Hambels Restaurant Klaus Hambel in Wachenheim an der Weinstraße

You shouldn't actually advertise here because the Hambels Restaurant is always so fully booked that you can hardly get a seat at short notice. Honestly, it's 1000000% worth it

A small but very nice restaurant that belongs to the Hambel butcher shop. Original Palatinate specialties and, above all, Saumagen, which became world famous thanks to former Chancellor Helmut Kohl, are served here. You can also enjoy the delicious wine from the region. The staff is very accommodating and friendly. I can highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely come back

Very nice restaurant with good food and service. It's a shame that there are only a few outdoor spaces.

Great little restaurant opposite the Hambel butcher's shop, which produces excellent meat and sausage products. We had the Saumagenrondell and were thrilled. The staff is also extremely friendly. You'll be happy to come back here.

We were traveling on our bikes and had already given up hope of finding a restaurant. “HAMBELS RESTAURANT” was a lovely experience for us!

In pleasantly air-conditioned rooms, a perfectly prepared beef salad with fried potatoes is served by super friendly and attentive service staff. The little greeting from the kitchen is just lovely!!

Pleasant little air-conditioned restaurant. Very attentive service staff and food, as always, of very good quality. It's also worth driving there from Heidelberg to eat.

Always great here. Friendly staff and very tasty food. Like almost everywhere in the Palatinate, a very good price-performance ratio. We'll be back

Great ambience, very good food.

After making a reservation by telephone, an extremely friendly and cheerful service awaited us shortly before closing time. The food was excellent and we were thrilled by the different sausage variations. A successful end to the day, many thanks to the entire team for this positive experience.

Absolutely great restaurant with excellent Palatinate dishes.

We wanted to try the Palatinate specialty “Saumagen” and ended up in Hambel’s restaurant. And we haven't regretted it. The food was perfectly prepared and tasted great.

Positively surprised. Very good food, great service and appealing ambience... great

Four hungry people made happy... everything was great in terms of taste, price and service, only local food and wine, you won't find a Rijoha on the wine list here. Please make a reservation, if possible not in the anteroom. Always happy again, thank you for the friendly hospitality.

Very fine felt saumage, very tasty

I ate Saumagen for the first time. I can highly recommend eating in this restaurant with an attached butcher shop. The chef loves what he does. Super tasty and highly recommended

Had a great meal at Hambel again!!!

Very tasty food at extremely fair prices, plus friendly and attentive service. Be sure to reserve in advance

Very nice little restaurant with good cuisine at Swabian prices. The nice and friendly service makes you feel right at home. Any time. Thank you for the beautiful and tasty food.

Great lunch, good wine, nice service, everything traveled sensibly, I'll be back

Great Palatinate dishes and good wines at reasonable prices. Always an experience.

Nice restaurant with pretty good service, and the best Saumagen I've ever eaten. The liver dumplings and the great bratwurst are also great (finally one that isn't dripping with fat). The “sweet Saumagen” as a great dessert is also worth a sin!

You can enjoy the relaxed and delicious specialties of the Hambel butcher shop and more in the restaurant opposite the butcher shop! We received a very friendly welcome and immediately felt at home. There is a great selection of Palatinate specialties, but also vegetarian dishes. The rump steak was excellently prepared and the fried potatoes and sauce were amazing. The prices are absolutely fair, and the selection of drinks is also great. We'll definitely be back soon!

Legendary traditional Palatinate cuisine from the cult butcher The Hambel butcher's shop in Wachenheim became world-famous thanks to former Chancellor Helmut Kohl's love for original Palatinate Saumagen. Kohl presented his favorite dish to international state guests in the Deidesheimer Hof restaurant, who tried this traditional dish with sometimes mixed feelings. The supplier was the traditional Wachenheim butcher shop Hambel, which is now run by Klaus Hambel. The products of the “Saumagenpapst” are offered daily in numerous restaurants in the area - his blood sausage has even made it into the restaurants of the Flönz metropolis of Cologne. In this family business, the main role in this family business is, in addition to the fresh and canned sausage produced by hand, still the pig's stomach, which at Hambels is made not only in the plastic casing but also in the pig's stomach or natural intestine. Every Friday from 10 a.m. the fresh sow stomachs in their characteristic shape are sold directly from the kettle to restaurateurs and private customers. Klaus Hambel has created many creative Saumagen recipes: Whether with veal truffles, asparagus, chestnuts, pistachios, apple-plum rum, feta or chanterelles. His Maultaschen with Saumagen filling are also sensational. Because the demand for his products continues unabated, he runs a small restaurant opposite the butcher shop in a stylishly renovated old town house, where you can try his specialties perfectly prepared by chef Thomas Siegle. We were lucky and, after a short-term reservation, we were able to enjoy wonderfully tasting veal truffle Saumagen on creamed savoy cabbage and sensationally delicious Saumagen-Maultäschle on cream cabbage. The cordon bleu with Saumagen cheese filling was also an exceptional delight. The prices in Hambels Restaurant are extremely affordable given the outstanding quality. Bet that after visiting the restaurant you will shop in the butcher shop opposite and take the meat and sausage products home with you? Canned sausage and black pudding are just as popular as black pudding with walnuts and brittle. Tip: If you don't want to travel to Wachenheim regularly to shop, you can order most of the cult butcher's specialties in the online shop.

