Zum goldenen Einhorn

About

Zum Goldenen Einhorn is Aachen’s oldest restaurant, housed in a 14th‑century building that has been lovingly restored and converted into a culinary gem. Guests step into a historical setting that blends classic German architecture—stone walls, original wood paneling and a hand‑carved door by local sculptor Christian Schieren—with a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The interior is complemented by a terrace that offers a picturesque view of the Aachen Town Hall and is open from March 1 to October 31, providing a perfect al‑fresco dining experience. The menu showcases authentic German cuisine crafted by master chef Dieter Becker, with specialties that balance traditional flavors and locally sourced ingredients. Prices start around €3, making it an affordable choice for both casual diners and those interested in regional gastronomy. The restaurant’s friendly service, combined with its historic charm, has earned it regular recommendations from platforms such as TripAdvisor. With a capacity of 84 people indoors and 48 on the terrace, the restaurant can accommodate families, couples and history enthusiasts alike, although table reservations are made over the phone and during peak season the terrace can get crowded.
