Forum - Restaurant Café Bar in Schwäbisch Gmünd

Sweet spot in the heart of Schwäbisch Gmünd. Simple german dishes, served fresh by friendly staff members. Prices are fair for what you get including a great ambiance with high glass walls & ceiling with a view of the Rems/Walstetter Bach. Vegetarian & Vegan options are available. Worth a visit if your around!

Even if you only have one drink, it's a nice place to sit.

The cocktails were good. The view was very nice. Unfortunately, the roof terrace was unoccupied due to rain. One negative point is that it smelled strongly of fried food.

Amazing place to relax with coffee, cocktails, and cakes. The cakes are excellent, and the homemade lemonade is amazing. The service is very good. Recommend.

Always delicious with you!!! We're happy to come back!

Delicious food, very friendly service, and a beautiful view. My absolute favorite restaurant in Gmünd.

I have relatively low expectations of GS Gastro restaurants in Schwäbisch Gmünd, as I'm somewhat familiar with their concept. Today we went to the Forum for lunch; the service and ambiance are great, and the staff are very helpful. The location and selection are also good for a coffee or a cold drink. However, you have to make compromises when it comes to the food. Every single product on the plate is convenience food. Nothing is actually cooked here, and you can taste it. They heat up standard products from the wholesale market and serve them. The price is simply too high for this. I find it excessive to offer baked or melted Maultaschen that aren't homemade for €15, which is too much for the quantity offered. There are still good restaurants in the city, so if you want to go out for a meal, there are better alternatives.

Really very nice here and delicious.

Very unfriendly waiters. We couldn't even order food. Said they had a lot of customers and we should 40min wait. After over 1 hour they said it was not possible to serve food. However good drinks but wouldn't recommend it

Really wonderful. I can only recommend staying here for a while. No matter whether you are just visiting or live in Schwäbisch Gmünd. Great ambience, great staff and very tasty coffee. Not to forget the wonderful view of the reindeer with the black swans.

Normally I am and have always been very satisfied with your service. Only yesterday it was a bit disappointing how long you have to wait until you are recognized as a guest. Once you didn't have any cash with you...the internet worked sluggishly...then you'll be spoken to strangely, you should think about that earlier...if that's the case, then you should put up a sign right at the entrance that only cash payment is possible, point that out...then you know where you are...but that wasn't the case...nevertheless, the location there is simply brilliant...that's precisely why you should be keen to ensure that you come back anyway, and that your customers stay with you...customers who keep coming back...

Very nice atmosphere, very attentive service You should concentrate on one region when it comes to the food, here there is a cross-section of all regions up to Pasta Mafiosi. How can you serve canned fried onions a la Ikea with lard-infused industrial Maultaschen?

When we go to Schwäbisch Gmünd we always go to eat at the Forum or Spongebob building as many locals here call it. When the weather is good, it's wonderful to sit outside where the Rems flows by. It's also very comfortable inside when the weather isn't right. This time there was even a dog there and dogs are also allowed indoors, which makes the location even cooler. The food is delicious, the portions are ok and the prices are reasonable. Unfortunately there are no fries or anything fried in general, but the side dishes of spaetzle, rosemary potatoes, vegetables and salads are sufficient. You are also served quite quickly. We've already tried everything from pasta, pizza, fish and meat and were impressed. But the favorite is the Schwabentöpfle. You can park around the train station or for free in the side streets in the direction of the stadium or city garden, where you can park in about 7-8 minutes. can walk straight there. We would also like to recommend this restaurant for breakfast outside. Pictures are now only from the last visit a few days ago.

You can sit really nicely, but the toilets are terrible, no toilet paper, I pointed it out at the counter, but nothing happened, the floor was also completely dirty. You should just check it more often. But I've noticed it several times now.

The service is rudeness personified. I've never experienced anything like this! We got up again and left without ordering anything.

