La Pepa in Freiburg im Breisgau

It's very good food, I recommend the tapas with friends

I can absolutely recommend this restaurant! The calamari is to die for, and so is everything else! I've already browsed the menu a few times, the wines are very tasty and so are the cocktails (my favorite: The Porn Star, extremely tasty!). The staff is very attentive and friendly and the atmosphere is cozy and authentic. The restaurant invites you to linger for a long time, where you can really switch off and just enjoy.

It used to be my absolute highlight every time I visited Freiburg. The partner restaurant, la culinara, does what it promises, quite the opposite does la Pepa. Subterranean service, 3 forgotten tapas, no “sorry” when asked and no solution to the problem. Eating partly on plastic dishes. Too bad! Once a highlight

A tapas restaurant that changes and introduces us to other Spanish flavors. There is something for all tastes and appetites. As it is a restaurant-bar the festive atmosphere is very cool and lively with the music! The price is not higher than normal and given the quality and freshness of the products it seems justified to me. Special mention for the eggplants with cane honey which I recommend 2000%.

Ambience great, food okay but very expensive, service very inattentive.

Nette Bedienung, aber das Brot war sehr trocken und nicht frisch und die Preise sind leider völlig überzogen. 60 € für ein paar Häppchen und 2 Bier

Unfortunately a disappointing evening for us. We were 6 and we'd reserved a table and ordered drinks and a round of 6 tapas. 5 of the drinks arrived and then the first few tapas and two small bits of bread. The next tapas arrived still not the 6th drink. After 30 minutes we asked the waiter and the 6th drink arrived "on the house" he said. That was ok. We ordered 5 more tapas including a basket of bread as we had some much tasty sauces left in the tapas bowls but the 2 small bits of bread were long gone. Two tapas arrived. We waited..... ...and waited. No other tapas or bread arrived! By this time the super tasty gambas oil what was left which I was so looking forward to dipping bread into had gone cold! Annoying. It was already too late for us and eventually we got the waiter's attention and got the bill. €180!! I wasn't paying but I am sure they charged us for the missing tapas and the late drink. There were 6 of us and we were getting these tapas slowly and with hardly any bread. It was frustrating to say the least and I don't usually like to write about a negative experience but this was really sloppy service. Sorry, but just throw a basket of bread on the table to keep your customers happy, especially a group of six.

Definitely reserve. The service enabled me to eat something there, even though all the seats were reserved. The food was very tasty and I can only recommend the restaurant

My partner and I went there spontaneously and luckily got a spot because it was very full. The waiter was very nice and the food also tasted very good. We'll definitely be back

I've been coming here off and on for years. Unfortunately, I have to say that the price/performance ratio has decreased significantly. For a long time there was no getting around la Pepa. But unfortunately now. There was a lot of decline there.

We are totally thrilled: We found the restaurant by chance during a visit to Freiburg - and celebrated our spontaneous visit as a stroke of luck. Truly exceptional tapas - both the composition of the menu and the preparation of the individual dishes. Very good red house wine, a relaxed, attentive and cheerful, completely Spanish-speaking service crew and a very cozy atmosphere. An absolutely great evening for us - we would be happy to come back if we were to be in Freiburg again. Muchas gracias!

Unfortunately disappointing experience :( Exactly a week ago I was with a friend at La Pepa in the evening around 7:00 p.m. After we arrived, the waitress showed us carelessly to our table and then ran away again. It also took at least 15 for her to come back to take our drink order. (!) Unfortunately, after she slapped our drinks on the table in a somewhat unfriendly manner, she ran away again without asking us whether we were ready to order our food. We then had to call her over again. For dinner we ordered 3 different tapas. Unfortunately, the tapas were thrown back on the table without an explanation as to what they had brought us. Unfortunately the ratatouille was already cold. During our visit we weren't even asked if it tasted good or if we had anything else we would like (I would have expected that given the somewhat higher price level)! Even when we were finished it took forever for one of the two service staff to clear the table, even though we had already put everything aside. We ordered churros and were then informed fairly promptly that we should pay now because they would settle the bill. I'm really not a picky person but this was really not a welcome visit to this restaurant. Paid €60 for the food to be mediocre and the service just disappointing. But cocktails were great and so were churros.

