Galileo Bar & Restaurant Erlangen in Erlangen

"Great food, superb service, and a truly pleasant atmosphere – the quesadilla was delicious with a glass of wine. Galileo is highly recommended!"

Great food as always 😄 - only the digital menu is still annoying :)

Good service and great food 10/10 🙌🏽

The tapas were delicious. Very good cocktails. Super friendly service. Beautiful location.

Excellent restaurant in Erlangen.

Good Mexican food. Large selection of cocktails, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. Regional beer selection. Mönchshof is on tap, and Sternla is available by the bottle. Overall, good food. The beer garden in the back courtyard is very nice. Service was friendly and attentive, but we didn't have any cutlery (not absolutely necessary for quesadillas, but we didn't have any napkins either), and our drinks took a long time to arrive. The restaurant didn't fill up until after we ordered, which wasn't necessarily the reason. We've been there several times, and today was the exception. All in all, worth a visit.

Everything is fresh, perfectly seasoned, and served with love. Friendly service, a cozy atmosphere – highly recommended!

We were on vacation in Austria and stopped in Erlangen by chance for a break. We had lunch at Taps España and had chicken quesadillas. The meal was truly delicious and beautifully presented. The service was impeccable, and Letitcia, our waitress, was very friendly. The cocktails were truly excellent, and the decor of the place was superb. I particularly appreciated that the bartender spoke fluent French, which really helped us choose the drinks that best suited our tastes. A wonderful experience that I highly recommend!

Great food, great service! I'll definitely be back :)

We were here for the first time – and we were thrilled. The servers were consistently friendly. The food and drinks were incredibly delicious. We'll definitely be back soon.

everything is great, nothing to complain about😆👍

A highly recommended spot for dinner with friends or even just a couple of drinks after work! Beautiful outdoor seating in the courtyard, surrounded by greenery, attentive and friendly service, and a variety of addictive tapas make this place worth a visit!

As usual generally everything was good except the menu has been renewed, which means in this case the variety has been reduced drastically. The old menu was much better.

Very nice ambience and perfect location in the city center 👍

The atmosphere was very pleasant, and the waitress (Leticia) took very good care of us. We'll definitely be back.

We had a lovely evening as a family today. We received excellent advice regarding our son's allergies and were able to relax and enjoy the delicious food. Thank you for the very friendly and patient service.

Service was slower than a dial-up connection in a desert and the rudeness was extra.

Highly recommended! Galileo at Calvinstraße 3 is a real insider tip in Erlangen! The Mexican-inspired dishes are not only a feast for the palate, but also a feast for the eyes – lovingly prepared and delicious! I would particularly like to highlight the varied selection on the plate: crispy tacos, perfectly seasoned quesadillas, creamy dips, crunchy nachos, and fresh pico de gallo – all perfectly cooked. Unfortunately, the tapas that came first didn't make it into a photo – they were too delicious! A real highlight was the drink of the week: mango chili – fruity, slightly spicy, and extremely refreshing on hot days! That alone makes the visit worthwhile. Add to that the great service: young, humorous, attentive, and simply super friendly. You feel welcome and well looked after from the very first moment. A great place to relax, enjoy, and laugh. I'll definitely be back!

A very nice atmosphere, you immediately feel at home. The staff was super friendly and attentive. We'd love to come back!

delicious delicious delicious!!!!

We'd been searching for a long time for a restaurant that serves authentic Spanish tapas. We found what we were looking for here. Delicious! Good cocktails rounded off our second wedding anniversary. I recommend the Tapas Tower for two people with a good appetite! Update 06/2025: Once again today, a very pleasant atmosphere with the delicious Flying Tapas menu. Still highly recommended—reservations recommended.

Always beautiful, especially the courtyard in summer 👍

Super friendly staff & good vibes!

It can happen that the toilets are broken. It's absolutely not acceptable to confront guests about it with a shrug after they've had several cocktails. The toilet in the McDonald's next door costs €1 – I would have expected to get a receipt for that. But the cocktails are all laced with squeaky-sweet artificial syrup. The second star is only for the good food.

