Am Platzl in Rothenburg ob der Tauber

Food and service were excellent! Big portions so take that in mind when ordering.

Service and friendliness that you don't often encounter and the food was great, very tasty. Will come again when we are nearby.

Super delicious food. Fine dining. Very courteous service. Very large portions. Extra requests are always taken into account. For anyone who likes to eat very well: highly recommended!

Reservations are required. The menu is small, but everything is delicious. The same ingredients are used in the various sides of the menu. The owner is a friendly and kind person.

Very tasty foods, nice atmosphere and very friendly owner. It has small menu but every item is different and very very delicious.

Unique, beautifully presented and generous portions. Small menu but delicious flavors. Cash only.

Really nice and friendly atmosphere and a very likeable staff. But to our taste the food - although the nicely seasoned and all - was very fatty and far too heavy on the stomach.

Stumbled upon this place for lunch. Was absolutely amazing. Best meal I’ve had since coming to Germany a week ago.

When it comes to food, we're probably not gourmets. Once was enough. Card payment not possible. Toilet needs to be cleaned thoroughly. :-(

Great food... a feast for the palate and for the eye... Very friendly, personable service... We'll be back without a doubt... C and D

Excellent cuisine and hospitality. One of the best restaurants in Rothenburg. Family owned We enjoyed our dinner

A very comfortable dining environment in a corner of the town. The portions are very large. You can definitely eat a full meal. The presentation is like a work of art. The beef stew is very delicious. The chef is kind. You will like this place.

Terrible service, the employee in charge did nothing to assist us

Delicious food, very good service, I would love to come back.

Fantastisch gegeten , mooie smaken kortom iets buiten de route maar heerlijk ! De moeite waard ! Grote porties dus niet teveel van tevoren eten

Very good restaurant, upper class Ideal for a candlelight dinner for two on Valentine's Day.

After the waiter told us that two umbrellas no longer opened and that the one shaded spot had been reserved and was closed inside, we realized that he had no desire to make any sales. We then moved on...

A very nice little restaurant. Very nice owner. You can feel very comfortable here. The greetings from the kitchen are very tasty and imaginative. The dishes were well prepared and super tasty. Can only be recommended.

Small-scale restaurant, nice terrace, great dishes and flavors, please note that despite fairly refined dishes, the portions are large to very large. Top restaurant, we would go there!

Great restaurant, small scale, very tasty dishes, reservation is actually necessary, keep in mind quite large portions, we drive around for this, RECOMMENDED!!

Ich habe mit meinem besten Freund ein paar ansonsten wirklich tolle Tage in Rothenburg verbracht und als vermeintliches Highlight waren wir im Am Platzl. Leider haben wir uns von der hohen Bewertung täuschen lassen und nicht erkannt dass der Großteil der fünf Sterne Bewerter die erste Bewertung abgegeben hat. Lieber Herr Toth: auch wenn wir es erst im Nachgang realisiert haben sollte Sie mal darauf achten, dass Sie nicht in den Bewertungen, die Sie selber für sich schreiben, um die negativen. Bewertungen auszugleichen, die selben gravierenden Rechtschreibfehler wie in ihren Kommentaren zu eben diesen negativen Bewertungen haben. Aber beeindruckend wie hier der Wirt und die Küche (wohl auch alles in Personalunion) gelobt werden.. Schon nach dem Gruß aus der Küche war eigentlich klar wie es weitergeht: ein geschichteter Butterberg zugeschüttete mit Paprikasalz, dieses natürlich hausgemacht….. danach Vorspeisen und Hauptgänge alle mit diesem Salz und Remouladensauce garniert und gewürzt waren. Gemüse verkocht, Fleisch lag mit Brühe (Sauce war das kaum zu nennen) auf dem Teller. Kleiner Tipp: Unbedingt sofort was unterlegen, da meinem Freund die Brühe direkt auf die Hose gelaufen ist. Falls ihr überlegt dorthin zu gehen unbedingt die Kommentare der niedrigen Bewertungen lesen, die sind ehrlich und treffen ins Schwarze….Ach ja und habt Bargeld dabei. Auch wenn es nirgends steht kann man nur mit Bargeld bezahlen. Sehr ungewöhnlich, passt aber und liegt sich nicht am defekten Lesegerät….

