Elefant Bonn in Bonn

We were there for dinner today on December 20, 2024 at around 6 p.m. The service was very nice and on the ball, the food was great. We ate a tartare as a starter and then a very tasty burger and a homemade cabbage roll, which was also very tasty. But the highlight was the sauce on the cabbage roll, it was sensational!! Although the restaurant was busy the whole time, the entire process with service and kitchen ran optimally and without any hassle. The restaurant is highly recommended.

It was full. The staff was still very friendly. The food was good. It looks nice inside. A lovely modern guesthouse.

We eat there every year after the Christmas market. It is super tasty and very nicely prepared. The staff is very friendly. We will come back.

A really cozy restaurant where you immediately feel at home. The steak was cooked to perfection - it couldn't be better! What's particularly cool is that there's a cheese fondue for one person, which you can't find everywhere, and it was absolutely delicious. The staff was super friendly and attentive. All in all a great evening – I’ll definitely be back!

I've been seeing it for ages and finally ate there! How many years I have wasted without being there! A warm welcome from a young and committed team! The food: home cooking reinterpreted! Excellently prepared, great quality and super tasty! Lavish portion, not possible with normal hunger - unfortunately! I could have fallen in love with the fries and roasted potatoes! Attentive inquiries about satisfaction, drinks always filled - perfect! I give it 10 out of a possible 5 points. I'm already looking forward to the next time!

The cabbage roulade with the mashed potatoes and the delicious dark sauce tasted very tasty. My friend had the Wienerschnitzel, which she also really enjoyed. There was a lot going on in the restaurant but our waiter was friendly and attentive. If I ever find myself in Bonn again, I will definitely come here to eat again.

Delicious food and friendly, funny service

Service was very good and attentive, the burger was ripe, but it wasn't really my taste. The sauce on the burger was very sweet. Rolls could have been better too.

Cozy Gathaus with good food and very friendly service.

Lively restaurant with local cuisine. Meatloaf was very tasty.

Elefant is simply a cozy restaurant with good, home-style and delicious food and a great selection of drinks. Always a pleasure to stop after every stroll through the city, whatever the season!

While the place looked ok, a serious amount of training in customer service was required. I felt greatly offended when the waiter shoved us away when the place was full! That tone felt like “You are not worth dining here, too expensive you cannot afford so go somewhere”.

I liked it a lot! The service was great and the location was very central.

Very tasty food. The service was great!

Very friendly and accommodating. Food was great. Thank you

We were only there for the yeast dumplings. This one was really delicious. The restaurant is of course of high quality in terms of price and quality, which you need to be aware of before visiting. The service was very good. Free tap water is a good sign of great service. Overall, we were completely satisfied with our not quite full visit!

Ausgesprochen nettes Personal und gutes Essen, kann man nur empfehlen!

Everyone in the group enjoyed it.

Delicious, friendly staff and nice atmosphere. Pries - performance is right.

Friendly service and good food. Can be a bit noisy but overall a pleasant atmosphere

Flamed salmon burger “Old Swede” A delicious innovative dish. The flamed salmon was simply delicious.

A really very nice restaurant. The food was extremely tasty and we have particularly positive memories of the super friendly staff during our two visits. We will definitely come here again on our next visit to Bonn.

Get space for 2 people without booking in advance. Very fast and good service. Food was great, price was ok. Gladly again

Wow...what awesome Raqulette burgers. Absolute recommendation. Service was also very attentive and friendly.

Nice service. Friendly welcome and delicious food.

I always enjoy going there, solid food. Service is always on point and friendly.

German cuisine, we enjoyed the food. Price performance ratio was ok.

We came in around 4:30 PM and asked if we could have a drink (at that time the place was almost empty). Answer: no, everything as a restaurant will soon be fully booked. It was still possible outside under the heat lamp at 7°.

Traditional german lunch in Bonn. We had meat balls and Cabage Roll meat. Really good... and i cant forgot our delicious lentil soup to keep us warm.

We spontaneously passed the elephant and got a table. However, reservations are an advantage as it was very well attended. We had 2x Wiener Schnitzel, 1x Wiener Schnitzel and a pasta with meat. All dishes were delicious. Reception and the waiter were always friendly and on the ball. We will definitely come here again on our next visit to Bonn.

10/10! Great food + very attentive service.

Absolutely incredible. That is the most appropriate adjective for this restaurant in Bonn. Incredibly delicious: The food is not run-of-the-mill like in hundreds of other restaurants, but you can find unusual dishes such as kale, meatloaf, Königsberger meatballs, creamed spinach and so on. And how delicious it is true! To kneel down (I had kale, my steaks were meatloaf and rump steak). Incredibly beautifully decorated: At Christmas time it was a very festive and cozy atmosphere. Incredibly friendly: When it comes to service, some restaurants can really excel at not just one, but several. Friendly, helpful, accommodating, fast, attentive. Every cent of the tip was well deserved. For everyone who wants to try it: Be sure to reserve a table, it was packed (so it's not an insider tip 😉)

Very nice aromasphere. The service is satisfactory. We got schnitzel with mushroom cream. It seemed a little expensive to us, but it was nice.