We sat for 20 minutes and weren't served even though there wasn't too much going on. Keller preferred to stand at the same exchange for 10 minutes and chat. Left without ordering

We had breakfast here today. We ordered the fit breakfast. Unfortunately, instead of half a grapefruit, only three half slices of an orange came. Unfortunately, the service didn't ask if that was okay, and the freshly squeezed orange juice included wasn't freshly squeezed either. Unfortunately, it was topped by a fresh lipstick mark on my orange juice. Unfortunately, this one couldn't be overlooked either. Unfortunately, when we had our food, no waiter came by to ask if everything was okay, so I had to bring the dirty glass to the counter myself. Unfortunately there was no compensation for this - which unfortunately meant very poor service for me.

A lovely, friendly place, unfortunately a little dated and in need of a bit of renovation. The speed at which things move in the kitchen is like in Formula One racing; as soon as you order, the food is on the table. Anyone who can cook will know whether that's a good thing or a bad thing. The food tasted okay. The wine was good. The staff are friendly and welcoming. The quality could be a little better, but everyone has different tastes. For me it was simply prepared too quickly and so I can only give it three stars. I rate everything like that. I might try it again, but a lot would have to change.

I agree with the other customers who found the service unfriendly! I'd rather have an ice cream directly at the train station and enjoy a beautiful view than this restaurant!

The food was really great. Went very quickly too. But the waiter is apparently very funny in his own way. However, this is something that is rather negative for the guests. Stupid comments on orders and imitations are apparently “funny” to him. Really a shame in such a great and chic restaurant. The other waiters are very nice and polite.

When we are in Schwäbisch Gmünd, we always come there to eat. Right on the Rems, nice to sit there in summer. Everything just works for us there. Food always of the same good quality. Excellent service and always friendly staff. Barrier-free access. For us everything is just perfect 🤗

The food and service are really good. We are very happy to come. The ambience and the view are very nice. Unfortunately the toilets are not that clean, but maybe that can be improved in the future?

Shockingly bad service, the ladies serving were nice and helpful. But the gentleman who served us was rude and just too cheeky. Unfortunately, this ruined our stay and the beautiful seating.

A good restaurant right on the Rems. However, poor service. When I wanted to pay the €8.70 bill in cash, I gave a €20 note and only got €2 and was told “that’s fine!” with a smiling face!”. The service employee didn't ask me if he could keep the €10 as a tip. If he asked nicely, I would give it to him too. Otherwise the taste was good and tasty. Service urgently needs to be improved. Price-wise also above average.

Absolutely nothing to criticize. Only praise. I was there with a group. There were 2 wheelchair users. Every extra wish was fulfilled. Accessibility guaranteed. Super nice, courteous staff. Delicious food. Open Monday. What more could the heart want?

Very friendly service staff. Food was super delicious. We sat at the window with a view of the Rems. Price-performance ratio fits. We'd love to come back.

We went out to eat in the Forum today with a larger group. At the beginning we were told that they would only bring us drinks because the kitchen was still closed, although it was communicated differently over the phone. We ordered a hot chocolate and waited until we could order food. When we went to order food we were asked if we were sure because the hot chocolate was 800 calories and a few of us were supposed to “cut calories”. FYI: There were two former anorexics or eating disorders sitting at the table! That was the first and last time forum! The waiter can be glad we didn't call for the boss!!

Very nice staff. Price performance top Something pulls on the window seats.

Nice restaurant in summer, nice ambience outside you can sit in deckchairs on the Rems Highly recommended

Nice restaurant..Great location.. Cafe unfortunately overpriced...Despite self-service, we paid €4.70 for a cup of coffee.. I find that a bit excessive

An extremely successful implementation, with the typical handwriting, very futuristic ambience and yet comfortable to linger. The food is more than excellent, the quality is convincing. Best regards Company: DGI Automation and Robotic Solution GmbH

Great restaurant with very good food. (and the chance to meet Wigald Boning haha)

We had breakfast here. We were 5 people. We particularly liked the ambience and the beautifully prepared food. Unfortunately, there was no choice as to how you would like your breakfast egg. Here they are just hard boiled 🙈 We were also plagued by wasps towards the end. Even though we were sitting inside. In my opinion, the price for breakfast for two is far too high. However, the quality of what is offered is really satisfactory. The only drawback would be that we would have liked to have had at least two more rolls in the bread basket. These had to be ordered separately. Otherwise a nice place for breakfast. The service was very, very friendly and accommodating.

