Kleine Burg in Oldenburg (Oldb)

Excellent cuisine, attentive and young service in a very welcoming environment.

A rather good address in Oldenburg for regionally oriented food and attentive service.

At 10:00 p.m. the light was dimmed, the outer door opened. With us the feeling came up that we should go now!

I was looking for a nice restaurant with exceptionally good food in Oldenburg and came across the "Little Castle"... The occasion was a birthday, and I wanted something a little better than usual... My expectations were high, but they were even exceeded in terms of food and taste... The stylish decor and perfect service round out the overall package. We give it 12 out of 10 points; the "Little Castle" impressed across the board...! I'd love to come back here. Too bad I don't live nearby, otherwise I'd be a regular here...!

Great service. Particularly friendly and attentive

Great service, delicious food. Everything was perfect 👍 I'd gladly come again

Lovely little restaurant, super-friendly service, excellent food that's worth every euro.

An unforgettable evening at the "Kleine Burg" in Oldenburg – perfection on every level Our recent experience at the Kleine Burg restaurant in Oldenburg was simply extraordinary – a culinary delight paired with warmth, professionalism, and an ambiance that is second to none. This evening was a gift to my in-laws – and it became an experience they will talk about for a long time. From the moment we were greeted by the warm, smiling service team, it became clear: hospitality is not just lived here, but celebrated. The atmosphere was warm, stylish, and at the same time relaxed – a place where you arrive and immediately unwind. For my in-laws, they were served fresh asparagus with burrata as an appetizer – a harmonious interplay of textures and flavors. The freshness of the asparagus, the delicate melting of the burrata, and a hint of citrus – a prelude that left us wanting more. The following main course – schnitzel with once again perfectly cooked asparagus – impressed not only with its quality, but also with the subtle interplay of tradition and refinement. The breading was golden yellow and crispy, yet so finely balanced that the tender meat inside wasn't overpowered. With every bite, you could sense that a master of his craft was in the kitchen. I would particularly like to highlight the wine pairing. The selection was not only harmonious, but also excellently matched to the individual courses. Each drop elegantly enhanced the respective dish and perfectly rounded off the experience. You could tell that someone had put a lot of thought into it – and this attention to detail continued throughout the entire evening. To my in-laws' great regret, they had to reluctantly cancel dessert – not because it wasn't tempting, but because the portions were so generous and filling that there was simply no room left. And that, too, speaks to the generosity and quality of this establishment. In conclusion, all I can say is that the Kleine Burg is much more than a restaurant. It's a place where cuisine, service, and atmosphere converge at the highest level – supported by a team that puts its heart and soul into its work. It was a perfect evening for my in-laws. Many thanks to the entire team at the Michelin-starred and insider-tip restaurant Kleine Burg in Oldenburg.

Great food with special side dishes and friendly service. Friendly and fast! The place is busy! Located in a quieter alley in the city. We'd be happy to go back! The quality has been maintained for many years. Everything was top-notch again on this visit! The photos show that we come here often and are always impressed 🙋‍♂️😋💯 11/16/2024 Angus beef - everything was great again! 12/10/2024 Duck leg - top - friendly service! 05/17/2024 Two kinds of beef - top! Be sure to reserve early.

The food was tasty, but the Wiener Schnitzel was a bit too generous. The atmosphere in the back is too sober, and the bench in the right corner isn't comfortable.

It was delicious, nice atmosphere, very good service.

Unassuming from the outside, it's outstanding on the inside! The service is top-notch, with every detail thought of. The most important thing, of course, is the food, which was top-notch. Last but not least, I also have to praise the little things: the restrooms had all sorts of hygiene products, from deodorant to cream!

High-quality cuisine, very attentive service. Very solution-oriented, even for food intolerances.

Very satisfied all around! From the reception to the drinks, the food, and the service – my guests and I felt very comfortable.

The Wiener Schnitzel was, as always, absolutely fantastic. Very friendly and attentive service! Drinks were unfortunately a bit overpriced.

I ate there with a group of 29 people on Saturday. To ensure everything ran smoothly, we were asked to choose our dishes a few days in advance. This made everything very relaxed for the waiter and for us as well. The group received their food promptly, without having to wait long. The food was beautifully presented, and everyone was absolutely thrilled. The restaurant was recommended to me by a friend, and I have to say, it really comes highly recommended. A big compliment to the kitchen and the attentive service.

We're very hard to please when it comes to food. But at the Kleine Burg, the food was fantastic—good quality and beautifully presented. Highly recommended. The staff was very attentive and friendly. We'll definitely be back.

A cute little, top-notch restaurant. Incredibly delicious food and lovely staff. My husband took me there for my birthday and I highly recommend it. It's WORTH IT.

