The story
André’s 1726 in Bochum brings a focused approach to German comfort food, guided by owner André. He built the service around passion, love, and quality. The team treats guest expectations as a daily standard rather than a marketing goal. This steady commitment recently earned the kitchen two spoons in the 2026 Schlemmer Atlas.
The grill remains the central tool here. Chefs dedicate their shifts to perfectly seared steaks, crispy schnitzel, and whole grilled fish. For those seeking hearty German cooking, the grill delivers consistent results. Midday guests access a rotating lunch menu on Wednesdays and Fridays.
Visitors step into a historic Fachwerkhaus where exposed beams frame a nostalgic dining room. A compact terrace extends the seating during warmer months. The traditional German kitchen adapts easily to birthday gatherings or wedding receptions. André still welcomes travelers personally when he is on site.
