Laufenbach Stuben in Monschau

Good food, nice service Cash only

Super renovated old building, small menu with very tasty food and decent portions. Plus a wide selection of drinks and friendly service. Gladly again!!! And today we had very tasty mulled wine 😉

Top of the Bill The best in Monschau

They serve very tasty food here. The staff are friendly and helpful. The only downside was that it was very hot because the heater was on quite loudly when we were there. That made it not very comfortable to sit there for a long time.

Great menu that is different and doesn't always just offer schnitzel and steak. Food was very nicely prepared. Reservation recommended

Great food, a memory that will stay with me Unfortunately, the recipes were not available to borrow

Wir waren heute mit 4 Personen hier essen. Wir hatten Sauerbraten, Rouladen und Köhlerbraten mit Knödel, Rotkohl und/oder Gemüse. Alles war sehr sehr lecker. Die Soßen haben spitzenmäßig geschmeckt und waren (außer die vom Sauerbraten) G l u t e n f r e i. Beim Sauerbraten waren Printen in der Soße, das hat aber ebenfalls sehr gut geschmeckt. Auf Nachfrage bzgl. Tripadvisor hat uns die Wirtin mitgeteilt, dass sie sich selbst nicht da angemeldet hat sondern irgdein Gast hat sie angemeldet. Somit kann sie hier auch nicht angeben dass sie überwiegend glutenfreies Essen serviert.

Delicious real German food…cosy atmosphere and friendly staff…

Heerlijk authentiek Duits eten , geen kleine porties, gezellige sfeer en vriendelijk personeel…. Echt de moeite waard om eens te gaan eten …

Good basic food. Important note: only cash payments accepted! With only one ATM available, it’s important to make sure you have cash.

The best goulash I've ever eaten! Portions could perhaps be a little larger, but the taste is outstanding and the price is also completely reasonable. I would particularly like to highlight the friendly owner/operator of the shop!

I had the pleasure of visiting the Laufenbach Stuben and it was simply a wonderful experience! The atmosphere is incredibly cozy – you immediately feel comfortable and welcome. The service is exceptionally friendly and attentive, you can tell that Jessika and her team really care about the guests' well-being. The meal was a real treat - it reminded me of the festive warmth of Christmas. The dishes are prepared with a lot of love and are incredibly delicious. Everything tasted fresh and homemade, with a great, savory note that was reminiscent of a feast. A true taste experience! A little note: you can only pay in cash, but that doesn't take away from the great experience. I will definitely come back and can only recommend this restaurant to everyone!

Very friendly, very pleasant and above all super tasty!

The food was very good, the service was very personable and consistently friendly, attentive and accommodating even though she had a lot of work to do. The restaurant is cozy and clean. For us, by far the best restaurant in Monschau that we got to know in three days.

Fantastic!! We had beef goulash and roast. Very tasty and we could choose 2 side dishes, depending on our taste! Very fair price and friendly, competent service!

Very nice service, goulash and sauerbraten were very tasty. The dessert was great too. Otherwise there are lots of schnitzel dishes everywhere. We felt very comfortable. Thanks

The restaurant is cozy and invitingly furnished. The service is very friendly. We found the waiting time to be extremely long in an empty restaurant. The food was okay, home cooking, not outstanding, but a little expensive

Probably really good for Monschau conditions. Advice: Eat and stay overnight outside the tourist village! More and better service at better prices! The roast was nothing for "like mothers", just average, would lead to closure in Bavaria! The service was really bad, it took 60 minutes for the soup!

The last time the sauerbraten was this good was at my late grandmother's. Totally warm service.

Very good German bourgeois cuisine that fits into the Eifel ambience. Highly recommended. Close your eyes, taste good and you'll feel like you're at mother's table.

Inconspicuous from the outside, rustic and cozy from the inside, the food was very tasty

Delicious food, nice service, cozy atmosphere. Food is also available other than schnitzel and fries. I can recommend it without reservation.

Excellent home cooking and nice service. The best restaurant in Monschau.

