Monte Christo in Baden-Baden

Delicious food and a typical Spanish ambience - fast service. Recommendation you should make a reservation and be aware that you only have one time slot here. Unfortunately, sitting open-ended is not possible here due to the concept alone. The price is okay but still rather high prices. The only annoying thing is that you are not asked directly if you want the bread and olives - but you are charged. There is a sign but you should still be actively asked about it. And it was even billed twice even though the second time the condition said we could have two, they just put it down because it seemed to have been done too much. I assumed it would be free. It wasn't. Say it clearly here or ask questions!

Very cosy spot and lovely food! You would need to make a reservation since it’s relatively small.

Very nice place to dine on typical Spanish tapas and taste a wine. Pleasant music with a Spanish atmosphere. Very nice and close Ismets attention! We'll be back for sure!

Several Tapas options...the cook is a very friendly and skilled Cuban. I recommend

We visited this restaurant 3 times during our stay in Baden Baden. Once you go back for your second visit, you are like family and they take care of you. Since we need to eat gluten free, they are super careful to ensure everything you order is safe for you. On average, we ordered about 5 different tapas for the two of us to share. We tried a lot of them, and EVERY SINGLE DISH was fantastic! Also, if you haven't tried it before, order a glass of Rioja Blanca as it's a wonderful complement for pretty much anything you order.

Always a perfect culinary evening! You can simply order anything because everything tastes amazing 😍

We visited Monte Cristo for the first time today and it was really a very nice evening with lots of different and delicious tapas. We were greeted with fresh bread that was of truly exceptional quality. The restaurant itself is really not very big, which is why it feels very cozy and quickly creates a cozy atmosphere.

We got a table without a reservation, albeit in the cooler and slightly damp (rain) courtyard (completely covered with an awning). Thank you again for giving us this opportunity. Aperitif (rose spritzer) delicious and reasonable at €8.90. The tapas Caponata, Pincho del Pollo and Pollo al Sherry are very tasty - we find the price-performance ratio to be reasonable. The croquettes with ham alone weren't to our taste. The ambience in the indoor restaurant is very authentic and cozy - we recommend making a reservation. Service is very attentive and also very authentic, you quickly get in touch. The only thing we don't like is that bread with (some!) aioli is served without asking and is charged €3 per person. Yes, it's on the menu somewhere, but we feel it's very unusual and inappropriate for our restaurant culture. The restaurant management could think about this. Due to the good service and the authentic, delicious food, we would still recommend it and we would come back.

Excellent tapas bar with exceptional specialties. Very good, humorous service.

Excellent Spanish food, good price, all the waiters were very friendly and the place was very cozy.

Been there for the first time, but certainly not for the last... Everything was perfect, even the dog was pampered by the boss. Absolute experience gastronomy in the most positive sense

Urige Atmosphäre, netter Service, gute Weine und umfangreiche Speisenauswahl von hoher Qualität. Der beste Spanier seit langem.

nice staff, good prices and juicy food

Very great selection of tapas. It was super tasty and plentiful

Spanien in Baden-Baden. Ok mit kubanischer Musik… aber die Atmosphäre und das Essen! Einfach nur Wow! Die Portionen sind groß. Vier bis fünf Tapas für zwei Personen völlig ausreichend obwohl man am liebsten die Speisekarte rauf und runter Futtern möchte. Dazu eine herzliche Bedienung, die mit Spaß und Elan jeden zum Lachen bringt. Wir kommen sicher wieder.

It is very rare that you find such lovely, charming and amazing staff, food and atmosphere. We were met by huge smiles, laughs and great service. Food was authentic and honest. The wine simply amazing. No matter how good the food is the service is even greater. Thank you so much for giving us an unforgettable and amazing evening. We highly recommend this place and will definitely come again when visiting Baden-Baden. Love from Denmark ❤

Good atmosphere, service was also quite good for how busy they were. We were lucky to get a table and this place did not disappoint. I could not order everything on the menu, sadly, but what I got was amazing. The octopus (grilled I tried, next time I’ll get the other way they prepare it) was amazing

Had a super fun evening and delicious food! Service was top notch, hospitable, child friendly and likes a joke. Until next time!

We came in excited to dine and have a nice evening, unfortunately, the owner was so arrogant and rude and even made an offensive comment towards us.

