manin St.Wendel in St. Wendel

Were there during the Easter market. Service was completely overloaded, unfortunately our companion's pizza was cold. The side salad didn't come at all, despite a complaint. We waited 45 minutes for the bill, then we got up and wanted to pay at the cash register. The lady wanted to send us away saying that everything was full. If we had just left, no one would have noticed. Of course we paid but this place saw us for the last time. Too bad

I visited the Manin during the Easter market. Unfortunately, neither the service nor the kitchen was up to the rush. My currywurst was cold when I got it and our drinks came later than the food. What a shame!

Never eaten such a disgusting tarte flambée... 25cm of poor quality for €13.50 It's enough for a café, I wouldn't order anything more here

We had dinner last night and the dinner was very, very good. Highly recommended

Review for the Manin restaurant in St. Wendel – breakfast experience We went to Manin in St. Wendel for breakfast and overall it was a good experience. The selection was rich and varied: There were boiled eggs, scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, various rolls and bread, a good selection of cheese and sausage as well as jam, yoghurt and muesli. Everything was fresh and tasted perfect. What I personally was missing was a little more fruit or perhaps a sweet component like waffles or pancakes - that would have rounded off the breakfast a bit. But overall it was a solid breakfast that served its purpose. If you're looking for a hearty selection, this is definitely the place for you. Conclusion: Good, filling breakfast with solid quality - for me a little more sweet or fresh would have been the icing on the cake.

Yesterday we ate at Manin again for a long time. The prices seemed pretty expensive to us, but we didn't think anything bad about it, so we ordered pasta and pizza. And then the big shock when the food was brought to the table. The portions were really very small and in my opinion absolutely not justified for the price. But the service, the ambience and the taste of the food were pretty good. Nevertheless, we wouldn't come back at such prices.

The first part is from 2015! Delicious taste I enjoy going there with friends and family. Whether for a coffee or for a meal. Now comes 2025 I really like the Manin and in the summer we visit the outdoor area almost every day... But people, people... Our company party, a brunch, wasn't really tasty or creatively prepared... The food has left more and more to be desired over the last 3 years and the service... well... laugh or just be friendly 😜 Not even water for the dog etc is offered. Zero initiative or commitment. It would be great if you change this situation and Manin becomes what it once was. A great restaurant with good food that shines with creativity, passion and diversity. The best thing to do is to get Faruk on the team. With this guy in the store, humor and joy will come back into the store. He's currently working at Gillen and previously ditched Luise for years.

Update December 27, 2024: It's fair to say that Manin has changed for the better. The food has become tastier overall and there is now a larger selection, including vegetarian and vegan dishes. The changing lunch menu is a welcome change and offers something for every taste. The price-performance ratio is very fair. Please keep it up! Review from 2022: I am very surprised at the many positive votes. I live in St. Wendel and sit on the Schlossplatz at least twice a week. I can still remember the early days of this restaurant, raving about the pizza or the spaghetti Bolognese. The food was so good that I even overlooked the deficiencies in the service. But those days are long gone. At Manin St. Wendel I could observe how the quality has steadily decreased. The pizzas are no longer what they once were and for me personally they are now at the level - as harsh as it may sound - of frozen pizzas. The only advantage of this place is the location.

Unfortunately I can't give a review, I've been thinking about it for a long time. But after there was no response to an email, I wrote here. We had booked and paid for the Valentine's Day event. And we went home without food, we were simply forgotten. After several inquiries, we received the leftovers from the kitchen around 10 p.m. The boss was on site, but he apparently doesn't care about the individual customer. I wasted 80 euros and didn't even get an apology. It's a shame, we always enjoyed being guests at Manin and the events.

Nice ambience, good food, value for money. Service is also great......we'll be back.

