Hexenküche in Konstanz

For being a steakhouse, it's unacceptable to get the steak cold or mixing up "bloody" with "well done" (all comes out as "medium", no matter what you wish for). That said, the food is okay once they get it right

We're really disappointed, to put it bluntly. My girlfriend had a carpaccio, which had no lemon or olive oil; it was quite dry. My colleague ordered a medium-rare T-bone steak, which was almost cooked through. I had a Charolais fillet from France (supposedly the best piece of meat in the house, according to the waitress), also ordered medium, and it was also cooked practically well. The waitress commented that the kitchen had told me that was it. My colleague then wanted a little herb butter, and since there was only a little sauce, he had to pay extra. I also had a corn on the cob, and it was practically cold. The waitress reacted the same way. And we had to pay the full price, which we find quite unfair. Mistakes can happen, but you have to react differently. Maybe a price reduction, a free drink, or do it again, which is what I expect from a good restaurant. I can't recommend this place!!!!

Very good 👍and delicious food, it couldn't be better 😋😋😋

Very tasty food, cozy and friendly.

Great restaurant, delicious food I will come here again!

Rustic atmosphere, the menu is kept small and the prices are reasonably high - if you want a steak 😉

Discovered by chance! Super great restaurant, delicious food! Feel free to come by again!

What I absolutely love is that you can watch the chef fry the meat. The meat is high quality and definitely worth the price. The side dishes are also very good. The staff is always friendly and funny. We like to go there every now and then and have never been disappointed. I love the decor too - it absolutely fits the name :).

Best steakhouse in Konstanz. Tasty steaks, corn on the cob, spare ribs, salad, and great deserts. Reservation recommended, especially on weekends.

Unfortunately, our visit was not particularly convincing. The wait for the food was very long, and when the T-bone steak finally came, it was still raw and not prepared as ordered. In addition, the location was very cramped overall, which made the atmosphere rather uncomfortable. Overall, we expected more and hope that the service and quality will improve in the future.

Great service, great quality and large portions. We usually take the large portion of spare ribs, only for big eaters! For everyone else, the small portion is enough, very generous 💪

Meeeeega 👍 we can only recommend the witch's kitchen. The service is great and always attentive and the food...well, what can I say...a real treat 🤩

It's best to reserve in advance as the restaurant is very busy. Very nicely designed, the steak was really great.

Food top. Service top. Ambience exciting, but rather cramped for food

A rustic location in the heart of Konstanz in an upscale style. You will be welcomed here by a very friendly and attentive staff. The furnishings are unique but still interesting because you sit on several levels. That also has a lot of charm. You can watch the steaks being prepared and they are cooked to perfection. The quality is also high and is rounded off with our own herb butter. All in one, a great evening in a special atmosphere. I have a clear recommendation for a visit if you are in Konstanz on the Swabian Sea.

That was honestly the worst evening I've ever had in a restaurant. I have never experienced such an aggressive, disrespectful, arrogant waiter. And the worst thing was that the whole team, including the boss, knew and tolerated this. He made me cry as a customer! The boss apologized half-heartedly to us, but the waiter was just allowed to continue waiting next door. No consequences, no redress. I am completely shocked!

We have never eaten such bad spare ribs, they were so black, dry and not even marinated. The homepage doesn't work either. We came especially from Switzerland because colleagues gave us the type.

well frequented place, it is best to book the meat was excellent and the fried potatoes were tender and crispy homemade Parisian coffee sauce very good place for meat lovers and to finish the homemade tiramisu was a treat

The food was good but nothing special. What bothered me the most was that we waited almost 2 hours for the main course. I was also very disappointed that the menu mainly featured foreign meat.

Perfectly fried to perfection! Top service - very nice staff. Definitely coming back.

An absolute dream for steak lovers! We were thrilled from the first moment - the atmosphere is very inviting and cozy, perfect for a relaxed evening. The service was exceptionally friendly and attentive without being intrusive. The steak was simply perfect – tender, juicy and cooked exactly as requested. You can immediately tell that quality is important here. The side dishes were also fresh and delicious, especially the baked potatoes and salad were a highlight. The wine that the service recommended to us went perfectly. I highly recommend this steakhouse. Everything is just right here – from the food to the service to the ambience. We'll definitely be back!”

