We came to the small charming town of Staufen to relax and enjoy Germany. Staufen isn't nearly as…read moreover run with tourists as say Heidelberg. Looking for dinner one night we read the reviews for Alter Simpl. They wrote of a quiet bar with good food - they weren't lying!! I highly recommend you stopping by here for dinner and a drink!! It was so good we came back the next night for drinks. The staff were very kind and gracious. Rinkal is a knowledgeable and kind bartender who can make an EXCELLENT drink! She's the best bartender in Europe! She even gave me a shot of one of Germany's favorite liquors! Daniel, in the kitchen, makes some of the tastiest food you'll eat! I had the corn fed chicken with mashed potatoes - it was a special - and was so so so good! I could eat that every day for the rest of my life. One thing to keep in mind, they don't accept credit cards, it's Euros only. The good news is the prices are very modest and reasonable. So if you're in Staufen, stop by this awesome little place! You won't regret it!!

Saw the Bitburger sign, and decided to visit. This place is a bit off of the main street. Really…read morenice food, and friendly servers too. We ended up eating here twice - and thoroughly enjoyed it both times. By the way, they don't take credit cards. Do yourself a favor and learn a little German before visiting - don't expect everyone to speak English. My wife had a chicken dish that she really liked, and though I don't quite remember what I had either visit, the atmosphere was nice - outdoor tables on a small alleyway let us get a feeling for this small town. Highly recommended.

In short, the ambiance is wonderful, it is a house of mirrors that make the inner two rooms look…read moreimmense. Three of us ordered salads, Pfannkuchen, and venison filets with a potato gratin. All were rated very good to excellent. I loved the venison. The wine is all locally produced for the restaurant, and we enjoyed a trocken grau burgunder and a remarkable red produced by Franz Herbster for the house. I cannot rate the service highly enough. Young waitresses were efficient and professional, and the chefin was remarkably attentive and gracious. We are looking forward to the next visit when we might enjoy the outdoor spaces, which are lovely.
