Waldschenke "Zur Eisernen Weinkarte " in Bernkastel-Kues

We were here on March 23, 2025. We had a variety of dishes (see pictures). Everything was really great and the service was very friendly. Highly recommended.

Had to wait a long time before someone came to take our order. After waiting an hour after taking the order, people were served after us, yet we kindly asked when we would get our food. After this the 'waiter' came to tell us that we had not waited long enough. Eventually we did get our food. We asked for the bill. We wanted to pay by card. The waitress found that very annoying and showed it by rolling her eyes. Very unfriendly service. Never again!

Went on a mountain bike. We almost drove past, but braked in time. Didn't expect it to be open at all. We had a fresh salad and a gratinated cheese with a super tasty bread. Really delicious 😋. The house wine was also delicious. Great service that came from the heart. Thank you very much again for your hospitality.

Beautiful location and somewhat clumsy decor. Great food and super friendly owner who helped us. We are in the early season, so it is very quiet, but honest food for a good price and.... Choice of really local wines of top quality for a reasonable price. So from the local winegrower a few meters away. So great!

Very quaint, super nice service, delicious food. What more could you want 😍😍😍

Beautiful; very good inexpensive food. Service very friendly and attentive

Don't miss this. Menu or simply ask the boss what's for dinner. Super tasty, great staff, the boss Ilya and his wife are simply the best. 10/23 Finally Waldschenke again. 05/24: Finally wine bar again. Delicious. Keep it up... and we did it again, October 2024. Andrea and Ilja, thank you very much, we really enjoyed the delicious food and look forward to seeing you again. And we were back... 02.25 Siggi and Kalli

Super delicious food and an unbeatable price-performance ratio! The service is super friendly and accommodating. The view and the ambience are simply great! Many a restaurant can learn a lesson here. We're always happy to come back!

Due to not enough people, the grill was not lit. I had the grilled vegetables and they were tasty but the portion was very small (and I am a small eater): half a pepper, 2 slices of onion and about 10 slices of zucchini. My husband had the falafel and it was great! The view is beautiful and it is nice to sit after a good walk.

We held our Christmas party here. The food was super tasty and the staff was really friendly. It was like having a meal with the family. Everything fit and was perfect. We would be happy to come back at any time and will hold more celebrations here. Thank you for the great and successful evening :) Sporty greetings The SFG team

Rustic fire grilled food. Great service….great view.

Unfortunately, we only stopped for a drink during our hike because we only had a short time! A really great atmosphere, totally rustic and very cozy, very nice boss, it's best to stop by yourself! We'll come back when we're in the region and definitely for dinner!

Nice restaurant halfway through the walk with a beautiful panoramic view over the Moselle and Bernkastel, with lots of goodies from the grill and delicious soup from the house 👌

Great ambience, nice service and great food! Price/performance was great, especially after a hike through the vineyards

Very nice place, like stars, just great - we will come back again and again 👍🏻

Very nice people, great steaks, unique views.

Wir waren wieder hier: 09.23, 05.24, 08.24 und gestern 08.12.24 War wieder superlecker, Andrea und Ilija, ihr seid toll, freuen uns aufs nächste mal. Alles Gute Euch

The grill plate is absolutely top, as is the rump steak! Price/performance ratio is right! Very friendly service and the view is also worth seeing. We would be happy to come back, thank you to the whole team.

Food very tasty, cheap, lots of it, made with heart on the open grill. Very friendly service. It's a shame that everything is a bit unkempt, a lot of useless things in and around the great economy. A little more attention to detail and tidying up and the shop will run itself...

The food was great, we ate the chef's platter and grilled everything on the open fire. Service and boss very friendly, will come again.

Ate and drank very well. Very friendly staff.

We were given a tip to try Macedonian cuisine and were quite satisfied with the food - prepared on the swivel grill. Since it was a bit too cold to go outside in the evening, we were given a seat in the unfortunately very uncomfortable restaurant. Unfortunately, various wooden tables and a lack of decoration ended the stay quite quickly

You can keep it short: The new tenants in 2023 have done the gastronomy of Bernkastel (Graach) a favor: Food fine Service very nice Location indescribable

We felt very comfortable after a short hike from the campsite. The food was good and plentiful. The service was very nice and super loving towards our little one. Just a lovely evening.