Eating out on Monday wasn't such a good idea -> = often rest day That's how we came to the witch's kitchen by chance and were surprised by the great service. Still able to walk but in a wheelchair we were looked after in a very charming way 👍🏼 In the entrance area we were helped to get up the stairs, prepared the place for us. When my companion had to go to the toilet (Attention wheelchairs, another 5 steps!) They closed the entrance area for us and asked us to be patient for a moment. Very accommodating and friendly. Oh yes and the food: Tomato cream soup snails, Beef skewer, cutlet and tiramisu were VERY tasty. I like the atmosphere and the wine was good too. From the dining room you had a view of the grill and could enjoy watching the preparation. All in all : I will definitely not go to the Witch's Kitchen as a substitute next time, but rather spend my time there specifically and with full conviction.

Food was very good. I was disappointed, the chair was almost ripped off my butt because everything was clean. We've been coming for years but we don't let that happen. Remember, you only have 1 restaurant and 100 others.

No more witch cooking!!! – what started beautifully ended badly… Up until now, the Witch's Kitchen has always been a wonderful address for us. A great restaurant with a nice ambience, great food and courteous staff. Unfortunately we can no longer recommend the restaurant. Our last visit last weekend was very disappointing. We arrived at the restaurant about five minutes earlier than agreed. We were told that we could get to a table a little earlier, but that we would have to vacate it 15 minutes earlier than agreed. We decided to wait a little longer and were ultimately allowed to sit down at our originally reserved table, a little late. Since we are regular guests and already knew the wine list, we decided on a wine (which cost just under EURO 70.00 in April 2023) and was now listed on the wine list with the note “Price upon request”. We asked the waiter about the price of the wine. He told us this in mumbled words, which neither of us could understand in the busy restaurant. When we asked again about the exact amount, he just said: "95, but I'll ask the boss, maybe I can do 85 too." Since neither of us heard the amount "200" from the waiter, we assumed EURO 95.00 or EURO 85.00, to which we agreed and ordered this wine with our meal. When it came to billing, we literally had our spit stuck in our throats. The above wine was listed as follows: 1 Various drinks at 85.00 = 285.00 When we pointed out to the waiter that there must be a mistake, he called the waiter in charge, who offered us the wine. We told him about the obvious misunderstanding - he replied brusquely that he had told us the price and that we certainly wouldn't have asked about the price again. Suddenly another employee (possibly also the boss) stood at our table and immediately insulted us, for example with the words: “Do you think that we charge this price so that I can feed my family?” We don't know why this man suddenly got the idea that we had said something about his family... he could have saved himself the derogatory gesture. After a few unsuccessful attempts to explain our view of the situation, we no longer took part in this disrespectful discussion and paid the bill. We were also allowed to refill ourselves this very expensive wine throughout our stay… When we found out about the wine, “Rombone, Barbaresco DOCG 2016, Nada Fiorenzo” on the Internet a little later (by the way, it was the same vintage as in the restaurant), we discovered that this wine was offered at CHF 58.00. A simply disappointing and frustrating experience!!

Very attentive waiters, but the food was average. Shrimp skewers were very small. Spare ribs almost didn't fall off the bone. But the dessert was terrific. I have rarely had such a delicious tiramisu

Mega tasty and super nice service.

I was there today with my wife. A great location is complemented by very good service staff. A great steak or grill menu. The salad plate with melon and ham, tomato mozzarella was very tasty...my wife had a mixed salad...dressing & freshness are recommended...Then came the main course...I had Charolais fillet with potato cratine...to die for! My wife turkey skewers with the same side dish... if you're here in Konstanz you have to go to the HEXENKÜCHE!!! We'll go there again...Thanks to the whole team at HEXENKÜCHE...keep it up.

