Lütticher Hof in Monschau

Incredibly unfriendly treatment by the waitress.

Substandard service, no one in the group was allowed to order just one starter, nor was the service friendly. Unfortunately, the menu hardly contained any vegetarian dishes. - The food was okay, but very carelessly prepared. In addition, the permitted payment conditions between cash and card payments changed. It's been a long time since we've been negatively surprised by a visit to a restaurant. Too bad! Next time I will go to another restaurant.

We read positive reviews so we thought we would eat here. You couldn't make a reservation so we arrived on time. It was coming and going, and little attention was paid to all the tourists. Outside on the terrace they made an effort to heat it, but it was still cold because of the cold that came through everywhere. The toilets were anything but clean. All the other restaurants didn't seem any better. So I recommend finding somewhere to eat outside Monschau.

I have come here for years because of its great location in the old town by the river and because of its warm cosy atmosphere, almost like a mountain hut. After my last disastrous visit though, I have decided not to come back. I had forgotten that this place accepts cash only, and knew that the owner had a bit of a rough character so I started to get nervous when I got up to pay. And sure enough, the owner asked me to either leave a passport or a family member while I was running to the nearest ATM, which I felt was unacceptable. He thus wanted to call the police and even grabbed me when I was attempting to go out to withdraw money without leaving a piece of identity. My wife and daughter were a bit in panic so I decided to cut short this conflict by letting my wife withdraw money and pay the guy while I waited as his prisoner. It is a shame that intensive tourism turn some local business owners into such unpleasant people. Still, Monshau stays one of my favorite destination and I find most people really friendly.

I can only rate the service here. We have Sunday afternoon and Christmas market. I urgently had to go to the toilet and change my baby, but I was begged despite begging! denied the toilet, despite me saying that I would of course pay for it. It's clear that people from the Christmas market are not welcome there to go to the toilet, but I don't understand that with a baby in my arms in an emergency situation. The waiter's statement was just the boss's instructions and we can't make an exception. I hope that the waiter or boss sometimes gets into a situation like this and is then turned away despite paying.

My 2 star review was also reported to Google after 4 years for “defamation”. I had objectively correctly assessed the conditions in the restaurant and the quality of the food. This way you can keep your reviews at a positive level.

A 2-star review is reported to Google after 6 years with the note “defamation”. My review was factual and correct so they are just trying to cover it up.

We were in every way... This affected the coffee, the cake and the service including the price/performance ratio.

Excellent restaurant in Monschau. While we were sullenly turned away at many restaurants, we were welcome here. The bald man serving was very friendly and quickly at the table when necessary. However, the conservatory can be made more cozy and a window wash is not unnecessary. Food was also fine!

Delicious schnitzels. Even though it was busy, the food was served quickly.

Very great internet with supplement

Very fast service, very tasty food. Small menu, not expensive. Happy to come back next time!

A nice old Restaurant with a terrasse Dancing the Rur. The ambience is old an looking "original", the meals are good but a Bit in the expansive site. They serve some typical Monschau foods!

Had dinner here one evening. We got a seat straight away even though we didn't have a reservation and the place was very full. Friendly service and tasty food.

Schnitzel tastes like frying fat, terrace smells like cigarette smoke, terrace with a lot of potential but not used.... too expensive for what I got, luckily I liked the Weissbier

Location has a lot of potential, could be a bit more cozy. The food: schnitzel with mushroom rahmsauce. Very little taste of schnitzel because you mainly tasted the frying fat. The salad you got was with a dressing. No oil and vinegar but clearly (a lot of) water with vinegar. Another dish was baked camembert with toast and the same salad. One slice of very lightly toasted bread fresh from a plastic bag long ago? Camembert were 2 slices like you get them at Lidl! buys. Here too with a strong taste of chip fat that dominated. The terrace was covered so you could eat in the cigarette smoke. Not recommended, also because of the expensive price.

Unfortunately we waited longer than 55 minutes for food: without feedback or explanation. Next time in Monschau we will go to a different restaurant. It's a shame actually...

I wouldn't go here again. The terrace beckons, the view from the terrace is also quite nice but that's it. The menu itself has a heavy feel and some of the contents of the menu were not available. Then €4.60 for a cup of coffee that tasted like it came from a warming container was outrageous. The cheapest ice cream mixed with cheap, probably frozen, fruit with a kind of waffle (Monschauer Dütchen) for €6.80... Respect, you have to trust that first. The service was attentive and was able to tell you what wasn't available. No recommendations.

I really can't understand the other reviews. I found the food really good and sufficient. The staff was courteous and the view was very nice... so we'd love to come back

Small menu, but what they do is really good. Would recommend!! I love desserts with fruit, so a picture of Monschauer Apfelstrudel (look at the beautifull apple).

