Em Höttche in Bonn

We were there at lunchtime during the week, just after it opened. There were construction workers walking around, but that didn't bother us. Food was excellent and the service was very friendly. Would love to come again.

Best restaurant I've ever been to, good food and very, very good service, I can only recommend it 👍🙂

Everything is just great!!! See for yourself and definitely go there.

Service and ambience top! The food isn't really that tasty. My cheese spaetzle was so over-seasoned that you couldn't eat it. However, the friendly service made sure that I got a new portion. That was very good and the spaetzle was also edible. The menu is typical for a brewery, very meat-heavy. You should know that before you stop there.

I'm here once a week - they have the best pork knuckle in Germany! The service responds to the guests' wishes (for example, I only eat the knuckle with sauerkraut) and is also super fast. The atmosphere is very pleasant. I can definitely recommend the place!

The food was delicious, why and fresh, the location was simply beautiful and the service was very attentive and quick. All in all a successful evening. I'll definitely be back!

They didn't attend to us and we left

Had reserved, had to wait 1.5 hours for the starter. Haxe was out, which is why we actually chose the restaurant...

Be carefully with receipts, they overcharging.

If two things are already gone at 6 p.m., the food is only lukewarm and the fried potatoes are soft like potato salad and taste like stale boiled potatoes, then I can only give three points for the Kölsch. Service nadja...

Everything was going well until we paid for exactly what we ordered and then two unordered items showed up on the bill. Unfortunately we were forced to pay for these additional items.

Fast and friendly service. Food was very good. Lunch at reasonable prices. Rooms (in the front area) are very comfortable. Greetings K. Great

Delicious, friendly, always worth a visit.

We had an amazing group dinner at Em Höttche, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. With 19 people, things could have easily gotten chaotic, but the staff handled everything smoothly. The food was delicious, and the service was friendly and attentive the whole evening. One thing that really stood out was how they helped us with our big birthday cake. We brought it from outside, and instead of any fuss, they happily assisted in serving it. This was such a thoughtful touch and made the night even more special!

This restaurant has a long history, and there is an early fireplace inside. The restaurant is filled with a peaceful and warm atmosphere, and there are endless customers! When I visited again a few days ago, there was a mother and daughter sitting at the next table. The mother looked to be in her eighties. She told me in fluent English that the German pork knuckles I ordered were delicious! I answered her: I know, I have been to this restaurant more than a dozen times. Later we chatted and I said it was not easy for her. Generally speaking, Germans of this age are not very good at English! The old lady was kind and friendly. Before they left after finishing the meal, we greeted each other and said goodbye. We can deeply feel that this restaurant not only has delicious food, but also has deep feelings!

The service is good and the location is just awesome. I would just drink that. You can already see how much savings are being made. The savoy cabbage tasted extremely sour. Should have said something. Unfortunately, it's a shame, maybe again at some point, but not for now. It's just a shame. Paid 52 euros with 2 large beers. Eating out is no longer fun 😞

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. Went there again, service was good, but the price for a Röggelchen with Mett is already exorbitant. It was a mini Röggelchen and maybe 50 g. Mett. Material usage Max. 1.20 €! PRICE €8.60!!!!!!

Great ambience, prompt service, and always with an ear to the guest...

Local food at the Rathaus on the Markt in Bonn. Delicious puree, tasty meat in a setting that takes you back in time. Friendly and correct service. Despite the sometimes poor reviews, we can highly rate this place. A small detail for us: one of the two dishes we ordered was not what was eventually served. Could happen, but what we got was still delicious.

The Rhenish restaurant is in the heart of Bonn and the atmosphere is lively and inviting - perfect for a social evening. Our main course, salmon with potatoes, creamed savoy cabbage and mustard sauce, is not a typical Rhenish dish, but is also recommended alongside the traditional dishes. The salmon was well cooked, the creamed savoy cabbage was creamy and crunchy and the mustard sauce rounded off the meal wonderfully. A really successful dish! The dessert, apple strudel with vanilla ice cream, vanilla sauce and cream, was ok. In my opinion the apple strudel was a bit dry but still a good choice if you still crave something sweet. Overall, I can definitely recommend the inn, especially for the authentic atmosphere and the tasty main dishes. It's definitely worth a visit if you're in Bonn!

Typically German; historic environment. Very nice.

I like the atmosphere, the very friendly and attentive waiters and the delicious food. Vegetarian and vegan dishes are also offered.

In general I can recommend this place, but we were a little unlucky with our service. First she pointed out to us that we were in a brewery and that the portions would be particularly large, as is typical for a brewery. She appeared quite brisk and changed her tone a little. The portions were OK. What was not at all right, however, was the supply of drinks. Several times we were basically left out to dry and couldn't order anything because no one came to order from. If the reference is to standard brewery food, then you should also stick to standard brewery beverage service. That certainly wouldn't have happened in Cologne. What also annoyed me a little is that we were given a memory card that said dishes such as ox loin, but when we wanted to order them, they were no longer offered. The waiter's comment was: They haven't been offered for at least two weeks and have therefore been removed from the menu. We had 7 memory cards and none of them had this dish deleted. When I pointed out that nothing had been deleted anywhere, the answer I got was that it would be too much effort to delete dishes that were no longer offered from every single menu. Sorry, service is different!!! Overall, the dishes we ordered were tasty and plentiful. However, I don't know at the moment whether I want to use the service here again. The trend is rather no.

Excellent establishment. The food tastes really great.

Good brewery atmosphere! Not exactly cheap, but it's worth it!

