Gaststätte Kaiser in Hannover

We ordered goose in advance and it was delicious; they even brought us extra gravy, and the service was attentive and friendly. At the next table, they served a very appetizing schnitzel, chicken salad, and steak. We received a great recommendation for an aperitif: plenty of water, coffee, and a beer, and we each paid €48 – a fantastic culinary experience! Thank you to the kitchen and the staff; we'll definitely be back! It was truly excellent!

It's great that there are still restaurants like this in Hanover. I haven't been here for a few years, but nothing has deteriorated. A charming pub in the northern part of the city with delicious food. Whether you're here with a group of 20 for a Christmas party, a couple for dinner, or just for a beer, I've made up for lost time over the past four weeks and have always been extremely satisfied. The service is excellent, the food is fresh and delicious, the portions are generous, and the atmosphere is just right.

Hospitality is always in style! Anyone who appreciates a rustic atmosphere, honest and good cuisine, and wonderful service will feel right at home here.

Best schnitzel ever... Super friendly staff!! Highly recommended.

As always, great 👍. This time we had kale. 😋

Delicious food and very friendly staff despite the restaurant being packed.

A charming little corner pub with super friendly service and delicious food. Reservations are recommended, even for just two people. We were lucky and managed to snag the last two seats. Highly recommended, and we'll definitely be back! 👍👍👍👍👍😋

Wonderful neighborhood "pub" with a restaurant feel

Food was amazing. The service was great. Will definitely be going back. Also make sure you make a reservation. I was fortunate to be there early and got lucky.

A reservation for Wednesday evening was absolutely necessary, and yet we still only got a very small and rickety table. The wait for the food was acceptable, but the desserts took far too long. My cappuccino was already cold by the time the apple strudel arrived. The goulash was very tasty and tender, but the beef roulade was unfortunately much too salty. The beef steak was cooked perfectly medium-rare, yet still too tough. The panna cotta was much too sweet for my taste. The apple strudel was truly outstanding, the best I've had in a long time. Card payments accepted for orders over €10 👍🏻

Delicious food... fast and good service... Quaint, original pub...

Great place, we came from out of town, others might have a different opinion, but for us it was simply a fantastic restaurant 👍🏻

It's a cozy, quirky pub in the northern part of town, known for its schnitzel. They also have a huge selection of spirits. We ordered the regular schnitzel, and it was sensational: crispy, airy breading, the meat was incredibly tender, and it was enormous. We also tried the venison schnitzel with homemade spaetzle from the seasonal menu. The breading was good, but the meat was a bit tough (which is fairly normal for game). However, the size and the spaetzle were excellent. Overall, we were very satisfied.

Always a pleasure. The atmosphere is wonderfully old-fashioned, the beer is cold, and almost all the guests speak in an academic manner.

A lovely, elegant restaurant with delicious food (venison goulash) and good draft beers. The service was excellent, as it should be.

Large portions at normal prices and friendly staff

For me, the Kaiser restaurant is a really honest place, no frills, but with heart. As soon as I walked in, I got that classic pub feeling: dark wood, familiar faces, and the smell of good food in the air. Just my thing. The food? Down-to-earth and delicious. I had a schnitzel that was perfectly cooked, crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Plus a freshly tapped beer, and the evening was complete. You can tell straight away that the food is cooked with love, not just thrown in. What I particularly like is that the staff are really friendly, without seeming fake. They recognize you, they greet you, it feels a bit like coming home. For me, the Kaiser is a place where you go after work, switch off, and just have a good time. No trends, no hype, just honest, cozy, and typically Hanover.

Delicious, regional food and freshly tapped Herrenhäuser beer!

A German gem in the northern part of the city! It was my first time dining there. I had the venison goulash with red cabbage and spaetzle. The price of €25.99 seemed steep at first, but it was completely justified. The portion size was absolutely sufficient, and the flavor was truly impressive! I would come back anytime. Thank you for the lovely evening.

Very good, down-to-earth cuisine and very attentive service. We celebrated our birthdays there with the whole family. The drinks selection was fantastic, especially the whiskeys. We had to wait a bit for the gypsy sauce, but that was okay. It was packed to the last seat, which speaks for itself. We'll definitely go back.

