Em Höttchen Bad Münstereifel in Bad Münstereifel

We would have loved to be guests today. Our attempt to move from the blazing sun to a seat inside the restaurant was thwarted by a very unfriendly "employee." We also failed to get a high chair for our 1 1/2-year-old son. Update after the owner's response Apparently, the case needs to be described in more detail, as one doesn't remember the alienated customers after such unfriendly and rude service. When we asked for a high chair, the host replied very briskly that there was only one. It was available. Whether it was made of wood or plastic didn't matter to us or our son. After asking where we should sit, we were offered a table inside. When we laboriously carried the heavy, real wood high chair to the offered table ourselves, we were once again told in the most rude tone that the table was reserved. There was no indication of this. Then the so-called host stated that there was no space available inside after all. We were told to sit outside. There weren't even two dozen guests inside. Most were sitting in the shady side courtyard because the blazing sun in front of the restaurant was almost unbearable. In my opinion, the owner's response only confirms the review.

The Em Höttchen is centrally located in the pedestrian zone of Bad Münstereifel, directly in Europe's first inner-city city outlet. The restaurant offers a cozy atmosphere with lovingly restored half-timbered buildings and an inviting outdoor terrace. The menu focuses on home-style, regional cuisine with seasonal specialties. The tarte flambée is particularly noteworthy. The service is friendly and attentive. The value for money is reasonable, and the portions are generous. For visitors who want to enjoy traditional German cuisine in an authentic setting, the Em Höttchen is a recommended address.

The staff was very attentive and friendly, and the food was excellent

Two of us visited the outdoor area on May 1st. We ate a salad with chicken breast strips and a schnitzel with onions. The food was delicious, but we were surprised that the mustard and the slice of bread with the salad were charged extra. At some point it felt like we were on the show: Understand fun. We ordered wine and the waitress asked if she could pour it into the used glass that was already there and still had some left in it. My husband was still eating with good appetite when the waitress came back, uncalled, and asked if they could pack up the rest so my husband could continue eating it at home. We had to laugh even though it wasn't a laugh. Something like this shouldn't happen to the staff and you certainly don't need any special training. That wasn't enough, we were told the amount to pay, we asked for the bill and lo and behold, it just so happened that it was 4 euros less than the amount we had been told. Even if there was no space in other restaurants, I wouldn't go there again for the reasons mentioned.

Very nice, very tasty and incredibly clean👍👍👍👍👍

Very good value for money. I tried several schnitzel recipes and they were all very good!

We discovered the restaurant today by chance. After looking at the menu, we decided to eat there. The restaurant was incredibly neat and very clean. You immediately felt comfortable. The nice lady (probably the owner) and the nice gentleman behind the counter were very friendly and accommodating. There was also time for a nice conversation. We thought the food selection was great. Not too much and not too little, so there was something for everyone. The wine tasted wonderful. The food (Cordonbleu with fries and side salad and the pepper schnitzel) were OUTSTANDING. PRAISE TO THE KITCHEN!!! It was really, really tasty. If we hadn't been so full, we would have eaten another portion :D Unfortunately, we live 1 1/2 hours away, otherwise we would eat here more often. We will eat there again on our next visit to Bad Münstereifel. Kind regards to the nice owners :)

Can definitely be recommended. Good cuisine and good friendly service.

We were 100% satisfied with everything!

As always, excellent food and Nicole has everything under control. Thank you!

We ate there with several people and all 5 were very happy with it. A clear recommendation from us.

Any time. The food was very tasty and well prepared 😋

We chose the perfect restaurant to end our short vacation! The people in service were absolutely attentive and friendly 👍, the food was delicious and of excellent quality (a special compliment to the kitchen!). If you're looking for good food, good draft beer and friendly people, this is the right place!

A very cozy and nice atmosphere.

The restaurant is inconspicuous from the outside, but the service was very nice and the food (goulash duppe and currywurst) was really delicious.

Very nice restaurant. The food is great. The staff is very, very friendly and accommodating. Can be recommended without hesitation. Thumbs up.

The two of us spontaneously stopped in for lunch. Quaint restaurant, good service and delicious food. Prices are more in line with the metropolises on the Rhine, but appropriate for products from the region (especially the meat). Clear recommendation.