Yes, we were there for breakfast, good price and friendly service

Spaghetti didn't really convince me :(

In advance! I always try to be very careful when applying for restaurants and other locations. I usually let the impression sink in for a few days, especially when I have negative impressions. I went to Manin in St. Wendel with my daughter based on a recommendation. We wanted to go out for something to eat. The ambience outside and inside was very appealing. It didn't take long until we were brought to the table. Then the waiting began. No map and no service. Service staff scurried past and we waited patiently. Finally a member of staff came from the service and before we had the menu he asked if we knew what we wanted to drink. Everything seemed a little stressed, although the restaurant was busy but not overcrowded and there were several service people in the restaurant. Again. It was my subjective impression. A short time later we ordered and were very surprised when the food was brought to the table a few minutes later. We ordered pizza 🍕 (see picture) and schnitzel and fries. My pizza was a little dark but not burnt. In terms of taste, I've had some that were much better. As we all know, food is a matter of taste. But what you can judge is quality. I was wondering why my daughter only tried her schnitzel and then only ate her fries. When asked, she said that the schnitzel didn't taste good. I tried it and she was right. In my opinion the schnitzel was frozen ready-made. 3mm meat with breading. Quality was zero and so the 2 schnitzels were almost completely returned. When I pointed this out, the waiter said we could have said something earlier. I would have if I had been noticed. But no matter... there are much better alternatives for food. There isn't much choice when it comes to service personnel these days. A good employee would have expressed regret and given feedback to the kitchen.

Can only recommend the breakfast 😋

Flammkuchen All You Can Eat: First cream!!!

The pizza was OK, but quite small for the price. The atmosphere is nice, but the tables are very narrow and there is little space. The restaurant is loud, the selection of drinks is good and so is the service.

Yes, patience is required if you come at peak times

Friendly service, delicious food in a cozy environment

We were at manin St. Wendel at a time when the restaurant was very busy. There was also a lot going on outside. Nevertheless, all the service staff kept a cool head, were friendly and we got our food in less than 15 minutes. Everything went well and I give the manin credit for that. Hence 5 stars.

We had breakfast at Manin for my mother's birthday. The “buffet” was very manageable (about 5 containers, 2 cereal bowls and the usual additions). We were put on the upper floor, where we now had the problem that all the containers were constantly empty, which meant we had to constantly run up and down. In addition, the breakfast buffet was far too small for three large rooms that were full of people who were hungry, so you have more choice at the breakfast table at home. Maybe the restaurant should concentrate better on the a la carte dishes and skip the breakfast for 10€. Of course, the staff tried very hard to look after the guests, but unfortunately they could hardly keep up with the drinks or refilling the food. A clear no from me, we will no longer come for breakfast, unfortunately it is no longer the old Manin as we used to know it, the quality and cleanliness have deteriorated significantly.

Visited there during the Christmas market, including the in-house mulled wine stand where two young men were working. Underground unfriendly because you didn't know how to order a Lumumba left-green-correct. Completely deluded and even insulting.

Cozy and very nice, dedicated staff. I think a lot has developed for the better here. Keep it up!

We had breakfast here today. For €9.90 there is a good selection of products, all of which appear very fresh. The only criticism is that it is very cold.

Unfortunately, the mulled wine hike was a non-starter. At the start you had to wait at least 30 minutes, in the rain, until you could start. The first mulled wine stand was at the windiest point you could choose on the way. At the end of the hike you could no longer redeem your vouchers. Unfortunately not recommended.

We celebrated our company Christmas party here. From the organization to the end of the event, everything was great. A celebration in the room on the 1st floor is only recommended. We were completely alone and received great service. The atmosphere was great. There's nothing wrong with it.

We like coming here. The buffet is well stocked and the staff is always very friendly and helpful. I especially find the rooms on the 1st floor beautiful and cozy.

We ate at Manin today. The service was great, drinks and food came quickly. The pizza was excellent, the pasta was delicious. The schnitzel was also very good, although the garlic in the mushroom cream sauce was unusual. The tarte flambée tasted good, but the edge was a bit too dark. But that's complaining at a high level! But what really annoyed me, and I'm deducting a point for that, is the fact that at the beginning of November I reserved a table for 6 people by phone for this evening. We arrived 15 minutes early and asked if our table was already available. The waitress said that they wouldn't make a reservation at all and that there wasn't a table reserved for us... That was really awesome. Luckily, a table for 6 people had just become available... But still: I felt a bit fooled by the young man who took my reservation on the phone and was still busy searching in the book to see if there was a table on December 13th. There was still a table available and the reservation (supposedly) was noted…

Everything was great, good service, good food.

Acceptable food service location atmosphere

It's now an imposition! The pizza is a pinsa or has the shape of a pinsa, the bill says drinks that you didn't even have, and some of the staff are more than rude! Never again and it was an institution for years!

Nice restaurant, but very loud and the waiters make a fuss that doesn't fit the ambience. You feel fobbed off. Drinks and food are served quickly and the next guests are already waiting. A little more peace and not the waiters running through the free areas of the tables would be recommended.