Unfortunately, I also have to criticize the venison goulash. Many things at Kaiser are delicious, but the kitchen failed here. For €25.50, I expect more than spaetzle that were baked so crispy they tasted like French fries, venison goulash with an unpleasantly sour note, and red cabbage that was overseasoned and therefore tasted artificial. It's a shame, and it doesn't help if the waitress thanks me for the candid feedback.

A well-attended, traditional restaurant in the Nordstadt district. I highly recommend reserving a table. My schnitzel was perfect, but my companion's fish and chips weren't as good. Hence only four stars for the food.

The thing has a soul. Everything is good. Something real and down-to-earth. There's a lot to discover and to puzzle over the story behind it.

Very good restaurant with high-quality food. We were very satisfied.

An old restaurant with a fantastic clientele (young and old). Great food, generous portions. This won't be my last visit to the Kaiser.

A restaurant and cozy pub rolled into one. We were wonderfully served on a very spontaneous weekday evening around 8:30 p.m. with a large group. The veal schnitzel was sticking out of the plate on both sides and tasted delicious.

Definitely worth a visit: classic German cuisine, good service, and a cozy atmosphere.

Traditional German food. Beautifully presented. Generous portions and delicate preparation.

The pork medallions with plenty of salad were very tasty.

The soup was delicious, the schnitzel truly excellent, and the beer very good as well. Everything was accompanied by impeccable service: the two girls were absolutely outstanding, incredibly kind, professional, and always attentive. They made the whole experience even more enjoyable! :)

Simple, truly delicious food, very friendly service in a traditional Hannover restaurant, especially in the northern part of the city. If you like that kind of food, this is the place for you. We'd love to go back!

Finally, a restaurant where you get value for money. The price/performance ratio is 100 percent right. I highly recommend the schnitzel with fried potatoes and chanterelle mushrooms. The service was very friendly. I'd be happy to come back. Thank you.

Two of us stopped in spontaneously, received super friendly service, and a delicious meal. Top-notch! We'd be happy to go back!

Delicious. Authentic. Rustic. Authentic, authentic. Delicious chanterelle spaetzle, delicious beer. Great atmosphere and service. Recommended!

A real insider tip for schnitzel. Highly recommended, and the value for money is also good.

A very original, student-oriented atmosphere; the menu reflects this. Very friendly and personal service, and excellent value for money!

Unfortunately the asparagus wasn't done yet.

The food was very good, we will come again.

Everything was good. Good service and good food in a cozy place.

Kaisers is definitely a rustic restaurant with charm. The decor may remind some of English pubs, but it's inviting and, as mentioned at the beginning, exudes a charm all its own. We started with the cream of asparagus soup and chicken soup, followed by the Expo and Andy plates. All dishes were very tasty, beautifully presented, and more than plentiful. We particularly loved the salad garnish, which wasn't your run-of-the-mill iceberg lettuce with white cabbage, but a small, very tasty carrot salad and a mix of leaf salads and red cabbage. The selection of beers, drinks, and, if you like, the various whiskeys is second to none. Our visit was rounded out by the truly friendly and attentive service, who guided us through the evening very well; we'd be happy to come back.

The best price-performance ratio.

Very well received, setting and atmosphere at the top 👍. Fairly fast service, smiling and helpful staff. Very well eaten and large plate. You have to be really hungry to finish. Simple good. Far from tourists.

The Kaiser was quaint, cozy and away from tourists. I felt super comfortable. The selection of dishes is great and the decision is not made easy. I chose the sirloin steak with salad, no fries and my companion chose the matjes. Unfortunately, I completely forgot that I like the meat rare. But the male service worker also forgot to ask about it. Unfortunately, when it occurred to me and I told the waitress, it was too late. I would have been happy to receive an apology. Or is my expectation that I asked for it too high? As a result, everything was very tasty. Thank you

Good and tasty cuisine, friendly staff

Two men, in the evening in Hanover, in a corner pub. Very great and rustic atmosphere to feel good, clear menu. Starter salad fresh and very tasty. For the main course there was the venison goulash with spaetzle and red cabbage, which unfortunately wasn't as perfect as the salad. Spaetzle were a bit dry and the red cabbage was certainly not fresh, but rather from a jar and therefore had a lot of clove flavor. The main focus here is probably on the Wiener Schnitzel, which looked very good on the other tables and was ordered a lot. The attention and service were very good, so we had a few beers after our meal. Thanks

….great honest pub/restaurant. Extra schnitzel menu, friendly staff, no fancy stuff. Reservation helpful. Feels like Hanover inside. Gladly again. Food great.