Heerlijke tapas gegeten. Veel keuze. Super vriendelijke bediening. Om teleurstellingen te voorkomen, even vooraf reserveren. Aanrader!

Such a great atmosphere, even greater employees and the food is simply fantastic. We had a wonderful evening full of fun (also because of the waiters) and good food, thank you!

very good little restaurant with a nice selection of delicious tapas. See you soon UPDATE 8/3/24 I was here several times during my 3 weeks of vacation in Baden Baden. That's just 5* how the guest is treated here. Bebe de Cuba you are simply amazing 🫦 with your warm nature combined with your Cuban temperament 😉

Wonderful food you need to eat here but call ahead and make reservations. You will not leave unhappy. 2019 club del vino is excellent and the gammas ajillo king prawns in garlic are excellent. And the fresh bread is soooooo good but control yourself you need to save room for your food. No joke I can't stop eating it.

Very tasty food, quick clean and great ambience. Happy to come back :)

Very tasty food, quick clean and great ambience. Happy to come back :)

Das Monte Cristo besticht durch seinen begrünten und liebevoll dekorierten Gastraum, sowie sehr schnellen Service, auch bei vollem Haus. Die Speisekarte hält eine bunte Auswahl an spanischen Tapas bereit, die einem einen guten Eindruck von der spanischen Küche vermitteln - ich hätte mich über etwas mehr Gemüsegerichte gefreut... für das Gewissen. ;) Der Ziegenkäse mit Honig, die kleinen Cherrytomaten, der marinierte Hühnchenspieß und die patatas bravas waren köstlich. Vielen Dank für einen super Abend

Very tasty tapas and good wines.

We were lucky to get a table at short notice. Great food, friendly staff and nice atmosphere. We will be back if we can get a table. Booking advised to avoid disappointment.

It was super😻friendly. Food perfect. Come again. Congratulations ⚽ on the European Championship title. The Bauer family from Friday evening👍

Warm and smiling welcome, pleasant atmosphere, delicious cuisine, you'd think you were in Spain, pure pleasure!

It was just fun, delicious, authentic and uncomplicated.

What a great find. Recommended by a friend. Great friendly welcome, outstanding choice of tapas, and simply excellent quality. Can heartily recommend the patatas Bravas nice and spicy, the lamb shoulder was melt in the mouth delicious, avocado with goats cheese was creamy, chorizo in brandy was perfect to mop up juices. The Jamon Serrano was a perfect addition to the meal. Really recommend a visit. We'll be back for sure !

Wonderful welcome, delicious wine and succulent tapas. I recommend !!

We came without a reservation and were just lucky that there was a table available. Here people love what they do. You can feel it! We were pleasantly surprised with a good mood and little jokes despite the well-filled room. The portion size and their prices leave no room for discussion at all. Price/performance absolutely fine. And the bread... a dream!!!! You shouldn't forget where we are: Baden Baden. In any pizzeria we would have paid the same and probably gotten less. I found the ambience to be Spanish-charming :), authentic! For us, it's a recommendable restaurant that we'll definitely choose again when the Festspielhaus has something in store for us again. Thank you very much, keep it up!

The food is amazing, the atmosphere cozy, and the service outstanding. It’s always a treat when I visit Baden-Baden. I have never had anything I did not like. Highly recommend!

Super tasty food, nice service and a great ambience. Had a very nice evening.

Unfortunately we were greeted very unfriendly and arrogantly by the receptionist. The food was very good and the rest of the staff were very accommodating and nice, but the first negative impression that the receptionist was responsible for left a negative aftertaste, which is a shame!

Great restaurant deserves 5 stars ⭐️ For a minute, we walked in Love everything: food, ambiance, service. Nothing to complain about. Staffs is full of energy and love their job Food is delicious as you can get in Spain 🇪🇸 I totally go back for their excellent work. Recommend!!!

It's a shame, actually nice. But the food was pretty tasteless and you had to pay €50 per person for the doggy bag with a voucher...sorry, no way.

