Zum goldenen Einhorn in Aachen

Unfortunately only canteen food. Unimaginative. Cooked carelessly. ..Sauerbraten with a small dumpling. Salad bouquet a tiny leaf. Torbreaded fish straight from the package. Very disappointing. The service was really friendly and professional. Great location but never again. Disappointing.

The schnitzel was tough and we didn't eat it. The fried potatoes were tasty, the fries were dry and fried too hard. Too bad because we really expected good food

Cozy restaurant, delicious food (schnitzels!), good beer (Paulaner). Highly recommended!

Nice traditional restaurant in the heart of Aachen. Very friendly service, fantastic atmosphere. Food is basic but tasty. Don’t expect gourmet — but that’s okay! Fair prices, good quality. Would come back.

Great food, great staff, great music. Not overpriced, typical and tasty German food!

Child-friendly, humorous service, delicious food, served quickly, highly recommended!

If you are looking for a very good traditional inn, you will find it here. Delicious dishes and a whirlwind of service. That's exactly how good gastronomy works.

Nice atmosphere, delicious food, good service. We'd love to come back.

Delicious food, relaxed and friendly service in a rustic restaurant! Highly recommended!

If you're looking for a schnitzel, you've come to the right place! Authentic German atmosphere, lots of wood.

Friendly and delicious, as always.

Very nice restaurant, quick service

Excellent service. The interior ambience is too good and takes you in the 16th century .

A very good establishment, in a very good location. We ate Schnitzels, Vienna and Madagascar. Big portions with salad. Everything was delicious and plenty of it. The prices are like for the center of a European city. I would visit again.

For 48 years now, my unofficial birth certificate has hung in the traditional restaurant “Zum goldenen Einhorn” in the Charles City of Aachen. On the day I was born, my father gathered his friends and gave one (or more) a party. This historic day was then captured on the nearest tangible picture frame or its back. And today I received my birth certificate from the owner of this restaurant. Just like that. Because he immediately understood what this meant to me. THANK YOU Mr. Becker! I shed more than one tear of joy. The picture frame and its inscription will accompany me home and will have a place of honor there. The food and the two waitresses were also excellent! And the location is recommended. Tradition is carried on here in a good way. But everyone in Öscher/Aachen has known this for a long time. And all visitors to this beautiful city should not miss it.

Smaller portions but not a high price. Very tasty and particularly attentive and nice employee.

We were there from the 20th to the 22nd. 09. in Aachen, and 3 times in the Golden Unicorn. Already the second time we were greeted like regular guests; from the first time we still knew what we had eaten and what we had planned. We can only warmly recommend this restaurant!!!

Wir sind zufällig hierhergekommen, waren im Dom, dann in der Altstadt und schließich am Platz vor dem Rathaus. Das goldene Einhorn war einladend und hat eine Außengastronomie. Draußen war ein Tisch für uns frei. Die nette Bedienung nahm die Getränkebestellung auf und prompt gab es etwas kühles zu trinken. Die Essenskarte ist Brauhaustypisch, hatte aber auch Sauerbraten mit Klössen, Rotkohl und Schnitzel mit Bratkartoffeln auf der Karte. Es war lecker und sehr entpannend, gemütlich dort.

Traditional German restaurant. The spaghetti Pesto/rucola was extremely bitter. Pesto was overpowered by rucola under the pasta and rucola in the sauce. Shod have know better and choose a German wurst 😁

Delicious food and drink. Service top!!! It is advisable to reserve.

The terrace faces the square, so it has a nice atmosphere. However, you should take into account that there are many people smoking on the terrace. The staff is friendly and helpful in English, and although the menu is not in English, it can be easily interpreted using a translator. I ate schnitzel and wurst, but the schnitzel was ordinary, and the wurst was delicious, with a slightly blood sundae-like flavor! Although payment can be made by card, it took a long time for the waiter in charge of card payment to come to us when we said we would pay by card. I recommend taking your time and going. It was a restaurant with friendly staff and a nice atmosphere.

We spent a lovely afternoon with friends in beautiful and historic surroundings. The staff is very, very attentive and friendly. We'd love to come back!