Edible without a doubt. Toilets could use a serious makeover.

Great terrace, everything else is unfortunately lacking.

Food is nothing special, but it fills you up. Fantastic outdoor terrace with a view of the Rur and far away from the hustle and bustle of the city center.

It all started with the apfelsaft spritzt, which the waiter sarcastically corrected as apfelschorle (which has sting in it!). Then I was given a glass of unspiked apple juice. Furthermore, the apple strudel was not warm and the vanilla sauce was absent. A mediocre experience...

There's hardly a nicer place to sit, the team was very friendly and we had an excellent meal. Starters, then trout, herring in cream, salads and schnitzel, everything was great. Gladly again!

The terrace is nice and has a good view. You can have a drink here, but I absolutely don't recommend anything more. The food is bad (0 stars) - frozen goods at tourist prices.

Great location on the Rur, delicious food, very attentive and friendly service, card payment possible!

I don't understand some of the bad reviews. We ate schnitzel there today on September 3rd, 2024. Schnitzels were large and of butcher quality. As for the sauces, at least the mustard sauce was homemade. Price for two schnitzels with sauces and fries and salad, soft drinks and a carafe of wine was Mt 50 euros.

Friendly and attentive service. Our meal of pork steak and salmon, each with mustard sauce, was very good. Both in appearance, taste and size. The table on the terrace bit a nice view of the river.

We were greeted with the words: "We have a table, but not just for drinking." We should have left right away. I understand that a restaurant is not a café and that nowadays everyone in the catering industry needs to see that the business is in the black. But you could have said it more kindly. My face probably spoke volumes because from then on the waiter tried very hard to be polite. Then our food came... what a disgrace! The tomato soup was probably from a can and only lukewarm. The Camembert was frozen and fried way too hard. The small salad (which I didn't need) was drizzled with sugar water. What I don't mean by a restaurant is that the chef prepares ready-made food. And bad too. This is really unacceptable at the prices they charge. We will definitely go to the beautiful area again. But definitely not in this restaurant.

We only ended up here because most of the other restaurants in Monschau are closed on Mondays. Apart from the beautiful view from the terrace, the visit is not worth it. We left €40 with drinks for two canned soups that were lukewarm at best and a portion of baked camembert from the freezer. Going to the toilet should then cost another €0.50. Next time I'd rather have a currywurst from the nearest snack bar.

It's just too busy - you can clearly tell that the staff has to work at full speed. Uninviting atmosphere, awful uninviting decor and the food... meh. Ok, but nothing special. Nice: the location, if you can sit outside by the water.

Actually I would give 0 stars. The menu is not up to date online. There are mostly meat and fish dishes. Vegetarians will have to settle for baked potato with tzatziki. The service is very limited. There is nothing here if you wish. If you want to eat a good steak, you should go somewhere else. I absolutely cannot recommend it here. We also had 5 dishes with fries on the side. Instead of being served on a plate as usual, we were given the side dish in a bowl that we could all take something from. You can only enjoy a beautiful view from the terrace.

The view in the restaurant is really fantastic, but unfortunately that was the only positive thing. The fries were way too crispy and tasted like they had been in old frying oil for too long. The schnitzel was old, without any taste and of poor quality. The cream sauce was equally disappointing – completely tasteless. The salad was served without dressing, which made the whole thing even more inedible. When I raised this, the service was completely unresponsive to my criticism, which made the experience even more frustrating. A really disappointing visit, despite the beautiful view.

Danger. Tourist rip-off. We left good money for portions that could only be described as children's plates at best. The mini salad's dressing was sugar water. Very strange. My friend was given a bowl of compote as an ashtray. Who's going to eat the next one? Simply a bad restaurant!

Very unfriendly service, we were involved even without eating anything

Large cup of coffee, there are actually 2 of them, so almost €5 per cup. Fine. Terrace on/above the river (extension see photo). Toilet also in order.

You don't have to go for the friendly service, but the excellent food more than compensates for that. Fantastic rump steak!! Highly recommended to order it with pepper sauce. Enjoy it:)

Absolutely 0 star value from service to food, crazy tourist rip off! Inedible, disgusting canned food, drinks warm and non-carbonated, without ice at 35 degrees, children's schnitzel served absolutely carelessly and disgustingly, 6-7 fries, a spoonful of apple puree and an indefinable nugget on the side for 11€? Incredibly €62.00 left there and left hungry, it's a shame and I wanted a delicious lunch with my children and that's what we got! Less than 0 stars, shame on others! P.S. We're still wondering how can you make a salad so inedible? Instead of some vinegar, oil, salt, pepper or whatever kind of dressing, it was completely filled with sugar and water... Really just sugar and water, nothing more! A squeeze of lemon would be enough, but sugar and water on the salad for €17?, nothing so disgusting has ever happened to us! It's a real shame for Monschau, but it ruined our day and our visit there! Never come back! I would love to post the pictures but for whatever reason it's not working right now!

