Waldrestaurant Gut Entenpfuhl in Aachen

We had a wonderful evening yesterday. The delicious food was served almost simultaneously thanks to the excellent service. A truly successful evening. Many thanks to the entire team.

Yes, definitely recommended. Great service, very fast, and everything delicious.

Great, only there was no goose on the menu. We were there in the wrong season. What a shame. But another choice was quickly made.

Very cozy restaurant in the middle of the forest. 🌳 Several terraces where you can eat. The menu is limited. Standard German dishes, nothing special. Nice playground.

Great atmosphere, good food, and friendly service. Highly recommended!

The new young waiter, around 20, is really cute. He's sure to appeal to a lot of women. I've been wondering if he's dating the waitress with long hair, also in her early twenties...?

A cozy restaurant nestled in the forest with a good selection of dishes for adults, children, and seniors. The portions were generous and delicious. Children can be entertained with the adjoining mini-golf course, the soccer goal on the lawn, or the playground. A beautiful and large terrace. There are many ducks in the adjacent pond. Highly recommended for all ages and a cross-generational outing.

Beautifully situated terrace. Good service and food.

Great location and delicious food

We visited the mini golf course with our children and were absolutely thrilled! The entire facility is very well-maintained, lovingly designed, and the groundskeeper constantly ensures that everything stays clean and tidy – you can tell right away. The courses are varied and really fun – for both children and adults. Afterwards, we went to the adjacent restaurant for a drink and an ice cream. Everything there was great, too: friendly staff, a nice atmosphere, and fair prices. Particularly practical: While we were still sitting comfortably, the children could let off steam on the fantastic playground directly adjacent. Conclusion: A place where you and the whole family feel really comfortable – we'll definitely be back! However, there is some room for improvement with the slide, which is located under a fir tree and is therefore completely covered in resin. It needs a thorough cleaning or a small roof should be considered.

Very nice and delicious restaurant in the middle of nature

The waiter in the outdoor courtyard on June 1, 2025, was rude, vulgar, and violent. We asked for a table for 11 people. There were no seats available. He simply replied, "There are no seats available," in a dry and disrespectful tone. We sat separately, and it was fine. I don't understand why he didn't offer to separate us. He seems unhappy with his job; he should go home. Otherwise, the place is very nice; the prices for a coffee and a slice of cake are reasonable, and the waitress, who was also in the courtyard, was very friendly, efficient, and professional.

Delicious German food in the heart of a beautiful forest! Plenty of play space for the kids! A wonderful place for both young and old!

Always worth a visit! We've never been disappointed. Very child-friendly.

Good, home-style German cuisine. Friendly service. I would definitely recommend making a reservation, as it's always full.

Simply top-notch. And a store like this has to close due to staffing issues 🫣

We've been privileged to live next door to this wonderful restaurant for four years now. The Peters family will no longer be managing Entenphul at the end of the year. We will enjoy every second of this year and hope that, after three generations of the Peters family, a worthy successor will lead this truly exceptional restaurant into the future. We're very excited, but still a little sad.

Good food, very nice ambiance, good service. Highly recommended.

Everything is a little old. But the service and food are good.

Absolutely. It's good that a new tenant was found

Great food, great service, lots of play options for children. We were thrilled! Thanks

Always great. Excellent food, very friendly staff and reasonable prices

Price-performance ratio and taste is right, ambience is very nice (inside/outside), good, friendly service

We had asparagus cream soup as a starter and rump steak with mushrooms as our main course. It was super tasty and we can only recommend the restaurant.

The menu is great. the employees are very nice and polite. with a beautiful view. a beautiful place

Nice location, good food, attentive and courteous service...

Idyllic forest restaurant. The staff was friendly.

Really great. What lovely people to serve. And what a beautiful environment. And the food is delicious with good value for money. We will definitely come back.

We came here for many years, 3 generations, but it became way to expensive.

Delicious food! Neat, friendly and good service, fast. Food was very good.

We went there during the summer. The weather was pretty good. so many people over there. We were ignored for quite a long time. But I can understand, the staffs there were simply too busy to take care of everyone.

Enjoy your meal. Very nicely located. Even though it was busy, we were served very well.

Extremely tasty. Exclusive environment, secluded in the forests of Greater Aachen. Very nice, typical German decor in the restaurant. It was great and the bill was very democratic. This restaurant is the place to be. Warm service, delicious food. Highly recommended!

