Ratskeller Oldenburg

Eight of us ranging from a 78 year-old to a baby dined here. Everybody was happy with the range of food that was served, the beer and the wines. For us (British) it was an intriguing taste of typical German food and culture.

In Northern Germany many of the old world German traditions have been replaced, however, if you are looking for authenticity and great food, this is the place. It's a lovely old building with all the German charm you can hope for. The food is very good, especially the steaks. The menu varies with whatever is in season, so go more than once.

Although fully booked on a Saturday night, we were still allocated a table with plenty of time to eat and enjoy our meal. Good choise on the menu, good Service, all at a reasonable pricec,.

Made a reservation in June and we eagerly awaited our visit for five months. We were not disappointed. The food was fantastic, eaten & served in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. We informed the restaurant that we spoke no German in advance and English menus greeted us...along with two waitresses...(Daniela & Natalie)...who spoke English and were very patient with me...(I have a Liverpudlian accent which must have made understanding me quite difficult)...the food was plentiful, well cooked & exceptionally tasty...80 Euros for 2 x three course meals and eight drinks was...(I thought)...excellent value...well done to everybody there...

The restaurant is open from 11:30 to 2:30 for lunch, and 5:30 to 10:00 for dinner. Looks cute but no food.