Very tasty food on New Year's Eve. The service crew (only male) was very, very friendly and attentive. Everything went smoothly and in a relaxed atmosphere

Great location with a particularly beautiful terrace. Staff very friendly and accommodating. Products are delivered super quickly and taste great. The only criticism: It is very loud due to the architecture of the hall, you can constantly hear cutlery and plates banging, and the guests' conversations also increase the overall volume massively. Noise-insulating measures would be very good for the location and the relaxed stay.

Surprisingly good food, friendly service. I can recommend it

Always nice to eat here...perfect location...just a dream! Delicious breakfast and lunch...as well as various cakes for your coffee time

Perfect place to enjoy a great evening with special people. Very tasty food and great drinks. Super friendly staff. Love it here

Drinks too expensive. There was no blanket for my wife on the grounds that we could sit inside. Then I saw that a man at the next table had a blanket. So further visits are over.

After a walk we stopped for a Lumumba.

Very modern bar with a feel-good atmosphere and good food. Service was very quick and individually courteous.

Celebrated our birthday with family in the forum. The feedback on the selected dishes (especially the Schwäbentöpfle) was very good. The service was very attentive (despite being busy) and always super friendly. All in all a good 5 stars 👍

Food can no longer be ordered on Sundays at 1 p.m., only drinks. No display or other information, the information is only available at the table when you want to order, thank you.

Overall a nice place, with a nice view and interior, but the staff was very unfriendly and the food was overly salty. I have a feeling that they are friendly to some, and terrible to others. I rarely write, but here I wanted to ((( unfortunately

Delicious food, nice to sit outside. Nice staff

Coffee was good, service was also good but very busy

Really cool location with great food at decent prices. Gladly again!

Location is nice, service was absolutely outrageous today. Either you were completely ignored by the waiters or when we called someone to the table we were rudely told without even looking at us that he had to take the order first at the next table (where his colleague had already been 2 minutes ago) . We kindly asked him to take our order when we had already been sitting there for 20 minutes and were ignored. When he finally turned his attention to us and we had ordered two coffees and wanted to add cake to our order, he interrupted us with the sentence “You have to choose the cake yourself” and hissed off what we had started without even giving us a chance To finish the sentence, otherwise he would have found out that we were already inside and had each chosen a cake. When I left the restaurant I said that he could cancel the coffee again, I didn't want to stay in that kind of atmosphere any longer.

Restaurant in the new landmark of Schwäbisch Gmünd. Very nice large terrace on Remsstrand. Inside also modern and cozy. The dishes are high quality and the service is top.

To be honest, I was really surprised that in 2024 it's still a thing to be shamed for consuming non-alcoholic drinks - especially by service staff. Unprofessional and uncool when the waiter greets you with a sarcastic “Wow” when you order water to drink. Doesn't make you feel welcome and valued as a guest.

The hotel is excellent and the staff is " Super " .. one of the best places around and very convenient to the downtown area. I give them a " 10 " ..

Very nice staff, extremely helpful. If I come back to Schwäbisch Gmünd, I would like to go there again at any time.

One of the most beautiful restaurants here has a lot of memories attached to it 🤍

Top service, fresh breakfast. Great location. We'll be back!

Nice ambience, extremely friendly staff. Not very clean, spider web everywhere. Food is okay but very pricey for what it is. Staff is with it to go back again, but the food not so much.

Service and ambience top. Schnitzel from the deep fryer is more than dry. Too bad. Otherwise 5 stars.

Very cozy. We sat inside and the temperature was very pleasant. There are also outdoor spaces if you want. The food was very tasty, we enjoyed it. Staff was very polite. Always my pleasure.

We had breakfast there on the way to the XXL marble run in Schwäbisch-Gmünd. The food was really delicious and there was something for everyone.

Very nice restaurant, with outdoor seating right on the Rems. The food is great, the service is excellent, it's one of my favorite places😍

Were just there to drink coffee and eat cake. Both were very tasty. Great service, super friendly and helpful. Gladly again.