Very tasty food in a cozy atmosphere. Service is very nice and attentive. Can really recommend!

Delicious food and drinks. People are friendly, up for a chat and a joke. And that for a small price.

There were three of us who ate here and all I can say is it was simply great! The food was cooked and served with a lot of love, the service was super friendly and accommodating, and the atmosphere was rustic and cozy. A little tip: Be sure to reserve in advance as it is always very crowded!

Service is ok - unfortunately a bit taciturn and the candle wasn't turned on upon arrival - sometimes it's the little things. Unfortunately, we only eat things that are quick - schnitzel, currywurst, a fish dish and tarte flambée. Schnitzel was very tasty, but I was just expecting a winter menu in December, as it said an excerpt from the menu on the homepage, but then it was the whole menu. Ambiance - very dark, a few gnomes and mini trees didn't conjure up a Christmassy ambience. Next time I'd rather go back to the restaurant opposite (Erftblick), as it has a better selection, Christmas dishes and better service.

A cozy restaurant with friendly service and good food. Almost everything was fine, only the opening times weren't great.

Em Höttchen is very cozy. My husband and I have enjoyed going there for years.

All in all, a cozy restaurant. The service was very friendly. The food was tasty. The fries could have been a little warmer. The baked potato wasn't really hot either. Overall, there is still a little room for improvement. However, I would still like to eat here again.

Ate delicious schnitzel. Friendly service

We were very satisfied, the food was delicious and plentiful. Staff very quick and funny with nice short conversation. Boss behind the counter also nice and friendly! We'd love to come back! You should definitely make a reservation, it is very busy!

Just really good food. Pure, without frills. With attention to nice little details. Recommended!

Very cozy atmosphere and nice service. The food was really great. Can only be recommended. Pretty much the best schnitzel I've eaten in recent times! Homemade sauces and the best quality meat (homemade breading). That's how it should be...Top!!!

If you like simple cuisine and don't expect quality, this is the place for you!

Just SUPER staff very friendly Only recommended

We really liked it and it was delicious. Very nice and friendly service.

It was a very nice evening. Everything went perfectly with a group of 25 people. Thank you and see you soon

Great food and delicious Pils and Kölsch in cozy rooms and very friendly hosts and service staff. Thank you all for your hospitality. v

The food tasted very good. The girls in service are very friendly. Only the gentleman behind the counter could be a little friendlier. But, everyone has a bad day sometimes.

Just had something to drink. The innkeeper had Eifler charm and belittled his service in front of the customers. We got out as quickly as possible. I'll never go to this restaurant again!

My husband and I stopped here for lunch yesterday. We were warmly welcomed by a quaint, friendly innkeeper and very friendly service. We ordered the best Altbier ever. Bolten Altbier. My husband ate onion schnitzel, very 😋. I chose natural herring with fried potatoes. Great matjes and fried potatoes, like my grandma's, We had a pleasant time in this rustic, cozy restaurant and would love to come back. Thank you very much to the host and the lovely service. Andrea and Johannes Bömer Hetzhof

Everything was good! Except that the goulash soup was very spicy for our taste and vinegar was cooked with the onions champions, which unfortunately didn't taste good. But that's taste. The schnitzel was great!!

Very friendly service in a well-kept brewery atmosphere. And all of this at absolutely reasonable prices. What more could you want - we would love to come back!

Always very comfortable. Great staff. 👍👍

Don’t come here to eat, my wife asked if we could sit at a table the waitress said yes then a grumpy old man told here to get up and sit at the table next to it. After we ordered another table of 2 people came and got the table that my wife had chosen and the waitress agreed to. That is unacceptable since the guests did it gave a reservation either, the greedy grumpy old man just did it to see if he could get a larger group of people and when he saw it didn’t work sat down the other 2 guests this was in less than 15 min time. Don’t leave your money here if on holiday.

Friendly staff, quick service, short waiting times, fair prices, happy to come again with a cycling group

Good tarte flambée, good service, good ambience, prices okay, what more could you want. Great shop hence 5 stars.

It was our first time eating here and it certainly won't be the last time. The food was very tasty and the service was very friendly and attentive. All in all a lovely evening! Simply recommended.

