Am Knipp - Aachen

A great place where also the locals eat and drink, it’s busy so make a reservation and you will have a lovely experience

We went there on a Saturday in January and it was full. So, it is definitely recommendable to reserve beforehand. Do not expect a gastronomic sensation, but tasty traditional German food. The value for money is very good

We booked this restaurant well in advance of our visit to Aachen as it looked very authentic and had great reviews. On arrival we were warmly greeted by the very tall barman who I think was probably the ownermanager? We were soon seated by our...waitress and both decided on schnitzels with potatoes and a stein of lovely lager. The waitress then bought us out gorgeous bowls of salad which apparently you get with whatever you order......bonus! Our schnitzels were both amazing and melt in your mouth, not at all dry as they can be in some restaurants as were the potatoes. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated and the ambience is very nice and relaxed. After an all too brief minutes or so we left feeling we had had a typical German meal in a proper German restaurant where the locals go not just not just one set up for tourists. Danke

We went there without reservation on a Friday night. It was full. After a few minutes of waiting, we were seated. so I would recommend you make a reservation. My husband is German, they communicated in German, but as I understand, the waiting staff was...very friendly and helpful. And fast too! I got schnitzel and my husband got steak. We shared garlic shrimp appetizer. They were all so delicious! And the portions were big for European standards. We had a few Kolsch with our meals and printen liquor as digestive. I would definitely recommend this place.

I go to Aachen once a year and stay for four days. For the past six years I have made sure that one dinner was taken at Am Knipp. This is one of the last..
