Vonderbeck’s Restaurant in Cochem

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!!!

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!

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🤦‍♂️

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

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.

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

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.

It has almost become a tradition to eat here. Just like in all of Cochem, a glass of wine is very expensive. The food is bourgeois but good, you can make it as expensive and crazy as you want. Many restaurants on the boulevard have approximately the same concept, but almost none have such a beautiful location and you should take that into account, especially if you can sit outside on the balustrade. Staff are friendly and provide information about the dishes if you ask. See you next year.

Never had such a bad schnitzel before, way too small but the quality was so poor, pre-cooked supermarket schnitzel, my girlfriend had a gourmand and also factory quality. Fries were tasty. We will never come here again.

Tourist trap! We were served quickly and the food came extremely quickly. The grape juice is some kind of artificial broth that has nothing to do with grape juice. The food was extremely bad, the sauces felt like they were made from packets and getting a small schnitzel for 20 euros is absurd. I would never get anything to eat there again.

Not as bad as described in the reviews here. Great view!

I can only agree with the reviews... if you're thinking about going here to eat, I strongly advise against it. Food made from tk and prepared with little love. Disaster!

Cheapest tourist food, you usually never come back anyway, that's not possible, it's better to stay away

The food was worse than a sub-par chip shop, but extremely expensive. Never been so ripped off, never again!

You are practically escorted straight into the store, and the prices do not match those at the door, and most of the dishes advertised at the door are not even available. Not recommended

The schnitzels were made from pressed meat and had no taste. I wouldn't recommend the restaurant.

There food is not been made when you place the order, they just reheated the food with the big risk of getting food poisned! Avoid this place!

Great view of the Moselle, but that's it! Unfriendly staff and steep prices! Our request to sit on the panoramic terrace was rejected because it was full, I saw 2 occupied tables there... never again!

So it went like this: Addressed on the street. Went in. Ordered wine. Read review. Saw the good and cheap mayo and ketchup bottle in the cupboard. Went out again. Ps. The prices on the street are always the children's portion prices

Cheap wine that is sold at a very overpriced price. We will avoid this strange restaurant in the future

Never eaten so badly. Unfortunately there is no cell phone reception on site and you couldn't see the recessions. The view and staff are really ok, but the food was EXTREMELY bad!!

Had better food at motorway service stations. Looks the part, just serves over priced mid range quality foods.

We had a nice meal here. Not great, but just tasty. The prices are not too bad for a view of the Moselle.

Not received enthusiastically, food was not hot, but nice location right on the Moselle promenade

The food was so good for us that we ended up lying miserably flat with food poisoning. 3/4 days of our vacation for the ass.

Cozy place, very nice that you can have a drink for a while before starting dinner. It's nice that the employees understand that. Rump steak was excellent from the grill. Definitely visit this place once.

We paid 6 euros for a glass of coke and the food was not worth the money. It looked nice, but otherwise a lot of rubbish.

Worthless. Extensive menu but everything is assembly line work. Way too expensive for what you get. Schnitzels come straight from the fryer. The drinks are also very expensive. Glass of house wine almost 8 euros.

Very nice restaurant. Food at a good medium level

The food wasn't very good. But expensive. Not recommended

The ambience is great and the view of the Moselle is great. The food is just terrible and inedible!

Unfortunately, the restaurant disappointed my expectations. I had ordered a cordon bleu, which unfortunately turned out to be a finished product. The taste was therefore bland and artificial, and the breading seemed soggy instead of nice and crispy. For the price I was hoping for significantly more freshness and quality. However, I would like to positively highlight the friendly service, which was always attentive. However, the food does not live up to the ambience and other requirements of the restaurant. There is definitely room for improvement here.

Service & ambience good - food frozen or ready-made.

The food was substandard. Long wait while there was hardly anyone in the shop. I ordered steak pepper cream sauce with curry and béarnaise mixed in it. Putting prices on the menu of a steakhouse restaurant, er... Never come back here again!

It's best to give minus stars for the food! Way too expensive for way too bad food! Unfortunately we read the recessions too late, but unfortunately all of the bad reviews The service was really nice and accommodating, you can't say anything bad at all, the view was really nice BUT unfortunately the rest is absolutely not recommended. Stay away

0.4 wheat 6.80 euros grape juice plaice 0.2 4.80 euros, schnitzel from the deep fryer looked like something turned white, spit roast still had red meat fibers and everything with a bitter aftertaste. The first time in my life that I let food go back The microwave has to be running at full speed. Food is at its lowest limit.

Beautiful location, unfortunately the food was terrible... the star I gave here is still too much!! Typical tourist trap. The food was really varied: from bäääääh..... to gagging, in places then even yuck.Underground.... indescribable!

The service was very friendly, the location was great - that was it. Unfortunately, I also read the reviews too late...that will be a lesson for us. Schnitzel with a thick ready-made sauce, wedges tasted so chewy as if they had been waiting to be ordered for a long time. Definitely never again!

