An old tavern beside the market square, dating to 1389, one of Bonn's oldest restaurants, specializing in traditional Rhineland dishes.
Right beside Bonn's market square and the pink old town hall, this house dates to 1389 and is one of the oldest restaurants in the city. Signature dishes include Rhineland sour-braised beef with almond-raisin sauce and potato dumplings; “Heaven and Earth” (Himmel un Ääd), with blood sausage and liver sausage served with mashed potatoes and apple sauce; and potato pancakes with apple sauce. These go well with Gaffel Kölsch. The kitchen serves food non-stop from 11 a.m., with main courses about €15–28. The best tables fill up quickly, so reserve by phone or via OpenTable.