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Best meal in a long time! Enjoyed an excellent grilled plate as part of our company outing! Afterwards we drank an extremely pleasant house schnapps. A very nice, uncomplicated boss and his hard-working waiters complete the great overall impression! By the way, a picture says more than...😉👍🏻

If you're looking for a really good wood-fired steak, you've come to the right place. The boss personally stands at the large swivel grill and prepares everything over the fire. Meat and vegetables (grilled peppers) to the point. Perfect! Plus delicious fried potatoes and a wheat or a glass of red wine with a view over the Moselle. What more could you want? P.S.: you can actually drive up by car, but it will be tight ;-)

Stop after a hike. Had delicious falafel with salad. Great.

The food here was very, very tasty and also available at a fair price. The view over the Moselle valley and Bernkastel-Kues is beautiful, you could hardly sit in a nicer place. The service was courteous and friendly. With that in mind, gladly again

The climb... a bit demanding. That's how you deserve your food. The ambience, rustic, warm (thanks to the oven), cozy. The service was friendly and on point. The food tasted very good. The portions are good and you'll feel full after a day of hiking. Recommended

Wir waren wieder in der Waldschänke. Qualität war wieder 1A, Personal perfekt. Essen dauert etwas, ist aber nicht schlimm, da es ja immer frisch zubereitet wird. Immer wieder gern. Andrea und Ilja, macht so weiter, bis zum nächsten Mal...

Very, very rustic and very tasty... straight from the grill. As a bonus, great view.

We've been there several times. Always with two big dogs. Never been a problem. Always very tasty and plentiful. The service is great. CAN ONLY RECOMMEND. Last time with 4 people. Had the grill plate for a Hunni. Was brilliant. Price/performance perfect.

Had a grill plate which we can only recommend, here the meat is freshly prepared on the grill outside. Very tasty 😋

It's hidden, but with a great view of the Moselle. Nice hosts.

Superfreundliche und aufmerksame Bedienung. Die Grillplatte für 2 war genial. Die Speisen auf den anderen Tischen haben auch alle sehr gut ausgesehen. Die Anfahrt durch die Weinberge war auch sehr schön, teilweise ein bisschen abenteuerlich. Wahrscheinlich besser für Wanderer und Radfahrer geeignet.

After a steady walk up from Bernkastel, you reach the Waldschenke after about 30 minutes. Great view but poor service. After we wanted to order food on Saturday around 12.15 p.m., the waitress told us that there was no food at the moment because the larger groups had to be served first. Without words!

A beautiful place to stay, the food is delicious and the service is very friendly. Whenever we hike nearby, we take a break there.

Nice large swivel grill right at the entrance. And meat is their main thing.

Very well eaten, nice staff! Any time!

We ate very well, drank delicious wine and will definitely come back.

Nice service in a rustic restaurant at the top of the vineyard The baked cheese was very, very salty and the baguette was mixed bread from the day before

During a hike to Maria Zill (mountain), we stopped there on the way back. That day was also the Middle Moselle Wine Festival in Bernkastel-Kues. The location was only attended outside. There were no guests inside. but it was also 31 degrees that day. The outside area was completely full. There were also 2 larger groups of people (approx. 15 people each) on this terrace. Since we didn't have a reservation, we could only have our drinks at a barrel table. There was an open wood grill in operation and the food served there smelled fabulous. The view from there is excellent (the Moselle loop, the district of KUES opposite and the spa facilities, the vineyards, the district of Wehlen and the sheep farm. The outside restaurant is also largely covered. Definitely worth a visit. From Bernkastel it's about an hour's walk up through the vineyards.

A super quaint and at the same time cozy place. Grilling takes place over an open fire. It feels like you're sitting in a bar in the Giant Mountains that Rübezahl built himself. The food is a delight, the drinks menu leaves nothing to be desired and the young, super friendly couple running the place rounds things off perfectly. Keep it up. We wish you all the best and hope to see each other again next year.

Very good food fresh from the swivel grill. Unusual atmosphere. Very good view over Bernkastelkuss. Exciting journey by car.

We happened to pass here while on a hike. Super great, simple but really nice atmosphere. The food, meat skewers from the swivel grill, was very tasty. The salad with feta cheese was also very good. Other guests' plates also looked great. Thank God you won't find SchickiMicki here. Gladly again. Keep it up!

