ÏU Saarbrücken in Saarbrücken

The restaurant is generally very good, but I find the prices a bit too high. The staff is friendly and you don't have to wait long for service. The atmosphere could be a bit cozier for my taste. But that's just my opinion.

It was very tasty, the service was very friendly and attentive.

We spontaneously stopped in for a drink. Two cocktails and a beer. Friendly welcome and nice staff. The ambiance is very pleasant despite the ongoing renovations. The menu looked great, and the food looked delicious. Unfortunately, we had already eaten, otherwise we would have ordered something. The drinks were good, and the prices were very fair. We'd gladly come again... Today we were happy to return. Unfortunately, this experience was absolutely disappointing. Yesterday, there was a very attentive owner or manager who personally greeted every guest. He was sadly absent today. After standing around in the restaurant for five minutes, I approached a member of staff, but received no response. We then left, having decided to leave. Yesterday's rating would have been 5 stars, today's 0, making a total of 2. A shame.

An outstanding restaurant that impresses in every way! The service is superb – attentive, friendly, and always cheerful. The ambiance is simply wonderful and makes you feel instantly at ease. A particular highlight is Ali – a true Frankfurt original whose warmth and charm make the visit unforgettable. Greetings from Wetzlar and Frankfurt rolls! Highly recommended! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The atmosphere was lovely and I really enjoyed the music. Perfect for a girls' night out. Very nice owner.

A great evening at IU. We'll definitely be back. :-)

Excellent service, fresh and delicious food – highly recommended in Saarbrücken 😊👏🏻

Beautiful ambiance with very friendly staff! The food was delicious, high-quality, and very modern. The menu is very diverse; we will definitely be back!

Beautiful place. Quality Food and best Service in Saarland with Daniela 🫶

Thank you very much. Highly recommended.

Excellent quality. Top-notch café. Friendly service.

Delicious food and competent, friendly service. Be sure to try the olive lemonade – it's also a treat with gin! 😉

We love it! Great, attentive service and delicious food.

We were at IU this past Saturday and were shocked at what has become of this once fantastic place at Sankt Johanner Markt. It was an evening to forget. We waited forever for drinks, and the waiters seemed completely disorganized and overwhelmed. Then we found out that the place is under new management and were shocked at how negatively it affected things. We used to love spending Saturdays at IU, but now there's nothing there to justify making a reservation or even staying. Well, not entirely true... the food is still delicious despite the wait. The women's restrooms were also filthy. We won't be coming back; the competition at the market is just too fierce.

Great staff, great sense of humor, would gladly come again!!

Instead of a fun, relaxing evening with friends, we were constantly yelled at by the staff and they tried to get us out of the place because there was "no room." There were very few highlights. Unfortunately, the staff got progressively worse over time, which is why I have to write this review. I'm a regular customer there and today I was treated like absolute garbage.

Great service, good food. Would gladly come again.

Young, dedicated staff. Easygoing boss. The atmosphere is pleasant and inviting. A ramp is available upon request, allowing wheelchair users to access the restaurant. Excellent!

I'm a frequent visitor to ÏU. As a wheelchair user, I find all the staff friendly and helpful. Even the owner is always there when you need assistance, always friendly and kind. As a wheelchair user, it's not often you find such a welcoming atmosphere. Keep up the great work!

Super cool location, highly recommended.

We were here today with seven people for food and drinks. We received a very warm welcome. We recommend the back section of the restaurant. The food was excellent, and the service was very friendly. Our birthday celebrant even received a complimentary drink. The atmosphere and music were also very good. We had a fantastic time and highly recommend it.

I was there with friends today; the service and organization are usually good. Today, after asking, we were finally allowed to sit at a table, but a waiter moved us twice because the tables were supposedly reserved, even though others were allowed to sit there. After we paid, he didn't even look at us, didn't say goodbye or anything, and just left. We never expected that. Rude and disrespectful. At least wishing you a nice evening or asking if everything is okay is part of good service. This has happened to this waiter several times before. He has black hair and wears glasses. What a shame! He didn't deserve a tip. You should always make yourself welcome!

We were there today; the organization was very poor, the waiting times were long, and the staff was very unfriendly.

Great music, funk and soul, just the way you want it, old school.

