Vonderbeck’s Restaurant in Cochem

Where is the Economic Control Service hiding? Why isn't a restaurant like this closed immediately?

Fast service, top location but cold, blackened pork loin steak, the black spots covered with herb curd and the potato wedges burnt your tongue.

Waiters very nice and hardworking, food - at least the schnitzel - tourist trap!

We ordered schnitzels and they were absolutely not tasty. Ground meat with a crust that was certainly not breadcrumbs but some kind of smooth crust. Schnitzel was also not really warm. The schnitzels from the supermarket are even better. We join all the negative reviews. Do not eat here.

Simply bad and overpriced. I ordered three different dishes and all three were disappointing. Even the fries were undercooked. Don't go in. Poor quality and poor service add to the mix.

Absolutely disgusting. The owner seems to buy up everything here in Cochem and offers bad food and poor service to "one-time tourists." He puts on a beautiful exterior to attract walk-in customers, only to be completely disappointed. Never again!

It was very bad and I don't say that quickly Chips bad Wienersnietsel very bad Never eaten so badly in a restaurant We went to eat with 6 men and wife

A tourist trap Excessive prices and the waitress pushes you to buy Run away...

Unfortunately have to agree with the quality. Great location, good service, terrible quality.

From the very first bite, I knew this spiced meat was something truly special. Served in a stylish, oven-hot porcelain dish, the dish arrived golden brown, topped with a wonderfully crispy cheese crust that perfectly captured the spicy aroma. The meat was tender, juicy, and excellently seasoned—the balance of finely seasoned spices, delicate nutmeg, and a hint of acidity made every forkful a delight. The creamy sauce was wonderfully smooth without being heavy, and blended perfectly with the cheese and meat. I was particularly impressed by the fact that the dish wasn't overpowering—every element was perfectly cooked. A fresh slice of lemon was served with it, which, with a little squeeze, further enhanced the flavor and provided a pleasant freshness. Those who wanted could dip it with toast or baguette—the bread, too, was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Overall, the spiced meat was a real highlight – homemade, traditional, yet sophisticated. For me, it's a must for anyone who loves hearty, honest cuisine. This restaurant has proven that a seemingly simple dish can become an unforgettable taste experience with dedication and craftsmanship. Five stars – without hesitation!

I can't recommend it under any circumstances. All I can say is, please move on. The service staff are super friendly, even if you can tell the poor guys haven't really been trained. The price-performance ratio isn't right at all. The quality of the food is simply terrible... the portion sizes vary for the same dishes. The schnitzels are oozing with fat and are wobbly. The sauces, both salad and schnitzel, are so watered down that they taste like nothing. It was simply abysmal; we could have just flushed the money down the toilet.

Terrible food, ready-made products, the fat probably hasn't been changed in weeks, and it's way too expensive. It tastes better at a cheap chip shop!‼️

Very bad food. Everything ready within a minute, cold, and literally thrown on a plate. Friendly though. I would just walk on and find something else;)

Nice place to sit friendly staff. The beer is way too expensive. The food tastes good but the portions are small without salad or vegetables you have to buy them separately

The food was really not tasty and way too expensive for what it is. A chicken schnitzel that was way too thick and still raw inside. Half baked fries that only tasted of salt and sauce from a packet. No salad or any vegetables. The food is on the table within 2 minutes so you leave after 20 minutes and are 56 euros poorer with 2 people. The waiter is very friendly. I will definitely not go back. We should have read the reviews first.

We were here and the food wasn't good, like frozen food, and the drinks weren't that good either. But the service was very friendly and nice, and the view was nice, but nothing else. Better to avoid in the future...

Absolutely not recommended. The food is tasteless and the drink prices are ridiculous...they charge €7.80 for a 0.4 liter beer. You have to search for the meat for the schnitzel.

Nice location, that's the only thing, service mediocre, food ready (too) quickly, very bad food, schnitzel came out of the microwave limp and not warm, drinks very expensive, we will not go back

Food was too simple. Ready-made schnitzel with fries thrown on plate and done. 6 euros for a coke is also unheard of. View was great hence 1 star for the beautful view.

