Zom Stüffje in Cochem

We went there on a whim, got a table quickly, and were satisfied from the very first moment. Friendly, fast service, delicious food, fair prices. We'll gladly come back.

Always a pleasure. Food was excellent, drinks were excellent, and service was excellent.

Thank you so much, we felt incredibly comfortable with you. The service was very friendly and the food was delicious. A lovely, cozy atmosphere and pleasant, unobtrusive music 😉 What more could you ask for for a nice evening?

We ate there as a couple. The waiter was incredibly friendly and attentive. The food arrived quickly and was delicious. The wine selection was also excellent. We especially liked the unique format/design of the menu. We had a wonderful evening and will gladly return.

I originally reserved four seats by email a week in advance. However, this was declined with the polite explanation that they couldn't accept reservations due to high demand. So we arrived at the restaurant promptly at 5:00 PM and managed to snag four seats. The service was quick and polite despite the hustle and bustle, and they always had a joke ready. Our daughters wanted to share a meal, no problem, they offered a "bandit's plate" (a shared plate), free of charge – sadly, that's not always the case anymore. Very tasty, traditional German cuisine. We had Saumagen (stuffed pig's stomach), head cheese with remoulade, and the girls had a baked Stüffje's cream steak. When the girls ordered the warm chocolate cake without alcohol or cream, a second scoop of ice cream was promptly served. Excellent service, thank you. We'll gladly come again. Keep up the good work!

It was a great evening. Many thanks to Dennis 👍 We'd love to come again.

Found it by chance… Amazing location, super delicious food, excellent schnapps, and the dessert (warm chocolate cake with hot rum cherries and cream) was a true revelation and a culinary delight of the highest order!! We were served by the owner (by chance) and received friendly, attentive, and warm service! Everything was top-notch, we had a truly fantastic evening, laughed a lot, and can wholeheartedly recommend s'Stüffche to everyone!! Warmest regards from the Vikings Schupbach (Anke)

We were in Cochem with our Vikings Schupbach group over the weekend, and we ended up at Stuffje for dinner (and drinks). A great restaurant with wonderful, very friendly, and attentive staff. The food was delicious, especially the dessert, which was an explosion of flavor. Thank you for the great evening; we'd love to come again. Best regards from Hesse

Schupbach Vikings say THANK YOU and TOP RATINGS in all areas!!! Thanks for the awesome evening!!!!

A wonderful evening. Truly a hidden gem.

Top tip in Cochem. We felt very comfortable. We'd love to come back again 👍

Great restaurant for a sit-down meal. Delicious food and friendly, helpful service. We were lucky to get a table, but it gets very busy here on weekends. It's a good idea to make a reservation in advance.

So popular that there's a line outside the restaurant doorway. Luckily, I made a reservation! However, when I arrived, I had to wait another half hour. Because people were waiting in the doorway, you're constantly in the cold in the first part of the restaurant! So I'd suggest sitting a bit further away from the door! Due to the crowd, the service is anything but friendly. They're stressed and shouting at each other. Food: Schnitzels were inedible. Not crispy. The sauce they came with was weak (with several varieties). Baby food would have tasted even better on top. However, the meat dishes were excellent! Very tasty, even! The fries and Bratkartoffeln were also excellent! All in all, a somewhat disappointing experience if you read in advance that it was so busy. Maybe I went on the wrong night. But definitely not a next time for us!

My favourite meal in Germany. Long wait but that’s what you get when the food is this good!

Delicious food (including vegetarian and some vegan options), really friendly staff, and an authentic restaurant atmosphere. We had a great time and can definitely recommend Stüffje :)

The food was very tasty and the service was great.

Quaint restaurant, super friendly staff! Reservations are recommended here too!

A very nice bistro-style restaurant. It was very full, but there was still room for two. Delicious flammkuchen. Highly recommended.

We were a couple who ate there without a reservation, were seated quickly, and received a warm welcome. The food was fantastic and arrived promptly.

Cozy, authentic & delicious. Wow, what a great evening with good friends! This is where it's possible 😊

The food was delicious, I'd love to come back again 👍😊

A very cozy place, with exceptionally friendly service. We had a wonderful time. The food was also delicious and affordable.

Excellent, we were in the area and ate here. Everything was delicious, good service, I recommend it.

A really great place with good food and friendly service

Top service A wonderful wait with an aperitif in hand Delicious flatbread appetizer Great goulash soup and a fantastic meatball with fried potatoes.

We’ve made friends here! nice staff and great food!! danke

The server isn't serving us; instead, they're constantly chatting with other customers while we've been waiting, thirsty and hungry, for over 30 minutes for them to take our order... This is unacceptable.