To a foreigner, this is what an authentic German bar should look like. Tasty simple food, tasty beer, low prices

Delicious home made food at good prices. Very comfy place.

The schnitzel was simply delicious... 😋

A pub with a clear menu. Tastes good. Priced within the usual range. Staff is friendly.

Nice Gaststaette pretty good Food. Friendly service

An absolute must visit, even if the word probably doesn't exist. Tradition meets everyone.

Authentic pub, almost Rhenish, very good food and a good selection of draft beer. Possibility of darting, places for two or groups of around 6-8 people.

Great quaint corner pub in the northern part of town. The employees are all very friendly and attentive, even when the restaurant is full. In addition to a large selection of whiskey, there is delicious food. It is typical home cooking from schnitzel to currywurst and kale. Everything was very tasty and recommended.

I've been a guest since 1985, so for 40 years. Temporarily, opposite the university institute, every week. I believe that says it all.

My second living room in years. Good home-style food for every taste and budget. Plenty of whiskey to try and get to know. Arran Amarone, for example, a taste explosion on the tongue 😝 the dessert is always a nice ending. Here you are an EMPEROR.......

Super cozy corner pub, with good home cooking. The food and service are great. A visit is always worth it. A table may need to be reserved for larger groups, as the shop is usually very busy.

Old German cuisine, delicious beer.

Rustic, long-established Nordstadt restaurant. Nothing newfangled... just gotta love it.

The Kaisers restaurant in Hanover's Nordstadt is a true gem for lovers of a rustic atmosphere and delicious, traditional cuisine. The rustic interior creates a cozy and relaxed atmosphere, ideal for an evening with friends or family. The food is excellent: hearty, fresh and prepared with a lot of heart. The seasonal dishes and classics of the kitchen (schnitzel) in particular impress with their taste and quality. The portion sizes also leave nothing to be desired. The service is friendly and attentive, making you feel completely comfortable as a guest. Conclusion: Rustic, very tasty and a real highlight of the northern city! 5 out of 5 stars.

Nice, rustic pub with delicious food and good service

The iconic district restaurant in Nordstadt with a great ambience, friendly and quick service and excellent rustic, hearty cuisine.

Has the charm of a local pub where you can eat really well!

Good selection, delicious cuisine, nice staff and pleasant atmosphere, will definitely come back ;)

Always worth a visit. Where else can you find home cooking in such a rustic atmosphere? The selection of hard liquor is also unique. They particularly specialize in whiskey.

Everything is great. Wonderfully eaten, unexpectedly good for a so-called corner restaurant Gladly again. Friendly service

I've been there a few times to have a drink with friends. The service is super friendly, even when it's busy. Today we ate. It's been a long time since I had a really good schnitzel and fried potatoes that were actually homemade. I'll stop by more often and I'm looking forward to the kale.

Really a secret place when it comes to schnitzel. Cheap and very good. I can only recommend it. I stayed in a 4 star hotel and ate a schnitzel there for €29, which didn't reach the quality of this local restaurant. But the best thing is that the kitchen is open for a really long time. Finding a parking space nearby is really tricky.

Food was super tasty, it just took a while to get there.

Ultimate institution in Hanover's Nordstadt. Absolute cult, always full, always good, always friendly. Many students from all over the world. Sometimes you have to wait a bit, but that doesn't matter 😉.

Very cozy shop with a large selection of alcoholic drinks, great staff and wonderful food. The fried potatoes in particular are an absolute must if you come here to eat. Can recommend the store in every respect.

Incredibly delicious schnitzels! Friendly service and generally a great bar/pub.

Hearty, strong, good! Nordstadt charm, so rather simple 👍 Quaint pub with delicious, diverse cuisine. Also great for an isotonic cold drink after the run. Today with delicious chicken schnitzel and salad for energy after running 🏃🏼

I was here when I was a child - there were fun ball games in the back. and great pinball machines with 2 levels. I'll come back soon *love*

In my opinion a great restaurant/pub with the old charm that I like so much. There is no ground level access and the way to the toilets is up a few steps. The food itself was great. The service came in a relaxed manner. The food was well prepared but it took a while. You can then pay in cash or EC. I'd love to come back.