In short, one of the worst "restaurants" I've ever been to. Exorbitant prices for average takeaway food. The schnitzel was a convenience product, meaning it wasn't breaded or fried, but served with fries, which weren't even cooked properly. The roast was riddled with tendons and fat lumps and, instead of a spicy gravy, was served with some kind of yogurt dip. Poorly presented plates, lackluster staff, and a carafe of table water (0.7 L) that you can get for €10. Vastly overpriced and inedible, but unfortunately not an exception in Cochem!

Absolutely disappointing – never again! We arrived at the restaurant at 8:00 p.m. and had to wait a full 30 minutes for the waiter, until we finally had to call him ourselves. We ordered fish and schnitzel – both looked suspicious from the start, and the taste confirmed our suspicions: they were clearly frozen food that had simply been warmed up. The waiter even admitted it himself! I've never experienced anything like this before – simply embarrassing. We paid 40 euros for two people, and it was truly inedible. Absolutely not recommended!

The cucumber salad that is offered is €6 euros! Otherwise eaten fine, flammenkuchen was cold. The view was nice.

I can only agree. Tourist trap, the most expensive beer I've ever drunk, €7.50. Schnitzel is dirty, as are children's plates and toilets, that says it all. If you point this out to the staff, you just get the answer "We're temporary workers from Romania or something else." Never again.

Food was cold and indicated you get a new one but that was also cold and you get the main course almost at the same time as your starter, Indicated but you are treated very badly almost rudely there. They themselves do not come up with solutions eventually only 2 main courses not having to pay where we were with 11 people. So I will not come here anymore.

The starters were really delicious, but the food was even more disappointing! The schnitzel was dripping with fat, the currywurst was a watery paprika sauce. You had to go downstairs to pay and one of the waiters didn't wash his hands after using the toilet. You could have invested the €70 differently! Unfortunately far from a "restaurant"..

A disgrace, warmed-up ready-made food for a price that is far too high. When the food came I thought, so fast? When I looked at the plate I knew why. Never again

Mushrooms come from a can and the chicken schnitzel is pressed chicken. Looks like a big chicken nugget.

We were lured in from the street. It shouldn't have happened to us. But good. The food is not fundamentally bad. But it has “swimming pool quality”. The schnitzels seem to be ready-made, just like the fries. The cola tastes like cheap cola. Price-performance is simply not right here! Ambiance like on Malle. There is no recommendation from me.

Food was good, just a bit expensive…

Absolutely outrageous, 2 small wheat beers 15.80 euros. Didn't even taste good, not recommended 👎

People complain too much, mainly Dutch people, it's just a good place, the food doesn't get cold quickly on your table. Nice atmosphere, nice music, nothing wrong with that.

Ik weet niet waarom de Nederlanders allemaal zo lopen te zeuren maar dit is gewoon een goede tent om even snel lekker wat te eten. Aardig personeel en snel je eten op je bord WARM. Niet KOUD. Mensen verdienen wat meer hier aangezien de reviews ontzettend slecht zijn heb ik samen met mijn vriend een overheerlijke kurry worst op met friet. Je kreeg zelfs een fles mayonaise bij je friet. Goede tent , zeker aan te raden.

I ate delicious seasoned meat and fries.

Food is okay but really, quality and money you have to pay is antisocial. 5.90 for a Coke Zero. Drinks are more expensive here than food. Not recommended if you want cheaper and more quality for your money. Felt ripped off here

Food disgusting. Frozen food! Drinks completely overpriced. Staff goes like this. Friendly is different. Never again!!!!! Then it's better to go to the chip shop.

The shop doesn't belong on the promenade. No fresh goods but frozen meals at higher prices. Every snack is superior to him.

Everything was great, the food was tasty, the service was great, the staff was great

Can understand the bad reviews. The prices are absolutely outrageous. I just ordered a coffee. The coffee milk that came with it was 5 months(!) expired. This was floating around in crumbs on my coffee. I complained and got a new coffee with milk in a shot glass. But I left this one standing. Ambience is nice.

Not recommended, first & last time there, Food bad basement bad otopic prices

Das Essen ist eine Katastrophe……. unverschämt und nie nie wieder!!!!! Während wir hier sitzen nur Beschwerden …… Essen wurde abbestellt ☝️das ganze ist ein einziger Witz 🤮 Absolute Abzocker Touristen Bude!!!!!

