I can tell you it was quite the adventure for three Americans to wonder aimlessly through the streets of Bernkastel to find this restaurant. We were close to turning back, but once we found it, we had the BEST meal of our trip to Germany in the quaint, family run restaurant. The daughter is the waitress and she was very friendly and did her best to explain the menu and make our dinner enjoyable. We started with a crispy leaf salad and local goat cheese with an olive tapenade which was served in an herbal puff bun. The goat cheese was creamy yet light and paired perfectly with the puff pastry. I had the roasted chicken breast, served with chanterelle mushrooms pan roasted with hunks of bacon. They also served their specialty potatoes on the side. I absolutely devoured this dish. It was the epitome of perfection from the extremely tender chicken to the meaty mushrooms. If you are lucky enough to be there during chanterelle season, I would suggest any item on the menu which focuses on them. I've never had anything like it outside of Germany and the amount of mushrooms they give you is astounding considering in the states, chanterelles typically go for well over $40 a pound. My mom ordered fettuccine in a butter sauce, topped with roasted chicken and a large amount of shaved black truffle. This too was amazing and the simplicity of the butter sauce on the pasta worked well with the complex flavors of the truffle. My father ordered the wild boar sausage with creamy sauerkraut and local mustard potatoes. The boar sausage wasn't overly gamy, but was a nice departure from all the more traditional German sausages we had been eating. I begged my parents to go back here for the next several nights after our first dinner, it was that good. If I had to pick one restaurant to go to in Germany, this would be it. From the service to the location to the usage of seasonal ingredients, you can't top Graacher Tor. read more

The wood beams and decor match the regional menu. The service was excellent. When we arrived one of the staff members brought my 9 month old nephew a few toy animals just as he was getting fussy. The waitress flattered me by offering me a german menu despite my bad German. And when my 3 month daughter got fussy, they offered to take back my plate and keep it warm while I walked her around. The food was also good although a tad pricey. It was chanterelle season and they had a whole page of appropriate dishes. I ordered a Prix Fixe including a chanterelle cream soup, boar sausage and espresso affogato. All the food was good, as earlier mentioned it was nice and warm as they held it until I was ready. The boar sausage came with a nice grainy mustard, and an interesting regional grated and baked potato dish. Tasty food, good service, traditional atmosphere. Can't go wrong. read more

My husband and I enjoyed 'date night' at Graacher Tor. We mad reservations via e-mail and the communication was excellent with staff. We enjoyed our 3 course dinner for a reasonable price. Service was quick and polite. The menu was available in English and German. It seems the menu changes seasonally and I look forward to going again to try a new menu. The ambiance of the restaurant is quiet and comfortable. There is only a small dining area but it is quite lovely and decorated in a cozy German country vibe. There were several families with children there. The flavors of the food were really quite excellent. I would say that the menu traditional German flare but with a posh twist. The food is hearty, the quantity is plentiful, and the presentation is beautiful. We will return! read more