Great tapas and the olives are just fantastic. Unfortunately it was a bit cold in the restaurant

Typically done in Spanish, great. We really thought of everything. Even the flamenco dance on the television. I felt like I was in my homeland 💃💃💃

Food was very tasty. However, the service was unfortunately not particularly good. And the price-performance ratio could also be better

More of a bar for drinking than a restaurant for tapas. The quality of the tapas is very poor. Cold and poorly cooked tortilla having nothing to do with a Spanish tortilla. Croquetas in tiny portions, very fatty and not typical of Spain. Ensaladilla rusa without soul and without taste. Could do better and too expensive for the basic quality offered by this establishment.

Fast, delicious tapas bar with fair prices and generous portions!

The best tapas restaurant in Freiburg! The service is friendly, attentive and very professional. The atmosphere is authentically Spanish, with a mix of coziness and Spanish energy. The tapas themselves are incredibly delicious! Anyone who loves Spanish food will definitely be happy here. PS: thank you very much that the voucher worked! You are the best!

The food was nothing really spectacular for someone who knows what Spanish food should really look like and taste like. The packaged frozen squid is nothing special, I can make it at home, the croquettes had a very good flavor but with the center more icy than the North Pole and the garlic prawns were anything but garlic prawns, they were so spicy that they didn't even We were able to finish eating them, if they are supposed to be garlic shrimp shouldn't they at least taste like garlic? Unfortunately they only tasted spicy... in conclusion, an experience that I would certainly not repeat and that I do not recommend.

Everything great ! Delicious Spanish tapas, nice wines, San Miguel on tap and a very attentive Sara in service.

Very nice decor, very good and generous dishes but €7 for a carafe of water is indecent!

A nice little tapas bar. We had very nice service. The tapas were very tasty. Overall it was a nice evening.

An improbable discovery: this tapas bar among our German friends! Remember to book on Saturday evening because many people are refused entry without a reservation A real tapas bar with a typical Spanish atmosphere. Quite noisy...if you're looking for peace and quiet, go your own way. Nice surprise regarding the well-cooked tapas: Serrano ham, cheese, croquetas... Friendly service. I recommend.

A prime example of a bad Spaniard! "Dried bread from Seville" is only on the menu, you just get potato chips out of the bag on your plate. Olive kebabs are apparently no longer there, even though they are in the display case. Lomo saltado: meat quality of the lowest level, not a single piece could be chewed! The waitress is not interested in the customer and tips are simply collected without asking. Any kebab shop would have been a better choice. Goodbye forever!

We went there for dinner for the first time and were pleasantly surprised. The portion sizes of the tapas are reasonably priced but almost too much for us. A small delay at the beginning was responded to very nicely. The rooms in the basement seem a bit more comfortable because the volume in the upper area is a bit high. Clear 5 stars ⭐️, we'll be back 😉

Wir waren als Gruppe mit 14 Personen dort, hatten eine nette Bedienung und haben gute und leckere Tapas gegessen. Gerne wieder!

La Pepa is a perfect place for good food and enjoying a unique place in Freiburg. It has a dreamy decoration and ground floor. An extraordinary and excellent staff. You feel at home 🏠. Great range of cocktails, Very professional, highly recommended.

It was a really nice evening. Food was good and the waitress was very friendly. We had a reservation and got a table in the basement, it was nice there (we wished they said that on the phone when reserving a table!) - it was cozy in the "cellar" for the time of year and it's nicely decorated down there

Chaos at the entrance. Table for eating 40x 40 cm on absolutely unsuitable, uncomfortable bar stools in the passage with a view and smell of/from the toilet in the basement. Despite prior reservation. When I asked whether another table would be possible for eating, I was told: "You are assigned to this table, I can't do anything about it." Went straight back. Accordingly, no statement about the quality of the food.

Best service and food, u feel like home , glad to come back :)

Super fine and good service We had the menu

A very nice, cozy restaurant with very tasty food and great service. Gladly again.

