Hotel Orphée is an absolute gem in Regensburg and a wonderful change of pace if you're craving…read moresomething beyond the usual Bavarian fare. This is a truly authentic French restaurant, from the menu to the atmosphere. The interior has a perfect French vibe--charming, cozy, and full of character.
When we arrived, the place was crowded, but we got lucky and snagged a table just five minutes after a group of four paid their bill. Seating is fairly close to neighboring tables, but it was still very comfortable and added to the lively, bistro-style ambiance.
The food was excellent across the board--everyone at the table loved their dishes. A special shoutout to the grilled squid, which was sooo good and easily one of the highlights of the meal. Our server was amazing as well: friendly, attentive, and made the experience even better.
If you're in Regensburg and looking for a delicious break from schnitzel (which is still amazing), Hotel Orphée is an easy and enthusiastic recommendation. We'll definitely be back!
