Forsthaus Weiden in Aachen

Congratulations to the chef, I highly recommend the knuckle of pork 👍 Crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside Best regards, Konrad

This was our first time there. The forester's lodge is located in the middle of the forest. If you don't know the way, you should be a bit careful, even though there are signs everywhere. We had a table in the "Wanderzimmer" (hiking room), which we really enjoyed. The food was excellent. Well-seasoned (which I personally liked, as you often have to add more seasoning) and plentiful. The value for money was in line with the dishes we had: pumpkin soup, beef carpaccio, venison, and steak. The prices for other dishes were also reasonable. Our service was very friendly. We would gladly return. We had made a reservation online. That didn't work so well this time, but it could also have been due to a typo on my part. Otherwise, I think this system is great. The portions were generous. A full 5 for this. Update: Unfortunately, it seems that reservations and entries don't always work out. It happened to us again. They didn't even have us on their list. Luckily for us, a few tables were still free – it was very busy. I think we would have been out of luck otherwise. At the salad buffet, several containers were completely empty and hadn't been refilled, which I found disappointing considering the time of day. Since it was full and we had to wait a long time for the food, I didn't mind. But I can still expect a full salad buffet. Since we were the last customers, they started clearing everything away around 8:30 p.m. It was a pleasant lingering experience, far away from the crowd. It's a shame, as I've always been satisfied. Except for the issue with the reservations we'd booked, which unfortunately didn't turn up. I didn't feel comfortable at all this time. I found everything very stressful. I had imagined a different kind of 70th birthday. So, I'm keeping my distance for now. What a shame.

Very nice restaurant, but the food wasn't any better than you'd get at a regular snack bar. Schnitzel from a package Sauce over-seasoned and too fatty Mayo in a small jar After being asked if we liked it, we gave our honest opinion. For us, it was a disappointment.

Yes, very friendly, clean, very 😋 delicious food

Recommended. The plates were appetizingly prepared, and the portions were generous. The salad buffet was okay.

This was not our first visit to Forsthaus Weiden, but certainly our last.

Very remote. Fast service, good food, high prices.

We stopped for coffee during a bike ride and were completely satisfied. We can recommend the Forsthaus.

Very nice service and good quality

Stopped here for dinner on the way home. Beautiful spot in the middle of a walking and cycling area. They have a lunch menu for a reasonable price. Friendly service and delicious food.

Home-style cooking with a sophisticated twist, without the frills of Michelin-starred cuisine. A straightforward, changing menu. Highly recommended.

Hello everyone... Table reservation required. Sat outside on the terrace with friends - a wonderful view of the greenery... Starter, main course, and dessert were very tasty, and the eye was completely satisfied. Restrooms spacious and clean. BUT our server - rarely have we had a very attentive, polite (not too pushy) young man - who charmingly accommodated our requests. I highly recommend this place.

Always happy to go back; delicious food. The service is generally very friendly and courteous. However, there is one waiter who makes me want to leave the restaurant immediately. This person never laughs and is sometimes even rude. That this isn't just my impression is confirmed by conversations with acquaintances and friends who also dislike this waiter. I realize that in times of staff shortages, there are few alternatives, but from the guest's perspective, it's a shame if this leads to people avoiding an otherwise lovely restaurant.

Once is never, twice is once too many... the third time there are consequences. We actually always enjoyed going to the Forsthaus because the food was always good and the people were nice. Since the coronavirus pandemic, the service has unfortunately been steadily declining due to a lack of staff. 😔 We already had the experience on the terrace in 2024 where the already somewhat unfriendly service employee simply took care of new arrivals while taking orders. It's a bit of a respect thing... Last week, we made an online reservation for cake on the terrace. Unfortunately, it's apparently not possible to order online, but the selection is available. After we then announced that it was cake, the table was cleared of "normal" cutlery very hectically and with an obviously very annoyed expression. And for the third time, today, June 30, 2025, we arrived from Alsdorf by bike... actually to eat potato pancakes, knowing that we probably wouldn't get them after lunch. Still hungry... before I even asked if he had a table available for our number of people, the employee very rudely interrupted me with the statement, "There's nothing to eat." Only the terrace at the front for drinks. When I pointed out that we weren't necessarily there for the potato pancakes, I was again annoyed and dismissively told that they couldn't offer anything to eat. Interestingly, all times could still be reserved online 🤔 Technology that inspires. Obviously, we no longer fit the customer profile, but since this has happened several times now, we will definitely not go to this place again. Too bad, because the food was always really delicious. But if they don't want my money, I'll spend it elsewhere. Too bad... Mr. Hirtz should send his service employees (since they don't have any proper staff left) to training courses on how to communicate politely and properly... they could have simply acted in a friendly and sympathetic manner again, instead of being annoyed and dismissive again. For these prices, you'd expect more. Conclusion: The food is still 👍🏻 Service: Terribly bad. Atmosphere: Old, rustic, but clean and OK.