We were there today. Great food and attentive staff. Happy to recommend

Very disappointing experience! We arrived at our reserved table on time, as always as we are regular guests at this restaurant. However, we were told to stand aside and wait. We waited for more than ten minutes in the narrow, hot and crowded entrance hall without anyone from the staff coming to us to explain why we had to wait. After this long wait, we politely asked a waiter if we could sit at one of the obviously vacant tables. Unfortunately, our question was answered very rudely and flippantly. The waiter rudely explained to us that we had to wait because it was full. We then asked to speak to another waiter as the tone was unfriendly and disrespectful. The same waiter seemed offended and dismissed us from the restaurant without further ado. We are truly appalled by this unprofessional behavior and will definitely not visit this restaurant again after this incident. A very poor service experience and absolutely no hospitality!

Great restaurant, good price, fantastic serving

Very attentive waiters, super delicious food and I'll definitely be back. As always, a perfect evening.

Very rustic but fine cuisine. The steaks are really well prepared and to the point. Highly recommended!!

Very good cuisine, friendly service, top value for money. Highly recommended.

Hammer! Very professional, super tasty. Absolutely inexpensive. We'll definitely come back.

Super dedicated staff, simple but super perfect cuisine, the meat is on point 👍

I took out my Wife here for a Date. I got a reservation the same day it was perfect 🤩 The service was great and the waiters are really friendly and courteous. In a really nice atmosphere you can enjoy the amazing Food, we’ll definitely come again here. My wife and I can only recommend it.

Best boss, the entire team is simply great! I always go there to eat. 👍

Our lamb fillet was very good. The potato gratin, well. Tiramisu was also very good. The service was correct and good. But friendliness was missing. The interior has a style like it did 50 years ago.

Food is really 10/10 there is no better fillet within 100km The salad is also incredibly on point. Not a 10 minute wait on a Friday evening.

Extremely good food! I can only recommend it.

Super good food Small card, always an advantage Very courteous staff Price performance ratio is very good

The food is of very good quality, although the price in relation to it seems a little high to me, since none of the dishes include a garnish. Although they have baby chairs, the atmosphere is not familiar and the services do not have changing tables. Additionally, the spaces are not accessible by wheelchairs or strollers.

Very good food and top service at fair prices. We'll definitely be back.

A very nice, centrally located restaurant. The food and service were unbeatable. Fair prices. Thank you ! We would love to come back 😊

Steak fried to perfection. Slightly higher priced, service quick and friendly.

What I don't like: Tables are very small and everything is very close together, so it's often loud. The food is usually good and the staff is attentive.

I have been a guest there with family, friends and business partners for 10 years and have always been very satisfied.

I was there for dinner with two other people. We sat outside, the food was very good, but the atmosphere was disturbed due to an infestation of flies. A pity.

The witch skewers were very tasty. I liked that there were dishes for both small and large budgets.

Pork chop was very dry and the T-bone was tough

Unfortunately, the witch's kitchen is no longer recommended. The quality of the food is average at best with excessive prices. On top of that, as a guest you will be treated extremely badly by unprofessional staff. We dared to intervene when the main course was more or less placed on top of the starters we were still eating. The main course was then taken away with a lot of unnecessary fuss and served to us again immediately after we finished the starter. Apart from the fact that we weren't even given a minute's break to sip our wine or let alone go to the toilet, we were presented with the main courses that were just lukewarm. We dared to ask for our food to be warmed up. The waiter asked for the temperature to be checked when he brought us the reheated food so that we wouldn't complain again, as he said. But this time too the plates were cold and the food was only quickly heated up. From then on we were just looking forward to coffee and dessert in another restaurant and said nothing more. Despite all this, we showed goodwill and added a tip of 5 euros to the 200 euros bill for the three of us. The peak happened when we left the restaurant. The very tense-looking waiter came rushing straight towards us. He snapped at us that our complaints were not justified, especially since they had done their best and it was impossible for other guests to notice that complaints were being made. Luckily we have the choice where we want to stop for a second time and where we don't. We will certainly no longer choose the witch's kitchen.

We found the restaurant by chance. It's definitely worth a visit.

