Zum Alten Bahnhof - Zell (Mosel)

Visited here with friends two years ago and again this year. Fantastic local wine and great food. Schnitzel was great and the "Wild plate" was a unique treat.

We ate here last night, (two adults, and two boys 14 years and 11 years). We had to wait an hour and ten mins for the starter. The staff did tell us there would be a "bit of a wait but keine problemem". There was plenty to keep us entertained. The restaurant is railway themed obviously with authentic sounding steam trains noises. Its right beside the river with lots of passing river traffic. Its good for people watching too! The staff keep you topped up with delicios local wines and Bitburger beers. When the food finally arrived it was fantastic. We fell on the food like ravenous wolves by the time the mains arrived an hour and forty five after arriving.A shared platter of salami, smoked boar, and home made haslet, salad and eggs. My wife had a lovely fresh salad in a delicious dressing which the boys kept dipping their bread into. The mains included schnitzels in a lovely sauce, peppercorn or mushroom. Two big pieces on each portion. The 14 year old had the best pick of the menu with the beef which was thick and tender with gravy to die for. The kids menu was prounounced as "pretty good" by our 11 year old. The bill was around €90, much of which was for drinks. A bottle of table water cost €4, so I would stick to the local wine at the same price. In summary I would go back in a heartbeat as long as I wasnt in a hurry.

Located in the former small railway station with a garden overlooking the Moselle, this is a very reasonable place to have a simple but tasty lunch and to sample the local wine at very reasonable prices.

Great evening meal and lovely wine grown by the family, even bought some to take home. Only criticism is that they could provide an English translated menu having said this the waiter was very helpful

This place saved the day. We had no luck going from place to place in Zell, and were refused almost everywhere. No food left, no free table, too late, whatever. We ended up it this old train station, that was not our first choice, but we have been really positively surprised. Nice atmosphere, friendly service, good wine list and good price. Please don't waste your time and go there FIRST !
