Oben Restaurant in Heidelberg

For me, the above is one of the most beautiful places in Heidelberg. I love coming back here again and again – not just for the great food, but also for the very special atmosphere. It's quiet, relaxed, and somehow unwinding. Robert, Philipp, and Leis make the experience perfect – with their warm, unfussy manner, they create a truly comfortable atmosphere. You immediately notice the passion and sensitivity that goes into this. The menus are a delight every time: creative, balanced, and simply really well-made. For me, it's a place to enjoy and unwind.

We were at OBEN with friends yesterday, and it was an absolutely perfect evening. The ambiance is dreamy, very cozy and peaceful. The service was extremely friendly at all times and contributed to a wonderfully relaxed evening. The menu was varied and well-balanced to my taste. All in all, it couldn't have been better. We'll definitely try to come back. Keep up the good work!

A very special evening at oben in Heidelberg. There were four of us, and we were thrilled from the very first moment. Chef Robert Rädel not only enchanted us with his culinary delights, but also gave us a glimpse behind the scenes – right next to the open kitchen, we were able to witness how the works of art are created on the plate. The menus were creative, precise, and full of flavors that harmonized perfectly with the matching wines. A place with character, passion, and high standards – we'll definitely be back!

Everything was just right; it was a fantastic evening. You can feel the passion in every detail. Superbly creative and an absolute delight in terms of taste, it's hard to pick a favorite. The team, totally professional yet calm and relaxed, truly impressed us. Thank you for a special experience; we will be happy to return.

Just had an amazing meal at Oben! I am visiting Heidelberg for the summer and had tried unsuccessfully to get a table. A spot opened up on the waitlist for a day I couldn't actually attend, but Robert was very accommodating and communicative and got me a table the very next week. The food was delicious, and they were able to make a pescatarian version on short notice for my friend. My favorite was the charred cabbage with eel! The wine pairings were also quite noteworthy, my favorite being a Georg Lingenfelder Silvaner. Would love to go back :)

The Upstairs is UPstairs! It's right at the top of my list of "where would I always go if I wanted to experience a perfect evening." Yesterday we were there for the second time - and certainly not the last. Perfect service, warm, authentic, and funny. With great recommendations and good conversations. A wine cellar where you can wander in, choose, and be inspired. A kitchen with dishes where you enjoy trying everything - and even find things sooooo delicious that you wouldn't otherwise eat voluntarily (just saying, eel ;) ) A great team - every single one does an outstanding job! You feel welcome from the very first second - and go home blissfully full, happy, and impressed. Upstairs? Again and again and again....

We are absolutely thrilled with our evening at the upstairs restaurant! From the ambiance to the professional yet incredibly friendly service to the outstanding and varied menu, everything is just perfect. There are also first-class (sparkling) wines from the region that are truly enjoyable – as well as a great non-alcoholic accompaniment (we tried both) that perfectly complement the meal. I've had the pleasure of dining at the upstairs restaurant several times now, and my high expectations have been exceeded each time. It's impressive how Robert and his team continually manage to develop the dishes and surprise with new creations. Last but not least, the excellent collaboration between Robert, Philipp, and Leis is simply unbelievably pleasant. Thank you so much for the unforgettable evening!

I've been coming here regularly for years and have always been thrilled by the amazing creations Robert and his colleagues conjure up and the outstanding service. See you soon!

The combinations tasted excellent, and the wine pairings were perfectly matched. We had a truly wonderful evening! The time flew by - we felt so comfortable with you! You were outstanding hosts. Thank you so much for this wonderful experience; we will certainly remember it with happiness for a long time to come.

This is our second time at oben and we're still thrilled. Thanks to the beautiful weather, we were also able to enjoy the beautiful garden. The menu and wines are perfectly matched, and we were once again amazed at how sensational seemingly simple foods like cabbage can taste. The service, the warmth, and the family atmosphere are also particularly noteworthy. It's truly a very special experience, and we'd love to come back!

It was an experience for both the palate and the soul, thank you very much

Top! The non-alcoholic drinks, in particular, are wonderful!

