Kleine Burg in Oldenburg (Oldb)

Very tasteful and attractively prepared food.

Great restaurant. A culinary highlight, service top 👍🏼

No point deducted. Simply perfect.

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 🥰😍

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.

Small but nice. Super cozy restaurant with a very pleasant atmosphere. The food is very tasty and the price-performance ratio is absolutely positive. Staff very friendly and competent and helpful. I can only recommend it.

I was looking forward to a cozy Saturday evening. As a precaution, I presented my voucher at the beginning. Despite the Corona closure of the restaurant, my voucher was no longer redeemed because the deadline had supposedly expired. The Corona closure probably cannot be counted towards a set deadline. I tried to reach a compromise here. The boss then turned around and turned her back on me. Communication was no longer possible. The table I had previously reserved was also already taken. So the bottom line is that I really can't recommend this unfriendly shop anymore. The owner has probably never heard of service. The word comes from serving and performing. This arrogance will certainly have a negative impact in the long term.

Wow!! What a great experience! Super delicious food with the best ingredients and an exciting menu. Friendly service and sweet ambience. Also incredibly family friendly! We registered my little nephew in advance and everything was prepared for him (play box, high chair, place setting, etc.)

We received a voucher as a gift from my daughter and her husband. The two of them were with you before. My friend and I were thrilled! Especially the soup of the day on Friday was a taste explosion for me😃👍We will definitely come back, thank you!

We had (like so many times) a magical evening in the Little Castle! 5 stars+

Excellent cuisine; nice atmosphere and very friendly and competent staff. We had a very nice evening. Thanks for that!

Spontaneously went to the castle for lunch Beef rump medium in top quality Professional service staff Expectations exceeded

The ambience and service were very pleasant. The dishes, which were certainly of good quality, lacked the icing on the cake in terms of taste that would make them something special. A bottle of water for 8.50 euros just seems overpriced.

The food there is to die for. Incredibly tasty, prepared like a painting, the service is super nice!!!

Always a pleasure! We regularly and really enjoy going to the Kleine Burg to eat. The menus are varied, creative and simply delicious. In addition to menus with meat, vegetarian or vegan menus are also always offered. Another special feature of the staff at the small castle are the aperitifs, cocktails and digestifs. Upon request and if the employees' time permits, individual beverage requests can also be fulfilled. For example, a creative non-alcoholic cocktail. We feel very comfortable there and will continue to be regular visitors.

Wonderful evening with great food and a very attentive and friendly service team! First class!

Always great and the lunch menu is an absolute recommendation.

Great service. Particularly friendly and attentive

The food is not what it used to be. Quality has deteriorated and doesn't quite match the prices.

A delightful address. Calm. Great food, friendly staff.

Basically we would give 6 out of 5 stars for the food and service. The Little Castle is truly an experience that we can only warmly recommend.

Very friendly staff and the food was great!

We have often been guests at the Kleine Burg and, as always, it was very good, tasty and a pleasant atmosphere. We'd love to come back.

Very friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Gladly again.

A little very cold. Please turn up the heating LG M.H

Perfect restaurant, super delicious food, great service

Unfortunately, it didn't convince us at all. We sat in the front area. This one gives more of the impression of a bistro. Plus it was cold. For a place in this price range, I don't expect paper napkins and placemats. There was only a small Christmas card. (with dishes from the normal evening menu, although more expensive) The dishes were okay but completely overpriced and not enough. My food was lukewarm. For a main course that cost over 40 euros, I think that's a shame. If you want to focus on high-quality cuisine, then a lot still needs to be changed. Addendum to the answer to the original rating, which could no longer be changed: If you are asked for a review, you should handle it confidently even if you didn't get 5 stars. The bad reviews have been increasing lately, as you can see here. Maybe you should then accept criticism and not blame the customers who, in your opinion, have no idea about good cuisine.

A great evening with first-class service. Thank you!

Very nice evening, but we don't like to be "used to". You should ask about this beforehand!!!

