"that was a surprise. the location is in ratings hoesel, away from the beaten track and really only accessible by car. parking is easy as soon as you find the parking behind the restaurant, past the stalls. the weather was a little colder, so we sat inside. we had reserved ourselves through open table and have entered a table with a view of the (indoor reitarena. started with a beer (old beer of uerige, on the registercard! and all of us chose the 3 curs menu, appetizer cut roast beef, main course was a choise of lachs or huhn. both were excellent, well paired with a glass white wine. was apricot tea, which was not as excellent as the rest of the meal. service was perfect, personal and friendly."

"We were there for lunch. Without a reservation we had to go to the winter garden, but it was not crowdy, all ok. My wife and I received menu cards with differnet content, honestly, I couldnt see aperitifs, open wines and other things as the pages were gone! Ok changing my menu with my wife, we could order: gamberi alio olio, noodles, gnocchi with tomato and tiramisu, accompoanied wby a VW and some red wine. The VW was extraordinary. The same judgement for the gamberis, it is óne of my standard dishes and this is currently one of the best I know! The gnocchi were also good and the Tiramisu was a fantastic ending of a good lunch. The spagetii alio olio were good, but not that extraordinary, a bit more spicy peperoncini would help, but maybe this is a question for the chef. Nice location, downtown Kettwig, not cheap, but worth the money."

"Wir waren nun zum dritten Ma(h)l hier und sind schlichtweg begeistert. Dass von freundlichen Mitarbeitern servierte Essen schmeckt ausgezeichnet und die reichlichen Portionen sind fair bepreist. Auf Wunsch erhalten Senioren auch kleinere Portionen zu vergünstigten Kursen. Säle für geschlossene Gesellschaften gibt es ebenso wie einen riesigen Parkplatz.Das Restaurant ist bei Anrainern sehr beliebt, deshalb lohnt es, zu reservieren."

"this restaurant has clearly the ambitious ones to count among the fine restaurants in the larger düsseldorfer area. for example, it participated in this year's tour de menu competition, although I don't know how well they achieved. our booking was for four people around...7 clock. the restaurant was about half full when we arrived. it took a while until we could offer drinks. when we did not decide to have the waiter 's recommended pink champagne, he seemed to lose interest in us, it took about 30 more minutes to get some water a little wee. eating was very good when it came. the menu is not extensive, with about 5 or 6 meals offered for each cure. this would mean that the elections are changed quite often. the prices seemed right for this type of high-quality eating. while she was clearing dishes, the waitress spilled some drops of oily salat sauce on the clothes of a dame in our group. although she was quite depoor, there was no offer of a free coffee or a digestion case in compensation. summing up, quite a delightful restaurant experience on most. good eating, but some rooms for growth in service for guests."

"Aufgrund der hohen Bewertung, haben wir zum ersten Mal den Bonner Hof besucht. Der Emfang war sehr freundlich, das Ambiente aber eher mittelmäßig - wer es mag am Tisch in schumriger Beleuchtung die Speisen zu sich zu nehmen, mag es OK sein. Für uns leider viel zu dunkel. Die Speisekarte gab nicht besonders her, die offenen Weine mittelmäßig. Der kleine Gruß aus der Küche war schmackhaft, aber nicht besonders. Die Vorspeise, Gambas im kochenden Zustand in Gemüsebrühe mit Öl kam unerwartet schnell, bevor wir mit dem Gruß aus der Küche fertig waren. Zu dem hätte es eine Erklärung zu der sehr heißen, noch kochenden Vorspeise bedarft. Als Hauptspeise wurden Schweinebäckchen und Argentinisches Rumpsteak bestellt. Als Beilage gab es Meersalzkartöffelchen welche man mit Sicherheit wesentlich appetitlicher hinbekommen kann, der Spinat allerdings war ok was auch eigentlich keine Kunst ist.Die Sausen entsprachen keiner Profiküche, auffälligstes Merkmal war Salz.Auch die Fleischzubereitung sollte man nochmal verbessern. Wir waren letztendlich so enttäusch, das jedes Interesse am Dessert verloren war. Fazit, wir verstehen nicht das ein mittelmäßiges Restaurant eine so hohe Bewertung mit Anspruch auf gehobene Küche hat. Leider können wir dieses Restaurant für eine gehobene Küche nicht weiter empfehlen. Eventuell nutzen sie diese Kritik, als Anlass den jetzigen Zustand zu verbessern."
