Interesting thing about this place is that everything is made to order. So if you're in a hurry or have a large group, this place is probably not for you. Thankfully, our group, which consisted of my mother, my sister, and my brother, were not in a rush. My sister opted for the pizza, my brother for the tuna salad, and my mother and I wanted pasta. I will say that the pasta prep seemed to take a little longer than usual, as my sister and brother had already started on their meals prior to my mother and I getting ours. However, good things do come to those who wait, because my Carbonara was out of this world!! The decor of this place is very homely and comfortable. Their pay system is also interesting, as they give you a proximity card to log your items, then take up to the cashier near the front when you're done. All in all, a great experience in a foreign country...nothing like getting good Italian food in a German city!

We enjoyed the outdoor seating and had a really lovely waitress who spoke perfect English, which was super helpful. The second time was in Munich I believe. The wait staff was not anywhere near as friendly or helpful, but the burgers were still delicious. We enjoyed the lemonades they had- fresh and unique flavors. There's a huge variety of burgers to choose from. My friend is vegetarian, so if he has several options to choose from that means a place has a large selection. I probably won't be back that way anytime soon, but it's a great place to crash on your travels and enjoy a filling burger before continuing on your journey!

The staff was pleasant and I liked all the fake trees placed all over the restaurant. I had the Birkenwald burger (mushrooms & chive sauce) which I highly recommend if you like chives or sour cream and onion flavor! 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 greatly enjoyed my meal here on a sunny Saturday evening…read more My friend and I were in need of sustenance and fluids after wandering the hauptstrasse in old town Heidelberg. We had seen this place with its menu posted outside earlier in the day and had decided to seek it out again for a break. The menu (entirely in German) was simple and straight-forward. They focused on burgers and pizzas, with enough options to please any eater. Both my friend and I ordered veggie burgers and I got sweet potato fries as my side. The burger was great. I love a veggie patty and this one was good. It was blended nicely together and did not completely fall apart as you ate it. The extra veggies on the patty also added nicely to the burger. As for my sweet potato fries, they were good but under-seasoned. I wanted to add salt to them, but there were no salt shakers to be seen in the establishment. My friend seemed to enjoy her regular fries a great deal. The restaurant was clean and cool compared to the hot summer day. It had a modern, hipster design with lots of bench seats and small tables. There was also wifi for patrons. My only complaint (besides the fries) was some comments made from the workers while we were there. They could tell we were tourists (given the English) and politely asked where we were from. When I said America, one of them tried to make a Trump joke (which is a sore spot for me and not the first time someone has tried to bring this name up while I have been in Germany). They also kept correcting my German (especially after I told them where I was from). At first, I appreciated it as I am trying to improve, but after a while just felt rude and nit-picky. These interactions just left me feeling uneasy and made me happy to leave when we did.

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!

Located in a super touristy spot this gem is run by real Heidelbergers who are super witty, funny and helpful with food choices. We had their homemade lemonade which was just the right amount of sweet and refreshing and gorgeous burgers with chips. ALL burgers are available as a veggo option featuring not your run-off-the-mill veggie patty but a portobello mushroom Desserts are also top notch and super rich. I think you get the idea: I love this place and will bring all my friends here when they come to Heidelberg.