The food was great, the staff was very nice. But, oil is extracted in the Middle East, brought by ship to Europe, refined in huge factories to become gasoline, and finally delivered to gas stations by truck. For a liter of gasoline I pay 1.9 euros.,YOU CANNOT CHARGE 5 EUROS FOR A LITER OF FILTERED TAP WATER!!! (In a country where tap water is perfectly potable)

Thank you for a great meal, service and help with the problem with garlic, the impossible was made possible :) There is no better place to celebrate your wedding anniversary, we will definitely come back

A very good restaurant, super delicious food, highly recommended

Yesterday we had the pleasure of visiting the Tapas Bar Monte Christo in Baden-Baden with the family and we were simply thrilled. From the moment we entered the bar we felt transported to a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The ambience exudes a charming mix of Mediterranean flair and modern elegance, which immediately made you feel comfortable. The menu offered an impressive variety of tapas, all of which were delicious and prepared with great attention to detail. Every single dish was a culinary masterpiece that took us on a taste journey through Spain. Particularly noteworthy are the fresh ingredients and authentic flavors, which made each dish a special experience. But what really made our evening unforgettable was the warmth of the entire team. The Cuban waitress in particular enchanted us with her warm-hearted and attentive manner. Their loving care and radiant smiles made us feel like special guests. It is rare to receive such personal and warm care in a restaurant, and we would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts. The Tapas Bar Monte Christo has proven to be a place of joy and enjoyment. We can't wait to come back soon and discover more culinary highlights. A big thank you to the entire team for this wonderful evening! Monte Christo is undoubtedly a gem in Baden-Baden and worth recommending to anyone who appreciates good food and warm hospitality.

Great tapas, were very tasty - but €9.50 for 0.2 liters of wine is quite expensive - another €3 extra is charged for the bread and olives - but the ambience and service are worth it

This restaurant is highly recommended, very nice staff and the food is a dream, super tasty 😋 😋 highly recommended until next time

Amazing tapas, friendly and funny staff, really great food. Tha caponata is the best I have ever had, a must-try!

We were with Andreas and his team again last week. Just great! Good atmosphere, attentive and friendly service and great food. Definitely recommended - a small tapas tour and a glass or two of Erial - and the evening is perfect.

Exceptionally good service. A little more space was created especially for our group. The tapas are also highly recommended.

Sowohl das Ambiente als auch die Bedienung und natürlich die Speisen waren ausgezeichnet. Wir hatten einen schönen Abend, mit viel Abwechslung und tollem Wein.

Very tasty food. Nice atmosphere. Good service. Lovely ladies working there :) Ok prices

Great tapas! Nice service and nice atmosphere!

Sehr angenehmes Ambiente, freundlicher Empfang. Freundliches Personal, schnelle Bedienung angenehmer Aufenthalt es hat an nichts gefehlt.

Schon beim Betreten des Restaurants fühlt msn sich wie in Spanien. Dir Auswahl an Tapas ist groß, auch für Vegetarier fällt die Entscheidung schwer. Geschmacklich einfach nur Top ! Der Service ist sehr aufmerksam. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

1a tapas bar. Authentic, tasty, beautifully decorated. Each of the tapas we ordered was simply great.

Really cute little restaurant, the food was very tasty and the owners were super nice, you'll be happy to come back

Super leckere Tapas, tolle Auswahl und sehr schöne Weine. Dazu eine herzliche Atmosphäre und eine schöne, landestypische Einrichtung. Man fühlt sich wie im Urlaub in Spanien :)

Best tapas far and wide! A bit expensive, but absolutely recommended - we'll be back!

Beautiful restaurant with a great atmosphere. Great service and authentic. Despite being full, we were able to get a place for two people. The tapas are terrific, super tasty and prepared very quickly. We would be happy to come back, I look forward to the next visit

I was in this great restaurant for the first time last night. It was an experience. Great food, very friendly staff, and a really great atmosphere. It's definitely not the last time I've been with you 👍

What a great discovery! I had the pleasure of visiting the Tapas Bar and was completely impressed. The ambience is charming and inviting, perfect for a cozy evening with friends or a romantic date. The selection of tapas is impressive and every pot was a taste experience for us. From classic favorites to innovative creations, there's something to suit every taste. The rose wine spritzer in particular is highly recommended. However, what really stands out are the people who work here. The staff is incredibly friendly, attentive, funny and professional. I had to leave my glasses behind during my visit and the team were more than helpful. They took care of it immediately and sent me my glasses, thank you very much for that.. Overall, I can highly recommend this tapas bar. A perfect combination of exquisite food, warm hospitality and first-class service. I will definitely come back. Many thanks to the entire team

Super tasty Spanish tapas and a really friendly team!! You really feel very comfortable and the atmosphere is super cozy and atmospheric. We'll definitely be happy to come back!

