Gasthof zur Peif in Idstein

After I found myself lost, only the Gasthof zur Pfeif was open, so my colleague and I entered the Gasthof. There we were approached by a friendly waitress and we were taken care of straight away. My schnitzel was good and the fried potatoes tasted good too. Overall, I would recommend the inn and visit again.

Wonderful location in the middle of the old town. It was busy and the service was slightly stressed. Otherwise a great evening with incredibly good food.

Absolutely recommended! The food is great and the quality is simply outstanding! The service isn't very fast, but that's bearable considering the quality and the ambience!

We went for my mother's birthday. We had to wait 20 minutes for our drinks and over an hour for the food. It was also written that it was also suitable for vegetarian guests, which was definitely not the case. In addition, the waiters were not coordinated and unfriendly towards us, and they are also not dog friendly. The dog barked at the service and I was told to leave the restaurant for a while. We didn't feel welcome or comfortable, the food was okay except for the very long wait, so you shouldn't visit the restaurant if you're hungry or if you want decent service.

Unfriendly service, the owners are rude to the guests, which makes you feel uncomfortable and just want to leave. Extremely long waiting times for drinks of around 30 minutes and you have to wait more than an hour for the food, if you ask it only falls on deaf ears. The food was acceptable but nothing special.

Eating delicious food in a cozy, tasteful atmosphere is a joy. The attentive, friendly service team turned the evening into a wonderful event in the autumn magic. A kitchen with fresh herbs and ingredients, a lovingly compiled menu ranging from game to excellent steak meat. The greeting from the kitchen is always something very special and delicious. Thank you very much for the evening

After almost 30 years, I was in Idstein again for the Hessen Jazz. 30 years no whistle... Hard bread. But just registering online brought a smile back to me. And the evening there, with the boss, who hasn't changed at all in her 30s, was wonderful and extremely tasty. I hope to be able to return there as a guest very soon.

Clocky restaurant, great location in the historic center by the fountain. Friendly service, simple, delicious food. We had Tafelspitz with Frankfurt green sauce and pork goulash, three types of Schupfnudeln, and we really enjoyed it. Toilets are modern and clean.

Thank you for the wonderful time at the family festival in the Peif.

Great welcome, great food, Everything superlative

Quaint restaurant in an old half-timbered house. Delicious food with a focus on German cuisine, good value for money and friendly service.

Not just the dessert, everything here is very, very tasty.

Quaint restaurant in the heart of Idstein. Changing daily reports and some unusual dishes on the normal menu - all really great (as far as I've tried). The landlady speaks excellent English and was able to advise our guest from Dubai on the wines on offer. Completely satisfied and recommended!

I went into the restaurant worried that it would be a bit uncomfortable since it was a restaurant where locals gathered. As expected, there were three customers at the counter and one table. Everyone was speaking German, so I went to the counter thinking that an Asian person would be out of place. A kind-looking woman carefully explained the menu, and I ordered Dunkel, white asparagus, and Schnitzel. Pour the beer slowly until the foam settles down, and it will be very delicious and will make you look forward to the dish. All of the dishes are freshly prepared, and compared to the German food I've eaten so far, they are really fresh and have a strong flavor. The anxious atmosphere soon became relaxed and calm, and I felt like I could linger for a long time. It's about 40 minutes from Frankfurt, but the surrounding town is beautiful, and I'd definitely like to visit again, so I highly recommend it.

A nice restaurant, with delicious beer and food, the service was very friendly Idstein is a beautiful town with beautiful old houses

We didn't reserve, but we were lucky. Nice speech from the service Ambience matching the half-timbered structure, we liked it. Fresh food, regional.!! No plated meals, (side dishes in separate bowls) great fresh salad. And the greeting from the kitchen, I would have liked to have had it as a main course. = Spaghetti with pesto Delicious wines.

This is a very quaint place with a very good menu as well as daily specials. Food was very good, and the service was excellent - and friendly.

We were just passing through and were looking for a nice restaurant with local cuisine. The food was very tasty, the prices were fair and the service was very friendly. Highly recommended. Thank you very much.

