The Hungarian style goulash was delicious. Schnitzel tasted freshly fried. Dessert selection was excellent. Glühwein just tasted very very very sweet. Would definitely go back

German decor and menu. Started with hot spiced wine and coffee cocktails. Potato soup was tasty, but the potato cakes were the star. Crunchy on the outside and creamy inside. Entree's were solid - Jager schnitzel with an extra side of mushroom sauce and Chef's Special- meatballs, dessert & coffee. Spaetzle side was really filling - couldn't eat it all. Variety of dessert options - we did apple streudel and hazelnut cake. Good but not great. They make reservations on the half and full hours. We arrived early for a 6:30p and were seated early. By 7p, the place was full. It has a lot german decor and feels cozy. I saw beer boot glasses behind the bar and think this would be a good place for an oktoberfest experience.

Great food and pretty good prices. Good selection of German/European beers, drinks, desserts, etc. The schnitzel and the goulash are very good. I love the atmosphere with all the German paintings, crests, boat models. Everything we have tried here has been very good. Good portions, we always leave full.

Stumbled upon this AMAZING restaurant! Staff is very friendly and accommodating. Cucumber salad, fresh and tasty, Bavarian pretzel-authentic!, trout very well received, brie was wonderful. Split cake for dessert, light and flavorful. All the food was fresh and yummy!

Fit to its name, Old Europe feels almost out of place in modern DC. The place is old-fashioned (in a good way), with lovely German decor reminiscent of a hunting lodge. And the food is just perfect for winter! I tried the Glühwein, Hungarian Goulash and the Bavarian platter, to check a bit of everything - and everything was great. Had to take some of it to go. Service was great, even as the place started to get busy. Parking can be a bit awkward, but that's DC for ya. Lovely place.

We went to Old Europe when we were seeking a German restaurant specifically because they seemed friendly to kids, and in fact they were. All the dishes were delicious, and the service was prompt and friendly. Clearly very loyal to their staff. No problem accommodating a group of 10 on a Friday night. A member of our party who lived in Germany said the dishes were authentic. Another member of our party had an allergy to one of the unlisted parts of a dish, and they were able to replace the dish without the allergen free of charge. No automatically applied service charge