Eating is different! Expensive and run of the mill. We don't need that again. The view of the Moselle is beautiful, but the intrusive ones on the street are annoying Waiter. We felt sorry for the mostly young employees who stood for hours.

Had a very tasty meal 2 times in 1 week. Big map. Delicious steaks with tasty sauces. Even the potatoes taste delicious on their own. With a delicious, also unusually tasty, wheat beer. Cheerful service! Recommended!!!

The dishes are very basic and probably frozen, we see that it is not homemade. The tiramisus was full of water, it wasn’t crazy

Kneiter expensive for very little. Guy at the door almost pushes you in. Once upstairs, half of the guests find out that there is a storm and walk away again. We had 1 more beer, 0.4 liter for 6.80.

Pretty surprised by the reviews! Never seen 1.7 starts before! But we had a good experience there. The view was great, staff were friendly and helpful. We ordered schnitzel with mushroom sauce and we enjoyed it. I believe food and wine were overpriced that’s the only reason I gave 4 stars!

Horrible never again son chokes on whole piece of fat in meat disgusting

We were there today just to get drinks. We worry about spending every euro. Had iced tea twice and 2 liters of shandy. Iced tea was okay but the beer tasted like camel pee and smelled like it too. We left it there... 14 euros per measure is a disgrace with such quality

Essen ging so. Nix Berühmtes, eher so la la und qualitativ am unteren Rand. Dafür die Preise am oberen Level: 0,4 l Bier (Glas ohne Eichstrich), 7,90 €; Tasse Kaffee 3,90 €.

Totally agree with the other reviews. Nice view. But it's more of a snack bar. The food itself is reasonable. But nothing special, and that makes it way too expensive. They will sell you some cucumber for €5.90. Heavily overpriced, and then the drinks are €5.90 for a glass of soft drink. All in all, you pay 20% too much here. Same concept with the neighbors. In Cochem it is better to read reviews first. If someone is standing outside asking if you want to come over for dinner, you can assume that it is for a reason.

The food is terrible, schnitzel, fish, everything frozen. Super expensive for nothing. The boys were more or less trying. It is very loud on this street. The toilet is old, dilapidated, smells bad of urine.

Ein Geburtstagsessen von meiner Frau . Das war das schlimmste Geschenk in 30 Jahren. So schlimm gegessen haben wir noch nie ! Da kamen Majonaise und Cetshup per Pulle auf den Tisch, Das Besteck in einer Sammelkiste. Da hätten jetzt schon 20 Leute drin wühlen können! U dann kam das Essen. cordon bleu irgendwas innen mit Gummi! Irgendwas was Pommes waren. 2 Essen, ein Bier, ein Wein Kosten 60 Euro. Der angebliche Kellner hat nicht mal gefragt wie es geschmeckt hat. Der wusste schon warum! Laden einfach dicht machen.Bewertung unter O,!!!!!!!!

Nice place on the water, but the food is not worth the money (food and drinks in the photo were €26). I would rather spend my money at the market in the center or another nice place!

Food is below average. Had ordered schnitzel and fries with tzatziki. Fries tasted like they were fried with old oil, schnitzel was overcooked, tzatziki tasted like mayonnaise instead of yoghurt. Service was good, friendly staff though. Definitely not recommended.

Geschmacklich eine Katastrophe! Schnitzel aus der Fritte... Masse statt Klasse Eine Flasche Wasser 9,90€ Cochem hat mehr zu bieten. Geht woanders hin.

Unfortunately we also read the reviews too late, absolutely not recommended. I've never been annoyed about money I spent on a meal. The hot fat ran out of the mushrooms, the frozen schnitzels were dry with a blob of thick sauce. The main course is served no more than 3 minutes after the starter. I can't remember ever eating so badly.

Bad food with Mallorca music, the good thing is the location on the Moselle, otherwise just lousy and very overpriced. Food was at the table in 3 minutes

Good schnitzel, liter of beer, nice view, friendly staff. Delicious!

Service nice and friendly. Prices clearly too high. 4 sausages with fries and 6 drinks 72 euros. Proud price. It would have been ok if the sauce wasn't thin and the sausages would have been tasty. I emphasize the waitress was very friendly. She can't do anything about the kitchen!

It is clear that tourist traps are expensive. But here the kitchen can only do soggy fries and deep fryer schnitzels.

Is there really a cook? Waste of food! Ashamed.

Seating comfort was poor, table for 4 was more suitable for two people. Respect to the chef. I didn't think you could mess up a frozen schnitzel.

Food was great! The shop is good for a good lunch. Very respectful employees who take the time for you. Very nice looks from the restaurant. Nice mood. I don't understand why it's rated so poorly.

