Dépa Forschungskantine in Kassel

Not recommended! We were passing through on Sunday (March 9th, 2025) and visited this restaurant because we didn't want fast food. Unfortunately that was a mistake. As soon as we entered, we noticed an unpleasant smell, probably due to years of smoking in the interior. We were led into a separate room, which seemed cool but still pleasant. The service was mainly carried out by a friendly man, but he appeared to be very drunk. In addition, nothing was asked when ordering - I ordered a rump steak without even having the option of choosing how I wanted it. My friends chose cordon bleu and a pinsa. The drinks came quickly, but my friend's beer was one of the worst he's ever had - warm, too. The food took an extremely long time to arrive, even though the restaurant wasn't particularly full. After more than an hour we asked and were assured that it would “come soon”. After another wait, the food was finally served - but with further disappointments: my rump steak was replaced with another piece of meat, my friend's fries were neither cooked through nor salted, and the salad was almost inedibly salty. The only positive exception was the pinsa, which actually tasted good. Overall, a disappointing experience that we will not repeat again. We strongly advise against a visit!

Really delicious food. Very friendly staff. Large portions.

The two of us enjoyed breakfast in the North Pole on Sunday. Everything is very fresh and tasty, the service is very friendly and attentive. It's best to call in advance and reserve a table, the restaurant is busy, which doesn't surprise me 😇 Highly recommended.

Nice restaurant, with good facilities and helpful staff. I was received quite well and was very attuned to the atmosphere. The food made my taste buds explode. I recommend this wonderful restaurant and can only recommend it to you. Best regards Fardin

A really great restaurant, very good food, great ambience. I'll definitely be back!
