Pfannenhof in Monheim am Rhein

Good food and incredibly great service, the host is very friendly

A very cozy restaurant with friendly and not overly "stiff" staff. The food arrived quickly, was hot, and tasted delicious. The prices are reasonable... If you're in Monheim, you can stop here without hesitation. :)

Lovely German ambiance, good food and very friendly service.

Good, home-style cooking, reasonably priced and fast. Cash payments welcome. Friendly staff. Simple, good food.

I can only agree with the positive reviews; Bernhard is simply one of a kind, and the overall service is top-notch 👍 We had a great meal and a wonderful evening here, and we'll definitely be coming back to Monheim from Bochum 🙏

This was the first restaurant we visited in the area and still come here.Steak and chips is highly recommended as well as the seasonal dishes. Friendly owner, very pleasant and helpful.Family orientated restaurant. Super kid friendly. Christmas days 25-26 December there is usually a huge variety of food to indulge in for a reasonable price.

We spontaneously stopped by today with friends on our bikes from Hilden for dinner and were pleasantly surprised. We'll definitely eat there again. See you soon...

For us day trippers, it was a chance discovery in the beautiful old town. The food is delicious and freshly prepared. Since my wife doesn't like onions, preparing the chanterelles was no problem. It's accompanied by a delicious house beer (Kellerbier?). All at reasonable prices.

We ate there twice... Many dishes on the menu...something for every taste...the chef and staff were very friendly...no long wait...We'll be back on our next short break and would recommend it to everyone.

I can recommend it, I like eating there best in winter, traditional goose, super delicious 😍 my favorite!

Delicious food, good glass of eijn. Friendly, helpful, and professional.

Quaint restaurant, friendly service, unfortunately no drinks menu, the schnitzel dishes are too expensive, as there's only one side dish available, e.g., either croquettes or a side salad. However, the side salad should be included for that price. The schnitzels were too thin, and the sauce came from a packet; it could have been better for the price.

A truly great restaurant. The food is super delicious and you'll be truly filling. Kudos to the kitchen. Super friendly service...and the chef, wow. I've rarely experienced such warmth. Thanks, Bernhard.

Typical local with good cuisine

Hunter’s schnitzel and venison goulash were very tasty!

The food was okay. The staff was just too young, but nice and friendly. There's no drinks menu. You don't know how much the drinks cost and can't choose in peace.

We celebrated our daughter's confirmation there. Everything was excellent: the food, the service, the decor, simply beautiful. The chef was very friendly. We've also eaten there several times privately; it's very child-friendly and a great family restaurant.

A real hit for fans of German cuisine. The staff is super friendly and dedicated to ensuring your satisfaction. The inns exude a cozy atmosphere.

In the heart of Monheim's city center.

All in all, it was very bad. Those were the worst schnitzel dishes we've ever eaten. We're happy to pay for a good meal and go home satisfied. Unfortunately, we were miles away from that. I can well imagine the response to this review. It's not that bad. No, not at all. Sorry, but I have to get this off my chest.

The food was good, but the restaurant is showing its age. It was annoying that we reserved a table and still had to wait over an hour for our food because there was a large group in the dining room. I think this should be mentioned in the confirmation when making a reservation. We had an appointment, so we ate the food in a hurry.

Review of the schnitzel with hunter's sauce and fried potatoes plus vegetables. The schnitzel was quite thin (comparable to frozen). The sauce was okay, but no fresh mushrooms. The fried potatoes were shriveled up, not sliced, but rather broken and fried with bacon, which I can handle. The vegetables were very bland; some seasoning or sauce would have been beneficial. The service and ambiance of the restaurant are what you'd expect from a good, home-style restaurant, but the food (at least my dish) leaves a lot of room for improvement.

