Food and drink in Monheim’s historic center
Cheers and bon appétit! In the old town of Monheim, you’ll find a wide range of food and drink for every taste and every occasion.
The centerpiece is the Alter Markt (Old Market), where you can sit with friends and family under green treetops in the warmer months, enjoying a view of lovingly restored historic buildings. The surrounding alleys invite you to enjoy the rustic pubs serving Rhineland cuisine or restaurants offering fine dining. And if the weather permits, a beer garden is always a great choice.
Alt and Kölsch beer at the beer equator
What beer do you fancy? Alt or Kölsch? Here, you can get both! That’s because Monheim am Rhein is right on the Rhineland “beer equator” – the line between Düsseldorf (where they prefer the local Alt beer) and Cologne (where Kölsch is the preferred brew). That’s why the Monheim innkeepers serve both types of beer. Because, as we all know, tastes vary and socializing takes top priority, after all.
Biergarten Zur Altstadt
Enjoy life, have great fun and meet great people – you’re guaranteed a great atmosphere here. This beer garden is a meeting place for sociable, tasty and very merry hours, even at lunchtime. Freshly tapped draft beer, a variety of bottled beers, wine, prosecco and soft drinks – plus something hearty from the grill: Polish sausage, “Currywurst” (hot sausage with curried ketchup sauce), and various steaks. Light meals include sweet and savory dishes from the pan, salads and baked potatoes.
