Alter Markt in Monschau

The portions are manageable, unfortunately the champions of my schnitzel were still raw and the sauce was a bit bland. I would have expected the portion of fries on a children's plate. Overall, unfortunately a bit disappointing. At least the service was nice and the tap Bitburger was also good.

Eating well but about 15 fries and a 125gr. Schnitzels are an outrage. Pure rip-off for the Christmas market.

We had a wonderful evening with the whole family in this restaurant. The service is exceptionally child-friendly and otherwise very accommodating, even though it was packed.

I had dinner here with my girlfriend this afternoon. Onion soup and Flamkuchen with salmon. I love onion soup and have eaten it in many restaurants, but I have never eaten one as delicious as here. And the Flamkuchen was also a poem. The service The staff was so attentive, friendly and super accommodating. If you can't finish everything, the rest is packed up. The price-performance ratio is also great. I can only recommend it to anyone who is in the area Small, sweet town that wants to eat. We'll be back next year.❤❤❤

I was here today with my girlfriend and we are thrilled!!! The food * tarte flambée * and * schnitzel with champion cream sauce * was just great! The service actually deserves 10 stars, we haven't been served this kind, friendly and attentive in a long time! We'll definitely be back!

Unfortunately no longer recommended since the change of ownership

We spontaneously dined there on a Friday evening. The service was good. A young team, very friendly and fast. (Maybe too quick for a leisurely dinner)… Unfortunately, I can't understand the positive reviews regarding the food in any way. Anyone who describes these dishes, especially the schnitzel, as good or even very good has apparently never eaten a halfway good schnitzel before. I would go so far as to say that these are the cheapest frozen goods, which would simply be an outrage at this price. The tarte flambées served at the next tables also looked like frozen convenience food. The prices are simply too high for that too. Our portions of fries and the schnitzel were ridiculously small and the thick fries weren't quite cooked either. I estimate the schnitzels to contain a maximum of 60-70 g of meat. A side salad or ketchup will be charged extra, as will some other change requests. We decided not to have dessert for reasons you can imagine. Perhaps one could have foreseen that in such a tourist place it is all about profit with minimal use of raw materials and the quality suffers. However. Once and never again. The fact that card payments were not possible and you then have to withdraw money from an ATM outside is simply no longer appropriate in 2024. That's just annoying. And then, about an hour after eating, I also had gastrointestinal problems. It may not have been the food, but for me it would fit together and round off the bad experience in Monschau.

Food was very average. Had ordered schnitzel with mushroom cream sauce, but the sauce was so watery that you can hardly call it sauce. The toilet is located outside and you will be directed there with a key. It is not possible to pay by card (fortunately there is an ATM nearby). Clearly a tourist tent. Gourmets should definitely stay away from Monschau.

Ate there twice. 1st time a chicken schnitzel with fries and salad. It was tasty, especially the salad that came with it. Ate flammkuchen for the 2nd time. You are served this on a wooden board and because it is so thin it cools down quickly. I would then serve it on a warm plate…. But it tasted great, including a nice Dornfelder wine. Friendly staff who take orders.

We wanted to eat fried potatoes instead of fries, it's just a swap of what's on the menu, but you still have to pay an extra surcharge, that's a rip off. I've never experienced anything like that. Therefore only 3 stars

Unfortunately, unfortunately we were very dissatisfied in this restaurant. On the one hand, we wanted to share a mixed salad, which was listed as the main course in the menu, as a starter. This was only possible after consultation with the chef, although we were advised that there are also soups as a starter, and it should be possible too Serve a salad at the front. We ordered trout with potatoes and asked for broccoli, but this was only approved after consultation. A tarte flambée caused no problems when ordering. Some time later we were served the salad and the tarte flambée as starters, so one of us had to eat the trout almost alone. We apologized several times for the chaos, but since the food itself didn't even come close to matching the prices in our opinion, this was no longer forgivable. When we asked for the bill, no EC card was accepted, there is a Raiffeisenbank ATM next door, 6.50 euros are charged for all other bank users, which is also very unpleasant. My friend and I are quite disappointed with this evening in general, so we could only enjoy the good beer. People don't like to write a bad review, but I really can't recommend this restaurant!!!

We were very satisfied. The service was very good on both visits and super friendly, personable and attentive. Thank you very much for that! The atmosphere is rustic and suits Monschau very well. The schnitzel with fried potatoes and onions was very tasty, everything was freshly prepared and well seasoned. Price-performance was great. I would be happy to come again on my next visit to Monschau. Note: in some reviews you can read that there is no reference to the only possible payment option (cash). It's posted on the display case outside. There is also an ATM right next to the restaurant.

