The story
Postwagen Zum Ratskeller at Krämerstr. 2 in Aachen's old town serves home cooking with Öcher specialties, and the Schlemmer Atlas awarded it 2.5 Kochlöffel in 2026. The restaurant occupies historic architecture on the Markt, directly beside the town hall.
The building is an old wooden house dating from 1675, with a historic tavern on the lower level. Vaulted ceilings and cozy seating nooks define the rooms. The Schlemmer Atlas describes a modern ambiance inside those historic walls.
A large terrace looks across the Katschhof toward Aachen Cathedral. The restaurant also hosts weddings and private celebrations.
The menu centers on hearty classics and original Öcher dishes, from starter to dessert. The Schlemmer Atlas singles out oysters, porcini ravioli and pheasant breast. Guests can also come just for a beer.
