Blauer Aff in Bensheim

Always worth a visit. Cozy atmosphere, very tasty food and great service. Absolutely recommended!!!

Disturbing (in the courtyard) loud announcements in the kitchen.

As always, the food was super delicious! We really enjoy coming here.

Special location with delicious dishes that you can hardly get anymore. The service was good.

Besondere Lokalität mit leckerem Essen. Es gibt Gerichte, die man kaum noch auf Karten findet, die man aber von Oma's Zeiten her kennt. Mega

Food as always good. May draw a little in the smoking area in winter.

Super cozy & well-kept rustic atmosphere from a long-forgotten time! Very attentive staff, delicious & down-to-earth food at an acceptable price!

A small, nicely furnished restaurant. Rooms are also on the first floor. The food is nicely prepared and there is still a pleasant price-performance ratio. Ruth bourgeois German cuisine is presented.

Nothing works without a reservation, but we always enjoy going to the “Blauer Aff”, cozy atmosphere, very good food and service… Top!!!

Very respected restaurant. Absolutely recommended - a dream from the starter to the dessert 🙂

Wie immer, top Service, leckeres Essen und gemütliche Atmosphäre!! Ich liebe die Klassiker hier aber auch die saisonale Karte bot große Auswahl. Immer wieder gerne

We ate there with a child (3 years old), the service was on point and super friendly! There were also no unpleasant, intrusive questions about other drink requests. The food was great and it was served hot. The kitchen and service also responded very well to our 3 year old's special request. The ambience is absolutely beautiful, rustic but very romantic and lovingly furnished. It wasn't the last time we've been to the "blauen aff" and we're happy to recommend the restaurant.

We have been coming with great enthusiasm for years now! It's so cozy, the food is consistently delicious and the service is very friendly and on the ball. We always go out and have a great evening. So it's not surprising that you should make a reservation in advance, as the monkey is always busy. We are already looking forward to the next time!

Cozy restaurant. Service was a bit disorientated, but in the end everyone had what they ordered and the food was good :-) Solid pub cuisine. The rump stick was large and cooked to the desired degree of doneness. There was just as little to complain about with the schnitzel as there was with the chicken or salad and sheep's cheese. The plates should have been cleared sooner, and a query after the main course as to whether a dessert or a drink was desired was somehow missing.

The Blauer Aff is undoubtedly one of the best culinary restaurants in Hess. Bergstrasse has to offer. The service is friendly and accommodating. In particular, the rump steak Selection Blauer Aff is always cooked to perfection and very tasty!

Always worth a visit. Food and ambience excellent. Reservation required.

We had dinner there on a weekday. I had a really excellent tuna that was baked with a sesame crust. Unfortunately the mashed potatoes were only the green color of wasabi. You couldn't taste wasabi. The salmon tartare with rösti can also be recommended. My Pfungstädter Pils in an ice-cold clay mug was also excellent. For dessert, the classic creme brulee served was convincing. The Mouse au Chocolat wasn't that good. It lacked fluffiness. Overall, a highly recommended restaurant.

We have been guests at the Blauer Aff since 2009. Everything always fits absolutely perfectly. Quality and variety of food, fantastic, friendly, fast service, very good wine selection, absolutely cozy atmosphere, ... always TOP!

Wir waren heute zu zweit im blauen Aff . Ich liebe das Ambiente dort sehr . Die Bedienung ist sehr freundlich und das Essen war gut. Der Nachtisch war leider sehr enttäuschend das Schokoküchlein war kalt und fest und die Mousse au chocolat waren gefrorene Eiskugeln. Echt jetzt ich war so enttäuscht ich liebe Mousse au chocolat und habe diese auch schon oft dort gegessen, aber diese Kreation hat wirklich nichts mit einer Mousse au chocolat zu tun. Unsere Reklamation was denn mit der Mousse au chocolat passiert ist wurde mit einem Schulterzucken 🤷 beantwortet Sehr Schade bei einer Rechnung von 110€ bei 2 Personen.

Everything great as always. Great atmosphere and courteous service.

