We had the great pleasure of spontaneously visiting the Can VaRa restaurant in Bad Münstereifel last night. It was an experience we won't soon forget.
Despite not having a reservation, we were seated at a cozy table near a wonderful bush basil plant, which smelled so wonderful and immediately made us feel like we'd been transported to the heart of the Mediterranean.
The menu offered a fantastic selection of Mediterranean dishes and tapas, freshly prepared and bursting with flavor. The combination of high-quality ingredients, attention to detail, and the masterful skill of chef Ralf made for an unparalleled culinary experience. I would especially like to highlight Vanessa's fantastic wine selection, which perfectly complemented my meal.
The two of them were incredibly welcoming from the very beginning and made us feel welcome and appreciated throughout our entire stay.
All in all, our visit to Can VaRa was an exceptional experience. The combination of delicious food, a warm atmosphere, and first-class service makes it a place we would recommend to anyone without hesitation. We're very much looking forward to visiting the restaurant again in the near future!
UPDATE from October 17, 2025
Last Friday, we celebrated our 5th anniversary at Can VaRa in Bad Münstereifel – and it was once again a wonderful evening. We both chose the menu, and just like our first visit, everything was simply perfect: finely balanced flavors, lovingly presented plates, and that very special Mediterranean atmosphere that makes Can VaRa so unique.
Ralf and Vanessa once again managed to delight us both culinary and personal. The food was perfectly prepared, the wine was excellently selected, and their warmth made the evening truly special.
After five years of shared memories, it was the perfect place to celebrate this special day – with enjoyment, warmth, and a touch of vacation feeling in the heart of the Eifel region.
Thank you for this wonderful evening – we'll definitely be back! 💛
What a wonderful establishment!
Tonight, the two of us and our dog spent a wonderful evening at the Klosterschänke. The beautifully decorated restaurant not only impresses with its ambiance, but also with its super friendly service and fantastic food!
We also find its ancient history very fascinating.
It was also nice that the dog was warmly welcomed and that we were given a suitable, quiet spot. ☺️
She rounded off our last evening in Bad Herrenalb wonderfully.
See you on our next vacation!

We were visiting Augsburg and spontaneously dropped in without a reservation. The service was super friendly and made every effort to find us a table, which worked out. The food was truly delicious. We had a non-vegan friend with us who was also rather skeptical. But he also really enjoyed it and even said he'll probably come here more often from now on. The whole visit was truly lovely and a highlight of the day! Thank you so much, we'll be back!☺️
Some of the best pierogi and gołąbki I’ve ever had, and the service is just so amazing, the owner makes you feel at home with warm conversation, prompt service and delicious food. Must must must go!!!
I can't actually give a star because I can't rate the restaurant. But in order to upload this review, I unfortunately have to. No offense, but I'm just writing what happened.
My girlfriend wanted a chicken dish. Unfortunately, chicken wasn't available that Sunday evening. They offered us the meatball dish instead, which was apparently very spicy. My girlfriend, who doesn't like spicy food or certain spices, wanted to try the meatballs first. This seemed to be a problem. Afterward, we unfortunately had to leave the restaurant.