The best review I've ever written goes to this restaurant! I have absolutely NOTHING to complain about. There was a very tasty “greeting from the kitchen”, the food looked like it was pictured and tasted excellent! Rarely have I eaten something so good. The prices are justified. Exquisite food in a rustic atmosphere. Plus points: although the landlord has had bad experiences, dogs are still welcome.

This is the classic restaurant that thinks it has a Michelin star for €40 but is just a scammer. A plate full of paprika powder, a sauce, lots of herbs on top and you think you're a chef. A disgrace.

Great service, great food. The owner is the epitome of a restaurateur who loves his job. We'll be back.

Perfect service and excellent food! We will come again.👏🏼

Special. Excellent food nicely presented. Not cheap, but generous with compliment starter and Interims small dish. Limited wine selection, no bottles at present. No credit card payments.

Delicious food, perfect service.

Amazing restaurant totally took care of us!

Very tasty food, the price is high but we were really satisfied. You get small recommendations from the kitchen in advance, for us it was a baguette with butter and homemade cream cheese spread, and a delicious cold berry foam soup with a touch of wild garlic salt. My husband had the beef tenderloin and I had the baked chicken. Everything was really tasty and high quality, also beautifully presented on the plate. Thank you!

The boss cooks himself and the food is wonderful. The host is very friendly, gluten-free food was no problem! The greetings from the kitchen were first class, the main course was a dream and the portions were more than enough even for hungry people! Gladly again!

Great small restaurant with rotating menu. Food is excellent! Service is also top notch. Portions are huge, so don’t overorder. Place is really different from all nearby restaurants, with much higher quality food.

Very friendly and open host. We felt very comfortable.

I was there for dinner: very, very friendly and charming owner/chef. Small menu, as all dishes are prepared with fresh ingredients. Amuse Gueule: wild berry smoothie with salty wild garlic was very tasty, as was the main course. I can highly recommend a lunch or dinner at "am platz". Thank you very much!

I'm sorry that I cannot leave score zero for this disgusting restaurant. I was late for the reservation and it was my fault clearly, but the man had passed me by several times, so I had waited there for the longtime. And after a long waiting, he came to me and told to me that I was late and reservation has been cancelled already. Since the restaurant was absolutely empty I had a doubt that he is a racist and he intentionally ignored me to let me stand there for the long time, instead of informing properly my reservation has been cancelled. For sure restaurant can reject the late arrival but make the people stand in front of him and ignore the guest intentionally to reject after a long waiting is an unimaginable bad manner. Hopefully, if he wants to be a racist, I recommed him to learn English at least since it is a right global weapon, instead of fumbling the language as a child level and instead of sending a disgusting kiss to an woman guest because of his poor English abaility. Please have a doubt if the review score of this restaurant is an honest one or not, since too many reviews hhad been written by single review writter or less than ten review generators.

Had a delicious meal here...a very pleasant surprise!!!

It's been a long time since we've had such excellent food. Absolute hammer! Only recommended! 🌼

Very tasty food, highly recommended!

Make reservations and don’t miss out on this little gem! The Chef was serious, but incredibly talented (and humble). Truly thought he had Michelin type culinary training but he shared his schooling. The thoughtfulness of bringing out flavored butter and bread (and it’s incredible display) plus a “welcome to the kitchen” drink from the chef started off our meal. The meal itself was easily the best we’ve had while in Europe this past month. The Chef’s creativity, presentation, and flavors of all five of our meals were incredible. Highly recommend.