Als wir das 1.Mal dort waren ,sagte der Kellner in 1 Std müssen wir den Tisch verlassen..das kam uns schon etwas komisch vor. Das Essen..Thunfischpizza und Flammkuchen mit Lachs war gut. Das letzte Mal,war es sehr laut und das selbe Essen weniger gut.Weniger belegt und extrem fettig und salzig. Ich mag nicht,wenn die Qualität variiert,denn der Preis bleibt gleich.Bedienung war diesmal freundlicher.

We were amazed that we hadn't discovered such a beautiful location in Saarland yet. We stopped there before the Christmas market? And again later. Gummer because we liked it there so much. The most delicious cakes, tasty coffee, really nice, young, relaxed, quick service. We'll be back very soon, even though we're 40 km away!

A few days ago my husband and I went there for breakfast (with reservation). To be honest, I would have imagined something different. I found the breakfast buffet's selection to be okay (for the price), but I find it a bit strange that the drinks are charged separately... Our waitress was nice, but unfortunately she couldn't really explain to us how the whole thing works. Also when it came to seating, we were given a table where we felt squeezed, even though the restaurant was empty... We asked if we could get another table, but they said "no" because the tables were already reserved ... Then suddenly other guests came and had a free choice of tables without reservations. We didn't think that was okay. Atmosphere 2 (Very dark and narrow) Service 2 (only one of them friendly) Competence 2 Price/performance ratio 3 We think twice about whether we want to spend our time there again...

A very successful evening with good food! The newly created pizza is really delicious! Unfortunately I have to deduct 2 stars for the ambience, although I really like the space itself and is also very comfortable. In the evening and when the restaurant is full, the noise is extremely loud, which may not be pleasant for everyone.

We were there for breakfast! Buffet was only refilled after request! Coffee didn't come until we were almost finished with breakfast! Plates, bowls etc. were also sparsely refilled! We sat very tightly and had trouble getting out, which is often the case at a buffet! If the number of guests cannot be managed, you are not allowed to accept so many reservations and not over 2 floors! The service gave everything and was very friendly

The breakfast buffet is very manageable and is refilled too rarely, so you often find yourself standing in front of empty containers. It took over half an hour for us to get the coffee we ordered. The coffee was also much too thin, i.e. not good. Unfortunately, absolutely not recommended.

Greetings to the great waiter Hagen, who treated me so well💙

No response to inquiries/table reservations via email

We came by without a table reservation, luckily there was just a table available. The service team was very nice and knew exactly what they were doing, the niece received a straw and, as a friendly gesture, a packet of Haribo Gold Bears. As a burly guy, I was fed up with the schnitzel and it was very tender, just like a Viennese-style dish should be. The rest of the family was also full and they enjoyed it just as much. I would love to come back, really brilliant!

It took a very long time for the drinks to arrive. But not just at our table. After placing the drink order, it took a good 15 minutes until we had our drinks. But the food came quickly for the number of guests and it was delicious. So we would probably eat there again. Prices are moderate and okay.

Market day is busy, staff quite overwhelmed 😎

The two of us were there for breakfast. It was a while ago, it was warmer and you could sit outside. We sat outside and ordered. While we were briefly inside, our table outside was boarded. Then we moved, luckily there was still something available. The breakfast buffet was swarming with wasps. Not really nice and I didn't want to try some things anymore. The promised crepe was only available after repeated requests. I don't have to have it again.

Everything was fine. The only thing I would complain about was that the cutlery for sausage and cheese was often missing. There were also no tongs for bread, rolls and pretzels. Otherwise everything was good 👍

Was there for breakfast today - a disaster. Too many people were crammed into a small space, the selection at the buffet was more than manageable and the quality was poor. The only thing worth highlighting is a nice young woman in service. Overall actually 0 stars!!!

Every square meter is used ruthlessly here. The tables are so close together that you're almost sitting on your neighbor's lap. The buffet is more than modest. The boiled eggs are in a pot with the meatballs and sausages.

I'm excited about everything That was still missing in St. Wendel. Delicious drinks, something for everyone

Always great. Cafe Manin is a must, really tasty..

Super delicious food, delicious homemade cake and coffee. In summer you can also sit outside in the beautiful ambience of the Schlossplatz.

Horrible service. The waitress is unable to collect properly because there is apparently not enough change in her wallet. In the middle of cashing in she disappears and doesn't come back for ages, cashing in somewhere else. Then fumble around again until she's forced enough of a tip because you finally want to leave and supposedly can't let her out. Where is something like that? Or could she just not do the math?