We had always wanted to visit Hambel's restaurant. Since we were in the Palatinate again, we took the opportunity and reserved a table. The restaurant is normally equipped. We missed the typical Palatinate flair here. The menu included the usual Palatinate dishes. The bratwursts with vine cabbage we ordered were good and tasty. A second visit would be out of the question for us!!

Here you can find the original Saumagen, which former Chancellor Helmut Kohl regularly bought in the Hambel butcher shop opposite and served to his guests. Palatinate cultural history in its most beautiful form! The staff in the restaurant are very friendly, the rooms are meticulously clean and strict attention is paid to hygiene. Reservations by telephone are highly recommended as the restaurant is extremely well booked. We felt absolutely comfortable and will definitely come back to try the other specialties from the kitchen. The pig's stomach was just the beginning.

We were in Wachenheim and spontaneously went by Hambel. Thanks to a super nice waitress we got a table (after a short walk of half an hour)👍. I can't say whether it's the best Saumagen (I don't have enough comparison options) but it was absolutely delicious. Thank you for that 🙏♥️

Today I ate a super tasty Saumagen from the best Saumagen butcher, the many awards speak for themselves, and at a fair price ;-) The team was also great on the road, I'll be back soon, maybe then there's a reference to the Luca app disappeared from the bill... All in all great!

Very tasty food, super friendly service. Everything was perfect! Would love to come back.

The food is great. Service friendly

Very friendly staff, well-kept atmosphere and very tasty food.

A MUST for lovers of Palatinate cuisine - especially the "Saumagen" - there are all sorts of variations, but all of them... very tasty 😃

Very nice restaurant. It's not very big, so it's advisable to make a reservation. We had tapas, the Saumagenrondell and corn-fed chicken. Everything was very tasty and attractively presented. The service was very friendly and attentive. The prices are reasonable. We will definitely come back.

Service is still alive here. Super delicious food and super friendly service made this evening an unforgettable experience.

Everyone in and around Wachenheim knows the Hambel butcher's shop... opposite the nice restaurant where you can try the butcher's products. In the front area (entrance) you sit a little more at a distance, in the “inside” the ambience is nicer. You should make a reservation! It's always very busy here. Service staff try to fulfill all wishes. If it's full it can still take a while... nice and friendly, but also only two hands. The menu is - how could it be otherwise - very “meat-heavy”. Nevertheless, there are also vegetarian dishes. However, I was disappointed with the vaunted Saumagen... as always, a matter of taste... However, the “Hambels” is a recommendation for guests who want down-to-earth cuisine.

Nicht leicht zu finden und das Parken ist schwierig. Das ist aber die einzige Kritik die ich Hege. Wer das überwindet wird von einem sehr netten und aufmerksamen Personal in einem sehr schönen Restaurant mit echt köstlichen Speisen belohnt. Alles echt top.👍

Als erstes ist der absolut freundliche... harmonische...top Service zu erwähnen..... Sehr faire Preise für top Qualität beim Essen ...von vor-/ über Hauptspeisen bis hin zum Nachtisch.... Was ich noch verbessern würde ...ist das Anrichten auf dem Teller.. beim Cordon Bleu.. das lag so alleine da... Absolut zu empfehlen... So macht es an der Weinstraße.. Spass essen zu gehen....

Wir waren heute zum ersten Mal in diesem Restaurant.Alles war Spitzenmäßig,schmackhaftes Essen,sehr freundliche Mitarbeiter. Kann ich nur weiterempfehlen.

das war einsame Spitze, vom Service bis zur Speisekarte das Preis Leistungsgefälle sensationell bitte unbedingt besuchen ich komme sehr gerne wieder

So schmeckt die Pfalz 👍 Die Karte haben wir bestimmt schon rauf und runter gegessen und waren immer mehr als zufrieden. Dass die Produkte der hauseigenen Metzgerei spitze sind wissen wir seit Jahrzehnten…, dazu kommt jetzt das können von Thomas dem Küchenchef mit seinem kleinen Team, der seine schwäbischen Wurzeln nicht verheimlicht. Ganz toll was aus der kleinen Küche kommt. Ein Tip am Rande - die Portionen setzen schon einen guten Hunger voraus…. Die drei Damen im Service runden das positive Erlebnis ab. Freundlich, aber auch resolut mit Pfälzer Humor und immer gut drauf, vorallem wenn der Betze gewonnen hat. Gute Weine aus Wachenheim und der nahen Region.

