    Snitzel
    Lisa G.

    This place is small and packed - so make reservations!! We didn't but decided to wait - we found a spot at a table with 5 other people - that didn't know each other - this is common I think in Germany but it was a fun experience to add to the journey. We met some lovely people lol. In our tiny elbow to elbow booth. Anyway - tried schnitzel for the first time - it was okay. I can check that off... the sauerkraut was yummy, but the cabbage was way different than I was expecting. It was actually creamy... not my cup of tea. Portions are huge - sharable for sure. But the service and the restaurant was fun and charming. I would go back and try a different dish. :)

    This is a tiny dark place inside but it has a great ambiance. There is also outside seating if the weather permits. The schnitzel is good. This is a wine bar but I got a beer which was rather small by German standards. Service was good. I would eat there again.

    Small "classic" German restaurant which gets very busy during tourist season They used to accept reservations but I don't think they do anymore. We showed up when doors opened at 5pm and there were already 10 people waiting. We ended up sharing a table with a nice couple from Nebraska. Schnitzel is top quality. Default version is served with pan fried potatoes. The house special includes creamy spatzle and salad. There's a garlic version which is a little too garlicky for me. The turkey schnitzel comes with a mustard gravy. I didn't try it but the Nebraska folks loved it. For something different and delicious, get the Swabian pork tenderloin. Staff are all very friendly but a bit frenetic. I suppose they need to turn the tables.

    What an incredible experience from start to finish! Comfortable and interesting atmosphere, amazing service, great selection of wines, and absolutely delicious food. The pictures and reviews won't ever capture it. It's one of the places you have to experience and enjoy yourself. Will be back soon and definitely recommend to others.

    Alley that the restaurant hides in.

    Had the cordon bleu schnitzel with muenster cheese and spatzel, both delicious. The salads seemed overdressed but were very tasty. Note that this is a wine bar so soda options are limited. Lovely little "hole in the wall" place that I would easily recommend. Great ambiance and vibes, feels very non-touristy but they had an English menu. The service was excellent. They were both very attentive and friendly. It was a very nice way to top off our evening in Heidelburg.

    Great restaurant in old town. We showed up for an early dinner around 5 probably and glad we did because we took the last available table outside and then they were completely booked the entire night inside and the outside is on a first come first served basis and there were tons of people trying to eat here. I had the turkey schnitzel which isn't traditional but I don't eat pork so I'm glad they had this option. They also have a non breaded option. The food was huge so we could've shared one plate. Service was super friendly and pretty quick.

    First meal in Germany had to be schnitzel. Now that the trip is over, I can say this was easily one of the best meals we had the whole week! I enjoyed: Dry Reisling (tap) Pepper schnitzel (which came with salad) Portions are huge - we could have split one dish easily (although not sad we didn't). We ate outside, but the interior looks warm and fun for a low-lit evening bar adventure. Would definitely return if we find ourselves back in Heidelberg.

    Garlic schnitzel!

    Awesome experience the schnitzel is great even better we had a YouTuber next to us taking videos the entire time. Maybe I'll be famous.. great beir, excellent wait staff, an all around great experience. May go back for seconds later today!!

    Tiny, quaint and rustic, Schnitzelbank hits the spot! I went for the three course, (created myself). Started with creamy tomato soup, which had chunks of tomatoes - really good! I ordered the special which was schnitzel with peppercorn sauce. It came with the starter salad which was delicious. We had a nice creamy Italian dressing and it was the most vegetables I got on my trip! Lastly, I got the schnitzel finished with the pepper corn sauce which was a great heart stopper. Great place!

    Great stop for dinner! Come early as it's get full quickly! Tight little space lit by dim lights and candles on the table! Cool indoor space that you feel like you stepped into history! Outdoor space exist in the front and back too! So what do you expect for dinner here? Schnitzel of course! They have all types except chicken! Very large plates! As food is so good, most customers clean their plate! Grab a drink too to enjoy your dinner! Communal tables exist: so you may meet some friends too at dinner! Great company had at my table with individuals for Germany! I'll surely be back for more tastings....

    Amazing schnitzel and good service.

    We loved this place! Tucked in on a little side street, we sat outside on a summer evening, although the inside must be wonderful during the winter, as it's warm, cozy and inviting. The garlic schnitz was the sh*t, in the best possible way. It was flavorful, light and yummy. And they also give you a yummy side salad to go with it. If you are in Heidelberg, go!

    Amazing food. Everything delicious. The schnitzels are out of this world. Just be careful as each order is very large and comes with 2 schnitzel. The bartender and the servers are so nice. Highly recommended. Kitchen closes at 9.

    Wienerschnitzel and  sausage dinners. Delicious!

    On the way out a party of two was told "no seats." The garlic schnitzel is worth stinky breath.

    Easily the best meal of my time in Germany. I had originally set my sights on the nearby…read moreSchnitzelbank, but scheduling didn't work out. In hindsight, I'm glad it didn't. Walking in felt like stepping back in time. I doubt much has changed about this place in decades, and that's entirely a compliment. We were seated near a window and the ambiance was everything you'd want, cozy, warm, and genuinely inviting. I loved the feel of it. Our server was very kind. Her English was limited, but she was gracious and patient as I attempted to speak German, and was generous enough to tell me I did well. It added to the charm of the whole experience. Now, the food. The potatoes that came with the schnitzel were the best German potatoes I've ever had. The schnitzel itself was delicious, exactly what you'd hope for. The cheese spaetzle was a highlight as well, rich and satisfying. Plan on sharing it. The one miss was the pizza my sister-in-law ordered, which was fine but felt out of place. Stick to the German classics and you won't be disappointed. Would love to return if I ever make it back to Heidelberg.

They check as appropriate and get what you need quickly. Our dinner was really good. We did have reservations. We even enjoyed some non-alcoholic beer. We had apple strudel for dessert, which was also really good. We were staying at the hotel, so just had to go upstairs after dinner. For the hotel - the only difficulty was the check in. We weren't sure where to go to check in. So we ended up asking the wait staff. We walked through the restaurant with our luggage to the the check in desk. Our room was comfortable and homey. The door required an old fashioned key to open. You can't beat the location being right by the old bridge.

    My go-to every time I'm in Heidelberg. This place is under-rated at anything below 5 stars. I've…read morebeen here alone, on dates, with colleagues and even with my parents - all were equally impressed by the wine, the food and the ambiance. The wines by the glass are fantastic - my favourite is the Montepulciano - and they've a full selection in bottles. It's a wine bar so maybe that's expected; where they really excel is with the food. When ordering a main course, you're first treated to a flavourful amuse bouche. The steaks are top-notch, and the other mains (I've tried most of them) are large (sometimes too large), scrumptious and well-presented. The starters really stand out here too. My favourite is the Antipasto Italiano (great for sharing), while the salads are excellent too. Another favourite is the great-value, brine-cured mountain of Italian olives for €5.50. On ordering food you'll also be served freshly baked Italian bread, high quality olive oil with a slightly sharp bite, and sea salt. This is such a tasty combination that I find it hard to resist filling up on oil-dipped bread before the food even arrives! Finally, I love the friendly staff, who recognise and greet me every time, even though I live thousands on a different continent. Service is attentive and friendly by European standards; it's not the US so don't expect to be annoyed every 2 minutes by someone sniffing for tips and filling your water glass and asking how everything is. This restaurant is open late and takes credit cards - perfect for the jetlagged international traveller. They're located in Weststadt, right beside most of Heidelberg's international hotels. So you've no excuse not to stop by when in town.
