Best known as the capital of Charlemagne's Frankish empire, today's Aachen sits at the juncture where Germany meets the Netherlands (the Dutch know it as Aken) and Belgium (where "Walloons" call it Aix-la-Chapelle). But Aachen's history goes back even further than 8th-century Charlemagne. Roman soldiers dating back to the 1st century AD cherished its hot springs (as did Charlemagne, who loved a good spa day just as much as the next guy). Aachen Cathedral, northern Europe's oldest and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is the city's main attraction.

I went here last week on a work trip with several colleagues. We asked the hostess about a local drink which has Prosecco and a liqueur and sparkling water in it. She suggested her favorite drink, which she said was more refreshing. It was a mixture of prosecco and some grapefruit liqueur. It was delicious! Great recommendations also followed for food. On Thursdays, they have "small plates" where you can order 4, 6, 8 or 12 small portions of regular menu items. They're served in courses, and they are amazing! We each ordered 6 small plates and were happy with everything we tried. A few standouts were the the Bloody Mary Espuma with grilled prawns (which were actually very small shrimp, but it might have just been the translation) and a risotto with octopus and cashews. Really lovely place; excellent food, great service and a great vibe. Will definitely return next time I'm in town.

The café/pub is located comfortably in the historic center of Aachen with large terrace next to the cathedral and town hall. The Mansion was built in 1658 shortly after the disastrous town fire and is now one of the oldest secular buildings of the city. U

This place has a great and for me unique variation of beer from different countries. The special offer of Domkeller is that the don't have an own kitchen. You get food served from neighbouring restaurants. A great concept that gives me the opportunity to chose between 3 different food styles from 3 different restaurant.Not to mention that the staff is extremely friendly and the service very much focus on customers

Located 300m from the old town centre. Lively and family run. Simple unsophisticated grub, and plenty of it. Very busy - when we phoned we were told they were full, but our hotel was able to book us a table for 4 at the time we wanted (and then it was definitely full!!).Service was a bit slow, but given the place was packed it was not surprising.

My family and I decided to revisit this place after we had been there once before and we thought we had come to appreciate its fast service, great food and friendy staff. This time, we had but a few hours to spent in the city so we ordered but 4 salads and nothing else. After 40min of waiting it became painfully obvious to us that we might be spending the afternoon as sitting ducks waiting for food rather than visiting the city. We finally got the attention of our waiter who told us that there had been a mixup of who was responsible for making the salads but that they would be there in 2-3min. After 10min we finally recieved the salads and the waiter boldly declared that we would come to appreciate the waiting-time since the salad had been prepared with an 'extra amount of love'. Unfortunately, I felt the opposite was the case: The hastily thrown together salad was served with too much dressing drowing out the taste of the ingredients and the dry bread was as tough to bite as a dog-biscuit. I had had the same salad here once before - why the lack of repeatability in quality? Anyway, one should never feel happy to finally be able to leave a restaurant and I regret not simply getting up in the middle of waiting, paying for the water and leaving. I'm sorry, but when you can't get the service part right, that's a big red flag. And if you do, just apologize.Dear Leo,we are very sorry that you had a negative experience at our restaurant. This is usually not the case. We do not want to search for excuses, but just apologize for the inconvenience and promise that the next time, we will do it better.Thank you and best regards!

This is a really great Italian place in the centre of Aachen. The menu is relatively small, but the resultant food is excellent. Service is friendly and the ambiance is good too. There are only a few tables, so booking is essential.

We were there last November, just wanted to try some different from kebap cuisine. The service is immaculate, the owners are very pleasant people and the Polish food there is extremely delicious.We haven't tried anything else from their extensive menu, however they have pasta, kebap and few other dishes.The prices are perfectly fine. Today for 3 beers, 2x6 Pierogi and 1 plate of 4 Placki we paid 32 EUR.I totally recommend this place!

The restaurant located in an old missionary serves a small menu with easy going meals and easy going service. Very cheap and in accordance with the meal. Not too fancy, but good to go. We had the local special "Zuur vlees" which was alright. The restaurant closes at 8 PM!!! So be in time.

If you're the type that likes 'old fashioned German food' eg schnitzel with pommes and vegetables, and furniture that hasn't been replaced since the early '80, then you might want to consider. We were here for a birthday last year which is the only reason we stayed... In all honesty, the food wasn't bad. It's just not what we normally eat and like
