Binokel Café Bistro Mannheim in Mannheim

Unfortunately the cappuccino was inedible, far too sour. The ambience has also seen its best years. The staff tried hard.

Great breakfast, with lots of choice. The gourmet breakfast for 2 people was very plentiful. But it absolutely does justice to the steep price.

I've been there several times and always been satisfied, but what I experienced today was subterranean. I had to place my order 3 times and even the 3 times it wasn't understood. The staff was pretty listless. Today it was unusually empty. I understand that when it's full something gets forgotten, but it was empty. The staff didn't even apologize. I'll now think twice about eating there again.

Nice staff, the food is delicious and very cozy

good coffee, good cake, nice atmosphere, friendly service

Kitchen was actually closed, we could still get a schnitzel, ladies were attentive. Was otherwise too empty, unfortunately...the food was ordinary.

Super nice location with a very nice team. Delicious drinks presented very attractively. Simply to feel good. We celebrate the boss, her team and all women in general ❤️

Nice service. Good prices. It is impossible to imagine Mannheim without it.

Ich hatte bereits vor einiger Zeit eine Bewertung zu diesem Unternehmen verfasst, die nun von Google entfernt wurde. Da ich meine Erfahrung weiterhin teilen möchte, hier noch einmal meine Eindrücke: Die Lage des Geschäfts ist gut, jedoch war die Wartezeit sehr lang und der Service wirkte unorganisiert. Die bestellten Getränke kamen mit einem Abstand von 20 Minuten, und die heiße Schokolade war nur lauwarm. Zudem haben wir vergeblich auf ein bestelltes Stück Kuchen gewartet. Ich halte ehrliches Kundenfeedback für wichtig und finde es schade, wenn kritische, aber sachliche Bewertungen nicht sichtbar bleiben.

No matter whether it's breakfast, lunch break or after work, the service, food and ambience are perfect! Point.

It needs to be spruced up again, the restaurant is getting old. However, service was very courteous and nice. Prices like normal in Mannheim!

We often go there for breakfast. Currently new owners. Great, super nice reception. Have rarely experienced such a nice service person. I also complimented her straight away. Finja, thank you again. Breakfast sufficient and tasty. Location rustic charm. If I lived nearby, I would definitely be there more often.

Cool, relaxed atmosphere, nice and friendly service and delicious drinks! Highly recommended, we'll be back :-)

Good coffee, very nice staff and pleasant atmosphere!

Absolute recommendation! Fast and friendly service & great selection of drinks! Very satisfied and I'll be back.

Sehr guter Café und netter französischer Flair. Die Musik ergänzt ausgezeichnet die Atmosphäre. Ich hatte die Penne mit mediterranem Gemüse. Ein kreativer und sehr leckerer Twist. Man sitzt sehr schön und die Bedienung war freundlich. Die Toiletten sind sauber. Alles in allem wird einem ein schöner und angenehmer Aufenthalt ermöglicht !

Very nice bistro with French flair. My cappuccino was excellent. The pasta with grilled vegetables and feta cheese is creative and tasty. My rhubarb cake was rich and delicious. If you are hungry in the city or want to have a leisurely coffee, this bistro is definitely recommended. The music is also very pleasant and supports the good atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Very cozy and cool staff. Everything went really quickly and you could still relax. Best Aperol I've ever had and the food is to die for

Food very tasty, service very nice and attentive! We'd love to come back!!!!

Very friendly staff and very tasty food. It's a pleasure! ❤️

The kitchen was open longer for us and made great salads. Great ambience and freaky songs.

Nice atmosphere and great service!

Beautiful atmosphere, always happy!