Top staff, good food, top management

We were so impressed that we went back the next evening, even though we had originally planned differently. It was incredibly delicious, we barely had to wait for our food, and the service was very friendly. The idea of ​​combining South American and Asian cuisine is truly original. Unfortunately, we were only there on vacation, so we won't be back anytime soon. We especially recommend the beef slices (please keep them on the menu). The homemade lemonades are also worth trying. The homemade mojito shot is also fun. Thank you for two wonderful evenings.

Three of us were here today, and we all ordered sushi. It was delicious, and the service was incredibly friendly. Everything was great; we'll definitely be back.

I went to dinner with friends today for business. First of all, I think the option to reserve online is great. We got a great table, but were initially undecided about what to choose from. Ali, the manager, was incredibly supportive and explained with great humor what this cuisine has to offer. The food is amazing! This restaurant is worth a visit. I don't want to forget the service here. Dani is very attentive and always comes to the table at the right time. She never lets a guest out of her sight. No one has to wait for drinks. Here, gastronomy is lived and breathed. Kudos also to the people in the kitchen. Thank you for this wonderful evening 😀

A very nice restaurant located on St. Johanner Markt in the heart of Saarbrücken. A pleasant and relaxed atmosphere, good food and drinks at a reasonable price. Very attentive and friendly service (Daniela). All in all, a place you'll always enjoy visiting.

Yesterday, we were at the IU with our family. The restaurant was beautiful. The hosts were very attentive and child-friendly. We highly recommend the restaurant. The food and drinks were excellent, and the value for money was right. We also want to commend the waitress. Keep up the good work, and see you soon.

Ali is a great host, and all the waiters were friendly and on the ball. We'd love to come back! Thanks for the lovely day.

We received extremely friendly and attentive service. We would like to thank our waitress Lars for the wonderful evening and look forward to our next visit. We would love to come back and hope Lars will serve us again. The food was delicious, and the cocktails and drinks are highly recommended. TOP!

Perfect place to have a drink, good location, large terrace, nice interior decor, and friendly staff.

Super friendly staff and a lovely atmosphere for ending the day with a few drinks and snacks. The music was great, and we felt at home.

Absolute disappointment! We were first seated at the wrong table, and when we politely pointed out the mistake, they seriously tried to escort us out. Such disrespectful treatment of guests is inexcusable. We will definitely never come back and advise everyone to think twice about going here.

The iü Saarbrücken impresses in every respect. The food is excellent and of consistently high quality. The staff are professional, attentive, and always friendly, which makes the visit particularly pleasant. The service is fast, reliable, and very well organized. The atmosphere is also perfect: a stylish venue, pleasant music, and a beautiful terrace, which is a real highlight, especially in summer. The central location also makes the iü easily accessible. An all-round successful concept – highly recommended!

We went to IU for cocktails today, Saturday. The drinks were delicious and the service was extremely attentive. Everything was top-notch! The DJ at IU deserves special praise. Our group was unanimous! Definitely the best DJ we've ever heard in Saarbrücken. We'd love to come back.

I reserved a table and in the end didn't even get it

Superb food. Great atmosphere. We had the Red Dragon Curry and a cheeseburger. Everything was fresh and crispy. The service was also excellent. I definitely recommend it.

Unfortunately, I can't comment on the restaurant's birthday reservation for nine people on August 4, 2025. The opening hours had changed, but the reservation wasn't canceled. So, nine of us were left standing in front of a locked door. A phone call in the afternoon went unanswered. The complaint was supposed to be forwarded to the manager, who clearly wasn't interested. Of course, the contact details were available from the reservation. The day before, I even received an email in which I had to actively confirm the reservation again. Later on the phone, all they said was that they had changed the opening hours and she didn't know what else to say. It would be forwarded. That was four days ago. Nothing so far.

Very nice staff especially Basti the best man so nice friendly

We went to IU with our friends on Saturday before the disco. The food (we had a few snacks): was very good and fresh. The cocktails were also very good, albeit a bit more expensive, but the alcohol was of high quality. We often come on Saturdays because of the good music from the DJ. It's unique in Saarbrücken and definitely one of the best DJs in town. Everything from house, pop, hip hop, and Latino is played, and we always enjoy it. All in all, the menu is top-notch, especially on Saturdays at IU. I always recommend the Caesar salad and the burgers. We'll be back.

We wanted a matcha drink. It was out of stock. We were told they would make something similar that would taste the same. We ended up getting a chai latte. Something completely different. It was acknowledged, but we still had to pay.

The food, wine, and service were more than excellent—I would definitely recommend it. Despite the Old Town Festival, the friendly and attentive waiter was very friendly.

