Gasthaus Zur Traube in Alzenau

No longer exists

Stylish café with friendly, attentive service. A breakfast buffet for €20 without at least one specialty coffee or tea is quite steep. No (flavored) water, no juices, no tea, not even filter coffee included. So, including tip, we paid €30 for the breakfast buffet, which included one delicious latte macchiato (Braun coffee from an espresso machine) and 0.5 liters of still water (tap water?). I couldn't get my money's worth from the buffet, which offered a good and tasty selection of food. We often go to a hotel in the Spessart region where the buffet costs €25 and EVERYTHING is included (all specialty coffees – okay, from a fully automatic machine, but it tastes good – two juices, sparkling wine, water – also flavored). For me, the price-performance ratio here isn't quite right. Everything tasted good, though! The three of us were quite cramped at the small table, as you normally fill several plates plus a bread basket at a buffet. The freshly prepared fried and scrambled egg portions consisted of one egg on a saucer (the scrambled egg looked very meager on the small plate; without herbs or other garnish – it could have been presented more attractively).

Huge portions and delicious. You can tell everything is fresh. The place is okay, I recommend it.

Yesterday, we celebrated our birthday with about 20 friends at Stefan Eder's Restaurant and were all extremely satisfied. Stefan put together a wonderful menu. We were all more than satisfied. With each course, there was a hush of silence, and then from all corners came, "Hmm... are those caramelized peas in the sauce?" The dishes were prepared right before our eyes, and our questions about the ingredients were promptly answered by the live chef. The service was friendly, with frequent check-ins and refills. We've been coming for years, hiking in the beautiful vineyards and through the diverse landscape, and we've never been disappointed by the food – on the contrary, we've always been pleasantly surprised. Many thanks to the team!

In my opinion, the friendly faces were more important than anything else. During our stay there, I would like to sincerely thank everyone who looked after us for their tolerance and friendly smiles, especially Ms. Amelie and the other colleagues.