This evening we had coffee in the bistro and the service was super friendly and attentive. Getting such great service & delicious coffee just before the end of the day absolutely deserves a good rating ♥️

Simply perfect – absolute recommendation! We had a baby shower party at Binockel Restaurant today and it was absolutely fantastic! A big thank you to the team for allowing us to decorate and design the location according to our ideas - that made everything even more personal. The location was perfect and the ambience was simply beautiful. The food was a highlight: super tasty and lovingly prepared – a treat for everyone! A special thank you goes to the warm and attentive waitress and the great manager who supported us so well. You can simply feel that people work here with passion. I can recommend the Binockel with a pure heart - whether for celebrations or a cozy visit to a restaurant. Thank you for this unforgettable day! Thanks Ozy

The most beautiful café bistro in Mannheim. An institution for decades! Very good food and service under new management. We always enjoy being there 😀

Great cafe, great ambience and friendly staff. Would love to come back.

Wurde als Gast trotz fast leerem Restaurant lange nicht beachtet. Die Herren waren zu sehr mit dem Säubern der Theke befasst. Als ich dann ohne Essensbestellung das Lokal verließ wurde mir Hausverbot erteilt. Mein Getränk hatte ich natürlich bezahlt.

Great ambience and nice service. Great menu...

We received very attentive and friendly service, also had a very nice conversation with the new operator (kind regards at this point), and are pleased that one of our Mannheim all-time favorites is now so beautiful again, as well as the place and its history Mannheim's oldest bistro will once again be run in a fair and appropriately traditional manner. Keep it up! We are already looking forward to the terrace season on the “Best outdoor terrace in Mannheim”!

After a Sunday breakfast with my sister, we were looking for a place where we could have a good time both visually and pleasantly, and we came across this cute place. They were very attentive and friendly when getting advice on drinks. The decor and the guests inside were great. We sat there for so long that I can’t remember the names of one of the 2 ladies working, but I would like to thank both her and Budascu, who hosted us with his pleasant conversation and always smiling face, with whom we chatted from time to time, and send my love. I will visit again soon and now I have a friend there, dear Budascu ☺️

Everything was perfect :)the food the atmosphere and the Romanian bartender Raluca was the best :)thank you and cant wait to be back for a special evening :)

Nice restaurant with a historical flair, great service and good breakfast.

Fast service, good coffee, friendly service

I was there on 12/21/24 with a group of friends because we had a special event. The location is very stylish and decorated in a very old fashioned jazz bar style. Truly spectacular. Very competent waiters and bartenders. Hence the 5 stars.

Very courteous service, very attentive, Rana and Laetitia kept an eye on everything and at the same time served me in a more friendly manner. All in all a great evening here ❤️

Relaxed atmosphere, very nice service and clean toilets ;)

Very pleasant vibe, nice service and above all delicious food. :)

Prices for a big city are top. Very nice atmosphere. Very cozy and very pleasant. The service is very friendly.

The latte macchiato is the best in all of Mannheim!

Best café or even a beer in the evening

Delicious hot chocolate and delicious cafes

I drank 2 delicious warm chocolates here. Very nice conditions and the boss is also great

The Binokel restaurant in Mannheim impresses with its charming ambience and a diverse menu. The extensive breakfast menu is a particular highlight. The food is tastefully prepared and the drinks menu offers a good selection of wines, beers and specialty coffees. The service is friendly and accommodating. Overall, the Binokel is a recommendable place for cozy breakfasts or relaxed evenings in the heart of Mannheim.

Very cold there and the prices differ greatly from the website. They should be updated as soon as possible. Breakfast was ok

always great! see you next time

Centrally located, with over 80 years of building history! It has always been a special meeting place for all age groups - we were completely thrilled

Very nice service staff, they left the kitchen open longer so that I could eat something. Great cuties

We had breakfast there with 12 people shortly before Christmas. The reservation worked perfectly. Price-performance ratio was very good. The breakfast tasted excellent, the service was great. We can recommend the café without hesitation.

A great experience! The food was excellent. The service was attentive, friendly and professional. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting. I'll definitely be back 🤗

Super nice service and bartender. Food delicious. Always happy.

Delicious food and great service, I always enjoy coming here and are never disappointed, highly recommended!

Great service!! The waitress was great! I'll definitely come back!