Very good food. The atmosphere corresponds to a restaurant with a price range of 40-50€ but no dish over 30€. Very nice service. Tomato soup and rump steak were both very tasty.

A nice restaurant in the middle of the forest.

Ate a whole goose with four friends. The goose couldn't be bettered, tender, juicy, without the often typical goose smell, skin crispy. The side dishes of red cabbage, Schupfnudeln, spaetzle, Brussels sprouts and the apple filling were ok, but not at the top level of the goose. Service was very good, the atmosphere there was very old-fashioned and out of date.

Traditional cuisine, always very tasty. Service nice and attentive. Prices absolutely reasonable. Also recommended for larger groups, of course with advance notice.

I have been here several times and it has always tasted very good. The service is generally good, also in terms of child-friendliness. Some of the facilities are no longer top notch.

Food very tasty 😋 I can recommend wienerschntzel...order mayo or ketchup with it...table is always full before reserving

The room staff is really not friendly! To the point of making me forget the quality of the cuisine! Despite the beautiful location in the woods and the beautiful establishment, I no longer intend to return there.

Everything is fine as always when we are there.

The schnitzel with cognac sauce was a real disappointment. The quality was "Aldi goods", the breading was, in my opinion, frozen goods and the assumption that the cognac was drunk by the chef and was therefore missing.

The restaurant's surroundings are very inspiring, suitable for all ages, a small pond with ducks, a meadow with donkeys, a well-maintained mini golf course, a playground and last but not least a restaurant with delicious cakes and friendly service. All in all, I can only recommend it!!!

Great service team, great and delicious food, rustic atmosphere

Food was good, but upscale price range. When the restaurant is full, the air is quite stuffy. Nice atmosphere, especially the surroundings. The service was super fast, maybe a little slow.

Very nice excursion restaurant on the edge of the forest near Aachen. The food is good and the service is also very friendly. You can relax on the large sun terrace. There is mini golf, a playground and a donkey and sheep meadow all around. Pure idyll! Various hiking trails lead from the Entenpfuhl into nature and even to the border triangle. Really nice.

Die Kellner sind sehr aufmerksam und verdammt nett! Das Essen war frisch, lecker und es gibt eine große Auswahl, so ist für jeden etwas dabei. Das Restaurant ist einfach zum wohlfühlen und jederzeit einen Besuch wert. Ich freue mich jetzt schon auf das nächste Essen dort :)

Very tasty dishes that are worth the money. The pear tart is a delight.

Had a delicious meal there yesterday after a long hike. I'd love to come back.

In the Waldrestaurant Gut Entenpfuhl the food, service and ambience are very good. All in all, 5 stars for that. It's worth going there once. We were there with 4 people and everyone was very enthusiastic and would like to come back.

Very pleasant and authentic atmosphere and the food was excellent.

Great atmosphere and surroundings. A delicious coffee after mini golf.

Went there with a larger group and were able to order a la carte from the small menu. Top! Ordering was quick, the food arrived warm and the quality was impressive. The service was on point and also fulfilled special requests. Top!

This is NOT how good service works! Yesterday we wanted to celebrate my husband's birthday with a meal at Gut Entenpfuhl. When I made the reservation, I was told that at 1 p.m. only the table right next to the entrance door would be free. Since this place is very restless and loud, I made a reservation at 2:30 p.m. because I was assured of a nice, quiet place. When we arrived at the restaurant we were not greeted and ignored. Only after speaking to us several times were we grumpily led to the table right next to the entrance door and then the waitress left again. We tried to speak to a cellar several times but we were ignored again. I then got up and checked out a cellar and explained to him in a friendly manner that we had made a reservation for a later date so that we wouldn't get this loud table. He reacted very grumpily and said the other table was occupied. Since we were not offered an alternative, not even to wait a moment, we canceled the reservation. An unforgettable birthday dinner at Gut Entenpfuhl... in a negative sense. I have never felt so unwelcome in a restaurant and we will not recommend it.

Disappointing service – Unfriendly waiter Unfortunately I cannot recommend this restaurant due to the poor service. The waiter was extremely rude and refused to serve us, saying he had other guests. We felt completely unwanted and were treated unprofessionally. It's disappointing to experience such poor service, especially when you're looking forward to a lovely evening. Too bad!

