Brasserie ZUR SIM in Trier

Eines der besten Restaurants in Trier! Besonders wenn man regionale Küche und frische Meeresfrüchte mag. Auch die Terrasse mit dem Blick auf die Porta Nigra zählt zu den schönsten der Stadt.

Top Service Top Essen Super Ausblick Einfach alles toll Nettes Personal Kann man nur empfehlen Jeder Zeit wieder wenn wir in Trier sind

Great location, food is amazing and service super friendly. A must stop when u in Trier.

Food is impeccable. I recently had the roulade, which was a dream. The store is very nice and stylishly decorated. Above all, you have a great view of Porta Nigra Square from above. The service is very nice and seems very professional. I think the prices are a bit too high, hence only 4 stars

Had dinner here with a large group. Orders were taken quickly, drinks arrived quickly and the food was very good. Definitely recommended.

Ganz hervorragend - von Anfang bis Ende. Sehr zuvorkommendes Personal, leckeres Essen zu wirklich absolut fairen Preisen in bester Lage und schönen Ambiete. Absolute Empfehlung!

Great food, especially if you like things from the sea. A bit noisy when full. But gladly again at any time. The waitresses are all super friendly too.

Cozy inn, a little louder. Delicious food, attentive and friendly staff.

So… service, was good friendly the only minus that they don’t ask the degree of doneness of meat. But it’s okay. Food. Each of three salats that I ordered was too sour. Unfortunately, the taste of the schnitzel wasn’t very good; the batter had a strong fishy flavor, but the meat itself was good. Drinks. I ordered red and white wine, and in my subjective opinion, they were ok. Leaving there, I was sad.

Absolutely don’t recommend. We have 3 different dishes ordered, including salads. All 3 dishes had the same salad and the same dressing. Dressing is veeeery sour, no way to finish the salad. The veal schnitzel... it seemed like they had fried some fish in the deep fryer before it, because the batter had a strong fishy taste. Besides that, the waiter mixed up the order a bit, even though he asked twice about what I wanted with the dish. But that's the least of the problems, I can forgive the waiter, but not the chef! It feels like they played a cruel joke on me. The portions seemed so large, but it was impossible to finish because the salads were horribly sour, and the main course was just a disappointment.

Wir hatten uns mittags einen Sekt dort gegoennt, da uns der Blick auf die Porta Nigra so gefallen hat. Nachdem wir das Essen bei anderen Gaesten gesehen haben, haben wir fuer abends einen Tisch reserviert. Und es hat sich wirklich gelohnt. Normalerweise wuerde man ja eine Touristenfalle erwarten in der Location, aber definitiv nicht. Eine tolle Karte mit sehr unterschiedlichen Speisen (viel auf Fisch basiert), sehr gute Qualitaet der Produkte, Preis-Leistungs-Verhaeltnis angemessen, tolle Weine aus der Region und ein sehr zuvorkommendes Personal. Immer wieder💖

Nach einem Konzert der Band New Model Army im angrenzenden Brunnenhof sind wir für ein paar Drinks in die Sim. Es war ein lauer Sommerabend, sodass wir froh waren, auf der gut besuchten Terrasse noch einen Platz draußen zu bekommen. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und die Drinks haben sehr gut geschmeckt. Direkt an der Porta Nigra konnten wir den Abend gemütlich ausklingen lassen. Eine tolle Atmosphäre. Schön war auch, dass wir hier noch die Band gesehen haben.

Very good traditional cuisine. We've never been disappointed and we'll be back. The service that evening was great again, very friendly and accommodating and very funny. Thank you very much,…. That's why we would be the last ones in the restaurant again. 😃

We ate on the terrace with 6 people on Saturday evening and were very satisfied. Great location with a view of the Porta Nigra. Very tasty starters and main courses were all top. Good local wine list at drinking-friendly prices. Even though everything was fully booked, the service was super friendly and attentive. Despite its location on the Porta, there are also a lot of Trier residents visiting the area. We'd love to come back. Good shop with delicious food and very good service.

Very friendly service, great ambience (food with a view of the Porta Nigra), excellent cuisine (e.g. "Wild Flammkuchen", tagliatelle with chanterelles, starter plates, salads...) Fair prices - no tourist scam (as is unfortunately often the case in such exposed places), good wines. SUPER!!!