Ate Spanish for the first time (fried cassava and panini with Iberico). Food was very tasty and highly recommended, ambience was very loud, service was unfortunately not very pleasant. It took a long time until we were even allowed to order drinks. Before we got them, the two girls at the next table got their drinks and the first round of food. After our drinks (1 bottle of sparkling wine and 2 bottles of still water at the beginning for 6 people) were brought to the table, it took another quarter of an hour until the food was served. Everything was incredibly tasty, portions (everyone had two small dishes) were just right to fill you up. Shortly after 8 p.m. we were told that we would like to pay... Two were charged before us, food was brought to 5 others and the two waiters, both of whom knew that we wanted to leave, paid no attention. After a second request, there was an almost curt "I told my colleague" and a third request from us, the time had finally come: the bill was brought, put down and the waiter was gone again. Whether we would like to pay together or separately was not asked in advance and when the waiter came and started saying "well I had..." he crumpled up the receipt and left again. Then he handed out food again and another 10 minutes passed. Then both waiters stood there (now 8:35 p.m.) and the last waiting time was excused as a cash register problem, which unfortunately doesn't make up for the previous lack of service. So if you want a delicious meal you can definitely go to La Pepa, if you sit at all the other tables than at the entrance just around the corner on the right, you'll probably have better luck with the service

My wife and I were there on October 4th and 5th. at La Pepa and thought it was really great. A great team. Very friendly and considerate. Fast service and delicious food and drinks. Thank you. We'll definitely be back.

Very tasty and highly recommended.

Fantastic tapas bar. Top food, world class service. Gladly again 👍

Really, really delicious vegetarian food: fruity olives, honey eggplant, goat cheese croquettes, mushrooms, potatoes with garlic sauce, churros. Everything was very delicate and really well seasoned. Yes, we swallowed the bill, but the food is simply something special. Service was very nice and polite, you might need a little patience. But the restaurant was also full. I would be happy to come back at any time and can highly recommend it!

Very good service. The waitress with the glasses was super nice.

Tolle spanische Küche, man fühlt sich ein bisschen wie im Urlaub in Spanien. Authentische Tapas, nette Bedienung. Kommen gerne wieder.

Very tasty tapas Unfortunately, the staff was very unmotivated and absent, and the tapas also came with a delay

The tapas were really delicious. Cooked well and flawlessly and (as far as I can tell) authentic. Unfortunately, there was a draft throughout the restaurant and the employees didn't close the door until late. In addition, the employees smoked in front of the front door, so smoke also drifted into the restaurant. Finally, a few of the lamps had a loose connection, causing an inhospitable flickering light. The service was very slow. Of course, tapas should be served one after the other and in peace. However, there shouldn't have been waiting times of over 20 minutes until we could order the next course (including preparation, up to 30 minutes between courses). Order requests (please the two following tapas at the same time, because they are not something for all eaters; please carbonated water, etc.) were consistently not implemented. Even after ordering, it took a long time for the food to arrive. Overall, we left after 2.5 hours hungry and dissatisfied (and €140 less for 3 people). I wouldn't come back.

Nice Spanish place. Good food and nice atmosphere. Service could be better for sure.

It's a mega tapas bar, but 18 euros for a handful of calamari is steep. Unfortunately I won't be setting foot in there again. For 18 euros more, expect pizza next time you're in Freiburg

The food was good. But the staff was underground and so rude and heartless. The impudence started when I ordered and stopped when the waiter covered me with curry sauce (shoes, skirt, top and the bag) all he said was "today is not my day". When he came back and he threw a rag on the table and said "sorry," I thought I was in the wrong movie. We had to clean everything ourselves: table, chair, bag and my clothes as best we could. I was able to dispose of my clothes, which is why I'm only writing the recession today, the whole thing took place on August 16th, 2024. Sure we got 5 *ONE* Crema Catalana... That's a joke when I look at the costs...

Attentive staff, great tapas, highly recommended

Absolut fähiges Personal Tapas zu Empfehlen einfach lecker kommen wieder. Klein aber fein reservieren über Webseite problemlos.

Very nice and comfortable place, very kind and helpful waiters and particular and well-plated food (space), also affordable prices. I recommend it.

