Heiliggeist in Mainz

I chose this restaurant because of the ambience. Unfortunately the food was just mediocre. The roulades were very dry and the meat was a bit tough. It took 1.5 hours for the food to be served.

Competent, friendly, very customer-oriented employees who create a pleasant atmosphere. Compliment! Complaining at a high level: The quality of the toilets doesn't keep up with the rest.

Fabulous venue with stunning architecture. Attentive service, great food and a wine list to satisfy this riesling lover!

It is terrible to wait 1.30 hour to eat a salad. Stupid place never ever again.

Very special! Delicious food, polite staff. Luckily we sat on the edge, because the more crowded it gets, the louder it gets - crazy sound in the church building, more beneficial during the service than when eating - it didn't really bother us, because the great ambience made up for it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Overall, still a very nice place to stay. It's a shame that the menu is somewhat reduced and breakfast and lunch are no longer offered.

Die Preise sind hoch, der Putz bröckelt von den Wänden und Mäuse kümmern sich ungeniert um die Essensreste zwischen den Füßen der Gäste.

It had been a very nice evening. We were very satisfied. I recommend the restaurant.

Very nice evening in a wonderful atmosphere

Good to visit with small children. Child-friendly service and loving support!

It was wonderful to eat here again in the old homeland. The venison goulash could have been a little hotter and not mixed with the red cabbage. Otherwise perfect.

Brilliant ambience, delicious food and good wine!

Very nice atmosphere, very friendly staff, small menu but something for every taste, great quality of the food.

We had reserved a table two days before. They wanted to seat us at a table in the aisle in front of the bar. An emergency table - although less than half of the seats were occupied. After the implementation, we really enjoyed it, as we have for the last 17 years. Food perfect. Service friendly. So it's just a lack of tact.

Were there with a dog. No water was provided for the dog (but we didn't ask). Food was super tasty. Drinks (soda, spritzer) were also delicious.

Great food and great service by our waiter. Only feedback that we have is to add more options to the appetizer menu. The filet and the short ribs were perfect.

The food is waaaaay overpriced for the quality of what you actually get. And all of the cocktails we tried had a very off putting taste. In particular, I ordered an aperol sour, it tasted like chunks of lipstick. I was not wearing lipstick so idk what that was. I also ordered the lachs w risotto, and the risotto was so hard, tasted like undercooked rice…not like what risotto is supposed to be. Honestly, you are just paying to eat in a cool church type setting. I wouldn’t recommend.

Our service (a young gentleman in a white shirt) was excellent - professional, quick, friendly and helpful. The dishes were all very good, with decent portions and very good quality. The same applies to the regional and international wine selection. Points are deducted for the terrible telephone hotline, according to which the restaurant is closed, and for the online reservation service. After researching the website, we found a telephone connection to a person. I also had the wrong wine returned the second time I was served. This was brought back to the table. A no-go in this price range. Our actual waitress apologized afterwards, but in this price range that's simply not necessary and I was very embarrassed before my visit.

Als Restaurant und Bar ist der Heilig Geist in Mainz eine bekannte Adresse. Wir kamen von außerhalb und hatten das Glück, noch einen Tisch zu bekommen. Der Service war excellent - unser Gastgeber „Asaad“ war sehr aufmerksam - schnell und angenehm im Umgang. Seine Empfehlung hielten was sie versprachen. Wein und Speisen passten - wenn man am Rand sitzt ist das Ambiente auch sehr gemütlich. Alles in allem ein toller Abend - wir kommen ganz sicher in 2025 zurück!!!

Ich bin als Studentin gerne ins Heiligest gegangen. In den letzten Jahren war ich nur noch sporadisch da, weil ich die Speisekarte nicht mehr ansprechend fand. Es hatte sich lange Jahre nicht geändert. Vor einiger Zeit sind wir wieder mit Freunden hingegangen. Es war wirklich schön und die Speisen haben allen sehr geschmeckt. Dazu muss man sagen, dass die Preise enorm angezogen wurden. Ich bin gerne in dem Restaurant, ab einer gewissen Zeit wird der Geräuschpegel halt sehr laut. Das muss man mögen.