Very tasty food that is reminiscent of mom's cooking, TOP 👍👍👍

Great, when you look at the menu and the prices outside you think it is quite pricey, but when you start eating you immediately know that it will be worth everything. So great.

The inn is just as cozy and the food is just as delicious as it was a year ago. There was a delicious mustard soup beforehand, then beef roulades with apple red cabbage and bread dumplings, plus an extra pot of gravy. Anyone who is not afraid to walk a few minutes from Monschau's city center to the Laufenbach Stuben will be rewarded with a delicious, homemade meal.

Food was simply fantastic Goulash with mashed potatoes and butter vegetables, Everything tasted very good. Absolutely clear recommendation!!

My husband and I came here for lunch. We were a bit skeptical since we were the only ones there—it was a DELICIOUS lunch. If you’re looking for schnitzel and bratwurst, this is not the place for you. But if you want an authentic meal that seems like it was made by a grandma, this is the place. Definitely worth a visit. I had the sauerbraten with mashed potatoes and plums in red wine and mustard soup. Absolutely perfect. Service was lovely as well and the waitress recommended some local mustard to bring home. 10/10

Delicious food (sauerbraten) and really nice service.

Fine restaurant, eat like grandma's!😋

During our short vacation in Monschau, we ate twice in this somewhat hidden restaurant, which is run with great commitment by the family that runs it. The menu and the food itself stand out from the surrounding restaurants if you like traditional German cuisine. My tips: pork knuckle and of course the excellent sauerbraten.

Where should I start, from the service to the food and the simple ambience, everything was perfect for us. It was very tasty and highly recommended!

Wil je goed eten uit Oma's tijd, moet je hier zijn. Alles is vers en zeer goed klaargemaakt. Je moet wel geduld hebben aangezien je lang moet wachtten op het eten. Maar als het er eenmaal is, is het echt engelen van traditionele Duitse vlees gerechten.

Thank you very much, dear Jenny! During our short vacation we were able to enjoy the great cuisine twice... high quality - great taste - beautifully prepared - good service at a fair price. Thank you very much - always happy - we'll be back!!!!

Absolutely recommended. Very attentive, very friendly and above all very tasty!

Just had something to drink. The service was super nice and very accommodating....can only be recommended.

Very good food, great craftsmanship, whether red cabbage or pasta or meat and sause, delicious

The service is very pleasant, although we did not book in advance, they found us a table even though everything was reserved. The food is very good, simple but with great taste and quality. The plum accompaniment is a must. We had a great time in a very pleasant setting. The dessert menu, although it is limited to scoops of ice cream, surprised us very pleasantly; the ice creams are good and only €1.60 per scoop.

Very, very slight compromises in the ambience, but otherwise just good, down-to-earth, delicious food. Hammer sauce. 🫠 We don't know if we'll come to Monschau again...but we won't forget this restaurant so quickly. 😁😋

We visited the restaurant because of the many very positive reviews. Friendly welcome with quick service. The smell of food in the restaurant boded well. However, after the food was on the table, there wasn't much left of home cooking. The shape and taste of the bread dumplings were similar to those from the cooking bag. The same applied to the red cabbage. Roulade with an impossible filling and the sauerbraten was gray in color with a sponge-like consistency. Roast pork with dark sauce which was not dissimilar to the roulade sauce. We were very disappointed.

Great food and very cozy and very nice landlady. Always happy to recommend to everyone. 🙂👍

This was one of the most delicious meals I've had in such a long time! The service was great. So chill atmosphere. Didn't even need a reservation. I had the Eisbein and kartoffelen. It was alot of food for such a low price. We've spend about 2 hours here give or take. Definitely worth it.

The best restaurant in Monschau with excellent service.Traditional cuisine equal to good old Dutch cuisine with a German touch👍 absolutely delicious. Please note cash payment only. And closed on Mondays. But that applies to most restaurants in Monschau. Going to Halle in Monschau center on Monday. Don't forget to order the excellent local beer. After 5 p.m., free parking along the road.