Worst service and most rude waiters ever.

Nice atmosphere, very tasty food and finally waiters where you can tell that they have the place under control

Really a shame to add this note, knowing that it's a restaurant that I've heard a lot of good things about. Of course we had not reserved a table, it was really unexpected. As soon as we arrived, we saw that there was plenty of free space! Some tables had the reserved sign, but others did not! Many customers were usually 2 to a table of 4 people. While there is enough space! Fortunately, we were able to eat in another restaurant that had a sense of hospitality!

A decent place to enjoy views of the Porta Nigra IF they let you in 😅 Often very busy so you're lucky to be let in without a reservation if you decide to visit spontaneously. Good selection of drinks and food. Young girl behind the outdoor bar kept my change until I politely asked for it back. This is not common practice in Germany so not sure why this happened. Service is hit and miss. Some staff are very friendly, others not so much.

The most beautiful terrace in Trier with a view of the Porta. The food is super tasty and always freshly prepared. Great mix of locals and tourists. We are locals and love staying here at any time of the year. The service staff is extremely friendly, courteous and quick. Always happy 👌

Hier waren wir schon sehr oft. Die Lage ist perfekt, Essen und Service auch. Ob ein schnelles Schnitzel beim Einkaufen, Besuch mit Gästen denen man die Porta zeigen will, Event mit Blick auf Porta Nigra Konzerte oder auch Dinner zu zweit mit Hummer usw oder auch nur ein Glas Wein oder Pilz: In der Sim bekommt man immer was man erwartet und das perfekt und freundlich zu anständigen Preisen. Die Weinauswahl ist super und das ganze einfach, simpel, ungezwungen und dennoch exklusiv. Eines der besten Lokale in der Stadt.

The Sim Brasserie in Trier, directly at the Porta Nigra, impresses with its excellent location and pleasant atmosphere. Unfortunately the drinks didn't live up to our expectations. We ordered a red grape juice and a Coke Zero. However, the grape juice turned out to be just Granini juice, which is disappointing in a region like this - we would have expected a regional juice here. The cola was also non-carbonated. What should be highlighted positively is that the drinks were served well chilled. Overall a solid experience, but there is room for improvement.

We got stuck on "a" cyclist on Tuesday afternoon and asked if it would still be possible to reserve a table for the evening. The team said it was just a matter of luck and we were lucky. It was a great evening all around, great food, the service was great, the view of the Porta Nigra was amazing. The food, drinks and the team left nothing to be desired. Meeega Many thanks to the great team. If it's right, we'll definitely come back. And presto, we cheated back in on Wednesday. Awesome Gordon Bleu and Wiener Schnitzel Meeeeega Absolute top address

Wir besuchten das Restaurant zum ersten Mal und waren alle (6Per.) begeistert. Das Ambiente auf der Terrasse war phänomenal. Die Porta Nigra im Blick und das Wetter phantastisch. Die Bestellungen wurde von den Servicekräften kompetent und zuvorkommend erledigt. Die gereichte Speisen waren alle geschmacklich sehr gut und entsprachen einer gehobenen Qualität. Das Preisleistungsverhältnis geht voll in Ordnung. Wir waren sehr zufrieden und werden wieder kommen.

I've already tried a lot of different things. Steak, salads and also the seafood cake stand. Everything is really well prepared. One of the few stores where I was never disappointed even with guests. Of course it's also in a fantastic location and if you get a place outside then that's really nice. Great, friendly but also professional service, great store.

Top locatie naast porta nigra. Mooi terras en lekker eten. Fijne stoelen. Bediening was ook vriendelijk en alles kwam snel

Cozy sitting area with a beautiful view of the Porta Nigra. Smooth operation by sufficient staff.

A must when visiting Trier. Great food at a good price. The ambience is also right and the service is extremely friendly and accommodating.

Great service, excellent wine list and top dishes. We felt very comfortable all around. We recommend

The food was delicious, the starters were delicious😋 The service was attentive, quick and made everyone have fun 😜 The atmosphere is cozy. There is an extra smoking area outside on the terrace with patio heaters and fur blankets Everything is ok in terms of price 👍 Thank you very much, we had a great Christmas party 🎄🎁🥂🍾 I can only recommend the restaurant and I will be back ❤️

Unfriendly service, food rather mediocre at high prices. We expected more based on the good reviews. What a shame.