Wir waren 10 Personen und gleich um 17.30 dort. Es hat alles hervorragend geklappt und das Essen kam für alle gleichzeitig. Bedienung war auch sehr nett und aufmerksam. Wir gehen nächstes Jahr wieder zum Weihnachtsessen in den Blauen Aff.

Unfortunately, the quality of the classic dish, half a chicken, is getting worse and the cucumber salad should be avoided. Constructive feedback is met with silence. Past success is the enemy of future success.

Very cozy and rustic atmosphere. The old half-timbered house is multi-story and has really nice corners. This creates a really cozy atmosphere and it doesn't get too loud, even when the restaurant is full. We were there on December 25th. there for a family dinner. We reserved a table for 5 p.m. and were assigned it straight away. The waitresses were very attentive and quick. All special requests were no problem. We had different dishes at the table. Including cooked cheese schnitzel, lamb's lettuce, sheep's cheese, potato soup, pumpkin soup, chips with herb quark. We were all very satisfied. When the Christmas season is over, the "tinsel" in the corners should just be taken down :-)) Otherwise there was nothing to complain about

Quaint restaurant with delicious food and friendly staff. You have to climb stairs to get to the toilet, which could be problematic for people with limited mobility, but there is no other solution for this historic building

Overall, the food was good, but unfortunately the service was not. Unfortunately, despite the extensive menu, there is not a single main course for vegans.

Great, great, great. We had the goose and the Cesar's salad with roast beef from the season menu. Absolute recommendation. Very tasty and fair prices. Anyone who likes honest food will love the Blue Monkey. Special praise goes to the service staff 👍🏻😃

Wir waren mit 13 Freunden zum Weihnachtsessen. Tolles Essen, sehr schöne Weine, super gemütlich und sehr guter Service. Ein sehr gelungener Abend, den wir sicherlich wiederholen.

Always consistently very good quality, beautiful location and attentive service. We've been coming here for decades and have never been disappointed.

Perfect little restsurant in Auerbach. Very good and cheap food and super nice staff. You shouldn't praise too much because then you'll be even worse off getting a place.

As always, very good service and food of a very high standard!

Delicious food, something for everyone with friendly service and pleasant surroundings. Great cuisine!

Another very delicious Christmas dinner!

A great atmosphere and excellent service keep us coming back again and again. The food is excellent and the price-performance ratio is also very good. My request to get a table in the front area was taken into account when making the reservation. So we were able to spend a great evening in the cozy part of the restaurant with my 85-year-old mother - without having to climb many steps. Many thanks to the whole team!

The food (venison) was good but the price was too high, almost €40 for the minimum portion of meat. The service was quite chaotic and desserts had to wait 20 minutes for two guests to get their dessert.

Very nice atmosphere and delicious food...recommended.

What can I say... we've been eating goose here every year since I was a child and it still tastes great, great ambience and nice service, what more could you want?

We had a very nice evening at the Blauer Aff. The restaurant was very lovingly decorated for Christmas. The service friendly and quick. There was a brief technical problem with the orderman when paying. The food was very good and the kitchen worked super quickly! The price is absolutely okay given the very good performance.

A beautiful location, perfect and courteous service, great food. We can only warmly recommend the Blue Monkey

Full house, but the waitresses are friendly and competent. The food was very tasty, we enjoyed it. There were 10 people there and everyone got their food at once. Will come back.

Christmas party on the first floor. The service staff was very attentive. The food delicious. An all-round successful evening.

A very winding restaurant that has a lot of charm. There is a menu that is always available and one with seasonal dishes, so there should be something for everyone. The service was friendly and very attentive, and special requests (other side dishes) were possible. The food was tasty and of a reasonable size for the price.

Great ambience. Enjoy your meal. Something different. I'd love to come back....😁

Very good food in a great atmosphere

Always a great experience...fantastic food, super nice service and such a cozy atmosphere.

Very friendly and attentive staff. The food is exactly to our taste. We always enjoy coming back.

Delicious food, cozy atmosphere, friendly staff and you can end the beautiful (Saturday) evening undisturbed until after midnight... unfortunately this is no longer a given everywhere, so double praise!