Great staff. Fast service. Tasty food

The fries were not tasty, quite tough and the fish was more flaky than fish. You had to eat fries, because there used to be fried fries, but not anymore. When we go back to Cochem we will look for another restaurant.

We ordered classic schnitzel. Food was on the table shortly after ordering (before the drinks). And unfortunately that's exactly how it tasted. Everything ready, just warmed up briefly. Sauce was on par with the finished sauces from the bag. What should you expect when the store puts someone down on the sidewalk who encourages people to go in. I won't eat here again. However, service was friendly, good and attentive. The view is beautiful if you get a terrace seat.

Tourist trap...the prices displayed at the entrance are cheaper than on the menu that you are given once seated...bland and tasteless industrial food...to be avoided!!!

The place is beautiful. If you can sit on the front line with a view of the river it is divine. The food is good but nothing exceptional and it is expensive. We ate pork Milanese with sauce and fries. The potatoes were very weak, the frozen ones. They took a long time. They have menus that only serve at lunch. The prices on the billboard out front are liars. They allow smoking which bothered me a lot.

A breathtaking view...and dishes to take away your appetite...Lying prices, dishonest service, regarding the atmosphere without comment. We had been warned that restaurants on the banks of the Moselle should be avoided, they are real tourist traps!! A shame!

Cochem always a bus or car ride Value. A magnet for tourists, plus the romantic Moselle valley. The ships immediately load to one Drive in. Let yourself be enchanted.

Old Swede people!!don't be as stupid as us and give this shop a wide berth! I'm glad my stomach is robust!

This tent must be closed immediately You are being ripped off right where you are 7 euros for an ice tea from the bottle!!!!!! Prices on the menu are higher than prices outside to entice you. Worst tent I've ever been to Close now!!!!!!!! Worthless 1 star is still too much Definitely don't go there Inspect this tent

Simply a disaster. The atmosphere is not clean and dirty everywhere. Instead of rump steak, just cheap meat. The food was cold and unhygienic. Employee rude and disrespectful. Very expensive. Never, ever again.

What's wrong with you?? A beer 0.4 liters 6.90. We got up straight away. We also waited over 10 minutes for service. Then just don't

Cozy restaurant with a view. Nice meal.

Bottle of water €9.90 Beer 0.4 l for v7.80€ Are you crazy?

Catastrophe!!! We were there today and regret every euro we left there. The exception was the drinks, I guess you can't go wrong with that. We ordered 4x Champion cream schnitzel (€17.90), the only FRESH thing on the plate was the parsley. The schnitzel was a mixture of rubber and partly hard as a bone, it was not a fresh schnitzel and probably more like frozen food. Unfortunately the taste of the sauce was borderline and the mushrooms were canned When we wanted to pay we were asked “Cash or with card”, “Cash everything together please” the answer was “then go downstairs” “okay woooooow!” When we wanted to leave the restaurant, we went to the toilet, but as quickly as we were inside, we were outside again, totally dirty, a smell that burned our noses and the floor was completely wet (we don't know exactly what it was) absurd, just dirty!

Too expensive for the simple snack quality

It's nothing more than a snack bar and way too expensive.

No recommendation. We walked in spontaneously. The service was positive, a lot of respect to the staff. They were very attentive. The restaurant is probably more of a tourist trap. Chicken schnitzel was actually just frozen. The sauces hardly tasted good. Prices are way too high for such poor quality. It was an absolutely bad experience in terms of the topic. The place probably only exists because of the beautiful view of the Moselle and vineyards. The music there wasn't suitable and disturbed the ambience. Thank you for reading.

Terrible food. Snitzel was very chewy. Cannot be cut. The drinks very expensive. Impatient staff. Once, but never again

The tarte flambée and the non-alcoholic hefeweizen were very tasty.

In Cochem for only three nights and it was so disappointing to spoil one of them with this food. We only had a baked potato but it was way over priced for absolute rubbish. Couldn't finish it all and walked away hungry. Service was the only thing that was ok. I wish I had have read the reviews before we chose this one. I would avoid, there are better restaurants in Cochem.

We accidentally walked into this cafe while looking for somewhere to eat. The food is expensive and not tasty, you can find something tastier. Beautiful view of the Moselle from the terrace

The food was tasty, the portion was very small, and the price for the beer blew me away. I do not recommend it due to the insane price of the beer. Beer 0.4 l. A disaster, avoid it at all costs.

So we just had a drink. That was enough too. Apparently there is only TK Schnitzel along the Moselle. So not recommended. Not to mention the prices. Drinks were already expensive enough. It's easier to settle down in one of the small streets. There are humane prices and definitely a better atmosphere!

Price-performance ratio disaster and very dingy!

A restaurant with a direct view of the Moselle in the middle of Cochem. The food was tasty and served quickly. The drinks were fresh and cool. The service was quick and attentive. Overall, a tourist restaurant geared towards a large turnover of customers.