Awesome food! One of the most happening evening places

Had quesidillas to go, a bit of a long wait despite ordering, but super tasty

Unassuming from the outside...but a very nice atmosphere inside...super delicious food and a great team!!!

Apparently Galileo has changed ownership. The menu does not match what is shown first on google maps, but a very standardized tex-mex. Food was ok, but too few staff. We had to wait quite a while. The menu options are limited a there is no kids offering. I decided to take it off my favorites list for Erlangen.

The patio is great... And of course the food and service as well...

Ambient was nice, food was good too. Although they didn’t have vegetarian options in Tacos.

Great restaurant with very friendly and competent staff

Overall, our visit to Galileo in Erlangen was really nice. The service was super friendly and even brought us something to eat just before closing time – that's not something you can take for granted! The Moscow Mule tasted good, but honestly, it was way too strong (for a franc, it was Suba). We also didn't get any cheese sauce, which was a bit of a shame. Nevertheless, the service was friendly and the atmosphere was pleasant – we'll definitely be back. Our server was Leticia, who served us at table 1.

Ich war abends im Galileo essen und bin begeistert. Die Atmosphäre ist stilvoll, aber gleichzeitig entspannt – man fühlt sich sofort willkommen. Der Service war aufmerksam und herzlich, ohne aufdringlich zu sein. Kulinarisch hat mich das Menü komplett überzeugt: frische Zutaten, kreative Kombinationen und perfekt abgestimmte Aromen. Besonders hervorheben möchte ich das [hier kannst du dein Lieblingsgericht einfügen – z. B. „Steinpilzrisotto“ oder „hausgemachte Pasta“], das wirklich ein Highlight war. Für mich als Unternehmerin ist gutes Essen oft auch Inspiration – hier stimmte einfach alles. Ich komme definitiv wieder! – Louisa Herold

Super tasty tapas and cozy decor

Always nice in the Galileo. Whether for dinner or a cocktail, we are always super satisfied. Service is top, nice ambience and great location.

Service hervorragend, die Vorspeisen Tapas waren sehr gut , Hauptspeise ebenfalls sehr gut, wir kommen gerne wieder.

Wir kommen oft hierher, aber dieses Mal waren wir wirklich enttäuscht. Wir vermissen die alte Speisekarte mit ihrer Vielfalt und Qualität. Es macht uns nichts aus, einen Aufpreis zu zahlen, aber bei der jetzigen Qualität würden wir es uns zweimal überlegen, ob wir noch einmal herkommen.

Unfriendly staff, long waiting time.

Havana Cola totally watered down. Disaster. And then ask for 10€. Erlangen, what happened to you?

Very good food. Each course was explained what it was. Very friendly staff. Absolutely recommended.

The service staff have always been friendly and I haven't been able to complain about the food as long as it was what I wanted. And that is the big weak point of the Galileo in Erlangen. The kitchen is subject to a lot of arbitrariness from the chefs. If you don't feel like preparing something, then it simply doesn't exist. Sometimes dishes are spontaneously removed from the online menu and even the staff don't know about it, e.g. the tacos. Because of this arbitrariness and inconsistency, the Galileo can only be recommended to a very limited extent - after all, you no longer know whether or what you are getting.

Unfortunately I really can't recommend the Galileo. If I could I wouldn't give any stars. Pure disappointment as a group of girls on site, wanted to take advantage of the flying tapas offer? I think it was said but 5 minutes later after ordering we were told that it wasn't valid this Sunday even though it was on the menu? Then why doesn’t that apply? And these excuses!! Kitchen not prepared? Then came the operational emergency? Ridiculously honest. So we ordered the tapastowers but they were also a joke. I don't even want to talk about variety. 2x the same bowl on top. There were supposed to be 14 tapas but that also included 4 bowls of sauces. Just a joke. And on top of that there was the waiting time. We were almost alone in the restaurant when we ordered and the food was no longer warm. Thank you for nothing

Unfortunately I didn't have a good experience. We specifically asked if it was spicy. Answer: no. Food came and it was so spicy you couldn't eat it. Mushrooms, on the other hand, didn't taste like anything. According to Google Maps, there are burgers. If you wanted to order one, unfortunately it is no longer available. The waitress was very patient and nice, but we will. I'm coming more.