It is a traditional restaurant in Idstein. And this is warmly accepted by the people of Idstein. Nothing works here without a reservation. So that all tables and the long bar are usually full except for the last seat. No wonder. The home-style food is outstanding and inexpensive. There is an unusually wide range of well-kept beers. And the attentive service rounds off the range that rightly makes Peif so popular.

We were looking for a typical place to have dinner near our hotel and we found this one on the maps that had what we were looking for. The truth is that the site, due to its authenticity and architectural beauty, exceeded our expectations. Then its owner and waiters with their kindness and sympathy turned a simple dinner into a memorable moment. To anyone who has the opportunity to visit this site, do not hesitate because it does not disappoint! Thank you for your time! We will return for sure!

Zufällig vorbeigekommen und zum Glück noch einen Platz bekommen. Sehr schön und speziell eingerichtet. Das Beste war die Freundlichkeit des Teams und das Essen war super.

Für mich das BESTE Restaurant in Idstein. Mit freundlicher Bedienung leckeres Essen - auch von der Tageskarte sehr zu empfehlen. Ein wirklich sauberes Restaurant

Food was good, but the service was not convincing. The long waiting times took a toll on the mood

When we saw the locals waiting to for the restaurant to open, we knew it was worth a visit. The menu is typically German and is freshly cooked. Everything we had was delicious and well presented. I can certainly recommend the schnitzel!

A delicious option in the middle of Idstein. We got a table on Saturday evening. The food and the beer were very tasty and both were happy. The staff was really nice. Gladly again.

Super delicious food, good location Nice professional waiter Unfortunately it all took a while, but it was definitely worth it 😁

Very good location, great food, thoughtful service. We felt completely comfortable here.

Another nice evening in the Peif.👌 Great food and friendly service. 👍 Thank you for that.

I've been going to Peif regularly since 1988, with interruptions (due to a change of residence)... I've never been disappointed, because they still cook properly here and with fresh ingredients. Prices were always affordable and reasonable. There are also wonderful things to satisfy your hunger that are not available everywhere. Even if it sometimes takes longer, you are happy to understand because you can see that everyone is always trying to make it as pleasant as possible for all guests. In short, as long as the Peif exists, I will always be happy to be a guest there.

Although I have been a guest at Peif several times, I was shocked by my last experience. I would strongly advise against this restaurant! The service and the quality of the food have deteriorated significantly. Waiting time for the food of more than 2 hours...if I don't have capacity in the kitchen, you can't fill all the tables. Even ordering a drink was a challenge that the waiters responded to taciturnly with annoyed snorts of contempt. You actually felt bad ordering a drink… In general, the waiter's answers to questions were extremely rude and downright rude. You were treated like you were stupid. When the food finally came after almost 3 hours, the quality was anything but satisfactory, especially for the time we waited. There was no response from the waiter or an apology. When I asked whether the food tasted good, which it didn't particularly (I honestly admitted that), the only response was: "You know that I have to tell the kitchen now?" If he doesn't want to hear my opinion, then why is he asking me??? Can't constructive and honest criticism be viewed positively? The waiter was definitely not happy that there were two separate bills at the end. When he asked who would want to pay what, he groaned more than annoyed. When a waitress pointed out that the table next door would also want to pay, she said: “Oh, they want to pay too?” THEY??? Absolutely rude term for guests especially within earshot. I wouldn't come back for now...

First time there and it will definitely be the last time. We were told there would be an hour wait before we could order, which was fine with us. However, it took over two hours for the food to arrive! The landlady came to the table to order drinks and reacted inappropriately to a query about the wine list, and that's when things started. It continued with the fact that the baked Camembert without fried parsley, which is part of the dish according to the menu, was not served. This was not provided even when asked. Nevertheless, the price was charged in full. A dish that I had ordered as a small portion was billed as a large portion and was not changed even when I asked. The waitress simply ignored me. Nevertheless, I gave the young man a tip, for which he didn't even thank me. He handed me the receipt with the commanding tone: "here! sign!" No please, no thank you... There seems to be a lot going wrong in this restaurant. In my opinion, the reason for this can also be seen in the operator's unreflective and unfriendly comments in the previous reviews. Friendliness and willingness to serve seem to be a foreign word to her.