A futuristic, displaced cube rises in Schwäbisch Gmünd - an architectural surprise that combines modern architecture and historical substance. The restaurant inside is a masterpiece of synthesis: part of the old city wall has been harmoniously integrated into the modern structure, as if the past were gently gliding into the present. The menu offers an Italian/Swabian selection. The dishes are of good quality. The service is excellent – ​​attentive, friendly and always on hand. When the weather is nice, the restaurant reveals all its charm in the spacious outdoor area. Located directly on the river, it offers an idyllic setting. This successful combination of old and new, of Swabian history and Italian gastronomy, is a wonderful example of the harmonious interaction of different times and cultures - an experience that should not be missed.

Great outdoor area, comfortable chairs. I was even allowed to load my bike. Unfortunately there is no milk alternative for the latte, which is actually unthinkable these days. We had scrambled eggs with bacon, cereal and pancakes, all very tasty. Unfortunately, no fruit salad outside of breakfast time.

Unfortunately, the starter plate was very bland and contained only a few purchased foods. Particularly noteworthy are the stuffed peppers with white industrial filling.... The rest was tip-top!

Very friendly and fast service.

Very great location. Always worth an experience. Very tasty cocktails. Service but sometimes unfriendly. Unfortunately. So edited review and I have to say it has gotten worse and now they have finally driven me away. Eat a disgraceful price performance not given at all. Children are given portions that do not reflect the price. I haven't eaten so badly in a long time, the oil was missing and a lot of other things went wrong. The plate was the best, it had a design and the portion size was misleading.

We only made a quick stop and had a drink. The prices are quite impressive, I think they are a bit exaggerated

Unfortunately, my daughter was very disappointed with her visit to this restaurant. Not only did she have insects in her salad twice, the food also arrived cold. Although the waitress was friendly, she had the feeling that they were just trying to get out of the affair by making excuses. A really unsatisfactory experience that I cannot recommend.

Very nice team, cozy atmosphere and delicious food Pizza is really good Sea bream fillet is 4/5

The food was very tasty and the service was also very friendly. If the weather is good and you sit outside, you can eat and drink really delicious here.

I liked that very much! Mika in particular tried very hard and was always friendly.

Staff very unfriendly. At 12:05 you ask for white sausage and you only get the answer until 11:30. Justification is just like that. No alternative, no asking in the kitchen whether it is possible. Warming up a small pot of water is only possible until 11:30 a.m. if there are 2 other guests. You can also save pretzels very well. Never again.

Unfortunately we weren't completely satisfied. Our reservation, which was confirmed by email, was apparently not available and we were given a deadline by which we had to leave again. The breakfast was okay, but very bland. The rolls were not fresh, more like baked goods. Not appropriate for the price and the actually great location. The waiter was rather listless and inattentive. It's a shame, because as I said, the location is great and you could do a lot more with it.

Even when there is a lot going on, the service staff keep an overview and are always friendly. The food is of good quality and there is plenty of choice. The surrounding area invites you to stroll.

Actually a nice location. Unfortunately the service was, let's say, room for improvement. Food good - price/performance??? The inclination to come back immediately and absolutely does not currently exist (unfortunately).

We enjoyed the stay very much. Delicious food, nice ambience, normal prices.

Nice atmosphere with good food.

Attentive service and great outdoor seating.

Nice place to linger...enjoy good food and unwind. Service very friendly...

Nice café right in the city center, the coffee is very good, requests are catered for. There are various breakfast options that are attractively served.

That's pretty good, but more attention could be paid to cleanliness and order.

So, best team in town! You can go there blindly, everything tastes good, great service team - great kitchen team, it's quick! It's pleasant, cozy. The terrace is great! Sometimes there's a lot going on but no matter how busy there is, they all do their best! Thank you! T-hoodie..;-)

Very nicely located cafe right on the Rems. I can't judge the food but I don't want to try it anymore either. By the time you get something to eat or drink there you will be thirsty or starving. Of course fun. But one or two waitresses for so many guests is definitely not enough. It took 20 to 30 minutes for the waitress to come so you could order. And that's only because we made ourselves noticed. Good service and attention looks different. The staff was very friendly.

Roastbeef was good. Quality pineapple juice and espresso.