We always enjoy coming here, good food, super friendly service. Always a nice experience

We reserved a table for 4 people 2 weeks ago, but then had to cancel 2 places at short notice. When we arrived at the restaurant we were assigned a small table directly between the bar and the kitchen. Impossible to enjoy your food here. From what it looked like, it was actually a table for temporary storage for the waitresses, to which two chairs were quickly placed. The employee who was responsible for allocating tables was very unfriendly and, according to him, no alternative was possible. All other free tables are reserved. But the worst thing about it was that he couldn't apologize. Completely unprofessional. We left hungry; We will never enter this restaurant again.

Well... we did wait 1.5 hours for our lunch (Fish soup and Ceasars salad). Pretty odd that the kitchen forgot our order twice, since the restaurant recommended the fish soup.... Once we got our food, the (recommended) fish soup basket was tasty, but the octopus was like rubber, a mussel was bad and there was only one piece of fish in it. In the Ceasar salate the chicken was fried on one side, like it had been forgotten on the fryer. The chicken was dry and extremely salty and overpowered the salad and dressing. We can speculate on the reasons for this, but I think that the kitchen should answer for themselves.

Very unmotivated, unfriendly staff Somehow they didn't understand what customer service meant Food was good

Beautiful bar, restaurant, with views of a historical monument. Very kindly attended in German and English. I only drank one beer, that's why I don't rate the food, but it seems to me that with a small beer at almost 4 euros they should add some peanuts or some olives.

Nice little restaurant. Great outdoor area. Toilets and the path to them could use some attention. Definitely make a reservation!

Sehr lecker gegessen Rumpsteak sehr gut gewürzt und richtig gebraten, wie bestellt. Die portugiesischen Krabben ein Genuss. Sehr aufmerksamer Service

Leider keine Empfehlung meinerseits. Zum Essen ist zu sagen, dass die Karte ein paar interessante Alternativen zu den Standardgerichten aufweist, ich mich aber für einen Klassiker entschieden hatte. Als Vorspeise wählte ich einen Brotkorb. Leider war die Kräuterbutter so hart, dass man sie nicht wirklich essen konnte. Offensichtlich hatte man meine Hauptspeise vergessen, sodass ich nach einer weiteren halben Stunde darauf hingewiesen habe. Kein Wort der Entschuldigung. Dann musste es offensichtlich schnell gehen, denn das bestellte Champignonsrahmschnitzel war im mittleren Teil noch roh und so habe ich mich entschlossen, den Rest nicht mehr zu essen. Das Ambiente bewerte ich positiv. Besonders der Blick auf die Porta ist etwas ganz besonderes.

Unfortunately, no recommendation from me. Regarding the food, it should be said that the menu has a few interesting alternatives to the standard dishes, but I opted for a classic. As a starter I chose a bread basket. Unfortunately the herb butter was so hard that you couldn't really eat it. Apparently they had forgotten my main course, so I pointed it out after another half hour. Not a word of apology. Then obviously it had to be done quickly because the middle part of the mushroom cream schnitzel I ordered was still raw and so I decided not to eat the rest. I rate the ambience positively. The view of the porta is particularly special.

Great location right in front of Porta Nigra. Excellent selection of dishes. If you just want to have a drink outside, there are small tables with a bench. So there is enough space for people who want to eat. Great idea. The food is very good.

Delicious specialties from Trier

The food was super delicious! Good service, nice restaurant...but the prices are a bit excessive, so a star deduction.

The food was, as always, very tasty. Unfortunately, due to the weather, you couldn't sit on the beautiful terrace and inside it was quite crowded and the atmosphere was a bit loud. My highlight, however, was the super nice waitress who served us with her charm and humor and responded to our wishes. Thank you very much for that 😊

Schnitzel with pepper sauce quite good and very hearty, served with a good fresh salad and fries. The crémant was also good, the crème brûlée was also plentiful (served with a scoop of ice cream) The waiters and waitresses are smiling and pleasant. Good restaurant, good cuisine without fuss.

After a day of cycling, we had dinner at the SIM brasserie. We kept it to a main course because more was not necessary. Our conclusion was that the kitchen team had prepared us a tasty plate. The service was adequate. And the price quality was okay. Feel free to stick a fork.