A really cute place...definitely worth a visit. Delicious food, friendly service, lovely atmosphere. You might have to wait a bit without a reservation, but it's worth it. 👍🏻

The food was delicious, and the staff was very friendly and quick despite the hustle and bustle. The restaurant is quaint, but apparently very popular, and therefore quite noisy. Unfortunately, reservations weren't possible, and you'll have to wait for a table. However, I'd gladly go back for the food and the friendly staff.

What a super cute little place! Reservations are recommended. The food was delicious. Lovely atmosphere and the staff were very kind and funny. We had a wonderful evening.

Very nice food and very friendly service!

Beautiful location. Friendly service. Top-notch food.

The food (we had tarte flambée, schnitzel, and pork medallions) was delicious, and the service was friendly and quick! Overall, a great restaurant!

The fries were incredibly salty, the schnitzel nothing special. Fortunately, the atmosphere in the restaurant was good.

We arrived at the entrance at 5 p.m. sharp and got in quickly. The restaurant was full within a short time. We were served quickly, and the drinks and appetizers arrived very quickly. So far, a pretty good impression. Unfortunately, that was it. The goulash soup was cold, the tomato soup tasted more like instant soup. The bread with the cracklings was cheap from Netto. The main course: some of the meat was only lukewarm, and the fried potatoes were instant. The vegetables and the Béarnaise sauce also seemed to have just come out of a packet. No one asked if they were tasty. Only at the end did they ask how it was, to which we shared our experience and said we've had better meals. The waitress then became rude. She said she could only change things if we had spoken up directly, and she tried to defend herself. In the end, it looked as if it was our own fault that we didn't like it. After that, we weren't even looked at again. The supposed boss spoke to us about the incident while we were paying. He tried to mediate. No accommodations. No free schnapps or discount or anything else. Unfortunately, we can't understand the good reviews here at all. Addendum: Dear guests, based on the owner's replies, you can already see that his defensive attempts are well-rehearsed. There's a method to such an unprofessional way of getting out of this situation. It's a shame, no apology or accommodations. If the waitress was the boss, why did the waiter who opened the shop approach us again at the end and want to talk to her about her misconduct? If you're hungry, you eat, and not all the plates were empty. No matter, sometimes things just don't work out, but then the customer is king, and you try to make things right and not add to the cost at the end. If four people have the opportunity to review, then there will be four reviews. Everyone here was so upset that everyone wanted to write something.

The fries were very salty and the meatball sauce was very disgusting. The potatoes were very salty and the meatball sauce was very spicy.

We came here with high expectations and were doubly disappointed. The food was only ready-frozen, lukewarm, and after a complaint, the service became unfriendly and irritated. After the complaint, we felt like we were responsible for the poor food. Very unprofessional behavior. Bye.

Very, very unprofessional. The food was simply bad. All the ingredients were processed foods. The fried potatoes couldn't be worse. This place is a disgrace.

The food was lukewarm and not fresh. Fried potatoes and sauces from a packet. Apparently one of the best restaurants in Cochem. Well, if that's the case, you shouldn't even bother eating in Cochem. What a pity.

Great restaurant with delicious dishes and very attentive staff! Reservations are highly recommended.

Neat old building with authentic German food. They were aware of what gluten free was and offered suggestions which was really appreciated! My partner loved the schnitzel with mushrooms though I personally didn’t love my meat as it tasted similar to bologna which is just a personal preference. Really neat to try regionally authentic food nonetheless! Potatoes were delicious.

We were there one evening with two couples. We didn't have a reservation. But the host made everything possible. We had a wonderful evening with delicious wine, great food, and extremely pleasant conversations. We absolutely loved the atmosphere and the warm hospitality of the host. 5 stars is unquestionable.

It's not easy to get in without a reservation; it's more a matter of luck. It's very busy. The wine was delicious, the food was good. It was hectic, but still friendly.

I can't rate the food at this establishment since we weren't able to eat there. We arrived at 5:30 p.m. and were second in line. We asked the waiter how long the wait would be, and he told us it was between 10 and 20 minutes... That's why we waited over 40 minutes, seeing the line get longer and longer without any information from the waiters... We finally learned that it was possible to make a reservation for this restaurant, seeing some customers pass us without knowing why. It would have been better if the waiter had given us this information!

Great food and drinks, long line out the door. Luckily, it went quickly.

The food was delicious and the service very attentive. Advance reservations are recommended if possible; a large group of people were already waiting outside before 5 p.m. Luckily, we still managed to get a table.

We arrived after 10 p.m. and got a table without a reservation. The ambiance was wonderfully rustic, and the food was truly delicious for a wine bar. At the end, we were given some information about the building. If we're ever in Cochem again, we'll be back ;)!

