Hensoldt Kantine in Ulm

The room appears flashy, comfortable, warm, almost luxurious. Almost........In fact the tables are not covered by tablecloths but, as in a diner, recently hygienic placemats, on which plates and cutlery, probably synthetic, are placed. The waiter, when the customers leave the table, passes us a sponge and voilà, on to the next one. We took advantage of it on 23.XII. 2023 of the buffet (cost €38 each, €19 for children). The choice was wide and of good quality. However, the tray with smoked fish (also excellent) was sadly almost empty at 7.30pm and was only replenished when we were leaving. The spoon for the warming dish with "mediterranische gratin" (modest) was encrusted with potatoes, making it difficult to serve, and it remained so. The fact that the beer served to me was not cold was very typical of a GDR restaurant. Ditto the failure to clean some obvious food remains that fell onto the carpet while the waiter was serving us. The cost for drinks was, of course, generous. But charging a bottle of water (0.75 cl.) the sum of €8.20 is like raiders in the desert. When it came time to pay the bill of €230.10, I only had 0.90 cents left. to the waiter who had treated us with disdain and inefficiency, perhaps because he considered us modest and inexperienced customers, given that we did not dress elegantly.

We had a wonderful evening with incredibly delicious food and great service. Thank you for making our day in Ulm so special!

It's a shame that this modern building offers a barrier-free entrance to the city center, but the restaurant next door makes access difficult for wheelchair users. Wheelchair users can get into every village butcher's shop without any outside help.

Unfortunately, we had to wait almost an hour for our food, even though the concept of self-service and pagers actually suggests faster processing. It would have been helpful if it had been clear that you could get the drinks yourself without waiting for the pager. The ramen was okay, but nothing special in terms of taste. If we had known about these processes beforehand, we would have decided against tipping when paying - which is done at the beginning. Unfortunately it wasn't the best experience for us, so we probably won't come back.

I believe this is an invitation to charge for the toilet for your customers! There's not even a way to wash your hands!