Top location and we were welcome even for just one drink. The menu promises some delicious dishes, but in this brasserie there were no petit fours or tartelettes. The service could be a little more professional. - Still a recommendation!

Very good food, the selection was extensive and sometimes something different, not just the standard dishes (e.g. wild boar sausage). The staff was very nice and accommodating. Only the volume in the next room was a bit loud due to the other guests, the room is very noisy.

We were given the cold shoulder when we just came for a drink. Were assigned a table and told to leave within half an hour. Ridiculous.

We spontaneously drank something and stayed seated because the food looked so good, which was also confirmed, price performance in this location was completely okay

Hier stimmt einfach alles. Von dem sehr aufmerksamen und freundlichen Personal bis zu den überragenden Speisen. Meine Frau und ich haben direkt einen Tisch für den nächsten Abend reserviert.

Very delicious cut of meat 🥩 and very tasty potatoes 🥔 very nice atmosphere and with an excellent view of the black door 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽

As this place is so close to the major tourist site in Trier we were hesitant to go there since we feared it would be the typical tourist trap. Since our hunger over took our fears we entered anyway. In the four nights we stayed in Trier we ate here four times! Lunch a couple of times and twice for dinner. This is saying a lot as we come to Europe for the food first. Nothing we ordered disappointed. Great menu with multiple choices. We were seated a couple of times without reservations but after the second time we always made reservations so as not to miss out.

Good food, good service. Well located. Just the Cordon Bleu was not tasting that good, it was ok. But the schnitzel and flammkuchen were great

Treating people with respect is apparently a foreign concept in the store

Friendly staff, sunny terrace and delicious Flammkuchen. I highly recommend this place when you’re visiting Trier

Bad service, I didn't expect that.

The atmosphere at Brasserie ZUR was unwelcoming, with the staff appearing unfriendly and disinterested in providing good service. This lack of hospitality made the dining experience uncomfortable and unpleasant.

Waste of money, not worth at all to visit although they have a nice outside area

Just drank coffee and everything was ok

Out of a possible five, I would prefer to give half, i.e. 2.5 stars - since this is not possible, the tendency is towards two rather than three stars. Half of the food was very good, the other half was unfortunately a total failure. My girlfriend and I were there for dinner. She had a Viennese veal schnitzel with French fries and salad - I had half the grilled lobster, also with French fries and salad. Maybe first with our two salads - they were very large as side salads, well mixed and the dressing was tasty. Neither of us had anything wrong with the French fries. My lobster seemed fresh, was well grilled and also very tasty. So far everything went well for me – so I had a very good dinner. Unfortunately, my friend’s Viennese veal schnitzel was a “total failure”. It started with the limp breading (tasteless, somehow not fully fried, slightly floury) and ended with the disastrous meat. My friend let me try it - if I hadn't known, I would have guessed tough pork, but not veal. When I wanted to cut the schnitzel, I couldn't really get through with the fork, so cutting the meat was a real effort. When you removed the breading you could also see the many fibers. My friend also got a piece of cartilage. And that for a veal schnitzel that costs just under 28 euros. It wasn't edible, so she gave up after a few bites. To be fair, we were offered coffee or alcohol as compensation - but we declined. We were then given our two drinks (a non-alcoholic beer and a Sprite). That's meant kindly - but the evening with a nice meal was already over for my friend. And if it “ruins” the girlfriend’s evening – then the evening was no longer the best for me. Conclusion. Grilled lobster was good. Veal schnitzel was inedible and so tough it was inedible. The discount of around 8-9 euros for the drinks was nice - but in the end we still paid 20 euros for a completely inedible schnitzel, including a friend who couldn't enjoy her dinner. We get three points for the ambience because the decor is very nice and the seating is very comfortable. Deduction - because it is very loud in the restaurant. That's because of the guests and not the staff.