We have gone twice and it hasn't disappointed yet!

Very friendly staff, very tasty food, my first choice for eating out.

Ambience: good Menu: Croustartes were out, wines from the menu weren’t available Food: Steak Frites was ordered “medium rare” but came out medium to medium well, gluten free options available Staff: friendly, but could have stopped by more often to order more/earlier, wine for the main course came to the table when we were halfway done, empty glasses could have been picked up in between Other: A little birthday gesture with a candle would have been nice

Very pleasant and chilled atmosphere. Very friendly staff, everything is great for children too. We would be happy to come and visit you again.

A bit hidden in the second row. Wonderful ambience in a historic building. Great service with specialists. The drinks were delicious. We'll be back

Laut, hektisch und extrem unfreundlicher Service. Da nützt auch das Ambiente nichts, wenn man sich als Gast nicht wohl fühlt.

What can you say: The location is great, the service was super friendly and accommodating and the food tasted very, very good!

Always nice there. The ambience is simply unbeatable. The food was also very good. The Aperol Tower is always a highlight ;) ... Unfortunately we had to wait a long time for the food, but we attribute this to the Christmas business, because overall the service (we were there twice in one week) was very good and attentive and friendly. Maybe one more note: due to the vaulted structure of the restaurant, the acoustics can sometimes be strenuous... We therefore always take people with hearing aids or older people in the middle of the table... ;)

A lovely evening in a great atmosphere. We had. Ordered the goose 3 times which was very good. Unfortunately, the schnitzel and the two children's schnitzels were far too dry and the fries were lukewarm. The goose was worth the money, but at around 28 euros it wasn't worth it at all. Unfortunately the salad was also forgotten as a starter but the service was so nice that you can't blame her.

Not what it was anymore. Food average. Carelessly arranged, women's toilets are bad with broken lids and broken handles. Lives from tourists and companies and, last but not least, from its old reputation.

Wir waren immer begeistert vom HEILIGGEIST aber es ist mittlerweile leider nur noch Durchschnitt und Massenabfertigung. Gestern habe ich Freunde zu meinem Geburtstag eingeladen und wollte in einem schönen Ambiente bei gutem Essen und Trinken feiern. Leider war es sehr enttäuschend! Es fing an mit einer sehr überheblichen Platzanweiserin die uns den Eindruck vermittelte das wir dankbar sein dürfen, dass wir reservieren durften. Kein herzliches Willkommen sondern ein genervtes ins Pad schauen und losrennen zum Platz. Und dann wortloses Verschwinden. Okay wir waren ja zum essen dort aber auch da die Enttäuschung. Lieblos angerichtet, salzig und nicht den Preisen angemessen. Das Hirschgulasch wurde in einer Napfartigen Schüssel serviert das an IKEA erinnert. Ebenso die Nudeln und die Gans schwamm inklusive des Rotkrauts und dem Kloß in der Soße. Die Gläser für die Nichtalkoholischen Getränke sind abgenutzt und nicht mehr ansehnliche. Die Seltersflasche war angestoßen und hat ihre Splitter im Finger hinterlassen. Es wurde zwar angeboten die Flasche auszutauschen aber kein Wort der Entschuldigung. Dadurch kamen wir in den Genuss der Toiletten da der Splitter natürlich Spuren hinterließ und das Blut abgewaschen werden musste, wo sich die lieblosigkeit weiter fortsetzt. Kaputte Klodeckel , angerissen Spühlknopf. Alles in allem ein enttäuschenden Abend der nicht mehr an das gehobene Ambiente vergangener Tage erinnert. Außer die Preise die sind auf einem anderem Niveau.

Great restaurant with great food. Everyone very friendly and helpful. 👍👍

The location is really unique, we really enjoyed our evening at the Heilig Geist. Many thanks to the wonderful kitchen and the great service staff.

Excellent potato soup, fantastic beef fillet, good drinks, very nice location. Price performance is right

Very nice location with great service and excellent cuisine. We would be happy to come back.