It was delicious, the service was unfortunately a bit slow, there wasn't much going on and during the week🙄 you're welcome to try it yourself 👌

The table wasn't wiped for 45 minutes and it really needed it. The calamari wasn't fried, had to be put back in the deep fryer and the vegetables were charred. Everything was bearable, but unfortunately it all took an hour and the service was, as usual in Freiburg, in a bad mood. It's a shame, we always enjoyed being there, it's nice to sit in. We might drink some wine there, but yesterday was our last time eating.

Beautiful ambience, top service - super friendly. The food was terrific 😋😋😋 We once again had a wonderful evening in la Pepa

It's very good, but not perfect... Tapas are original and tasty, the service is very nice, but I'm not drawn to come back. Maybe it's just my feeling, but the Spanish soul is missing...

Very tasty food! Great tapas, warm and cold. Drinks okay. Some tapas are realistically priced, some are too expensive. But just - very tasty.

Very good great authentic tapas bar! The service was great, very friendly, helpful with the selection, you can tell they all love their job and their bar! Food was very good! We will be back definitely!

Wow! I've only ever known such high-quality tapas from LaCulunaria 🤘 The good-looking, tattooed waitress was able to answer all my questions about the menu in Spanish and quickly brought food and drink ❤️

Very carefully seasoned for a Spaniard...

Good Spanish options, some dishes are a fusion between Spain and Latin American, it is not bad, so if you like to try it and you are not a purist of Spanish cuisine, you will enjoy it! Highly recommended!

Unfortunately it's only good for drinking. Four pieces of honeydew melon with ham for €9 and then a stomach ache for us. But drinks were great.

Very tasty food and very nice service!

Spanish flair in Freiburg. If you want to enjoy good tapas at a good price, you should definitely visit this restaurant. Offer day menu and happy hour. Recommended!

The food was extremely tasty and came super quickly. The employees were very courteous and on the ball. Felt like a mini vacation. Gladly again!

Completely recommended, super delicious food, very friendly service and an outstanding tinto de verano!

The selection of tapas is really mega! Great tapas and nice atmosphere 😊

Very good Spanish restaurant with super nice staff. A place to feel good and come back.

Delicious tapas, great selection of vegetarian tapas too. Any time.

Nice little Spanish tappas bar, good croquettes and nice atmosphere.

The two of us had dinner. We were able to make a reservation very spontaneously and the food was very tasty. The waitresses are also great, especially the love with the glasses who gave us a vodka caramel on the house afterwards. All in all a great evening that needs to be repeated.

A cozy tapas bar with a great ambience. Unfortunately, we all found the tapas to be a bit boring in terms of taste.

The best tapas bar in Freiburg, always a pleasure!

Perfect Price performance exceeded our expectations. The service and the food were fantastic

Bar à tapas Prix abordables On retrouve les tapas classiques Le goût y est , la quantité aussi L’ambiance est typique espagnole Service agréable Dépaysant !!

It's always an experience to order tappas here. Super tasty, great restaurant

Fantastic, cozy tapas bar in a prime location opposite the Cinemaxx. I had a Russian salad - a huge portion to fill up or share, although I was only expecting a small tapas portion. Here you start with the perfect foundation for a long night! Very friendly service and delicious food - even until shortly before closing.

The food was so bad that I would rather eat boiled potatoes for the next 25 years. If I could I would give 0 stars. The service was the best though.

Friendly service, the ambient was ideal, the food I had no complaints. I didn't have to wait too long to be served. If you want to eat spanish in Freiburg this is the place to go.

Wir waren als Familie in Freiburg im la Pepa, und ich muss sagen, es war ein tolles Erlebnis. Ich glaube, alle Menschen, die in diesem Restaurant bedient haben, waren Spanier, und die Tapas, die es gab, waren auch alle echt richtig tolle spanische Tapas. Wir haben es sehr genossenauch leckeren Wein dazu getrunken und hatten eine Menge Spaß. Gerne wieder beim nächsten Besuch in Freiburg

Delicious food, unfortunately very loud, you can hardly have a conversation

Nice to eat tapas, food comes relatively quickly and is good to very good. Creme Catalan is a matter of taste, I didn't like it, it was a bit different from the original in my opinion. Still a good Spanish restaurant

What a surprise to find this site! I felt at home. The tapas were delicious and the atmosphere was great. It is an excellent place to have tapas or a drink.

