Wirtshaus Zur Glocke in Trier

Good regional cuisine and the service staff responds individually to the guests

Very good food. At a fair price. The service, well, German style. The beef liver with spectacular mashed potatoes. Very good decoration, although a little dark perhaps.

Nice place, friendly people, good food. What more do you need?

Ordered at 1pm - after asking multiple times the status of our order, at 2.45pm we left the restaurant without eating. They didn’t have any justification and they didn’t even apologies

We waited for 1,5 hours for our meals and at the end we didn’t receive them.

Nice service, customer friendly, food top notch

Really unfriendly and slow service.

Went there around Christmas time with the whole company (approx. 50 people) and were accommodated in the vaulted cellar. The cellar is very beautiful and has its own very pleasant character. The food was very tasty, the portion size was reasonable and the price was therefore justified. Unfortunately, I have to deduct a star from the service because at the beginning there were 2 waitresses for our group and later only 1 waitress was available, which is why it took a little longer until the drinks we ordered were brought (approx. 15 minutes). Otherwise the staff was very nice and friendly. I'd love to come back.

Unfortunately a very unpleasant lunch at the bell today. The asparagus salad for almost €16 was very manageable and not worth the money. My husband ordered fries, but only got one portion of fries. The waitress, Ms. R., said that was a misunderstanding. Unfortunately, her apology didn't help in any way and an agreement could not be found.

The schnitzel with salad was large and hearty.

Very nice local, great service, the food is incredibly tasty and the portions are very large. We'll be back

This romantic hotel can also call itself that. Our bright room with a view of the cathedral and balcony was great and quiet. Lots of space and also with a large bathroom. Everything very clean!!! The dinner and also the breakfast were very good. The staff very friendly. Our rating for the service is not so good for the following reason: we had dinner in the beautiful, large vaulted cellar. The organization of only three employees was clearly visible on this Friday evening, March 28, 2025. A waiter behind the bar, a waitress who didn't really know what to do and the third waiter who did everything. Collect food and drinks, cut bread (you could prepare it in advance), serve it and collect it. Our appetizer came before the drinks. During this time there were only 8 guests present. Many guests arrived at the same time and had to wait a long time until the drinks were even served. No wonder if only one waiter does all this!! There is still potential for improvement here in terms of “collaboration” teamwork! But the "only" waiter was great and remained completely calm - compliments 😉 We were happy to give a generous tip for that.

Very cosy, great service and food. Our experience was very positive, the German way of going out for dinner. Highly recommended!

Good home cooking with large portions.

A traditional restaurant with a wide selection of dishes; highly recommended. Friendly staff. Good value for money.

My best friend who lives in Trier brought me here. The service and food are very good. It's not exoensive but german cuisine are realy excellent. there are also many rooms, so enough places but best is to reserve because it can be quick very busy. Attached is the Romantik hotel. i didn't try it but had a chat with the receptionist for more information and she was super friendly. i will come back very soon. i recommend absolutely

Quaint restaurant - obviously very popular with locals too. Food was very good and the portion was appropriate

The food was perfect. In addition, the service is very courteous and the prices are more than reasonable!

Beautiful environment, helpful staff, very tasty food and reasonable prices...

Unfortunately I am very disappointed. Initially good expectations but after a while very disappointed. When it comes to service, one friendly and one unfriendly. He didn't understand something at the beginning and immediately got annoyed and rolled his eyes. Wait a very long time, we were about to leave.

Food quite okay, slightly cold. The service is pretty unfriendly, they laugh in your face but then roll their eyes when you order something. We wanted to leave because we waited 2 hours for the food and then we were made fun of because we were there because we wanted to go somewhere else. I wouldn't recommend it purely based on the service…

My visually impaired husband and I felt very well looked after and comfortable. The food was delicious, the service was great. Definitely again! UPDATE: It was really good again! Whether liver, smoked pork, salad plates, flour kneaders, etc.: delicious! Eifel country beer... Very nice helpful service! We'll be back!

Decent and solid food in an ancient vaulted cellar with roots from the 11th century. My fried fish was almost certainly convenience, but overall it was okay. Always a safe bet when it comes to not doing anything wrong. There is not only the Bit and Benedictine beer, which takes some getting used to, but also really good, mild Trier wheat beer. The cellar vault is unique, the prices are reasonable and the service is professional.

Super delicious food and nice service

We spontaneously went to the Wirtshaus Zur Glocke at lunchtime during the week and were lucky to get a table for two. The staff was very friendly and attentive. We both enjoyed the food very much and were completely satisfied. My personal recommendation is the onion soup. 👌

Very tasty and well eaten. We would love to come back!!

