ALEX Ludwigshafen in Ludwigshafen am Rhein

Food Review – Restaurant ALEX, Ludwigshafen (Breakfast) I went to breakfast at ALEX in Ludwigshafen with my girls – my bachelorette party couldn't have started better! The selection was gigantic: From vegan and vegetarian to savory egg dishes, there was simply everything. I particularly loved the fresh pesto – so aromatic and delicious! The food was not only varied, but also truly delicious and tasted top-notch. You could tell that quality is paramount here. What really made the morning special, however, was the service: Our server – a phenomenal woman – was simply fantastic. Super attentive, warm, and always there to help, without being intrusive. As soon as something ran out, she immediately refilled it. I've rarely experienced such great service! Conclusion: A perfect start to a special day. I'll definitely be back – and recommend breakfast at ALEX to anyone who values ​​good taste and excellent service.

Service was very friendly, food and drinks arrived quickly, it was very tasty

Very good food! Schnitzel with mushroom sauce and a chicken bowl (great ingredients). Super friendly service! Thank you, dear Jas❤️

I ordered a Pastrami sandwich and a Vodka Red Bull. The sandwich was savory and delicious, though a bit awkward to eat. The taste, however, was excellent. The service was very warm, and the overall ambiance had a nice red hue, making for a peaceful night.

Unfortunately the staff was understaffed today and a bit overwhelmed. When we ordered, we were brought an orange juice because the glass was cracked and a piece was missing. But as a waitress you should see something like that. The selection at the buffet is sufficient. The taste of the food is also very good. Would still recommend the restaurant. What's still a bit annoying is that you can't make a reservation. They always say they'll just come over.

Lots of choice at the breakfast buffet. Delicious. Very friendly and attentive staff.

The breakfast buffet is very rich and tastes really good. The service is always friendly and very attentive. The Alex can also pay for it properly, but unfortunately it's not really cheap or cheap. Unfortunately, the drinks are completely exorbitant compared to the prices for food: a 0.5 cola costs well over €6. It hurts and leaves you with a bit of a feeling of being ripped off by the drinks.

I stopped by for lunch and started with the Sweet Potato Lentil Soup, which arrived piping hot and promptly. The soup was rich, velvety, and bursting with flavor, perfectly complemented by the crispy side of baked carrots, parsnip-ginger chips, and oven-fresh herb garlic ciabatta. The contrast of textures—smooth, crunchy, and toasty—made every bite delightful! 🥖🥕 For the main course, I chose the Gyoza Bowl with Vegetables, a vibrant and beautifully plated dish. The baked gyoza dumplings, available with a savory vegetable filling, rested atop fragrant Japanese sushi rice, drizzled with a luscious Thai mango & roasted sesame sauce. The bowl was a symphony of flavors and textures, featuring crisp red cabbage salad, creamy avocado, refreshing cucumber, edamame, earthy beetroot, and tender lamb’s lettuce. The glass noodle crunch and roasted sesame added an extra layer of texture, while the carrot-parsnip-ginger chips, lime-coriander cream, and apple-chili chutney tied everything together with a balance of sweetness, spice, and zest. 🥑🍜 The staff was exceptionally attentive and friendly, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable lunchtime dining experience. From the prompt service to the well-curated menu, every detail made for a memorable meal. I’ll definitely be back! ✨

The breakfast buffet has plenty of options... from muesli to boiled eggs... salmon or other delicacies... if you go out hungry it's your own fault

The breakfast buffet is really very good. Lots of choice and very tasty. I can more than recommend it.

It was our first time here, but certainly not the last time! We really felt completely at home, especially because of the very nice gentleman who served us! But the service in general was really great! We were here for the breakfast buffet because it was our daughter's birthday today. If something from the buffet was almost empty, it was refilled very quickly and generously, and the rolls were also very fresh and tasty! We didn't lack anything! The only thing that might have been really great would have been salmon and boiled eggs (maybe I just didn't see this). Otherwise there was cornflakes, jams, yoghurt, pancakes, all sorts of sausages, scrambled and fried eggs, savory things like fried potatoes, or sweet pastries. We'll be back! Thank you very much....

