Reuters House - Aachen

I was in Aachen on a Sunday night staying at the brand new Hampton Hilton just outside town and was looking for a decent restaurant open on a Sunday night. I checked the Michelin guide to see which restaurants were open and then Trip Advisor to see what people recommended. I went on the websites for both places to look at the menus. I had thought about going to the Haus am See but Reuters House was very close to my hotel so I decided to check it out first and after seeing the nice setting and studying the menu I decided to stay there.You can sit outside as it's on a pedestrian street but I chose to sit just inside. I wanted to sit on the banquette and the restaurant manager Mr Creutz kindly gave me a table for four although I was alone so I didn't dare complain about the glass of Sekt being completely flat.I chose the 5 course menu for €55 which I found to be excellent value for money. All the dishes were beautifully presented and delcious. I started with the beef tartar then had the gazpacho which was tasty but I found the portion to be really tiny. Another ladle would probably have satisfied me.I then had the gnocchi which would have been much better without the blood sausage. After that I had the sea bass which was excellent and then I had a mixture of mini desserts which were very good.I had a bottle of white wine and was impressed by the wine prices which were extremely reasonable - 24 euro for a bottle of Gavi di Gavi.So, everything was great but...the Greek waiter needs to get intimate with a bar of soap, if possible in his shower, and buy a good anti-perspirant, one whiff of his armpits was enough to completely put me off my dinner.And Mr Creutz, I hope you will offer me a glass of Sekt the next time I come to make up for the flat one I had.Otherwise, I loved this restaurant, would give it a star and will definitely come back.

Great food with very fair prices. I would recommend it to everyone! Very calm and comfortable atmosphere and great service!

Living around the corner from Aachen with a multitude of restaurants at your disposal, eating at Reuters House was absolutely lovely. The weather permitted enjoying a well thought out meal on the street side tables. Service, wine and food were outstanding.

Reuters, a name know to the international ommunity as a press agency. This place used to be the lunch/dining hangout for the press people. If the food was that delicious back then than those folks were truly lucky one can fully understand why Reuters became so famous. It is by far my best place ever visited In Germany. It is my humble opinion that tehy score as high (if not higher) than soem Michelin restaurants visited so far.

My wife and I made a reservation at Reuters House based on a recommendation from a friend. It was to celebrate my birthday with a nice meal. I ordered the Rack of Lamb, My wife had the Gilthead Fish. The Lamb was perfect! My wife enjoyed the fish. All the sides we excellently prepared and the meal presentation was spot on for an upscale restaurant. We ordered a bottle of Italian Red wine and it was wonderful! We shared a Creme Brulee for dessert which was excellent. The wait staff was very friendly, courteous and professional. This is by far one of the most memorable dining experience we have had is some time. Absolutely a perfect evening!