It's tasty, but extremely loud and expensive. Online menu only!

Without a reservation it will be difficult to get a free seat, but once you are there you can eat very well and have a clear selection. There should be something for everyone on the menu, whether with or without meat.

Absolutely solid prices, good food and excellent service

Extremely nice service and even better food.

Da ich noch nicht alle Essen kenne komme ich gerne wieder. 2x habe ich dort schon ein meet5 Treffen mit Freunden veranstaltet und es war bestimmt nicht das letzte mal.😉

Delicious food, delicious cocktails, very nice service!

First of all, my rating goes more to the unfriendly owner than to the nice waitresses. Unfortunately, we were "received" in a very rude manner, so that we felt unwelcome as soon as we sat down. The gentleman with the braid and beard - apparently the "boss" was not only unfriendly and unsympathetic towards guests, his behavior towards the staff was also substandard. The waitresses and the food were really very good, otherwise it wouldn't have been 3 stars. Unfortunately, we didn't have the opportunity to give the girls nice words or even a tip; the boss was there immediately and cashed in. We hope that tips go where the money is earned, namely to those who are trying to give the guest a nice evening.

We have been here several times, usually after shopping in Erlangen. The service is increasingly unskilled but okay and friendly. The ambience is also good and the drinks are also delicious. Unfortunately it is quite cold in the rooms. Smokers and people waiting like to leave the door open. A hint would be great - because it was still below zero on our last visit. The food is getting worse and worse, but the price keeps going up. If at least the quality is right, you could really get over price adjustments. Which is unfortunately not the case here. If you've ever been to a good Spanish restaurant, the tapas are really subpar in comparison. The aioli is not a classic aioli and certainly not homemade either. Everything doesn't taste like a vacation, but rather like industry. That's not possible for these prices. Go to “La Tasca” in Fürth and taste the difference. Better take tapas off the menu and specialize in Mexican or something similar or do it decently. Even when prepared, food can taste good and fresh. We don't get to eat anymore - unless something changes in the taste. It seems to me that people consciously save money when shopping. Regrettable. There is so much potential in it, make something of it.

Unfortunately, the quality of service and friendliness is no longer the same as it once was.

Cocktails “expressionless”, nothing going on on Saturday evening and still a long wait for the drinks. Not like it used to be...a shame. But the music was good, so at least one star.

The Galileo is the place to be in Erlangen when it comes to cool drinks and delicious tapas! Gladly with friends or the perfect location as a date! Always great! Great service!

Worst tapas I have ever eaten. The staff was overworked. The man was rude. Avoid.

We wanted to go out for a drink at midnight yesterday. Before that, we specifically checked how long they were open. It says 1:30 a.m. So we still had 1 hour left. Unfortunately, we were very rudely sent out by a service person who said that they were about to close! Where is the error now? The Google opening hours or the service staff who didn't feel like working anymore? Next time we'll think carefully about where we spend our money.

I used to find it an okay place! Came with three friends and walked away disappointed. Entirely underwhelming food, everything is overly seasoned, oily and apparently a lot is simply microwaved. Not impressed by the drinks. Unfortunately, this place has little sophistication, everything seems generic. The location is good, of course! Would be nice to have a real cocktail bar in Erlangen...

Overpriced greasy convenience food, not a single healthy meal on the menu. cocktails are too sweet and our bartender was unable to produce any classics that aren’t on the menu. They keep canceling Google reviews .

Drinking a cocktail on Saturday evening Cocktails were good, sometimes too sweet Tapas good (not that difficult to make), but: well, 5 dates wrapped in bacon with a slice of white bread and a bit of rocket for €5.50 is overpriced. Service friendly

Eine Bedienung für Essen und Trinken und Empfang zu wenig, 3 hinter der Bar mit wenig zu tun, Tisch im Windzug, keine Wickelmöglichkeit, lauwarmes bis kaltes Essen, Essensqualität deutlich nachgelassen, nichts besonderes zum Valentinstag geboten, Cocktail könnten auch alkoholfrei sein da sie so schmecken, werden leider nicht wiederkommen

Unfortunately, the beer was warm. But friendly service.