Creative and flavorful (lunch) dishes of a truly high standard with impeccable service. The lunch menu is now regularly booked!

I can't rate the food because, after discussing our seating with the waitress, we were ignored for 10 minutes... Meanwhile, new customers who arrived after us had already been served, complete with chilled champagne on their tables... Never again 🙃 EDIT: I think it's awesome how they try to talk their way out of it - we obviously had a friendly conversation with the waitress beforehand. We don't just sit anywhere... it just makes the place even more unpleasant. You guys are doing great!

Very good food; all of our dishes—asparagus soup, Wiener schnitzel, and burgers—were delicious. The service was very friendly and attentive. A definite recommendation for a lovely evening.

We celebrated our wedding with a great dinner in the Little Castle. The Kleine Burg has been our favorite restaurant in Oldenburg for several years and the perfect wedding evening confirmed this once again. The atmosphere in the small castle is beautiful and very cozy. For our special event with 19 people, we had our own room, which was beautifully decorated. The service in the Kleine Burg has been top on all of our previous visits! The waiters are incredibly attentive and friendly. A big compliment goes to the kitchen for the fantastic food! Special requests were fully addressed. I could eat 10 portions of the “Avocado Goat” appetizer every day. Depending on the season, there are always new dishes, so it's worth visiting regularly. Dear Little Castle: Keep it up! We look forward to continuing to celebrate our special occasions with you.

We always feel very comfortable in the small castle and love the fresh, refined and very high quality cuisine! For our little son there were not only painting supplies already set out, but also a few kids' menus. We can really recommend this restaurant, whether for business, wedding or family dinner - always a good choice in Oldenburg!

As always, it was a pleasure! Composition, taste and service excellent. Unfortunately the drink prices are very high.

We had a wonderful evening in the small castle, the food was excellent and the service was very good.

It was our first time in the Little Castle and it won't be the last time! The food was really extremely good. The staff was super friendly and attentive. Absolutely worth the money. Until next time ✌🏻

Always my pleasure. The service staff is really attentive and helpful, the kitchen is great. The short waiting times for the individual courses are also great.

Nice little restaurant, attentive service and outstanding cuisine.

Once again we were completely satisfied with the service and the food.

The food in the Kleine Burg is very good, not cheap but worth the price Unfortunately, the service was in a bit of a hurry to get off work and the enjoyment of the food and drinks was somewhat spoiled.

We had a wonderful evening with the family in the “Little Castle”. Very friendly and attentive service. Extremely good cuisine. Anytime again 👍. Thank you for the lovely evening.

We were there for lunch with a small child. In total, four conditions took care of us, even though there wasn't much going on at 12 p.m. Very friendly service and delicious food. We'll be back.

...the four of us really enjoyed it, one star less for my meal because the risotto was too spicy for me.

Delicious food, good service. We will come back 😊👍🏻.

Service was there too early (no time to “arrive”) and far too often. Almost seemed intrusive.

Wir waren zu zweit zur Mittagszeit hier. Es war sehr voll, dabei aber sehr gemütlich. Leckere Speisen und Getränke, netter Service und schönes Ambiente. Gern wieder :)

We were there for the second time. Everyone was very happy with their food. The service person Anna was super nice, polite and attentive. The food was very tasty, creative and special. The prices are absolutely reasonable for the quality and taste!

Excellent food, great service. Always my pleasure

I think the 5 stars ⭐️ say it all. It was a feel-good experience for us all around and we are looking forward to the next time. 😊

Very imaginatively put together lunch table, pretty to look at and very, very tasty!

Have been to this restaurant several times. We really enjoyed the food again. The service is very friendly, fast and competent. Will definitely come back. Price-performance ratio is right (except for the drinks, which we find a bit too expensive).

Great ambience, excellent food and a very good service. We'd love to come back

We had a table near the front door. Because of all the ups and downs The door hardly feels comfortable. Too bad. Next time please try another table. Best regards Gerhard Garrels

Everything was perfect...We will recommend it and will definitely come.

A really great restaurant with a nice ambience and a very great selection of delicious food and drinks.

Super delicious food, nice staff. Great evening. And also a great atmosphere, only the wine boxes could have been put away. ☺️

We had a three-course meal with a few extra requests and it was wonderful. The food was excellent, the wine pairing was delicate, the waiter was attentive, informative and humorous. Clear recommendation.

Beautiful restaurant in the old walls in downtown Oldenburg. We found the portions huge, so I took a doggy bag with me for the first time.

