Em Höttche in Bonn

No longer recommended. I won't go there anymore.

Service very attentive, food unfortunately below average. I had a knuckle with dumplings and sauce. The knuckle was small but tasted okay, the dumplings were hard on the inside and the sauce had no taste. We actually had to give my wife's ox cheeks back. Thin slices of sausage with an indefinable consistency. Maybe the cook was off, but unlikely on a Saturday evening. On a positive note, I can say that the service was very attentive and the Gaffel-Kölsch was very tasty.

I have been a guest several times in the past and have always been very satisfied. Unfortunately I can't say that this time. I ordered my second Kölsch three times until it finally came and waited half an hour for it. For the goose leg, the sauce, dumplings and apple were okay. The leg was cooked through, but considering that it was supposed to have been made in the oven, the skin was very soft and not crispy. I know things differently from before here. Overall, I hope that it will be more worthwhile to visit here again in the future.

A must when visiting Bonn. Very quaint and cozy. The food is good and rustic in keeping with a brewery. Guys, order the goulash soup, that alone has always been a magnet for me.

Great food. Very cozy and friendly staff

Very, very tasty food, good portions, fair prices and nice waiters. Gladly again.

A wonderful and historical restaurant with very hospitable staff and delicious food. A place to visit again and again.

It was our first time at Höttche and we really enjoyed it, especially the service was first class and the food was good We will come back

Absolute disaster. Staff overwhelmed and unfriendly There was no Kölsch at the counter after 20 minutes. We're out again.

Nice ambience, friendly staff, delicious food and beer. I'll come eat more often. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who likes good quality German food. The manager Emra makes sure everyone is well taken care of. See you soon.

Very nice atmosphere and delicious food! Definitely worth a visit.

Very tasty food and something for everyone. Courteous, friendly staff. Gladly again.

Great German cuisine, roulades, hax ​​liver or goose leg, everything we had at our table was really good.

Unfortunately the service wasn't very attentive. Had to wait a long time for the drinks. After the meal the empty plates were not cleared away. The food (schnitzel with fries) was so well.

I ONLY gave 3 stars for the ambience because I find it very unprofessional to do construction work while the restaurant is in operation. That's absolutely not possible in a restaurant. Otherwise the ambience would have gotten 5 stars because the house is simply enchanting. The food was excellent , simply delicious. Had the beef liver 🙂 The service was also first class. So friendly, professional and simply invigorating. Rarely have I seen someone who does their job with so much humor and you just feel good. Thank you Martina. We're coming definitely again.

Unfortunately, not much of it remains at the moment. Unfortunately the quality has decreased significantly. Food has slipped from good to recommended to “not ok”. Unfortunately, I experienced this again in 2024, so I don't think it's a "special case". It's a shame!...We won't go here anymore...

Very good German cuisine. Once again, very down-to-earth dishes (heaven & earth, liver, etc.). Just like with mother or grandma. Very nice atmosphere, nice service and all in all a nice evening.

Nice old restaurant. There is a lot of Rhenish food here. I had Döppekoche, which I liked.

One of the last inns in Bonn. You should order the Rhenish beer culture as a small Kölsch, otherwise there will be steins. 😔

The waiter was quite unfriendly when we told him that we just wanted a drink.

Nice ambience. Delicious food. Good prices.

A veteran with a great history. Unfortunately, there are fewer and fewer such pubs/restaurants. I hope the Höttchen stays with us for a long time.

Excellent menu selection and the best Rhenish Sauerbraten I've ever tasted. Attentive and friendly service, so completely satisfied!

Very nice traditional atmosphere, good location, but my schnitzel was not very good quality.

Food was so-so, I had promised more, Rösti only tasted like fat, so it wasn't a taste experience that you have to have again.

Wonderfully relaxed, warm and everything was delicious!

Generous portions. Good food. Excellent beer. Must try.

Recommended if you are looking for a traditional restaurant.

A brewery, very loud. I ordered half a rooster (Röggelchen with cheese). The lower half was relatively easy to bite off and chew. The top half, usually the tastiest part, was unfortunately so hard that it was almost impossible to bite off. Apart from chewing, only possible with a drink. I gave up after a quarter. 8.90 euros an expensive experience. In addition, after we had paid, we were also asked to free the table for new guests. There were enough other free places available. I have never experienced such outrageousness in my entire life. I definitely won't be entering this store again.