The portions are super tiny and yet it is incredibly expensive. The atmosphere, vibe and location is pretty nice but it is clear that the only thing you pay for is the location. Also the cooking is not that good either. For example the mushroom sauce for the Schnitzel is spicier than it should be and the salad was awfully sweet?? Who makes a salad sweet? It's like they poured sugar over it. The chicken wings they offered also seemed almost undercooked. I cannot recommend this location.

Quaint restaurant with a large outdoor terrace in the middle of Monschau. Delicious German cuisine. Friendly staff.

very well received, good dishes, low prices, we had a very good meal with the girls this afternoon!

The place is very well known to us and is always worth a visit. I ordered a mixed salad in the restaurant and was served about three-quarters of Lollo Rosso with a few small things. It leaves a lot to be desired. We also know the other dishes better. Unfortunately

We had to stop here yesterday because unfortunately many restaurants in Monschau were closed on Tuesdays. The service was ok, the ambience was rather mediocre despite space on the outside terrace. It felt like you were in a train station hall. The prices for the food are totally overpriced and the portions are tiny.

This restaurant is a big play, in a negative sense. Food is meh, ordinary but not special. The person who served us barely scolded us because we didn't know yet what we wanted to order. Customers who had paid were unceremoniously booted out of the store for the next one. Furthermore, mayo cost €1, which was not indicated and they do not have a pin, which was made quite rudely clear. NOT RECOMMENDED!!

Excellent service from friendly staff, such a difference to the other restaurants in Monschau. Food is good although menu a little limited if you don't like red meat.

Service unfriendly, ice cream for dessert very poor. There was no spark in the drink. Not recommended!

Not very pleasant place. You cannot seat outside if you don’t buy food, even thought half of tables are empty. Wine should have been served in special glas. You also cannot pay by card. Just disappointing.

Not very cozy despite the fact that it is located on the river. The food was great, but the service was slightly less so. The cutlery was placed together on 1 plate on the table. So we had to divide the cutlery and napkins among ourselves.

Very nice setting, but the staff are never cold again

Food was beyond miserable. Half of it was no longer available. Jägerschnitzel without sauce and the vegetable meatballs cold and raw! However, the service was very friendly!

Nice outdoor terrace right on the river Food was good, service was prompt and friendly, we would be happy to come back.

Very tasty food and nice staff.

More appearance than reality. Eating simply and with a snack feel. Very disappointing

It was very busy and the best man was running around like crazy. Too bad he had put 3 Radlers on our bill that we didn't have. We only found out the next day.

Food is good. Service was a bit slow. Excellent place to sit with a beautiful view of the river.

Cream schnitzel tasted of cinnamon and sugar (sauce like schnitzel was definitely frozen goods). Serve a smooth 6. The negative highlight was the “salad” that was served beforehand and tasted like grass with water. It's a shame about the actually beautiful location.

Unfortunately it's closed 😔 so we didn't have the opportunity to stop there, and there was no sign of it being closed, we only noticed it when we were there and it was locked and empty. A pity

Delicious mustard sauce with dishes! Terrace is beautifully situated above the Rur, but be careful in colder weather: only terrace heating in the winter months.

I do not recommend this place at all The terrace is nice but the hostess did not warn when we entered that it did not work to pay by card and gave a very bad excuse If it didn't work, the first thing he should have said when entering was that and we should decide. Mediocre food a tourist catcher It's a shame to find places like this in such beautiful places.

Worst experience we had in Monschau. Its a nice location with the terrace on the river but thats all really. We came in with a stroller with our sleeping baby inside and the very rude Asian lady right away told us we cant go on the terrace with the stroller and that we have to leave our baby inside, alone! When we told her we will leave then it was all in a sudden okay and to our surprise the whole terrace was basically empty with about 4 tables occupied from about 15 in total with plenty of space. Ice coffee was definitely from a sachet with pieces inside, it was the worst we ever had. Almost 10 euros for the worst ice coffee ever and a watery cola. Never again!

The restaurant ONLY lives from the view!

Nice restaurant in itself, but the food leaves a lot to be desired. The schnitzel is soggy and the fries aren't even salted.