Unfortunately I can't rate the manin in St. Wendel according to the actual star system. My husband and I reserved a table for two people. When we were there, the restaurant was very busy. We were given the last table in the corner of the first compartment. This place was so underground. My husband had to sit on the corner. He was unable to place the chair correctly because there were people sitting all around it. We asked for another table, unfortunately, according to the waiter, it wasn't possible. We then got up and left the restaurant. We would have liked to try the breakfast buffet.

Disaster! The online reservation for four people, one of whom has walking difficulties, was apparently completely ignored. We were given a table in the farthest corner, but after a short time it was so full and narrow that we couldn't leave the table. Really great at a buffet! We had to beg for cutlery. That was my last visit here.

We went to Manin for breakfast this morning. Finally a breakfast buffet at a pleasant price. Everything fine. Booking went smoothly, breakfast was delicious and plentiful. The service was attentive, courteous and polite. We'll be back. Keep it up.

Was there yesterday with our friends. The food was good!! But stay away from the ice cream sundaes. A scoop of ice cream and lots and lots of cream. So cream sundaes not ice cream sundaes. And this for 5.50 euros!!!!

Today we went to the breakfast buffet with the whole family. Everything was actually fine until I saw that the sliced ​​bread was moldy. I told a service person and she replaced the bread. Something like that absolutely shouldn't happen. How old must the bread have been for it to be moldy? So it wasn't fresh bread. It must have been a few days old and of course had been stored very poorly. This is an absolute no go!!!!

€9.90 for a breakfast buffet is an unbeatable price these days, and the crowds are correspondingly large. The operators want to accommodate as many people as possible and so the guests are not only placed in the main area of ​​the restaurant but also on the upper floor. You have to go downstairs to get food from the buffet. The advantage of the upper room is that it is not so loud and you can have a good conversation. The food offered was good. However, the size of the buffet did not suit the number of people present at all, so that some plates and bowls were empty very quickly, the queues were long and the service staff couldn't refill them quickly enough. The drinks also took an extremely long time. One person at the table got their cappuccino after we had almost finished breakfast and only after we asked again. The service staff should not be blamed at all for this. Despite the stress, the young woman was very friendly and tried hard. I think there were simply too many people for the capacity of the kitchen, counter and service.

Very nice staff...good value for money

Was always satisfied, but yesterday my friend had a salad returned, the price was charged in full and the waiter was very unfriendly 😔

The service was very attentive but there was also a lot going on...the drinks were delicious although I couldn't taste the alcohol...it was probably forgotten after two drinks...but a very nice place where you can sit outside...

Friendly employees Fast and good service

We like to sit here in the summer. Everything is always very tasty. Good service and nice operation. What more could you want?

Great restaurant in the city of St. Wendel with friendly staff and fast service. An additional plus point goes to the new lunch menu with reasonable prices and delicious dishes☺️

Evening menu to forget. Toilet difficult to reach for people with walking difficulties. Parking lot too far away.

So I imagined something different to eat on a Sunday lunchtime when the weather was nice. We sat outside and the employees had to drive around with a “lizard” and cause noise for almost 2 hours. The employees were apparently busy with other things and didn't even come to take the orders (at that point 30-40 minutes had passed and there was hardly anything going on). To make matters worse, the food wasn't good either. Fried potatoes were more like boiled potatoes and the salad was just mush because apparently too much dressing was prepared in the kitchen. The schnitzel had no taste. All in all we won't go there again.

I only had coffee and cake ☕🍰 and they were both very good😊 but for a piece of cheese cream 🍰 €5.50 was already a proud price.

The nice waitress said I should please put my pizza box with pizza on the free table behind us, which I did. Then a condition male put the box away in a very unfriendly manner and said yes, I threw it in the trash, bad luck if you put it on another table. An apology would have been appropriate After an evening where we and several people waited at least 40 minutes for our drinks

The “homemade” iced tea consists only of water and ready-made syrup. After asking several times, an iced chocolate would have cost around €10. Not good service and poor value for money.

Simply very nice location… good quality in everything⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great breakfast☕️ Everything fresh, beautifully prepared and a sufficient selection👍.

We were skillfully ignored by the waitress. She went to the neighboring table several times to serve it, but she didn't serve us. Annoying.

Nice outdoor seating under the plane trees. Currently good afternoon offer.