Wonderful restaurant. From the interior looks like it has been around for a very long time. Had the schnitzel which was hugh. Served hot with fried potatoes. Service was fast considering how busy the were. Also had the mushrooms sauce on the side and was very flavorful.

Uriges Restaurant, mit leckerem Essen und netter Bedienung, die auch mal auf individuelle Wünsche sofort eingehen. Wenn man draussen sitzt hat dazu einen tollen Blick auf das Aachener Rathaus.

Visited here on day 27 of a 4 week trip round Europe. Good menu full of traditional German dishes. We both enjoyed our choices and would not hesitate to return

Tasty Nuremberg sausages and a nice view of the historical gothic city hall

Food very good. The horseradish sauce with the Tafelspitz was just right. Not too spicy and not too weak.

Five Swabians spontaneously wanted five seats, even though the restaurant was already busy. Something was moved around and we were allowed to take a seat. The waitresses were friendly, the food was very good, the restaurant was very cozy and of course the location was perfect. Definitely recommended, we would be happy to come back on our next visit to Aachen.

Typical German dinner, the girls were really kind, they helped us with the menu which unfortunately was only in German, really good and well presented food, worth trying

Typical and historic place. Excellent beer, poor food (goulash with potatoes and beetroot). Tough meat, very small portion and above all it didn't taste like goulash. Very helpful and welcoming staff.

Nice experience. Quality food and tasty.

Very tasty food and super nice service

Traditional German restaurant with traditional German food. However the atmosphere inside was lacking. Schnitzel was nice as was the salad. One family member got sausages with saukerkrat and it was mid. Probs best to get seat outside in square.

Terrible! The Unicorn is such a nice place, but it has gone down a lot. If you look closer, it no longer looks clean and well-kept like we used to. It now seems quite neglected. We were there yesterday and ordered Kölsch. The beer was warm, and when we told the waiter behind the counter, he said that all the beer kegs were warm at the moment. What kind of statement is that? In the past you were lucky if you got a seat at the counter, the last few times we were there alone, why? We won't be going there any more for the time being, we don't want to spend any money on warm beer. If this continues, this beautiful, traditional pub will also be driven into the wall; they have already successfully achieved it with the Golden Swan. It's a shame to see that.

The four of us only had a drink here, so we can't judge much. The staff was friendly, but the chairs are absolutely worth replacing. Seldom have I sat so badly and in a prominent place.

We went to the Golden Unicorn for dinner with the extended family on 2 consecutive evenings. (approx. 40 people) It was two wonderful evenings. The staff was competent, very friendly and very patient, because it was certainly not easy to satisfy 40 people with small children at the same time. Even when the children were in the path of the staff, no bad word was said. Hats off to you for the great performance We all felt very comfortable Thank you for your very nice hospitality and entertainment. We can only recommend you

Very nice food and great service

We spent a lovely evening here. Nice, rustic atmosphere, great location, very nice service and delicious food. We took the sauerbraten twice because we really wanted to try the printen sauce. I can recommend this to everyone! Very tasty, even during the non-Christmas season :)

Good reviews, high expectations and then disappointing. The man was gruff, the woman was very friendly. Fast service but food was substandard, as Belgians we are used to better. Not bad and not good either, just average to satisfy your hunger. Nice interior, but toilet stinks. Good to have a drink on the terrace, but not to eat.

Tasty, friendly, large portion, gladly again

Great staff, each one contributes in their own way. To make the evening as comfortable as possible. Very nice interaction in the team. The food could be a little smarter. And the menu could possibly offer more selection. But on the whole it's a beautiful shop. With beautiful flowers at the table and historical decorations. Thank you very much....

The sauerbraten was recommended to me during the city tour. The tip was worth its weight in gold. The meat is tender as butter and the sauce is a dream!!! Rarely eaten so well.

I ordered a Leberkäse with fried egg and fried potatoes. Unfortunately it was not possible to get vegetables instead of fried potatoes. But it was possible to pay the full price and not get any potatoes. I won't go here anymore. Food and service was otherwise very good.

We went after 3pm and they didn't have service until 6pm 📿

Excellent food and service at this historic restaurant in the Markt in Aachen. I had the Schnitzel with pepper sauce and it was delicious.