Beautiful, rustic restaurant with very friendly service and delicious food. You immediately feel at home and requests are received in a friendly manner. Absolutely recommended and a must when visiting Monschau's old town. Reservation recommended. The 3 girls from table 1.

We were really satisfied. Vegan tarte flambée and the falafel plate are really recommended!

Super nice and fast service. We were just able to eat here without a reservation. Delicious schnitzels.

Excellent quality of dish, traditional and authentic cuisine. Very attentive staff and very fast service! To recommend

From Krol: Very good food and very friendly staff. Make sure you reserve in advance through the website and pay cash. Highly recommended!!

We ended up in this restaurant spontaneously. The service was very friendly. We liked the food and the portion was a good size. We would come again.

We were there on Saturday evening with six people and were particularly surprised by the staff. Everyone so friendly and polite. We haven't seen this anywhere in ages. Every single one of them tried so hard and was very polite. Food and drinks arrived super quickly. Thank you again to everyone for the great service and friendliness. We'll definitely be back!! Kind regards from your guests. We will definitely recommend you.

Do not accept small special requests. Payment only in cash and you are not informed of this. The waiter hardly understands German either. They also forgot to give us the card.

ABSOLUTELY NOT RECOMMENDED! To be fair, I can't say anything about the food, we angrily ended our visit to the restaurant after the drinks. Unfortunately, the service is really bad, you hardly understand German, you only speak broken German and you have dullly memorized the dishes. First of all, you wait a long time until you even get the menu, the prices there are an absolute rip-off, both for the drinks and the food. Then you CANNOT PAY BY CARD! This happens in some restaurants, but it doesn't say anywhere that card payments are not possible. Then, annoyed, you leave the restaurant to withdraw money from around the corner and then have to pay 6.50 euros in fees at the ATM. Really, the worst restaurant visit we've ever had. Even the smallest requests for changes regarding the food cannot be accommodated because NO GERMAN IS UNDERSTANDED!!! Absolutely not recommended!!

Very tasty food, the waitress was very friendly and always there when you needed something without being intrusive. We'd love to go there again

HORRIBLE ! It can happen that a meal is bad, but when a polite request ends in an unbelievable rude statement of the waitress and the menace to call the police I can only warn to enter this establishment. I recommend to walk a few steps further and enjoy a visit at Horchem’s Restaurant.

Food is ok, but service is very slow. And they charge you extra if you are replacing a side dish from one to another which is ridiculous

Delicious food you have to order in advance...so you can get a seat in the evening...

Delicious food, friendly service!

Nachdem wir in einem Restaurant zum Mittagessen sehr enttäuscht wurden, sind wir am Abend in das Restaurant Alter Markt in der Nähe des "Roten Haus" gegangen. Schon beim betreten des Restaurnts wurden wir sehr freundlich vom Personal empfangen und bekamen den einzigen freihen Tisch .(Reservierung dringend empholen) Der Chef bedient höchstpersönlich zusammen mit seinem unglaublich aufmerksamen Team ,wobei man merkt das Arbeitsklima einfach nur super ist Alles was da auf den Tisch kommt ist super frisch und vo toller Qualität,die Preise sind fair. Vor allem die exellente Sauberkeit( Sobald die Gäste den Tisch verlassen haben ,wird nach den Abräumen der Tisch desinfiziert.) Wir können das Restaurant nur emphelen. Ich möchte noch Hinzufügen das ich von Beruf Küchenmeister bin,und somit eine ehrliche Bewertung abgebe. Wir wünschen Abbas und seinem Team weiterhin viel Erfolg

Very nice and helpful service :)

Very nice staff. The food was delicious both times (vegan tarte flambée and vegan schnitzel with Balkan sauce). Extremely tasty. Requests are addressed immediately. Cozy atmosphere. You feel very comfortable.

We ate very well today. The tarte flambée tasted very good. The food would like to be a little warmer. Personeel was very comfortable. Good experience!

Delicious Flammkuchen Dog welcome

Luckily we were able to reserve a table for lunch and dinner. In Monschau it makes sense to think about the food in advance and then reserve a table. We had a Champion Rahmschnitzel, the food came very quickly. The champions were seasoned with a bit of lavash, and it was also tasty with some additional seasoning. The service was very friendly and helpful. Reserve the Old Market and eat with a good price/performance ratio.

