Hüftgold — Restaurant in Monschau

A quaint little cafe away from the touristy market of Monschau but not without tourists. It is on the same row as the Monschau Tourist Centre.

The cafe is decorated with African memorabilias. Map of the African continent, knick knacks of Safari animals. A wild guess would be that the owner of the place left his/her heart in Africa :) Adds more charm to the cosy town of Monschau.

The menu is in German and the waitress cannot speak English fluently but she was very attentive and helpful. Service was little bit slow because there was a lack of staff and the place was pretty crowded as well. The menu is extensive so if wild boars and everything else wild is your thing, this would be the place for you to dine.

My friend ordered the wild plate and I kept it simple & safe and went with the burger, was happy but I was disappointed with mine. It wasn't anything to rave about that's why I am giving it lower stars. With such high ratings of this place, I expected everything on the menu to be superb.

They told him that they have already ordered and I pointed out that we were ready to order, instead of taking our order, he asked us again to wait (I did not understand how he was ready to take the order of one table and not from ours). We waited for another 10 minutes and we called him several times, and always refused to take our order then we decided to go. All other customers were being served and it was clear that they were not interested in serving us.We were the only no caucasians customers which made us suspicious of the reason we...

The place has a cosy and alternative vibe. They offer different vegan dishes. The dishes are plated in a homemade style, I think the vegetarian burger and the aubergine were homemade. Unfortunately I found a peace of plastic in my dish, the waiter said sorry, but was not sure how to handle the situation so he asked so do you want me to make a new one? It didn’t sound very inviting, so I said no it’s ok. I would have appreciated if he offered us a drink on the house and/or discount on the dish. A tip on my behalf to improve the Customer service. The coffee was very expensive...