Very nice service and quick service even though it was full. Again and again.

Great food and good vibes, but very unpleasant service which unfortunately spoiled our experience.

The service and venue were quite good. Prices are a little high, but the quality is worth it, it's a central location.

Food is not good. Fries dry, bowl of mayonnaise costs extra 😂. Service depends more on the cell phone than on the customer. Customers should pay for the toilet🤣.

Great location in the pedestrian zone, beautiful outdoor area that is heated even in winter. Very tasty food and incredibly friendly staff. Highly recommended!

Schnitzel and lentil stew were great. Classics in a classic ambience. Always good and full.

The last time I was here was with the old owner and the store looked completely different (more rustic). The makeover didn't hurt, it's very inviting, the food is great and the staff is very nice. Absolutely recommended

Very friendly staff, delicious food. Definitely recommended.

Excellent traditional & transalpine cuisine. Good things from the grill, burgers and home-cooked delicacies. Very friendly service. Reservations are recommended in the evenings.

Top location.. we would love to come back!

We often go here when we are in Bonn. Very nice service and very tasty food. Part of the menu changes depending on the season. Classics stay the same. All of high quality. You should definitely make a reservation for the evenings, even during the week.

Cozy restaurant. Pleasant atmosphere. The Alm Bürger is interesting in taste, but “Sauguad”. Highly recommended.

Interior is in top condition! Waitress polite and quick! Every dish ordered was very tasty. Never had such good fries!

Gladly again Feel-good restaurant

Service was very friendly. Even though all the tables were reserved, they were still able to get us a seat. The food was excellent. The fries in particular were very good! I had Wiener Schnitzel and my friend had Wiener Schnitzel. It was exactly what we wanted. The prices are okay.

Rhenish cuisine in a nice atmosphere Now in winter there is delicious mulled wine and a cozy atmosphere outside.

I liked it, but the last time I went the food was very oily. I wouldn't go back

We had a delicious schnitzel with very good fries. There were coloring pages and books for the children to read. Nice restaurant to have something to eat.

Very tasty, cozy atmosphere, attentive but not intrusive service. Absolutely recommended!

Well-kept inn. Interesting menu, not just the usual. Friendly. Nice interior.

Very nice restaurant with great dishes. Even though it was very busy, we were able to have a good chat and enjoy the food.

We had a very nice evening in the Elefant restaurant. The food was excellent and the service was great. A very special compliment from the youngest of the tour group (5 years old), who thought it was great that it was possible to order burgers without vegetables.

I just ate the best burger in the world. A tear almost rolled down my cheek

Very nice restaurant with local cuisine in the center of Bonn.

Unimaginably great card. The food and drink are high quality and very tasty. The staff is friendly, incredibly unobtrusive and has perfect service. Even though we were there on Friday evening, there was no unpleasant crowd, pleasant noise. Explained very briefly… always happy!

Ohne Reservierung am Samstag um ca 14 Uhr fast kein Platz zu bekommen. Draussen kann man sich setzen, wo frei ist. Innen mit "Platzanweisung". Wir mussten paar Minuten warten. Super freundliches Personal. Getränke schnell am Tisch. Kohlroulade mit Kartoffelstampf wie bei Muttern. Schnitzel Wiener Art (für mich) etwas zu dünn. Aber lecker. Pommes fand ich sehr gut. Der Punkt Abzug ist für das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis. 1-2€ weniger wäre der Tellergröße angemessen.

A great atmosphere and very good food

Absolutely amazing food, service and location.

Mega tasty and very nice design of the walls, 5 stars from me 🌟

Service is always really friendly and accommodating. Great! The food is also okay. However, I would like to see fewer convenience products used in the kitchen. Serving a cabbage roll that claims to be homemade with ready-made mashed potatoes makes no sense to me. You could get a lot out of this with a great homemade mashed potatoes and homemade sauce. With the leaf spinach as a side dish for 5.70, I was disappointed that it came from the frozen food chest and was rather mediocre. Burger was good, Wiener Schnitzel too, but MUCH too small. Please go to Bavaria and experience what is served there for 30% less of the price! Otherwise good job, keep it up!

Very quaint, top quality and delicious food.

Delicious food, good service and reasonable prices.

Delicious lunch dishes… highly recommended

We've wanted to go to the elephant for a long time and now we've finally done it and it was so worth it. Great ambience, delicious food and great service! We'd love to come back.

Nice city center restaurant with a brewery atmosphere, good food, carefully cooked and delicious (there is lots of German classics, including stuffed cabbage and Königsberger Klopse, our favorite dish), a nice selection of beers (it's not just Kölsch on the menu!) and quick, friendly service. What more could you want? Always a safe bank.

Nice shop. Definitely. Definitely reserve! All tables were occupied. We were lucky. Unfortunately it's a bit expensive. But that doesn't take away from the fun.