Fantastic restaurant, I've been there twice and have never been disappointed! The last time was in December 2023, and Mona was still there 😊 I'll have to make a reservation again! Best wishes to the team ♥️

We felt very welcome and enjoyed the beautiful summer evening with very attentive service and wonderfully coordinated delicacies. A visit to the wine cellar and kitchen rounded off our culinary experience. The wine pairing was excellent; we'll definitely be back. Thank you very much.

oben is(s)t: Creative place for enjoyment Source of inspiration Pure art of living

Thank you so much for this wonderful evening with you three such lovely, creative, and talented men. I was thrilled, touched, and enchanted. Exciting. Comfortable. Entertaining. New. Delicious.

We were incredibly blown away by the food, the atmosphere, the team, and simply everything at Oben! Absolutely recommend it! Thank you for the fantastic evening!

It's heavenly up there... Even the reception with personalized menus gives you the feeling of a warm welcome. The table in the small but beautiful garden was lovingly prepared, without any unnecessary frills. Surrounded by lavender, we were able to concentrate entirely on the menu, which words simply cannot describe. Each course was a feast for the eyes and an explosion of flavor in the mouth. Creative, imaginative, and expertly prepared delicacies that linger long afterward. What impressed me most were the combinations of the various ingredients. Who would think of combining five different beans with mushrooms and porcini mushroom powder with red currants? (My secret favorite of the evening, but I can't and won't commit to it in retrospect :) The entire menu was simply unique. Not to mention the fantastic wine pairing, which certainly required a lot of preparation from Leis. Also worth mentioning is the attentive, unobtrusive service of the two chefs, who personally served and explained each dish. Several times during this wonderful evening, I was simply speechless with excitement, and as I write these lines, I realize: even now, I can't really put into words how special this evening at Oben was.

The cuisine, location, service, and hospitality are all top-notch—wow, we had an incredibly wonderful evening. The chef's table experience was also fantastic. Worth every cent.

Das Oben - a place of tranquility and culinary delights. Das Oben is one of my absolute favorite restaurants. Everything is just right here. The wonderful and unique natural menu with regional ingredients and refined flavors is simply delicious; you won't know afterwards what tasted best. Visiting the kitchen and wine cellar is fantastic, as is the conversation with Robert Rädel and his team. Last but not least, the sommelier is inspiring, and not to forget the beautiful ambiance in and around the Kohlhof. Hopefully, we'll be able to enjoy it again soon.

Dear OBEN Team, Thank you so much for allowing us to be your guests on June 6, 2025. The 13-course menu was absolutely amazing, one could say sensational. The cuisine, service, and ambiance were all top-notch—my wife and I offer our highest compliments. A cozy living room atmosphere and the feeling of dining casually and relaxed with friends—where else can you experience that these days?! My Christmas present for my wife was a perfect fit.💪 If you're looking for something truly special and exclusive, you should treat yourself to a visit to OBEN. I highly recommend the three guys from Kohlhof, who rocked the evening perfectly and gave us a truly amazing experience.👍 We'll be back.😀 Best regards, Frank + Kirsten

Oben is a very beautiful restaurant in a very idyllic location. The atmosphere is very pleasant, and the food is indescribably good. Each course has sophisticated and delicious specialties. We felt very comfortable there and had a wonderful evening. Many thanks to the entire team.

We failed the capricious registration process above. Now we're going to Raro, where the service is very uncomplicated and the food is sensational.

Simply outstanding, simply unique

The restaurant "above" and its protagonists – that means veritable art, and above all, the creators themselves. A (?) experience of a truly special kind. One culinary highlight after another, without overtaxing the senses and always "casually" ready to inspire enthusiasm. The kitchen and service are a congenial team – with "Bravo," "Wow," and "Chapeau," the guest shows respect and admiration. The not entirely senseless saying applies: if it says "above," it's (way) "above" inside...

The best experience, food, and wine pairing ever. An evening I'll treasure forever. Thank you so much! Keep up the good work!

We were very positively surprised by the living room atmosphere, the really personal service and the creative dishes and details, such as changing the table to the kitchen! For us one of the best restaurant evenings in recent years! We can only advise every friend of upscale restaurants in the Heidelberg region to take the 6 month wait between reservation and restaurant visit - it's really worth it!