The Blue Monkey in Bensheim is a real eye-catcher with its unique atmosphere and creative cuisine. The restaurant impresses with a modern and cozy atmosphere, which is perfect for a relaxed evening with friends or family. The menu is varied, with a great selection of fresh and tasty dishes - ideal for anyone looking for something special. The service is friendly, attentive and contributes to an all-round successful visit. A place I definitely recommend!

As always, it was super nice and totally delicious. The goose was an absolute dream. We were there for the first time with our 5 month old baby. Right at the beginning we were recommended a somewhat quieter table, which we gratefully accepted. Thank you very much :) we would love to come back.

Great service, food great as always, value for money completely okay. As always, a great evening!!

We went to Aff's with a group of almost 40 people to eat goose. Restaurant manager Ante provided very good food and the portions were more than sufficient! Franzi's service was excellent, so the place got a star - we will be back at our annual culinary event across Germany! Keep it up!

Das Restaurant in der Altstadt von Bensheim Auerbach fällt schon von außen durch seine blaue Fassade ins Auge. Drinnen erwartet einen ein uriges und gemütliches Ambiente mit einer charmanten Mischung aus alter Fachwerkstruktur, niedrigen Decken und viel Holz. Die spezielle Tapete unterstreicht den nostalgischen Charakter und vermittelt das Gefühl, eine kleine Zeitreise in die Vergangenheit zu machen. Der Service ist ausgesprochen freundlich und aufmerksam. Das Personal sorgt dafür, dass man sich rundum wohlfühlt, und die Bedienung ist zügig und professionell. Kulinarisch bietet das Restaurant viel: Mein Kalbschnitzel war hervorragend paniert, dazu perfekt zubereitete Bratkartoffeln – eine Kombination, die ohne Sauce auskommt und dennoch harmonisch abgestimmt ist. Der Salat als Vorspeise war solide, hätte aber etwas kreativer sein können. Der Nachtisch hingegen überzeugte auf ganzer Linie: Das Schokoladenküchlein mit flüssigem Kern war nicht nur geschmacklich ein Highlight, sondern auch optisch ansprechend, dank der Obstdeko. Auch die Hauptspeisen meiner Begleitung – große, frische Salate – waren sehr üppig und ansprechend serviert. Preislich ist das Restaurant absolut angemessen. Das stimmige Gesamtpaket aus Ambiente, Service und hochwertigem Essen rechtfertigt jeden Cent. Ob mit der Familie, als Paar oder bei einem Geschäftsessen – dieses Restaurant ist eine klare Empfehlung.

You need to do a reservation, otherwise it will be very hard to get a table. Very cozy restaurant with a lot of historical and musical decorations. It looks like we are in a different era. The food is great and very well served. The staff is very nice.

Reservation online was carried out very well, all wishes were met.

Leider hat diese bekannte Location, was das Essen angeht, arg verloren. Ich habe, nach längere Zeit mal wieder dort, das Kochkäseschnitzel bestellt und kann, sagen, dass es sehr langweilig war. Die Bratkartoffeln sahen zwar gut aus, stellten sich dann aber als fad und matschig heraus. Das Schnitzel war ebenso langweilig. Dicke Panade, kein wirklicher Geschmack - auch der Kochkäse war nichts besonderes. Das Essen von meiner Begleitung, der Thunfisch mit blumigem Titel, war ebenso nichts besonderes. Du besten Zeiten des Blauen Affen sind lange vorüber. Die Atmosphäre aber bleibt wunderbar.

The blue monkey is awesome. Great wines from the region. The furnishings are very cozy without being kitschy. In the barn, in the courtyard and in the front of the room, a little different everywhere. The very young staff are always on their toes, the food is excellent, “simple” dishes from the region in the standard menu and special delicacies in the seasonal menu. If you weren't there, you missed something, honestly!

Unique ambience and great food! The wine selection is incredible! We had a very successful evening and would love to come back!

The only criticism is that it's usually really loud there.

