A very small wine bar with limited but excellent food options. Large parties were lined up at least…read more30 minutes before opening. We stopped by at opening (18H) and asked if we could make a reservation for a bit later as we wanted to explore the city a bit more. The owner with limited English told us no reservations, just come back. We did just that an hour later and he was able to seat the two of us. The owner suggested a great Riesling. We struggled a bit with the menu in German since the options variety boards and not the typical entrees we had gotten used to so the owner sent out the cook to help us. We ordered a cheese variety plate and a plate with some meat varieties, cheese, and bread. Both included a few pickles and tomatoes. They were exactly the type of light fare we were looking for that night and what we expected at a wine bar. The restaurant was loaded with antique character and fit the image of what you would want a hidden gem winestub in an old city like Cochem to look and feel like. The same larger groups we saw waiting for the opening were still enjoying their meals and more wine which was easy to understand. We started with a glass each, but enjoyed it so much we got a bottle. Highly recommend Alte Gutsschanke!

I was in Germany and needed to have large beers, schnitzels, bratwursts and all other things…read morestereotypes of Germany. This place delivers on all of those fronts. Having already had brats just earlier in the evening, my friend pointed me to the long list of schnitzel options in the menu. I opted for the schnitzel cordon bleu because why not mix two cultures into one?! And with the factory a few kilometers down the road in Bitburg had to wash the meal down with a rather large glass of Bitburger beer. The beer was top notch. The meal was a bit overly salted including the fries that would've been fine without so much sodium. The flavor was ok but not the most memorable. It was kind of the equivalent to dining in any chain restaurant in America.