The food (rump steak and medallions) was delicious, and the portions were generous. The staff is friendly, and we'll definitely be back if we're ever back. It's best to arrive early.

Schnitzel and other meals we had were excellent. German atmosphere took our hearts. Service was quick but we did not feel we should rush. Very popular place and we understand why.

A quaint, authentic restaurant in the heart of Cochem, somewhat tucked away in a small alley. Excellent value for money, good regional dishes at a fair price, and a well-organized host. It was only by chance that we managed to get a table for five people, although we were lucky to have a "birthday boy" with us.

A very rustic restaurant with delicious home-cooked food and very friendly service.

Great atmosphere and friendly boss, always open for a chat :)

This has nothing to do with cozy, delicious dining. We don't need that again. Canned coleslaw, undercooked fried potatoes, raw pork tenderloin.

Despite the huge number of guests, the staff did everything possible to find us a seat. The food was excellent and the wine was very tasty.

The service is a bit special in its style, a bit casual, a bit cool. Managing the line out front is also a challenge, no doubt. The dishes are delicious, and a visit is definitely worth it.

We had a reservation and arrived a little early. Unfortunately, our seats weren't available yet, and we had to take a walk around town. When we returned, the host recognized us immediately and immediately welcomed us in and showed us our seats. The welcome was super friendly, and we had a pleasant chat. The host always had a lighthearted joke; we liked his humor, and he kept us entertained. The food (farmer's schnitzel, etc.) and drinks (blanc de noir) arrived quickly and were very good. The evening was very pleasant; highly recommended. We'll definitely come back next time we're in Cochem.

A wonderful old, rustic building, with very relaxed and friendly service. The value for money is absolutely fine; we would (try) to go there again. The only downside is that it's a bit difficult to get there if you have limited mobility.

Traditional German restaurant serving hearty meals - my wife could not finish salad. My bratkartoffeln was the best I've eaten in Germany. Excellent service and good music too. Go early or book ahead to avoid waiting.

Fabulous food and incredible atmosphere. Both the steak and the schnitzel were excellent. Really good value. Came early to get a table without much of a wait.

Very good food, generous portions, and very friendly staff. Despite the restaurant being full, the food arrived very quickly and was truly delicious. We went on a Sunday evening and definitely recommend making a reservation!

Good, down-to-earth cuisine at reasonable prices! I've been there three times for dinner and wine – definitely recommended! Even if there's a line out the door, the wait is worth it. The service does its best to satisfy all guests. I'll definitely be back!

Super delicious food, nice atmosphere, and incredibly friendly service. Highly recommended!

Excellent service!! Good food. Worth the wait in the line outside. :)

The conditions were certainly not easy. There was a burst water pipe that day, and it was a bit of a mess. Despite that, I managed to get a seat quickly, even without a reservation. However, I soon had to give it up to a larger group. The people at the new table next to me were quite loud. They didn't have the Federweißer I requested. And I would have preferred to do without the bacon in the fried potatoes. 5 stars anyway, why? Because after the various inconveniences, they gave me a glass of wine on the house. A+ with a star for the service, fantastic!

Excellently organized service with a lot of humor, fun!

A typical German restaurant. No special dishes, just average—not good, but not bad either.

A very cozy restaurant, delicious bread and butter and even more delicious sausage. It's packed, so make a reservation! Very friendly staff, who are still on top of everything and get everything done quickly, but without being rushed.

Hole in the wall we found walking around and had a big line, worth the wait very good food!!

Nice, quaint restaurant. Service was okay. Food was delicious. Unfortunately, the owner came unprompted with the bill. We had just finished our meal and hadn't even finished the wine. He probably needed the table for the next customer. What a shame!

We (two people) arrived at 5:00 PM without a reservation and were lucky to get a table. The atmosphere was pleasant. The service was friendly. The price/performance ratio was good. The food was also very good. The roulade is highly recommended.

Good selections of authentic dishes. Good flavors!

German home cooking in a very tasty version

Nice place, good food, good atmosphere

We ate very well and enjoyed it very much

The food and the ambiance were outstanding. I had the most amazing aspic ever. Highly recommended, the best you'll find in Cochem.

We spontaneously visited on a Wednesday and were lucky to get a table. The friendly reception and service seated us at a table with nice people, and the time passed quickly as we exchanged experiences about the Moselle, and the food was on the table. I had the Frikadelle and my wife had the Leverkusen beer; both were perfect, and the wine was a delight.

The food was delicious, although it was very busy, but they did their best to accommodate everyone. Sometimes we sat at tables with strangers. And despite the crowd, we received our food quickly. I understand that this is a popular restaurant, and the price-quality ratio is excellent.

