Had such a great stay, cozy rooms & friendly helpful staff. Also great food! Worth a visit :)
We very much enjoyed the old world atmosphere, amazing robust German food and some excellent wines and beer. Even though we didn't have a reservation they were able to fit us in and couldn't have been more pleasant. We had speatzles and pork in a wine cream sauce with mushrooms, ham hock with potato dumplings, goulash soup, . all were amazing!! due to Excellence at a reasonable price, you can't miss with this restaurant!

We ate here on May 8, 2013 for dinner. Rothenburg was our last stop for the day while driving up the Romantic Road from Fussen to Frankfurt.
Cafe Alter Keller was one of two restaurants that looked promising according to tripadvisor. Immediately I noticed their outdoor seating was packed. That's a good thing since it usually indicates the place is at least decent. We chose to sit inside, there were a few other tables having dinner but they were only 1/4 full inside.
Other then the kitchen staff, there was one woman and 2 men working the tables. Our waitress was very friendly and offered suggestions on what to order. She wore traditional looking clothing which was kind of cool.
The food was actually quite good. It was one of the better tasting meals we had in Germany. The other really good dinner we had in Germany was in Munich(Seehaus in the Englishchner Garden), but that dinner was also more expensive then this one. Prior to this dinner we had a lot of Bavarian food; our waitress informed us their food was Franconian. This probably explains why we enjoyed this dinner so much since we were tired of Bavarian food.
The restaurant was clean and did not have any odd smells. The service was friendly and fast(fast for German standards). We found German dining service in general to be a much slower pace then other parts of the world. I'm not referring to the time it takes to dine. Many cultures take 1-3 hours for dinner. I'm referring to the time it takes the servers to come and take your order, to ask if there is anything needed such as more beverages in-between, and to bring the bill.
By the time we were done with dinner, it looked like they were starting to clean up for the night. A man brought our bill. He seemed to be the manager or owner. We used our BMW Visa since they didn't take Amex. When the man brought back the bill to sign, he started talking about BMWs. He commented that we were paying with a BMW credit card and said he had the same thing. Then he said he was a big fan of BMWs and he had a 3 series touring. Then he proceeded to show me pictures of his car, and pictures he took at BMW Welt and the BMW Museum. I told him that I was just there the previous week. It was really cool randomly running into a fellow BMW enthusiast. He told me what his dream BMW was. I kind of felt bad about telling him the reason I was in Europe was to do European Delivery on that same car; so I didn't say anything. LOL.
I would recommend this place if you're in the area. If you're a fellow BMW enthusiast you might have someone there to talk cars with.
Make reservations!! Thus is Avery cute, quaint place to flip in for s warm meal where the food is delicious and atmosphere is welcoming!
Our cute wait staff ( name escapes us) but one of the kindest we had encountered. She was sweet to translate menu items for those of us who did not speak German, despite bring full house both nights we were there!
Meals were traditional German home cooking!! Wine was perfectly matched. Loved this town and this dinner location would make me return time after time.
Your Portland Oregonian Friends!
Very good food and friendly service. The pig leg was excellent. It is a bit tucked away from all the tourism traffic but very authentic food.
Amazing atmosphere and location. Food was really food also... must try the apple strudel, delicious. The only small recommendation is to have some music on. Will definitely try again.
Nice outdoor setting, not fancy but enjoyable. Went for their steaks but they stopped for a few days due to the heat. Had a great pork shoulder, wife had a nice fresh salmon fillet. Apricot cheesecake and coffee topped it off. Would return for sure... Especially when they are grilling steaks over a wood flame!
Wonderful hotel and staff right in the heart of this historic city. Easy to walk about, grab a beer or two :) and the accomodation were swell.
The breakfast was a feast and we highly recommend it!!
Stopped by the afternoon before dinner and was still able to make a reservation for Saturday night. Was given a lovely table on the corner for my wife and I. We had the pork shoulder and 1/2 duck special with a couple beers. The food was great, the atmosphere casual and warm, and the waitresses were attentive. Wonderful dinner experience.
We have been avoiding Rick Steves' food recommendations since we had been disappointed with them. I think he chooses places off of ambiance and not off of food taste.
There wasn't very many options in Rothenburg to choose from so we settled on this place even though it is recommended by Rick.
We enjoyed our meals I had sausage and my husband had the cheese spatzle.
The ambiance is neat and the waitresses wear traditional German dresses.
I enjoyed the wine I got, but when I asked for the house wine I didn't think it would be 6 euros!
We were lucky to get a table, because almost every table was reserved for a huge bus tour group that luckily didn't come in until we were almost done. We saw several people get turned away.
Very good kitchen
We were here with our Son
had goulash deer and cow goulash our Son had salmon and t was all outstanding
The waitress was correct and to the point
Not like the usual overhappy persons that you get in most of the restaurats.
Best goulash i had in Rothenburg
I would recomment it to everyone.
Kiss to the waitress and the cook xx
We stopped in for dinner on a rainy day in Rothenburg. The food and ambiance of this place are first rate. The prices were good. Because of the rain seating was limited and consequently many potential customers who came in after us were turned away. They were all asked if they had a reservation and so that is something worth looking into.
Eine freundliche Bedienung und ein übriges Ambiente laden zum Verweilen ein.
Die Räumlichkeiten sind traditionell und gemütlich.
Unser Essen hat geschmeckt. (Sauerbraten, Schweinshaxe, Apfelstrudel)
Besonders zu empfehlen sind auch die Edelbrände. Sehr fein und brennen nicht im Abgang 😉
Unsere Erfahrung hat uns wieder einmal gezeigt, dass man sich auf die vielen Rezensionen hier verlassen kann.