Super delicious food! Tasted heavenly! My husband and I were in there with our 2 year old son who enjoyed being able to play in peace in a corner while we ate. The waitress was incredibly smiling, sweet and polite. When we have to pay, they suddenly tell us that you cannot pay by card and my husband runs up and withdraws 100 euros. When he comes back and has to pay the €58.60, the man only gives him back €11.40 and starts acting like we haven't paid €100. It's just not right! So that's why you only get 1 star. Super waitress and food, but your male waitress behind the bar, you might just have to think about whether he is cheating your customers.

Rustic atmosphere and a chef who knows his craft. Delicious home-style food and nice service.

Fast, good, inexpensive German cuisine and nice staff

The best schnitzel in all of Hanover.

Nice staff, great food, unfortunately our portion of pasta was relatively small, but schnitzel etc is huge in great portions

Cozy restaurant and good service. As always, Jägerschnitzel was Tippi Toppi!

Nice, rustic, classic pub with very good food.

Very tasty food at reasonable prices. Price/performance top.

Was here many years ago as a boy and now found it again. Am thrilled

Unfortunately very disappointed. My schnitzel was tasty, but the hunter's sauce was inedible, even the fries were rather poor. The asparagus cream soup was delicious, the dessert was well... More cream than mascarpone.

Delicious schnitzel. Best Roastbeef and potatoes ever.

Great “pub” if you can affectionately call this very old location in Hanover. Very friendly service in a super authentic atmosphere. The food (schnitzel) was really outstanding. Personally, I would think just a small improvement would be great. 😃 A locality with tradition could perhaps also treat a large beer traditionally. Normal is 0.3 and large is 0.5 (not 0.4). Better to take 50 more. But personal taste doesn't detract from the 5 stars. We'd love to come back.

According to the company's own admission, the "Kaiser" has been around for over 120 years; This would make it the oldest restaurant in Hanover. In any case, the ambience is “rustic” and they pay homage to “classic standard German cuisine,” which I would definitely like to express as a great compliment. The menu therefore features the typical representatives of this gastronomic style, such as roulades, schnitzel and of course always seasonal items, such as a great asparagus menu (also with pike-perch). In fact, my Jägerschnitzel was sensationally tasty and filling, at an absolutely reasonable price. It was "hand-made" and fried in deep clarified butter, which resulted in a perfectly crispy breading, awesome! My delighted blackheads' roulades were huge and very tender. Conclusion: As a fan of German cuisine, you will get your money's worth at the Kaiser and leave the restaurant feeling inspired and more than full.

Just as it should be! Very nice service, ambience as it should be in such a restaurant. Based on a recommendation, we were there mainly to eat and we also tried a few things. The giant schnitzel is not an understatement! It was great and really more than huge. There were very good fried potatoes and the side salad 🥗 was very good. In addition to the 3 dishes and dessert, there were a few more 🍺. It was our first time there and we will definitely be back!

Good middle-class, rustic, very nice atmosphere to feel good. The food is good and the prices are very reasonable. The service is friendly and attentive. The menu should have something for everyone. Whether eating, chatting or just having a drink. Just go there!

Super friendly service And very tasty 😋 😋 😋

Food delicious, host very nice. See you soon :) Update: I'm always happy to be there again. Food still very tasty. Host still friendly. I can only recommend. The old photos on the walls invite you to ponder. Cult place and hopefully there for a long time!

A very cozy restaurant with a pub feel. Simply special and perfect for a cozy evening.

Super cozy corner pub, really friendly staff and delicious schnitzel with crispy fries. You get a large schnitzel for a fair price. Good meat, great breading. Completely satisfied.

The food was very good, there were 8 of us there and everyone enjoyed it very much! The service was great!!!

Really nice shop and great service. Food is also great. On and on. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Traditional cuisine. Meat with sauce. Great beers. Hearty. It doesn't happen that often anymore

Sitting together in a comfortable atmosphere; always great. Food is great.

Really rustic restaurant with delicious German dishes. The prices are quite fair, although there are even cheaper bars and restaurants in Hanover's Nordstadt. By the way, you can also go in larger groups, rooms are available.

The oldest restaurant in Hanover. Rustic atmosphere. Very attentive and friendly service by the owner. The sauces are homemade, very tasty and served with fresh schnitzel. Yummy. We found the restaurant today by chance and are very excited. ...and certainly not the last time here😊👍 Many thanks to the owners.
