to leave. For me, very inappropriate behavior. As a customer you felt threatened and provoked in their presence. Please stay at home on bad days. A pity.

Here you can eat deliciously. The service from Nova and Rico is top notch 🍹

We went to Alex, and took both currys, it was excellent, not as spicy as you would expect, but tasted really really good. What made the experience better was the staff, everyone was very nice, always laughed and were very sweet. Also the music wasn‘t too loud which made it nice to talk, but you could still hear it very well.

Food is not great.. drinks also average, very limited beer options only highlight is that you can seat in Marktplatz..

Great location Space for sun worshipers when it shines. Unfortunately the wheat beer is much too warm... There are increasing cuts in personnel. A single service on Friday evening Eternal waiting times Moscow Mule made of glasses immediately shows that there is a lot of ignorance here —— At least after 2 years finally cold wheat Unfortunately, without Mustafa, the best man, not much works here

Cozy, beautiful restaurant with a wonderful view of the Aachen town hall. Very friendly staff and the breakfast, delicious.

Nice ambience, good brunch. Price performance is right.

I'm very disappointed and wouldn't go there again, the service was totally overwhelmed and unprofessional. First the order was taken incorrectly, then we received half of the order and the other half 1 hour later, we didn't order anything elaborate, just coffee and cake and drinks, really nothing that you have to prepare, and if you order coffee and cake Then you expect it to come together, my girlfriend was brought coffee and cake only 30 minutes later, completely unprofessional, the waitress walks with the tray between the tables and doesn't know who ordered what. And at the end they gave us the wrong bill and wanted to charge us twice as much, luckily we noticed the mistake. We've never felt so ripped off.

Very nice staff and the food is always very good. In the summer it's nice to sit outside with a view of the Aachen market square

Went this morning for the breakfast buffet. Pretty busy inside, but it might be normal for a Friday at 10am. Food was not bad, particularly for what the price is supposed to be. They had different types of eggs which was a plus, some cold cuts and cheese, a couple salads, veggies, and sauces. Nothing tasted like it was made in house, but it wasn't terrible either. What was extremely disappointing, hoiwever, was how I was overcharged by at least 5€ and it seems like it was the waitress giving herself a tip. She never offered a receipt before or after payment, just told me the price and asked me to pay cash because the debit machine was not working (but I had seen her at the door getting paid by card half an hour earlier). Again, it could simply be human error as the restaurant felt like they could use additional waiting staff, but even then the restaurant should have a better system in place. I ended up paying 25€ for brunch and a small coffee and only realised I had been overcharged when I had left town. Thankfully there's another brunch across the plaza; they might be better at math.

Good offer. Excellent price. Tastes good

We were in the cafe about a week ago. Incredibly fast service, very pleasant and polite waiter. For food we ordered RUMPSTEAK & BAKED POTATO. The steak is sooo delicious. But the potatoes seemed to me not baked, but boiled. My stomach can taste the difference. Baked or grilled potatoes are sweeter, while boiled ones have a little sourness. As for the BERRY SMASH alkoholfrei drinks, I really liked it. It’s not the first time I’ve been there and I recommend it to everyone

Nice restaurant right on the market. When the weather is nice, it's really a great location. Many different (cold) drinks. The beer selection is clear, but completely sufficient. Solid, very attentive staff. The food is very tasty, but the portions of the salads are really too small. After the 16€ salad with (5 mini-mini falafels), which should normally fill me up in any case, we went to eat at the AKL around the corner. So please fix that.

We now regularly eat at ALEX in Aachen and always leave in a good mood and full. The dishes on offer are very, very tasty. The service is extremely friendly and fulfills every wish. Even when we were there very late in the evening last time and thought we wouldn't get anything more, we were served as always in a friendly and quick manner. Thanks!

Downright rude service. We were given something different than what we ordered, the waitress claimed not, so there you are... €20 for two cocktails that you did not order.

Schnitzel, currywurst, fusilli ㄹㅇJMT

The waiter was impolite and unfriendly.