Simply fantastic. I've been there several times with my girlfriend and have come home happy every single time. Simply delicious and of very, very good quality.

Basti you are the best I love you

The food is quite delicious, and there's a balanced selection of meat, vegetarian, and vegan options. The service is super friendly, attentive, and fast. The service and the well-coordinated decor make you feel at home, making it a great evening alone, as a couple, or with friends. We'd love to come back.😊👍🏻

This was super tasty and the waiter spoke English! Definetely worth a visit.

The food honestly wasn't outstanding, but it was still okay... However, the waiter (a man in his mid-twenties with dark hair) took the liberty of leaving a tip without telling me and didn't bring me the receipt so I could check it, as I'd requested. Very disappointing. I hope his boss doesn't come by...

Many thanks to the team for a wonderful evening. The food was simply delicious, and the service... It's great to be back as a guest again! We're always happy to come back! See you soon, and we're already looking forward to being there again!

The food was too salty and cold. The portions aren't even worth mentioning. Outrageous for the price. Best regards

Your waitress Vivianne is a very pretty nice woman and very polite would come again any time

Unfortunately, it was very disappointing. The service was very unfriendly and not customer-oriented. We would have liked to stay the whole evening, as the location is actually very nice. Unfortunately, the service meant we couldn't.

Three of us visited your restaurant/bar today and arrived at 10:10 p.m. to enjoy a few drinks. After finding a seat, we waited for about 13 minutes without being served, even though the waiter with glasses had seen us. Since no one came, I finally went inside to order something myself – unfortunately, to no avail. As I was leaving, the waiter approached me. I mentioned that we would like a drink. However, his response was not very friendly (the waiter with glasses) – he told us in a brusque tone that the restaurant closes at 11:00 p.m., even though your website states 11:30 p.m. After consulting with his colleague, we were finally allowed to order something. The drinks were brought to our table, but the waiter (who wears glasses) immediately pointed out that we needed to "drink quickly." We found this unpleasant. We hurriedly finished our drinks, paid, and left the restaurant. We noticed that another table—with two women—was allowed to continue sitting quietly and enjoying their drinks. We found the way the waiter treated us disrespectful and inappropriate. It would be nice if future guests were greeted with more courtesy and equal treatment.

Honestly, the food here is simply amazing! Absolutely delicious, no matter what you order. You can tell right away that they put their heart into it. The people here are incredibly friendly, fast, and everything is super clean. You just feel at home right away. This definitely won't be my last time; I'll definitely be back!

Excellent service and ambiance! Highly recommended!

We were there on Saturday and were served by our waiter (Khaled). He was super friendly and very attentive. Thank you!

The best place in all of Saarbrücken. I'm really very satisfied! My food was not only delicious but also looked good. The service was super fast and even friendly at times!

The ïu in Saarbrücken is always worth a visit. The food, drinks, and atmosphere at St. Johanner Markt leave nothing to be desired. The staff are very friendly, especially Khaled, who responds to every guest's request in a friendly and accommodating manner. I'd be happy to come back.

Very professional and very friendly, I can recommend

I'd love to come back. Thank you, Khaled😃♥️

I always enjoy coming here. It's a mystery to me why there are so many negative comments – my experience has been consistently positive. The support is reliable, clear, and always helpful. Thank you for the great work – it's always a pleasure!

A role model for gastronomy can only be found here!!❤️

Best service in Saarbrücken It's fun to go there, very friendly and reliable. Khaled is the best waiter.

Thank you so much. You can only enjoy it here. We'll be happy to come back again!❤️

Super cool, fun, you're served well, and the feeling of well-being is 100,000% there. We were served by Khaled. Thank you ❤️

The waiter/owner pushed an elderly, intoxicated man to the ground. Absolutely not okay!

Very nice and pretty female waitress and drink was brought quickly

The portions of the drinks are very small. They bring you a glass half full. I won't come anymore.

Very nice, good tasty and staff very friendly

Superb place! Thank you Jojo for the service

Delicious truffle fries and finally a non-alcoholic Hugo. Service good.

Gets another drink - instead of beer with tequila, a wine-based mixed drink in blue - than it says on the map. When you ask the service about it... you get an unfriendly instruction that there is also beer in there.

The food was okay — not great, but not awful. What I didn’t like was that they tried to add 6 extra euros to the bill. Even after I pointed it out, they still charged us 2 euros more than what we actually consumed. Overall, it wasn’t a good experience, and I wouldn’t recommend this place.