We went to the crime dinner at Pfannenhof on May 10, 2025. The meal included a starter, salad and soup. The main course was 3-4 small baby potatoes, 3 stalks of asparagus and some pork fillet (2 mini pieces). There's no need to even talk about the sauce, far too little for so many people at the table. The food was super tasty, but just not enough! You just won't get full! For the money you at least expect to go home full! It wasn't just us who felt that way, our neighbors at the table also thought so. The crime thriller was really great and was really fun. We'll be coming back to Pfannenhof, that's for sure! Owners and staff were simply great, very friendly; you just feel good...

Unfortunately disappointing. 20 euros for 5 asparagus spears and 4 half small potatoes. Not nicely done. I was really looking forward to asparagus, but unfortunately it wasn't worth 20 euros. I wasn't full. Toilets were not clean and the soap was filled with water... The play area for children was positive, although it could use some cleaning. My daughter's leggings were pretty dirty after the visit. Pointed out at the end that we were disappointed. Pass it on, they said... that's it.

Unfortunately nothing was eaten, but the beer selection was great.

Oops, there’s still gypsy schnitzel! Ordered and got a schnitzel with three Rösti thalers, honestly that was a child's plate. Salad comes extra. What a shame!!!!

There was good food, delicious drinks. It's all ok!

Mega schnitzel Super friendly and familiar Highly recommended!

Food nothing special for an Italian but average German, particularly greasy dessert but very good beer.

The food is very very good! The service is extremely friendly, you feel very comfortable! Highly recommended!

Local with ambience. The food is plentiful and good. Prices completely ok. The landlord is an original and a dear person. LG to Bernhard

Nice, tasty... We'd love to come back

We moved to Monheim 1.5 years ago. Been to Pfannenhof a few times since then. The food is a 1 with *. The schnitzels were a revelation. There is nowhere else that is child-friendly like we are here. You just feel good. The waiting time (especially on Sundays when the house is full) is completely acceptable.

We would have liked to rate the food, but that didn't happen. After a long walk we stopped by this restaurant to have something to eat and drink. The very young waitress was with us pretty quickly and took our drink order. The young lady brought us the drinks and put the menus on the table. After that she wasn't seen again. After about 30 minutes, a gentleman at the next table got fed up and went to the counter to ask the staff to take an order. A short time later the young lady came to our table and took the order. After another 10 minutes the waitress was back at our table and told us that we wouldn't be getting any food because it wasn't possible now and we would have to wait. The restaurant was quite busy, but nowhere near full. Not a word of apology or anything like that. Well, you always experience new things. Unfortunately, this is the first and last time.

I was very happy that this time there was also a vegetarian schnitzel. Thank you for offering this now 😊🙏🏻 Friendly, nice staff and when the weather is nice you can sit comfortably outside We eat there every year 😊

Gypsy schnitzel with warmed Hela ketchup and paprika snippets. Meat very thin and too soft. For the price...not again Used cutlery is thrown into a bucket at the counter and then cleaned and dried.

Very good food and fair prices. Some of the staff seemed a bit inexperienced but they were polite and nice

The food and drinks were very tasty and good. The landlord is a force and the restaurant can only be recommended.

Crime dinners and musical dinners are recommended! Great young service crew and the food was really good.

Price performance is not right at all I will not visit this restaurant again

Very tasty and the service was very nice.

An absolute highlight for lovers of German cuisine and families with children! The food was excellent – ​​traditional, fresh and prepared with a lot of love. We were particularly impressed by the child-friendly atmosphere: there is not only a play area, but also a super-friendly team that takes care of the little ones. We felt completely comfortable and will definitely come back!

It was the worst Christmas buffet ever. And that for €39.90. That's how I imagine food at the social table. Cheap ready-made salads thrown together, no labeling on the containers, you didn't know what you were eating at all, food stopped at 6.30 p.m filled up, although the offer was valid until 8 p.m., the only vegetables available were Leipziger Allerlei, no red cabbage, broccoli, etc., the baked apples (which no were raw from the inside because they were unfilled and with a casing, no one cared about the cleanliness of the buffet (it looked disgusting), students as waitresses who had no idea about service (food from the neighboring table was thrown together at our table), summarized .....a cheap disaster with the cheapest, unidentifiable food in an unbelievably negative atmosphere. Very, very sad to earn such a fortune.