Very good food, friendly service.

See good food...and beautiful location..

Friendly staff. Nice terrace, luckily also shady. We had good coffee.

short visit, but I must say that it is a really beautiful ambience.

Nice guests, good service. The food was rather expensive and so-so. The portions were rather meager, and the schnitzel and fries were very greasy. The coffee tasted like coffee crumbs/flavoring. So, a high price for mediocre food, which I think is rather poorly prepared. There's definitely room for improvement here! We thought the salad buffet was very good!

Cakes great selection and very tasty, good coffee, beautiful summer terrace

Great place. Great food, a beautiful location in the middle of the forest, a great outdoor terrace, and friendly and attentive service. It's also fully wheelchair accessible. My compliments to the owners 👍

Lunch is inexpensive, the food is delicious, and the service is good. The ambiance is very rustic and old-fashioned.

Very good location, ideal for a stopover, especially for dog lovers and cyclists. Service is always attentive and friendly. After reading the reviews, I've come to the conclusion that most visitors have no basic knowledge of good food. This particularly applies to preparing a good schnitzel. The sauce is always served separately. The sauerbraten sauce lacked oomph, and the roast should have marinated longer. The cappuccino was very tasty, with a good consistency. Prices are standard.

Beautifully located restaurant in the middle of the forest! We were on the terrace in beautiful weather – the view of the forest is stunning, and the secluded location means you can't hear any traffic noise. The food was solid overall. The Sauerbraten in particular was very good and definitely recommended! A few details could be improved: The appetizer served was a toasted sandwich – we would have preferred fresher bread, such as herb butter or a baguette. Unfortunately, the staff are often not very customer-oriented. On our first visit, we were told in a blanket manner that there were no more seats available. When a colleague of the staff member noticed this, he pointed out that there were still plenty of seats available on the terrace. Today, we were turned away again. Google Maps says the kitchen is open until 8:30 p.m. When we arrived shortly after 8:00 p.m., we were told that the kitchen was only open until 7:30 p.m. When asked, they simply explained that the boss wasn't there and they had no idea what was going on. Overall, my impression is unfortunately rather mixed.

There were 8 of us guests at this restaurant and we were served very well.

It's one of the more conservative establishments in the area, which isn't meant to be derogatory. The food is very good, although the prices are a bit higher, but still reasonable. It's beautifully situated in the Würselen forest. Very well-maintained grounds with a lovely view of the garden. The staff is very attentive and friendly.

Das Essen war bestenfalls Durchschnitt. Preis und Leistung passen nicht! Die Spargelcremesuppe war sicher nicht frisch zubereitet. Das Schweine- und Rinderfilet und der Fisch waren zumindest gut und auf den Punkt zubereitet. Die Sossen, das haben alle so empfunden, konnten da geschmacklich leider überhaupt nicht mithalten. Den Sherry in der Senfsosse z.B. konnten wir nicht herausschmecken. Eine Gemüsebeilage gab es nicht, stattdessen Fertigsalate an der Selbstbedienungstheke. Das alles wäre noch ok, wenn denn wenigstens der Service gestimmt hätte. Ein Dessert oder Kaffe wurde uns nicht angeboten, also haben wir darauf verzichtet. Ein Kellner war penetrant aufdringlich und unfreundlich, da hat es am Ende noch nicht einmal zu einer Verabschiedung gereicht. Bestenfalls Mittelmass, schade das war nix….wir hatten angesichts der anderen Bewertungen mehr erwartet.