Today we were very disappointed. We had reserved a table for today. They said on the phone that only the uncomfortable one at the entrance was available, but 1.5 hours later a better one was available. No problem for us, we'll take the appointment. We were there at the agreed time. And we were abruptly seated at the table at the entrance without a greeting. That wasn't what we wanted. So I looked for another waiter and explained the matter. He checked again, it was true. But our table was given despite reservations. And the other free ones are reserved. So eat later or use the table at the entrance. There was no apology. So we said, let's cancel now and find another restaurant. Now the waiter stammered something like, it's not possible, and let's see. We said goodbye and left. That's no way to keep customers. We won't come back and won't recommend the restaurant.

Great ambience, friendly service. The waitress recognized me after more than 30 years, very nice encounter. ThanksY. Always my pleasure

Steak was served raw instead of medium rare. Added a few croquettes. Chicory in the salad made it very bitter. Fries had to be shared. Coca Cola tasted strange. Ice cream was weak in taste and stored incorrectly. Service didn't seem very motivated. View was very enchanting.

Very pleasant service and tasty food in a quiet atmosphere. Beautiful outdoor terrace and play area for children.

Professional service, great locations (a dream on the terrace under the trees on hot days) and good food - and for me as a child from Aachen, great childhood memories! B.B

Always my pleasure. The food is good and the service is good

Very friendly staff and reasonable prices!!!

We had a small family celebration where we wanted to celebrate our daughter passing her doctoral exam. The chanterelle dishes were very disappointing as there were hardly any chanterelles to be found in the dishes apart from the sauce. There were 2 chopped chanterelles on my pork fillet. I didn't want to disrupt our party and therefore didn't express any criticism. In my opinion, something like that doesn't work at all!! The special menu is not unacceptable and we are very disappointed on this point!

Das Lokal ist gemütlich und gepflegt. Der Service war gut. Es gab eine Sonderkarte mit Pfifferlingsgerichten. Leider waren in meinem Gericht nur 2!! winzige Pfifferlinge zu finden, die anderen Familienmitglieder hatten minimal mehr.Der Rest bestand aus Soße!! Das finde ich inakzeptabel. Die Sonderkarte ist nicht wert, was sie verspricht, zumal es in diesem Jahr viele Pfifferlinge gibt. Geschmacklich war das Essen gut.

A good ice cream and a holiday feeling

Large and good selection of menu! Very good and friendly service!👍👍👍

Update recession 08/2024 Went to the Waldrestaurant Gut Entenpfuhl again this year during our summer vacation in the Eifel. It was very good again. The food was great and the service was very friendly. Even though there were a lot of guests there, our food came shortly after we ordered. We can therefore unreservedly recommend the restaurant. ************************ Recession,08/2023 Great restaurant with a great location in the forest. Sat in the beer garden in the shade under a tree - it was very pleasant to sit despite the summer temperatures. Drinks and food were served quickly even though it was busy. Everything tasted very good. We had the fillet plate and the pork medallions. There is also a nice playground in front of the restaurant so that parents can sit and relax while the kids are busy. There is also mini golf course here. But this is apparently from the "70s", i.e. only concrete tracks. Unfortunately it is completely in the sun, i.e. no shade from trees etc.

Sometimes a little "outdated", but quick, trained staff and highly recommended for children when the weather is good, because of the playground and - in my opinion. Minigolf course, probably for a fee.

The three of us walked in here on a Friday evening without a reservation. It was a beautiful day and unfortunately all the tables outside were reserved. So we ate inside. Old-fashioned well-set tables with starched table linen. Cutlery and glasses shine. The map is concise and that is usually a good sign. The prices are not too bad, slightly higher than most restaurants we regularly visit, but certainly not expensive. Despite the enormous crowds, our order was on the table in no time. And everything tasted delicious. It's also nice that the (delicious) wine is served in a small jug. A beautiful place in both summer and winter. We will definitely come back here!

Mini golf OK. Railways not the newest but usable. Food too expensive for what is offered. Basically the quality is okay, but it all looks a bit sparse. For the price I expect more. The croquettes as a side dish were the cheapest thing the metro still had. Meat OK but also far from perfect. At least the beer was cold✌️

Great location just outside of Aachen. A hike or a walk through the forest, before or after a meal, is no problem. The food was good, the service too.

Restaurant is also suitable for special occasions. Completely satisfied.

Ein erstklassiges Haus. Die Speisen sind durchweg von höchster Qualität, bei jedem Besuch, und es waren schon viele, begeistert . Toller Service, abwechslungsreiche Karte. Nette Auswahl an Getränken. Auch Kaffee und Kuchen, Spitzenqualität.