I organized a large event with 140 people at the Heiliggeist and we received excellent care. The restaurant has a fantastic atmosphere and the service was very good. Unfortunately, the food we ordered (flying buffet) was sold out very quickly, but the kitchen and service team must be given credit for providing more food spontaneously and improvised. This is not a given. I can only recommend the Holy Spirit.

We are from Montreal Canada, but have been here several times over the last twenty-five years. A very favorite establishment here in Mainz. The total experience is raving 10/10 every time. Consistency in everything seems to be the obvious secret, every outing, every meal has always been a very pleasurable and gastronomique experience!

We had a great evening, a really good meal, in a great environment and with world-class service. What more could you want!!!!

Thank you very much for this wonderful evening. Not only was the restaurant beautifully decorated for Christmas, the atmosphere and lighting were also fantastic. We had booked a romantic evening including a service package (white table setting, lots of tea lights, bottle of champagne & roses) and were shown to a very nice table. The service was incredible and we felt very warmly welcomed and looked after. The food was fantastic as always. The Riesling sparkling wine was wonderfully dry and delicious. The 11 roses were over 50cm long. So thank you very, very, very much for this wonderful evening. We'll be back!!

A wonderful evening spent with friends over delicious food. Everyone was thrilled and the attentive service rounded off the experience. The only complaint would be the noise level. This doesn't make entertaining at a table of 6 people easy.

Unfortunately it wore off when I ate. Compare the goose leg from before (two dumplings, breadcrumbs, chestnuts, baked apple, lots of sauce) with the one from today. Still costs 32 euros.

The restaurant is super nice inside and the food was very tasty with good portions. However, the service and specifically the woman who took us to our place was very unfriendly

We experienced a restaurant with excellent food and service from Asaad, just great. We would love to come back.

Just perfect! The food was excellent, the atmosphere was unique, and the service was second to none. A special thank you goes to Asaad, who made the evening unforgettable for us with his professionalism and friendliness. Rarely have we experienced such attentive and warm service. Clearly: 5 stars and an absolute recommendation!”

We had a wonderful time. The staff was busy but very attentive. Food was good. Enjoyable evening.

Magnificent place and atmosphere, out of the ordinary. Quite disappointed with the cuisine however, venison goulash with 3 small pieces and overcooked spaetzle served lukewarm. It’s a shame not to offer more quality German wines by the glass given what beautiful things can be done in the region.

Great atmosphere in an old church. It should be clear that it is relatively loud due to the location, but conversations are still possible without any problems. We had the homemade sourdough bread and the potato soup as starters and the venison goulash and the bread rolls with mushrooms. Everything was super delicious! Service was also very attentive, quick and very friendly. We would be happy to come back - and recommend the restaurant, especially if you prefer hearty dishes.

If you want to eat in church, that's the only place!!! Lovely bathrooms!

Super tasty food, very tasty cocktails, nice ambience, especially at Christmas time and friendly staff. We had a lovely evening and felt very comfortable.

A restaurant with a unique ambience where you immediately feel at home. The staff is super friendly and attentive, the food is fresh and really tasty.

Incredible location great service food very good

Very impressive location, good menu and service, even if it doesn't respect the customer's feedback by being a know-it-all.

Wonderful service and the quality of the wines and food left nothing to be desired. However, one star deducted because the booking was incredibly complicated: there was no table to book using the telephone computer, you could use the internet portal to be put on the waiting list, which was confirmed about 30 minutes later, which made us very happy. When we arrived we noticed that there were around 10 free tables. We don't understand why the reservation was so complicated and time-consuming.

Great location, attentive, friendly service, good food, which all costs something these days. Will go again.

The food is perfectly prepared and very tasty, the service is very attentive and friendly. The ambience in the cross vault is unique. All in all, an all-round perfect restaurant. We'd love to come back.

Yesterday I was accompanied to this restaurant for the first time and was thrilled by the ambience and atmosphere in this historic place. Unfortunately, my enthusiasm was severely dampened when the food arrived. I had venison goulash etc. and actually got a “children’s portion”. The quality was honestly excellent, but if I'm willing to pay a price of almost €30 for a dish like this, I want to be full. Because that is the primary reason for the visit. I don't want to (have to) order an additional desert to achieve this. Therefore, a significant point deduction for food. It's a shame, but that really disappointed me!