Yes, of course. Everything was great.

I was there today, want meet friends, eat together laugh together. But it has not happened. I came in, and saw all table are reserved. Do i ask the waitress if there any still available.. She said if it is researve it is not free , i should look alone if there anay free.. its no problem but, it is not the duty of a waitress to look for a free table for a guest??? But i have no problem with that..its okey so i look atound and found 1 free table. And wait of my friends to come. Minutes later one of my friend comes and she ddnt saw me. She sitted where someone setting already. So the waitress ask her to transfer to the other table which is already researved.So as i came to her , i asked her to transfer to me because the table is not free. But she said its okey the waitress let take the table.. now i asked the waitres before as i came she ddnt let me sit at the reserved table but my friend she did? She said , she let my friend takes the table because she was b4 at the table ehere there are already someone sitting. My Question is????. Why she dfnt let me sit on the reserved table before as i came.. and have to look all around the area to look for free table but my friend she did let her??? It just simply because that im an Asian and my friend is a German??? I just want only an explanation , which of course get me angry, simply becausr she doesnt allow me to speak out.. not only here but also her Chef. I ask the Chef to let me speak but no .. he doednt allow me to speak. The reason saying she just let my friend sit at that reserved table because she was sitting by other person.. is unacceptable for me.. because she could also offer that for me before.. correct me if om wrong. Rasism which is against the law in germany.. it is punishable. I will never come again in this restaurant.. For me the place is good but your worker are no good. Zero points from me 😡

There was a good selection at breakfast. The food was was good. Price performance is ok. Gladly again.

I think ALEX is one of the few places in Ludwigshafen where everything is nice, clean and orderly. It was a nice evening with friends, we had a good time.

We were there in December for the breakfast buffet. It was tasty and plentiful. It's just a shame that there was no smoked salmon. It's a must for me when I go out for breakfast. According to the waitress, it's only available at the brunch buffet on Sundays.

Very friendly service, delicious breakfast buffet always fresh and always happy again!!!

Very nice place. I had breakfast brunch. Plenty of choice for breakfast. Yoghurt, fruit, eggs, meat, rolls or bread... A lot to choose. Service was very nice and everything looked clean. Carpark are around the are but need to be paid.

Nice location, dinner possible until 9:30 p.m. The price is appealing... but still within reasonable limits

Food was good. Service could have been a little more courteous and quick. - Ambiance was very bad for me, it was very drafty and cold. The ventilation urgently needs to be revised. There is a great risk of getting sick here if you don't want to sit inside with a winter jacket.

Super cute and very tasty! We were able to organize a table for 9 people at short notice, felt very comfortable and had a delicious brunch.

Super schönes Lokal, uns leckeres Essen. Die Speisen sind immer hochwertig und auch fürs Auge sehr hübsch angerichtet. Das Personal ist immer sehr freundlich und gut gelaunt und erfüllt auch kleine Extrawünsche ;) Wir kommen gerne wieder

Hi guys I think it's a cool location. I liked it there Good service Good prices If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life for a bit, then go there......👍

Food top, drinks very tasty, service/staff 1A, price/performance ratio is right!! Had a lovely evening. The only thing that really left something to be desired was the cleanliness of the toilets. They were very unpleasant. That's the only reason I deducted 1 star.

A good place to have breakfast and drink coffee...

We weren't greeted warmly, we were immediately asked if we had made a reservation, no, we hadn't, as we wanted to eat something spontaneously, and then we were listlessly assigned a table. We felt like a nuisance

Great facility, super friendly and committed service staff and varied and very tasty cuisine. There were 13 of us here and we all had different dishes. Everything was delicious and well prepared :)

Large breakfast buffet with plenty of choice. Coffee also very tasty.

Good food at fair prices in a nice atmosphere. Staff friendly, what more could you want. One of the few restaurants in Ludwigshafen where you can still go.

Are often there for the breakfast buffet or brunch. Service is always top and attentive. Buffet is constantly refilled without long breaks. Since the renovation there has been better space and the tables are no longer so cramped.