Very tasty food, friendly, courteous and fast service, even when it's busy, view of Porta Nigra, outdoor terrace in good weather

Wir haben hier gestern zu sechst einen tollen Abend verbracht. Zunächst war ich etwas skeptisch, ob bei dieser Lage- Blick auf die Porta Nigra - nicht "Touri Abzocke " geboten wird, aber diese Sorge war absolut unbegründete. Die Küche bietet sowohl klassische deutsche Küche als auch wirklich tolle französische Gerichte. Die Meeresfrüchte Platten sahen phantastisch aus (leider darf ich wegen einer Allergie weder Muscheln noch Austern essen, was ich gestern mal wieder sehr bedauert habe). Vorspeisen grandios, die Bulot ( Wellhornschnecken) phantastisch, wie in der Bretagne. Dreierlei vom Wildschwein ebenfalls sehr gut,die gemischte Platte und die rosa Garnelen-alles perfekt. Es folgten die Beilagen Salate mit ausgezeichnetem Dressing. Sämtliche Hauptgänge richtig gut,ausgezeichnet die Kalbsfrikadelle mit gratiniertem Ziegenkäse, aber auch Fisch und Chips, Bolognese vom Wildschwein, Cordon Bleu.... alle Gerichte einwandfrei. Aber Achtung: Reichliche Portionen....eigentlich braucht man keine Vorspeise, aber die sind halt einfach zu gut..... Service perfekt: Genau die richtige Mischung zwischen locker und professionell. Sehr freundlich und schnell, obwohl jeder Tisch besetzt war. Große Weinauswahl. Wir waren sehr zufrieden. Klare uneingeschränkte Empfehlung!

Vollkommen unprofessionelles Personal! Erst zwei Kunden gleichzeitig einen Tisch zuweisen und dann vollkommen unmotiviert zuschauen, wie diese sich streiten. @GF: Mitarbeiter zeigen keinerlei Ownership mit Ihrer Aufgabe. Es waren eine Vielzahl leerer Tische verfügbar, die sich den Umsatz erhöht hätten. Habe verzichtet und bin in das Nachbarlokal. Kann jedem nur abraten

Completely unprofessional staff! First assign a table to two customers at the same time and then watch, completely unmotivated, as they argue. @GF: Employees show no ownership of their task. There were a lot of empty tables available which would have increased sales. I gave up and went to the neighboring restaurant. I can only advise against it!

No worries: Despite the unique location with a view of the Porta Nigra, this is not a tourist rip-off, but a really good restaurant. Mixture of excellent French cuisine (fantastic seafood) and classic German dishes with a twist. The cooking is at a high level, great starters that you can't miss, although the main courses are very generously portioned. Large and good wine selection. Mega friendly, fast and good service. We really enjoyed the evening and left the restaurant happy and full. Clear recommendation and would be happy to come again!

Good steak, well prepared. Price-wise, it's perfectly reasonable for the location.

Really good experience food was good enough they fed and served us right near closing and the experience was unforgettable they made the night special

Food very good and decent portions. Good taste, delicately seasoned. Very friendly and good service. Prices are totally okay despite the catastrophic political situation. You get something for your money. Thanks.

It's OK Classic tourist restaurant Tarte flambée 14€ too expensive and tastes pretty bad The staff, on the other hand, was very friendly and in a great mood Location directly at the Porta Nigra is of course great Can be done, does not have to be

Friendly welcome from a lovely English speaking young server who promptly slowed me a menu in English, welcomingly indicated there was a ten minute or so wait but I could get a drink at the bar (bartender also friendly and helpful) then I was seated in the best position possible for a solo dining (if this was intentional then it takes a skilful server to achieve this) and had a hearty tasty and nutritious meal. Loads of options including local specialities. The server helped me choose a fab wine to go with dinner. Nothing too much trouble. Exceptional service. Good food. Great option.

We took a day trip to Trier during our vacation on the Moselle and we liked the restaurant so much that we ate there twice that day. Right at the beginning of our tour and again in the evening before we drove back to our holiday accommodation. The weather was great and we were able to sit on the large terrace with a direct view of the Porta Nigra. The food was super tasty, filling and a real eye-catcher, especially the beetroot carppaccio with the goat cheese was an absolute highlight for me, I want to frame the photo of it and hang it in my kitchen^^ and it was soooo delicious. The staff was also super attentive and very friendly. If I come to Trier again, I would love to eat there again. Top!

We were here for the first time and it was simply awesome! The food took a while, but it was totally worth the wait! Preparing fresh roulade and cordon bleu just takes some time! Operation/Service Youssef gave us very, very good recommendations and especially scored points with the dessert! Quality absolutely speaks for itself here. Thank you and we'd love to come back!