Unfortunately, steak was very dry, potato wedges were okay, I would have liked a dip or sauce with it, only even drier with fried onions; 0.2l wine was also served in a 0.2l glass - full to the brim; Wine wants to breathe; Unfortunately, the waitress wasn't very friendly and attentive, guests went to the counter to pay; partially worn seat covers in the interior; the only nice thing really is the view; Price-performance overpriced

The first impression was good, but then came the food. The Pizzeria La Grande - a few doors down - also belongs to this company. Poor quality guaranteed. At least the service was really good and the dry rose wine was also good. The food? Doesn't need repeating. Extremely expensive and very poor performance.

Immediately had diarrhea after eating. Service doesn't listen. Toilet seat covered in piss. Schnitzel, fries, mayo and ketchup from the discount store. Absolute failure. Simply disgusting. Zero stars!!!!!!!!!!

We thought you can't go wrong with a coffee....unfortunately you can! You can't even do that. It's a real shame because the location is really nice. Unfortunately, people here rely on tourists who don't do any research beforehand and don't come again. The money was then collected.

Super schlechtes Restaurant und Essen. Sie locken mit falschen Preisen am Eingang und in der Karte viel teurer. An einer guten Pommesbude ist das Essen wesentlich besser. Nicht noch einmal !!!!

The food is terrible! Ready schnitzel with fries and a bottle of “Gut und Günstig Mayo” ready sauce with canned mushrooms. For €14.90 senior portion! For comparison, a friend had a normal schnitzel that was smaller than mine for €18.90!

The food wasn't good, fries almost cold, schnitzel also almost cold, 1 glass of cola €5.90, 1 small bottle of water €4.40 😡 really rude, I'll never go there again! Mayonnaise from Edeka. I definitely can NOT recommend it! I think you'll regret it!

Reasonable food for a lot of money. Schintzel was small and fat. Steak was large and tasty but lukewarm. No next time.

It couldn't be worse. You can't eat the food and that's true! The 0.4 liter beer for just 7.80 is really a bargain. Better to eat somewhere else.

Als je van onvriendelijk personeel en koude gerechten houdt dan moet je zeker hier een keer langsgaan! Bediening was kortaf en niet echt behulpzaam met uitleg aan een kind wat met ons mee was. Bier smaakte naar… afwasmiddel. Het eten was steenkoud en nadat we het teruggestuurd hadden kreeg de ene het warm en de ander het nog net niet eens lauw aangeboden met koude friet. Zeer slecht al met al en gaan er ook nooit meer terug, m’n maag moet het nog verwerken.. 🤢

Very bad and expensive. Schnitzel was mediocre and the €11 salad was not even worth €1. Coke €7. Feeling really screwed…. Stomach ache the next day. Stay away from here….

The food is absolutely disgusting. Ready meals at the price of a star restaurant. Two schnitzels and two beers for €60. Pay attention to the mayonnaise in the picture. Absolutely not recommended. It was bad. We only went in because it looked good from the outside. But that was it

Frozen products in a restaurant are a no go. The prices are like in a star restaurant, really not normal. The food was very bad.

Das war der schlimmste Besuch in einem Restaurant ever. Das kann man nicht mal Fraß nennen. Später habe ich mich mit einer Kellnerin eines anderen Restaurants unterhalten. Sie meinte, der Betreiber hat mehrere Läden und macht bald einen weiteren auf. O- Ton Betreiber: Die kommen eh alle nur einmal. Ich werde mein Vorgehen nicht ändern. Die Bewertungen sind mir egal. Dazu fällt mir nur ein Begriff ein: Verbrecher. Dem sollte man das Handwerk legen.

Beautiful view of the Moselle and period. The toilet is dead, the food is tasteless, I don’t recommend visiting, a trap for tourists!!!!