We were told right from the start that it would take an hour. We had no problem with that. But unfortunately it took 30 minutes until the drinks were even taken. After 2.5 hours the food finally arrived. The food is generally of very good quality. Unfortunately today it wasn't very satisfactory. The fries were basically raw, unseasoned and soaked in fat. Individual ingredients were missing (even though they were on the menu). But even that can happen. But what is bad is an inexperienced operator. Honest and constructive criticism is not addressed and only answered in a curt manner. They don't even thank you for tips (despite a 2.5 hour wait...). And even so, the interaction with the guests was very rude. In a business that relies on guests, you should place more emphasis on good service. We'll probably come back anyway. Nevertheless, we would like to readjust what has been mentioned.

음식 기다리는 시간이 너무 길고 고기가 약간 질겼다.실내는 조금 답답했다.

Ein sehr schönes altes Fachwerkhaus, ein wirklich passender Ort für ein Restaurant. Das Haus liegt auch ganz zentral in der Altstadt von Idstein, direkt am König Adolf Platz. Am Abend ist das Haus auch sehr schön beleuchtet und das Restaurant ist gut besucht, das lässt auf eine sehr gute Küche schließen. Bei unserem nächsten Besuch in Idstein werden wir das Restaurant dann auch als Gäste besuchen.

Die Auswahl und das Essen waren sehr gut. Preisleistung stimmt. Leider war der Service unterirdisch. Wichtig ist zu unterscheiden, dass es nicht an der Bedienung lag, das arme Mädchen hat bis auf leichte Unterstützung von einem jungen Mann (der an dem Tag den 1. Arbeitstag hatte) über 50 Gäste bewirtet!!!!! Wir haben lange gewartet bis wir Getränke bestellen konnten, dann noch länger bis das Essen bestellt werden konnte. Das Essen kam nach über 1 Stunde. Die Wirtin hätte sich persönlich entschuldigen müssen, bzw vielleicht auch eine kleine Aufmerksamkeit spendieren können. Garnichts! Wir werden hier nicht mehr hingehen.

Das Essen ist super lecker, vorallem der Spargel ist wärmstens zu empfehlen. Gerne immer wieder, allerdings am liebsten im Sommer.

Sehr schönes Restaurant, nettes Personal. Leckeren Salat gegessen. Sehr zu empfehlen.

Uriges Speiselokal in der schönen Altstadt von Idstein, nette Bedienung, liebevolle Deko, leckeres Essen

Gutes Essen und tolle Atmosphäre ( besonders draußen an schönen Sommertagen )

Schönes Ambiente, sehr nette und flotte Bedienung. Das Essen war hervorragend und im Gegensatz zu anderen Restaurants sehr gut gewürzt.

Absolut klasse Restaurant. Das Essen ist wirklich immer sehr gut und qualitativ hochwertig. Gute Kenntnisse was Lebensmittelunverträglichkeiten angeht. Sonst bisher in keinem anderen Restaurant so in der Form positiv erlebt.

Wir hatten einen sehr schönen Abend und die Live-Musik mit dem Jazz Trio war ein tolles Highlight.

Essen in historischem Anbiente - wunderschön. Tolle Speisekarte, Bewirtung durch freundliche Chefin - Toll

Essen ist Mega lecker auf zur Weihnachtsfeier Feier Gänsekeule mit Klößen und Rotkraut auch super zubereitet schönes Ambiente mitten in der Altstadt von Idstein Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis super

Gemütliches, rustikales Restaurant. Wir haben dort eine super leckere Hasenkeule verspeist. Der Service war trotz voll besetztem Restaurant sehr freundlich und flink. Online Buchung unseres Tisches hat hervorragend funktioniert. Ich freue mich auf den nächsten Aufenthalt in der Peif!

Gutes Essen, etwas ausgefallenere Biersorten, nette Bedienung, schöne Atmosphäre.