Authentic Spanish restaurant with a wide selection of tapas.

Unfortunately, we were a bit disappointed, especially with the price-performance ratio of the food. It tasted okay, but nothing more. We thought it was a bit cheeky to charge €18 for a limited quantity of grilled vegetable platter that wasn't even really tasty (the eggplant, for example, was rubbery and not well fried). The rest of the dishes weren't very convincing either. Our nicely formulated feedback wasn't really well received by the waitress (“I can't do anything about that”). The atmosphere is very pleasant; under different circumstances we would have liked to stay longer. I won't come back.

Large selection of Spanish dishes and drinks. Delicious food and nice service. Unfortunately the music was a bit too loud.

Lecker, wunderbare Tapasauswahl, toller Vino de la Casa, super tolle spanische Bedienung - es war ein schöner Abend!!

La Pepa in Freiburg deserves three stars because despite the deteriorating quality of the food, the often too loud music that makes conversation difficult, and an ambience that seems dark and a bit outdated, the service remains a bright spot. The staff is consistently friendly and courteous, which noticeably enhances the overall experience.

We love La Pepa. Great tapas and cool stuff

food is okay. our server was slow and useless. she couldnt recommend anything and seemed annoyed and arrogant. She doesnt give those spanish vibes this tapas bar is trying to convey. cocktails were good, la pepa is still recommendable for having some drinks

Perfect and recommended Spanish restaurant. Looks like you're there. All very good. The perfect ratatouille from La Mancha (says a manchego from Albacete) Albugerautos andorra

Das Essen ist sehr fein, das Ambiente toll und der Service war top. Einziger Kritikpunkt: der Rotwein wird ungekühlt serviert. Unbedingt reservieren am Wochenende.

Super nice, tasty and Spanish 😉

100% recommended, we were surprised by the treatment of the workers who were all Spanish and the welcome olives that we ended up buying because they are very tasty. You can see that the dishes are made with love and transported us straight to Spain. We will come back!

Very tasty food, great wines and very friendly and attentive staff. We were really very satisfied.

We had only reserved for two people and met an acquaintance 10 minutes before our reservation who came with us. Despite the fact that the shop was completely full, the service was so flexible and was able to offer us a table. The food came very, very quickly and was very tasty. My personal favorite was the chorizos. The waitresses have a temper, which is very personable. The only thing I have to criticize is that you are told how long you can sit, for us it was now 2 hours. We would have liked to drink another bottle of wine, but we didn't have enough time.

Nice Spanish atmosphere with a delicious tapas selection. The cozy atmosphere invites you to linger. The restaurant is lovingly decorated in Spanish style, with warm colors and traditional decorations. The tapas selection is varied and delicious. From classic Tortilla Española to grilled prawns, everyone will find something to their taste here. The fresh ingredients and authentic spices make every dish a real pleasure.

Authentic and unique restaurant! Very tasty food and friendly service combined with good music and attractive decoration create a very special atmosphere. A piece of Spain in Freiburg to eat well and have a good time...

The food was great and the cocktails were delicious. The team is very friendly and you feel comfortable. Definitely recommendable.

We went on Friday for dinner and everything was great, very good food, very nice staff and good atmosphere, we will return soon! :)

Service war gut und freundlich - das Essen war reichlich, jedoch irgendwie schwer verdaulich- leider. Was auch nicht geht ist, dass man für Wasser (mit ein paar Blätter Minze, das wussten wir nicht) 7 € bezahlt?! Es war nicht schlecht, doch wir werden nicht mehr hingehen.

The food was too greasy for me personally and the service itself was unfortunately very overwhelmed that evening. Although a “normal” table was reserved, we were only given a bar table, which did not allow more than 3 dishes at the same time. We also received the wrong delivery several times, and some dishes never arrived at all. The price was not entirely understandable given the small size of some of the dishes. When collecting the tip, the waitress charged us a much larger tip than planned, which was a bit unpleasant for us.

Mega good tapas at very good prices in a Spanish atmosphere... very good!

Poorly directed. Exploited service.

Delicious tapas, a bit noisy in the interior, great wine selection.
