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!

We sat at a small table, it did feel like we were in an area primarily for tourists, but we are so it was fine. I had three small beers which were great, very refreshing. We also enjoyed a nice lunch, my sausage was good but the potatoes and cabbage were really the star of the show. So yummy! We did not get the local beer treatment here where they replace your beer when it's half empty, which was probably a good thing. I could have drank it all day.

Wow! The food was delicious in this place. I went for the seasonal (or monthly?) special and I was…read morepleasantly surprised. After some bread and butter, the first course was sashimi salmon with a very nice, fresh salad (and not a small portion either)! We moved on to the main dish, which was a super soft and smooth slow braised beef with amazing gravy! For desert (please check the picture) there was ice cream with warm plums. Okay that was just the one experience of my meal. But it tells me this restaurant does good food! It is situated on a hill, in a former church or abbey. From the terrace you have a beautiful view on the village below. Inside there is no view (literally), probably because it's an abbey and how they were build? The lack of windows is not claustrophobic to me, the interior is very bright and it's pretty spacious (for a small room with approx. 10 tables).