Wir haben sehr spät noch ein Restaurant gesucht um eine Kleinigkeit zu essen. Der Gasthof zur Pfeife war trotz der späten Stunde noch gut besucht. Wir wurden sehr freundlich in dem kleinen rustikalen Gastraum empfangen. Natürlich gab es auch noch etwas zu Essen. Ich selber habe den gebackenen Camembert mit frittierter Petersilie, Preiselbeeren und Toast gewählt. Die Vorstellung, dass man Petersilie frittiert hat mich allerdings erstmal etwas irritiert. Meiner anfänglich Skepsis folgte dann aber ein Geschmackerlebnis, dass ich nur jedem empfehlen kann. Das Lokal selber ist wie gesagt sehr rustikal in einem alten Fachwerkhaus untergebracht und schon das sorgt für Gemütlichkeit. Abgerundet wird alles mit einem sehr freundlichen und aufmerksamen Service. Wir waren rundum zufrieden.

Gemütliches Ambiente, leckeres Essen und die Besitzerin und das Team sind sehr freundlich

Ambiente ist sehr schön und sauber. Das Personal war sehr freundlich aber die Bedienung extrem langsam. Wir haben auf die Karten und auf die ersten Getränke lange warten müssen (40min) es wurde auch nicht zwischendurch von sich aus nach Wünschen gefragt, obwohl alles auf dem Tisch leer war. Das Essen hat allen (10 Personen) mittelmäßig geschmeckt, irgendwie nicht genug geschmackvoll und hat ewig gedauert bis es serviert wurde. Preis-Leistung ok. Wir waren zum ersten Mal dort und hatten mehr erwartet.

Wat een geweldige keuken. Knus en gezellig. Aparte herfstkaart. 'Hirsch' van harte aanbevolen!

Wir kommen oft hier her zum essen. Es gibt immer leckere Tagesempfehlungen auf einer Kreidetafel welche wir gerne annehmen. Die SPeisekarte ist ansonsten recht Rustikal gehalten, passt aber super zum gesamtkonzept. Manchmal dauert es hier etwas länger mit den Getränken, aber da man hier wirklich schön und gemütlich sitzen kann, kann man währendessen gut entspannen. Die Gerichte sind immer sehr gut zubereitet und bis jetzt wurden wir noch nie enttäuscht. Wir freuen uns auf den nächsten Besuch!

Nicht schnell, aber sehr lecker.

Man sitzt sehr schön auf dem Marktplatz, Ambiente ist hübsch. Auch das Essen hat gut geschmeckt, Preis-Leistung ok. Nur mit dem Service waren wir sehr unzufrieden. Die Dame war sehr unwirsch und unaufmerksam, auf die Getränke haben wir lange warten müssen und es wurde auch nicht von sich aus nach Wünschen gefragt.

Wir haben uns nicht ganz wohl gefühlt... Vieleicht lag es an der Bedienung die sehr gestresst war und nicht wusste welche andere Getränke die nicht auf der Karte waren sonst da sind. Mein aperol war eine sehr mini Portion das war sehr verwirrend war. Warum nimmt man nicht ein ganz normales glass dafür? Ein schluck und es war weg wir haben es nicht verstanden

Seit langem gut,immer wieder gerne

We kwamen er laat aan, maar werden er hartelijk ontvangen. Het eten was heel verzorgd en heel lekker.

Personnel aux petits soins, cuisine excellente, agréable surprise et établissement plein de charme !

Sehr gutes essen. Sehr schöne Tische am Marktplatz, sehr gute Lage! Sehr nettes Personal! Personell derzeit etwas unterbesetzt: Bedienungen dadurch überfordert…

Heerlijk gegeten en gedronken. Goede bediening. Er was niks op aan te merken. Bij uitzondering geef ik 5 sterren.

I've eaten there. Very fast service. Very very clean toilets. I was thorougly impressed. Also - the pipe theme is going strong in this restaurant. It has a grandma-vibe to it. The food quality is very solid - very decent. Prices are what to expect from a location so central in the tourist centre of Idstein. But it's definitely a good place to wind down and eat your savory German meal.

Traditionelle Gerichte im neuen frischen Gewand - einfach lecker in toller Atmosphäre!

Sieht sympathisch aus. Wurden trotz Öffnungszeiten bis 1h laut Google um 23.15h abgewiesen. Zwar höflich, aber ohne Gast-Interesse. Verständlich, aber dennoch schade ☹️ für eine Gruppe von 10 Personen, die Umsatz gebracht hätte…