Staff friendly and accommodating. The shutters and the shanks were fine. But I've eaten better.

Very cozy restaurant. Good bourgeois cuisine.

Trotz Umbau eine freundliche und serviceorientierte Bedienung.

You have to wait a long time. BUT GOT BON RNZSFIGGED FOR BECAUSE I WAS EATING OUTSIDE

Tourist trap - we were there 2-3 years ago, today just disappointing! Wienerschnitzel doesn't deserve the name. Staff can't handle criticism - a shame, but never again!

Anyone who was in Bonn and not at Em Höttche was not in Bonn.

Es war nicht richtig viel los aber trotzdem hat es schon ein bisschen gedauert bis wir die Getränke und Essen bekommen haben. Essen war mittelmäßig, weil sie nicht so gut gewürzt waren und die vegetarischen Gerichte waren nur so la la.

Authentic German restaurant with real German dishes in BONN. The Redtaurant was located next to the old Rathaus on the market.

Food was horrible Schnitzel full of tendons or whatever, Vegetables mushy, beer scarf, Others eat as if they had been warmed up... we don't have to have that again, Waitress was friendly

Service nice and friendly. Good value for money. Would love to come back

Rude as hell. They don't have an English menu and if you ask for it they treat you badly. Then they rush you to order, they can't stand having to wait for someone to translate the dishes one by one with Google. Since we had ordered 2 courses, they only brought cutlery for 2 people, even though our daughter was also there, and when we asked for an extra plate and fork they brought a ridiculous saucer in a huff. Even the wipes were counted, and when we asked for an extra towel they gave us a rude answer. To pay then I had to wait 10 minutes even though I was in a hurry. The food may even be good, although the schnitzel tasted too fried, the oil was obviously old. But it's just not worth being treated so badly anyway. Also very high prices.

Delicious food, nice ambience especially when the weather is nice outside, good service with limits when the restaurant is full

Unfortunately I can't rate the food because it probably won't happen. But I can tell you about my experience there today. Late at noon I entered the empty dining room to reserve a table. It took 10 minutes until I expressed my wish in a friendly manner to a lady rushing past and received a monosyllable "moment" in return. The moment lasted 5 minutes when Lady 1 passed my plan on to Lady 2, who then replied even more rudely: "No, we won't do anything like that. We don't have time for that now." Aha. Astonished, I answered why they had left me standing for almost 15 minutes to tell me that they weren't willing to reserve a table for me. I was loudly answered with the words that I could have said whatever I wanted and that I should go and reserve somewhere else ! joh. THAT is what I call kindness! Thank you. You won't see me and my friends again. In any case, the competitor around the corner was happy about the reservation.

My food was okay. However fried was disgusting!!! Order any other food except Blutwurst!

Server didnt really wanted to do his job. Beer was ok though.

Leckere regionale Gerichte, kann man gut hingehen!!

Historical ambience. Service was nice, food plentiful and tasty, Kölsch was great.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Restaurant Em Höttche in Bonn and I absolutely loved it! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, the food is excellent, but what made this visit particularly memorable was the service. Waitress Martina was incredibly friendly, attentive and professional. Not only did she give us the best recommendations, but she was always there to help without seeming intrusive. Her warm smile and courteous manner rounded off the evening perfectly. Many thanks to the entire team, especially Martina, for this wonderful experience. I'll definitely be back!

Traditional food in the best surroundings and quality!

Kettle cake/Döppelkooche and Kölsch - wonderful

4 service staff very inattentive. Suddenly five people had 12 glasses on the table. New beer was brought but not cleared away, as were the plates. On Metthappen, Kölsche caviar Waited 45 minutes and it wasn't full.

Nice traditional place. The quality of the food was fine, but I have had better food in Germany. Helpful staff.

Very cozy brewery in the heart of the old town. I visited there to show my Mexican friend Rhenish food. He liked it very much, and so did I. :-) Price-performance ratio is right. Clear recommendation, especially if you are looking for good German cuisine. Clear recommendation.

Wonderful restaurant i. Heart of Bonn

- nice and attentive staff - delicious food

Eat and drink deliciously in nice surroundings. The umbrellas make it too warm outside in the summer evenings (heat builds up under the umbrellas). Staff seems disorganized, asks for requests too rarely and forgets orders.