This place is truly incredible! Innovative cuisine, refined tastes and very good combinations create original and tasty dishes. If you are tired of eating the usual 2/3 French-speaking dishes, this is the place for you! You have to book because they have few places, but it's worth it, very friendly staff and abundant dishes. Compliments!

We were welcomed by a very warm and friendly owner/chef. The food was absolutely great. It doesn't matter whether it's the little greeting from the kitchen with a homemade spice mix on butter with bread, the delicious Hungarian cherry soup or our main courses (I've never eaten such a good roast and the homemade potato salad was also very good). The portions are large and the quality, especially of the meat, is very good. We would be happy to come back if we end up in Rothenburg.

The owner is a cool guy. Food tastes delicious, in my opinion it is a star chef👍👍👍✌️✌️

We decided on this place because of the good reviews. We were first served a wild garlic soup, which everyone got for free. However, I had previously ordered wild garlic soup before I knew about the free soup. This then meant that I got soup twice and had to wait a full 65 minutes for the main meal, which was an undercooked baked potato. All the food and crockery were smeared in paprika, which did nothing for the dish. Boring experience. Far too expensive.

Wow. Just WOW. Am Platzl is amazing. Food is fabulous, atmosphere is great, the staff are friendly. If you are visiting Rotenburg, find this restaurant (it is not hard to find). The menu may rotate a bit, so only recent reviews may be accurate as to what is available. A family of 6 can expect to spend €180 to €220, but it is well worth it. For tourists: bring euros, as they do not take cards.

It is a place on the edge of the tourist hustle and bustle where you can enjoy very good food!

Nice little restaurant with a chef from Hungary 🇭🇺. Even if the prices look expensive at first glance, the food is definitely worth it. Very nice service, gladly again 👍👍👍👍👍

INCREDIBLE restaurant. Every single dish was unique and delicious. The fillet is the best I’ve had in my life. Also, the chef/waiter is super friendly and welcoming.

Great service, lovely location, delicious food. A bit too much repetitive taste over the same ingredients (cream, paprika, strawberries) for our taste, but it was a nice dinner overall.

Really sweet owner who went out of his way to make us and a few other guests food even though we came after the Kitchen closed. (All restaurants that we could find in Rothenburg Ob Der Tauber had the Kitchen closed at 20.30ish). And even though our little dog played a bit with another dog at the neighbouring table he was very sweet and accepting while he tried to waiter around two playful puppies. Before the meal we got nice bread with paprika butter which was surprisingly good. For main course I had the fried chicken which was really nice and the potatoes with the fermented cucumbers that came with it was a Delicious supplement to the chicken. My girlfriend got a baked potato which she thoroughly enjoyed. Most of the dishes came with what I think is a Holiday Dip. The location itself is very cosy and charming, but how can't it be when located in Rothenburg Ob Der Tauber? Visitering Am Platzl was a experience I enjoyed very much.

We came up from Kempten with friends and tried Am Platzl based on the online recommendations. Wow, was this place fantastic!! The outdoor ambience, the super friendly owner, the surprise appetizer, the delightful service, and the outstanding food just can't be beat!! We will definitely be coming back and introducing our additinal visitors to this little gem in Rothenburg!!

Very friendly service and fresh, delicious food.

Hidden gem, owner operated with incredible service and large portions. We had the filet and pigeon both cooked and presented to perfection 10/10.

Huge portions but unfortunately everything was drowned in cream sauces.

Apart from the beautiful location, a little bit away from the hustle and bustle, the innkeeper was very accommodating and friendly. Since I can't eat gluten, I had fried zucchini instead of bread 😍 how great is that, please!? 🤩 The white wine spritzer was very, very generous and the salad was absolutely great! All in all wonderful! Thanks. I'd love to come back!

Top card... Unfortunately prices are a bit tense > Best wild garlic soup EVER. Really awesome > Likewise the cream of potato soup!!!