Sehr gutes schmackhaftes Essen sehr schöne Location gute gekühlte Getränke sehr aufmerksame Bedienungen Sogar dem Hund wurde Wasser angeboten … alles perfekt Wenn wir mal wieder in Aachen sind unsere 1 . Adresse

Nothing vegan and the workers did not seem to know what vegetarian means. They suggested a bean soup that had mettwurst in it, fish dishes, and pesto spaghetti with Parmesan (which usually has animal rennet in it). There was also a fly in my beer, and they didn't offer me a new one. Nice old furnishings.

Nice and cozy and very friendly service, soup was delicious, unfortunately rump steak was already "off" around 1:30 p.m. and boiled beef was a bit too "bland" for me. But I'd love to come back. Thank you and best regards

Historic Gasthaus right in the centre of Aachen. Walking inside it feels like you are stepping into history. Good traditional and regional dishes at reasonable prices.

When we were there, the restaurant wasn't very busy. The atmosphere is rustic, brewery style, I like it. The table that was kept free for us was a bit narrow and didn't have much legroom. The service was very courteous, friendly and usually quick. The deciding factor for “only” three stars is the quality of the food. We had schnitzel and fish. The meat tasted kind of strange, so not bad, but not like what you're used to. Kind of bland, like nothing. We were disappointed then.

Super nice staff and cozy atmosphere, but we found the portion size much too small. It's a shame, otherwise there's a good selection on the menu.

Came to this quaint restaurant by chance, the service was very nice and the food was really good. Price performance is also absolutely okay. More than satisfied.

A good restaurant with tasty traditional German cuisine.

We don't have to go to Aachen because of the golden unicorn!

Unfortunately the level has dropped. The service was a bit pushy, the food used to be much better. You couldn't wash your hands in the men's toilet, but you could wash your hands in the women's toilet. There was no toilet paper there, as our women said. Hopefully it will be like before.

Wonderful dinner! Delicious food, professional service, pleasant atmosphere. Thanks a lot

The place is located in the Aachen center. They offer typical German dishes. Both the food and the service are really good. You can feel the German atmosphere. Last but not least, the beer is amazing

We truly enjoyed dinner at this nice and stylish restaurant that offers local cuisine and excellent beer. Gosia was too kind and professional, we enjoyed her great service, excellent job by entire team. We´ll be back for sure!

This is a truly traditional informal German restaurant- rather like an old style pub, lots of wooden features and old photos of the town. Great friendly service and an excellent utterly German menu; very reasonably priced . Book by phone if you can as they don’t accept wmail bookings for just two people . Really busy by 18.30! Not much Englisg spoken and menu only in German but all the more authentic because of that !

Typische Duitse gutbürgerliche Küche met allerlei zaken op de kaart waar men in Duitsland (en Nederland) van houdt. Goede verhouding tussen prijs en kwaliteit.

Nice on the train by the church. Delicious schnitzel. Cozy here. Classic German food. And schnapps. Nice nice

Gutbürgerliche Küche, flotte, freundliche Bedienung die an diesem Abend sogar Zeit hatte sich nach den Essen mit uns sehr nett zu unterhalten.

Unfortunately, despite the opening times, the kitchen is closed

A nice restaurant with a good menu. We ate there with a few people and the satisfaction was very high. I had a Madagascar schnitzel that was very good. If I come to Aachen again, I will eat there again.

Great experience not just for tourists.

Céntrica cervecería donde reponer fuerzas después de visitar la ciudad. Servicio amable y buena relación calidad precio

Nice authentic German restaurant with accompanying menu. Super friendly and sweet staff!

Delicious food, fast service and friendly staff. If you are in Aachen you absolutely must eat here.

Cool interior. Tasty German food. Kitchen was closing after 3pm.

All 10 of the group enjoyed the food. Friendly service.

Quaint restaurant very authentic and pleasant atmosphere

Good home-style food in a rustic atmosphere. The menu is small and clear and the staff is extremely motivated and friendly. Came spontaneously on a Friday evening and were given a warm welcome. Gladly again

Very quaint restaurant. You feel comfortable straight away. Pleasant atmosphere. The menu is clear, which is always a good sign. The dishes we chose were very, very good. The service is unbeatable. Absolutely to suggest. Top!