Very pleasant dining restaurant with particularly friendly staff. We felt very comfortable with four people.

House names have existed in Trier since around 1240. Around 1784 the houses were given a house number, the house was given the number 1131 in Trier. In 1785, an address book was created for the first time in which the house numbers, the owners of the house and the residents were recorded. The first documented owner was fellow Jewish citizen Calmann Schweich, born around 1713 in Trier, died in 1773 in Trier. In the 1785 address book, the “Calmanns Heirs” are named as the owners; the house was lived in by his son Süßkind. Until around this time, there was a mikveh, a Jewish ritual bath, in the house. Since you had to go down at least 7 steps to the water level, it is likely that it was built in the vaulted cellar. The inlet and outlet pipes that still exist today could indicate this. There is still a deep well in the exit to the cellar that reaches down to the groundwater. You can see from the remains of the wall that it reached down to the ground floor at that time. According to the 1797 address book, the house still belonged to "The Jews", but was lived in by the high court lay judge Johann Josef Nikolaus Nalbach. He was baptized on September 20, 1756 in Saint Laurentius, as the son of the court councilor Johann Heinrich Nalbach and Anna Maria Nacher. He died on March 31, 1808 in Trier. The house was sold around 1803 and an inn was set up. One of the first innkeepers was probably Nikolaus Lamberty. He is named as the owner and landlord in the address books from 1837 to 1867. Around 1850 the house numbers were reassigned section by section. The house was now in Section I No. 63. In 1875, a Johann Haas was named as the innkeeper. After that, a Peter Josef Schon was the landlord. His widow is recorded as a landlady in 1879. In 1886 the house belonged to the pensioner Franz Zimmer, and he had leased the inn to Bernhard Sterk. After being renumbered, it was now located at Glockenstrasse 12. From 1896, when Franz Zimmer was the owner, the innkeeper was called Albert Buschmann. Until 1906 the house was called “Zur wilden Gans” and was renamed “Zur Glocke”. Buschmann also ran the business under the new owner, the businessman B. Oberhoffer. In 1909 the house was built under architect Franz.J. Kuhn rebuilt. From 1912 to 1914 the owner was Josef Blasius, whft. Krahnenufer 11, registered

A big thank you to the waiter Johnny and team. We have it on 01/25/25 Had a lovely evening at the Zur Glocke pub.

It's a shame, it could have been a nice evening. Three onion soups were ordered as a starter but only two were brought, which can happen. But the one that was delivered later was significantly smaller. When the waiter was asked about it, he was sorry and would “make it up to you.” When we asked in the kitchen, he told us that the contents were exactly the same. We felt pretty foolish at that point. It can also happen that the waiter then pours part of a shandy bottle over the guest's shoulder with the smaller onion soup. But the fact that neither the shandy was exchanged nor the guest who was hit was offered compensation (perhaps a free drink) and then at the end the full amount was deducted from the smaller onion soup, that cannot be true. We were a group of 8 people and will certainly draw our conclusions from it.

Really great inn with a very good kitchen. The horse steak with fried potatoes was a great meal. Unfortunately a little too cold but delicious 😋. It's worth paying a visit here. We would love to come back.

We were there for the first time. I immediately noticed that the clientele was predominantly older. My companion said that this was probably because the prices were also high. 😉 The food was very good. The staff could have been a little more attentive. But they are very nice. Unfortunately there is no accessibility. Otherwise it was a nice lunch.

Nice atmosphere, great staff and the food was top and at a great price I would love to come back

The basement below is truly spectacular and offers a lovely, rustic atmosphere. There is nothing to criticize about the service and the selection on the menu is also well mixed. The only point that bothers me is the fried potatoes, they were missing some spice and in my opinion they could have been fried a little hotter.

Unfortunately there was no restaurant. Price-performance doesn't fit. - We made reservations for a group of 16 people and ordered food in advance. Still a very long wait. Service was a bit overwhelmed. So my starter came after my main course. My meal was ok but not a highlight. Prices are overall quite high. There are much better restaurants in the Trier area. Therefore no recommendation here.

We had a wonderful evening here today, the atmosphere was beautiful and the food was delicious. We ordered veal liver, fillets, horse steak and drinks🍗🍖🍷🍾 Service staff also very nice and polite 💜 Thank you.

I really liked the Wirtshaus zur Glocke, next to the Hotel zur Glocke in Trier. I've been there several times now, both for lunch and dinner. It is a historic, traditional house in downtown Trier, with plenty of parking nearby if you're lucky. 😉 Everything I've eaten there so far has tasted good, and the price-performance ratio is also okay. The staff is competent and friendly and I particularly like the rustic interior design. Next time I'm there I'll try the local Viez. Can't take much longer because I like to be in Trier more often. :-)

We were there for lunch on 2 days. Very busy...but everything is okay.