I ordered a double cappuccino, they brought me a large mug with enough coffee for two sips and it was cold. When calculating, they cheated, rounding the amount in their direction, and even forgot to give change.

Great Atmosphere for a Friday Night We went to this restaurant on a Friday night for some drinks and light bites, and it was a lovely experience. The ambiance is fantastic—inside, the dim lighting and candles on the tables create a warm and cozy atmosphere. The beautiful murals and decorations add to the good vibes, making it a very inviting place. The service was excellent. The staff was very friendly, and some of them spoke Spanish, which was a plus. The location is also great—very central, with a terrace overlooking a lively square, surrounded by other restaurants. It’s a perfect spot to enjoy the evening. As for the prices, they are quite reasonable for the setting and experience. Overall, it’s a charming place with a great atmosphere, good service, and a nice location. Definitely worth a visit!

Very tasty food and nice to sit outside in the nice weather..we really enjoyed it in the spring-like weather..the salad dressing is mega ❣️

It's always fun to come here! The team is well coordinated, the service is top and the support is simply great. You immediately feel at home, as warmly as you are welcomed. The atmosphere is cozy and invites you to linger. The drinks and food are really tasty – a great experience all around!

Very good meal, very good cocktail. The staff could be more friendly, helpful and above all, more cheerful.

Have eaten there twice so far and both times the food was very good.

Perfect for ending the day in a pleasant atmosphere. Even when it gets colder, radiant heaters provide the necessary warmth. Always my pleasure!!

Sushi without wasabi and ginger – really sad.

Nice to sit outside. However, the burger was nothing special and, at over 20 euros including the obligatory fries, it was grossly overpriced for the service offered. The vegetarian options are good.

You can do it, but you shouldn't expect too much. The food is okay and the ambience is nice to look at, but the seating is very uncomfortable and if you sit somewhere wrong you get a cold draft. Unfortunately I can only say negative things about the service, very slow and inattentive. Even when you just wanted to pay, no one came and when you went to the front and spoke to someone, you had to wait almost 10 minutes until the right waitress came.

Unfortunately, none of our 8 people enjoyed our food, more appearance than reality. More suitable for a cocktail evening but even some of them unfortunately didn't taste good

We were passing through Saarbrücken, we stopped for a drink, we met Farès, a great waiter, customer contact was perfect, the fries were superb, the wine too, and the service was magical 💜

The food was tasty but nothing for those very hungry. Small portions. I tried 2 white wines and both were mixed with water/sparkling water (I didn't order a spritzer!) and you sit comfortably.

Sehr gutes Essen , freundliche Bedienung. Top Restaurant

Essen gut aber bisschen knapp von der Menge her... Service Lahm...aber freundlich... Also genug Zeit einplanen...

Jojo is the best waiter in the whole store!!! Thanks to him, we'll be back 🤗🤗

Yoyo is the best waiter in Saarbrücken!! We'd love to come back :)

We retreat from the hustle and bustle of the Christmas market into this oasis of peace and design. Admittedly, the store isn't always that quiet, but on this visit it was and we enjoyed it. The service was nice and friendly, attentive throughout the entire stay. The order comes extremely quickly, but still tastes excellent. Card payment hassle-free. An extremely pleasant stay!

Terrible service. Untrained, unpleasant staff, the minimum is not guaranteed (friendliness, cleanliness, compliance of orders)..no overwork though..the pub was almost empty (and we understand why). Ouch ouch ouch..catastrophe!!!

When they serve you a non-alcoholic cocktail that clearly says alcohol on the menu and then you complain to the waiter who cockily answers that if it has passion fruit it doesn't have alcohol, it's shameful, I feel cheated.

Were beaten by the staff. Otherwise actually very nice. Still wouldn't come back.

Ambience great. Unfortunately there is a strong draft and therefore cold. Unfortunately, toilets are not that clean. Not so competent waiters. Service is therefore rather poor. Wrong food delivered and already cold. Long waiting time. Despite everything, very accommodating and treated fairly.

The waitress had nice pants and the best moves. #yoyo

Sehr gutes Essen, sehr guter Service. Empfehlenswert

Drinking a Riesling Van Volxem was very good...

Normally 1 star, but waitress looked good, 2nd star just because of that Food was almost cooked, drinks were diluted with water and some things were not cooked.