Alles hat hervorragend geschmeckt. Ambiente modern pfälzisch, Service auf Zack, Viertel Grauburgunder ganz hervorragend und preislich sehr im grünen Bereich. Man fühlt sich wohl in diesem Lokal, das ist die Hauptsache. Da war ich nicht zum letzten Mal.

Der lecker ste Saumagen, denn wir gegessen haben. Super freundlich und schnell.

Unglaublich der Laden der Einkauf und die Qualität ist der weite Weg wehrt

Sehr schöne Atmosphäre mit sehr guten Speisen mit prämierten Fleischwaren aus der hauseigenen Metzgerei. Gutes Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis und super freundliches Personal

Wir kommen seit Jahren in das kleine gemütliche Restaurant und können die pfälzische Küche und die guten regionalen Weine nur empfehlen. Hier wird frisch und liebevoll gekocht und Sabine und Nicky bieten einen herzlichen und zuvorkommenden Service, bei dem man sich nur wohlfühlen kann. Selbstverständlich haben wir in der Metzgerei eingekauft, damit wir auch daheim etwas von diesen Köstlichkeiten genießen können. Bis bald und vielen Dank. :-)

Alles war sehr lecker und frisch vorbereitet, sehr herzliche und zuvorkommende Service.wir haben sehr gut gegessen und wohl gefühlt.😊

Ein sehr nettes Restaurant mit sehr freundlichem Service Personal, gutes Essen und Trinken, einfach empfehlenswert.

Kurzum: alles Bombe! Top Preis Leistung, leckere, kreative Gerichte und gute Portionen und ein super herzlicher netter Service. Gerne wieder!

Stilvoll eingerichtetes Restaurant mit Pfälzer Gerichten und einer guten Auswahl an Weinen der umliegenden Weingüter. Das Essen war sehr lecker. Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis passt. Das Servicepersonal ist äußerst freundlich und zuvorkommend. Wünsche wurden berücksichtigt.

Wunderbare Pfälzer Küche!! Das Viererlei vom Saumagen ist hervorragend! Absolut zu empfehlen. Preislich mehr als angemessen! Update: auch ein Jahr später weiterhin Weltklasse :-)

Sehr schönes Restaurant mit freundlichem Service, der die Wünsche vom Gast gerne erfüllt. Das Essen war toll angerichtet, hat frisch und sehr lecker geschmeckt und "es war einfach mal was anderes". Wir kommen gerne wieder 🙂

Ein toller Abend! Sehr netter Service. Das Essen, Saumagen-Cordonbleu, ein echter Kracher! Außerdem auf dem Teller: Saumagen Maultaschen und Fleschknepp. Es gibt nix zu motzen! Alles sehr gut gemacht und freundlich serviert. Preisleistung auch super. Die Menschen in Wachenheim sind durchweg ein sehr freundliches, kontaktfreudiges und herzliches Völkchen. Darum noch 2 Sympathiesternchen extra ⭐️⭐️

Gutes Preis Leistungsverhältnis

Super, Super, Super Kann ich nur empfehlen. Passt wirklich alles. Vom Essen bis zum Service. Sehr lecker und wirklich freundlicher Service. Beide Frauen wirklich toll und wir fühlten uns willkommen. Wir waren 6 Personen und selbst bei der Rechnung musste niemand sagen was er er hatte. Das nenne ich mal aufmerksam und das findet man selten. So macht Essen gehen noch mehr Spaß, wenn drum herum auch alles stimmt.

Verdiente volle 5 Sterne ! Super leckeres Essen und toller Service.

Pfälzer Cuvee wie immer perfekt.

Toller,sehr netter Service Sehr gutes Essen in sehr schönem Ambiente

Hambel ist ja bekannt für seinen sehr guten Saumagen. Diverse Politiker und Promis haben dort schon gegessen. Gegenüber der Metzgerei ist das Restaurant. Sehr gemütlich, nicht zu groß, mit sehr netter Bedienung. Die Kartoffelsuppe mit Blutwurst war sehr gut. Ebenso das Saumagen-Rondell für 2 Personen, so konnten wir verschiedene Saumagen probieren.

Sehr freundliches Servicepersonal. Dazu noch sprachbegabt. Kommen öfter zum Essen und auch mit Freunden. Besuch aus Mexico, da mussten wir auf alle Fälle wieder hin. Waren begeistert.

Heute bei Hambels Mittagessen, Kartoffelsuppe, Fleschknepp mit Meerrettich und Saumagem mit Chili 🐑 Käsefüllung, vom feinsten .Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Sehr feines Essen. Super nettes Personal.

Super Service und super schnelle Abwicklung. Spitzenklasse im Essen

Das Essen wie immer sehr gut, aber leider mussten wir lange darauf warten. Jedoch kommen wir gerne wieder.

Saumagen und andere pfälzische Spezialitäten überraschend anders und aussergewöhnlich gut, unbedingt probieren. Reservierung empfohlen.

Ein rundum gelungener Abend. Lecker Wein zu fairen Preisen. Tolles Essen und kreativer Nachtisch.