The food was delicious. I can only recommend it 😁

Schönes Ambiente, freundliches Personal und hervorragendes Essen. Ausgezeichnetes Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis

Fünf Sterne sind fast zu wenig! Das Essen im Forsthaus Weiden ist schlichtweg phänomenal – eine echte Geschmacksexplosion bei jedem Besuch! Qualität, Frische und Zubereitung sind auf allerhöchstem Niveau. Auch der Service lässt keine Wünsche offen: aufmerksam, herzlich und professionell. Ich kenne weit und breit kein Restaurant, das diese Kombination aus Genuss und Gastfreundschaft so perfekt beherrscht. Ein großes Lob an das gesamte Team – macht weiter so! Mit freundlichen Grüßen Malms D

Hier beim Team von Markus Hirtz ist alles toll: Von Anfang bis zum Verabschieden ist immer alles sehr sympathisch und persönlich. Wunderbares Essen, langes Warten gibt es nicht, Nachfragen, ob noch was fehlt und Empfehlungen. Wir freuen uns schon auf das nächste Mal! Beste Grüße Wolfgang & Karin Komuth

Very high-quality food. Absolutely delicious! Lots of older people, but also good with children because there's a bouncy castle outside. You can take a nice walk in the forest afterward.

Attentive and friendly service, delicious food.

Restaurant oder Airline? Ich hatte im April für Mitte Mai reserviert und am Morgen des vereinbarten Tages auch eine Erinnerung erhalten - das lief gut. Allerdings als wir dann dort waren hat man uns mitegeteilt das Resturant wäre überfüllt und die Küche hätte "nichts mehr außer ein paar Schnitzel". Sowas ist mir noch nie passiert. Bravo! Da die Anreise schon blöd war (um Verlautenheide herum, über Stolberg!!!) werden wir das wohl nicht nochmal versuchen. Dann lieber in die Innstadt.

We've been meaning to eat there for a long time. Friendly and attentive service. Food of very good quality and very tasty. And all at reasonable prices.

Very comfortable, I can recommend it.

When we ordered a table for our wedding, we were told that we would be allowed to dine in a separate room. But that was no longer the case on the wedding day. We had barely been at the table for 10 minutes and suddenly an older lady appeared and forbade our loudness. We wouldn't be alone in this restaurant. If such people go into the basement to laugh, they should stay there and not spoil the mood of other guests on a special day. But okay, there are always sick people. We were also annoyed by the salad buffet, where there were salad bowls and plates. One of our guests took a plate and helped himself to the buffet. This was reprimanded. You were only allowed to take salad bowls. Plates were for a different category. How would you know that? Something like that really upsets you. Then I asked for a teaspoon. This was not available after 10 minutes. Service staff seemed to be very overwhelmed that day. Conclusion: There are better places with friendlier staff.

Very nice family-run restaurant In a very nice environment. Food good, service good. Have been here several times and will come back.

Great food, nice outdoor area. Starters came quickly, but unfortunately we had to wait a little too long for the main courses. We would still love to come back

Very tasty food, friendly and attentive staff. It was very good

It's always worth making a reservation at the Weiden forester's lodge. Plenty of parking spaces (free of charge) available. Afterwards there are beautiful walks for digestion For the weekend: reserve early.

We got a table for 4 people for Easter Sunday at relatively short notice. There was a slimmed down “EASTER CARD”. We ordered different dishes. All 4 were of the opinion: it was really tasty. The food came pretty quickly and was served by very nice staff. We were very satisfied all around. We'd love to come back. Many thanks to the entire team.

Es hat alles gepasst. Wir hatten einen schönen Abend hier verbracht. Nicht nur die Bewirtung, sondern auch das Essen verdient die höchste Benotung.

Food was very good, but high prices.

I was at the Forsthaus Weiden with my family today and it was just great! The atmosphere is really good – cozy and inviting, perfect for relaxing. The food was delicious, especially the steak, which was just a treat! The preparation was perfect and the taste was simply great. A big compliment to the service! She was super friendly and very accommodating, especially the way she dealt with my kids - really great! We all felt very comfortable and will definitely come back. Highly recommended.

Highly recommended, we were there at coffee time, the cake was great and the piece was quite large

Super Küche!!! Egal wie die Bestellung auch ausfällt. Reichlich und lecker. Mittwochs super Reibekuchen! Nette Bedienung. Wie kommen gerne wieder.

Yesterday, we went to the Forsthaus Weiden for a birthday dinner with seven adults and our 3.5-year-old granddaughter. A warm welcome and friendly staff, who even took the time to have a little chat with our grandchild. The food and dessert (cake and ice cream, respectively) were plentiful and delicious. Everyone returned home feeling extremely satisfied and are already looking forward to our next visit to the Forsthaus.

Very tasty food, very nice people there. The only drawback is the way there. Since the forester's lodge is so idyllically located in the forest, getting there is not easy. We went there using Google Maps and had to take a lot of dirt roads that weren't supposed to be driven on. But since there were signs pointing to the restaurant, we took them.