Excellent food and a very nice host. Everything was beautifully presented - the opposite of fast food

We found a “Hidden Gems” in Rothenburg. Chef Achim was busy but he still served us patiently. We showed him the “googled” food pictures we would like to order but he said he changes the menu every 2.5 months. Surprisedly, he served us 2 additional special food items which is not in the menu and they tastes glorious. The steak was awesome and i would love to have it again if i visit next time. Vibe is great and it’s a best spot for relaxing after sightseeing.

From the reception to the farewell, everything was perfect. The preparation and presentation of the food on the plates is simply perfect. Here you can tell that the boss (cook) comes from star restaurants. First of all, bread with (homemade) butter and curry dip. Afterwards greetings from the kitchen. Price/performance very good (with this quality of food, in my opinion, one or two euros more could be charged). Were here for the second time today. Simply everything in perfection. Food again of the best quality and very, very tasty. We'll definitely come more often.

Great food and very friendly staff!

Brilliant meal. Amazing taste and presentation. Great host, extremely attentive and very friendly. Very generous servings. Highly recommended.

A really delicious restaurant that we visit every time we are in Rothenburg. Small and cozy, a one-man show for kitchen and service, which is impressive as there is always time for a little small talk, but the waiting times never suffer. Super delicious dishes on a small menu, but always with bread in advance and a small greeting from the kitchen. The prices are worth every cent. We will continue to stop at the “Platzl” every time we visit Rothenburg.

The food is amazing, it was a pleasant surprise. The chef, who is also the waiter, does everything and is super attentive to everyone who arrives. The preparation of the dishes is careful and the combination of flavors is incredible.

Very good and unique food. We went for dinner, it was a bit late but the service was very good still. A little bit of music would be great tbf. But the food was interesting

Very tasty food, friendly host and good beer - what more could you want. A slightly quieter restaurant outside the city walls with a small but fine menu. Just try it and get involved, it's totally worth it. At first we were the only guests, but the outside area was full by the time we left. We would be happy to come back next time we visit Rothenburg.

Very, very good food in a cozy atmosphere! Here you get more than adequate service for your money! Definitely a great location where children are also welcome! Thanks!

Super tasty meal after a long day at the conference. Thank you ❤️

We had a fabulous meal here! The owner/server was gracious and very accommodating! Servings were generous and excellent. Presentation was beautiful.

Great host, very great food. A very good and generous greeting from the kitchen. In between, a delicious strawberry drink. Gladly again.

Excellent meal, very tasty and presented delightfully. The town is very characteristic and this meal made our visit even more pleasant.

This was our second time eating here (the last time was six months ago) and the passion of the chef and owner can still be tasted in his food and his creations! The owner personally entertains the guests and also likes to chat personally, very personable! His food is worth every penny! My fish was cooked to perfection and my partner's lamb was so tender that he forgot it was lamb. The quality of its ingredients is outstanding! We will keep coming back!

Het restaurant ziet er van binnen niet uit. Maar maar maar....... Het eten was werkelijk voortreffelijk en de eigenaar was geweldig aardig en deed alles zelf. Koken, bedienen, opruimen en tussendoor zijn dochter naar bed brengen. Wat een geweldige en heerlijke ervaring. Een aanrader dus. Kwaliteit en kwantiteit prima in orde.

Everything was very delicious. The owner is very nice. The service is fast.

Wonderful food in a beautiful atmosphere. We found this gem by accident, and my family is so glad they did. The food was delicious, every bite was bursting with unique and mouth watering flavors. The complementary starters were unexpected and excellent. My son and my husband has the lamb and I had the vegetables. All of us were very impressed. Service was great and the area was nice and quiet compared to other areas surrounding. I highly recommend, you won't be disappointed.

Fantastic service and the food was even better. Must visit if you’re in town!

A hidden gem in the city! Simply WOW! From creativity of food, vegetarian variety to the generosity of the chef! Amazing... had the best time

We cannot understand the last recession! We were alone at the beginning and by the time we left the place was full. Yes, the host does everything himself, but it is beautifully prepared and delicious. Thank you for the great experience.