A really nice restaurant with a good, manageable menu. I'm not a fan of PDF maps, but that's my only criticism. Drinks are original, the food is really good. Burgers, nachos, tapas. These were my favorites.

I can really recommend this bar/restaurant. Super great food and really friendly. Price/performance is TOP! We really felt very comfortable and would eat there again.

Was there for the first and unfortunately also for the last time. My daughter was at the restaurant in 2023 and at her urging we finally went there together today. My daughter wanted to eat tacos, but unfortunately they weren't available because the recipe was being worked on, they said. But I think that the other dishes also need to be worked on. I had the chicken chipotle fajitas. Unfortunately everything only tasted like the mango curry sauce, few vegetables and not fresh. Amount of meat was large, but I would have liked more fresh peppers, beans, onions etc. and not canned beans and corn. Unfortunately, the number of dishes on offer has also decreased. Maybe the tapas are really good, but I'll probably never try them there.

We were there for dinner at the end of December. Be sure to reserve, it was completely booked. The place is huge, with cocktails in the front area and food in the middle and back. The service is snappy. Unfortunately, 2 out of 2 reorders went wrong. One was corrected (no ice in the soda), the other (no onions) I said I'd move it to the side. It is very loud and the tables and chairs are pushed very close together. The food is rich, sometimes very spicy. The selection is large. Price-performance ratio is reasonable.

Very good food Super fast service Great ambience

Great restaurant in the city of Erlangen with a diverse range of dishes, all of which were convincing! The Chrispy chicken burger was my best one in a long time! The service was very friendly and it went quickly. The homemade lemonades are particularly recommended!

Food was very tasty. The waiting time for a simple beer was underground. And that twice. There was no more wheat in stock and only when we asked when the drink would arrive was this informed. By now we had been waiting for this drink for 30 minutes. Cocktails are primarily celebrated at the bar. The waitress tried very hard to find the missing drinks. On the next visit, or "attempt", we stood at the entrance for 10 minutes because we were told that the person assigning us a table would be there shortly. Unfortunately no one came and the rest of the staff successfully ignored us. We just wanted to sit at the bar. When a huge queue of people waiting formed, we left again. Get your store under control!

Always an experience with great food, friendly staff and great cocktails.

Waren Samstagabends kurzfristig zum Essen dort. Wir waren froh das wir noch einen Platz bekommen haben da viele Plätze reserviert waren. Die Tapasplatten waren sehr lecker , die Getränke auch. Tapas jedoch nicht wirklich und spanischen Niveau. Bedienung sehr freundlich. Preis eher teuer.

Super Tapas-Auswahl, gute Qualität, tolle Atmosphäre, leckere Cocktails, auch alkoholfrei. Netter und entspannter Service. Insgesamt eine wunderbare Location, um eine gute Zeit zu verbringen.

We've been here a few times, unfortunately it's getting worse and worse. The service has now become very poor, we had to wait a long time for our drinks - despite repeated requests. The food also took 1.5 hours and in my opinion was not freshly prepared, which was reflected in the taste. Simply not good anymore . It's a shame, because the atmosphere is really nice!

Wow - top location. If you want to have a great evening and a nice atmosphere, then you've come to the right place. Warm service - extremely good cocktails. We'll definitely be back :)

Essen ist gut, durch die Vielfalt der Tapas kann man hier sehr viel verschiedenes probieren

All around a great experience with my boys Great atmosphere Great food, good portions Everything went quickly but not too quickly (so the food was fresh and tasty) Young, very friendly team 😍 Again and again ....!

I was immediately greeted by name in a very friendly manner because I had reserved very early. Very tasty food - super friendly reception and service. Actually, another table was reserved for us, but upon request we were given a table directly at the free window seat! Super nice restaurant with always delicious food!

I have no idea how they get the average in the reviews, but unfortunately nothing is good here, neither the food nor the drinks. Prices performance underground. We won't be coming back either!

After a long dry spell... Finally cocktails again

Good service , excellent drinks and good food.Resturant was fully crowded and too loud and it was difficult to hear the person sitting next to you . Better to try this over weekdays. Overall place is good for dine in .

