Dean & David is truly s top notch Salad restaurant…read more After seeing that Heidelberg had one, then I had to visit. Dean & David has such a range of healthy, flavourful, and tasty salads, one is unlikely to be disappointed. During this visit I chose the normal sized Chicken Oriental. To be fair, the "normal size" is massive! I struggled to finish it during my quick lunch break. The "small size" is easily sufficient for lunch. The salad was superb! Fruity mango, succulent chicken, generous amount of lettuce, and sherry elder dressing drizzled on top. This restaurant is slightly tucked away on the corner of Poststrasse, but central in the Altstadt, near Galeria Kaufhof, and not too far from the main shopping street Haupstrasse. It offers seating outside on an open terrace.

Schnitzelbank is the highest rated restaurant in Heidelberg, and with just cause…read more We lucked out coming here around 1430 HRS because we just missed the lunch rush and just beat the early dinner crowd. The weather was beautiful for sitting outside. I wish I had gotten our server's name because he was outstanding. Friendly, witty, and willing to help navigate the menu - he made our dining experience even better. We started with a couple of local wines that were amazing - a red and a rosé. Some bread and butter came to our table with our escargot starter and side salad. The bread and starter were delicious. Our snails were hot and garlicky with plenty of juice to sop up. The side salad was also very tasty and fresh. For our mains I went with the Schnitzelbank Platter and my lady went with the Pepper Schnitzel. My platter came with a local delicacy called saumagen, as well as roasted pork, sausage, roasted potatoes, and sauerkraut. The saumagen was the highlight for me. Our server was also excited we got it. It is a local offering consisting of various meats and other items wrapped up in a stomach and served as a loaf-style meat. The pepper schnitzel was also outstanding - the sauce was indeed peppery, but it didn't smother the schnitzel, which was breaded nicely and not dry, as some schnitzels can be. And after all that food, still, an apple strudel. This was so worth it. I don't even like sweets in the USA, but in Europe, they are something else. This was something else. We had a lot of great meals on our trip, but this was probably the best. Not just for the food, but for the overall experience, it's easy to see why this is the shining star in Heidelberg.

A bit away from the tourist crowds, however this cafe was packed with locals and lots of university students. We popped in after the hike up and then down the path into town (great views at the top) after a blog recommendation of the city. The place is small but very cute with a bunch of small tables that can be grouped together (for 4 people), a high to for a bigger group and then some space at the bar on the side of the coffee bar. Over all it feels modern with creative art but still clean. Food ranges from breakfast to lunch. The menu is nice with 5-6 sweeter dishes, 5-6 savory dishes and then some soups and salads. There are a variety of coffee items, a bunch of tasty teas in huge glass mugs, juices and then seasonal drinks. We came for a late lunch and ordered warm drinks, the warm winter shakshuka, the fritters & the Guess Who's Back and some warm drinks! Everything was tasty and fresh. The sauce on the shakshuka was wonderful and had great flavor. The grilled cheese sandwich, Guess Who's Back, was huge, with crunchy bread and yummy caramelized onions and wasn't the typical over-gooey sandwich you usually think of. My fritters were great as a perfect lighter dish, with a side salad and smoked salmon and a great yogurt sauce to bring it together. Drinks were also good and the detox juice and fresh tea stood out. The staff was also very friendly and helpful with descriptions of the menu when you are struggling to choose. Can't say enough about this place and will be making a trip back on my next Heidelberger visit!

I never imagined that one could have such an amazing feast in vegetarian/vegan food in Germany! I…read morearrived in Heidelberg from Schwäbisch land (Stuttgart), where there were only two choices for a vegetarian: Käsespätzle und Maultaschen. And if one is lactose-intolerant, then one can only subsist on Kartoffelsalat :-( This restaurant fed me like I'd never been fed before! There seemed to be endless creations in vegetarian delicacies, both cold and hot, savory and sweet, that covered several long shelves. I would have had at least 3 full plates, if not for the reason that my local friend was paying for lunch - charged by weight - and I didn't want to empty her wallet :-). Weather permitting, there are both indoor and outdoor seating. It's a super popular spot that attracts many diners.

I would have never picked a vegetarian restaurant. But I am very glad I tried it…read more You pick your own seating( as usual in Germany) and to get your food it is buffet style. Once you have put your food you want on your plate you go up to the register and they weigh your plate. Depending on the weight is how much you pay. The service is fast and helpful. It is usually pretty full there, but totally worth going. Even my four year old picky eater found something to eat there.

Pair it with a tasty draft beer and you will indeed have a great experience. I'd be happy to anytime to go to any of their locations! Beware they can get busy because they're that good.

I ordered the pork shank, since it's a traditional dish I really wanted to try. Unfortunately, mine turned out quite dry, and a few locals in the group confirmed that it can be hit-or-miss. That said, the rest of the experience more than made up for it. The service was good and the staff were great, managing our big group smoothly and keeping things friendly. The real highlight was the beer--absolutely delicious, rich, and exactly what you'd hope for from a Brauhaus. Overall, while the pork shank wasn't my favorite, the combination of great staff, lively atmosphere, and excellent beer makes Vetter's a spot I'd recommend, especially if you're in Heidelberg with friends or colleagues.