Amazing big portion food and super friendly staff! Highly recommend!

Very tasty and stimulatingly prepared food. The vegetables are fried fresh and crispy. As a greeting from the kitchen there was bread with homemade dip and seasoned butter and a fantastic cream of pea soup. Also absolutely within the price range! The hospitality was friendly and attentive. The only drawback: unfortunately you couldn't pay by card :/

The food was simply great. Every course tasted outstanding. Thank you

We ate here at lunchtime and there were only four of us in the restaurant until the end. The innkeeper did everything himself, served, cooked, cleared away; was also very talkative at times, we found it rather intrusive. The menu is very manageable, but expensive. We decided on lamb, unfortunately we didn't like it. Price performance wasn't right for us.

Best dinner i had for long as i remember. True family restaurant, friendly service! Highly Recommend!!!

We were recently in Rothenburg on business, and we stopped to eat in the restaurant "Am Platzl" (7 people). You really have to say, the food is rarely as good in terms of taste and garnish as in this restaurant. It was cooked and served with love. Whether smaller or larger dishes, it must be emphasized that the small dishes were specially prepared upon request at no extra charge. (A huge compliment to the owner for that). You were also served there by the boss, really very friendly and accommodating. What made us a little sorry was that he had to turn away at least 10 people during our stay due to the current situation. There was also a couple who became angry and insulting, even threatening to give us a negative review. It's a shame for such a lack of understanding at this time. We wish the owner continued success. If you visit, please don't forget to make a reservation. Greetings from Ute & Rolf Steiner

Very friendly service (rarely experienced like this). We were very happy about the two greetings from the kitchen (bread with spreads, soup). Our main courses were both very good. If you are in Rothenburg, definitely worth a visit! Price/performance top.

The food was amazing, very flavourful. And our server (who I believe is the owner) was extremely kind.

We were passing through to eat here and should have left the restaurant immediately after entering - an unpleasant smell was immediately present and it quickly became apparent that little cleaning was done here. There was a disgusting smell in the toilet despite the window being open, yellow urine stains on the urinals and flies here and there. The food was okay (no more than that), but we couldn't even begin to eat with a clear conscience. Anyone who lets their restaurant deteriorate like this will do the same in the kitchen. In my opinion this is a tourist trap. Send photos and nothing behind them. These countless positive reviews are definitely FAKE! The office urgently needs to stop by here!

Delicious food and great host. Gladly again!

This restaurant is always worth a visit! We were looking forward to the evening for 500 km and were not disappointed! Even the greeting from the kitchen is a poem. Chef Achim knows his craft! We'll be back, next year, same time😅

Here we still cook with heart and passion. The dishes are really very tasty, you immediately notice that everything is freshly prepared here, a real taste experience, the way the dishes are prepared is like a painting, The price-performance ratio is great. We'd love to come back :)

Beautiful quaint exterior with warm string lights framing the door, food varied fare but all of it perfect in texture and flavor. Pea soup was light and airy unlike any I've had. Never tried pickled herring with beetroot before but it was salty offset by slightly sweet crisp beetroot. Reportedly a traditional German dish. So glad I tried it. Unique takes on international flavors such as curry butter, a southwest spiced butter with walnut garnish. The wine list is small but suitable for the well chosen menu. Ambiance is really quite lovely- candles, preserved walls/ceiling beams. The light was a little bright and the bathroom toilet was not flushing, and the seats were a little hard in the booth for a relaxing meal. Very minor and should not deter from coming. An excellent experience! I left stuffed after two courses and one glass of wine. Bring friends!