We had an excellent meal here in a rustic atmosphere. The service was super nice and very attentive

We were here today relatively by chance and decided on a pepper cream schnitzel and a currywurst special, both with fries. Both dishes were served very quickly and were prepared and decorated with a lot of love and attention to detail. Both ladies who served us were very friendly. However, the thought that it looked completely different there three years ago left a bad aftertaste. But one can say that this city and its restaurants, at least from the outside, have recovered. It remains to be hoped that something like this doesn't happen again to this extent. The address is saved and we would love to come back!

Super tasty spicy currywurst and staff absolutely top

We got a table quickly and were served by a friendly waitress. The food was really tasty and sufficient. In terms of price, everything was okay too.

Very pleasantly cool when it's hot. A great location.

We were in Bad Münstereifel today in fantastic weather and after a stroll through the city we ate there. The service was courteous and the Cordon Bleau was very tasty 😋. We will definitely come back again.

The food was great. The waitress seemed to have a lot to do. Everything took a little longer. You can sit well there. The place was pretty dark inside. Overall, a nice place to stay.

We had a good meal here. It was delicious and we received friendly service. A good place for a nice evening.

Nicely located in the middle of the old town

Down to earth, honest and good...

Well-kept restaurant. Tip Top renovated.

The service was not good, we had to wait almost an hour for our food, we were probably forgotten... One of the three dishes ordered seemed to have been reheated. Not really tasty

You can feel really comfortable there. The staff is very nice and also understands fun. Would love to come back

The waitresses are very, very friendly. Personally, the schnitzel was a bit too spicy for me. The fries were super crispy.

As always, it tasted very good, we'll be happy to come back, thank you

A nice cozy atmosphere in the guest room. Unfortunately I didn't know the guest room before the flood, but the reconstruction was successful. Very nice owners and service staff.

Nice, quiet place, but we were there on a weekday. We ordered two schnitzels, Wiener and paprika, plus beer. Everything was delicious. On the downside, there was no menu in English, apparently the clientele was mostly local.

A nice rustic restaurant with a menu where everyone will find something. The currywurst is awesome

Quaint restaurant with delicious food and great service.

We had tarte flambée and baked potatoes with salad for lunch. Both tasted good. The interior is rather dark which spoils the ambience a bit. The service was OK, you were rather sober.

Staff didn't acknowledge us and left

We had Em Höttchen for lunch with 15 people. Everyone was very satisfied. Delicious food and very friendly service.

Best schnitzel in town! We always stop in this restaurant when visiting Bad Munstereifel.

Cozy restaurant, with very friendly service. The food was tasty, but I didn't like the fact that a side salad was offered, which was then charged extra. I don't know that

Very nice and friendly service, delicious food and the passion fruit spritzer was also very good. You can recommend Em Höttchen with a clear conscience!

Great food! The schnitzels are highly recommended!

Very cozy restaurant, with very nice employees and good food. Good value for money! Everything fine! We would love to come back here.

Right in the heart of Bad Münstereifel and after severe damage caused by the flood, this traditional family business has returned to its former strength. There is a legendary currywurst but also tarte flambée, brawn, crusty goulash and other delicious dishes. There are also sumptuous healthy salads. We have always received very friendly service and have been 100% satisfied. The Trappist beer is also highly recommended.

Yesterday we went to the restaurant for dinner. Without a reservation with a few people, everything was no problem. Super delicious food, very friendly service. Thanks to the woman for the nice service. Sorry again that I spilled my coke 🙈😂. Only recommended 👍

Very tasty food and nice service. Can just be recommended! Top!

Home-style cooking with very nice service; The atmosphere, especially in the courtyard, can be improved.

Dear Em Höttchen team, Yesterday on May Day we had the pleasure of dining in your beautiful restaurant. We liked it very much! We were very impressed by the hospitality of your entire team. The food - we ate a mixed salad plate with sheep's cheese, a mushroom cream schnitzel and a cordon bleu - was of exceptionally good quality. We have rarely been able to enjoy such a tasty and consistently fresh salad. All in all, thank you very much for the wonderful time you gave us! We look forward to our next visit and send you warm greetings to beautiful Bad Münstereifel! Michael & Janet

A beautiful restaurant with a small terrace in the restored old town of Bad Münstereifel, right on the Erft. Because it's asparagus season, I ordered asparagus with cooked ham, triplets and holandaise sauce and drank a Bitburger Pils with it. It took a while for the food to arrive; The reason was that the dish was freshly prepared - and as we all know, that takes time. It tasted excellent. This restaurant is absolutely recommended, especially since the prices are quite “civilian” and have not been raised due to the season (asparagus season!), as is currently the case. often found. I can fully recommend the restaurant if you are in Bad Münstereifel.