After we had no luck finding a table at our actual restaurant, we looked for an alternative on a Saturday evening in Erlangen and were very lucky to get a table without a reservation. Although the restaurant was busy, our cocktail order was taken quickly and the drinks followed shortly afterwards (we had already eaten before our visit). The cocktails were great in terms of taste and price!

Really nice food (we‘ve tried the Sevilla Tapas and the burgers) and great atmosphere. The service is great as well.

We weren't impressed with the food. It was served lukewarm - cold, meat was fried through and no cooking level was asked, there were ingredients on the burger that were not listed,... All in all not ok for the price. But service and cocktails were very good.

Great service. Great atmosphere. Delicious food. Deliciously served. And good location opposite the main train station. Gladly again.

Gutes Preis-Leitsungs-Verhältnis durch und durch. Ich bin geschäftlich und privat dort gewesen. War bisher immer super.

I'm quite happy with my visit here, good Spanish cuisine. The service was quick, friendly and always attentive. For the price, the food was only good to very good, a little more sophisticated would have been nice. The strawberry drinks, both with and without, are really worth recommending. You sit well and not too tightly, it is quite pleasantly designed and you are not bothered by loud but unnecessary music. What still bothered me a bit was the noise level, the acoustics aren't that good. Makes conversations difficult at times.

Nice to meet up with friends in the evening. Good cocktails and long drinks, also a few good beers on offer and warm drinks and various dishes can also be ordered until around 10 p.m.

Nice atmosphere, very attentive staff, unfortunately the food wasn't that good.

The food was delicious, the staff was super friendly - especially to our little daughter :) Very happy again!

Nice restaurant with pretty good Tex Mex food. Deduction from service because dessert was out

Amazing cocktails. Had the Long Island ice tea. Was really good

Very good cocktails and the service is great

Very cosy, yet modern feel to this restaurant. Friendly staff, great food and reasonably priced!

Very nice, cozy restaurant! Food was very tasty😋

Waited for 1 hour 20 mins. No food got served. This was despite several reminders. Every time we were told that order is in preparation . Others guests who came much after were served reasonably fast. Had to just walk out after paying for the unfinished drinks as it was extremely disappointing and uncontrollable hunger.

Hello. I had a cheeseburger, but unfortunately it was a bit cold inside. Otherwise it tasted pretty good, but nothing special. Price performance good. The fries (curly fries) were hot and delicious. The “big” drinks come in 0.3 glass. The waiter was very polite and nice, but unfortunately also stressed, even though the shop wasn't even half full. - do you employ enough staff? When we asked about drinks, we were simply referred to the menu, but I think that you can expect a waiter to at least know standard alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks and also be willing to advise the guest. It's good that your waitresses may not know the entire menu by heart, but it would have been nice to show willingness. About the menu: I think it's a shame, some people might think it's "hip": at the table you can scan two types of QR codes, once for drinks and once for the food. A tablet is available for people without a smartphone. Personally, I would like an analog menu better, especially since I find it rude if everyone clicks on their cell phones while eating together. But you might have to get used to that, at least if you want to eat there. Maybe you could change something in the design of the online map? I find it very confusing. Your pub is stylishly furnished and has enough space for many people at one table. There were eight of us and we had plenty of space. Unfortunately it is also very loud. On the whole you can have a good meal or drink here. But it won't be my favorite restaurant.

Very cool location that is constantly updating its furnishings and setting beautiful new accents. I think it tastes very good. However, a bit overpriced. Gladly again, but let's see when :)

very nice restaurant with very friendly service

Super lovely staff and good prices :)

A very nice bar.....super friendly service...good food.....delicious cocktails♡

Very great restaurant, go here often, very large selection of food with many vegetarian options, lots of cocktails with happy hour offers, good service with friendly and attentive staff, usually very busy and therefore often rather loud as there is always music playing, but It's normal as a bar in the evenings, very nice courtyard which is very cozy in the summer, delivery possible, there are savings offers on certain days of the week, there are often specials on public holidays such as New Year's Eve, reservations are also possible for large groups (we were there once about 20 there at a long table), clean toilets accessible via a staircase downstairs, not barrier-free
