Waldschenke "Zur Eisernen Weinkarte " in Bernkastel-Kues

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.

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.

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

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 ;-)

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 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...😉👍🏻

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...

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.

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

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.

Very well eaten, nice staff! Any time!

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

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

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

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.

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!

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

Ordered grill plate, great. Service top.

Delicious food, great view. Realm

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

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

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

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!

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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!!!!

We were there with a group and had pre-ordered a grill buffet. Very tasty, fresh and overall a great stay.

Stopped here for the second time after a lovely day of hiking. Like the first time, the service was great. The food was delicious.

Great restaurant, absolutely cozy, but unfortunately only an insider tip because it's not easy to get to. On foot from Bernkastel-Kues according to the signpost in 30 minutes, but steeply uphill through the vineyards. By car it is allowed, but the way here takes almost 10 minutes.....so walking longer than 30 minutes!!. The view is great. The food is freshly prepared and delicious. The drinks are cool and fresh. The staff is attentive and very friendly. Gladly again!!!

nice excursion restaurant in the vineyards with a great view, good selection of wines

Very good food, friendly staff, the surrounding area also fit. We'd love to come back

Unfortunately no recommendation. Even though it was open, garbage was sorted into blue garbage bags in the entrance area and we guests noticed it rather casually. When we received the (dirty and creased) menu card, we immediately ordered our drinks, which were brought shortly afterwards - but surprisingly the order was not taken. It then took about 25 minutes for no apparent reason until the waitress returned to the table unmotivated, even though we were the only guests. Since the restaurant was unheated and uncomfortable with worn furniture, we decided not to order. From our point of view, no recommendation. It should also be mentioned that there is only a very limited menu until 5 p.m., which was not apparent to us beforehand. There is no separate homepage with correct information about opening times.

Excellent dishes from the swivel grill. Nice owners, always happy.

Had a delicious meal here, with a great view of the Moselle valley!

Friendly service, delicious food and a beautiful view - what more could you want?

Die Waldschänke liegt am Wanderweg oberhalb der Graacher Schäferei. Es gibt einen gemütlichen , überdachten Aussenbereich sowie genügend Platz im Lokal. Der Ausblick auf die Mosel und die umliegenden Gemeinden ist wunderschön. Das Team der Waldschänke ist sehr freundlich und das Essen war super lecker. Ich habe schon ewig kein so gutes Schnitzel mehr gegessen. Die Preise finde ich angemessen und nicht teuer. Ein Besuch lohnt sich und das gut gezapfte Bier schmeckt nach dem steilen Anstieg einfach herrlich. 😉

Really nice location with rustic charm and a great oven, even a serenade from the landlord, it's just a shame that the snifter wasn't on on Saturday 😢

The food is really delicious. Service also good. The prices aren't cheap, but it tastes good. I'm happy with everything and would recommend it.

The welcome is very pleasant. The food is plentiful, simple and very good. The simple and warm setting. I really recommend.

Be sure to go and try it for yourself! 👌

Beautifully located with a great view and super nice service!

Super Gerichte vom Chef persönlich hergestellt und nett serviert. Seine Frau und er machen es einem schwer, wieder zu gehen. Viel Erfolg euch weiterhin

We were there today with 11 people for Christmas dinner! There was a top wine as a welcome. Then a very rich starter platter with various cheese, salami, ham, olives, tomatoes, grapes and bread. Afterwards a warm buffet with two soups, four main courses and various salads. Then pork schnitzel, poultry steak, beef bratwurst, pork bratwurst and pointed pepper were freshly grilled. We had already eaten there last month and requested the rump steak as an extra. This was also grilled especially by the chef today and was amazing!!! We all thought it was great value for money and would love to come back!

We were served very courteously and were given a delicious meal with meat and vegetables straight from the large swivel grill. The guest room is very comfortable and you have a fantastic view over the Moselle valley. Thank you for the lovely evening.

Nice view, very good food. Highly recommended to go here. Enthusiastic and hospitable service. We enjoyed ourselves and ate very well, together with a glass of wine from the region.

Absolutely recommendable shop, very nice staff and delicious sausage and ham made in-house. Goods walk from Bernkastel to Traben. The perfect stopover before heading over the mountain. The white wine “Alte Rebe” is highly recommended. Delicately bitter, even non-white wine drinkers like it, as I'm usually one of those.

Very nice staff and the food was very tasty. The restaurant is cozy and you can enjoy the view while eating. The wines are also good. We would love to come back.

Sehr gutes und frisches Essen. Der Service war super und der Blick über Bernkastel-Kues ist einfach toll