Always beautiful. Delicious food and great service

We have been guests at Monte Cristo several times. The tapas, whether vegetarian, with fish or meat, and also our dessert (chocolate cake) were incredibly delicious! In addition, there are always selected, really good wines! The employees are always warm and professional. An absolute recommendation for anyone who wants to spend a great evening in Baden Baden in a Spanish atmosphere :)

Very tasty, even if it was a bit too greasy for us. Not suitable for wheelchair users or strollers. The selection is great as is the atmosphere.

Dear monte christo team, We would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for a wonderful evening last Saturday!!! It was a pleasure for us to experience this sensational hospitality. 6 stars in every area. Please keep it up! Best regards

Fast service, copious and good dishes, pleasant atmosphere. But exaggerated prices!

Were there today, had a very good evening there, upstairs in the wine bar. Service was absolutely great, you'll fall in love with it. I would recommend it at any time, greetings from Bavaria

Nice location, super quick food that was very, very tasty! The employees were very courteous and flexible.

Great wines, very cozy and delicious food

Very tasty and high quality food! Absolutely worth a visit…

Best tapas bar I've ever been to! Absolutely the best service ever! We felt really comfortable!

This restaurant is simply world class! We come every Christmas to have our Christmas party. The service is always great, the food is always great, the atmosphere is always great. Despite everything being occupied, there are hardly any waiting times. A family and casual atmosphere. oxen. and risotto are our favorite tapas😃we would love to come back!

We “only” got a table at the Monte Chritsto wine bar, but we had such a wonderful evening at Ismet. The food and the red wine were very tasty and really worth the price. Thank you for the lovely evening!

Very cosy and warm Spanish bar-restaurant

Ein tolles Restaurant, in dem man wirklich ausgezeichnet essen gehen kann. Wir sind zum dritten Mal hier und es ist ausgesprochen lecker, wenngleich nicht ganz günstig. Ambiente ist top und sehr nettes Personal.

Ich schreibe selten bis nie Bewertungen, nach dem gestrigen Abend möchte ich es aber doch mal tun. Das Monte Christo kenne ich schon länger, wurde mir durch einen Geschäftspartner empfohlen. Da wir einen Abend in BB planten, lag es nahe wieder ins MC zu gehen. Gesagt, getan, reserviert… von Anfang an für die Freundlichkeit und Kundennähe eine 10 von 10! Wir schafften es leider nicht zur gebuchten Zeit, Anruf, wieder unkompliziert… Danke! Das Dinner begann entspannt und endete mehr als satt, zufrieden und sicher das wir wieder kommen. Wer Tapas liebt, gute Bedienung zu schätzen weiß und bereit ist sich treiben zu lassen…. Das Monte Christo ist eine absolute Empfehlung und bekommt in allen möglichen Kategorien VOLLE PUNKTZAHL. Geheimtipp: Rotweinrisotto

Amazing food and staff !! Can't wait To come back

Très bon restaurant à Tapas. Je recommande.

Preis Leistung leider nicht gut. Der Rest passt.

We called in here for dinner one evening, they very kindly managed to fit us in. The wine was superb (Toro), and excellent Tapas, i would recommend the oxtail and the Aubergine dishes. service was excellent and friendly. We enjoyed our experience so much that we went back the following evening!

Mooie ambiance en gezellig en professionele bediening met heerlijke tapas. Gegarandeerd een mooie avond

Wir hatten einen tollen Abend mit gutem Wein und köstlichen Tapas im Monte Christo. Der Service war sehr nett und aufmerksam. Die Auswahl an Tapas ist groß. Wir konnten uns kaum entscheiden. Nächstes Mal reservieren wir, hatten Glück noch einen Tisch zu bekommen.

Sehr schöne, gemütliche Tapas-Bar in zentraler Lage von Baden-Baden - mit Sicherheit eine der Besten in der Umgebung. Der Chef ist zwar kein Spanier und auch wirklich nicht der geborene Conférencier (sondern eher der Typ "Buchhalter"), aber seine Servicemitarbeiter sind aufmerksam und sympathisch. Die Tapas sind durchweg ganz gut, natürlich hat in dieser Lage von Baden-Baden alles seinen Preis - aber für einen netten Abend eine Empfehlung. Es ist unbedingt ratsam, zu reservieren. Parkplätze direkt beim Restaurant sind schwierig zu finden, man sollte daher etwas Fußweg einplanen.