Ingredients are fresh, the pizza is very good, the salad is also highly recommended. The Maultaschen are a bit small.

Nice café/bar, wonderfully located right on the water

Breakfast plate is large and sufficient. Nicely prepared. Service is nice and funny. Could have stopped by more often because we would have drunk more. Location is great and is right at the confluence of the Josefsbach and the Rems.

Very tasty food in itself. But the service takes an extremely long time because there is always a lot going on. You often have to ask for orders or the invoice more often. Overwhelmed staff. Otherwise everything was great, very nice location.

nice atmosphere, nice courteous service, we went for breakfast, everything tasted good☺️

Were there for breakfast..and totally surprised😍because I didn't think I knew you could have breakfast there too🙈..and hellooooooooo, how good and tasty and eye-catching...I was thrilled 😍 and of course the friendliness of the service ...Thanks .. It certainly wasn't the last time 😊😊

I was there with 2 small children. The children's food came very quickly and the drinks weren't cold. Very thoughtful of them. And of course the little play area is great. I had schnitzel with spaetzle. It was probably TK, which is a no-go given the prices. Got 2 schnitzels, both looked exactly the same and were only in the deep fryer for a short time. Sorry, but a schnitzel belongs in the pan and properly browned. The meat was also without fat and therefore very dry. But the spaetzle was good and so was the gravy. Well, it's quite expensive and you also demand quality. A pity

Very nice ambience, nice service, but we weren't impressed with the food, everything was a little weakly seasoned. The soup was fresh, but the broth came from a bag and therefore the price was simply too high. Even if the presentation of the food was very nice, that alone is not enough. A great place for a nice evening, but the food menu should be reduced and the quality maximized.

Very pleasant, great atmosphere, especially in summer when you can sit outside.

I always found the building very interesting when I drove past it and was very curious. The outside area is beautiful with a view of Bach and you can also go for walks in the area. The restaurant was nicely decorated with a children's play area. Therefore also recommended for parents with children. The staff was very attentive and friendly. The food was served very quickly and was very tasty. I will definitely go there more often and can recommend it.

The Forum in Schwäbisch Gmünd offers a wonderful location with an impressive view of the city. Our welcome was extremely warm and friendly and we were given an excellent seat. The menu is varied and offers something to suit every taste. A particularly positive highlight is the lovingly designed play area for the little guests. As a family, we loved this restaurant and are planning our next visit soon. Highly Recommended!

A great location in a special building, the culinary food seems to be doubly packaged. The menu is extensive, interesting and offers a good choice for many guests. The service is good, attentive, flexible, friendly and relaxed. The view is romantic, the effervescent, very high water fountain looks almost kitschy, set in the scene by black swans in the front water. The great beer garden with its large umbrellas is inviting and cozy. The food is absolutely delicious. A visit that is always worthwhile

Very good and nice restaurant on the Rems

Besucht und Fotografie gemacht.

Highly recommended restaurant on the Rems. In addition to the great location, the food is also very good. The price-performance ratio is top class. I can only recommend the restaurant to everyone.

The food was, as always, very tasty. We've tried a lot, always tasty and beautifully prepared. The staff is very friendly and attentive. The ambience and the view are great👍🏻

Waren gestern in einer großen Gruppe dort essen (hatten Reserviert). Haben auf alles ewig warten müssen, 1.5 Stunden nach der Ankunft hatten wir noch immer kein Essen. Als wir den Kellner darauf angesprochen haben, kam eine patzige Antwort und auch keine Entschuldigung. Es ist nicht unsere Schuld, das noch andere Personen im Restaurant waren. Zu den Essen: Meine Margherita hat knapp 11€ gekostet und war das Geld absolut nicht wert. Hat geschmeckt und ausgesehen wie eine billige Tiefkühlpizza. Auch die anderen Pizzen waren wahrscheinlich TK. Zudem wurden mehrer Gerichte als vegetarisch ausgezeichnet die es nicht sind! In einigen Gerichten war Parmesan drin ( der nicht vegetarisch ist, da es Lab enthält) Durch eine kurze Google Suche wäre es möglich gewesen, es zu verhindern. Zum Schluss was positives: die Lage und das Ambiente sind Top.