We had made a reservation and when we arrived, after he looked at us, the waiter said go to the basement. Huh. First at the toilets, then even further down the stairs. A beautiful large cellar with many arches and beautiful lamps in the shape of candles. One limited menu but still enough for a tasty meal. Food is simple but tasty. Rich German cuisine.

Thank God we (4 people) had made a reservation in good time, without it we would hardly have had a chance of the good food. Since we liked it so much, we made a reservation for the next day in the oldest inn in Trier. You can't go wrong here and can recommend the house without hesitation. Very emphatic staff! We'll be back next year!!!!!

Food was tasty but there wasn't much choice. Rooms very nice staff GREAT. Unfortunately there are no parking spaces only in one parking garage and it's a challenge around Advent.

One of the last old restaurants in the city center. Today, all the others have become Kölch pubs, potato houses, or perfumeries. Very tasty, down-to-earth dishes. Good beer and even better viez. What more does it take? Just keep it up...

Nice staff and super tasty! Unfortunately we would have to wait a little longer but it was worth it 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

A beautiful restaurant, with a very traditional style. We went in December for dinner and everything was decorated with many Christmas details. The interior is cozy, warm, and not very noisy. The menu is brief, a handful of traditional dishes well cooked and presented, although with fairer quantities than in many other restaurants in the country and at a higher price. Be careful with the price of water, more expensive than a beer. If you don't mind liver, ask for it, they prepare it very well.

A very cozy restaurant, nice atmosphere, nice staff and the food tasted really good. The price is also really ok... I'll come back on my next visit to Trier.

Nice atmosphere, very nice and entertaining service staff, normal prices and delicious food prepared with love

Very good food in a cozy and stylish atmosphere with friendly service 👍🏻

I really like this restaurant. The food was delicious, the beer was fantastic. The waiter also has a lot of patience for my bad German. Thank you very much 🥰

With 3 people we were able to experience very friendly service and excellent food made from fresh ingredients. Goose leg, chop and beef cheeks were very tasty. Finally, an espresso each. We were more than satisfied all around.

Very enjoyable experience and really good food. Staff were exceptionally friendly and quick, making sure we didn’t miss anything during our visit. They were helpful and professional and at no point did we feel as if they were coming to us in order to urge us to leave. This is particularly annoying in some restaurants but was not the case here.

You should definitely have it on your plan in Trier for good food and a nice, pleasant atmosphere!

Good hearty food (had a schnitzel and ghoulash) and friendly service.

We had dinner here as part of a hotel stay. There was a goose dinner in keeping with the season. We were very excited about the roast goose here as we have already had bad experiences. We weren't disappointed. The whole menu was of very good quality, especially the main course was very good. The atmosphere is that of an old inn and is well attended. Without a reservation it is difficult to get a place. The waitresses take some getting used to - similar to a Cologne Köbe - but then they are very nice and helpful. All in all a successful evening.

Came here with a large group and had a great time! We booked ahead of time and had a room in the back. The food was great and the service was courteous and efficient.

We felt at home there. Delicious food and super nice staff. The waitress does her job with heart and soul.

A bit small portion for this price.

Food good, service could be improved.

Rump steak for 30€... In return I got a steak with convenience croquettes and sauce. Plus overcooked and over-seasoned bacon beans. Very disappointing and not recommended!

Great restaurant, in historic rooms, very tasty food. Nice service with funny sayings. Reservations for several people are recommended. Gladly again.

I can only recommend it and above all you can eat very well and the prices are very affordable!! And above all, the staff is very friendly and always helpful if something is missing!!!

Fantastic place to eat and drink.

Very tasty food, very good service. Space was immediately made for me and my walker without having to ask.

Shameful experience which made us lose 2 hours of the day. We came today, the waiter took 30 minutes to take the order for the appetizer. We placed an order for the dish at 1 p.m. for 4 breaded escalopes. At 2:40 p.m. we were still not served. We asked for our order several times from the server in the vaulted cellar. After 1 hour and 40 minutes of waiting we left without having eaten and I asked the owner to offer us aperitifs, which he accepted in view of my annoyance. After almost 2 hours of waiting, we were starving, we finally went to eat a currywurst at the Christmas market and it was much better and much quicker.

Food is fair quality, still a slight touristy place but with an authentic taste of Germany. Recommended if you are in the city center.

First time eating horse steak! Served with chips and salad. It's quite delicious, with a slightly finer texture than beef and quite soft. I also ordered the standard Gulash soup. The overall portion is quite large and I can’t finish it.

