Wir schätzen die deftige Kurpfälzer und Odenwälder Küche genauso, wie die exotisch-fruchtige Kap-Küche Südafrikas oder die Küche Floridas und Kaliforniens. Die entsprechende Weinbegleitung findet sich im Übersee-Sortiment von Christians Weinwelt oder unter unseren ausgesuchten, heimischen und europäischen Tropfen.

He was shocked that it was my husband's 50th birthday. We ordered the Apfel Strudel for dessert. He brought it with a lit tea light candle on the plate. Very cute. The food was amazing. I ordered the mushroom soup and potato pancakes. I almost ordered a second soup - it was so good. My husband's schnitzel was excellent. It was just what we wanted. Low-key, good and relaxing. People watching is top notch. Great beer selections and full bar for mixed drinks. I ordered Gluwein as I was trying to warm up. Loved it.

After reading previous reviews I was nervous I wouldn't be able to translate the menu. Turns out they have English menus and a lovely waitress who will help you figure out what you want. I had the stuffed cabbage, the tomato soup, and a strudel for dessert. All 3 were the best I've ever had. You won't go wrong with any choice here. Incredible place.

10 out of 10 stars!…read more Maria was our server and she was welcoming, engaging, friendly and efficient. She made our time at this restaurant even that *more special. I need to add that Maria was working all of the tables by herself and slayed it! Sudpfanne was so good that we dined here twice in one day, and brought a friend! For lunch Mr. Wonderful enjoyed the sausage plate with potatoes and sauerkraut. I had the fried bread dumplings, mushroom gravy, with sauerkraut. We were happily fulfilled. For dinner Mr. Wonderful ordered the schnitzel, our friend ordered the goulash, and I was still full from lunch - so I only had the potato soup. All three of us left, full and happy. This restaurant is not touristy. They seem to cater to locals and folks who know where to go! They offer a warm, cozy and welcoming environment. They also have a beautiful beer garden in the back when weather permits.

We ordered an array of items from pork and red cabbage to venison. Most of us ordered the Heidelberger beer. No one was smoking, which is a plus in a Heidelberg restaurant. There seems to be smoking everywhere in this town. All of us were amply pleased with the food, service and ambiance. We were seated near the door, but if you get a chance, check out the other rooms. One has a piano-man. Somewhere there are lockers for the steins of Red Ox Regulars. This is a university pub with a 300-year-old history. There were all age groups present (except no kids that I saw). The place is decked out in steins, hunting regalia, and photos of past regulars. In Heidleberg? GO HERE FOR DINNER!