We spent our Christmas dinner this year on the second holiday at lunchtime in the small castle. The reservation was made in advance by telephone and we were given a Christmas menu with a choice of starters, main courses and desserts. Ambience & Service: The reception was friendly, the atmosphere was stylish and festively decorated. What is particularly positive is that they thought of a high chair and coloring pages for our toddler. The start of our lunch was therefore very pleasant. Ordering drinks went quickly and everyone was able to toast in a relaxed manner. Food: We decided on appetizers and a dessert to share, while our daughter had pasta with tomato sauce (cooked without salt). At first everything went smoothly here. A group member had already explicitly asked about gluten-free options when making a telephone reservation, which was confirmed by the restaurant. Unfortunately, there was no gluten-free selection on the local menu and a corresponding dish had to be adapted. This caused uncertainty and could have easily been avoided with a little better preparation. The starters came quickly and tasted very good. However, for the main courses we had to wait about 60 minutes, without any response or apology from the service staff. Meanwhile, other guests who arrived later were served more quickly. The main course itself was unfortunately disappointing: the duck was dry and tough, the potato dumpling was more reminiscent of coarse, round-shaped mashed potatoes, and the sauce in combination with the red cabbage caused unpleasant heartburn. For the price of just under €40 per dish, we definitely expected a higher quality. This opinion was also shared by others in our group. The pasta was finally served to our daughter, but with the note that the plate was hot - information that would probably leave a 2-year-old toddler indifferent. We had to make room for ourselves so that the little one didn't want to keep touching the hot plate. When it came to dessert, they didn't take into account that we wanted to share it, and we had to request a special spoon anyway. Towards the end of the meal, the surprise message came that the restaurant would be closing in 15 minutes, even though drink orders had been taken shortly before. This left us feeling rushed. Conclusion: The small castle is without question a visually appealing restaurant with high standards, which unfortunately it did not live up to on this special day. While the ambience and first impressions were very positive, the kitchen performance and service at important moments left something to be desired. The lack of clarity regarding the gluten-free options and the long waiting times particularly spoiled the experience. For the price we paid, we would have expected a more sophisticated experience. Overall, a mixed impression remains. It's a shame, because the potential is definitely there.

Nice restaurant in the old town

Unfortunately we were very disappointed today. For the very high price I expect more. If a main course costs over €40, then I expect to be full and not just two small blobs of red cabbage and sweet potatoes alongside two pieces of meat. The taste was really good, but it wasn't enough. If some of the dishes on the Christmas menu are even more expensive than on the regular menu, then that has a slight aftertaste. (Screenshot: Filled potato and pumpkin rösti 26.50 / 27.90 or chestnut and celery soup 12.50 / 18.50). It's a real shame because I remembered this restaurant better and was really looking forward to the evening. We certainly won't be coming back again.

There was a Christmas menu. The duck was too dry for some people. I had a vegetarian dish that also had to be gluten-free, and it tasted very good. The atmosphere was very pleasant and the staff was very friendly. However, we would have been happy if we had been told that the restaurant closes at 3 p.m. Then we wouldn't have ordered another round of drinks at 2:45 p.m.

Sehr gutes Essen, sehr guter Service - auch mit Kindern. Sehr nette Atmosphäre mitten in der Oldenburger Altstadt. Gerne wieder.

The 5-course menu for €95 is worth its price in every respect: A harmonious composition of fish, seafood, meat, vegetables and dessert variations across the individual courses surprises and pampers every connoisseur's palate with a variety of different textures and flavor notes. Fireworks for all the senses!

Still at a high level and overall definitely recommended.

The food was again excellent - the service was good, the lady was on the line during the final rush to pay - the restaurant was busy, so it was very loud!

The lunch menu is very good and recommended. The taste is also very good! A small “break in style” is the wrapped biscuit with the espresso. Otherwise super great!

This was our third time in the Little Castle and once again it was very good. It's definitely worth a visit.

The food was top! .. We apologized for any discrepancies in a planned new booking. (It's better to make reservations by phone)

Very tasty food and delicious wines. Prices a little higher but appropriate for the quality. Service very good.

Our Christmas party with 20 people was a complete success – especially thanks to the outstanding service! The team was incredibly attentive, friendly and fulfilled every wish. In combination with the cozy atmosphere and the great food, it's just perfect. Absolutely recommended!

Das Personal war sehr aufmerksam und überaus freundlich. Das Essen war aber klar das Highlight des Abends: pfiffige Geschmackskombinationen und wunderschöne Anrichtung. Gerne wieder!