Family business. Very nice operator. Friendly, loving service. You should bring some time with you. Warm, cozy interior. The food is down-to-earth and honest. Good, tasty home cooking. A gem in Monschau. The slightly different menu, not just schnitzel and fries. 2 side dishes are included in the price and can be freely chosen.

Ein super Geheimtipp für alle die gutbürgerliche Küche mögen. Ein sehr angenehmes Ambiente und eine sehr freundliche Bedienung findet man in diesem Lokal vor. Die Speisen wurden sehr schmackhaft zubereitet und serviert. Vielen Dank für diesen angenehmen Aufenthalt. Wir kommen sehr gern wieder. Ihre Gäste aus Sachsen-Anhalt und Hannover.

Super tasty food, nice staff and completely okay prices.

Sometimes all you need is good food and a warm atmosphere to have the perfect evening. That's exactly what the Laufenbach-Stuben offer: a place where you immediately feel at home and where the attention to detail is noticeable. The food is simply outstanding. Every bite is reminiscent of the dishes Grandma prepared with so much love and care. The dishes are traditional without being boring and surprise with the freshness of the ingredients and the authentic taste. It's like going back in time and breathing in the familiar scent of Grandma's cooking once again. But it's not just the food that impresses. The operation is also a highlight. Warm, attentive and with a smile on their faces that welcomes every guest. Here you can feel that hospitality is not just a duty, but a passion. Overall, the Laufenbach-Stuben are more than just a place to eat - it's an experience that you won't quickly forget. If you are looking for a restaurant that impresses with love and tradition, you have come to the right place. A visit is absolutely recommended!

Friendly service, delicious food. It makes you happy 😊

Eat like grandma's ♥️ Whether roulades, sauerbraten, knuckle or goulash - here you can enjoy real home cooking in a very nice atmosphere. The food was beautifully presented and really delicious. The service is very attentive and friendly and the atmosphere is modern and cozy. The price-performance ratio is absolutely appropriate. We'd love to come back

Traditional German cuisine of the highest quality, delicious food with very friendly service for very little money. You have those addresses that you share with good friends, this is one of them, hidden gem, honesty from the beginning to the end... thank you for cooking so deliciously for us, it was memorable.

Mustard soup, roast beef with dumplings and red cabbage. Very tasty home cooking, very friendly service. Attention: no card payment, only cash.

Delicious home cooking. Grilled knuckle was perfect.

Super tasty home cooking at a very good price-performance ratio. The waitress was extremely friendly and took care of the whole business by herself. Even if you have to wait 5 minutes, it's 100% worth it. We would be happy to come back.

Eating like mother's. The roulade was excellent. The service was very nice. I would remove it from everyone.

Very nice traditional food, and very helpful and good service We were with our 2 little pugs, which they also welcomed

Super resto, très agréable moment en famille. Très bonne cuisine familiale, super service. Nous y retournerons Vielen Dank

Unfortunately, we cannot share our predecessors' praise for the food. I quote an older review: “We didn't have the impression that anything was freshly cooked for us here!” The side dishes (mashed potatoes, red cabbage, sauces, bread dumplings) were all mixed, from the jar or from Pfanni. The pork knuckle was detached from the bone and fried strangely. The sauerbraten consisted of one slice for €23.90. A completely unacceptable price-performance ratio! The only plus point was the friendly service.

Went for the first time and are totally thrilled. Very nice location and the food is delicious. Will definitely come back👍👍

Definitely go. Very good food (sometimes no fries or schnitzel) cozy and nice restaurant. Super nice service.

Only recommended. Delicious. Service was great. Gladly again.

We got lucky to get a table without a reservation because a lot of tables were reserved. The service was very friendly and attentive, the food was great. On their menu they note that they don't serve the usual 'Schnitzel and pommes' fare. So if you feel like having that go somewhere else. We had Schweinehaxle with sauerkraut and semmelknöbel, and kassler mager. Both were very nice meat dishes.

Super, sympathischer Familienbetrieb. Authentisch, freundlich und hervorragendes Essen. Wie bei Mutti oder Oma. Können wir mit bestem Gewissen weiterempfehlen.