There are also changing dishes, highly recommended.

Delicious Aachen beer drunk in good company after a bike tour. Great location and friendly service.

Great restaurant. Price level higher than usual, but pure quality. Great atmosphere in the middle of the Aachen Forest with mini golf and a playground. A day of vacation in the middle of Aachen.

The simple schnitzel was simply delicious. Juicy, fine but not small, the breading is also very good, crispy, slightly greasy and juicy, the meat is incredibly tender. The side salad was super tasty. The herring plate was also surprisingly good. The beans were very good as was the matjes. We were able to choose boiled potatoes and fried potatoes as a side dish as an extra request. Sat in the courtyard on the terrace with a very good simple meal with a beautiful lukewarm sunset. Oh well, the mousse au chocolat with fresh fruit was a more than successful conclusion. We look forward to next time.9.9/10 💪🏽

Nicely located, mini golf course

very nice cozy restaurant, very good cuisine Outside dining, it's best to make a reservation, very pleasant even on hot days.

Unfortunately, in order to be able to sit in the shade, waiters direct an electric vehicle driver up the stairs to the inner courtyard terrace so that they can sit in the shade, although there is space in the driveway. 3 waiters attack the remembered woman and politely remove her from the premises. It's a shame, we didn't pass the test, we won't be a customer here.

We have been coming back to eat for many years. It's always like a little vacation. The service is excellent and professional. The food tastes excellent and always comes fresh from the kitchen.

Excellent menu, great service and exclusive ambience. Certainly again. Steak very tender!

Very dog ​​and child friendly with a nice playground and plenty of different seating options (covered outside, open air, indoors). Relaxing destination to eat cake, play mini golf and then take a walk in the surrounding forest

I have known the restaurant since I was a child and now we celebrated our wedding there. Everything was perfect, the ambience, the staff was super attentive and polite, the table decorations were lovingly prepared and the food (buffet) was, as always, very tasty. The celebration lasted "a little longer" -;) but everyone was still in a good mood until the end and fulfilled all of our wishes. We look forward to being guests there again and thank you again for the great support! A real recommendation from Claudia and Stephan

The food was almost perfect. Fresh, to the point, regional, portions just right. Simply delicious. The whole ambience with the huge area around it does the rest. But: beware of the “watchdog” 😄

Really tasty and (as far as I can tell) high quality food. No warmed ready-made food. The ambience is great. Close to the city but in the middle of the countryside. The children can run around and dogs are taken care of.

Very nicely located in the forest, parking spaces available. Recommended restaurant with beautiful outdoor dining. Menu of soup, fish + meat, vegetarian food and dessert, afternoon cake. Not to forget the helpful and very friendly ladies/gentlemen in service. A visit that is worthwhile, even with children. Reservations are advisable.

Some waiters are very unfriendly, others are very nice. Child-friendly and also great for dogs. Quality and price match. To recommend....

A better class forest restaurant, always a pleasure.

I thought the food was ok, but a bit overpriced.

Friendly and quick service, coffee and cake were very good. Nice place to visit.

We took a bike to get there and it felt rewarding to get there after around a 5km ride to the woods. Really rustic place serving German food. My kids loved the spacious play area. We'll be coming back!

Very nice restaurant, very friendly staff, highly recommended 👍

Went there on May 1st, it was very full but we still managed to get a table without a reservation. The food was good average and appetizingly arranged. Price was ok. It was cozy inside, rather loud outside and not so clean, had more of a check-in...

Very good food and great service in a cozy atmosphere. Only recommended!

Very good and cozy food in a beautiful environment 👨🏼‍🍳

Very nice establishment in a forest. Very nice site, the map and the suggestions are very good. Top service, very good quality dishes. Very nice address to keep carefully.

Der Weg lohnt sich ! Wir sind hier immer wieder mal Gast und können das Restaurant nur empfehlen , die Speisen sind sehr bekömmlich und frisch zubereitet . Auf der Speisekarte ist für jeden etwas dabei. Preislich eher niedrig und in der heutigen Zeit als sehr anständig und Kundenfreundlich angesiedelt. Vielen Dank an die Eheleute Peters und das angenehme Personal.

The food, service and ambiance is always very good BUT the menu prices have become more expensive over the last year 2023 due to inflation...

Good food and friendly staff in a nice atmosphere, but unfortunately extremely overpriced. With the best will in the world, I can't understand the price of just under €22 for three measly pork medallions with mushroom cream sauce and a small bowl of fries.