Very courteous service and great food, highly recommended! Two small points of criticism: A greeting from the kitchen beforehand or with an aperitif would be nice and please no pre-packaged speculoos biscuits with coffee/espresso. Why not continue to be as innovative as before? Please take this as a suggestion...

First of all… the food was fantastic! We chose the lunch menu. It was really delicious 😋 But…the soup came before the drinks. The main course had already been served and we hadn't finished eating the soup yet. The waiter took the main course back. We then heard the boss from the kitchen say that he should still serve. Sometimes less is more. Perhaps in such a case the tables should not be occupied twice.

Unfortunately our voucher for €100 was not redeemed because it supposedly had expired. This can't be allowed!! After the very tasty meal, we left the restaurant with a negative conclusion and will no longer recommend it.

Best food in the area!! Top level service!! Top gastronomy at reasonable prices!!! I would like to open an identical restaurant in Bremen...

Very good restaurant. Everything just fits here. Great cuisine, very nice staff and a very nice atmosphere. Always happy again.

I've often strolled through Oldenburg's Burgstraße, but never visited the restaurant. But then we were so excited that we went there twice a week. A very appetizing burger with crispy fries with various sauces in the lunch menu. The second time, crispy sea bream fillet with very tasty side dishes. Nice ambience with an atrium. Very friendly, attentive staff. Spontaneously chosen as my favorite restaurant for my next visit to Oldenburg. Reservations recommended for the evening

Everything was excellent, but one thing was really annoying: when paying by card, you're given a default tip amount and have to choose. It makes you feel under pressure. I still want to decide for myself, not have it imposed on me.

We always look forward to visiting this excellent restaurant! Nice atmosphere, very competent and friendly staff and (that's the most important thing) - fantastic food. We keep coming back!

Great service, matching a pleasant atmosphere and very tasty food. Very happy again.

Nach einem perfekten (Solo-)Erlebnis im Januar 2023 habe ich die Kleine Burg zur Feier meines 50. Geburtstags ausgesucht, um meine Gäste zu einem kulinarischen Erlebnisabend einzuladen. Und der ist wirklich gelungen. Schöne Geburtstagsdeko und aufmerksamer Service - mein Weinglas (hervorragender Petit Chablis - ich wohne in Frankreich...) war nie leer! Top! Das "Signature-Dessert" der kleinen Burg, der "Waldspaziergang", hat auch meine Gäste begeistert. Ich bedanke mich nochmals ausdrücklich für einen wunderschönen Abend! Ich kann die Reservierung auf der eigenen Webseite übrigens nur empfehlen.

If you are in Oldenburg, you have to eat there. Great ambience, super friendly service, great food, we just had a very nice evening there 🤩.

There were four of us here in front of the Essen Theater. It was wonderful. Modern starters and the main courses, whether fish or meat, are excellent. It was a lovely evening and we will definitely be back.

Very tasty, high-quality food and super friendly service. We were there for lunch and chose the lunch menu, and we were both very satisfied.

I like being a guest there. Kleine Burg is now very established and known for its good cuisine and service. I often have lunch there, invite my guests, meet my friends. I've never been disappointed. For me Kleine Burg is the best restaurant in the pedestrian zone. Highly recommended.

I would also give six stars for the service - always attentive - but still discreet and unobtrusive - TOP!

A small selection of outstanding courses — both classic and modern, always creative. The best restaurant I’ve tried in Oldenburg so far. Very friendly with children.

We were guests yesterday at lunchtime. Always happy to come to Oldenburg from 150 km away. We sat right at the counter, where there was a lot of noise being made while the drinks were being prepared. I come from the catering industry. This is also quieter when you are stressed! There was a spill when pouring the drink. The waitress didn't even say "sorry". I would have liked to order dessert, but we were neither asked during the meal whether we were satisfied nor after the main course for any further requests. The highlight was the payment process. The really friendly trainee put the card reader in front of me and disappeared. I had to enter everything myself and carry out the payment process. Nobody came to say goodbye and to see if the payment went through. There were three adults and one trainee in service. Things have to work better next time! Because it is the perfect service that has always impressed us so much.

The food was good, but New Zealand lamb is not a must in Oldenburg. A little less large Wiener Schnitzel, but some vegetables would be good. What was pleasing was that the large salad could be shared and was served on two plates.

As always, it was a very, very pleasant combination of great food and excellent, attentive and simply friendly service. It was a joy again!

Very good, delicious food and very, very nice service 😊

Very good, innovative cuisine, lovingly set table. Thank you

I had lunch at this restaurant with two friends and my experience was extremely positive. The map is clear. Great importance is placed on fresh and good ingredients. The food came very quickly even though the restaurant was busy. Aaaand the food was just super delicious :). I would be happy to come back here any time I end up in Oldenburg.