I recommend it, very tasty, excellent service, large selection of salads on the all inclusive table

Wir waren heute hier zum ersten Mal und waren von dem schönen urigen Gebäude und der modernen Terrasse begeistert. Der Service war super professionell und zuvorkommend und das Essen sehr lecker. Wir kommen aufjedenfall wieder!

I would like to thank you again for the delicious food

The Forsthaus Weiden impresses with a combination of tasty food, friendly service and an inviting ambience. It is a recommended address for anyone who wants to enjoy traditional cuisine in a relaxed environment in Aachen.

Always worth a visit. Great restaurant.

Unfortunately, you were treated like a second-class human being just because you are young. The reservation I made was “unfortunately” not found and the waiter then called me out afterwards. Too bad. Not recommended for young people. For pensioners, you fit in well, but you can also just wear a shirt.

Definitely good. Quality service overall friendliness

We recently ate at Forsthaus Weiden and absolutely loved it! The food is excellent - great selection, so everyone can find something, and the portions are generous, the salad buffet is very rich, you definitely go home full. The staff is super friendly and attentive, which makes the stay even more pleasant. Particularly noteworthy is the reliable online reservation - everything went smoothly. The location is perfect: enough parking spaces directly at the restaurant and a fantastic terrace with a beautiful view of nature. The terrace is particularly recommended on sunny days - here you can enjoy nature and simply relax. We'll definitely be back!

Been there again after a long time and definitely not the last time. Great cuisine, very friendly staff, beautifully located...in the middle of nature.

Very nice location in the forest. Delicious food and attentive service

Anlässlich einer Geburtstagsfeier wurde alles erstklassig arrangiert. Tolle Getränke und Speisenauswahl. Sehr freundliche Bedienung. Alles gut.

Ordered the recommendation of the day this evening, uniquely good. Big thanks to the kitchen New Zealand lamb fillet with a garlic herb sauce, bacon beans and fried potatoes The Weiden forester's lodge is located in the middle of the forest and has numerous parking spaces. In summer there is a large terrace.

Very nicely located in the forest, Service and food are exceptionally good. We'll definitely be back.👍

Delicious food, nice ambience, only the waiter allowed himself to say a very “inappropriate” comment

Essen 1, Service 1 . Hatte eine sehr schöne Geburtstagsfeier dank Forsthaus Weiden. Danke . Es war alles super. Ist sehr empfehlenswert.

I'm here often. Rustic German cuisine with a regional twist. So far the food has always been good. However, the tone and friendliness of some of the waiters is not appropriate for the profession.

We found this restaurant spontaneously and are very excited On Wednesdays there are potato pancakes The quality of the food was very good Everything was perfect

At the suggestion of friends, we have rubbed here for the first time with prior registration. eaten cake. Since we have this also on various occasions ordered from other locations we can say this one were the highlight for us.

As always great. Service, price/performance and quality are simply right here. I've been here often and have never been disappointed.

This was our second time there. There are plenty of parking spaces, but they are very muddy in bad weather. The restaurant is in the forest and not everything is paved. The service was always quick and friendly. And the Winterkiche Spritz is a welcome change. The food was hot and plentiful and everything we had was very tasty...potato soup, beef broth, etc. The drinks were also great and all at fair prices. We will be happy to remain guests

Very tasty and everything totally fresh. Service was super nice. Prices absolutely reasonable. Today I wanted to make a reservation for 16 people. During the phone call there was arguing and shouting in the background. Impossible - you couldn't understand your own words. The gentleman on the phone asked 3 times what time he wanted. Well then not! As I said, it was about 16 people!!!

We come here often because the food is delicious! The service is also great and the atmosphere on the terrace is also wonderful! You should reserve seats in advance!

3.5 stars. Food down-to-earth and absolutely fine. If you have to pre-order mussel dishes, it would make sense to tell you this in a short sentence when making the reservation over the phone.

Price performance/top Service/attentive but not annoying Ambience/cozy Me and my friends have never been disappointed here.

Celebrated my wife's 70th birthday today. Food and service were great. Definitely coming back. Thank you for everything!!!

Lots of decorations for Christmas; Food very tasty; Unfortunately there was no drinks menu when we were there. Service mostly good.

Great local, the orders are always ready and the quality is very good 👍

We regularly meet up with a classic car cub.