Recently there have been more comfortable lamps there. They create a soft light in the interior

Great ambience, delicious food, good service.👍

Great place to stop and relax in between shopping. The drinks were refreshing, food was delicious and dessert was a light treat worth cherishing! I will definitely return!

Super. Had breakfast this morning. I didn't know there was a buffet. I asked if there was anything vegan and was given a great platter and vegan sausage. I'm really excited. Thank you very much 😊

Friendly staff, good breakfast.

After 10 minutes of waiting at the table right next to the stairs, we changed the restaurant 🤷 the employee passed us 5 times and didn't even glance at us.

Food was OK, but unfortunately the price performance doesn't match the quality of the dishes. Unfortunately I was very dissatisfied with the service, incorrect bill, long wait for drinks, glasses not full. It's nice to sit outside

Mineral water is served in a glass. In my opinion, this is not permitted under the Table and Mineral Water Ordinance. The waitress was asked about it, but of course didn't know anything. In the future I will drink my mineral water in another place where my mineral water is not served from a large bottle (the box for 3 EUR). Is this a case for the trade inspection office?

Super friendly service. Especially the woman with the wolf tattoo on her leg. Food is absolutely delicious. We recommend.

Unfortunately I didn't have a good experience. We waited 15 minutes until we could order our drinks, almost all of the drinks were filled below the calibration mark. Unfortunately, the food at our table didn't arrive at the same time; the last dish came when the rest of the table had already finished eating. Unfortunately, the calculation was also incorrect in the end; Overcharged for what wasn't ordered. Sorry, but service is good or bad, especially when the house is full

Sat in the beer garden for 10 minutes, completely unmotivated with the glasses, had nothing to do, looked at us a few times without serving us. Then I changed the restaurant. Unbelievable, keep it up 👍

The food is very good and the staff usually tries hard to serve the guests. Unfortunately, the ambience only has three stars: There are a lot of wasps in the outdoor area, which unfortunately don't invite you to linger for long.

The location is located directly at the fountain, in a cozy atmosphere. The service is attentive, friendly and accommodating. The waiting time until the dishes and drinks came to the table was short. (I think it's good for a lunch break) The taste of the food is excellent, the lunch menu in particular is extensive and worth mentioning in terms of price. The toilets are on the upper floor.

Friendly and delicious. Daily meal very inexpensive. Good products.

The quality and presentation of the food was very good! The service was also very courteous and friendly! Ambience very inviting and well decorated, the only drawback was the noise. Only recommended!

Lunch top price performance food was very good

On Saturdays there was a really great breakfast buffet, everything your heart could desire ❤️ and at the end there were pancakes with sugar and cinnamon

Breakfast was really good, but the price ratio was way too expensive, no coffee and no water, and no orange juice at the buffet. It costs 23.50 euros for a cup of coffee, way too much

Delicious food to sit outside in nice weather Nice service

Super delicious food. The employees are always friendly. Price/performance ratio is unbeatable.

Perfect! We were never attracted here before. Prices were simply too high for us and we went to the competition nearby. Since the new concept, we have been drawn here more and more often. We recently tried the lunch menu, a salad and a schnitzel Parmigiana. The prices are perfectly reasonable, most of the lunch dishes cost under €10. The service was extremely attentive and friendly, not intrusive. Ambience very nice, inside and out. Always happy to come back, great!

Ate there for Mother's Day. Great service, delicious food, whether pizza or schnitzel...delicious drinks...will definitely come back

The new breakfast is great, price performance is great, everything is fresh, I'm thrilled, the price is also great. Afternoon coffee and great cake 🎂 the price is also great. Overall, the new concept is great

Right in the middle with good restoration.

Great breakfast! Were there for the gourmet buffet.

Disappointed with the food, poor performance ratio. I can make frozen pizza at home for 15 euros, which is actually pretty cool.

Highly recommended in all respects.

Industrial flair lounge and a solid selection of food and drinks. 30 to 50 year olds are more likely to go out here if they are traveling without children. ;-) Pizza, pasta, tarte flambée - the selection is good and the dishes usually have a "special kick" that sets them apart from the run-of-the-mill dishes of other restaurants. The “Burning Man” pizza is also quite spicy. On some days it's quite crowded and noisy due to the all-you-can-eat clientele (make a reservation in advance). The toilets are on the coolly styled first floor, which makes it a bit difficult for people with walking difficulties or pregnant women. Otherwise everything is tip top.

Only recommended. Prices are perfect. Service perfect. Super friendly. Always my pleasure. A great team. Great and perfect owner team what they have achieved here.