It's just an absolute pleasure every time. Great ambience, great and attentive service, and excellent food! Thanks! :-)

Super delicious food, the waiter was totally attentive and accommodating. We'd love to come back!

Great food with special side dishes and friendly service. Friendly and fast! The place is well attended! Located in a rather quiet alley in the city. Gladly again! Quality has been maintained for many years now. Everything was great again on this visit! From the photos you can see that we are there often and are always thrilled 🙋‍♂️😋💯 November 16th, 2024 Angus beef - everything was great again! 12/10/24 Duck leg - top - nice service!

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

While looking for lunch, I came across the “Little Castle”. Right near the greatest delicatessen in Oldenburg, I thought I had to go in there. And wow - I wasn't disappointed. Stylish and modern atmosphere, very good food at a more than fair price. I also liked that non-alcoholic aperitifs and the lunch menu offered vegetarian dishes, fish and meat. I was impressed by the service, which I have only very, very rarely experienced with such professionalism. I've been to much more expensive, some of them "starred" restaurants, which can learn a lot from this. Even though it was a bit crooked, someone was always keeping an eye on the tables and guests, you were greeted in a friendly manner, treated and asked questions; you really feel like a guest here. I definitely have to try it in the evening.

- Extremely attentive and friendly service, - excellent food in variations that are not commonplace - homely atmosphere

Yesterday we were guests with 4 people. The food was really great. No matter whether pasta, steak, schnitzel or fish. Everything tasted excellent. The starters were also great. The tomato jam was an absolute highlight. The service was also great and very attentive.

A very positive restaurant experience in the north for us spoiled connoisseurs of French and Alpine cuisine. Delicious, original dishes on a clear menu, but less is actually more here. Very charming ambience and perfect, friendly service made for a very nice, cozy evening. Gladly again!

It was all very tasty. The difference lies in the details and the taste.

Delicious. Service friendly and attentive, the food was excellent. A greeting from the kitchen would have been nice, and is actually standard in this price range. Otherwise everything was great, we would love to come back

Small but nice, small castle with lots of space. The restaurant consists of two buildings. Not connected, but next to each other. Both are set up the same. The main course can be upgraded to include soup/salad and dessert for an additional charge. Our food was good and tasted good.

Extremely good and pleasant service from a well-coordinated team. There is still some room for improvement in terms of taste.

Food and service great as always. There is only a deduction because it is very loud when all the tables are occupied and it is difficult to have a conversation.

Sensational 5-course menu, great ambience and extremely attentive and very friendly staff.

Lunch at an unbeatable price. Food is excellent, as is the price-performance ratio. Very nice service.

... everything is very good: -very attentive + unobtrusive service - only muted background music - best food - we felt very comfortable

Little disappointed from the duck….it was not that tender as for a year…otherwise one of my favorite places to dine in Oldenburg.

Very cute place. My chosen meal was very good. However, the potato pancakes in the main course didn't taste like anything. There was a complete lack of salt. Otherwise the dish was very tasty, although there was a bit too little fish and unfortunately the fish was without salt, pepper and lemon, I know otherwise. For the starter, the amount of avocado was too much and the goat cheese wasn't enough on the plate. So the goat cheese was completely lost in terms of taste. The gamba was excellent. The crème brulée was also great. I didn't try the sorbet because my neighbor at the table ate it because she didn't like the crème brulée. All in all, it was a successful evening, even if it was very, very expensive. Oh… and the wine! Unfortunately, it didn't really taste great for such an upscale atmosphere. And I wasn't alone with this opinion that evening! This should be improved!

Very polite and attentive staff. Food was very tasty. Price performance optimal.

Our favorite restaurant in OL. Thank you for another lovely evening

There is always very tasty, extravagant food here. You notice the attention to detail.

The service was sweet! The food was incredibly tasty and presented in an extremely appetizing manner. The restaurant is beautifully and comfortably furnished. 10/10!! (Please put more chestnuts on the menu :)

It was just perfect all around☺️

The food was okay, the wine was completely overpriced, and I also find it annoying to be constantly asked for a "review". For us it was the last visit to your establishment.

Thoughtful service, delicious food!