One can definitely only agree with the previous speakers. The food is really terrible, I've never had such a bad meal before. Our service was sometimes nice, but not necessarily competent. I guess these are the new workers? The ambience - the view of the Moselle is very nice, but when I think about the fact that the tables are so weathered... Steak: For the same price I get excellent quality for a good steak at my Italian restaurant, this year was very like leather. I left it behind twice and wasn't charged either. I think Dehoga probably doesn't train here at all. 😉. Here you can only say mass instead of class! Actually, I should have been suspicious of the “diverse” dishes on the menu. Well, you always fall for it.

DANGER!!! Absolutely lousy and disappointing! We chose this restaurant because we had a nice day traveling and were looking forward to the grilled specialties advertised. The ambience is rustic and the view of the Moselle is quite beautiful! Schlager music is playing in the background to underline the mood?! Inappropriate in my opinion. We asked about specifically recommended non-alcoholic drinks. This was answered with cola, soda or water... The beer was also probably recommended. To eat we ordered a mushroom cream schnitzel and a rump steak with herb butter. We weren't asked for medium or rare! Drinks and food were served very quickly! The drinks were absolutely nothing special, unfortunately! The beer was quite watery, the iced tea was 0815 Then the food came. The steak was completely cooked through and tasted without any seasoning. Even the herb butter couldn't save it. Everything about the grilled taste was missing The fries were the normal thin fries. They didn't know salt. Steakhouse fries would have been recommended. The schnitzel was looked for under the breading. The meat was pounded very thin and fried too hot. (You couldn't tell it was on a grill or pan) The sauce only covered the middle of the schnitzel. The price is a disgrace! 36 euros for the rump steak is a complete rip-off! A disappointment for the day, we set off and were more than surprised at the end of the day. Stay away!

What can I say? I should have read the reviews before entering the place. Food of subterranean quality. Offering 0.4 liter soft drinks for €5.90 is beyond outrageous.

Prices like a 5 star restaurant...the food was disgusting, substandard...couldn't and didn't want to finish eating. Baguette with garlic butter for €6.90 just had to take a photo. I didn't rate the food because there's nothing to rate...

At first glance it looks like a cozy restaurant with many options. My friend had a steak with garlic butter. The meat was good, but the butter was in a container and was clearly not homemade. I myself had a flamkuchen of salmon and shrimp. This clearly came from the freezer and I think even from the supermarket. No shrimp in sight. The flamkuchen was cold when it was served and I had to wait 20 minutes for a new one from the freezer. Ultimately paid over 70 euros for little quality and 4 wines. They advertise outside with cheap prices, but in the end you pay much more and you go home hungry.

Not recommended, tourist trap! The food wasn't good at all and everything was way too expensive, a wheat beer was 0.4 and a shandy was 6.80 each.

When we had just ordered, we looked at the reviews, we should have done that immediately. Drinks were expensive and really not tasty, the food was very mediocre and quite expensive (16 euros). Lost a total of 34 euros.

Delicious food and friendly service

The cutlery was in a container with dried vomit in it.

Food was good, but drinks were overpriced, which borders on rip-off! It was bitterly cold in the restaurant and we left our jackets on. Apparently the heating was broken.

This restaurant is a memory that will never leave our stomach. Just the view of the numerous houses opposite, which were further emphasized by the colorful garbage cans, awakened my inner child. The food refreshed my little gums. The exquisite beer, after four, warmed our hearts. We will always keep this event in our hearts. Thank you for this experience!

It wasn't good and simply not recommended. We had to wait an hour for the food even though there wasn't much going on

Best food outside my own kitchen.

The decor might be a good place to start. Too bad we heat a large room with the front door open and zero degrees outside. Long live savings and drafts. Service without any motivation. Excessive prices considering the food.

The worst restaurant since restaurants existed.😱

Had a nice meal and had a nice small beer.

Tourist trap! The ambience looks nice, but this is exactly what causes you to be lured in. The service was nice and quick, but seemed to have no idea what ingredients the dishes were made from (probably because everything was frozen). The food is absolutely overpriced and not tasty: for a chicken schnitzel from the refrigerator with "cream sauce" (which consists only of fat and a few sliced ​​champions) with thin fries (which I get at the kebab shop next door) you pay just under €22. For a 0.4 Cola you pay just under €6. Unfortunately, even the schnitzel in the university cafeteria tastes better. The restaurant owners seem to have another restaurant nearby, which can be recognized by its similar decoration and ambience, so be careful.

