Most Popular European food in Heidelberg, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany
Discover Restaurants offering the best European food in Heidelberg, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany. Home to the oldest university in Germany, Heidelberg was hit hard during 17th-century wars and rebuilt in the 18th century with baroque buildings. For a pleasant walk, stroll through the historic city center's Gothic streets. Be sure to take in Heidelberg Castle, the symbolic heart of the city; Alte Brucke, a beautiful 18th-century bridge; and the Student Jail. Built as long ago as the 16th century, it was used to keep mischievous students off the streets for three days to a month at a time. And they say Penn State is the number-one party school!

We had some really good pasta for lunch here. Both dishes were fresh and delicious, the staff was friendly and the pricing not cheap but not too expensive either. Unfortunately the waiting time for the food was really long and there's plain bread, without butter or oil and balsamico served before the food.

We wanted somewhere 'ordinary' in the best sense, took a Number 5 tram from the centre and weren't the least disappointed. In fact, this was one of the nicest meals of our ten-day holiday. Succulent steak for me, tasty chicken noodles for my wife, with superb side-salads. German spirits to end with. All served by an enthusiastic and helpful waiter who seemed absolutely delighted to welcome two English visitors. We walked back to the centre along quiet streets.

Had roast beef here and it is not what I expected. Itâs 2 slices of beef cooked in some salty gravy. The red cabbage was good. We didnât enjoy the food hence decided not to get dessert. Location was great, situated just across the Necktar River by the old bridge.

Reviewed By Eric M
Went here with the family for my son's 21st birthday. Our reservation initially placed us next to a table with loud people with their chairs pushed back, leaving no room, so the servers suggested another table with more room. Drink orders were taken promptly, and delivered promptly, and food orders then taken at the same time. The wait for the food was a bit longer than expected, but the ambience was good. The restaurant is big enough for about 40 tables in 3 large rooms, plus (in summer) outdoor seating as well. In winter it was cozy, though there was a somewhat annoying DJ playing rather loud and intrusive music.When the food came, everyone at our table was more than satisfied with the quality. The steaks were tender and flavorful, including the tuna steak.During the meal, the service was friendly and attentive, and we had no hesitation leaving a generous tip.

Traditional fine-dining restaurant with hotel rooms located directly in the center of the old town of Heidelberg. You will find the ideal place to sit back, relax and enjoy!

I had dinner with friends on a Monday during the week before Christmas. The place was packed and almost too noisy. The food was a good interpretation of traditional German fare. Overall the place is pricey, but the quality was worth it (we paid 240 Euros for four, one dish each with drinks and a bottle of wine). What I did not like was that the servers had an attitude and were rather inefficient. For example, it took two reminders for us to finally get the wine we ordered. Really?

The Qube restaurant has pretentions to be a serious restaurant but, alas, fails to deliver. The décor is contemporary and pleasant and the food is perfectly decent, but the evening service staff is not only incompetent but downright rude. I can tolerate disorganized service if the servers are pleasant, but there is no excuse for inefficiency coupled with arrogance. I was staying at the Qube Hotel with colleagues and we saw that the restaurant was half empty so it seemed easiest to dine there instead of trying to find another place in the neighborhood. When it took forever to get menus, then to have our order taken, then simply to be served wine which was sitting on the bar behind us, we offered to leave if we were not welcome. One of the servers berated us for expecting to be served promptly when we did not have a reservation! Several nights later, at a dinner there for over 40 people (for a conference), another server told someone allergic to arugula that she could "just scrape it off" her starter. We complained and received an apology in that instance, but this is type of behavior is simply unprofessional and unacceptable. I'm sure there are better and certainly more enjoyable restaurants in Heidelberg - Das Bootshaus down the street, for example, has good, unpretentious food served with a smile. Save your money and your time!

I first had a selection of starters and some other tasters from the buffet, which were all delicious. I found that plate (paid by weight) to be rather expensive, though.Afterwards, I had one of the weekâs main dishes, which was pasta with broccoli, mangold and celery/almond pesto. Unfortunately, I could neither smell celery nor almond in it. Also, the whole dish was a bit bland for my taste â it would definitely have benefited from some spices.Overall, Iâd recommend this place but see room for improvement.

A real surprise for me was this elegant restaurant in the heart of the old city. From the entance to the dishes everything is nice. The way you are greated and the way the food is presented. Most of the dishes are very good. As for foie gras I would say there a lot to be done! Please work on it and clients will be fully satisfied. Overall the place is very good! Reservations recommended.

Schnitzelbank did not disappoint! The best German meal that we had during our trip through the country. I'm a huge foodie so I'm always looking for the best restaurant or hole-in-the-wall spots. The restaurant served some of the best popular German dishes. Everything that we ordered was cooked perfectly and delicious. Already planning to go back just to eat here!