Nice restaurant where we ate twice. The landlord and his daughter took great care of us and the food, roulades and sauerbraten were very tasty

Very good and welcoming. Super lecker 👍🏻

Goulash, dumplings and sauerkraut! Ice cream for dessert. Super tasty and very nice owner!

The food was very good, but also expensive, e.g. sauces and mustard are charged additionally. Facilities are very sparse. Not suitable for a cozy evening

We were there about 2 weeks ago. Great service - one person, the owner, runs the entire guest room alone. That was very remarkable because you rarely see something like that. Happy and friendly.😊 The food was great, thanks also to the kitchen. Great value for money.👍 We'd love to come by again. Sonja and Gunter

Great overall package! We were there with 10 people and ordered the entire menu. Everything was super fresh, tasty, hot, great quality - food like grandma's! We sat warm and comfortable. The friendly wait staff provided great service. We haven't eaten so well in a long time and will come back. That was a successful evening!

Incredibly delicious home-style food, just like it should be anywhere! Not necessarily something for vegetarians... ;-) Service very courteous and on the ball!

Excellent food for a great price

We were in Monschau over the weekend and went to the Laufenbachstuben on Saturday evening. The food was first class, we had the roulade and the knuckle of pork, simply great, we can only recommend it. Then we had early Kölsch on tap - we couldn't imagine a better evening in Monschau.

Very good home cooking... once again sauerbraten, goulash and pea soup... where else can you get something like that... service very friendly... everything very clean, including the toilets

Iets buiten het centrum van Monschau, maar nog steeds op zeer korte wandelafstand. Heel lekkere vleesgerechten (geen typische schnitzel) en gevarieerde bijgerechten, vriendelijke bediening, niet duur en honden welkom, een aanrader!

We were served super friendly and the dog was also welcome. The food was much better than in the center. The cuisine includes traditional German meat dishes.

Very tasty food! Friendly service and a family feeling. We'll definitely come back.

Dropped by spontaneously. I really enjoyed the goulash. The other 3x people were also very satisfied. I can recommend it without reservation!

Definitely worth a visit! Were there today with a group of seniors. Service was super friendly and the food was excellent. The timing of the meal was great - a group of 17 people received their food almost at the same time. On behalf of everyone, we would like to thank you again for the outstanding help, management and the delicious food. The seniors had an unforgettable day. Stay as you are! Greetings from Mönchengladbach LG Marcel Muters

Très bonnes expériences ! Nous y avons dîné 2 fois durant notre séjour, et c’était top les 2 fois ! De la vraie cuisine locale, « fait maison » en plus ! Et la patronne d’une gentillesse… Sincèrement, allez-y les yeux fermés !

Lekker en vers eten voor een eerlijke prijs! Bediening vriendelijk en informele sfeer.

Sehr gemütlich, nettes Publikum.

Wir haben zu viert einen wunderschönen Abend im Restaurant verbracht. Der Service war exzellent - alle super freundlich und humorvoll. Das Essen war unfassbar lecker, uns hat es allen sehr gut geschmeckt. Tolle Qualität, top Hausmannskost. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder. Auf jeden Fall vorher reservieren, da immer sehr gut besucht. Vielen Dank für diesen schönen und leckeren Abend! :-)

We came end November and this place did not disappoint! It was delicious, the cooking ressembles your grandma’s: absolutely delicious yet simple and convivial, dishes are for the whole table to share, and not heavy (we ate like ogres and did not get the usual food coma that should have followed) we will come back, we’re still drooling about the food :D ! Important point it’s cash only, no cards (they warn you straight ahead so no bad surprise at the end of the meal ;) )

Waren heute Abend dort essen, wir hatten schon Getränke bekommen und das Essen bestellt. Nach gut zehn Minuten wurde am Nachbartisch Grünkohl mit Kartoffeln und Mettwurst serviert.Grünkohl war erst am Tag zuvor frisch zubereitet und stand noch nicht auf der Speisekarte. Auf Nachfrage meiner Frau kam der Koch und die sehr freundliche Kellnerin, das eine Umbestellung kein Problem wäre und es wurde speziell nachgefragt, mit welcher Beilage der Grünkohl serviert werden sollte.Der Grünkohl sowie mein Sauerbraten mit Beilagen waren ein Gedicht. Vielen herzlichen Dank ☺️ Ulrich Liebehenz

Hier fühlt man sich immer herzlich Willkommen. Super Essen ,Ambiente und Gastgeber.