Glühwein was prepared in a kettle, and taste was not good.

We didn't like the food and it was very expensive. I don't recommend to anyone.

Never again, aioli was spoiled and the fries were warmed up and hard.

They better close the doors, how terribly bad!!

I haven't had such bad food in a long time. The food arrived at the table almost cold. Fries totally light and not really cooked through. Schnitzel went like this. The coleslaw tasted a bit sour. We had to pay €53 for 2 drinks, 2 schnitzels and the coleslaw. That was money wasted. Let's see if my stomach can handle the food. I feel a bit sick now

All the negative reviews here are correct. Bad, very strangely rushed service, who tried to sell us all sorts of extra things (expensive salad, for example)... luckily we didn't fall for that. Very expensive drinks (8.90 for a glass of bad Riesling (was just sour, had probably been open for days), 4.40 for an open bottle of water without a cap, I suspect that it is constantly refilled with tap water), bad snacks with mushrooms and sauce from a bag/jar. Sad portion of cheap frozen fries from the wholesaler. Very poor with Mayo and ketchup from a bottle from the supermarket. Furthermore, the music in the store was way too loud. We quickly ate the whole tasteless situation, paid and left. Then looked at the reviews. If only we had done that before. But our experience is that everywhere in Germany a snitzel with fries and salad is just fine. This case is a disgrace and an insult to restaurants that make an effort to make something of it. Bad advertising also for the otherwise nice town of Cochum. Just get something delicious to eat and drink at the Christmas market!

Way overpriced! We paid 20 out of 110 eur for 2 bottles of mineral water (were already opened) . Restaurant closed at 21:00 and they refused even to give us a glass of tap water to finish our red wine (we mix it with)

Overpriced, poor service and low quality. Bottled still water costs 9, are you crazy? They came at 9pm to collect the money for the bill without asking for a last round or something and did not even give us tap water for the left wine we had on the table after paying the bill. Of course no tip deserved for ruining a nice evening.

Great food, large menu, pleasant staff and good atmosphere

I was looking forward to a good schnitzel. That disappointed me. Nice wine and nice staff. It was very busy, so it took a long time for the food to arrive.

Attracted by the relatively nice ambience, we entered the "restaurant". Unfortunately without reading the Google reviews first. We had barely sat at the table when we were asked for drinks without first seeing the menu. The drinks are absolutely overpriced. The food came out of the deep fryer. By fish & chips I mean something different. The fried fish is not edible! The fries were cold and tasteless. Not a small side salad. For over €13, it's a disgrace. A small snack can do that better. We expect different quality in a restaurant. Eating causes stomach pain. An absolute failure!

Don't let yourself be lured in!!! The food was brought for 5 people after 7 minutes. Food greasy, hard, partly burnt. None of it was freshly prepared. The food description does not match reality. The map on the outside poster sounds good, but it has nothing to do with the map inside. The waiter tried hard, everything else was more than subpar. That's what happens when you let yourself be seduced by the external appearance and don't look at the reviews.

The daily menu was a disaster. Tomato soup was okay. The Tom steak with fried onions and potato corners was a disaster. The steak wasn't fried properly. The potato corners were just dripping in fat when you cut them. They were prepared in the deep fryer. Very bad. We had the next day some more of the bad food

Not sure all the low rating review but mine was fine though. The waiter super friendly and can speak well English which helped a lot since we only know English.. environment and location also super strategic to visit cochem castle! Food wise not bad for us except the onion ring a little too hard. The rest is ok for us.

Main course was served before the starter was even finished. The table has already been cleared while you are still eating...salt and pepper gone before you have finished eating... Charges for things you don't order!!!!! Attention people! Pure scam! If you indicate that you did not order it, they will say that it is the case, but that you ordered it from another colleague.

Preferably minus points. I have never experienced anything so bad, be it the food or the service. The food inspectors should take a look. It was more than inferior and at a high price too.

Unfortunately it wasn't just my food that wasn't good but a customer refused to pay for their food. So bad. I won't say that my experience is someone else's, of course. My girlfriend had a nice meal. She would recommend the Schnitzel.

So we couldn't complain at all. Schnitzel was very good and at a fair price. Waiters were very nice and on the ball. Can't understand the bad reviews.