The 4 of us spontaneously went to the breakfast buffet in the morning. We were looked after very well and the food on offer was great! We were full and left in a good mood. We'll definitely be back!

The food is good. I recommend this place, the burger is not Wow but it loads.

Delicious food, friendly staff, quick and attentive, good prices

Breakfast buffet is world class. Coffee variations and the cake are great. Ambiance is great. Staff very friendly. Price performance is TOP. Today's service, with a fully booked ALEX in Ludwigshafen, was world class. Thanks to the service specialist Ms. Pinar.

Good breakfast buffet with a nice selection at a reasonable price, considering that you pay €10-12 for a standard breakfast at the bakery around the corner.

My friend and I go there regularly for breakfast and have also been there in the evenings and the breakfast and food are very tasty. Portions are large. The staff is also very friendly and are there quickly when you call them or come to the table and ask if everything is ok and if you need anything else.

It is a restaurant that we often go to. The food tastes very authentic and pure, the staff has good service and the price is reasonable. It is a very popular restaurant in the local area!

A new visit as things can change 🤔 27.12.2024, this time, the mulled wine "Glühwein" was delicious. 🍷😋 Also, we decided to try a Caesar Salad Wrap, including french fries. It was very tasty and reasonably priced. Portion could be slightly larger. A cappuccino to finish off was also good.☕️ Toilet cleanliness & hygiene are much better, a vast improvement. The staff were very friendly & efficient. 😁 It was an enjoyable visit this time. Many thanks, keep it up, we'll pop by again soon. 👌🏼👍🏻 Update due to downgrade😢 Our table reservation wasn't found.😤 6,50€ for a wine schorle in the Pfalz 🤔😭 Toilet hygiene shocking 😱 especially in Covid times.😷 The following night/day, my wife & I had very dodgy stomachs.😰 Finally no reply to an email we sent to them.😡 Original review below⬇️ Everything works well, whether for a coffee or a cocktail, an enjoyable tasty breakfast, or a full meal. Staff & atmosphere very friendly.

My family and I had brunch. Was very good

Only recommended. Have never been disappointed so far.

Selection very good, quality ok

We went to a business event on December 7th, 2024 and stayed in a hotel nearby. The Alex was only a few meters away on foot. Our team met there for dinner and breakfast. We were very pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere is very cozy, service is first class. I was particularly impressed by the service person Pinar. She was always there when something was missing and always did her best in a friendly and kind manner. That was just great, but the other service staff also did a first-rate job. Interesting4you Moers would like to thank you very much, also on behalf of our team, who felt very comfortable in your home.

Nice stopover as a Christmas market tourist.

Breakfast buffet was very nice and the burgers in the afternoon are also stable

Food served cold, we are from one Tall waiter with a dark blue shirt. Served very arrogantly and unfriendly, just because he is the restaurant manager you don't treat customers like that! Unfortunately you lost us as guests, sadly! The mood in the team is also not what it used to be. Unfortunately there is nothing left in lu Then we'll move on somewhere else where we'll be very welcome 🙏🏽The restaurant itself is very nice But it doesn't help if employees behave like that.

We were very impressed by the food...the ambience was very harmonious with a Christmas atmosphere not far from a small Christmas market...we had booked for 25 people, unfortunately it was very cramped and not advantageous for 25 people to eat in a cramped condition but we managed it. The service staff were very accommodating and friendly and we really liked it.

Few to no gluten-free options, especially when it comes to the buffet and the cakes/desserts. Service not very attentive but friendly. Rather cool, after a while we had cold feet,

Disrespectful waiter, another customer will react differently!

Really delicious - it looks great visually too. The ambience is not my thing but you still feel comfortable. I was there recently with my daughter and wanted something to take away (not really possible) but the staff set it up for us anyway. (I will return the fork :D)

The food and drinks were good, but I missed simple or small, low-fat dishes on the menu. Maybe a sandwich, baked potato with quark or something similar. The ambience is very nice, some seating is more suitable for a short stay than others, but that's just my taste. Unfortunately, I had a negative memory of the toilets because the disinfectant dispensers hanging up in the cabins for cleaning glasses were empty, someone had spit on the floor and when I looked closely everything was a bit stained and dirty (walls, trash cans, doors, glasses and lids). .

