In the dark alleyways of Darmstadt sits a tiny restaurant that happens to be open on Sunday nights…read more We did not know what to expect but we wanted something that tasted like "home." The awesome part is that you get to choose your own adventure with the ingredients. I'm a surf and turf type of gal and loved the Mongolian style shaved lamb - yum! I also loved the assortment of noodles and was brave trying something green. I would love to visit again.

It is a buffet of 50 small bins of uncooked foods you can select to put in your bowl and have it weighed and you choose your own broth and they cook it for you. Once it is cooked they bring it to your table and you can add a smaller selection of toppings. They also serve a wide selection of bubble teas. This place is small but was packed. True comfort food for all. My bowl was 18 euros including a bottle of ice tea. I noticed many got a large bowl and shared it with friends. Great for those with allergies or food restrictions. Even better that they accept credit cards as many places around here only accept Germany based credit cards.

YUM! I am allllll about soup, so when I walked by this place in Heidelberg (just off the…read moreHauptstrasse) on a recent trip, I knew I had to eat there. Came back the next day and loaded up a bowlful of one of the daily specials. I got the small bowl and it was PLENTY, I can't even imagine what a large would have looked like! I loved that you could choose which toppings you wanted -- fun! The shop next door shares ownership, so you can choose which place to sit in and order from both. Definitely will be back!

I was so glad to stumble on Souper while exploring Frankfurt! Here, you get your choice from 6…read moresoups and it comes with bread and Gouda to garnish for €5. The restaurant is small and only has standing bars inside, but I was lucky enough to visit on a beautiful day and got to take advantage of the outdoor seating and a table (note: there are only two tables outside! Plenty of chairs, though). If you are looking for something fancy, this isn't the place. If you are looking for a delicious and hearty soup - this is it! Though the menu is in German, the lady working there showed me each of the soups and told me what they were in English. She was so nice and helpful!! They had 3 vegetarian and 3 meat soups. I opted for a broth based curry chicken with vegetables like carrot and cauliflower. It was lightly spicy- as someone who is is very sensitive to spice, it was the perfect amount of heat! The flavors were spot on and it was just hearty enough to be a filling lunch without weighing me down for the day.

Note that : it's a small place. They have seats outside but if you go during winter it's a standing restaurant; ok for a quick bite but not the place if you want to sit down for lunch time

The restaurant is small and pleasant; it used to have unusual seating, but has normalized now. Its location is right next to a large Alnatura, a German natural foods chain (sort of like a Whole Foods in the US). If you're in transit through Mainz, reckon on about 15 minutes to walk there from the main train station.

The staff is friendly specifically Christoph with the red bun. The menu is extensive and features diner style food. It is really cheap and tastes delicious. I definitely love the homey atmosphere.

Will review in English (sorry! :( my German isn't good yet)…read more I really enjoyed breakfast at this restaurant. The food was fresh and tasted great! Service staff was very friendly and attentive. The decor is also very interesting, lots to see around you - like a mix of 50s diner and Art nouveau style decor. So this is a highly recommended place if you're ever in Darmstadt. Great food, atmosphere, and service :) 4/5 but I take out one star because the menu/Speisekarte was very difficult to read. It took us so long just to figure out what to eat. Perhaps that's just part of the "café chaos" theme? Otherwise, everything about this place is great!!!