Super delicious cake. Good coffee and top service. Especially open on Christmas Day when many others were open!

Very great restaurant, delicious food, great coffee and good drinks in the evening too. Friendly staff and a very nice, rustic atmosphere. Always worth a visit!

Sehr schönes Lokal Einrichtung Service Getränke super Besonders haben uns die deutschen Gerichte begeistert Ist schwer mittlerweile in Deutschland deutsch Essen zu gehen :)

Very good selection of food and drinks and top service

Unglaublich Einrichtung Fast 1 Jahrhundert alt Hervorragendes Essen Super Personal Wer sich in Mannheim befindet muss ins Binokel kommen Vetraut mir😘✌️

I love staying here. Very pleasant and warm atmosphere. No feeling of rush, no matter how full the restaurant is. The food also tastes very good. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Finally you can go to the pinochle again! The store is unique. Great service, delicious food, fantastic location and ambience! A MUST if you are in Mannheim!!!

Great atmosphere and great atmosphere, very good music and the staff are all very friendly, definitely recommended👍

We were there on Saturday evening and felt very comfortable. The waitresses were all very nice and the bartender Ozzy was great! We'd love to come back.

The staff is very friendly and warm ❤️ And the food was super delicious, I will definitely come here more often ❣️ The drink selection is also great 🍷 Really highly recommended 👍🏻

Schon als ich eintrat, fühlte ich mich sogleich empfangen. Rundherum angenehmes Ambiente . Ich fühlte mich als Frau gut aufgehoben und werde dort immer wieder hingehen, weil ich dort Menschen begegnete, mit denen ein guter Austausch stattfand. Danke.

Ignore the 4.x stars. It doesn't make sense to find angels on ceiling and wall paintings in there for free. The espresso is worth its weight in gold.

The food was super tasty. The waitress Finja always has a smile on her face and is great with her guests. It's fun to go here. Gladly again and again.

Non-smoking cafe, cakes very fresh 👌

Absolutely not recommended. The boss also fails humanly on an entire level and should not be supported.

Quaint location in Mannheim. The food is completely okay. The service was friendly. Unfortunately it was bitterly cold that evening, especially on my legs. It blows through the front door like pike soup. I would have liked to stay seated longer but it wasn't possible.

Very nice staff and an excellent espresso 👍

I had an appointment there with a friend at 4 p.m. last Saturday. Unfortunately, the food wasn't good at all and I noticed the way the employees interacted with each other was very negative. The waitress, who was in her mid-30s, was totally rude and disrespectful towards her employees. She was inattentive and just sat there. This is what you see as a guest and it ruins your image. The drinks and coffee were very tasty.

Unfortunately I have to edit my review. I was there for dinner on Saturday lunchtime. The lunch menu is only valid from Monday to Friday but was still attached to the menu. Next week's lunch menu was already written up in front of the restaurant. Also not valid yet. Advertising signs on the street advertised foods that didn't exist. When ordering a König Ludwig Weissbier, you first ask for yeast or crystal. Then a cyclist is brought. I thought I was wrong and paid attention to the bartender the next time I ordered. I saw him mix soda into the beer. The person sitting next to me also ordered a wheat beer. I pointed out this mistake to the waiter. He then talked to the bartender and he seemed to have denied it. I then compared my beer with that of my neighbor - oh wonder, mine was much lighter. For the sake of completeness: since the beer was three quarters full when I paid, the waiter noticed my displeasure and offered me two espressos (for my wife and me) to make up for it. That was 5 years ago: Brilliant place for a nightcap while shopping

Nice long-established café/bistro in Mannheim city center. The selection of cakes is limited, but appears to be homemade. The coffee and TV selection is good, the service is attentive. Small warm snacks are also offered.

Always worth a visit! Let yourself be carried away by the atmosphere and enjoy it. I've never eaten anything before, everything looks delicious and smells good. The cake selection is great!