Wir waren in einer größeren Gruppe mit fast 40 Leuten. Ich kann nur sagen von der Location über das Personal bis zum Essen alles fünf Sterne Superfreundliches Personal, Mega leckeres Essen sehr ausgefallenes Ambiente

It was like always again. Friendly service, good food and the atmosphere in the Blaue Aff is cozy anyway

Unfortunately, smoking is permitted indoors in a covered area

Rump steak 10/10. I can't do any better

Highly recommended. The food is very tasty. The prices are very reasonable for such delicious food

Ein sehr schöner Abend mit unseren Freunde aus Hannover. Toller Wein 🍷 und gutes Essen und eine sehr aufmerksame Bedienung.

It was once again nice all around: very nice ambience in an antique furnished restaurant, very tasty down-to-earth food and very nice service. We'd love to come back!

Quaint restaurant with really great food. Even though it was very busy, we were served quickly and professionally. Extremely recommended. However, you should definitely make a reservation. It is usually very well attended

A beautiful ambience, excellent cuisine, the staff is very friendly, but could be a little more attentive. Well, everyone has a bad day. Still highly recommended and we would love to come back 👍😃. Reservation is an advantage! Kind regards from Kaiserslautern 👍😀

We had a really wonderful evening. The restaurant was very busy, but you didn't notice that at all when it came to service. The service was super friendly, always there and absolutely quick. The food was very great, starter, main course and dessert everything was very tasty. And the ambience is simply particularly beautiful.

The service and the food were very good 👍, but the volume of the surrounding tables was incredibly loud. We didn't understand our own words and left immediately after eating... What a shame!!!

Ambiente: Das Restaurant in Bensheim bietet eine gemütliche und einladende Atmosphäre. Die Einrichtung ist stilvoll. Essen und Trinken: Die Auswahl an Speisen und Getränken ist vielfältig und von hoher Qualität. Besonders das Kochkäs-Schnitzel ist ein Highlight. Service: Der Service ist äußerst zuvorkommend und aufmerksam. Fazit: Ein Besuch im Restaurant in Bensheim ist immer ein Genuss. Die Kombination aus hervorragendem Service und qualitativ hochwertigen Speisen macht es zu einem empfehlenswerten Ort für ein entspanntes Essen.

Definitely one of our absolute favorite restaurants! The Blue Monkey offers a very special atmosphere through its many rooms and areas. Each with a different theme. Whether in the barn, the music room or the courtyard, you can immerse yourself in the rustic charm here! The food and service is excellent every time. The parking situation is always a bit difficult, but you accept it in order to be able to enjoy it.

Very good food and perfect service

Very good restaurant with nice ambiance and delicious German special dishes, superb

A very nice excursion restaurant in the beautiful Odenwald. The wine list is remarkable. A few points of criticism about the food: The duck breast was not particularly cooked, the taste was at best a grade 3, my expectations were higher here! The roast venison was burnt, which only the dark sauce could hide from the outside. But overall the overall impression was good. The kitchen definitely needs to be improved here.

First of all: reservation is highly recommended What a great evening we had yesterday! Great food, great ambience, great atmosphere, great service... This could go on for hours. Many thanks to the lovely team! We'll definitely be back very soon

I always enjoy going here! Very cozy and delicious.

Old-established restaurant...Consistently good...cozy atmosphere, down-to-earth food, very good wines. All in all, highly recommended.

The monkey always remains our first choice!

How was it you ask me 🤔 my answer: "SUUUUUUUPER" 👍👍👍👍

Delicious food and very nice ambience!

Great atmosphere where you'll want to go again. Nice service, you'll be happy to go there again. Good food with a varied menu - everyone should find something - and you can find something new on your next visit! Oh yes, the online reservation system also works great.

Great ambience, very good food and friendly service. We always enjoy coming to the Blauer Aff.

The restaurant “Blauer Aff” in Bensheim offers a cozy, rustic atmosphere, even if the seating is a little less inviting for a longer stay. The staff was consistently friendly and tried very hard. There were a few culinary highlights: We were particularly impressed by the rib-eye steak, which was of the highest quality and preparation. The sweet potato fries were also a real treat. The pumpkin tortellini, although tasty, could have used a firmer consistency as the filling was very creamy. The tarte flambée with goat cheese and figs, on the other hand, was completely convincing, although a touch of lemon thyme would have made the taste of the figs a little more intense. A small point that caught our attention was the delayed serving of the food - not only to us, but also to many other tables. The dishes came at different intervals, which somewhat marred the otherwise pleasant evening. The prices are fair, but the dessert at the end was a bit disappointing: the chocolate cake had no liquid center and the cream seemed unseasoned. The apple crumble was also too buttery and could have used a fresher note. All in all, it was still a nice visit to the “Blauer Aff”, and we would be happy to come back to continue to enjoy the positive aspects!