Wir hatten einen Tisch für 5 Personen reserviert kurzfristig mussten 2 Personen wegen eines Totenfalls absagen. War ein Riesendrama. Man machte uns Vorwürfe vorher nicht informiert zu haben. Beim nächsten Mal werden wir dies versuchen........... Essen wie immer gut, Etwas befremdlich auch zu Beginn Brot mit Oliven 3 Eur/Person egal ob man Oliven isst oder nicht. Waren immer gerne dort Essen, zukünftig werden wir wohl darauf verzichten

Мы заказывали стол на 19:00, после того как принесли еду нам сказали, что в 20:00 мы должны освободить стол, потому что у них столы с 18-20:00 и с 20:00-22:00. Мы ушли и больше туда не возвращаемся. На входе был сам учредитель ресторана который не предложил ни скидку ни десерт за сложившуюся ситуацию. Так что, нет не советую. Еда была неплохо, столы очень близко, так что решать вам.

Leckere vegetarische Tapas, der Rioja war wunderbar. Liebes Personal und schöne Location im Keller. Klare Empfehlung.

Ein wahres Schätzchen der Gastronomie. Wir waren zum ersten Mal im Monte Christo und sind hell auf begeistert. "Das Monte Christo ist ein wahres Juwel unter den spanischen Lokalen. Die Auswahl an Tapas ist ebenso beeindruckend wie die herzliche Gastfreundschaft des Personals. Jeder Besuch im Monte Christo ist eine kulinarische Reise, die man nicht verpassen sollte!"

Amazing! Best sweet potato fries ever

Parfait ! Je n’ai rien à redire ! L’endroit est très chaleureux, le service extrêmement aimable et souriant ! La nourriture est excellente ! Nous avons pris 4 tapas, et un coup de cœur pour l’Aquacate gratinado con queso de cabra (avocat chaud avec du chèvre chaud), les caponata (aubergines cuisinées au four) et le calamar à la plancha (attention au « petit poivron jaune » qui est en fait un piment 🥵😊).

Came here late after terma visit and we were blown away with food, service and atmosphere. Amazing tapas plates and must try veal cheeks and ox tail stew.

Fantastisches Restaurant. Tolle Atmosphäre, sehr leckeres Essen und wahnsinnig herzliches, zuvorkommendes Personal. Man spürt, dass sie ihren Job wirklich gerne machen. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und können es nur weiterempfehlen :) Gracias

Schönes Lokal, netter Service und tolles Essen, waren 4 Personen und alle begeistert! Gerne wieder 🤩

Authentisch, sehr freundlich, sämtliche Speisen hervorragend, Wein sehr gut. Der beste Spanier, den ich kenne.

Sehr nettes zuvorkommendes Personal

Tolle Atmosphäre, essen war Toll und der Service war super. Unser Lieblingsrestaurant in Baden Baden!

Tolles Ambiente und wunderbarer Service

Super süße Tapas Bar. Nettes Personal, tolles Ambiente. Alles sehr lecker!

Süße Location mit top Service. Das Essen war lecker, die Getränke sehr teuer - 12,90 Euro für ein Glas 0,2 Wein ist ein Wort. Außerdem finde ich es Grenzwertig 3,00 Euro pro Person für Brot & Oliven zu verlangen die man nicht selbstverständlich bestellt. - Man sollte vorher reservieren.

Konzept "etwas auf den Tisch zu stellen ohne dass es bestellt wurde" finde ich etwas grenzwertig. Dennoch ist das Essen sehr lecker & heiß 😋 Service TOP! Es empfiehlt sich vorab zu reservieren.

Essen und Ambiente waren Ok. Das Essen war aber nicht gut gewürzt bzw. abgestimmt. Riesenportion Aioli m. 3 kl. Scheiben Baguette? Ziegenfrischkäse der in Feigensenf ertrinkt (bitte getrennt reichen)? Hühnchen-Spiess m. Vielen Fleischbrocken, aber trocken und kaum gewürzt. Der Service war superfreundlich und es ist sehr gemütlich.