Eine Rinderroulade so Zart und Mürbe, dass man kein Messer braucht, die Soße war der Hammer. Mindestens genauso lecker wie früher bei Oma. Man schmeckt die Lust am Kochen, die Lust am Produkt! Tolles, kleines Restaurant. Das eine fehlende Sternchen fürs Ambiente, weil die LED-Plastiklampen nicht so wirklich zum Gesamtbild passen...

Sehr schönes rustikales Ambiente, nette Wirtin, zünftiges, hervorragendes Essen, schönes gezapftes Bier und guter Wein. Gerne wieder.

Great restaurant with very tasty local specialities. The food took a little bit of time to arrive but it was definable worth the wait!! Very recomendable choice, the service is friendly and helpful and the restaurant is well kept.

Nous avons passé encore une fois une très agréable soirée. L'ambiance est vraiment au top, on adore.

Ultra leckeres Essen die Senfsuppe ein Traum und der Schweinebraten ein richtiger Schmackofatz

Schönes Restaurant mit leckerem rustikalem Essen. Getränkemässig ist fast alles möglich und die Öffnungszeiten sind toll.

Vraiment une très belle expérience… Si voulez un repas typiquement Allemand et fait maison, il faut venir à ce restaurant Le service et l’accueil est très personnalisé, les explications sur les choix de nourritures possibles est très bien Je recommande sans aucune hésitation cet endroit

Gemütliches kleines Lokal mit schöner Speisekarte. Karte klein aber Essen top . P S . Nur Barzahlug

Auf Grund unseres kurzen Aufenthalt in der Eifel und einer Übernachtung in dem kleinen beschaulichen Dorf Monschau, haben wir durch Zufall das kleine charmante Lokal etwas außerhalb von dem alten Markt gefunden. Hier gibt es eine kleine überschaubare Speisekarte á la Hausmannskost wie bei Oma oder Muddi. Und was soll ich sagen...japp zu 100% erfüllt!!!! Das war so lecker und auf dem Punkt gebraten. Die Soße überhaupt nicht säuerlich, sondern sehr angenehm. Das Rindergulasch auf den Punkt und zergeht im Mund. Beide Gerichte waren daher Top und verdienen die Note 1. Also wer anstelle von 08/15 Pizza, Nudeln Bolognese, oder Schnitzel (jeglicher) Art essen möchte und mal in Monschau ist, sollte hier einkehren. Bravo

Geweldige plek in Monschau als je niet weer eens schnitzel, frieten of worst wil eten. Kleine beperkte kaart maar alles wat we bestelden was heerlijk! De bediening is super gastvrij en goedlachs. Een echte aanrader!

Wow, einfach lecker und der Service war auch super! Essen wie bei Oma, lecker und super frisch. Nachdem ganz Monschau am Samstag Abend ausgebucht war, wurden wir hier echt mehr als positiv überrascht. Die Karte ist klein aber vollkommen ausreichend. Man sollte etwas Zeit mitbringen, da das Essen wirklich frisch für einen zubereitet wird. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder!

Heerlijke duitse keuken volgens oma,s recept. Nette kleine stube. Goede sfeer. Nette bediening. En heerlijk eten.

Super lecker, sehr freundlich und wirklich gemütlich.

Klasse Hausmannskost wie vom Muttern. Gulasch oder Grillhaxe wie Oma der Mutter sie einst gemacht hat aber viel besser. Bitte weiter so. Absolut lecker, einfach ein Traum.

Lekkere mosterdsoep, vriendelijke bediening.

Wenn man gutes Essen abseits der üblichen Schnitzel mit Fritten Angebote sucht, sollte man auf jeden Fall hier einkehren!