Nice restaurant with lots of traditional dishes. Historical ambience creates a pleasant atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Very nice old brewery, great food and good service

There were three of us. The food was very dry, regardless of whether it was fries, Maultschen or kettle cake, which was really served as a cake and also dry. It had little to do with casserole, as written and known. Service good and ambience OK

SK(English version below): I can't fault anything. A typical German restaurant with traditional German dishes and a pleasant German atmosphere. Portions are sufficient to large. Reasonable prices, mostly between €10 and €20, which is what you'll pay even in Slovakia (for semi-finished products or small portions). And as for the service, it's also 5*. Nice, quick and talkative. Of course, it was not possible without a tringelt. If you want to get to know German cuisine and eat well at reasonable prices, I definitely recommend stopping here.

Great service, delicious food and reasonable prices. Gladly again👍

Decent brewery, unfortunately quite intrusive service with little sense of how often and when to ask "if everything is okay". Food (cheese spaetzle) was mixed. Drinks came quickly. Plus point: Vegan dishes on the menu.

Onlinereservierung für für Sonntag 18Uhr 2 Personen verlief reibungslos. Zugewiesener Tisch ok und das Essen und die Getränke wurden vom durchweg freundlichem Personal serviert. Fragen, z.B. warum der Blanc de Noir von der Ahr (übrigens empfehlenswert) den Zusatz 1. FC Köln hat, wurden beantwortet. Alles in Allem ein sehr zufriedenstellender Besuch im "EM Höttchen"

Etwas mehr Personal und es wäre perfekt gewesen Der Service war etwas schleppend

Es gibt in tolle Mittagskarte, aber von dieser darf man nicht bestellen, wenn man einen tisch reserviert hat. Das ist sehr eigenartig!

Essen und Service waren sehr gut Sehr freundliche Bedienung

Eine abwechslungsreiche Speisekarte mit rheinischen Gerichten, das Essen kam schnell und war schmackhaft, die Getränke-Versorgung klappte ebenfalls gut und die gemütliche Brauhausatmosphäre hat zu einem gelungenen Abend beigetragen.

Typical Rhenish cuisine in a cozy restaurant with a great tradition.

Very nicely decorated. The food was also very tasty.

Really delicious home cooking served by friendly staff. Quite busy, so expect waiting times…

The reception was very nice, as was the service, but we were neither asked during the meal nor whether it was tasty. We ordered roast goose and roulade. The skin from the roast was very greasy, the dumplings were tasteless and the sauce was much too thick, almost lumpy and unseasoned. The roulade was at most lukewarm, filled with indefinable ingredients apart from the cucumber and the sauce was also unseasoned. We also had a touch of sauce on the plate. No gravy boat to give in and when we ordered more sauce, we were charged for it at the end. Outrageous with these dishes!!

A wonderful typical German restaurant, delicious schnitzels, nice and fast service. Delicious food!

Super delicious. At first I wasn't sure if I would be full, but in the end I almost burst. Great shop!

Very attractive restaurant. Authentic details and delicious food!

Tolles Ambiente, wir hatten Weihnachtsessen , frisch zubereitet

Worst goose breast we have ever eaten. But it cost an expensive 29 euros. The skin was not crispy, but very, very fatty, the dumplings were completely unseasoned, the red cabbage was indefinably terribly seasoned. The sauce was very slippery and nothing special. We were hungry and ate some of it, but left most of it lying around. The fact that we weren't even asked whether it was tasty is a deep insight. It's a shame, we would have liked to come to eat more often. But you don't dare try anything else.

It's a nice address but very loud, I mean really loud! The food is good, there is also decent beer, but when the Höttche is busy, something gets lost in the order and comes very late, or not at all. Nevertheless, the service is very good and the guests are friendly. The prices are acceptable. All in all a good address.

Great place to eat visit every time I am in bonn. Love the Schnitzel

Nice atmosphere, friendly service. Main meals very good. For dessert, apple strudel was served with waffle dough instead of vanilla sauce and it was emphatically claimed that it was real vanilla sauce. Only when the staff tried it did they realize that it was probably waffle batter. A new dessert was served later, but without vanilla sauce because it suddenly ran out. No discount. Too bad.

Nice to eat authentic German food. Please note that reservations are a plus if you do not want to wait in a line

A typical Rhineland inn. Hearty food, lots of Kölsch and quick service. Noise level like in the main train station. But you should definitely go there, otherwise something cultural is missing.

A very bad service. The waiter was incredibly rude to us women. He came to us and said "the table will be reserved soon and "goodbye". There were 10 tables free. I am a constant customer. I have never experienced such bad treatment. Bad treatment of women. I had this attitude scared. I often visited Em Höttche with my colleagues, but not anymore. The waiter who communicated so poorly with us was an older thin (not tall) man. He served the tables near the entrance.

The ambience is unbeatable. Very quaint and you can stay inside for a long time. The food was very tasty. The portion could have been a little larger, but it was very well balanced for the price. The waitress would have liked to have been able to come to the table more often to order drinks, but it was also very full and the table was very far back. Still a very good service for the requirements. Nice and quick!

Great atmosphere and extremely good staff...food great

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

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.

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.

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

Die Reservierung hat prima geklappt. Wir saßen im Nebenraum, da war die Lautstärke OK. Auch das Essen hat gut geschmeckt.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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!

Nice ambience. Delicious food. Good prices.

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!

Unser reservierter Tisch stand zur Verfügung. Leider sind die Tische zu eng aufgestellt. Ich wünsche mir etwas mehr Platz. Die Bedienung war sehr nett, allerdings waren unsre Gläser mehrfach etwas länger leer. Es war allerdings, wie überall, zu wenig Personal dort. Also bestes Verständnis, dass es manchmal ein bisschen langsamer ging. Das Essen war gut und wir werden wiederkommen.

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.

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!

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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!!