The restaurant was well attended and the atmosphere was nice. The service was also okay, as was the food. I have to note that the Cordon Bleu was not served as advertised at 180 grams, it was significantly less! Be careful when looking through the menu before you go into the restaurant, prices start from..., then it starts with a small price for a senior plate and then becomes a few euros more expensive if you order it as a normal portion! But that's how it's done in most places!

Great food, especially if you love snitsel, like me. The termisu for dessert is recommended. You just have to take your time, so don't be in a hurry when you order Irish. Let's just say it helps you unwind. Restaurant consists of 2 floors with panoramic views over the Moselle.

God help!!!! Never again!!! That was a straight 6. Really fell in as a tourist. In the front row on the promenade with lots of “Blink, Blink”. With a great view of the Moselle. Ordered a tarte flambée as a starter for 6 people. This arrived at our table lukewarm. When we told the waiter that it was lukewarm, we got the answer: that can't be the case. 🤷‍♂️Huh… I beg your pardon. Okay, I'll put it in the oven again. After about 15 minutes our tarte flambée came back to our table. Unbelievable: now he was frozen!!!!. So back again. Then came our main course. Schnitzel with fries, nothing unusual actually. Absolutely bland in taste. No taste. We didn't have to pay for the tarte flambée. But they don't see me there anymore. That's why such a review on Google. Totally justified. Not recommended!!!

Together with my wife we ​​were looking for a cozy restaurant and this is certainly what it looks like. Very friendly young lady came to take our order and we ordered a liter of Riesling, a bottle of water and calamari and warm mushrooms in garlic as a starter. Because we were really hungry, we ate the mushrooms even though they were deep-fried with a crispy crust around them, which we certainly had not thought of. Do not eat the calamari. After eating a few of them, I first thought of squeezing them in a napkin to get some of the oil out, but no, how can you serve calamaris that tasted like a floury dough ring wrapped in an oil-filled crust like that. Then the main course. I had schweinehaxe with fried potato slices and my wife a medium steak with mushroom sauce and also fried potato slices. A couple behind us left the restaurant and told us that they hoped for our sake that we had not ordered a steak as it was not tasty. And indeed, A tough, chewy pop was still tender. My wife left it after 3 bites and we didn't touch the potato slices after a few pieces. The fat dripped out of there too. Nevertheless, the schweinehaxe was okay, but it doesn't touch a deep fryer and is well wrapped in its own skin. So it would be great if you messed that up too. The Riesling and the bottle of water tasted fine, but after paying where they did take my wife's dish away, we went for a 5 km walk with a nauseous feeling, where I was able to spit out part of it myself, but my wife was unable to do so and Instead of going to a nice cafe, we ended up in bed quite miserable, where there is no fun to be had in that mood🤦‍♂️

Wucher! Essen in mieser Qualität zu absolut unverschämten Preisen! Erinnerte eher an Imbissbude statt Restaurant und da ist die Qualität sicher besser! Nie wieder!

Too bad, this really wasn't tasty. Food too greasy, calamari tasted like dough ball in grease. Squeezed into napkin, fat dripped out. Main course, a tough beef steak, was really impossible. When I added the fries, the fat also dripped out. Wine and water were fine. The waitress did take my dish off the bill. We didn't have to pay for something that was very dirty. But I would have preferred a nice meal. Atmosphere was nice along the Mosel.

The restaurant is not recommended! The food is like in a snack bar and the prices are exorbitant.

Excellent food in a beautiful location. Unfortunately little to no service.

One point goes to the beautiful ambience. The food wasn't good. The taste was a disaster, I didn't know you could mess up fries. I experienced it for the first time. You come out disappointed. Far too little for too much money, that's for sure!! We were tempted by the beautiful view. Service was good. The food was at the table relatively quickly. The service can't do anything about the food

Rarely have I eaten such a bad and cheaply made schnitzel. The meat was OK, the breading was so hard that it broke apart when I poked it. Onion schnitzel with fried onions that are not even home-made but rather from a can of fried onions (possibly also in a kg package). Service was okay and the ambience was great. In my opinion the prices are too high for the fairly modest quality.