Had dinner at the Waldschenke today. The food was plentiful and very good. The owner and his team are very attentive and friendly. I can only recommend the Waldschenke LG Thomas Brechtmann

Rustic and a great view of the Moselle valley. We had a great evening. Thanks for the friendly service

Very nice location, great food and friendly atmosphere.

Very tasty food, we had sausage salad with fried potatoes for the day's dinner, we got sausage salad with bread, but after our comment the boss immediately brought a new portion of fried potatoes which was on the house, we got watermelon for dessert as a small compensation. The boss is very accommodating, always has a relaxed saying on his tongue. We can highly recommend the Waldschänke. Great grill on site... Unfortunately our time here is too short to test again.

Walk 1500 m up from Bernkastel! Stop often along the way and look around! Enjoy the vineyards and the expansive views that open up! At the end you will be rewarded with a hospitable restaurant with drinks and food of the best quality in a pleasant atmosphere. We recommend the grilled specialties, which are professionally prepared with the best meat.

Verry beautiful place, the food was verry delicious and the staff was verry kind! This is a place to come back to 🥰

Unfortunately we couldn't eat anything there because everything we saw looked very tasty. The view is of course great and the atmosphere is also very cozy. The staff was very friendly and accommodating.

Ordered grill plate, great. Service top.

Great excursion restaurant in the middle of the vineyards above Bernkastel. Very nice and friendly innkeepers. The food comes straight from the charcoal grill and tastes great. Of course, the menu also has much more to offer. Just take a look. It definitely makes sense to reserve in advance. And ask if the grill will be turned on for lunch. Definitely worth a visit

Very good restaurant in the vineyards with a view of the Moselle valley near Bernkastel Kues and Graach. Reservation is recommended.

Delicious food, great view. Realm

Fantastic - Outlook - Ambiance - Eat - Service *****

Very nice location with a view of the Moselle and the vineyards. Friendly and courteous service. Delicious grilled vegetables and excellent meat variations grilled to perfection from the swivel grill on an open fire! Absolute recommendation! Top price-performance ratio!

The restaurant is beautifully located in the forest. Very tasty food! Very nice staff! 👍 We are totally thrilled! Always happy... 🌈🌞

Good grilled food with a beautiful view. Highly recommended.

Quaint restaurant with a great view of the Moselle. Food fresh from the large grill, which is fired with beech logs.

Very unfriendly service, would have preferred wet hikers not to fall in, no food was served.

The young man was very rude yesterday. Didn't feel like it, everything was too much for him. Plus, it was totally out of place. Not recommended.

Really great restaurant in the middle of the vineyards. The journey alone is exciting and exciting. The atmosphere in the restaurant is romantic. You can sit outside even if it rains. The restaurant is super child-friendly. There were children's chairs available and to bridge the waiting time there was also something to paint. The food was very tasty and the service was super friendly. It was a wonderful evening!

Very good food I haven't eaten this full of flavor in a long time 😉 The service was very nice I’m happy to come back any time 😉

I usually like to write positive reviews. Unfortunately not today. Curious because of the many great reports from others and the pictures of grilled food etc., we set off joyfully and hungry. The beer garden was well attended and yes, a wonderful spot in the vineyards. Then the menu came and the fun was over. Just a small card. Nothing from the grill. Nothing Croatian. Instead, sausage salad, tarte flambée, etc. We asked the waitress about grilled food and she said: The grill will be turned on at 12. But it was already after 1 p.m. Then she said. Saturdays. Curious. Now we realized why you can't download the menu online. If you clearly communicate the small card everything is really ok. But not like this. Sorry. At the next table someone asked for schnitzel on the next visit. Answer: you can get them on every corner. Very professional answer. My comment was: sausage salad and tarte flambée too. I had to point out our disappointment here. Then others will at least know about the different menus. 🥂

A very nice restaurant in the vineyards with a great view. We discovered it by chance on our tour of the vineyards.

Grill plate for 4 people grilled over the open pan, perfectly prepared, plentiful and very tasty. Great atmosphere, friendly service Price / offer: Very good

Great, no-frills place with a magnificent view of the vineyards and the valley. Great setting, super nice team. Excellent barbecue grills and democratic prices. To recommend with eyes closed.

The moments of life with super tasty food and regional wines! The service was very attentive and warm!

Was an outstanding stopover. Wonderful refreshment and courteous service!