Christmas buffet 2024 with 14 people. The quality of the food and service in no way justified the price of 39.90. Drinks were served very late after the buffet opened. The fish and baked potatoes were undercooked. The bowls at the buffet remained empty for a very long time and were sometimes not refilled at all. My wife and I recommended the restaurant to our group and then had to listen to all the hassle.

The companies had a Christmas party there. Food was okay so far. The DJ didn't have the right knack for music and was too loud. Ambiance is old-fashioned but clean.

We have been celebrating our company Christmas party here for two years. It is always beautifully decorated for us and we feel very comfortable here. The food tastes very good and the service staff are also on point. Always a funny saying on his lips. You feel very comfortable here. Only recommended!

Perfect We showed up with 8 people without booking. Despite the fact that it was actually full, the innkeeper gave us a friendly welcome. The waitresses are super friendly and the food was really excellent. 5 stars well deserved for the food 5 stars for the service 5 stars for the overall impression Can only highly recommend it Perfect We showed up with 8 people without booking.

Great place to east,good price,great service,must go!!!

Good restaurant with seasonal dishes and good home cooking. Service is good, friendly and attentive.

I can't rate the food because I didn't get any after 2 hours. After waiting for a dozen or so, the innkeeper let us know that it was being prepared. After 2 hours it was still being prepared🤔 When I asked, it got uncomfortable for me because the whole company was basically thrown out the door. I'm of the opinion that the store doesn't get multiple companies. The innkeeper was just disgusting to us. Today I found out that the rest of the party was held back for another hour and was also escorted out when they asked when the food was coming. How can you treat old people like that?

If you don't want to host a party of more than 30 people who have pre-booked for 7 p.m., you have to do that first. That at 8 p.m. after the boyish note: “The kitchen is preparing the food now” which was already there at 7 p.m., but with the addition: “I said you should take your time, a landlord also earns money in the sales of the drinks.” The fact that there is dissatisfaction is not surprising at first. As a restaurateur, not being able to deal with this is not professional, not at all. The man couldn't control himself by saying: "If you don't like it, you can leave, but then no one gets anything to eat and the drinks are on the house." So if that's the case, drink for free, we'll come back tomorrow. But nobody really wants that. It's a shame, after our successful Christmas concert, an inglorious conclusion.

Buffet was delicious. Unfortunately the plates were ice cold. Demand for drinks was very slow. Otherwise very happy with the location

A super nice German restaurant with only excellent food. Events here are always an experience.

Nice atmosphere, they are very friendly. And the food was very tasty, I'm going back next week

No matter what you order, everything is delicious and the price is very good.

The food here is phenomenal! There is a small selection, but a good one. And it's really convincing, both in terms of quality and quantity. We had different schnitzel variations and they were all great. There are many different side dishes. The food arrived super quickly and we were served very well. The boss is also funny, comes over and checks with his guests whether everything is okay. The only minor flaw is that (for me personally) the light is a bit too bright. Great store. ☝️

...the tastiest sauerbraten far and wide. ...and great employees.

We wanted some authentic German fare, and boy did we hit the jackpot. This massive old tavern style eatery is full of wood and character and atmosphere. The beer is cold and traditional. The wait staff are fantastic despite not speaking much English. Hey, we were in their country. We made it work. I got the pork schnitzel, which was exactly how I’d hoped it would be: thin, tender, bursting with flavor. I highly recommend the potato rosti. Absolutely delicious. Every dish that passed our table looked out of this world, but particularly the sauerbraten and the pork shank. Next time, I’m definitely trying one (or both). One other thing, this place has prices that are absurdly reasonable. My entree and a beer cost 13 Euro. The same thing in the US would have cost $25 and would have been inferior. I’ll be heading straight here next time I’m near Monheim.

