Kandelhof in Freiburg im Breisgau

I ordered the mixed warm tapas platter and was unfortunately more than disappointed. The chicken was almost entirely bone-in, and there was exactly one meatball - absolutely outrageous for the price. When I asked the waiter about it, I only received an indifferent “OK” in response. It seemed as if the staff had no interest in feedback at all. Neither the food nor the service were satisfactory. I really wonder how this restaurant gets such good reviews - they must have eaten at another place. Unfortunately I cannot recommend this restaurant.

Not what it used to be... too bad...

Restaurant with a great flair and super delicious, highly recommended

Great restaurant, great taste, very nice owners and we felt very comfortable. The paella and the calamari were very filling and extremely tasty...we would love to come back!

Delicious food, good value for money, nice ambience. The noise level in this restaurant is very pleasant. Even when it's full, it's not too loud. Also a very friendly and fast service. I ate paella for the second time and was always very satisfied!

Super friendly and attentive service, delicious food, cozy atmosphere - highly recommended!

Absolute recommendation, especially for vegetarians. The menu is manageable, but also well-stocked with vegetarian dishes. The portions are also manageable, but cheap enough that you can eat two. The service is very friendly, the atmosphere is beautiful and the restaurant is easy to reach on foot.

Very tasty food. Friendly service. Cozy atmosphere. Definitely a suitable location for a nice evening.

The three of us ate at Espanol today. Paella, cold tapas plate, tapas chorizo ​​with beans and eggplant in tomato sauce. So I don't know in which restaurant the people who wrote these extremely good reviews ate, certainly not in Restaurante Espanol!!! The paella had nothing to do with Spanish paella, 1 scampi, 1 small chicken leg, 3 calamari rings, a few mussels and a lot of cheap olives. Zero taste and all for €22.90! The cold tapas plate consisted of a third of the same cheap olives, green salad and white beans in tomato sauce. The crowning glory was 2 slices of Serrano(?) ham and a few chunks of sheep(?) cheese, the 3 artichoke halves were no enrichment. The Manchego cheese mentioned on the menu was completely missing. When asked, they said: it's over! I would have liked to have known that beforehand. Price €18.90. The warm tapas are simply far too expensive at €9.90 and don't taste good (lots of tomato sauce). Rarely eaten so badly; It has nothing to do with Spanish food. Overall completely overpriced. Never again!

Very, very tasty food and the staff are very nice and the cleanliness is very good. Thank you very much

The food was very good. Friendly service. We will be back.

Original restaurant with good Spanish cuisine

Simple but good food. Cheap prices. Again and again!

I went last night and the place is very nice and clean. The food is good and they are very kind. It's worth trying for €20 each.

I've actually never had such bad Spanish food. The selection is very small, so there was no pulpo a la gallega. Automatically disqualified. The waitress couldn't even pronounce paella correctly. There was no alioli, but a tartar sauce that was sold as alioli. I was extremely disappointed. Simply not good and the place was crammed to the max. Why would a Persian open a Spanish restaurant? Were they ever there? I'm not opening a Persian restaurant either.

Best paella far and wide. Plus great Spanish house wines

Class Spaniards Delicious paella and tapas Should have been one

Nice restaurant but not really Spanish as we know it. More of an Arabic interpretation of Spanish food.

I think you only come here to drink wine as the wine selection is good. The food is overpriced and of poor quality. It's not about the art of bringing Spanish food to customers, but about making quick payments. Unfortunately you only have the option of paying in cash, so I won't comment on that anymore... Unfortunately not a recommendation, there are much better options in Freiburg.

Freundliches Personal, gutes Essen

Super tasty paella and very nice service! The ambience could be improved a bit, we found it quite cold in the restaurant.

Came across this restaurant by chance. We really liked the atmosphere, the service was very nice and accommodating. We felt very comfortable. The food wasn't bad, the paella was tasty, the starter was also good. You shouldn't have high expectations of the food. This restaurant is highly recommended for a cozy evening.

Tapas for main course prices is not possible... The warm tapas were really tasty, but the exorbitant prices for the small dishes plus the 70's flair of the restaurant were very sub-optimal

Had dinner there yesterday. Typical tapas from Spain also with a selection of vegetarian options. All very tasty. The ambience is good and the service at the table is good. Then why two stars? Cash only!!! In principle I have no problem with it if I know it beforehand. But then somehow scraping together a three-digit amount at the table is stupid and, by the way, no longer appropriate. That's nice but...

This is not spanish food. Paella ist not paella but rather some arabic fried rice. Tapas is not tapas. They are just something like aubergine, squid or chorizo in warm ketchup. The taste was ok but this is not spanish food.

Freundliche Bedienung, leckere Tapas, tolle Umgebung

Haben es heute das erste Mal ausprobiert! Sehr nette Leute und das Essen war wirklich lecker. Wir gehen wieder hin!

Sehr nette Bedienung, leckeres Essen

Paella ohne Fleisch bestellt - scheinbar wurde das Hähnchen dabei einfach aus der Paella gefischt und kleine Fleischstückchen drin gelassen. No-go. Bitte einfach ehrlich sein, dass es keine fleischlose Paella bei euch gibt.

Ich mag das Kandelhof-Kino, weil es so eine freundliche Atmosphäre hat. Wir können gute Filme in angenehmem Ambiente sehen. Und das Personal ist immer sehr freundlich.

Sehr schönes Ambiente. Freundliches Personal. Gutes Essen. Schneller Service. Ganz meins. Empfehlenswert.

Sehr leckeres Essen, gemütliche und schöne Atmosphäre, freundliches Personal. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Kandelhof is a small cinema (I think they show one moovie at a time) with very friendly staff. They show rather alternative moovies. Since it's a small cinema don't expect a big variety of drinks and snacks. 4 stars - because it was too cold for me. I have to say that I am easily cold, but I didn't see anybody take of their sweater.

Tapasauswahl nicht so wahnsinnig groß, aber alles schmeckt!

Alles top! Super freundlich! Preis-Leistung sehr gut! Jederzeit wieder👍