A wonderful experience! The food was good, the atmosphere was totally enjoyable and the service was great! Well done, keep it up!

Tasteful and exceptional, great ambience and food.

It was great atmosphere and very kind service. Dood was good value for money. Very tasty.

The employees are very friendly and I asked for a quieter table due to my handicap (I don't hear well). This was implemented really well, thank you very much :-) The food is delivered very quickly, good for our taste, but not so that we would go there again because of the food. Very nice location.

Came here for a special dinner with the flight crew. The location was very close to the hotel, and both the food and service were excellent!! Highly recommend, thank you!

A very nice restaurant. The service was good. Friendly and attentive. The food was also good to very good. All the positive aspects have their price, but I found some dishes (e.g. starters) to be too high in terms of price-performance ratio. Anyone who accepts this - clear recommendation

Highly recommended, The food was very tasty and the service was top. All in one perfect

Everything was very good. However, you should dress a little warmer as it is not exactly warm in the restaurant. Due to the size and the two entrances.

It was very tasty. We will come again!

The food tastes freshly prepared and the waiter is very nice

Has its level, everything OK, but nothing special. And it stays inside. Not suitable for conversations at the table when it is full.

After asking twice, the main course was served after 70 minutes. The fries were rock hard and the cheapest kind, every McDonald's branch does a better job. The veal schnitzel was dry like a towel. All in all, the food was carelessly prepared. The fun was far from worth the €150 we left behind. Village pubs and sports centers are making more of an effort.

We were here for the first time today and it was really very good. A diverse selection on the menu. The portions were large enough so that everyone was satisfied. I can only recommend the truffle pasta! Really inexpensive. The service was also very friendly!

It was a very nice evening. The space is really impressive and it's a great atmosphere. Unfortunately, it gets very loud for many guests. The food was delicious and the service was friendly.

It is strange to eat in an ex-church. It was very tasty, good fresh ingredients which was reflected in the price. But the price and performance are right.

Unfortunately the wait was too long for the great food. The waiter wasn't as attentive as one might expect for the prices. Too bad

Beautiful restaurant with horrible staff. Delicious food, but it took 1,5 hours to arrive, staff got mad when we asked if they had forgotten about us. Too high prices for the service.

Very loud and uncomfortable, intended more for events.

Food and drinks are expensive and it is very loud

Das Heiliggeist hat mit seinem Ambiente 5 Sterne locker erreicht. Ein ehemaliges Krankenhaus umgebaut in ein Restaurant mit sehr viel Charme! Wir haben zur Vorspeise die Kürbissuppe und Mainzer Spundekäs mit Brezeln bestellt gehabt. Der Spundekäs war der Hammer! Die Menükarte an sich war Mittelgross und hat sicherlich für jeden etwas dabei. Die Trüffelpasta war eine 10/10. Ich habe zum ersten Mal ein Coq au Vin gegessen und war sehr gespannt auf das Gericht. Die Rotweinsauce mit dem Hühnchen und dem Kartoffelpüree hat sich perfekt ergänzt! Die Karotten hätte ich jetzt lieber weniger gekocht gehabt, jedoch ist das Geschmackssache. Das Hühnchen zerfiel auf der Zunge und war einfach TOP! Zum Nachtich gab es Crème brulée und Cheesecake, auch diese sind empfehlenswert! Ambiente: 11/10 Bedienung: 10/10 Essen: 11/10 Wir kommen aufjedenfall wieder vorbei und freuen uns jetzt schon!

The Heiliggeist easily achieved 5 stars with its ambience. A former hospital converted into a restaurant with a lot of charm! For starters we ordered pumpkin soup and Mainzer Spundekäs with pretzels. The Spundekäs was awesome! The menu itself was medium in size and certainly has something for everyone. The truffle pasta was a 10/10. It was my first time eating a Coq au Vin and I was very excited about the dish. The red wine sauce with the chicken and mashed potatoes complemented each other perfectly! I would have preferred the carrots to have been cooked less, but that's a matter of taste. The chicken fell apart in your mouth and was just TOP! For dessert there was crème brûlée and cheesecake, which are also recommended! Ambience: 11/10 Service: 10/10 Food: 11/10 We will definitely come back and are already looking forward to it!