Super relaxed atmosphere. Very tasty food. Class service. Price/performance is also absolutely okay. We will come here more often now. 😉

terrible food, everything very very oily, the juice per 0.5l served in a pint of beer tastes like beer! 😡

What a great restaurant, with delicious food and drinks, and the service is also good. Especially for the 70 year old owner/cook, what a wonderful person and all the attention he gives to his guests.

No service outside, but nice to sit in the sun.

Thank you for a successful evening, we felt very comfortable. Cozy, warm and the service admirable. Then there was the delicious food...as I said, a wonderful celebration.

The two of us were here at the end of a bike tour and ate Jäger and Paprika Schnitzel - very good and tasty. The house beer is very tasty and recommended.

Went out to dinner spontaneously today. Great beer garden with delicious food. Service team very warm. Can only recommend a visit. Greetings from Castrop-Rauxel

Very nice restaurant with super delicious food

Service was friendly, but unfortunately only 30% professional. Rump steak a 4, on a scale of 1 to 10. Was a member of a birthday party. That's why I refrained from complaining.

No matter whether it's a Christmas party or an employee summer party...we always enjoy celebrating at Pfannenhof! Many thanks to Bernhard and the entire service team

Unfortunately there are only 5 stars, otherwise I would give more. :-) I am completely satisfied with the restaurant. The food is VERY tasty. There are no long waiting times. My friend also says every time: "The Pfannenhof has the tastiest house beer." - the staff is super friendly and the boss is really great and has a great sense of humor! I can recommend the Pfannenhof to everyone.

Overall satisfied, but the service still needs a little work

The beer garden is very cozy. Very nice, young staff who provide very good service. The food was delicious, just like last time! For me, the boss is an original who is second to none. Whenever I'm here in Monheim I look forward to eating here. The price-performance ratio is great! Keep it up! I'll definitely come back!

This was my second and certainly not the last time there. The landlord is so nice and funny, the atmosphere is fantastic and the food is super delicious., 1++++++

Update July 28, 2024 We have been to Pfannenhof more often since 2022. Now, after today's visit, it's time to give a more than positive review. It was perfect again, the boss, the food, the employees, the beer garden, and even the guests. A thoroughly successful afternoon. We'll be back and as always we're thrilled. The guest is the focus here!!!! The ultimate insider tip in Monheim! Quality, friendliness and always varied food. We always enjoy coming from Mettmann. Just back for brunch at Easter. It was perfect! Now we're looking forward to the newly renovated beer garden in the inner courtyard. A place to enjoy and chat!

We were at a wedding in Pfannenhof. The food was delicious, the service was very friendly and an extra room for the children to play was the highlight 👍 ​​highly recommended

Delicious house beer. The innkeeper is a true Rhenish cheerful person.

We sat in the beautiful courtyard in sunny weather. The service was very friendly and attentive. The food came quickly and was delicious. We were completely satisfied.

Nice beer garden and friendly staff. The boss spreads a good mood, everything is friendly and uncomplicated. We would like to come back.

I was at this restaurant recently and I have to say I'm disappointed. On the menu I came across the “Zigeunerschnitzel”. The use of this term shocked me. In today's world, a restaurant should be more sensitive and avoid discriminatory terms.

Everything was perfect. The food is top notch, really delicious! And the landlord is great, very friendly and very funny. Unique. All the girls in service are also great! Play corner for children - great! All you need. :-) Thanks!

just perfect. Good old German cuisine

Delicious food and a great beer garden. Very large restaurant. Nice and funny owner who always has an easy-going saying. Price-performance ratio is right here! The service could be a little more attentive.

You feel at home there. Very good price-performance ratio. Staff very friendly.

