Zum goldenen Einhorn in Aachen

First I sat outside for a pre-dinner drink, enjoying the view over the market square with the Rathaus just opposite and the Karlsbrunnen. The waiter recommended as a beer an Eifeler Landbier, which was not on the menu card. In Germany there is obviously a tradition to serve the draft beers in a certain amount, always depending on the type of beer and the glasses for it. While the Kölsch I had the evening before comes in 0,2l or 0,4l glasses, this beer from the barrel is served only in amounts of 0,3l. The beer from the nearby Eifel hills and produced by Bitburger was a Bavarian type Helles, thus with less hops than the usual Pils. When it started to drizzle I went inside, where I also ordered dinner. There is an attractive traditional interior with a lot of wood, definitely atmospheric. Soon after I had sat down, a big group of locals arrived, who seemed to know the staff, occupying most of the still available tables. People, who arrived later, had to be comforted to come another day. My choice for a meal, was their own 'Einhorn-Teller', consisting of very German items like baked Blood Sausage, Kassler (cured, smoked pork) and Nürnberger Rostbratwürstchen served on top of Sauerkraut and Kartoffel-Püree. I quite enjoyed it. With it I drank a Paulaner (from Munich), served in the typical glass for wheat beer.

If you're looking for a German restaurant where you'll feel right at home, this is the place. 10/10 food and even better service.

Yes, without reservation, very, very nice service. Good portion size.

The best schnitzel we had in Aachen, and delicious sauerkraut. Service was very friendly, speedy, and accommodating of extra requests. Beautiful location with a view of the town hall

A fantastic dining experience in the center square of Aachen. The staff were all very friendly and went out of their way to make sure we were as comfortable as possible. The Madagascar schnitzel was very delicious, as was the side of saurkraut. The tomato soup was pulpy, creamy and sweet. All around an excellent time!

Unfortunately for us, the Viennese schnitzel was hard and dry, we may have gotten used to eating it soft by marinating it at home, I don't know, since the service was crowded, I had to get up and get it myself, we asked for ketchup and mayonnaise, but it didn't come. The beef goulash was very soft, its sauce was very good, we ate it with pleasure. In general, the view and the food were satisfying,

Very satisfied with the service, atmosphere, menu choice, nothing to complain about.

Endroit accueillant. Très bon repas. Apfelkuchen exceptionnel ! Glace qui sent vraiment la vanille Personnel sympathique.

If you want to eat typical Rhineland dishes and enjoy some time in a cozy restaurant, you've come to the right place.

I'm not sure if the food was good. It was my first encounter with German cuisine and to be honest it's not my thing. Except for the dessert, it was a killer, an apple cake with cinnamon and ice cream, magnificent. The chucrut and sausages not my thing. Maybe for people more accustomed to Central European cuisine it's good. My husband likes chucrut and his opinion was not convincing. The service, very good, a very smiling young girl who speaks very good English and in the bar a nice woman who speaks English and French. Kisses to both.

The food is worth its weight in gold ✍️ Top-notch service. Top-notch staff

We didn't like the place. The food was expensive for what they served. The place smells strongly of food, and the hallway to the restroom smells of urine. The staff was friendly, though.

I went there on a recommendation. Unfortunately, the food, in my opinion, wasn't anything special. There wasn't enough food for one man. My meal only included one dumpling...that's too little. The sauce also tasted just okay. The food was okay, but not outstanding.

We had a lovely dining experience on 21 April. The cozy, traditional German interior created a nice atmosphere. The food was authentic and delicious, with good beer recommendation. A special thanks to the friendly lady who took our order, she patiently explained the menu to us in English, which we really appreciated. Overall, we felt very welcome and well taken care of.

Lovely German restaurant. Very nice ambiance, good food and decent prices.

La ubicación es genial, con excelente café y vibraciones. El personal era amable. En general, fue una gran experiencia.

Super friendly staff and landlady. She served us with a smile and make us comfortable to dine there. She recommended us the Aachen cuisines which are perfect to taste. Food is fantastic plus with nice German interior decorations. If you want to have German pork leg, they don’t have it. We had Schnitzel Wienerart mit Pommes frites und kleinem Beilagensalat, „Einhorn-Teller", Aachener Sauerbraten in Printensauce and Paniertes Seehechtfilet. They are good and tasty local food. I will surely be there again.

Very poor customer service. We sat at a free table and waited 30 minutes. Two waitresses one waiter. Nobody looked at us, no greeting, no menu. After 30 minutes we left. What kind of hospitality is that? As Aachen residents, we are disappointed with how customers are treated. Maybe she should pursue another business. I'm ashamed of her.

Good atmosphere. Smaller plates than in other restaurants

What an experience haha. The decoration is very special but appropriate for the type of restaurant. Sauerkraut was really tasty! Reasonably priced & large portions + very friendly service!

Really nice place. Great schnitzel.

Good home cooking - fair price - historical ambience - recommended 🙂

Great location, lovely food and a waitress who made great suggestions! The staff and food are the highlights of this restaurant !!