Nice location but unfortunately I can't say the same about those who work there. We also asked for a Pina Colada, which (everything except this cocktail) looked like everything except the cocktail we ordered...And then also the way the bartender addressed us, he wasn't friendly at all and didn't reflect that at all The manner of those who work behind a counter to serve customers...who, among other things, go there to spend their money and ensure that they are paid! Failed!!!

I can't recommend it any further. First we had to wait more than 20 minutes and no one came to us. Then we had to go in ourselves and call someone out. The table was so dirty so we asked if they could clean the table, he said yes and no more orders were placed on the dirty table and they said at the beginning we don't take new customers. You certainly don't say that to the customers, we also pay for it !! When we called someone to pay we had to wait another 20 minutes. We complained to the boss who was also super unfriendly and the whole thing was still normal. I found it really disappointing. We won't be going there anymore!!

Very poor staff service and service, I am very disappointed….

The service was terrible today, she only came to our table once, took our order, then she didn't show up for what felt like 20 minutes, I had to run to her and ask where our cappuccino was, a short time later she brought it, we were then finished, no service anywhere. A few hours later I had to run to the counter because we wanted to leave and they didn't come to collect either. I don't know that at all about Alex, I hope this waitress learns something new or they hire more people.

Judit, our service, very friendly!! super delicious food, great restaurant🥰Thank you

Great cafe, good varied buffet, friendly staff and good value for money

You can have a great brunch here.

The breakfast buffet is great, it is replenished regularly and there is a large selection. Price-performance ratio at breakfast is also good. In the evening the restaurant becomes a bar, the music is quite loud and when the place is full it is difficult to have conversations. Don't go for a cozy dinner, more for a cocktail.

best shop in LU!!!! like to come here often

Was here to pass some time. Well attended, unfortunately a bit noisy. Service attentive, friendly. Price/performance ratio okay

The blonde waiter serves us well every time we are here. He always works hard and always puts you in a good mood!!! Nice service here and everyone is always friendly!!! Always enjoy coming here!!!

The restaurant is very easy to reach, everything is clean. The service staff are super friendly and helpful. And the food is delicious and rich

Only 4 stars because the toilets are an absolute disaster. It stinks extremely and so far every time the floor has been dirty and urine and feces have been spread around and around the toilets.

Just the entrance. Not just a rickety metal ramp. The floor was made as a ramp. There are grab handles on both sides (extra points!) The restaurant is relatively large and therefore very suitable for wheelchair users and mothers (or fathers with strollers). We got there very quickly and got a really great table. The drink request was quickly received and delivered. The actual ordering was also relatively quick (at least it was well attended) and so was the serving. The food was really tasty. My mother and I had the schnitzel (chicken) with cream sauce and mushrooms, with fries. Simply highly recommended. The schnitzel was exactly as it should be. My sister had the baked potato with salmon, which she also loved. A big compliment and thank you to the kitchen. I really only have good things to say about the people who work there. Very friendly, attentive and helpful. All I can say is that it was the first but certainly not the last visit there. Another plus is a parking lot that is close by. It's chargeable, but it's probably better than some parking garages if you read the reviews.

Central point in Ludwigshafen where everything works as it should

Very disappointing! Everything used to be better* Price-performance is really not acceptable Service staff was much better now a total disaster! Never again Eating frozen goods and steak very tough and fatty

On Sundays, brunch is always served until 2 p.m. We often go there on Sundays. I wouldn't recommend anyone to go after 12 p.m. It is no longer refilled independently, especially the warm counter. As a customer, I constantly have to say that the containers are empty. It is only filled upon request and in small bites. Frustrating when you pay €60 for 2 people and don't go home full.

Was there today for the first time in a long time. Celebrated my birthday with my family. Reserved for 10. Price is already very high at €17 for breakfast without a drink! In addition, the heaters there failed. It was just really cold! In addition, there was also a strong pull. This was probably known for two days. Difficult to get a place somewhere else at such short notice. Maybe they could have communicated this in advance based on my reservation then we would have gone somewhere else where it wouldn't have been so cold.