Enjoy your meal. Service a bit inattentive. Equipment, well

Nice, rustic atmosphere. Service friendly and quick. Food wasn't as good as hoped. The fries were unusually dark, but tasted normal. Schnitzel is actually very tasty, but unfortunately the sauces destroy the entire dish. Far too powerful and above all far too sweet. All in all, 3 stars. Too expensive for the quality.

Nice to sit and have a drink, quick and friendly service

Good brewery food very tasty Bon appetit!

The ambience appealed to us, cozy and inviting....but the service was in the opposite mood....so we only stayed for a drink and didn't eat there...it's a shame

Ate and drank well and were served very nicely.

Food good, ambience like in the canteen. The landlord a reason not to go in

Nice service with an eye for the guests. The kitchen does a good job, tasty and plentiful. Cozy Brauhaus ambience with well-kept beer and a clear and varied menu. I will come back!!

We were there on Sunday at 1:30 p.m. and had reserved a table for 4 people. The service was very friendly and our food was very good. Here you can get a delicious tarte flambée and schnitzel. Price/performance ratio is definitely okay, we'll be back.

Had schnitzel with fries, very tasty.

We ate here after a stroll and a long search. The food was really very tasty and well prepared Service friendly and accommodating. Will come back.

Very pleasant atmosphere. The food was very tasty, extremely plentiful and the service was friendly and attentive.

Very nice, cozy restaurant. Food was very tasty.

We came on a Sunday evening without a reservation and got a table for two right away. The service was very friendly and our food was very good. There is great tarte flambée here! Price performance is definitely okay.

Not special. Older couple who were not particularly welcoming on arrival, but not unfriendly either. Delicious Flammkuchen! Reasonable salad

Everything fresh and homemade. From the freshly cut schnitzel to the super delicious homemade fries. One small point of criticism, I found Cola too expensive.

It was super tasty 😋. The service was very accommodating and nice. We enjoyed the stay and will definitely come back.

Nice restaurant in the historic center of Bad Munstereifel. All the dishes we ordered were tasty, especially the flammkuchen. Affordable prices A minus is the lack of communication in English, it's hard for me to understand it when I'm in a tourist city. Anyway, I recommend it

Got a table straight away. The soup was also delicious.

Gemütliches Lokal mit Esprit. Die Wirtin wippte gekonnt den ganzen Laden. Sehr frischer und leckerer Beilagensalat

231229 Tagesausflug nach Bad Münstereifel bei trockenem Wetter. Nach einem Bummel durchs Städtchen sind wir hier zur Mittagszeit eingekehrt. Das Lokal war sehr gut besucht, wir hatten den letzten Tisch für Zwei. Das Ambiente ist urig und gemütlich, alles sehr sauber, auch die Toilette. Der Service war aufmerksam und freundlich, das Essen (Schnitzel) war sehr lecker. Die Portionen waren gut, Preis-Leistungsverhältnis absolut in Ordnung.

Hier ist man „Willkommen!“ 😊 So geht Gastfreundlichkeit und Service. Eine sehr gemütliche, kleine Gastwirtschaft mit tollem Ambiente,leckerem Essen und freundlichen, herzlichen Menschen hinter der Theke und im Speiseraum. Vielen lieben Dank! Wir werden euch wider Besuchen! 😊😁

Wir wollten nur etwas trinken und haben uns an die Theke gesetzt. Nach Flut-Totalschaden wirklich sehr gut neu aufgebaut, meinen allergrößter Respekt. Das Bier perfekt gezapft ! Meine Empfehlung: Trappist, La Trappe 😋 Danke für das informative Gespräch 👍

Sehr leckere Essen.Bedienung Ambiente Kosten alles ok.
