I rarely review grocery stores but the staff at the cheese and butcher shop were accommodating. I ordered truffle salami, a swiss type proscuttio, habanero salami and some other yummy stuff. Well worth a walk! They speak basic English.

I love EDEKA. It's an upscale grocery store chain (they're everywhere!) with more of the foods I'm…read moreused to seeing in the U.S., but an abundance of excellent quality local and gourmet specialties (i.e., meats, cheeses, yogurts, etc.) as well. This is the daddy of all EDEKAs...large and well-stocked with a beautiful presentation. The fresh produce is beautiful here...and, there's plenty of organic. There's a butcher and deli counter with a huge variety of meats, fish, cheeses, etc. Need to clean your toilet? Socks? Beer (of course...you're in Germany for crying out loud)? They'll have it. And, candy...a hell of a lot of candy. Wow, Germans like candy...which makes me like Germans just that much more. There's even a small Chibo section. If we're looking for something unique, we come to EDEKA. We do not (usually), however, get the staples (milk, non-gourmet cheese and deli meats, etc.) here because it's pricier than the local discount grocery stores. For example...we bought pine nuts here for $3.69 and found them the next day at the local discount grocery store for $1.69. That warrants some shopping planning. I still love EDEKA. Especially this one...

The Market offers Fresh Fruits, Drinks, Snacks, And a huge selection of Beer from the area! This little market has low prices, and just about anything you might need while staying in Rothenburg. Highly recommended while staying in the old town.

So thankful to find a larger grocery chain prior to leaving Germany…read more The food and brand selection was wonderful. The prices were great even though we did not have the frequent buyer rewards card. The grocery was strangely laid out so if it is your first time you will need to go up and down each aisle. Example the pasta is in the back center which is nowhere near the sauces. Great lighting in the store. I absolutely love going in grocery stores when traveling. We were fortunate to have driven so we were able to stock up on German favorites and drinks. This is not an option when flying with carry-on. After trying several items I only wish I had known and would purchased more. The staff that we encountered were friendly.