Eaten deliciously and is ideal for lingering. Always my pleasure.

It's been a long time (7 years) that I've come to Ludwigshafen again. Nice restaurant, enjoyed the breakfast buffet, the service was nice, friendly and attentive. Buffett nicely set up, was constantly refilled,

I didn't eat anything so no review Drinks great Reasonable prices Great atmosphere

Super nice staff and delicious food.

Zwischenstop auf dem Weg zum Almabtrieb ins Zillertal, bei Alex. Tolles Frühstück, Cafe sehr schön, sehr sauber und sehr freundliches Personal

cozy, clean and nice conditions

Went there for the breakfast buffet, really tasty especially the fresh bread. Why do I deduct 2 points? I don't think €6 is normal for a large special! It's ok that drinks have become more expensive, but €6!?

All hell broke loose that evening. But the manager always had a nice word to say.

Good selection, delicious food and friendly service.

Because Steven does a great job and I like dining at Alex's.

So Sunday brunch price-performance ratio is not recommended.

We always enjoyed going to Alex, there was nothing wrong with the ambience and the service. It's completely different when it comes to food, according to the motto "it's more expensive now, but worse in quality and quantity." The rump steak for €27.50. Small, totally overgrown and tough. The mini garlic bread was hard and tasteless. At home I ate something first. The Caesar salad was a joke in terms of portion size. Too bad Used to be one of my favorite places. But we'll look for another place to eat in the future.

Actually a great bistro with a breakfast buffet...unfortunately it has become very expensive and the service is overwhelmed and not attentive

We have been visiting this restaurant for years! But it has slowed down a lot, some of the food comes frozen, tk goods! Or cold the plate is warm... Price performance is in the upper range what we Can't accept... You can also tell that the service isn't as good anymore... Very unfortunate The furniture as well as the decoration are very nice! Last chance missed, unfortunately we won't be coming anymore or maybe at some point... It's a shame ☹️

Really disappointed how bad this place got over the years I was a customer. Service was always an issue as you normally wait minimum 15 min for someone to take your order, and another 15 min to receive your drinks! Unreasonably long time to get served. Never have enough servers for the amount of tables they have. We always went for Sunday brunch. Food tastes okay when you finally get some because the most popular items are constantly empty and they just don't keep up with refilling them. Broken high chair was given to us which we couldn't use to sit our child and nobody cared to fix it. Why even bother being able to book a table and request a high chair? Other 2 were in use and once again nobody cared to bring us one of them once the other people were done using them. Best was the end, made a plate of pancakes with some syrup and asked politely if I could have a bit of whipped cream to go on top, got some bs excuse that this is not part of the price and they can't give me any?! You are literally serving huge buffet for 21 euro a person, including high expens items such as salmon, but a bit of whipped cream is two servers explaining to me they can't give me any? What a way to lose customers. Just avoid this place and this horrible service with servers that keep changing all the time.

Absolute horror service. An infant was specified when making the reservation. We were given a broken high chair to use. The meal/brunch was an absolute failure. Everything was always empty or cold. Our table was full of used cutlery and plates. We weren't even asked for or cleaned up. Never again!

Good morning ! Had brunch at Alex this morning and really had to get something off my chest. Guys, it's amazing what you're doing here. I take my hat off. Very well done. Super delicious! Prepared with love. A huge compliment goes to Pina. She gave us excellent hospitality. Was always there. Very very nice. Thanks Pina, we'll be back.

No vegan offer before 1:09 p.m. Stupid and stupid not recommended

Well, what can you say? The Alex now really leaves a lot to be desired. I'm the last person who doesn't understand that restaurants are raising/have to raise prices. But then don't also lower the quality and portion size. Today I ordered a Caesar salad. Sorry guys, but that's not possible (see photo)!!! And no, I didn't eat half the plate before I took the photo. That was actually the entire portion, not even lovingly or creatively prepared. Unfortunately the taste doesn't mean anything at all. Unfortunately, garlic/herb baguette also without garlic. My son's burger (from the lunch menu) was OK. He enjoyed it. My daughter's schnitzel with mushrooms also tasted okay. But here again... what kind of mini portions did those become? 1 small schnitzel with less than a handful of fries, side salad served in a mini bowl for €16.90. No, I don't understand that. Service was friendly and attentive. There's nothing to complain about there.