We were there for breakfast. And we were very satisfied. Everything very tasty and fresh. The service is great and very attentive. And even children under 5 get a glass of juice. 🥰 Small gestures that bring joy... 👍 We'll be happy to come back. ❤️

Wanted something to drink and eat. But unfortunately we had difficulties when ordering the cappuccino. Either we weren't allowed to place an order and the waiter who was allowed to take the order wasn't interested in us. Chatting with colleagues was more interesting. A young colleague then passed our order on to him. We drank the cupuccino, paid, left and ate somewhere else. End of story.

The service was attentive and quick. The food, in my case a burger, was still okay. For the price I would have expected a frozen patty, but the rest (burger bun, salad) was okay overall.

So we wade there with 2 children for lunch. Unfortunately, the service was a disaster and the food was overpriced and more like a chip shop. The waitress lost half of the mini portion of fries and didn't even try to fix it. The schnitzel was a small “shaped schnitzel” from the cheap discount store. Here you don't seem to make much effort for a lot of money. It's a shame, I know Alex from better times and can't recommend it so strongly.

High prices for poor quality food. Service friendly but lost a quarter of the fries on her tray. So the portion was even smaller. I used to enjoy eating there, but unfortunately not anymore. You can get much better quality elsewhere. Too bad

Super delicious food and great service.

It was our first time in an Alex and we really enjoyed it. Despite the fact that there was a lot going on, everything went very quickly and friendly. The food was also great. Only the tables were a bit too small and access to the toilets was a bit difficult.

The fact that Alex is a system restaurant is not a bad thing per se. We always ate consistently good, healthy and varied food at the different locations. Not so here in Aachen. On the one hand, this was due to the service in the kitchen. My daughter likes the Caesar wrap, but unfortunately no tomatoes… a simple request so far. Here in Aachen, according to the service, the "head chef" was overwhelmed by this and refused. With my CHICKEN TERIYAKI, the chicken felt like half the usual portion, but above all it had a tendon and was no fun. the actual service was good as always.

Very friendly, loved the food. We got the food very fast.

We really enjoy coming for breakfast. Had dinner recently, very tasty, will be back ☺️

food was bad, I came all the way from Belgium. I threw up in the toilet downstairs, vegetables were dead and tasted like plastic. Not worth €30 anyway, young man. Best regards

The slowest service in Germany. You can wait 30 minutes for your order to be taken. You sit without coffee and stare at the indifferent waiters. If you're lucky, you can eat in two hours.

Food very tasty. Service very nice. Child friendly.

Good food and good ambience. Service always friendly and attentive

Very stylish, colorful, green, clean cafe/restaurant. With a varied menu, I mean, the desserts alone :) where do you have so much choice of desserts. I like eating the Bolws :) but for a gourmet day the Currywurst is also worth recommending. The bartender knows his craft and makes good cocktails but also delicious warm drinks! Cappuccino especially from the bar manager ^^ Must try, matcha latte or turmeric latte with oat milk :) You can't find it anywhere else :) The only deduction is the toilets. They don't quite meet my hygiene standards and are a contrast to the otherwise clean guest room :)

A restaurant with a colorful soul.

Always enjoy coming here for breakfast. This is very tasty and also rich. The staff is always friendly. The only thing is that the price is higher here than in surrounding places, which is why we eat breakfast more often at the competition.

Very good value for money, nice decoration, Prices have increased significantly compared to before

Nice personel. Great place. For young and old. A different memory card.

We chose it because there was a campaign on weekday cocktails, the cocktails were very successful, you understand the long island ice tea once you drink one. It has more of a restaurant vibe than a bar. A bright environment. It is preferred for cocktails, but I did not have the opportunity to try the food.

Very nice and friendly service. We went here today for brunch without a reservation and it was perfect for us! Absolutely recommended and happy to come again!

