Top 10 European food in Kassel, Hesse, Germany
Discover Restaurants offering the best European food in Kassel, Hesse, Germany. Dating from at least the 10th century, today Kassel is most famous internationally as the home of Documenta, an every-five-years exhibition of modern and contemporary art. In the late 17th century Kassel received a large influx of Huguenot refugees from France. During the 1800s, it became the capital of the Brothers Grimm's Fairy Tale Route. In 1943, the city was virtually razed by British bombers, leaving few old sights, but the 18th-century Wilhelmshöhe Castle overlooking the city remains.

I ate here with coworkers on my last two trips to Kassel and highly recommend it. The food and atmosphere are good and they offer English menus. The servers are helpful and accommodating of English-speakers. Keep in mind that this is not a speedy restaurant. Order a drink and relax. I recommend the pretzels and spagel soup as an appetizer! The dinner portions are huge, so you will not go hungry. The outdoor seating is wonderful, and indoor is nice as well.

This place has a terrific terrace so you can enjoy the summer, have a beer and ask for a sausage from the grill. The wiener schnitzel was also delicious. Prices are reasonable and servers are friendly and speak English

The food was excellent, very close to the original Greek taste (considering that each Greek restaurant in Germany and everywhere in the world has to match a bit to the taste of the people in the country and the ingredients are not original Greek)! I have tried fish, which was very fresh and nicely prepared. Appetizers and deserts were great as well. I have ordered Loukoumades, which is actually a very common and simple desert in Greece, but I was glad to eat Loukoumades as they should actually taste! :-)The staff was very friendly, always with a smile, while the whole mood in the restaurant was great!I will return for sure!

Not centrally located but definitely worth the tour. Staff was extremely attentive, and all greeted us cordially when we left. Made us feel at home! Prices most reasonable, great souvlaki and grilled fish. Very stylish food in a family owned restaurant. Too bad we only stay one day in Kassel, or else we'd go there again tomorrow.

Often, a restaurant experience is very good in many ways but one thing prevents it from becoming totally satisfying. (e.g. sterile decor, music too loud, disappointing food, inattentive service) This is certainly NOT the case at Humboldt 1a. Yes, the restaurant's address IS actually 1A, but so is its accolade and well deserved. My wife and I were there yesterday evening and came home with the warm glow of a perfect dining experience. The building itself is a good start, a remnant of Kassel's pre-war central European charm, set in a quiet side street and just a three minute walk from the town hall. The restaurant is very tastefully appointed, modern yet warm and friendly. Our three courses were all excellent but the top prize went to the lamb I was served (Lammnüsschen) -- easily the most tender and succulent I have ever experienced. There were some expensive wines on the list but our choice of the Rocca Maura 2015 for â¬20 perfectly complimented our meat dishes. Last but not least -- superb service! Our two waiters were professional, attentive, friendly and humorous to just the right degree. Three-course meal for two with prosecco and wine - â¬120.00 Worth every cent!

We ate here as a couple before visiting the opera. The menu was very rich and the dishes were extremely delicious (while also being huge). The staff was very friendly, nice and charming but also absolutely unobtusive and in no way superficial. The place itself is really beatiful and the atmospere is cozy without being too kitschy. We will definitely come here again; and next time we will also bring the kids because it seemed also very good for families.

Luckily we had made a reservation for dinner because we were told that this restaurant is pretty crowded in weekends. We know why.The food is tasty and they serve really good wines. Prices are reasonable and the service is good. We love the atmosphere in this restaurant and I could speak to the owner of this restaurant. What a nice and friendly lady, with lots of passion for the restaurant.Unfortunately we are only in that region of Germany once a year, but next year we love to come back again. See you then.

The best food in Kassel! The restaurant is situated in an old majestic building with unique spirit across the castle and the park with centuries-old trees. The service was absolutely perfect and the selection of dishes, wine, beer and desserts was simply perfect! We enjoyed ourselves immensely

What an amazing experience.A beautiful building, super friendly staff and customers creating such an amazing atmosphere, to enjoy food that did not disappoint, sensational from start to finish , you can taste the young chef Sven wolfs passion. I've eaten in a lot of Michelin restaurants and this is one of my new favourites. A little cheaper than some of the British ones too, leaving a little more to spend on the lovely wine selection.Highly highly recommend.