The four of us had a very hearty meal and the price-performance ratio was absolutely fine. The service outside was friendly and very attentive - we felt very comfortable. The partly “hearty” menu offers something for everyone, but unfortunately we overlooked a special additional summer menu. We will be back!!!

Authentic German dishes, from starters to mains to desserts. Definitely an awesome find! The food came fast and was cooked to perfection.

A great experience! The food was perfect (although the portions are manageable - you should take starters and desserts into account here). The taste is insane. The building: The oldest restaurant in Bonn - with origins in 1300 something and lots of history - very impressive and great dishes!

Excellent location for a tasty and pleasant stop. I highly recommend it

Typical brewery, affordable prices, nice service. The knuckle is cured and unfortunately has very little crust, but a lot of lean meat

Had a veal schnitzel with potato salad. The potato salad probably came from a bucket and tasted very sour. The salmon carpaccio was almost inedible. Simply pour vinegar over smoked salmon slices! When I asked whether a new chef or owner was running the house, I received no answer. A few months ago the quality was significantly better! Too bad and annoying!!!!

Good traditional German food. Great atmosphere, as it’s placed close to a beautiful building and is in a town square. The staff were a little impatient (possibly do to us not understanding what the dishes were, as we don’t speak German).

12€ for three prepackaged vegetarian sausages and a potato. Need I say more

Service great! The elevator is a disaster, the toilet is ancient, super small, lighting on the lower floor is underground... The food was mediocre and looked like mostly ready-made mixed salads from the supermarket. Not recommended at all.

A real Bonn veteran and just as cozy. We had a gathering table with guests from all over Germany and the nicest evening ever. The service, which was all about having fun, rounded off the successful evening perfectly. We'll definitely be back 👍

Visited 2 days in a row... Very tasty schnitzels... Price is also fine....

Was invited to dinner. Was delicious. Nice atmosphere.

Perfect. Very tasty, portion very correct, the menu could be larger. New waiters and waitresses very nice. Thanks

Traditional German food. Very good value for money and friendly service.

Found somewhat randomly, it was a good taste experience. The dishes are very good. Quality service. The general atmosphere is perfect.

Local located on Bonn Town Hall Square. There isn't much variety on the menu but the food is very good with an acceptable value for money. Main course + two large beers for about 25 euros per head

Great food, friendly staff. A bit loud, it echoes a lot.

Fun place! Historic restaurant with great food and service

Back in new splendor after the flood disaster.

Gutes Essen, gute schnelle Getränke. Schönes Ambiente.

Unfriendly service, the menu says COCA COLA and the service only brings Pepsi and doesn't know anything about it, vanilla ice cream and espresso are on the menu but an affogato is not known and cannot be made. No, thank you, not again.

Great staff. Very nice. Great food. The best restaurant if you want to eat good, traditional food in Bonn

Delicious food, great, lovely, attentive staff, perfect restaurant if you want to have a home-style meal

Ein sehr leckeres Spargelgericht, einmal mit Räucherlachs, einmal mit Schweinefilet. Dazu Sauce Hollandaise und zerlassene Butter.

Such a beautiful shop and such incredibly good food 2-3 years ago. Unfortunately, not much of it remains at the moment. We celebrated our wedding there years ago. Which was absolutely recommended back then. We have since moved away but would like to eat there again at least on our wedding anniversary. Unfortunately the quality has decreased significantly. The typical Brauhaus staff (the elderly gentlemen, who at first glance seem unfriendly) are also only a few left. Food has slipped from absolutely recommendable to “it’s ok”. Unfortunately, we experienced this twice in 2024, so I don't think it's a "special case". What a shame!

A restaurant from earlier times, but clean and a nice rustic atmosphere. The service staff was very attentive and very friendly. The food is delicious 😋 and there are also Rhenish specialties. There is one negative point for me: the elevator to the toilets is there, but it cannot be used with a wheelchair.

A brewery with history as it should be. Beer good, food good, atmosphere great and friendly staff.

Very bad service at this restaurant. The waitress is harsh and impolite. Also I ordered Coca Cola and they brought Pepsi.

„Echt“ Rheinische Kost, sehr lecker! Spargel bitte 1-2 minuten länger dämpfen oder kochen, dann stimmt auch die Konsistenz. Alles andere: Service, Ambiente, etc. sehr empfehlenswert.

