Nice place; good atmosphere. Food tasty. Not everything is available that's on the menu (drinks). Montag is Ruhetag. Remember when booking!

I come here every time I’m in Heidelberg because it is a classic. Great German food and beer. Bring your appetite because portions are large. And the atmosphere is wonderful - you never know who you’ll be seated next to - but that’s part of the fun.
3. Vinothek Restaurant Oskar

The restaurant and vinotheque Oskar appears to have a good reputation in the Heidelberg F&B scene, so we decided to drop in for dinner, as they only open in the evenings from 1800 hours onwards (closed Sundays).
Guests can opt for a menu, or order from an à la carte menu limited to seasonal ingredients, and a few dishes prepared Mediterranean style.
The service is generally friendly, but the attitude of the some staff occasionally borders on "laissez-faire".
We weren't sure if we wanted the Silvaner or Grauburgunder (both were house wines) to accompany our meal, so we requested a small sip of each. Oskar being a vinotheque, we figured it was straightforward request (just pour a sip from each open bottle). Our waiter had to "check with someone higher up", and eventually returned with two 0.1L glasses of only the Silvaner, which was not what we asked for. What about the Grauburgunder?? It took us only one sip to discover that the Silvaner was too dry, and went with the Grauburgunder, which is generally a "safe" choice.
For appetizers, we ordered a warm Pulpo salad, and the goat cheese gratin on a bed of greens. We decided on fish for our main course. There were two types listed on the menu, but as Oskar's supplier didn't deliver, they could only offer us one type - the "Dorade".
We were engrossed in conversation, so we took longer than usual to finish our appetizers (which were tasty). The staff attempted twice to remove our plates, and finally insisted because our main course was ready and getting cold (fair enough).
I was happy with how my Dorade was prepared - the skin was crunchy, and the filet rimmed with a crispy border, while the insides were tender and succulent.
Foodwise, Oskar is a strong 4-star - kudos to the chefs! However, for the prices they are charging, there was one too many awkward moments in their service, hence only 3 points overall.

Maybe all places in Europe have better salads than the US - the ingredients just seem to taste more organic and fresh. But, we had a great lite dinner here during our 2-day stay in Heidelberg. Rocket salad was very good - sundried tomatoes really hit the spot. Complimentary bread and olive oil. Iced tea was good but expensive (5 E) vs surrounding areas we visited. Caters to a younger crowd, it seems.

Reviewed By bcsanders - Calgary, Canada
I ate twice in this restaurant within three days and was delighted with the offerings. They provide fixed hot meals and also a delicious large buffet. Vegan items are explicitly marked The food is fresh, healthy, nutritious, tasty and presented well. The offerings at the buffet differed the two times I went, and I appreciated having new items to try. The restaurant is quite popular and quite busy so slow at times to get a table or to pay at the counter during busy periods. Staff are friendly and polite. Great selection of desserts.

The fixed menus in this hotel restaurant are the key to value (Americans are not used to this option--but it is a real money saver). Decor is simple, but elegant. Service was very good. Food was exceptional. Highly recommend. There is a beautiful courtyard that must be a fantastic place to have a drink when the weather is a bit warmer.

The place is cozy. They have several vegetarian items on the menu (which is difficult in a Greek restaurant) and even the non-vegetarians in my group preferred to have that.
I couldn't take due to gluten-sensitivity but then I had the grilled aubergines. A little under-cooked for my taste. Salad was nice, french-fries were good. If you let them know that someone in the group has a birthday, the staff does fun stuff to celebrate it :-).
8. Heid's

Reviewed By faeimmmario - Heidelberg, Germany
It was a weekday during summer holidays, and we felt like dining out. The kids wanted pizza, but my husband and I felt like having something "proper", so we decided to give Heid’s in Heidelberg a try. We figured it being relatively early on a weekday, we wouldn’t need a reservation. All tables in the outdoor dining area were already allocated, but we got a decent table indoors. The menu features a good variety of dishes - steaks, fish & seafood, tapas, soups, salads, pasta, pizza, vegetarian - there is something for everyone. The kids got their pizza (fresh from a wood oven), and we enjoyed our steaks (perfectly-cooked on a charcoal grill). A simple scoop of ice cream rounded the meal off nicely.
As it was a weeknight and we were driving, we decided to order our wines by the glass. Initially, we wanted to order a Rioja, but Alexander, our server, suggested we go for either the Argentinian Malbec or the French Chimères as he thought the Rioja would be overwhelmed by our steaks. He was right - the Chimères complemented our steaks perfectly - thumbs up Alexander!
There is a small play area for children to amuse themselves, but we didn’t have to wait long before our pizza and steaks were brought out. Service is generally prompt, food is good and the atmosphere is cozy. The only issue we note is parking - there is only space for around 15 cars on the premises, additional parking is available about 250 meters down the road. So either go early, or take public transport.
We are happy with our first meal at Heid’s, and we plan to return (with an appetite) for the "Chuleton" next! Be sure to reserve a table if you plan to eat there.

Our dinners on the Leimen town square were very good with excellent service with the staff being attentive and friendly. There were three of us and we each had a different entree.
We would not hesitate to visit the Leimener Brauhous again and would highly recommend it to anyone wishing to eat and relax for the evening.
May not be suitable for children unless your eating outside.

... but you should not be discouraged because the service is comparatively quick. Recommended by a local student, we tried Gelato Go and were not disappointed. I had Cheesecake and Amarena and I liked it and the family seemed to enjoy it as well.