I had a wonderful experience at the restaurant! The German blood sausage was absolutely delightful—rich and full of flavor. The sauerkraut with dumplings was also fantastic, perfectly complementing the dish. I tried the Irish coffee as well, and while it’s definitely a unique combination with the alcohol, it can be a bit strong if you’re not used to it. However, with the cream on top, it looked and tasted like a masterpiece. Overall, a great meal with some unforgettable flavors!

Very nice inn with good cuisine and very friendly service. Nice ambience between tradition and modernity. What is striking is the relaxed and not so crowded distribution of seats in the guest room. An excellent evening with a group of 8 people. Only recommended. Thank you elephant.

We made a reservation at this restaurant because of its many good reviews. I was surprised by the friendly and very professional voice on the phone who asked about any special features or requests. When we arrived there we were greeted by a friendly and open-minded service team. The food was first class (I have to strongly recommend the Königsberger Klöpse!!) We'll be back, I promise!!!

We always like to come back when we are in Bonn, no problem with a stroller and dog, enough space and above all very nice service and great cuisine.

Everything was okay and very nice service

Very pleasant, calm atmosphere. The service is very accommodating. Tasty food, with perhaps expandable portion sizes. :) We stopped by spontaneously and can absolutely recommend the restaurant.

Great modern take on a classic dishes with a nice selection of teas. The staff was nice and friendly. The place is quite popular. It’s best to book ahead during peak times, but I managed to snag a spot for a short visit.

Nice, calm restaurant with very polite staff. Food and beverages were excellent, there seems to be no bad choice on the menu.

Nice place. Good wines and desserts.

Wir waren in den letzten Wochen mehrfach hier. Jetzt mit der ganzen Familie und drei Generationen. Das volle Programm. Vor-, Haupt- und Nachspeise nebst Kaffee. Es war ohne Ausnahme alles wirklich sehr gut. Das Team ist aufmerksam und durch die Bank sehr freundlich, auch zu den kleinen. Und für die Fleischesser alles mit sehr gutem Fleisch aus sehr guter Haltung. Toll! Wir kommen wieder!

After 30 years of absence, I wanted to be back in the squeezed place. . . Okay, I was surprised by the atmosphere and then I realized that it probably doesn't exist anymore 😄 . Conclusion. The citizens are world class, the waiters are very friendly and the rest is also perfect for a successful stay. . . Thank you

Very good and varied menu! All dishes are deliciously prepared and taste great. And a friendly team!

Very friendly service but the food took a while to come out, the salmon burger was delicious but I don't think it suited me very well 😓 The steak tartare was very tasty!

The food tastes good, the restaurant is nicely decorated and the staff is always nice and courteous. Gladly again!

We had (only) a cream pork schnitzel, €22.5o and a side salad (mix bag), €7.5o The schnitzel came very quickly, the breading came off and the crispy fries were rather soft with jacket potato skin, also not to everyone's taste. You searched in vain for dressing in the salad a few drops on the lower leaves otherwise the predominantly green lettuce was dry. You don't need one for these types of dishes trained chef......

Very high quality food, nice staff, the menu changes seasonally and there are always great new dishes!

The food was good, but the service was very disappointing. We were a large group and the waiter was just very rude and disrespectful to me the whole time. There was absolutely no desire to stay there any longer.

A nice, friendly brewery in the middle of Bonn. The menu offers something for every taste. Lunch dishes are offered separately. Price performance and quality are completely ok. Friendly service and nice atmosphere

Always great service and great food.

The great service saved the review: veal pork was the basis for the Wienerschnitzel.

It was delicious and we had super nice and quick service.

The Service was very friendly. We felt well cared for during our visit. The location in Bonn is nice and allows a good view at the city. We were positively surprised with the German kitchen that was reinterpreted with fresh ideas. Definitely worth a visit!

Nice and fast service, exciting small menu - also with great snacks and, when the weather is nice, an excellent view of what's going on in the old town. When the weather is bad, it's also very comfortable to sit inside. Clear recommendation.

The food was good, would have liked an alternative to the fries. e.g. boiled potatoes

Good food at reasonable prices. Everything was great and the service was great. We can recommend the restaurant without restrictions.

Super tasty and very nice menu, something different than what you usually find! Even if it was a salad and Kinbelinge as usual for us 😅

Great service. Great food. Reasonable prices!

We had a burger and a Wiener Schnitzel. Both were very tasty and highly recommended. The waiting time was ok (Friday evening) and the service was very friendly. Price/performance is also okay.

Excellent food and the service was great!!! Highly recommended!

Very tasty, great friendly staff and always a repeat customer from the most beautiful city on the Rhine 🚲🫶🍻🫶😋🚲😎

We were looking for a restaurant to eat Schnitzel and we found this one in the center. Correct service, dishes not excessively large and expensive for what they offer. The drinks especially expensive. We ate on the terrace and it was very hot, inside it was worse. Be careful, they charge for the sauces.