Historical restaurant in Bonn's old town. Beautiful sunny terrace and super delicious food, especially the asparagus with butter and asparagus with liver were a culinary delight. I would also like to say a thank you to the nice and lively winemaker, Ms. Godyn. She served us with sufficient supplies of beer. Thank you for everything, dear Em Höttche team...

Very unfriendly and extremely overwhelmed waitress. Couldn't handle the orders, didn't ask for drinks. You had to wait forever to pay. Professional are different.

Beautiful restaurant with a historical atmosphere. It is an extraordinary experience to dine in Beethoven's favorite restaurant. Great service, delicious food, unique restaurant. We will be back !!!!

Delicious food. Veal schnitzel with side dish Kölsch supplies were always there. Great service, thank you!!!

Tolles Essen, super nettes Personal. Kommen immer gerne wieder.

Food was very good. Ambience beautiful. Service super friendly and attentive!

Good expensive but also good food Sat outside, had the farmer's schnitzel with egg, bacon and onion. Was delicious. However, also very expensive. There was no side dish, so you had to order one. Had the rosemary potatoes. They were also very tasty, but definitely on the more expensive side for €5.20. The service was very nice, on the ball, and always brought Kölsch Overall very good, also good atmosphere, but in my opinion the prices are 1-2€ too expensive

Our family waited for an hour for ordering the lunch, but the lovely XXXXL size waitress kept ignoring us. After ordering, we waited for another hour, but the food didn't come. After waiting for two hours, the food was still not served at 2:30 pm, and my child was crying with hunger. I strongly do not recommend this restaurant.

Food for the bin! Schnitzel was big but also flat! No taste, just breadcrumbs, a side salad straight away and dry fries kept warm for a long time, nothing!

Cozy brewpub but there are some points that could be improved. By default, in a brewery there are little to no vegetarian/vegan dishes. That's why I was really looking forward to the vegan bratwurst that we saw on the menu and why we chose this brewery for dinner. When we ordered we found out that it had never been available before, even though it was on the menu. I think it's pretty cheeky to lure people with it but not offer the product at all. The service was very friendly and really personable, but couldn't cope with the obviously new digital ordering system. That's why (?) we were forgotten several times and had to wait a long time even though it wasn't full. The waitress smiled at the mistakes with her relaxed manner. The superiors should rethink their concept here and, above all, train their employees better.

First the (only) positive: - The service was "always trying hard" and very nice. If it hadn't been for her, we would probably have left the store again. The negative: - We waited over an hour for our food. - During the waiting time, our glasses were practically always empty, a sensible drinking rhythm was de facto impossible, and ordering drinks was difficult/impossible. - In a BRAUHAUS in the Rhineland, as a Kölsch drinker, I actually expect that new Kölsch will be brought to me without ordering until I put the lid on it; That's actually what Ouzo is here. - The food: It was an absolute disaster. I had the schnitzel “Em Höttche”. The "fried potatoes" were a burnt and rather baked pile without any refinement: no onions, no bacon, no parsley, no nothing. The apple compote was missing and was only added (minutes) later (while, of course, we were already left high and dry in terms of drinks anyway). The Kölsch sauce was only found in trace amounts, overall everything was very salty (which is great if you don't have anything to drink...) - The baked vegetables consisted of 99% of a hollandaise-like sauce and were virtually inedible. - It was VERY loud, which is part of a brewery, but I would like to be able to understand the person I'm talking to. I can only advise against going here (at peak times), last year before the change of tenant the food was still excellent; It's a shame that the standard wasn't maintained.

too long waiting times for food

It took a very long time for a waitress to even come to our table. We had previously gotten the menu ourselves. After ordering, we had to wait about an hour for the food. We had 2 soups as starters. Unfortunately the main course was brought before the soup. We then ordered the soup. The quality of the food was very good. Unfortunately, we couldn't really enjoy it due to the long waiting time. A pity!

We just had a drink. The service was very nice.

Sehr leckere deutsche Gerichte, traditionell, urig eingerichtet, Bedienung freundlich, Toiletten sauber. Leider nur wenige vegetarische Gerichte, die zT nicht verfügbar waren. Insgesamt sehr zu empfehlen, wer gerne deutsche rheinländisch essen gehen möchte.

Nettes Personal, tolles Essen, Preis Leistung passt. Immer wieder gerne.
