Top 10 Mediterranean food in Heidelberg, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany
Best Mediterranean restaurants nearby. Discover the best Mediterranean food in Heidelberg. View Menus, Photos and Reviews for Mediterranean restaurants near you.. 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!

A very nice small self service Humus place . Also salads and shawarma. Possible to get on a plate or in a pita wrapped. Humus and falafel were great . Service friendly . Portion between 4.5 and 9 Euros, depends on the ingredients.

This place is a hidden gem, a favourite among locals and Uni students. First, let me preface this review, I'm from San Francisco where I spoild, especially because of all the good pizza available in the city. Honestly, until I found Unter Freunden, I experienced culture shock because of all the terrible pizza in Germany. Before Heidelberg, I also lived in Berlin, but while I was there, I had to brace myself for a life without pizza:( One of my worst experiences in Berlin, was when my German friends invited me out for pizza. Suffice to say, I survived, otherwise I couldn't have written this review. Until I met Unter Freunden, I assumed Germans were suffering from some sought of sensory deprivation, because they seemed to enjoy pizza in Berlin. I lived in Heidelberg for over a year, before I discovered this restaurant; all I can say is: "better late than never". Apparently, pizza isn't dead in Germany, thank the heavens. In fact, this restaurant makes pizza that is as good as anything that I have eaten in San Francisco or any other city in the USA. This restaurant has renewed my faith in the human race, and, I am no longer suffering from culture shock, either.I'll give you a short low down regarding "Unter Freunden". First, they cut the pizza into square slices; they do the cutting with giant scissors (one for meat (a red one) and a green handled one for vegetarian pizza. Vegetarians don't have to worry about meat juices getting in their pizza, which is pretty common in all pizza restaurants. They have a great variety of meat pizzas and vegetarianâ ones, as well. They use scissors to cut pieces from big square pizzas, the preparation area looks like a giant checker board made of pizza.They weigh the pizza before you buy, this allows you to order a variety of different pizza slices, talk about choice! And, that's exactly what most people do, unless they stick with their favorites. All their pizza is backed really well, it's got wonderful airy texture.My criticism, is the unusual seating arrangement, many of the tables are small, as if they were made for children. The mismatching seats and tables look like they were all bought in flea market. I suppose, they are going for a "student's apartment" ambiance, it might even be appropriate here in Heidelberg, which is a famous German University town. But, if you are a tall person, it can be a little disconcerting, when all the "grown-up" tables are occupied.Nevertheless, I give this place five stars, and will probably eat there tomorrow. I don't eat pizza anywhere else in Heidelberg.

We arrived early in the evening, and watched as the restaurant gradually filled with a combination of local residents, businessmen and tourists. Quiet, friendly and attentive service bought antipasto misto, and aubergine stuffed with Parma ham and cheese, for starters; followed by spaghetti casa and home made tortellini with ricotta and spinach in a sage and butter sauce - all delicious. This is a good restaurant slightly off the main tourist track, and well worth seeking out.

I arrived at a late summer evening (with temperatures around 29 C.). I got a table out on the street, had good food (salad and pasta of the day) and nice German beer. That was good.

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.

I arrivee 6:15 on a summer evening. 4 outside tables, more inside. Inside looks nice, but outside is cooler.My drink order was taken in less than 5 minutes. The menu had a fairly broad selection of Lebanese (or generically Mediterranean) dishes with chicken, lamb, beef, or vegetarian. My dish--grilled lamb on a spit--was tasty. The wine arrived and the food order was taken in less than another 5 minutes. My waitress was very accommodating about keeping the wine cool while I finish a newly ordered beer.Only a few bad notes: as with many outdoor venues, there was cigarette smoke. Through the window I could hear ugly music indoors (but it was not too loud outside). The grilled meat had a little more gristle than I find acceptable. But on balance, in terms of price/performance, I found it enjoyable.

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!
