Maternus - Königswinter

Restaurant Maternus was established in and is located in the centre of Bad Godesberg. The name is linked to the Maternus family and has no relation with the century Roman soldier Maternus who, having become a deserter under the reign of Commodus, lead...an armed revolt known as the ‘Revolt of Maternus’. The restaurant offers dinner and welcomes guests of all ages. Good German food defines its character. Service is correct, very friendly and helpful. Furnishings and decoration provide an atmosphere. We came on a weekday for dinner and the restaurant was relatively busy, a good sign. All regulations are correctly followed. We went for Schnitzel with Bratkartoffeln, accompanied with a large glass of beer. The food was tasty and well presented. We recommend restaurant Maternus to anyone who seeks tasty German food and a good glass of beer in a relaxed ambiance.

Lovely Viennese schnitzel here tonight. Yes, that means it is veal. Great taste and the small salad as well with fried potatoes. All very delicious. And then there was dessert. It was the final item on the back page, the warm apple strudel. Fantastic with...ice cream and a vanilla bourbon sauce. Perfect end to a great meal on a cold evening. Price is right for the portions. And I topped it off town Kölsch as well. Thanks for a lovely meal.

When we stayed in Bonn recently, we didn't realise that our hotel (the excellent Villa Godesberg) was so far out of town.......so we searched on Google for a nearby restaurant and Maternus popped up. We really liked it: the courtyard out the back is pretty...and romantic. The food was excellent traditional dishes very well and freshly prepared. The service was very good too. We both had Schnitzel, one with potato salad and one with fried potatoes. Very tasty indeed! A nice touch was that there is a herb garden growing in the courtyard and the chefs came out to pick the herbs freshly.

Excellent Coq au Riesling, dishes served were very, very good, and the desserts equally excellent. Good wine. Polite and friendly service. I will surely go to Maternus again.

I visited this restaurant with friends for the second year in a row after participating in a local running event. The waiting staff created a great rapport with us even in a second language (most of our party were English), making us feel welcome and...really looking after us. The food was excellent. I had the Sauerbraten, which was sublime and a fantastic dessert too. Great food, great service and reasonably priced. What more can you ask for? I'm sure we will be back next year.