We reserved a table by phone. The first contact on the phone was very friendly and warm. For one, the restaurant had a great ambience in the beer garden. The pancake with asparagus and cheese gratin is an absolute highlight and was very tasty. The portion is very large and the food is very fresh. The whole staff was very friendly, we will definitely come back.

Today we spontaneously went to the Pfannenhaus after the “Jugend singt” concert. We were welcomed very, very friendly by Bernhard and his team. We made ourselves comfortable in the beer garden and had a good meal at fair prices. The menu is small and manageable, but there is something for every taste. The entire team is really great, very accommodating, polite and child-friendly. There is a nice children's play area where the kids can play. We really liked the pan house. Greetings from Soest, 120km away.

We were there spontaneously for the first time yesterday and I give it 5 stars...young people are given a chance to learn here, and I think that's great - plus an owner who sometimes comes to the table in person - you feel welcome here ! The food was delicious and served quickly...Thank you, we'll be back :-)

Delicious food (lunch), friendly staff, all in all great.

I cannot say better words about Pfannenhof. The service is OUTSTANDING, the owner is from a different world: he is the nicest, welcoming, warmest, kindest, respectful and children oriented that we have ever met in Germany. The food is local, seasonal and delicious. They have an interior Biergarten and a front terrace plus all the huge interior full of independent salons that can be joined or used independently for different purposes.

Very tasty food, friendly staff. We will be back!

Good home-style food. Friendly, smiling service. It's rare to see these days. Shady places in the courtyard. Gladly again.

Rustic inn in the heart of the old town of Monheim. In addition to the standard food such as schnitzel in various variations, there are a few specialties such as kale. The food is OK, but not great. In my opinion, a lot of convenience is also used. There is a need for optimization in the service, but you have to be happy if you have any staff at all. The restaurant is already very dirty in every corner. OK but what should definitely be addressed is the vanity on the toilet, it's just disgusting.

This place is cozy. The boss is always approachable. You are treated very well as a guest. There is even a large playroom for children

Very friendly host and good food

The Pfannenhof is a family-run guest and event restaurant with local roots. Here you can experience and enjoy seasonal and traditional German home cooking and a large selection of draft beers in a rustic, rustic atmosphere. No matter whether it's a family celebration, a company event or simply a cozy meal in a small group - for us, the guest is always our priority.

A nice and old place with too many tables. As my opinion restaurant has beautiful historical view. We ordered a few dishes. Shrimp, and three different types of pork and chicken schnitzel. The quality of the food was acceptable, but the weak point of the restaurant was the lack of tomato sauce or ketchup on the tables.

A rustic cellar for celebrations. The food in the form of a buffet was okay. The service friendly. The restaurant offers various rooms. Sitting outside is also possible. There is also a playroom for smaller children 1 - 4 I would estimate. My boys 5 and 8 were too big 😉

We went to an event there (Tatort Dinner) and it was really great. Very good food. Large selection of drinks. Great service. Friendly staff. Definitely recommended.

Crime dinner. Show was funny. Food, well, service underground

We were there for the crime dinner yesterday, I gave the cards to my partner for Christmas and spent a lot of money on them. The play was funny and very good, the food and service were a disaster. A watery soup and a dessert from a tetra pack from the discount store were really a disgrace. The aperitif was also a finished product from a well-known discounter and was in the fridge and everyone could see it. I'm just disappointed, I expected more for the money.

Sehr schönes Restaurant im Brauhaus Stil. Die Speisekarte ist zwar klein, dafür aber sehr gut. Das personal ist sehr nett und wenn der Chef im Haus ist wird man meistens auch persönlich begrüßt. Perfekte Location auch für größere feiern. Man wird sehr gut bei der Planung begleitet und unterstützt.

I went to this restaurant with my family for Easter brunch today and I was absolutely thrilled! The food was delicious, the service was excellent and the atmosphere was just perfect for a relaxing afternoon. I thought it was particularly great that my two children, aged six and three, had the opportunity to play there. I highly recommend it and will definitely come back!