Yummy. Good German food at realistic prices (20-30€ per main course).

We loved it! The service was really great, they spoke English and didnt judge our broken German. The food and beer were also great 😃 they were able to accommodate us even without a reservation, on a Saturday night! We'll definitely be coming back again for good Marron soup

Very, very nice and friendly staff! The horse steak was a bit dry, but the inn is nicely decorated in a traditional manner. The wine was good too.

Went there spontaneously after our trip to Luxembourg, well prices too expensive no pork schnitzel the Kassler with sauerkraut and mashed potatoes what can I say about that the Kassler was cut too thinly not cooked long enough it was still hard the sauerkraut was unfortunately mixed with the mashed potatoes inedible so that Unfortunately the sauce is a finished product Unfortunately there was only a splash of balsamic vinegar on the salad, otherwise it was bland.

Many thanks to an incredibly nice waiter. The food was good It was fun stopping there

We were here in a group of 5 people. The food was super tasty and the service was great! We'll definitely be back! Table reservation required.

The ambience was tavern style but OK. (I would have imagined it to be a little more rustic. But the staff was very nice and accommodating. Perfect 👌 And the food was delicious too. Unfortunately I was full too quickly. 😅

in general, I liked the meal, but there was a lot of dressing in the salad. The establishment is quite loud, so this place is definitely not for a romantic dinner. In my opinion, the prices are overpriced, but this is an establishment attached to the hotel, so it is not surprising.

A wonderful historic inn. The food was great, as was the service 👍 very nice rooms, especially the vaulted cellar - thank you

We relied on some reviews, but it was only later that I discovered that the reviews were already 4 years old. I thought it was an authentic German restaurant. That must be good, but the experience is not very good. Firstly, there was no longer any authentic German. I think the restaurant has been taken over by others who do not know German cuisine. There were only people from probably India / the Far East. Unfortunately the food was also as I suspected, not what a real schnitzel should be. The fries themselves were not cooked properly and were thick. Normally you get thin fries with the schnitzel. It was not as I had hoped, a shame for such a beautiful restaurant.

Great location, nice service, very tasty food. Thanks

Were there for the first time and were not disappointed. Food was very good and value for money was also good. Staff was very nice and helpful. Location is great. The furnishings are a bit older but fit the tavern style

Historic restaurant in the city center. Very friendly staff. Enjoy your meal. Unfortunately we were there around 5 p.m. and could only choose from the small menu.

We got a huge table only for us, this was a good thing since our kids are always playful and need space. The waiters were cordial, the waiting time wasn't long and I loved the atmosphere. The serving of the goulash soup that I ordered was huge (am still full 2hrs later!)

The horse meatballs are really good.

Sat down to order at 2:45. After a few questions 2 people had ordered and then the server says it's 3:00 pm and it's a different menu. New menu had about 4 items. Two people could only choose from that. Took over 30 minutes to get the food and the onion soup was so salt one person couldn't eat it.

Stake and beef fillet was delicious.

Great, great food and great service

Good German cuisine in a cozy atmosphere with good service, what more could you want. Of course it takes a little longer when it's full, but it didn't bother us. We would be happy to come back when the opportunity arises

Nice staff, good selection, but quite expensive

We had lunch here and had no problems getting a seat. We ordered schnitzel with fried eggs and onion soup with a salad. Everything tasted really delicious and was beautifully presented. A rustic inn that fully met our expectations. The employees were very nice and brought our daughter extra children's cutlery and a robber's plate without asking. That was very thoughtful. Prices were very reasonable and I would definitely recommend this inn.

Very good, table reservation worked well, food was great ((selection was also good), service impeccable. Cozy place. What more could you want.

Rustic Trier pub with very good service and rather mediocre cuisine.

Very good food, very nice and competent service

Very nice and good dining restaurant

We went there without a reservation and the nice waitress showed us to the last available table, so a reservation would be appropriate. The service was very nice, the food was really tasty. Two main courses with a drink each for under €60, you can't complain about that either. We would visit the restaurant again.

Very tasty food, make sure you reserve in advance

Excellent German brasserie, high quality traditional cuisine. Top service, extensive wine list by the bottle and by the glass It’s delicious and filling

We had a really great evening in the inn. The food tasted fantastic and the service was nice and courteous. Card payment possible.

Very tasty food, great service. Thanks again!!

Good food, nice atmosphere and friendly service.

Great inn. Delicious food and drinks. Friendly service.

Delicious food, only the prices in the Google app should be corrected a bit.

The food was delicious and I haven't eaten this good in a long time. Is only recommended

Very original. Great atmosphere. Delicious beer, very tasty food.