This evening we spontaneously looked for a restaurant and found this one. We actually got a table even though it was very fully booked. We were served by Youssef, who was really very friendly and attentive. The food was so delicious, I would recommend it to everyone ❤️

Here again today. Food is delicious, portions are large and the price is acceptable. The BIT is of course unbeatably well tapped. Service today was a bit tense and curt. But he smiled when he paid 😉. Will definitely come back and would be happy to give 4 stars 🌟 Plus. Not much is missing from 5 stars.

I wanted to celebrate my birthday there but unfortunately I didn't receive an answer to my email request. Still a great location right at the Porta nigra. We recommend

Delicious tarte flambée! Cozy atmosphere, good, quick and friendly service. Price-performance ratio is right here.

Good food, no problem with service, nice atmosphere. Looking forward to come back in summer, to enjoy great view from terrace.

Good escargot 👍🏻 Good meat 👍🏻 Risotto not recomendable 👎🏻

We were outside in the winter lounge. That was really great, good music and a really nice atmosphere.

Was there for the first time. The food was delicious and the staff was very nice despite the stress and the waiter always kept an eye on his guests

Sehr gutes und reichhaltiges Essen und eine tolle Auswahl u.a. auch an Meeresfrüchten. Dazu eine sehr gute Weinkarte. Der Service war sehr zuvorkommend und motiviert und man fühlte sich rundherum gut aufgehoben. Danke.

Very nice, cozy restaurant right at the Porta Nigra. The service is very good and fast. The beef tartare was great and the dishes at the neighboring tables also looked very good 😉. The extensive wine list completes the very good impression.

Very nice restaurant. Food was very tasty 😋. Recommended!!!

Food was sensational. It was a great evening, thank you also to the great service

Good beer selection and even more wine. 👍

Great location, great service. Next time we will also try food 😊

The winter lounge with live music is great. Then a delicious mulled wine and everything is fine. Among other things, various tarte flambées are offered here.

Everything perfect! Always my pleasure

Simple and excellent restaurant

For me, the Brasserie ZUR SIM is one of the top addresses in Trier, when it comes to good food (oysters, lobster, mussels, steak, etc.) as well as good wine and ambience. The host currently offers a beautiful winter lounge on the terrace in the immediate vicinity with a view of the Portra Nigra. This terrace is also my first port of call in summer. Regardless of the sight of Portra Nigra and the pedestrian zone, the quality of the products and the service are simply right here.

Fantastic, one of the best meals we had on our vacation, excellent service!!! Veal schnitzel and Escargot ROCKED!!!!!

The service left something to be desired from the start. Despite reservations, we were “overlooked” You get the impression that the staff is having their own party. Drinks came quickly… ordering more… no chance It took forever for the food to arrive. The steak was almost cold and the Provençal fish pot was a complete disappointment. Vegetable soup (mainly carrots) with garnish. Sorry, but in Provence the cook would be chased out of the village. Oh yes and finally the billing was incorrect. “Drinks from the next table” … Never again …

The winter lounge is awesome. Delicious mulled wine, great atmosphere and good music

Our first visit to the SIM. Extremely competent and friendly waitress! We ate a rump steak with pepper sauce and the salad with steak! Fabulous taste! We look forward to our next visit

Choices: Wild game sausage with sauerkraut mash, charcuterie plate, flammkuchen, warm goat cheese veggies, French fries (tasty) All very good, popular place by the Roman gate, reasonably efficient service, nice people, good patio overlooking the main street, all had good English

Ambiente/ Winterterasse schön Essen naja Service sehr gut Leider wurde das Cordon Bleu mit 24,90€ abgerechnet Auf der Speisekarte steht 21,90€ Leider zu spät gemerkt😡

Der Wein war lecker, das Essen ging so. Die Bratkartoffeln waren sehr ölig, der Fleischkäse und das Cordonbleu hatten kein Geschmack. Der Kellner war sehr freundlich hat aber das Cordonbleu 3 Euro teurer berechnet.

Sehr urig eingerichtet, freundliche Bedienung gutes Essen

Super leckeres Essen. Kein Wunder, dass immer alle Tische besetzt sind und man vorher reservieren muss. Es lohnt sich!
