Gutenberg - Karlsruhe

Traditional German food and atmosphere, beers and wine. Food was OK but nothing special. Variety of beers and wines. Tasty salads, good steak, but spaetzle was a disappointment. Friendly but slow staff.

Even though it was a Tuesday night, the place was full and we were glad we had reserved a table. Rustic, Bavarian-style pub with the kind of food you would expect here: Schnitzel, Maultaschen, steaks, wurstsalat but also specials on the board including lamb chops, vegetarian curry and tafelspitz (braised beef with horseradish sauce). The salads were colourful, a variety of fresh ingredients and a good dressing. The steak was excellent as were the schnitzel and the cordon bleu (schnitzel stuffed with ham and cheese). The only drawback were the spätzle - German soft egg noodles - that were obviously out of a packet. Not what you expect in this kind of restaurant.

The setting is nice, traditional in front room and modern in the rear. The food was good German average. The service was poor: it took ages for the waiter to take orders, the beer waited for 10 - 15 minutes on the counter and then the waiter thanked us that we told him it was ours because he had not known anymore for whom it was (instead of replacing it with a fresh one...) and finally it took 30 minutes for the food to come. Even then the waiter did not apologize but pointed out that a beefsteak took longer (why, one wonders - for the unfreezing...?) Well, maybe you're luckier with the service and can enjoy better.

Wandered in here on a whim. Found okay food at okay prices. The waffles looked good all decorated up. Don't be in a hurry, it took some time to get our breakfast.

I visited this neighborhood restaurant with a colleague from my local office. The service was very good, as well as the food. I visited during ASpargel (asparagus) season and had a delicious apsaparagus dish with ham and melted cheese on top. The waitress was very friendly and nice. The food was very good too. This restaurant is off the beaten path, in a neighborhood setting, across from a small park. We sat outside, despite possible rain showers coming. They didn't come, so we had a good time.Food is traditional Badisch. I will probably some again, if I'm nearby.