Nice location, great view, great food, great service

Great location, insider tip in the middle of the vineyards, with a beautiful view. The quality of the food is perfect, the medium steak was super tender, the grilled vegetables were great and even the fries were very tasty. everything perfectly coordinated with spices.

Rustic restaurant high above the vines. The food is incredibly tasty (swivel grill), the staff is very attentive and really friendly. An absolute insider tip!!!

A nice, secluded place to stop for a break with super, super nice owners! We didn't eat anything, but the food looked great and the guests were very happy! Above all, the price-performance ratio is right here.

Cozy place to stop off with a great view. Delicious things from the grill, very friendly host. We'd love to come back.

Very tasty and very friendly service 👍 We'd love to come back.

Great wine in a cozy tavern. Nice service, we'd love to come back.👍

Is a cozy restaurant in the vineyards. You can sit on the terrace with a view of the Moselle or, if the weather is bad, inside. Very tasty grilled food. Not a huge selection of food but really good. Prices are okay too. Not overpriced. Friendly staff. Were there twice for dinner. Was always well attended

Today we hiked the Maria Zill Panorama Trail and passed this really nice restaurant. Super nice, cozy atmosphere with a great view. We were able to sit outside and watch the great swivel grill. The food straight from the grill was so delicious, both the meat and the grilled vegetables and absolutely on point. Really something special 👍

If you like the grill and even want to watch it, this is the right place for you. Rustic atmosphere outside. Simple and loose inside. The food was simply great. Price/performance ok here.

Super nice location with very nice and courteous service. The food is plentiful and extremely tasty. The view over the Moselle valley is spectacular and the outdoor terrace invites you to linger on summer evenings. Also recommended for closed groups. It was a celebration with you. Thanks

Wonderful views and delicious food, plus attentive and friendly hosts, what more could you want? Even larger groups are no problem here, thank you for the great time with you!

Ironically found the way, ambience and food more than rustic

Beautiful view of the Moselle from there, great hiking trails. Ate very tasty. Great service, staff very good, friendly, always worth a trip.

Thank you for the professionalism, kindness and good food ☺️☺️

Cozy, nice view, delicious food, friendly service.

Great service, delicious food. The name doesn't really fit. “The Meat Roaster” would be a better choice. Eat directly from the swivel grill.

There were four of us in the Waldschenke. The service was super attentive and extremely friendly. The food was freshly prepared and very tasty. My wife once went to Grill and had it explained to her what was available. The questions were answered very nicely and comprehensively. When she went out she was jokingly asked that she had taken something else. ;) We had a very enjoyable evening with everyone involved. We will definitely come back here on our next vacation. Only the TomTom navigation system has to remember that you are not allowed to drive there from the Graach sheep farm. But that meant we had a short digestive walk back to the car.

Very good, rich food, freshly grilled on beech wood... ...with a great view of the Moselle valley. Very friendly service and pleasant atmosphere!

Beautiful view of the Moselle valley

Endlich wieder Weinschänke... Leckaaaa. Weiterhin alles Gute für Euch. Immer wieder gern, ihr Lieben. Wir lassen es uns gerne wieder bei Euch gut gehen lassen

Great location with an excellent host, a nice team and, above all, really delicious food.

The journey to this restaurant alone was a highlight, who would have expected that this restaurant would have the best meat in the evening world. You can enjoy your meal with an incredible view. The friendly staff show what passion and heart lies behind this restaurant. This restaurant is the needle in the haystack, the tick in the grass or the most beautiful shell in the sea

Everything perfect, we will be back. 😀

A really worthwhile destination! The service and the employees are absolutely nice

Good day everybody... The old but very beautiful restaurant “Waldschenke zur Eisernen Weinkarte” is finally open again! The way there may not be the easiest, BUT it's definitely worth it!!! The new tenant and his team make every effort to make EVERYONE happy! The food is “insanely delicious” and the portions are amazing (especially the swivel grill)! That's why we'll definitely come back! (Maybe a tip, check out the website!!!)

Great restaurant with a great view

Even though it was busy, we weren't served for an entire hour and a half. Due to the large number of guests, we understood. When the waitress finally arrived, she went to another table while ordering and took the order there. We then left.

very nice place, I recommend, the site the BBQ is excellent, cooked perfectly with accompaniments of small zucchini cooked a la plancha, a delight!!!!