We once again felt very comfortable here. Friendly staff, delicious food and all at good value for money. Top recommendation!

If I want to celebrate with friends, I go to the Blauer Aff and celebrate with friends. You can see the celebratory mood not only at our table, but also at the other tables and at the service you can see the happy faces. Thanks

Today we spontaneously went to the Blue Monkey and were lucky that the three of us got a place. I had an excellent time at the Blue Monkey! The service was attentive and friendly, and the food was simply fantastic - every bite was a delight. The ambience is cozy and inviting, perfect for a relaxing evening. I can only warmly recommend this place!

A traditional, traditional wine bar with a great atmosphere.

A special and beautiful place. The old house radiates a very special warmth. Always decorated differently depending on the season, there is always something for the eye to discover. The food always varies seasonally depending on the products, although the regular menu always includes great classics. And what is definitely true here is the fact that the chef knows her craft. This is where good products mixed with craft skills and the joy of food come together. The result is always very good. There is also a great selection of wines and so far we have always received good advice and the service also knew what was good. We have experienced it differently and are of course happy if we can experience it differently here. It's always wild here! Plus the great savoy cabbage vegetables - a dream. My husband, a Saarlander, always goes home happy here - and that's saying something.😉

The rustic atmosphere is worth a visit! The only thing that surpasses the delicious food is the super nice service! Great and keep it up!

Adorable little gem with great food and an amazing atmosphere. Cozy, traditional interior on three floors and delicious food makes you wonder if this I the house of the Weasley’s from Harry Potter.

Whenever visitors come from the Netherlands, I take them to the Blue Monkey. The ambience is simply great and the food is some of the best German cuisine I have ever tasted. My favorites are the cooked cheese schnitzel, the chocolate cake with a liquid center as dessert and the Rosanne as a drink.

The portions were very sufficient and the food was very tasty. It's worth taking a look at the season ticket.

It's always nice in the Blue Monkey. The staff is consistently very friendly and on the ball. The food was very tasty... Saumagen with savoy cabbage & fried potatoes. The price-performance ratio is still right here.

A very rustic restaurant where you feel comfortable and receive a friendly welcome. The inner garden is beautifully decorated. The cooked cheese with music as a starter tasted very tasty. For the main course, the breaded schnitzel was of good quality. However, the fried potatoes were quite bland and there were no condiments on the table either. The cucumber salad served with it could have used a little more salt, but it was still good.

Wow Wow Wow! You can't get more enthusiasm than that. 1A service, fantastic food, unique ambience!

Super Location, Top Top Service & Essen

Cozy, beautiful courtyard and the best cooked cheese schnitzel far and wide

Very tasty Hessian home cooking at reasonable prices in a wonderfully rustic atmosphere! We'll be back!

Very tasty food, large selection, friendly service team, rustic, cozy atmosphere. Very good value for money.

Small but nice menu. Great decorated rooms. Delicious food, very clean and very attentive and friendly service. We would love to come back.

Beim „Blauen Aff“ werden wir nie enttäuscht 😊 Einer der besten und vor allem auch „kultigsten“ Lokale hier im Umkreis (zumindest für uns); einfach saugemütlich, urig, 109% Wohlfühlfaktor, allesamt sehr freundlich und das Essen sehr lecker. Wir haben wieder einmal was von der Saisonkarte genommen, die regelmäßig saisonbedingt wechselt, diesmal waren es die Pfifferlinge. Tolle Gerichte, auch auf der „festen“ Speisekarte - regional, hessisch, vegan, etc., für jede/n was dabei. Wir kommen wieder, gar keine Frage, wir bleiben gerne weiterhin dem „Blauen Aff“ treu. Unbedingt Reservierung, da (fast) immer voll!