Nice food for interesting price! Location is great and interior very cool! Second time visit and again great food and great service! My place to go when visiting Aken! Check out the new pictures,.. and yes schnitzel,.. but this time with delicious “pepper sauce “

They made reservations as much as possible and responded kindly, so I enjoyed my meal. During my stay, my colleagues visited three or four times. The schnitzel Madagascar pepper cream sauce is very delicious, and the French fries are very delicious. The beer here is also delicious. I also recommend the rump steak.

Very nice old restaurant. The waitresses were friendly and willing to joke. Food was excellent.

The atmosphere inside was very authentic and nice. The waiters were polite and friendly, we liked the food very much, it is a nice place to eat if you happen to pass by.

Like the vibe/food in the restaurant! Definitely recommend to try the schnitzel and beef goulash, they are very delicious.

A unique, almost medieval atmosphere. Delicious food with local options. The price is not entirely affordable

A great place for truly local food and beer in a great location. Menus are only in German but service is wonderful!

It was our first time there. We spontaneously got a table without a reservation. The schnitzel was delicious, but the salad lacked a bit of dressing. The service was very friendly and attentive. If we're ever in Aachen again, we'll definitely come back.

A German restaurant facing the square in front of Aachen's City Hall. The interior was interesting with old kitchen utensils hanging from the ceiling, and the restaurant's design also gave a sense of history. The menu was only in German, but the restaurant staff were all kind and we had a comfortable time. The food was not too large and was delicious.

Friendly staff, managed to find a spot for us despite it being busy. Food was absolutely fine.

We had a very nice time in this restaurant eating German specialties. The service was super friendly and we specifically liked sitting in this little alcove.

Wir waren an einem Samstag zur Mittagszeit im goldenen Einhorn. Die urige Atmosphäre fällt natürlich als erstes ins Auge und alles wirkt umso einladender. Reserviert hatten wir nicht. Der Betrieb in jenem Moment, ließ es jedoch zu, dass wir prompt einen Tisch erhielten. Die Bedienung wirkte allgemein aufmerksam und freundlich. Interne Kritikgespräche Richtung Mitarbeiter, würde ich aber nicht in Hörreichweite der Kundschaft führen. Das Essen überzeugte komplett. Champignon-Rahm Schnitzel war sehr gelungen. Vielleicht hätte der Panade 5 Minuten weniger Bratzeit nicht geschadet. Der Sauerbraten war, gerade in Verbindung mit der Sauce, ebenfalls vorzüglich. Preislich, normal bis leicht erhöht. Ein schöner Aufenthalt, den wir gerne wiederholen.

We went to the restaurant for dinner with a group. Our server was extremely friendly and helpful. There is a nice selection of drinks and food. Drinks were delivered quickly, and our food was also delivered promptly and was delicious. You can pay with cash or card. Conclusion: We had a very good time and would gladly return. Highly recommended.

Great location, authentic atmosphere, delicious food. Mainly traditional cuisine.

Simple pero bueno. Comí salsa de hongos con mi schnitzel. Habrían estado mejor más hongos. El servicio fue agradable y rápido.

Angelockt durch positive Bewertungen, haben wir rechtzeitig einen Tisch reserviert. Das Restaurant hat eine urige, historische, gemütliche Atmosphäre. Sehr netter Service hat unsere Wünsche entgegengenommen. Die Gerichte handwerklich gut gemacht haben uns geschmeckt und das alles zu akzeptablen Preisen.

The food generally tasted good, but seemed like potato salad and sausages from the supermarket. So it's not high quality, but rather simple. As I said, it still tasted good. In my opinion, price-performance isn't quite right. The waiter was in a great mood. The furnishings are rustic and there is something to discover on every wall. 😀

A nice cozy place. Directly opposite the town hall.

We went to Aachen to visit the Christmas market. We also wanted to taste typical German food. At the internet, we found ´Im Goldenen Einhorn´. The reviews were good. So, we decided to visit this restaurant. Inside the restaurant is a nice and cosy interior. We ordered snitzel and ´Einhorn teller´. The food was of good quality and amount was just fine. Very friendly service also. We will sure come back to this nice restaurant.

Very good food for reasonable prices. Old atmosphere but modern vibes. Not a restaurant for first date but if you are hungry. Kids friendly. Not really an option for vegans or vegetarian. Gluten free options are not available. Otherwise a nice restaurant.

Kindly. Tasty. Fast. I recommend it.

Wir waren anlässlich des Geburtstags meines Mannes in Aachen und haben spontan im goldenen Einhorn zu Mittag gegessen. Der Tee war qualitativ hochwertig und sehr lecker, aber das Kartoffelpüree hat alles in den Schatten gestellt, denn es war das mit Abstand leckerste Püree, das ich je gegessen habe. Wir kommen wieder!

Rustic, cozy restaurant centrally located in the old town. The home-style food was super tasty. The service was very friendly and “in a good mood”

Fast friendly service. We only ordered drinks.

Delicious and cozy traditional German restaurant!