I was in the Witch's Kitchen a few years ago and was really looking forward to my visit last night. However, it was a major disappointment. After an aperitif, the starters were served. As soon as we started with the starter, the main course was brought out. The potato gratin was served cold. We directly addressed the pace, as well as the cold plates. This was not discussed in great detail. One of the service people said we should only speak to him, even though he wasn't the only one serving us. At the end, as we were leaving, one of the service people complained about the way we addressed the problem (which was respectful and friendly) instead of apologizing. Of course we didn't have coffee or dessert there anymore. Food very mediocre in taste, carelessly prepared, served cold. Service was very amateurish, unfriendly and stressed - in the end very brazen. It was my last visit there and I strongly recommend it!

Simply phenomenal Super delicious food, very friendly staff and great ambience. Have become regulars at this restaurant. Always happy to come here.

The witch's kitchen was once something in Konstanz. That's over. On our last visit the food was consistently tough, greasy and bland. An example: I don't go to a steakhouse and then eat spare ribs that haven't been pre-cooked before grilling.

Despite the always very busy days with high capacity, the service is always friendly and the delicious food is definitely worth trying.

Great service, very friendly and extremely fine food.

Friendly welcome. The food was very tasty 😋 Can only be recommended.

Always happy, great shop and the guys. Greetings from the Ferris wheel

Such an authentic experience in a beautiful place. They know how to grill here. Best meat ever. Please try the Cafe de Paris sauce to go with: it’s delicious. And the mousse au chocolate is to die for. Service is professional, extremely friendly and quick. I was very, very pleased and happy during/after.

The food was excellent! My friend and I were very happy about the delicious dishes. It was an all-round successful evening with delicious food and a good atmosphere. We will definitely come back! Greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭

Unfortunately no. The quality of the meat was below average, the service was disorganized and it didn't really taste good. My conclusion: Price and performance weren't right, so we'll probably try somewhere else.

Everything was perfect. We can only recommend it!

The best restaurant I've ever been to Highly recommended

When I go to a well-rated steakhouse, my expectations are correspondingly high. The spareribs were okay but far from "the meat comes away easily from cooking". Querying the doneness is the basis. But delivering these is a completely different matter. The pretty pattern on the meat: simply burnt for me. The sauces are nothing special (the spiciness is quite mild). Are the fried potatoes on the soggy side, cooked too long before frying? Unfortunately there are no fries. There wouldn't have been a need for an extra portion of bread if there had been bread from scratch. There were just a few slices of ordinary, long-sliced ​​brown bread; a baguette might be a nice alternative. The ambience is great, if the rest were also right, it would be an insider tip.

Great steakhouse! Very very tasty sauces.

Stupid when you can only sit at the bar

Everything was great about this location, I had dinner there with the family yesterday and it was a dream. Very tasty meat and the dessert was also amazing. We'll definitely come back more often.

Ribeye was wonderful, potatoes were delicately fried with ham, I enjoyed it very much.

+ friendly + following + delicious + prices + Speed + Ambiance

Great food! Great service, especially Florian! Top staff, friendly and very accommodating. We are surprised and satisfied. Definitely coming back!

We had made a reservation there but were left standing and told to wait. After 5 minutes we wanted to leave and the waitress was very unfriendly and didn't understand.

Great food, the steaks were fried perfectly Service is very attentive and friendly. We'll definitely be back

Spontaneously looked for a table for 3 and ended up in this beautiful, rustic restaurant through the recommendation of another restaurant (Turm). What is surprising is the open grill/stove at the entrance to the restaurant. The grill master and all the waiters are on point. Fast, friendly, very hard working and always interested in the guest's well-being. The Hexenspies is a little smaller, but you can enjoy more side dishes with it. The food and drinks were top and recommended. We will be back!

Good service, reserve early. Meat is of good quality. Had a ribeye. The snails are also delicious. A good address for decades.

Excellent food and first class service. The quality of the steaks was excellent and the staff was attentive and friendly. What you should definitely try here are the spare ribs. Overall, a great restaurant that I can recommend to any steak lover. Reservations recommended!

Fantastic Angus fillet! The meat was tender and juicy, just the way I like it. The atmosphere in the restaurant was cozy and the staff was very attentive. Definitely a place I can recommend, especially for meat lovers like me!

