"We tried the apple strudel with ice cream and vanilla sauce. It is a bit expensive, 6,10€ but it was really tasty. The service was good and relatively fast."

"It was like stepping back in time at Alte Herrlichkeit. This historic half-timbered house from the 18th century tells the story of Monschau's rich past as a cloth town. We learned about the beautiful facade that it was once the subject of a unique renovation against the mayor's wishes. Not much else has changed; we were truly able to enjoy authentic Eifel hospitality in the heart of the old town."

"An early tea with two young ones, we were welcomed and seated within a minute. The host allowed me to practice my German and made a very good suggestion for the children as the portion sizes are plentiful. The HAXE was very good!! A fantastic view of the river and surroundings all round a great German experience and we would recommend it to others."