Nice menu with a few more vegetarian/vegan options for Monschau/the rural Eifel region, friendly service and good value for money!

We had made a reservation for 9 people. Evening started well, but ended very miserably badly. Ordered schnitzel 9 times, but 3 arrived late and cold. We neatly passed this on to the waiter. But there was nothing they could do about it...it was busy.... Then reported it to the owner....the response was, you should have reported this immediately. Very unfortunate... The drinks didn't go well either. We gave our order to the waiter again 3 times. Because he kept forgetting what we had ordered, but also seemed to have forgotten that we were still waiting for our drink. Ultimately, after placing the order for the fourth time, we were still served drinks... but unfortunately this was not correct. All in all very unfortunate. Because it is a beautiful location, it seems like a nice setting and atmosphere, but the service is far below par.

Nice nice male employee. Unfortunately we were not served at the same time, 3 people had to wait 20 minutes longer, when the dish arrived it turned out to be cold. Reported immediately, but there was no adequate response. There is no arguing about taste, but I found the schnitzels to be unseasonable and very bland. Ordered drinks were only delivered after reordering 3 times. Not worth repeating.

Nice service and delicious tarte flambée!

The staff was really friendly! The food was good too, and there are vegetarian options! Only the dessert (Monschauer Dütchen with hot cherries) was overwhelmingly sweet. Overall, good experience, nice restaurant to end your day.

Good restaurant with friendly service. The steak was of good quality!

Das Restaurant liegt im Herzen von Monschau. Wir hatten noch draußen einen Platz bekommen und konnte somit die Aussicht auf Monschau genießen. Die Speisekarte ist gutbürgerlich. Das Personal ist freundlich und aufmerksam. Das Essen war schnell zubereitet. Die Portionen sind eher etwas klein anzusehen und führen etwas zur Abwertung.

We were here yesterday with the whole family. Really everyone in our 3 generation family was thrilled with the food. But what we have to highlight most is the waitress (Melanie). Even though they didn't have that much space, they made it possible for us to reserve a place for 9 people. If we are in Monschau again, we will definitely come here again. Kind regards from Gelsenkirchen

In het mooie oude centrum van Monschau is dit een heerlijke plek om heerlijke Duitse gerechten te eten. Een vriendelijke, professionele bediening zorgt voor een goede rustige sfeer. Heerlijk gegeten. Een aanrader! 10/10

Great food, very friendly people

Everything was very good, great service, good atmosphere

Very nice staff. Very tasty schnitzel. Price performance is also right. Can only be recommended.

Very noisy restaurant, high-priced tourist rip-off. The most expensive espresso at 3.90 and a miserable taste, ketchup for the schnitzel (17.90) costs an extra 1 euro, salad dressing that burns on the tongue. 0.5 l Bitburger for 5.90 euros. Friendly service, but not recommended for this rip-off.

Kien card payment possible, expensive, bad experience

Thank God we got a table without a reservation, which is definitely recommended here. Schnitzels were good. Unfortunately, cash payment is only possible here, as is the case in almost every restaurant etc. in this town. It is probably an agreement that cannot be understood today.

Rustige achtergrondmuziek die niet overheersend was. Een redelijk gezellig omgeving. Een flinke kom met 'Salat' die waarschijnlijk al iets ouder was, maar wel smaakte. Verder een goede Schnitzel met saus. Een glas Weizen bier voor €4,50 was stevig geprijsd

We both had schnitzel with fries and salad, mustard and pepper cream. We were both rather disappointed for the price. Employees were friendly and quick. Wouldn't come again.

Delicious food, friendly service, great selection. Monschau is generally expensive, but considering its price/performance it's okay

Not good. Dear. My wife and my son were served 45 minutes after my daughter and me. Forgot an order. Wrong addition. Don't take the credit card. Serve an adult dish to a child and charge him a full price. My wife had a salmon/shrimp flamechuche served without salmon. Anyway...We won't be coming back. Parmesan and mayo charged extra.

Very good time spent at 8 in this restaurant. Luckily we had a reservation! Copious and tasty dishes for excellent value for money. Smiling and very friendly service. We highly recommend!

The staff is very friendly and quick. My meal was excellent. I liked it very much.

Very good restaurant in the center of Monschau. We had Monschau mustard soup, Monschau mustard schnitzel and tarte flambée. Everything was very freshly prepared on site, so you have to allow a little time for the meal, but it's worth it! The staff is very friendly and the price-performance ratio is definitely very good.

