Delicious food, beer, excellent service, and a very pleasant ambiance!…read more My fiancé had a plate of very tender beef and potatoes. I had one of the weekly specials, Rösti (hash browns) with spinach and mushrooms drizzled in garlic sauce. It was scrumptious! The waitress were extremely nice! I would definitely recommend this place if you're in Freiburg!

Loooooove this place!!! Since 2012, anytime I've been in the area, I visit this place. Franco, the…read moreowner is an awesome guy. Hard working and friendly. His staff, wonderful too. Feels like a family. The food is super. You just can't go wrong with any of it. Very large portions!!!Nice selection of wines and don't forget the Ouzo and Metaxa! Gets a big crowd towards the weekend/evenings. Reservations aren't a bad idea. Worth it. The place is nicely decorated but no need to dress fancy, although it's kinda fun to do so ;) Enjoy!

This review deals with the Colombi restaurant…read more The Colombi restaurant is probably Freiburg's best dining venue, and it has defended its Michelin star for years now. The restaurant is located on the ground floor of the Colombi hotel and is decorated in the traditional Southern German style. It divides into several different smaller, interconnected rooms that are named after their distinctive decoration items ("Falkenstube", "Arvenstube", "Thomastube"). The place itself is quite spacious, and especially in winter times, having a spot next to one of the tile stoves makes the experience all the more rememberable). Food is inspired by the French cuisine, and the kitchen often uses traditional regional Badenese ingredients and serves them in a more refined way. The menu contains lunchtime offers priced between 30 and 50 EUR, and the tasting menu comes to about 100 EUR. The wine list is quite extensive and contains a great variety of German wines (Freiburg itself is located in the Kaiserstuhl wine region). Personnel is sometimes a bit uptight, and the local staff seems to have been told to hide their local accent which seems a bit pretentious (like wearing dinner suits for serving at lunchtime). However, they are always very friendly and knowledgeable. I have been to the Colombi restaurant on many occasions during the last years and have never been disappointed. If you like a refined approach to local Southern German cuisine, then this is a place I would highly recommend. Although you will also find the classic dishes that are expected to be served in Michelin-starred restaurants (foie gras, dishes using exotic fish or lobster, beef fillet), this restaurant is at its best when using local produce. And it is even great value for money !

Quite possibly the worst dining experience. I don't know what happened to the chef that cooked for…read moreall the people giving praises to this place (was he out today?) but most hospital cafeterias have way better food than this horror show. Salad was totally inedible with so much vinegar poured on that you would cry. Steak was some rubbery substance with noodles. They never asked how I wanted steak done (!) and it would have been medium, judging by color, except it didn't really taste like meat. Shockingly bad

Brennessel is a student favorite in Freiburg, primarily for its EUR1.80 spaghetti bolognese,…read moreavailable at that price from 6pm to 7:30pm (it's EUR3.50 otherwise). The other dishes aren't expensive, but they don't provide great value, either. The pork chop can be somewhat overcooked and only a little cheaper than at other places. Service can be halfway decent sometimes, at other times inattentive and even a little rude. The beer on tap is, unfortunately, Ganter's various forms of slough-water, though they also have Guinness (strangely, you can't get a whole pint, though). I've never tried the Guinness here. They also serve some other beers out of bottles. It's not a bad place for a student restaurant/bar, but it's not a place to look for unless you want to spend almost nothing on a Bolognese. That's what brings most people, and that's all I'd recommend them for.

Come here for the cheap food and to try it once. If you like the atmosphere and the food, you will…read morealways come again because it's incredibly cheap.