식사를 시키면 빵과 수제 버터, 소스, 수프가 무료로 나옵니다. 이 메뉴는 시즌별로 바뀌는 것 같습니다. 식전빵 잘 안 먹는데 버터가 너무 맛있어서 모두 먹어치웠습니다. 메뉴도 종류가 많진 않지만 하나하나 맛있어요. 무료 수프가 나오는 걸 알았다면 메인 디쉬를 하나 더 시켰을 텐데 아쉽네요. 나중에 또 들러서 다른 메뉴도 시도해보고 싶습니다. 주인 아저씨 혼자서 주방과 홀을 보시는 것 같은데 매우 친절하셨습니다. 옆 테이블에 앉은 가족이 어린아이를 데리고 왔는데 계속 말 걸어주시고 돌봐주시고 해서 보면서 기분이 좋았어요.

Der erste Besuch ist sicherlich nicht der Letzte gewesen. Die liebevoll ausgewählte Einrichtung kreiert bereits beim Betreten der überschaubaren Räumlichkeit eine echte Wohlfühlatmosphäre. Hervorzuheben ist die Leidenschaft, mit der bedient aber auch gekocht wird. Die Portionsgröße ist in jeder Hinsicht preislich angemessen und die Qualität der Gerichte übertrifft jede Erwartung. Speziell die stetig wechselnden Gerichte auf der Speisekarte garantieren jedes Mal aufs Neue ein einzigartiges Geschmackserlebnis. Unabhängig von den, auf der Speisekarte aufgeführten Gerichten, werden auf Nachfrage maßgeschneiderte vegetarische Alternativen angeboten. Lediglich die Parkplatzsuche gestaltet sich in den engen Straßen der Innenstadt als sehr herausfordernd. Alles in allem kann ich von einer überaus empfehlenswerten Erfahrung sprechen. ______________________________________ Disclaimer: Die angefügten Bilder stellen nur eine temporäre Auswahl dar, da die Speisekarte sich stetig weiterentwickelt, sodass über einen Zeitraum von mehr als zwei Jahren nicht wiederholt das gleiche Gericht serviert worden ist.

Ganz tolles, frisches und leckeres Essen mit einem wirklich netten Wirt. Kann man nur empfehlen. Eine Kerze am Tisch wäre noch top!

Angelockt von den überragenden Bewertungen sind wir leider irgendwie enttäuscht nach Hause. Ein Tatar ist für mich dann doch roh und nicht gekocht. Eines der beiden fleischigen Hauptgerichte war aus und der Linsensalat unter dem Lammfilet entpuppte sich eher als Linsensuppe, die so gar nicht zum Rest passte. Qualität aller Produkte war nichtsdestotrotz super - nur einfach nichts für uns. Wir würden nicht nochmal vorbeikommen.

Super leckeres Essen, und sehr netter Chefkoch. Und vielen dank für die kleine Überraschung von der Küche 🙃

Sehr gutes Essen, sehr guter Service, auf jeden Fall sehr zu empfehlen!

Wow - food was incredible, amazing flavours, great presentation, and exceptional service. Very friendly, he was great with our kids.

Amazing food away from tourists. Great service and amazing flavors! If you are in Rothenburg you cannot miss this place!

The lamp with lentils and chickpeas pure was to die for. Before the main course we were treated to a curry soft cheese and spiced butter with bread. Also a smooth pea soup. H the r place to have dinner in Rothenburg

Sehr zu empfehlen, der Inhaber lebt die Gastronomie. Alle Gerichte sind mit Liebe zubereitet, daher nichts für Schnitzel-Touristen ;-)

Unfassbar sympathischer Service sowie gutes Essen mit sehr üppigen Portionen.

Ein kulinarisches Erlebnis in einer gemütlichen Umgebung. Das Essen übertraf alle Erwartungen an Qualität und Geschmack. Die Atmosphäre war total herzlich, fühlte sich direkt wie Zuhause an. Selbst das jüngste Familienmitglied hat das Rote-Beete-Süppchen, den Rehrücken und das Maishähnchen probiert. Großes Lob und ein aufrichtiges Dankeschön! Wir freuen uns schon auf das nächste Mal.