We came with our 2 teenagers after a very wet and soggy day and they could find a table for us without a reservation despite being very full we were so grateful. The Flamkuchen was 🤌🏽🤌🏽 demolished in 2 mins flat and all the other food was hearty and yummy. Loved it thanks so much!

Good, home-style food at reasonable prices. The slices of saumagen could be a bit thicker. Reservations are recommended on weekends.

After a wait in front of the restaurant, we were given a very warm welcome and were then able to enjoy the delicious schnitzel.

Compliments to the two "makers," YOU and your son-in-law 👍👌👏 and your young staff... Great concept, such an organization 👏❗️ But honest and friendly, and in keeping with the historic ambiance of the house, great food, and prices just like before the coronavirus pandemic. Thank you, we enjoyed it, Doris & Dieter Stralsund 🫶

A truly great recommendation for a nice and delicious meal in touristy Cochem. Suitable for vegetarians. The owner is really nice, the service was fast, and the value for money is really good! You just have to be lucky to get a table. We arrived on Sunday about 10 minutes before opening and got a table.

Very nice vibe, food was okay and for my girlfriend too much (schnitzels). No reservation possible but they were very quick.

Delicious vegan meatballs and a nice quiet read to sit and

A very cozy restaurant with a great atmosphere, excellent service, and delicious food. You'll need to allow some time, as there's already a line outside the restaurant as soon as it opens. Reservations are possible, but advance notice is required. However, it's always possible to nip in as soon as a table becomes available. Nevertheless, you can still enjoy your meal without any time pressure. It was a pleasure eating there. We felt very comfortable there during our vacation and can highly recommend the restaurant if you're in Cochem.

Very amazing atmosphere. Super authentic vibe and food.

Very interesting, old interior. Great service. Excellent food. And, of course, the matching regional wines. Make a reservation!

Wanted an authentic local meal, was not disappointed. Everything was fabulous. Beautiful old building. Recommend reservations

A highlight in Cochem. Super friendly staff and excellent food. A definite recommendation for anyone visiting Cochem.

We wanted to eat and drink, but unfortunately, we weren't served, even though the waiter was outside several times and there were only three tables there... what a pity. We then went to the restaurant 10 meters away.

Six of us were there today. It was by far the best meal of our vacation. Superb quality… the service was attentive and incredibly friendly… we highly recommend this restaurant.

Here, I was able to heal my schnitzel trauma from the day before in a very bad restaurant. I had a fantastic hunter's schnitzel with fried potatoes. My husband had the butcher's meatball, also with fried potatoes. We were very satisfied and would eat there again anytime! It's best to make a reservation or arrive shortly after opening. People line up there! But we were lucky and got a table.

Very tasty food at reasonable prices, and friendly service. I'm probably scoring an own goal here, as it will be difficult to get a table next time, but I highly recommend this place! I felt very comfortable.😊

Excellent. Simple, delicious, great, friendly service, and great value for money.

A quaint inn, a bit off the beaten track. Even without a reservation, you can get a table after a short wait! The food was absolutely fantastic!

I really can't understand all the good reviews. First of all, reservations aren't possible! We had to stand in front of the restaurant for a full 30 minutes until a table became available. The steak was tougher than a shoe sole! The food there is nothing special! And please stop nagging customers with "please leave a good review on Google." They'd do that voluntarily if things were going well for you. All in all, it's a huge disappointment!

You can eat well there. Very friendly service. The steaks were delicious. A lovely atmosphere in an old building. Considering the line at the entrance, it's a restaurant that appeals to more people. Highly recommended.

We were truly disappointed. We waited over an hour for our food – and what ended up on our plates wasn't worth the almost €24 per dish at all. The fried potatoes definitely tasted like something out of a ready-made package and were poorly presented. The steak was okay, but the "decorative" piece of tomato on the plate was a real joke and could have been done without. My partner had a schnitzel that was absolutely bottomless: soggy, tasteless, the sauce bland and lacking any seasoning. In the end, we paid almost €80, including drinks, for a meal that in no way justified the price. Conclusion: Long wait, poorly presented food, mediocre quality at exorbitant prices – definitely the first and last time for us!

We ate here twice and it was delicious. Delicious goulash soup and steak, delicious. After the card machine malfunctioned, we were offered delicious Snaps for the shock. TOP!

Unfortunately, as we were standing in line, because everything was full (which isn't a bad thing), we were skipped over for table assignments with the simple remark, "You ask, you're out." Therefore, it's not recommended. We were already standing in line for 20 minutes, and the people behind us had only arrived a minute earlier. What a shame...