Very tasty breakfast buffet, large selection, very friendly staff

Everything was very tasty and there was a lot to choose from. The service was also just as good and friendly. The furnishings are very nicely chosen.

Went for breakfast today with a reservation. The breakfast buffet was 90% empty. The waitresses didn't come to refill it. For a price of €.15.30 and the extra coffee at €4.10, this is simply overpriced. 1 bottle of water for €7.00 is excessive I imagine a nice, cozy breakfast to be different. Statements like a lack of staff don't interest me in this case. The staff doesn't care whether the guest was satisfied when checking out. Been there again after years but I won't come back. For this price I prefer to go where the price-performance ratio is right.

Heerlijk eten! Schnitzel is zeer aan te raden! Desserts zijn geweldig. En de bediening is uitermate vriendelijk!zeer zeker aan te bevelen!

Habe heute Fried Pizza Rolls mit Speck und Lauch bestellt. Bin von Preis Leistung sehr enttäuscht. Die Füllung Speck und Lauch War nur rudimentär vorhanden. Der Beilagensalat seinem Namen nicht Würdig. Zum Preis von 10,70 habe ich mir etwas anderes vorgestellt. Nie wieder Alex! Kann kann ich nicht empfehlen. Einzig die Bedienung war Seh freundlich und bei der Kritik Ruhig und freundlich geblieben. Offensichtlich hat sie damit Erfahrung.

Delicious food, beautifully decorated and friendly service!

We've been going to Alex Ludwigshafen for years. And actually we were satisfied. But lately we've been disappointed. We can understand that everything is becoming more expensive these days. And that the catering industry adapts. But to increase the prices like that and then only give out half the portions! No, we can't understand that. The staff is very nice. And so it was always very pleasant there. But when I have to pay almost twice as much for something and then only get half of it. Sorry, but we're out of there. Unfortunately we have to say that Alex is over for us after so many years.

We come from the area and have been going to ALEX for several years. We are also aware of the economic situation in the catering industry. But the price has now been increased for the third time in 2024. In some cases by more than 60-100%. A salad with turkey strips has now reached €18. Price increases are ok in the current situation and respect this, but then making the portions 1/3 or even half smaller is a double adjustment and really no longer fair! Plus it costs a 0.7l bottle of water costs 7€ a 0.25l water: €3.80 A 0.5l orange juice spritzer: €6.30 an iced tea 0.5l: €6.50 and a latte almost 6€. Today we had the breakfast buffet with two adults and two children (!!!). The price at the end was so high that even the waitress became suspicious and printed out the receipt for follow-up checking. 2 adults/2 children breakfast buffet with drinks for 104 € WOW! The ALEX is very nice, you can sit very well. The ambience is also very nice. The waitresses in LU are always friendly, really try hard and provide great service. However, the pricing policy is unfair and absolutely exaggerated. Apart from the fact that we can no longer afford a breakfast for over 100€ and a bottle of water for 7€ and don't want to, we hope that those responsible will adjust the prices appropriately again so that customers don't slowly die off here too begins. It would just be too bad... Unfortunately we are out of ALEX for now. We enjoyed being here and always enjoyed the hospitality and the food. But the price is now exorbitantly high and we probably won't spend our time here anymore. Too bad...

Burger Patty extreme dry, salad the size of a mayo serving and the dressing original MacDonald…. Waiter was friendly !

Very tasty food, unfortunately on our last visit we had to wait 30 minutes until a waiter came to collect the money even though we had already been informed.

Very friendly and attentive staff. Prices and surroundings ok. Parking is a bit difficult.

Very rich, good breakfast, very attentive staff.

Unfortunately I can't say anything about the food. You weren't even served. There was really nothing going on, but people preferred to talk privately. I really don't have a problem with it, but you can do it from time to time.