Meat quality is bad. Unfortunately, the ribeye was really tough. In my opinion it has decreased significantly in the last 2 years. It used to be a top place for a good steak. Unfortunately no longer...

Delicious food. I definitely recommend stopping by when visiting the city.

Everything fits. Any time again.

Great food at a very reasonable price

Food was very tasty, staff friendly. It was very crowded and the seating was quite tight. But we'd love to come back.

Good restaurant near to train station.

There are steaks in the witch's kitchen, yes. But from a steakhouse I expect good quality meat and proper handling of the product. Roasted aromas e.g. B. My sirloin steak had the appearance of a shoe sole on the outside and was cut along the length of the meat fibers. Absolute no-go

Spontaneous decision without a table reservation on an early Saturday evening wasn't a problem, because the service staff had two seats at the counter for us and it didn't really get full until around 7 p.m. Very cozy and stylish interior, extremely friendly service, excellent steaks and side dishes! And all at fair prices. 👌 Also very central location, easily accessible on foot, bike, car, public transport. However, there is no accessibility (stairs/steps).

The food was solid but nothing special. Staff was very hectic and didn't take their time. Price performance is not given.

Very tasty food. Great service.

Be sure to reserve Despite the busyness, the staff remains calm.

The food was okay, but the meat wasn't ideal for the price. What, in my opinion, is not acceptable at all and what is a disgrace is what they charge for 0.75L of sparkling water, which you don't even pay in a 5-star restaurant!!! Not recommendable...

Great food, excellent service, attentive server, cool Location! We loved it!

We felt like criminals with our dog. We had a reserved table and the waiter was already there to take us there when the boss at the grill called us back and loudly pointed out that for hygiene reasons it was forbidden to take the dog with us. Write this on the website and you can save yourself the trouble!

Wir haben vom hervorragenden Restaurant gehört und wollten uns das Abendessen hier nicht entgehen lassen. Obschon unser Hund immer mit uns unterwegs ist, hatten wir volles Verständnis dafür, dass dieses Restaurant wegen der offenen Küche, den vier Beinern kein Zulass gewährt. Unser Hund hat auf uns im Auto gewartet und wir hatten den Eindruck, dass er dort ungestört seinen Träumen nachgehen konnte. Die Fleisch-, Fisch- sowie Vegetarischen Gerichte sind absolut köstlich. Das Personal ist speditiv und sehr freundlich unterwegs. Das Ambiente ist rustikal, gemütlich und Vermittler einer wohligen Wärme. Ich kann dieses Restaurant nur weiter empfehlen.

Sehr freundliches Personal und ausgezeichnetes Essen in gemütlicher Atmosphäre

Grossartiges Freisch und perfekten Service. Was will man mehr... Reservierung zu empfehlen.

Sehr gepflegtes Steakhaus. Die Angestellten sind sehr freundlich. Die Auswahl der Speisen ist gut und sehr lecker.

Sehr nettes Restaurant. Service und Essen ist super. Keine langen Wartenzeiten.

Absolut Weltklasse Steakrestaurant. Super Service und die Steaks und hausgemachten Steaksaucen sind echt jede Reise nach Konstanz wert.

Sehr nett und zuvorkommend es Personal mit sehr guten Essen. Vor allem die Steaks

Mega gute Suppe (ein Highlight! Sollte man sich nicht entgehen lassen! 💯💯💯) Ansonsten, sind die Fleischgerichte auch sehr zu empfehlen... Ambiente: Uhrig eingerichtet... Show Grill (man kann zusehen, wie das Fleisch gegrillt wird)

Gehe dort seit 7 Jahren immer wieder hin und bin noch nie enttäuscht worden! Der Chef steht selbst am Grill und grillt die leckeren Steak's(besonders zu empfehlen die Teufelsoße, falls ihr auf Pikant steht!). Würde empfehlen vorher zu reservieren ansonsten kann es sehr gut sein, dass ihr kein Tisch bekommt! War gestern (17.11.23) wieder da und haben wir immer abgeliefert! Macht weiter so!!!