Perfect service. Very attentive. Everything we ordered was tasteful. Soup of the day very good. Very pleasant overall.

We reserved a table at 8 p.m. and ordered a 3 and 4 menu. The food came very quickly, plates had to be cleared away even though we weren't finished. When dessert was supposed to come, I asked if it could wait another 10 minutes. Answer: the kitchen closes at nine o'clock!!!! After the dessert my wife felt sick, she can't tolerate finished products or semi-finished products, when asked, speechless!!!!!

Absolute heart recommendation! 🤍

Food, service, ambience, everything you want!

They decorated it beautifully for Valentine's Day and the recommendations from the service staff were good. The food was very tasty.

We were here for my parents' silver wedding anniversary, and were very courteously served with excellent (also vegetarian) food!

For the third time in the small castle, always excellent service and excellent food.

It was great that we were able to sit with our large group in the great adjoining room. The food was very tasty and we were served very, very nicely 🤗

Anyone who appreciates perfect service, a small, fine menu and beautifully prepared plates is in good hands here. We have been to the Kleine Burg several times and will certainly continue to be guests of this stylish, cozy restaurant. Conclusion: Our 5 stars are absolutely deserved!

We are already looking forward to the next time...

A beautifully decorated room with its own children's area for a big birthday (around 20 people). First-class, attentive service and very, very tasty food. Grade one!

Thank you for the excellent food and friendly service, especially from the young gentleman who appears to be receiving an excellent education. There is only one small complaint about the atmosphere, namely the traffic of customers without reservations, which is turned away quite harshly.

Unfortunately it was very loud, making it difficult to have a conversation. That made it not so comfortable. Very attentive staff!

Unfortunately, the ambience was marred by a loud, large group of guests. Food and service were at the highest level! Very friendly and attentive staff. Keeping the cleaning robot with its docking station in the dining room within the guests' sight seemed a bit strange... 😉 Overall: Great restaurant, which I can happily recommend!

Valentine's Day. Everything was very sweet, incredibly good food and the service was great as always!

The food is very good. Portions are too big. The bread basket is too expensive.

This was a delicious unique taste, in a romantic setting. The service was very good and friendly.

Great service. Nice atmosphere and really great and tasty food. The homemade drinks are also highly recommended. Absolutely justified price. We'll be back.

Very friendly and approachable!

The ambience was great. The service was very courteous and helpful. The food was excellent, the main course was very filling. If I had known that, I would have skipped the starter (because of the quantity). However, I would have missed the taste experience then.

I was there with my girlfriend for my birthday and I have to honestly say that I was disappointed. We had the Angus beef and the Wiener Schnitzel Deluxe. The beef tasted good, but it was also full of fat. I couldn't see where the deluxe was hidden with the schnitzel. It was an ordinary, very dry schnitzel that I could have gotten in any snack bar for half the price. Unfortunately, the price-performance ratio didn't fit at all. We would also have liked the service to ask again about drink requests during the meal. In response to our feedback, we were told: they could have called me! I simply expect more from a high-priced restaurant!

Very tasteful and attractively prepared food.

Great restaurant. A culinary highlight, service top 👍🏼

We had lunch there today and I'm still completely impressed by how good the quality of the food was and how good EVERYTHING tasted. The service was very pleasant, attentive, extremely friendly and funny. It was simply wonderful with you, and I don't know if I've ever eaten better in all my years of visiting restaurants. Thank you for the great time and the really awesome shit 🥰😍

No point deducted. Simply perfect.

Very good food, very good service

We always like coming to the little castle, especially when there are dishes with oriental spices.

Great service, great food. Suggestion for improvement: cards without prices

Disappointing. The burger was extremely salty, almost over-salted, the patti was crumbly, falling apart, a lot of breadcrumbs in it? The Wiener Schnitzel Deluxe was very crispy, but the breading was so thick and greasy that you couldn't taste anything of the really tender but extremely flat meat. The fries were okay, but also very greasy, and the dips served with the food were extremely tasteless. The toilet (in the second store) smelled of urine even though it looked clean. The table wobbled and was repaired in a makeshift manner, I didn't mention my chair, which was wobbling. Due to the high prices, no pity. Not again, unfortunately.

Despite having good food, the wait staff went out of their way to constantly remind us of the length of our reservation and that we would have to give up our table after 1 hour and 15 minutes. We found this to be extremely tacky and rude from a restaurant serving rather expensive food. It took 30-45 minutes to receive our food and 10 minutes for the waiter to figure out how to let us pay by card. Perhaps they should be reminding the kitchen staff of the short reservations, rather than the customers.