Ordered steak, was supposed to be medium, was still raw, for €27 a piece, I can't recommend it, rip-off

Unfortunately, the menu on the Lütticher Hof homepage is from 2020 and is no longer up to date. Unfortunately, the menu is almost exclusively pork and beef and a bit of fish. Otherwise the staff is relatively inflexible when it comes to ordering (I just wanted a large plate of fries - my request was not granted) and the tomato soup was just a little warm. The broccoli corners are overpriced at 17 euros. But the ambience is great 👍 great view.

Price and performance don't match here.

We wanted to stop there today for a few beers after a hike, but were told straight away that we needed to eat something. There were four of us there. The store doesn't seem to be using it.

Nice restaurant, very beautiful place...

Seldom seen such a dirty place. There's dirt everywhere. Worst in the corners. Endless cobwebs. The Pils didn't taste like Bitburger. We had the impression that a cheap brand was being served at hefty prices.

Nice view and nice service. But overall the food didn't taste good at all, neither the chop (tasted like old fat), nor the fries (dry and hard), salad (watered down), nor the tea (tasted like musty water). Unfortunately not recommended at all. Especially considering the prices are far too high.

Very dingy. Even the beer is undrinkable. Service also worth 0 stars.

Very nice places on the Rur terrace. The waitress (Leah) is very attentive and friendly without being intrusive. The mustard schnitzels are of good quality. You can stop there without hesitation.

Food prepared very unimaginatively and boringly. Fries unsalted and no salt on the table. Seems like a little too little effort. This doesn’t make the Google rating any better…

The location is so beautiful and is just completely destroyed by the food and cleanliness. My husband and I have been there several times. Highly recommended in the past, I have no idea what happened next. It's great to sit there with a great view from the terrace, but: Ordered steak last time. It was fried to death instead of English as ordered and completely riddled with tendons. I had to let it go back, it wasn't edible. I then had to wait another 20 minutes for the new steak. That was ok, but nothing more. The fries were so crispy that you couldn't tell them apart with a toothpick...so they were completely fried to death. Ok, maybe I caught the wrong day, a few months later we went there again, this time at lunchtime, as there was a large display of coffee and cake in front of the door. We sit down and ask for a cake menu, as only the menu was available. “There isn’t, we have apple strudel, nothing more.” Okaaay, then 2x apple strudel with vanilla ice cream and cream, 1x cocoa, 1x cappuccino. The 2 pieces of apple strudel were completely unequal in size, and I'm not talking about a few mm. While one portion was hand-width, the other was 3 fingers wide. (By the way, it was exactly the same at the next table, where a tour group ordered the whole thing 5 times). Furthermore, the apple strudel was cold (okay, maybe it's a luxury problem, but is it usually served warm?!) and not just room temperature, but refrigerator cold and so hard on the edge that it couldn't be cut through with a fork. There was a tiny dollop of vanilla ice cream and you could just taste it: the apple strudel was really the cheapest frozen product. The cocoa tasted like water, which I complained about. After two other tables had received their cocoa in the meantime, I eventually got a replacement. The machine would have had an error. The cappuccino was also a colored milk-water mixture. And all the fun for 27(!!!) € for a cappuccino, a cocoa and 2 apple strudel. Regarding cleanliness: In the women's toilets, due to the low height, the outside fan in the left toilet is at head height. Ok, that's not a problem, but: The fact that half of the slats were missing or broken and the thing was so dirty and dusty that the air passage was reduced in size by half is a completely different matter. The door on this toilet gets stuck when you pull it and can no longer be locked. If you want to get out again, you have to throw yourself with your shoulder in front of the door, FBI-style. There was paper everywhere on the floor in the anteroom. And: The store wasn't even half full. Some of the service staff stood behind the counter chatting. In that time you could have quickly put away the paper or maybe even cleaned the fan/exhaust. Trees grow out from under the terrace tiles on the outside...they may look nice, but no one seems to mind that the roots are destroying the terrace. And as big as they are, they've been there for years! Yes, it is a winter garden and the trees on the other side of the glass parapet...But: you can unscrew that and remove the trees there...take care of the building...and if you can't do it yourself, there are companies to do that. It's such a shame about the location that it has deteriorated so much, regardless of whether it's visually or food-wise. And if you read the other reviews, unfortunately we are not the only ones who think this way and the bad reviews are increasing. I can't and don't want to understand how someone can be so indifferent to such a beautiful location. In any case, it was the last time we were there.

No service, warmed up waffles and not very friendly staff. The location is great, but the ambience could be improved a lot.

Fresh waffles were just old and terrible. Never again !!!!

Expensive but good ambience, food: simple, not that much.

