Awesome Authentic German Restaurant. Great selection of draughts & beers. Offers a variety of german food and not a typical german restaurant that dedicates 3 pages of their menu to schnitzel varieties. Good service and one of the best Eisbeins we have had in a long time. A must try.
Very friendly staff, great beer selection. Had a bowl of sausages for starters, they're amazing. The eisbein was cooked perfectly. Definitely recommend
Always good to find a restaurant that does what it says on the label. I do not think German food will ever be pretty but they do know a thing or two about taste and Roter Hahn delivers.
Good, friendly service (great job Jeff), a super selection of beer, an attentive manager and great tasting, simple food is what we had. The cheese pitabread was yummy as a starter. The selection of German sausage I had was great with an interesting range of chutneys. The wife had the lamb shank which was lovely, tasty and moist although the sides could do with a bit more seasoning. The ample portions did not allow for desert but we grabbed a few goodies from the deli for later.
Overall a great experience and we will be back.
What a wonderful experience! We arrived around 15:00 on Friday and we were instantly awed by the aesthetic of the place, especially the servers in their lederhosen.
We were fortunate to have ntate Jeff as our waiter for both our visits - what a lovely, knowledgeable and accommodating fellow. We enjoyed some lovely Hefe Weiss and Dunkel beer, and I can definitely recommend the sangria. Even though it was packed for our Saturday night dinner, the service was not lacking or slow at all.
Food-wise, their sausages are absolutely delicious. Accompanied by various artisan breads and homemade relishes, you absolutely cannot go wrong by having the warm platter. The rosti, sauerkraut, green beans and spinach are amazing as well. Definitely have the apfelstrudel with cream for dessert, along with a cup of Americano.
Absolutely exceptional!
My top place In Clarens. I went in there for just a drink and spent the whole afternoon sampling all different German ciders and beers, eating delicious Germain food with the best view of Clarens. Actually facing the mountains versus most of the inner towns restaurants that face the square with just cars all over the place. What made this extra special was the music. What a laugh! Can’t wait to go back and this is where I will go first as I arrive and last when I leave ! Start and leave Clarens on highs. Thanks Roter Hahn you are the gem of Clarens
Roter Hahn is by far my favourite restaurant in Clarens.
I haven’t been able to decide on my favourite meal on the menu. I make a point of it to order something different every time we go and I have loved every meal.
If you are just peckish, I recommend ordering one of their platters to share. Sitting on the deck sipping ciders, sharing nibbles and admiring the views is a fantastic way to appreciate life and the tranquility of Clarens.
LOVE! LOVE the deli. Usually 3/4 of our bill
Atmosphere was awesome!! We had the most friendly and helpful waiters! We love the new decor. Food is wonderful. Love the shop that you can buy things to take home. Real food for great prices! Loved all the drinks!!
Oh my word! This day was everything. The setting was perfect, the staff were not only competent but also very entertaining. I had the Eisbein, let me tell you: it was cooked perfectly. I absolutely recommend Roger Hahn.
Good restaurant. Loved the location and views!!!
Good food and good atmosphere. Had the pork combo main meal.nice variety of German beer! Even a small German deli.
Authentic German cuisine. Roter Hahn was not busy when we were there. The service was excellent without being intrusive. Extensive menu of drinks and food to choose from. Impressive view of the valley and mountain makes for a relaxing lunch.
Dining at Roter Hahn was a delightful experience. The deliciousness of the food, served promptly, truly captured the authentic essence of German cuisine. The beers were exceptional, complementing the hearty flavors perfectly. The staff's knowledge of the menu added to the overall enjoyment. For wine enthusiasts, the dedicated wine room offered a diverse selection starting at R95 per bottle, each one clearly categorized. This attention to detail made choosing the perfect wine a breeze. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the culinary journey at Roter Hahn left us not only satisfied but impressed with the genuine taste of Germany. A recommendable spot for those seeking a taste of German authenticity in Clarens!
When thinking of German cuisine we South Africans and also most of the work think of pork, or dishes with pork! The day we went to Roter Hahn was one of the best days. We had a lot beers and decided to stay to have something to eat, was this a good choice to make. We decided to share a Eisbein and the woods was delicious! The waiters friendly and always gave good advise on which beers to drink and also which food would complement your choice!
Love Roter Hahn. We always go there whenever we are in Clarens. The restaurant with the best vibe, food, and beer 🍺. My nr 1 recommendation for when visiting Clarens
The lady who made our booking the day before was awesome
Gave excellent service and advice
We also bought
Alot from the pantry after dinner
I had the lamb shank
It was delicious
Thank you
Lovely, unexpected restaurant with the best range of authentic, imported German beers I've seen in South Africa. Many also unusually available as draught, e. g. Erdinger Weiss and Dunkel beers. I had the eisbein, recommended!
We had a awesome time at Roter Hahn. The staff were very friendly and helpful, they explained the different types of food. There is a lot of different kinds of beers from all over Europe and local. Lovely place with a great atmosphere. The place was busy but dispite that the service was quick and the staff even had time for a little chat which was nice. The view of the mountains was nice if you sit outside. Centrally located in Clarence. Would definitely recommend this place if you want to experience something else than the usual food served everywhere else. Definitely going back there when visiting Clarence again. Great!
I actually expected more of locally brewed beers, but this restaurant offers variety of imported beer from all over the world. Food was very nice (each person has to order a plate, fyi), big portion. Liked curry wurst a lot. Now is pretty low season, you can enjoy quiet ambiance.
A must see....
Had nice German food..
Just needs more shaded amberlas on the deck.
Some of their beers are pricey but well worth it.
Make sure you try their cherry 🍒 🍻 beers on tap.
Lovely German restaurant, the food is just amazing, and the cherry beer... brilliant.
Really loved our time here. Food is delicious, service is great. Atmosphere will be great when there is more customers, but on a Monday afternoon, it is quiet. We didn't mind.
I have to point out 1 exceptional service from Onward which had nothing to do with our time in the restaurant. We were in a small accident outside Clarens a few minutes after we left. We phoned in to ask if they could direct us to someone who can assist us yo fix our car. Onward not only tried to help, but he drove to where we were to check if we were ok. That is exceptional care!! Thank you Onward.
