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.

I've gone to a fair amount of Thai restaurants, including one in Camden, Maine called Long Grain that is near and dear to my heart. But this one takes the cake. I'm no expert on Thai cuisine, nor have I even been to Thailand or truly scoured the Thai cuisine available in America, but this is the best thai food I've ever had. That PAD THAI. Our table was collectively moaning with every bite. This was the true standout dish; everyone agreed it was the best they'd had. The red curry and green curry (one with chicken, one with beef) were also both EXCELLENT. And for appetizers, we did a sampler where the chefs surprise you for €12/person, which was fun and also incredible. I really mean it. This place is goated. So so so good. Can't overstate how much I loved this spot. Like other reviewers said, definitely make a reservation in advance, as it can get packed even on weeknights. We made one the night-of as soon as the place opened, over the phone, and had no issues though.

I loved the simple and modern decoration and setting at this place. When we walked in there is no table available however the lobby must half full but rest of empty tables had name marked on a small wooden board. After a few minutes of checking, we were told if we could finish meal in one hour we could take that table. We happily took the chance and ordered very quickly. Shared appetizers of chicken satay and tofu spring roll. Both are really tasty and especially chicken satay which we ordered second of it. I ordered beef noodle soup which is probably the best I have tried in Thai place. Broth was pretty tasty. Beef was cooked just right. Little too much noodles but I could not hold it off and finished it all. Other friends got green curry which must be good as they finished those all quickly. Service were pretty quick and attentive. Beer options were not too many.. Definitely will go back before the end of this trip.