The quality and taste of the food was just ok, but definitely not worth the price. Snack quality a la frozen food prepared in old fat, even if the waiter said that parts of the food were freshly prepared in the morning. It wouldn't actually be worth it for me to write a review about food that wasn't good, but for a suitable meal after or during a nice day in Monschau you should look for one of the other restaurants. The terrace was the criterion why we chose the restaurant, but here too there is a need for optimization.

I visited with 3 friends to eat apfelstrudel.. it was cold, the dough was not crunchy at we all left half of the strudel. The outside terrace is nice but do Not recommend for strudel! @Owners: please put more passion into the strudel as the price (8 euro’s) is really not worth what you are serving!

Coffee very thin and tasteless.. Staff was nice

The fact that you have to go out on the balcony with your own dog, even though your own dog is allowed to stay in the restaurant, is surprising and really stupid. The very good service couldn't get rid of that either. Too bad. Food was okay.

Nice restaurant, terrace beautifully located by the river. The food was very tasty, the service was very friendly and attentive. We felt very comfortable. Thank you!

An eatery in the middle of Monschau with an indoor and outdoor area on the water. It wasn't very special, but it was nice to eat a plate outside by the water on a quiet day with an occasional ray of sunshine. We had the schnitzel with a sauce, which was served with fries with sauce and a bowl of raw vegetables. The taste of this was very neutral. And the baked camembert with toasted bread, which was actually a starter. The service was very courteous. Toilet facilities are accessible by stairs. The occasion had a real Austria vibe.

Shocking, no service thought, kids want fries, only in combination with main course. Fries would be delivered from another snack bar, waffle warmed up not fresh. The best thing is to order waffles with powdered sugar, the price for waffles with ice cream, cream and fruit will be charged, there would be no other way. The waiter seems unmotivated, unfortunately I didn't see the reviews from other guests beforehand, and the store is not recommended in my opinion.

Went with a reservation. Nice cozy place. Location - 10/10 Ambiance -10/10 Staff - 9/10 (very efficient, 2 people servicing all the tables) Food - 9/10 Value -10/10 Recommend - Yes Return - Yes

Cozy terrace along the water. Delicious coffee with waffle.

Outdated place and the women's toilets are not clean

Absolute disaster The place is dirty, the food is worse than in the Frittenbude Unfortunately, an absolute failure

Eating was a disgrace, the “salmon fillet” had bones and was rather watery in taste. You can't rate the steak at all, 1 star is already too much. It was cold, watery and tasted more like frozen water. Not recommended, plus utopian prices! Even the cola tasted stale. McDonald's is a star restaurant in comparison!

Totally reserved and nothing special in terms of taste, on the contrary. The children's plate is an absolute failure. The salad dressing as others have already written, just water with herbs... it's a shame that actually ruined our stay!

The waitress/manager flounced off in a huff because we didnt order enough drinks... So we left. Overworked maybe, stressed out or something but the attitude was, er, awful.

The best team led by the waiter with the thinning hair

At best, this is just a chip shop with an illustrious name. There was tough schnitzel with fries from a tin bowl like in the prison canteen. The “salad” was covered in sugar water and was past its best. The table wobbled terribly, as the Kölsch was served in 0.4L glasses (sic!) without a beer mat, unfortunately you couldn't help yourself. The waiter couldn't or didn't want to help. Ultimately, far too expensive for what is offered. Avoid at all costs.

Great place. Food is delicious. Nice atmosphere. Friendly stuff

Thought we would have a nice cup of coffee with a piece of cake. Received a message that the pastries were finished. The only thing left to get was a waffle. This one was hard and the cherries on it were full of seeds. Coffee was out of the question. Do not recommend this place. Very outdated, just like the rest of the town, which is a shame.

Weihnachtsmarkt besucht mit Arbeitskollegen und gemütlichen Kaffee/ Kakao getrunken

Het eten was prima. Ik had de Lütticher staek met gepofte aardappel met tzatziki. De bediening wel best chaotisch. Konden daardoor niet helemaal genieten van de sfeer. Veel mensen om ons heen met lege glazen. Ik heb ook jammer genoeg maar 1 drankje kunnen bestellen 😞

Im Grunde absolute Touristenfalle. Ambiente nett. Essen untererste Mittelklasse und dahingehend völlig überteuert. Viel zu voll, daher ewiges Warten und vergessene Bestellungen etc. Ich würde nicht wiederkommen.

Regelmäßige top Veranstaltungen !

De bernaise saus was zeker Bernaise saus. De Schnitzel was zeker goed gepaneerd. Lekker mals, niet taai. Ik zou alleen niet de apfelstrudel bestellen.