Very friendly service, the waiters are really interactive with customers. They created a great atmosphere for me. Thanks unicorn

Best bar I ever saw in my life.without question service is so good and people who work there are so gentle.

Tolles traditionelles Restaurant. Leckeres Essen, die Preisen sind gut, die Lage ist perfekt and die Leute sind sehr freundlich. Gerne wieder

The restaurant is very rustic but attractive. The staff was nice and accommodating. The Sauerbraten with Printen sauce took some getting used to, but ultimately quite good.

We really liked everything. It was delicious, the portions were filling. Delivery is fast. Very atmospheric. And of course, the location opposite the town hall is very pleasing.

Food was ok Service and atmosphere were really great 😊

Very quaint pub. Friendly staff, delicious food. Always happy to be there.

Not bad, a typical tourist restaurant. Many dishes from menu were not present….

Great food 👍 We recommend. If we're around here again, we'll be happy to come back.

Great food, service and atmosphere

Laute Abba Musik, herzliche Balkangastfreudschaft und deftige Fertigspeisen wären ein tolles Konzept, wenn der Gast nicht wegen des aachener, geschichtsträchtigen Flairs und der städtischen Geschichte kommen würde. Der aachener Sauerbraten besteht aus Fertigprodukten. Zu viele Lufterfrischer im Restaurant und auf der Toilette. Die Muster der Fliesen in den Ecken der Toiletten sind nicht mehr zu erkennen, hier wurde schon seit Jahren nicht gewischt. Die Homepage verspricht ein anspruchsvolles Ambiente, vor Ort findet man aber eher ein unteres Kneipenniveau vor mit leicht ungepflegter Einrichtung.

Sehr leckeres Essen in einem alten aber historisch, gemütlichen Restaurant mit sehr freundlichem Personal.

Typical German restaurant. Friendly staff.

The worst restaurant in German!

Wife and I had lunch there today. Simple but pretty good food, excellent beer. Seems popular with the locals. Limited English (better than my German, though), but we managed to understand each other okay. Highly recommended.

Oude traditionele Duitse restaurant, eten prima niet heel bijzonder service was prima.

Tried to reserve for dinner in December 2023 and called in September 2023, knowing it was Christmas rush. Was told that because of Christmas Market, no reservations were being taken - first come, first served only. Arrived at restaurant at 4:20pm to avoid any rush, only to be told that the kitchen opened at 6pm and that all tables were reserved… and even that wasn’t overly friendly. When I said that I had called in September and was told the above, they shrugged. So which is it? Great impression of Aachen (not), but I don’t think they even care.

Delicious dinners, great ambience and friendly staff. We enjoyed our first meal so much we returned two nights later. Cheers!

Ist eine schöne alte Kneipe mit sehr netten Personal 🍻🍻

Sehr freundlicher Service und gutes Essen. Wir waren zu viert und hatten ein Kleinkind dabei, trotz der wuseligen Atmosphäre in der Vorweihnachtszeit, haben wir uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Sehr leckeres Essen aber einzigartig war die Frau, die uns mit Leidenschaft und Herzlichkeit mit dem Herz auf der Zunge bedient hat. Service war super! Danke!

Visited Aachen from Maastricht, Netherlands, we were lucky to get a table (it was a Sunday during Christmas market). Service was very nice, food was sufficiently good for the price, but nothing too extraordinary (I had just a basic Schnitzel). Atmosphere was great, very traditional wooden interior and veeery cozy 😍. Overall, I think it’s a nice place to eat in Aachen for tourists , if you’re looking for something more traditional.

Freundlich aber Essen nicht gut

Na een bezoek aan de kerstmarkt hier naar binnen gegaan in een sfeervol ouderwets Duits restaurant. Zeer vriendelijke en cvlotte bediening! Lekker gegeten en gedronken voor een prima prijs!

Tolles traditionelles Restaurant. Leckeres Essen, die Preisen sind gut, die Lage ist perfekt and die Leute sind sehr freundlich. Gerne wieder!

Wirklich nette und professionelle Bedienung. Das Essen war ok aber eher durchschnittlich.

Urgemütlich, super leckeres Essen und ein zuvorkommendes, freundliches und aufmerksames Personal. Das Restaurant muss man weiterempfehlen und beim nächsten Besuch in Oche werden wird wieder dort Essen.