The food is nothing special and quite expensive. The restaurant benefits from its location near the town hall and the tourists, otherwise it probably wouldn't be able to survive. The service was friendly.

The “Golden Unicorn” impresses with its rustic charm and friendly atmosphere. We were warmly welcomed and escorted to our place. In the front area, a cozy bar invites you to end the evening with a nightcap. The dining area at the back offers a pleasant atmosphere. Unfortunately, the food didn't quite live up to the positive first impressions. The schnitzel, for example, was a bit too thick, which meant that the taste fell short of our expectations.

FRIENDLY SERVICE VERY ATTENTIONAL

We stopped in to drink at the bar while in town for the Christmas markets. Beautiful bar with white and blue tiles behind and a friendly and busy landlady working a small team of staff. It was a cosy and cheerful place to stand at the bar and get a drink although it was busy with people having lunch while we were there. Good beer, but we didn't eat so can't comment on food.

Eaten here several times, great. Sometimes reservations are recommended.

Did not eat there but Irish pub in Germanh and what a night

Rainy Christmas market visit. Stopped by the golden unicorn. Small pub restaurant with good home cooking. That's fine. probably more of a tourist thing around the AC Cathedral. Great old pictures of AC. I'm glad there are still restaurants like this. In many places there would be a tipico or something similar. inside. come back next year - promised! greeting goes out

Very glad we came here. Amazing service, had to wait for our table but the waitress was so friendly and gave us a table very quick. Sabine was our waitress, very nice. Good food, nice menu. My husband had the sauerbraten. Very tender. The food was quickly served. Really nice athmosphere, laid back, no stress even though it was very busy. We dont mind coming back here:-)

Comida encantadora, y personal acogedor. , el servicio y la comida son encantadores. La decoración es tan auténtico alemán y es muy bonito.

Grab a few pints at the bar. The bartender ensures that you are never left with an empty glass!

Unable to book Impossible to get a table even if you pass 2 or 3 times in the evening And rude staff

The waitress was totally and friendly.

Impossible de réserver sauf si vous êtes allemand. Sale mentalité avec un accueil déplorable. Passez votre chemin si vous êtes touriste

Good place and service, however the food was too bad. I went for trying the schnitzel, however it was too salty. I don't recommend it.

Lange Wartezeit, die Hoffnung war dahin gehend, dass das Essen wenigstens heiß ist. Leider war dies nicht der Fall. Sehr enttäuschend.

Tuve una comida encantadora aquí. La comida era muy sabrosa y el personal de servicio era muy amable y servicial. El pudín de chocolate era súper.

Had dinner there with a friend a few days ago. Service was very friendly, you immediately feel at home, the food was great and the portion was ok, we would be happy to come back.

Great food, great ambience, great people! I was only in Aachen for three days and because I liked it here so much, I ate here twice. I'd love to come back

Very nice restaurant in an old atmosphere. Very cozy. The quality of the food was slightly below average

You can't get more traditional than that. And for the location, the price-performance ratio is great. If you are visiting Aachen and want to eat traditionally, this is the right place for you.

First time having Schnitzel IN GERMANY. It was amazing!

Delicious food and quick service! Perfect for a stop in between. Price/quality also certainly ok!

We were there for dinner with a larger group and communicated our meal wishes in advance. Smaller changes could also be implemented spontaneously, and requests were made again table by table so that tables received their food together. The food was very tasty and everything was served in a very appropriate manner. Gladly again!

Lovingly preserved historical ambience (throughout - from the bar to the quiet place), attentive service with natural friendliness, affordable prices and delicious food - these were the ingredients for a successful end to the evening in the Golden Unicorn today. Ideal for stopping off after a stroll through Aachen's old town with its thousand stories. For the sake of the staff, just keep in mind that the kitchen closes at 9:45 p.m.

Good food, unfortunately unpleasant atmosphere and very rude service.

Nice rustic atmosphere, very tasty food, friendly staff, good price/performance ratio... absolutely recommended...!!!

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.

wir möchten uns recht herzlich bei dem HERVORRAGEND freundlichen u empathischen kellner( wir spassten über POLEN u Tyskie) und seiner netten kollegin bedanken....wir hatten durst u hunger u wuerden wundervoll bedient....portionen hätten etwas grösser sein können....aber das war nich soooo wichtig...DANKEEEE u LG an die beiden netten menschen....

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

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

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.

Muy buen restaurante frente al ayuntamiento de Aquisgrán. Comida típica alemana, tomamos un schnitzel clásico y otro con una crema de champiñones realmente deliciosos. Te lo presentan con patatas fritas o pochadas. Te lo acompañan con una pequeña ensalada también muy rica. Correcta atención y justo precio. Totalmente recomendable

Freundliche Bedienung und eine interessante Speisekarte auch mit lokalen Gerichten. Preis- Leistungverhaeltnis ist absolut in Ordnung. Abends Reservierung empfohlen.

Wir haben fast ein einhalb Stunden auf harte Pommes, die in altem Öl frittiert wurden und Schnitzel mit Fertig-Soße gewartet. Danach war uns schlecht.

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!
