After a little research, on our one night in Heidelberg we decided to travel a bit off the…read moretourist-path to find a nice meal. We made the walk from the Altstadt to Lutherstrasse (just over the new bridge) and found this little restaurant. The decor is pretty standard, but the place has loads of character. The menu is hand written - I'm not sure I could have read it if it was all in English, let alone with my meagre German, but our waitress spoke English and was very helpful. We decided to start off with a Flammenkuchen (an Alsatian tarte flambe - think very, very thin crust flatbread with cream, onions, meat and cheese) which was the best one we had on our trip. I opted for the asparagus special - a pound of white asparagus with hollandaise sauce, potatoes and a side of pork schnitzel. The boy had pork cutlets in a calvados sauce which came with Bratkartoffeln (fried potatoes) and salad. We both ordered a riesling with dinner and it was delightful. Both meals were excellent and this was the best price for an asparagus meal that we saw in Heidelberg, Cologne, Dusseldorf or Hamburg. The only downside to our visit was that although our server was very friendly she was not terribly attentive. However, this is kind of normal in Germany so I can't really knock them for it. Not normal in Germany: they take credit cards! Rejoice! If you're in Heidelberg I highly recommend this restaurant.

A must-stop for serious coffee lovers. Perfectly located in the heart of Heidelberg, Coffee Nerd…read morewas a standout experience. My coffee-snob husband absolutely loved it--which says everything. The coffee was expertly made, clearly artisan, and deeply thoughtful in flavor. We left with an excellent bag of beans and a new appreciation for just how good well-crafted coffee can be.

Something that tends to set Europe apart from the states is coffee culture. While you'll find great…read morelittle cafes sprinkled around European cities they aren't quite the same as the cafes in the US. In my opinion "coffee shops" as we tend to think of them here in the states have more of a coffee first focus, where there is a lot of emphasis on how the beans are ground, brewed, and enjoyed. The difference in Europe is that a European "cafe" tends to be more about sitting down to have a coffee and maybe enjoy a pastry or some bread. It's more of a place to visit and take in the ambiance or read a book and less of a place to seek out the best coffee. Just my opinion, but I find cafes in general in Europe to be really hit or miss on coffee flavor and quality. All of that being said, when visiting Heidelberg this past spring I woke up and in need of a good cup of coffee started searching Yelp for options. Enter Coffee Nerd. It fit my criteria as it had a good rating and was walkable from my hotel. I convinced my sister to get dressed and out the door we went. It was easy enough to find and is fairly centrally located - not too far from the historic part of town, but definitely more city center and likely caters more to locals than tourists. When we walked in the door it was like walking back into the USA. It had the clean lines and minimalist design of any hip coffee house I'd find back home, which oddly enough was somewhat comforting. The menu was very simple, but that was okay as all I really wanted was some cold brew. They did have cold brew, but being Europe they were not as accustomed to folks taking it to go so they put it in a hot to-go cup for me which kind of made me chuckle, but it tasted right and I was really grateful for the stop. Why four and not five stars? Pretty much because it really lacked options and I would have liked to have seen maybe a few house made syrups to choose from, and a more robust pastry case. All in all, if I had been staying in Heidelberg more days I'm sure this spot would have stayed in my rotation.