Always delicious…always well served…Thank you “Little Burg”

Excellent food. Experienced and very friendly staff. If something doesn't fit here, it's your fault!

There were three of us and we were welcomed into a cozy atmosphere. The menu has something for everyone. I decided on a vegan Rösti. As a starter we had a Bort variation. The food was delicious and the portions were generous. Good value for money. The filling of the Rösti was “hard on the salt” but the complaints here are at a high level. The service was ok. Two people took turns serving us. I was there for the first time. Some of the explanation was missing for me. Drinks menu does not include the complete offer. When asked, the response was irritated. No thanks for the already generous tip. Sometimes the circumstances make it so, so I would like to come back again!

Very well eaten and very good, friendly service

It is always a very pleasant experience to eat at the Kleine Burg. The dishes are imaginatively and lovingly prepared. The employees are very friendly. You feel comfortable and are always satisfied.

It's always beautiful and excitingly delicious in the Little Castle!

At the beginning the service was very attentive...then it slowed down considerably

A very nice little restaurant with very tasty food, something different.

We ate excellently and felt very comfortable!

Also ate wonderfully on the 9th visit! The consistent quality is worth an additional star for me. My absolute highlight this time was the porcini mushroom raviolo with shrimp in crustacean foam. Delicious!

Highly recommended restaurant. Very good cuisine at reasonable prices.

The food was great! Very exciting preparation and beautifully presented, accompanied by an excellent red wine and a very attentive and friendly service - all in all a well-rounded affair! Since the menu changes relatively often, you look forward to your next visit.

Although we come from Hanover, we stop by the small castle every time on the way to East Frisia. Not only is it a very nice location, the food is of top quality and always on point. The service is very attentive and really friendly. It's a shame that the little castle isn't available everywhere - or maybe not right now, otherwise it wouldn't be so unique anymore.

Friendly welcome, friendly and competent staff. We are very satisfied and look forward to the next time. Very good food, highly recommended. We would love to come back. Martin

Unfortunately the room wasn't that warm. Maybe it was because the weather was disgusting.

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

The service was very good. All of our wishes were immediately fulfilled, from the request for a seat, a little more lemon fizz in the Alster, additional mashed potatoes with the meal, and none of this appeared on the bill! That's what I call excellent service, and that's for lunch!! I had a similar experience with my husband in the “little castle” on our first wedding anniversary! Highly recommended!! My wolffish fillet was again a visual highlight and also tasted very good. The portion size was also very good! 5 stars from me! I would love to come back!! Christine

Very tasty starter and main course. Unfortunately, the dessert didn't top the menu. It was difficult to eat and didn't taste great. I expected more. Overall, I found the price-performance ratio to be a bit excessive. Unfortunately, the acoustics in the rooms are not that good. All the tables were occupied and when all the conversations were going on, it was difficult to understand each other.

Very nice and attentive staff. Very attractively prepared and tasty food. A delight for the taste buds. Recommended!

Very tasty food! 3 course menu with wine accompaniment is recommended. It would have been desirable to have more information when serving the dishes, e.g. what was on the plate. Otherwise very detailed description of the wines! That was fabulous!

Attentive service that leaves no questions or requests unanswered, a cozy atmosphere and the food meets expectations. Will definitely stop by here again to try more dishes.

Small and fine. Very cozy, great service and high quality.

Excellent vegetarian dishes. Small but fine wine selection and perfect service. Absolutely recommended.

Very attentive service, cozy atmosphere and delicious food!!!

We received a voucher for a meal with you. We didn't know your restaurant. We were pleasantly surprised by the ambience. The restaurant is very tastefully decorated. The waitress (young man) did his job perfectly. He was friendly, always present but not intrusive. The food was very tasty, but unfortunately my beef cheeks were no longer warm. The food was very tasty. The special combination of vegetables, potatoes and beef made the meal special. We'll definitely come back. LG

We sat at a table in the right room by the “passage”. I found it relatively cold there because the door was often opened or not completely closed when smokers went out. Despite the vestibule, it wasn't that comfortable. Since we had only spontaneously reserved a table in the morning, we thought it was nice to have been accepted at all. Everything else was fine. Thanks

A great service that served us a great menu. Gladly again.

Great service, and really well thought-out, high-quality and creative food (compliments to the kitchen team).