We were kindly received. We were allowed to sit inside with our dog (who was given a bowl of water). Order arrived quickly. Delicious Wiener schnitzels with fries. Only pay by contact, but the ATM is almost wrong.

We spontaneously stopped in for dinner in the evening. The service was very friendly and the food was great The vegan alternatives particularly caught our eye as we didn't find anything else like them in Monschau. The restaurant is highly recommended! The only thing that can be improved is card payment ;) next time :)

Nice food, cash only, there is an ATM next to the restaurant, just in case....

The service was extremely friendly and the food was delicious.

We had a great evening at the public viewing! Drinks were always refilled and the service was very nice.

Ondanks de beoordelingen toch geprobeerd. Het was een volle bak maar er was toch plek. Typisch Duitse kaart. Veel schnitzelkeuze. Snelle bediening en goede salade naast de schnitzel. Veel frites erbij en een leuke prijs.

We had the mustard soup first and then schnitzel with salad and fries. It was really tasty, the soup in particular was very good. Really recommended

The place, personel and service was nice but don't take the pasta with pesto. It is literally a plate of pasta with a spoon of pesto and a lot of olive oil. It was tasteless and totally not worth 15 euro's.

Everything was fine, very friendly, courteous service. The food was delicious (I think the sauces were homemade) and a really good portion after my strenuous bike tour...

Very nice service, super delicious food. Gladly again!

Tasteless hunter's nitzel made warm from bags and jars. Pay everything in cash!

Rarely have I encountered such friendly and courteous staff. The food also left nothing to be desired. Always my pleasure.

The food was OK, but not restaurant level! The menu does not contain any information for allergy sufferers. Prices are generally completely overpriced in Monschau!

Great friendly service. Food delicious and plentiful and above all... everything was tip top clean!

We arrived a little later and it was busy. There was still a large table available inside, but it turned out to be reserved, but I had the strong feeling that he wanted to keep the table free for a larger group than the two of us. We had a beer outside and when we saw enough people leaving after 20 minutes, we went back inside on our own. Good food and payment is only possible in cash. Especially during this time. In summary, good food but not that hospitable.

We ate very well here. I had salmon in mustard sauce and my wife had chicken schnitzel with hollandaise sauce. Both dishes were excellent and the service was very nice.

We had a spontaneous meal here yesterday. The first plus point was the reviews online and the vegan options that are already at the door (vegan tarte flambée and two other options.) At first glance, the restaurant seems a bit “old-fashioned German”, but the young, very friendly staff makes the impression better right up. Otherwise very good, nice service, delicious drinks and a good selection of food, the mustard sauce is recommended. Payment only in cash, but there is a machine right next to the entrance.

The food is no good for those prices, plus payment is only possible in cash. And no one warns about this and it is not written anywhere. be careful

The service was very nice and the order came super quickly. The food was delicious. Unfortunately, I was annoyed about the price of the espresso, so I think 3.90 is a bit cheeky.

Good restaurant in Monschau old town. Table reservation recommended, but only via website.

Friendly service, good no-nonsense dishes, as you would expect in a German restaurant!

Stopped here today after our hike because the sign with the vegan tarte flambée spoke to me directly. In Monschau I had almost finished trying to find a restaurant somewhere where you could get vegan dishes without having to ask complicated questions. I basically liked the vegan tarte flambée, but it could have been seasoned a little more strongly. But as I said, it was still very tasty and is now a complaint on a very high level. I found the service at our table to be very friendly and served us promptly. So in my opinion I can only give it full marks.

Quality + tasty schnitzel at correct price can be found there! The portions are big, the atmosphere is nice and the service is good and rapid. I really enjoyed eating at that restaurant 😊

A great restaurant serving delicious food! The Dutch-speaking service will welcome you warmly. The schnitzel I ordered was very good and large. Don't forget to try the Monschauer Zwickelbier! Recommended…

Delicious vegan schnitzel and very nice staff.

Very nice, friendly and quick service! Food very satisfactory. Thank you...we'll be back.