Anlass war die Goldhochzeit von meiner Frau und mir. Ich kann nur sehr positives Berichten. Alles bestens, vor extra erstellten Speisekarte sogar mit Hochzeitsbild Und einer vorzüglicher Speisenauswahl. Die Bedienung war vorzüglich. Wir waren alle begeistert (16 Personen). Man kann das Forsthaus nur bestens empfehlen! Nochmals vielen Dank an Herrn Hirtz und Team!!

Not very special, but quite reasonable for the price. 1.5 euros for three teaspoons of mayonnaise.. Fries were very nice and crispy!

Always my pleasure. Good food in a cozy atmosphere. Very friendly service.

After a nice walk you are welcome with your dog

Wir waren speziell da für die Reibekuchen. Die sind spitze!!

Wenn jemand gut Essen, der ist hier an der richtigen Adresse. Wir kommen seit Jahren dort hin, in gewissen Abständen und wir haben uns jedesmal darauf gefreut, ausser natürlich beim Beerdigungskaffee, aber auch den haben wir dort schon abgehalten. Ich kann die teilweise schlechte Kritik im Internet nicht verstehen, wenn jemand meint, diese Lokation zu kritisieren, der sollte sich einen döner am Bahnhof holen, aber nicht so ein Lokal mit solchem herzblut der Inhaber versuchen, kaputt zu machen. Jedenfalls das Essen, dieses Mal wieder Sahne schnitzel war so heiß und so lecker das ich mir den Mund fast verbrannt habe Die Kellner welche immer bemüht sind alle wünsche zu erfüllen haben auch dieses Mal wieder ihr bestes gegeben . Ich warte nur noch darauf, dass sich ueber das toilettenpapier beschwert wird, dass es zu dünn ist, dann tick ich aus

Super delicious food, great service!

Super good food and very friendly staff, great decorations for Christmas time. Even more beautiful outside in the summer. Always a pleasure!

Very good cuisine and very professional staff.

Old forester's house in the middle of the forest, but easy to reach from two directions. Very good cuisine, inexpensive lunch with a delicious salad buffet. Well attended, so reserve in advance. Child-friendly, beautiful covered outdoor terrace in summer, enough parking space available. Cuisine varied with seasonally changing dishes. Wednesdays are potato pancakes day. We've been eating there for years and have always been satisfied. Very well maintained outdoor area and always tastefully decorated inside.

Very, very tasty. Great, very friendly service. Gladly again.

Very good food. Unfortunately, the service staff often seem overworked and as if they don't enjoy their job much. However, that's my subjective feeling and it's not like that every day. Otherwise a good address.

Very tasty main course, as well as the soup before it, and a sophisticated dessert, for €14.90, we were thrilled

Very tasty lunch and delicious salad buffet! Great cake offer!

Nach langer Zeit wieder ein Restaurant mit sehr gutem Service, wohlschmeckenden Speisen die von Erfahrung zollen und dazu angemessene Preise. Das Ambiente passt zu einem Forsthaus. Wir werden nicht zum letzten Mal dort gewesen sein. Unsere Empfehlung

Very nice restaurant in the middle of the forest. Friendly staff. Nice ambience. Delicious food Reservation is an advantage

Nice restaurant in the middle of nowhere. Coming by car on a Sunday afternoon when the weather is nice is annoying because of the narrow path and the many hikers/pedestrians and possibly oncoming traffic. In the fireplace room, large plexiglass panels hang between the tables, probably from the times of the pandemic. The food is down-to-earth, good and tasty, but not cheap. The presentation on the plate is rather old-fashioned and careless, like in a canteen. The staff attentive. Good salad buffet. The delicious food is served just a few minutes after ordering, and you haven't even drunk half of the aperitif - a shame (again, that cafeteria feeling). Since the restaurant is busy and we don't feel like rushing around, we probably won't go there again.

Perfect for switching off and eating good food

Great restaurant with great cuisine, the outside terrace is very nice, it's a bit like a holiday feeling.

On Sunday we were drinking coffee on the sun terrace with two small children and were served by a waiter. After one of the children answered the gentleman's question a little louder, the waiter verbally attacked the child. We have never experienced such aggressive and child-unfriendly behavior in a restaurant. He didn't thank us for our tip.

Nice as always. Nice service also in the outdoor area when we are there with the horses for a quick snack and drink.

To visit on the weekend, call early and make a reservation. Food was very tasty.

Very good cuisine in the "middle" price segment. Good: not just the standard norm dishes. Best with starter and dessert I can only recommend it!