The consistency of potato soup was like paste. It only tasted good with tons of salt and pepper. Every Bags of soup are better. Toilet could be checked more often, no toilet paper not to mention cleanliness. The only positive point was the service. The binoculars used to be better

Original decor and friendly staff; I came all the way from Heidelberg again. The "Le Bistro" breakfast was cheap, but surprisingly carelessly prepared. Especially for such a traditional restaurant!

Unfortunately, we were very disappointed with our visit to the pinochle. My friend ordered “The English Man,” which included a mixed bread basket, and I chose one of the egg dishes, two scrambled eggs with bacon, which included a crispy roll. However, in the end we only received a bread basket with two crispy rolls for both dishes. When we asked the waitress about it, she promised to take care of it, but we didn't see her after that. She didn't even come to us during the entire breakfast, nor was it possible to wave her over. We ended up having to finish breakfast without additional bread, otherwise the food would have gotten cold. The waitress seemed quite overwhelmed that morning, which was probably because she was the only waitress. Nevertheless, the service should not suffer so much. The portions were also disappointing: the bacon in both dishes consisted of just two tiny slices, which looked as if a slice from the package had been cut in half. Overall, a disappointing experience that put a damper on the start of the weekend.

Great place to stop by for a coffee or delicious meal. Super nice service and nice atmosphere!!

I always enjoy coming to Binokel, especially when I feel like eating tarte flambée. The restaurant impresses with its calm atmosphere with a touch of bohemianism and a stylish Art Deco accent. This is a great place to enjoy a glass of wine.

Waited 15 minutes for coffee, lukewarm. When paying, you were first told that no card payment for less than €10 was possible. So 9.60 was rounded up to €10. And then they said that they didn't think that they would order so little that they wouldn't even be able to pay with a card. WHAT? Service is different!

Nice ambience, attractive menu and friendly, dedicated service.

Nice location, with a great ambience. The breakfast is quite good here and the service creates a good atmosphere. Stopped in today for a nightcap and had two delicious, creamy coffees with milk. Always nice here. Also extremely cute accompanying program... ❤️❤️❤️

Good breakfast, good coffee, great service

A great discovery in the city center of Mannheim! Nice and warm café next to the Planken. Possibility of eating while having a drink. Concert evenings on Wednesdays. A special thank you to the waitress from 09/11/2024 in the evening for her kindness and welcome! Vielen dank!

Beautiful ambience. The ceilings and pictures inside are very original. The food tasted great, the service was also very friendly and accommodating. Again and again

Friendly service. Very good food... 👍 👍 👍 🌹

Super delicious food, you can tell that everything is made fresh and the chef should keep it up. Ambience very nice. Come again.

The drinks especially the cocktails 🥰 the food is all great 🤩 The service👍 the staff very friendly The atmosphere inside is very nice One of my favorite shops 👍

Nice bistro on a side street in the pedestrian zone.

Nice cafe, friendly service Everything 👍

I've been there twice for breakfast and everything was always good. The staff and the boss are very nice. I will definitely come back.

Tips Bistro, ideal for breakfast before shopping.

Impossible service! Takes forever, inattentive, clumsy, unhygienic. It can no longer be compared with the pinochle from before. A pity!

Just chill and enjoy. Always my pleasure . New team at the start and believe me it will get even better soon

Very tasty big burgers. Of course the service was a bit poor, but the gentleman only served alone. It's clear that he can't keep up. But really delicious.

It was ok, but just ok. Anyone who uses whole egg convenience products will only ever produce mediocre quality. Ibis quality scrambled eggs/omelette. A pity…

One of the two waitresses was very unfriendly and neither of them wanted to bring us the special offers at the listed price. We were repeatedly told that we didn't understand the menu properly and that the last paragraph about the Sunday special only refers to the cake, which I don't think makes any sense.

Very nice employees. Great and fast service. Even though the store was full, she was always friendly and helpful. I will gladly come again!

Really interesting shop. Good ambience. Went to the binoculars again on July 3, 2024. Still good. Service was very quick, polite and friendly. We will be back.

Waiting over 2 hours for food is unacceptable
