I met Carl the original owner when I was stationed in Gelnhausen back in 1986 with the US Army, unfortunately he was not around for my visit. I used to sit and listen to the stories by the older men in the bar. This hotel bar/restaurant has been around for the longest time and is a meeting place for those who lived "in the day".Situated in the heart of the Gelnhausen Old City, a great launching place to discover the Barbarossa City. One of Europe oldest streets is around the corner as well as the church that towers over the city, built in the 13 century, truly amazing. Take some time and check out the cemeteries, the towers, walled parts of the city still standing and the nooks and crannies of the old city...look at the doors on the houses above the city center and notice how they are only about 5 feet high, gives an idea of how old they are...pure history.If Carl is still around, he can tell you of the hey day and the US Army days, if not some of the guests will have something to say.A great little gem!

I ordered the Schweinnemedallion mit Covadore when visiting Gelnhausen. This food was so good and reminded me of my grandma's (Oma's) home cooking. It came with a side of spaetzel that was perfect. Service was friendly and atmosphere outside was amazing!

I think it is! Great experience here and one of the best meals I had in Germany! (That's splitting hairs though because I had great food for the most part during a 3-week trip)It was probably the best food presentation of any restaurant I went to and similar to how restaurants in Japan take care to pay attention to small details. I love basement restaurants in the "old town" areas of European cities because they always have historic character and this place fits the bill. An ancient basement with great atmosphere. In summer, it was cool and I didn't have to dodge bees, fleas, flies & cigarette smoke so these were all bonuses on top of the delicious, healthy food & atmosphere. Not sure why everyone else prefers to sit outside under those conditions!? Food gets cold quickly too. Sit outside for drinks but for a nice meal, no thanks. The staff recommended a delicious dinner as the menu was in German and I could understand mostly what was being served. The seafood was very fresh tasting and I really enjoyed all of it. Definitely eat here for your 1 nice meal out when in Gelnhausen. The other places can't really compare as they seemed more casual.

Hotel' main restaurant is located in the 'old' or historical part of the hotel. Very cosy, warm atmosphere.Not a very big menu selection, but food is good and portions large. Prices are OK.Nice wine selection, rather expensive (compared to food prices).Service was OK (restaurant was full, we had to wait to place orders and refills - a couple of hands short...). Kitchen could easily handle the demands.We'll return.Dear Guest,thank you for your assessment and your needed time.We regret the long waiting period in our restaurant during your stay.We would be pleased to welcome you in our hotel again.Best regardsMiriam DebesReception

Location, town square Alzenau. Friendly Bavarian restaurant, with fine home cooking, excellent menu for meat eaters, 7/8 vegetarian choices, limited to dishes containing cheese and cream, although I think they would prepare something vegan style if you speak German (or translate what you want and write it down beforehand), or speak to the odd staff member who speaks very good English (most speak a little, but few fluent). Menu written in English also available on request. Choice of beers excellent, all locally brewed beverages, and worth trying them all. Seating is inside or outside, and I fully recommend sitting outside on a hot Bavarian evening in the summer for a beer or three, although you would be wise to book a table in advance as every evening in the nice weather is busy, and from Thursday through to Sunday can be packed outside with any empty tables reserved. Food recommendations, anything from the menu is good home cooked food, served in pans, large plates and breadboards, and almost all main meals are mountainous portions. Vegetarian, the best are the cheese noodles, and flammkuchen which is like a thin crispy pizza with cream, feta cheese, tomatoes, olives and herbs on, again for vegans I think they can cook without dairy, or prepare a salad without cheese, and also a jacket potato (without the milk based herb sauce) if you can make yourself understood, also vegan friendly sides available if you can make yourself understood. If not, why not just eat something vegan from the local supermarkets? Most have an abundance of fresh and ripe fruit and veg, tofu based faux meat products, and a huge selection of bread, and then simply enjoy a few drinks on the porch here, and enjoy the great atmosphere. 3 out of 5 for vegetarians who don't mind dairy products (4 if you really like cheese or milk based products), 1 out of 5 for vegan food, 5 out of 5 for meat eaters. 5 out of 5 for anyone wanting to enjoy a local beer, although strict vegans do your homework on Bavarian beers (3.8 averaged out). Prices, from as little as 5⬠to 18⬠for food (steak being the most expensive, but locally sourced, around 2.9E for a 500ml beer.

This restaurant is very nicely located in the center of Langenselbold, and has enough place to park your car if needed. The restaurant has around 40 tables including a smoker area and a very nice terasse available during sunny times, very relaxing! The place has an Italian atmosphere with shiny colors, vine and Italian waiters who are super nice! They can speak German of course, Italian, English and even French! So should you go there once, you won't have any trouble to be understood. Now the food! There is a very nice selection of pizza, pasta (homemade) but also fresh seafood and meat. It also offers some of the German specialities (schnitzel) and every month or couple of month you will find some seasonal dishes. For instance, there are now some dishes with asparagus. A very nice place to eat:)

A lovely restaurant and Biergarten, great food and service, reasonable prices. Perfect for a family, there is a playground in full view from the terrasse Biergarten. Cows and goats graze nearby. For the less mobile walkers the woodland paths from the restaurant are reasonably flat and easy walking. We were a party of grandparents (74), parents and young children (youngest 4). The children could happily go and play whilst the adults sat at the table and talked yet still watch the kids. And afterwards we all went for a little meander in the woods.Perfect Sunday afternoon family time. Highly recommended.

Unter der Woche ist der vordere Bereich gemütlich. Mit vielen Stammgästen belegt, meist Pensionäre. Am Sonntag ist das Restaurant voll belegt, so dass der groÃe Zusatzsaal mit belegt ist. Lange ungemüliche Tischreihen- Bahnhofshallenatmosphäre der 70er. Laut. Alles kein Grund auf gutes Essen zu verzichten, doch groÃer Irrtum. Drei Schnitzel bestellt, der Salat war schnell serviertals die Getränke, lecker- schmackhaft.Nach kurzer Wartezeit kam die groÃe Schüssel mit Pommes - heiÃ, kross etwas viel Salz. Die Schnitzel - groà - nasse Pannade, Fleisch gekocht., nicht gebraten - kalt! Alle drei! Vermutlich berets morgens vorgefertigt und im Wärmer aufbewahrt.

If you want to eat here, plan and book well ahead! Steffens were in Steinheim in the past and now moved to Alzenau in a bigger, brighter place. It also has rooms to stay. The food is excellent, the ambiente modern and all is well here for business or private.It is a bit out of the way to get here, but it is worth i!