I'm not a notorious negative review writer. However, my visit yesterday prompted me to share my experience. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere and the service is also good. However, the food is a disgrace. I had the Teryiakebowl for 18.90 euros. The portion size was very clear, impossible for a normal eater to get full of, but cleverly fluffed up visually. The amount of salmon and avocado was homeopathic, everything was drowned in sauce, the rice was disgusting. I had a total of two pomegranate seeds. The toilets were disgustingly dirty and smelled. Not like that, we definitely won't be dining in an Alex again. The optics alone are simply not enough.

I already have a bit of an ALEX collection. Every city I travel to where there is an ALEX is sought out. For good reasons. This branch also impresses with friendly service and good, fresh food in large enough portions that are filling but not overly full. ALEX remains a good place to stop off, even in Aachen

Unfortunately the service is subpar. Were there at 12:50 p.m. and wanted to order something to eat. Food will probably only be available from 1 p.m. The lady was completely annoyed and unfriendly. You can also say in a nicer way that you will take the order later. We had lost our appetite. Guests sat down at the neighboring table and then were so annoyed that they just sat down. You can also convey that the table has already been assigned to someone else and that you should immediately assign another table. The guests didn't like the tone and then left...

We were guests on Saturday evening. The staff is very friendly and quick. The selection of dishes and drinks is really large We didn't have to wait long for food and drinks. In order to order more cocktails or drinks, we always had to ask a waiter if we could have anything else. The coffee is undrinkable, even after returning it it still wasn't any better. The food is delicious, we were all full, but the portions are a bit small considering the prices. The toilet was quite dirty and smelled very bad. I'm not sure if I would go again.

Super fast service and very friendly and competent staff who had everything under control despite the full house. The food and drinks tasted very good.

We spontaneously got a place to have breakfast. Great buffet 🤩

The service is terrible... The waiters just ignored us. The bartender made us a very sour cocktail. When we asked why it was so sour, the bartender said that he just didn't pour sugar syrup because he had to go far to the pantry after him. That's why he simply made it without sugar syrup! How can that be?? I don't understand 🤷‍♀️

Portions outrageously small. Prices outrageous. Quality good.

Super tasty food and a good selection Great staff The drinks are also great We recommend

Everything was great here. The brunch is recommended.

Pankakes waren trocken...Latte hat leider nicht geschmeckt. Toiletten haben leider sehr stark nach Urin und erbrochenen gerochen

Sehr zu empfehlen. Super tolles Ambiente, super Frühstück, nette und freundliche Bedienung. Wenn es voll ist,muss nan leider oft lange warten bis aufgefüllt ist, aber Topp 5 🌟

Essen war nicht meins. Burger in verschiedenen Varianten. Der Rinderpatty war nicht zu essen, einfach zäh und schmeckte nicht. Service war gut, Getränke auch und nette Leute waren auch da. Beim nächsten Mal nur ein Getränk, gegessen wird woanders

Sehr leckeres Frühstücksbuffet mit einer guten Auswahl auch für Vegetarier. Der einzige negative Punkt sind die Toiletten. Sie sehen zwar sauber aus, riechen aber schon vorm Betreten recht unangenehm.

Ich Fante es nicht lecker es war lauwarm und, wir haben 15 Minuten lang gewartet auf das Essen und habe gesehen wie die Küche das Essen gekocht haben und ich gehe nicht mehr dahin weil es zu teuer ist und für mich nicht geschmeckt hat Und der Kelner war nett aber das Essen war nicht so lecker:(

Sehr schöne Atmosphäre und nettes Personal Update Mai 2023: ich bin regelmässig im Alex in Aachen. Bei schönem Wetter kann man draußen sitzen mit herrlichem Ausblick auf Marktplatz und Rathaus. Drinnen sollte man am Wochenende auf jeden Fall reservieren es ist sehr voll, zum frühstücksbuffet sowieso. Der Latte macchiato ist super und hat ein gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. Das Personal ist immer mega freundlich 👍😊 Update Januar 2024: Heute haben wir noch mal dort gegessen. Es gab Falafel Bowl und Penne. Beides war sehr lecker. Die Preise sind auch hier wie überall gestiegen. Aber das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis ist noch im Rahmen
