Brasserie Hennemann in Xanten

After a long time we were back in the “Athen” restaurant in Xanten. The reserved table was kindly assigned to us by an employee. When we received the menu, we were amazed. Compared to the website, the offer was significantly reduced and the prices were extremely raised. It would make sense to update the prices on the website so that the customer can adapt to this. The starters were good and tasty. The main course with gyros was unfortunately borderline. The gyro was extremely fatty and not crispy in any way. Various pieces tasted slightly spoiled. As a result, I didn't eat most of the gyro. The liver was okay. The rice tasted bland. The dish of baked chicken fillet was okay, but overpriced at around €23. Furthermore, the wine (supermarket wine) was served from a 2 liter bottle. €6.40 for 0.2 liters of wine is quite sporty. In general the price/performance ratio is not suitable. The service by a second employee wasn't very friendly and when it came to billing, they didn't even make an effort to give out the change. Well then. Unfortunately, the very nice ambience cannot make up for the shortcomings. It will probably be a long time, if not forever, before we visit the restaurant again.

The service and food always impress us...

Very hospitable restaurant, top price-performance ratio

sehr leckere frische Gerichte, tolles Sushi und leckere Getränke, waren schon mehrfach dort und sind immer sehr zufrieden... endlich mal was ausgefalleneres hier in der Gegend

This is a traditional restaurant with a beer garden. Overall, the food is above average and the prices are appropriate. The service is attentive. Overall, things are a little quieter, and that's a good thing. Fresh cooking takes a while. The furnishings are rather old-fashioned, but they fit the place perfectly. It's just not a trendy place. Nor should it be. That's exactly what we love. Highly recommended. We've been coming there on and off for a long time.