Perfect roast beef, generous amounts of truffles in the puree and on the tagliatelle, fast and attentive service. Certainly not on the cheap side in terms of price, but worth every cent. I really enjoyed the evening!

The fact that I, as a boy from Mainz, was in this restaurant for the first time was a mess. I didn't know what I was missing. Now I go more often. Promised.

A uniquely special environment, how could they have gotten everything right? If you look up you see beautiful architraves for days, and you are all in a canteen style seating plan yet you feel utterly and totally at one in your experience. I take my hat off to Asad who made the evening even better by offering us schnapps to cap our night. Should you have a moment in Mainz, make sure to spend it at Heiiggeist.

Super tasty and the service is very attentive.

Great service and great ambience

Very hot in the restaurant and needed some air! Schnitzel was good but need sauces! Salad and soup were excellent! Waiter was amazing but food took too long- 45 min

Very nice, special atmosphere. Very friendly, attentive service. Particularly delicious food, everything freshly prepared and very large portions. Unfortunately it gets relatively loud when there are a lot of guests. I can still only recommend it! You have to experience this!

Absolutely satisfied with the ambience, the excellent service and the food anyway... We'll be back!!!

Great location! Service very friendly and food delicious. Unfortunately, waiting times are too long and the food still lacks that certain extra to the 5th star given the high price.

Lovely place, amazing food and an excellent service. Asaad (our waiter) was paying attention to every single detail. As appetizers we got the “Dreierlei” and the “Rindertartar” which for us was a 10/10. As main dish we got the “Linguine Trüffel” and the “Osso Bucco” (I ordered “Semmelschnitte” as supplement instead of “Kartoffelpüree”) which also were super tasty. The portions are considerable. We had an amazing dinner. i totally recommend it.

As a nurse I was really intrigued with the idea of having dinner in a hospital that was built in 1236. The building is beautiful and it was fun imagining the going on’s of a hospital in the 1300th century. The restaurant is also known for its Weimar schnitzel and it didn’t disappoint.

I write this under the effect of fever, but really I write this under the effect of nostalgia: I had a very nice date here a few months ago: I can't remember almost anything specific about the place other than that we were the last to leave. I think that, deep down, there is no need to describe anything else: if the place lends itself to getting lost in someone, it must be doing something right. Just a little expensive.

Great food... A touch of France...😁not the cheapest.... but quality has its price.....

There were 9 of us and we were all very, very satisfied with the different starters and main courses. The prices are a little higher than in the surrounding area, but the quality and the unusual selection of dishes complemented by the professional service more than make up for it!

The quality of food does not match the high prices and the beautiful atmosphere. Always friendly staff who sometimes forget something and don't mind long waiting times from the kitchen.

The evening was wonderful! Very tasty food, excellent service, very nice location! The only wish would be WiFi for guests. Otherwise great!

The food and drinks were fantastic, the service was also very nice, but - probably due to the sheer size - it took a long time. You have to demand quite a lot; it would be better to be a little more accommodating. Otherwise everything is very good 👍

A beautiful place in Mainz with a lot of history, good food and very committed, friendly service. Good offer for vegetarians too. We felt very comfortable with guests there. Gladly again!

Yesterday evening we were at the Heilig Geist again after a long time and were very happy that there was Croustarte again. It was just as delicious as before. We would be very happy if it remained on the menu!

Our waiter was very, very friendly, accommodating, absolutely personable. I had a nice chat with him and found out that he originally came from Syria. Big thanks to him

提前预订了座位。点了Schnitzen小牛肉排，味道稍微有些偏淡。服务非常在线，啤酒一如继往好喝！想感受环境气氛可以选择在室内用餐！

The food was very good. Full marks would have been given if the service had been significantly better.

HEILIGGEIST is a fanatic restaurant - outstanding food / best German Food in Mainz - beautiful Building-Historic ! Friendly Staff - Wonderful Service - 5 STARS !! A Must Visit when in Mainz !