Aussenwirkung ist besser als innen. Einen Aufpreis von 3.50 €, wenn man anstatt Pommes gerne Bratkartoffeln hätte und vice versa (vorher angekündigt, aber nicht bestellt), ist nicht nachvollziehbar. Somit würde ein einfaches Austauschen auf den Tellern satte 7 € kosten. Auch ein Aufpreis (welcher nicht angekündigt war) von Mayonnaise und Ketchup von 1 € ist unverschämt. Der Salat leider nicht wirklich frisch (Mais, Krautsalat, Rotkohl und Spuren von Eisbergsalat). Ansonsten waren die Portionen ok. 6.50 € für 0.5 l Eifeler Landbier ist teuer. Preis-Leistung-Verhältnis stimmt leider nicht.

External appearance is better than internal. An additional charge of €3.50 if you would like fried potatoes instead of fries and vice versa (announced beforehand but not ordered) is incomprehensible. So a simple replacement on the plates would cost a whopping €7. An additional charge of €1 for mayonnaise and ketchup (which was not announced) is also outrageous. Unfortunately the salad wasn't really fresh (corn, coleslaw, red cabbage and traces of iceberg lettuce). Otherwise the portions were ok. €6.50 for 0.5 liters of Eifeler Landbier is expensive. Unfortunately the price-performance ratio is not right.

Some of them are a bit expensive. E.g. portion of ketchup or mayonnaise 1,-, Eifel beer 3.90 for 0.3L or cup of tea 3.20 spoils the pleasure a bit. Service attentive and polite and the schnitzels were homemade including the mushroom sauce, no frozen goods or anything like that. That was really good for 20,-

Great restaurant, in a nice place. Not the best we had in Monschau, but good portions, tasty desserts, and nice Dutch-speaking service

Delicious food, large portions. Very friendly service. Unfortunately only cash payment possible.

The staff was very friendly. We came in on a Friday evening around 19.45u and it was fully booked. We asked if we could wait at the bar until a table would come free. They really want to offer us a table and said we could wait and would ask the guests who reserved a table if we could join at there table. At 20u we could share a table for six with another couple. If I had to name one negative thing is that the price quality was out of proportion. The dishes were on the high and nothing special. I ordered the falafel and in stead of salad with fried I asked for broccoli or vegetables. I got 5 falafels (homemade) with a hand full of cooked broccoli nothing more I paid €21 for this dish.

Lovely place, with especially excellent soups!!

The food is correct. You can't expect great quality but quantity makes up for it. I think the price is slightly high for what it offers but it is not over the top either. The problem is that in a place like this, where tourism makes a living, they don't make it easy for you if you don't speak German. Just enough English to relate to, but they don't help you at all with the letter, so if you don't use translate you order blindly. And another big mistake is that you cannot pay with a card and there is no sign or sign that warns you beforehand, only at the time of paying.

Warm atmosphere, the waitress is smiling, welcoming and speaks French well, simple, very good cuisine and fast service. Monschau mustard sauce is a real delight! We recommend!

The staff was very friendly and quick. The mustard sauce could have been slightly stronger, otherwise everything was great.

Delicious food, the schnitzel is highly recommended. Good price-quality ratio.

I was here for the first time with my father. The man with the “Thug Life” hat and glasses is super friendly, so humorous and helpful. Salad: OK, watery The beer: is great, my dad likes it Chicken: really good with the sauce, well cooked I love the mushrooms and the fried potatoes Dry waffle: just a spoon, no knife? Lava cake: without crokant would be better

Very cozy restaurant and very tasty food. Also super friendly staff! You have to pay in cash here, but that is the case in 99% of the cases in Monschau.

My wife and I only enjoyed a long aperitif on the terrace, so unfortunately I can't say anything about the food. The selection of drinks is really wonderful, especially when it comes to beers! The service is friendly and, above all, authentically zealous. We will be back!

We were super satisfied! Great service! Toilet was just being replaced! Food was great! We can only recommend it!

Flamkuchen are not freshly made (frozen) and way too expensive. Schnitzels are okay but very small. What is also not friendly is that if you want boiled potatoes instead of fries, you have to pay €3 more for it, while fries are listed for €5.50=weird! Only cash payments which is very annoying.

Great value for money, great service

Very friendly and attentive service & delicious food :)

The food was delicious, yes! Unfortunately, the taste of the schnitzel was like it wasn't hand-breaded, so the breading had a somewhat bland taste. The owner assured me, as you can read below, that it was very fresh and hand-breaded. It still wasn't entirely my taste, but I'm just one of many. I would always come here again for a beer or a steak. It's a quaint pub with very nice staff...

Food was ok, a bit overpriced for what it was. Acceptable beer collection with a fair price! No pin accepted, only cash