We had an unforgettable evening – with delicious food, a wonderful atmosphere, and wonderful service – a place where you feel completely at home and an evening that will be remembered as a museum evening. Many thanks to the team at Oben – everyone contributes in their own way to making guests feel at home and welcome!

We had a wonderful evening with lovely people, fantastic hosts, creative and incredibly delicious cuisine in a wonderful setting ❤️ Upstairs is when you eat UPstairs.

Durch einen glücklichen Zufall, ja so etwas gibt es, kamen wir in den Genuß einen Tisch im berühmeten "OBEN" zu bekommen. Wir waren die ersten Gäste die vom überaus freundlichen Restaurantleiter Leis Büttner begrüßt wurden. Er stimmte uns auch auf den Abend ein indem er Aperitif und Speisekarte anbot. Das Ambiente, mit Blick in die offene Küche, traf unseren Geschmack. Ebenso der empfohlene Winzersekt. Kurz darauf ging es auch schon mit den ersten kulinarischen Highlights los. Diese wurden von Philipp Kloos auf dem Tisch platziert und präsentiert. Mich hat insbesondere das Senfei mit sieben Kräutern beeindruckt. Sehr sehr lecker !!! Die nächste Köstlichkeit wurde von Robert Rädel präsentiert. Auch diese, ausgezeichnet. Für den dritten Gang durften wir Richtung Küche gehen. Dort, auf kleinen Hockern, ähnlich denen der Streetfood Shops in Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar, Malaysia, Singapore, nahmen wir Platz und bekamen Brokkoli, Buchweizen, Zitrus, Magniolie. Gewagte aber passende und leckere Kombination. Auch die Weinbegleitung war für meinen Geschmack sehr gut. So kam Gang auf Gang bis das süße Finale den kulinarischen Abend beschloss. Fazit: Sowohl vom Ambiente als auch vom kulinarischen Genuß. Absolut empfehlenswert. Nicht zu vergessen die herzliche und angenehme Art und Weise wie die drei Gastgeber mit den Gästen umgehen. Super !!! Vielen Dank dass wir Eure Gäste seine durften. Wir versuchen erneut einen Tisch zu ergattern. Vielleicht haben wir ja erneut Glück (:-)).

Individually designed, different and extraordinary

Hospitality at the highest level. As soon as you enter the dining room, an unforgettable evening begins. The warmth with which you are accompanied throughout the evening is second to none. The dishes impress with their creativity and regional products. Thank you for the wonderful evening.

The above surpassed everything! Incredible food, atmosphere & service – star cuisine next level! Big thanks to the chef at the stove and the sommelier – absolute masterpiece!

My wife and I had the pleasure of dining here last summer and to this day, we still recall the delicious food and unique experience we had that day. Whether it is the excellent conception, the creative presentation of the dishes, the diversity of ingredients, the endless cooking methods and superb techniques, it is all amazing, giving us surprises one after another. The location and atmosphere is great as well. If I have to nitpick, it would be the difficulty of getting a reservation because it is extemely popular!

In short: hang in there, the wait is worth it!! Unique concept with an incredible feel-good atmosphere. An evening (experience) full of highlights! Starting with the drive to the restaurant, the reception, the extraordinary wine cellar and the indescribable atmosphere. All you can say about the food is: wow! Insanely creative cuisine from Robert and Philipp, where every single course is something very special. Accompanied by the perfect wine selection from Leis. Rarely have we experienced such attention to detail and such a relaxed and almost familiar atmosphere at this level - in our opinion, this is exactly what makes the OBEN an absolutely unique and incomparable concept. We'll be sitting in front of the laptop again soon and trying to get a table - we'll definitely be back! 😊 Absolutely clear recommendation!

It was a magical evening! Great food, great service and a super nice atmosphere. We particularly liked the walk in the kitchen. We'd love to come back!

What will we remember from our visit? That with complete calm and prudence a creative meal can be created in a spectacular setting that is unparalleled in Germany. The places are rare, so as Heidelbergers it took us two attempts and 3 years to visit TOP...we would do that again! A meal to remember!

Great evening! Perfect ambience, great food and a great team! We'd love to come back!

A very outstanding overall experience - sensational

Food, hosts, creativity, location - pure experience at the highest level. We would be happy to come back and thank you for the delicious evening.

It couldn't be better - the mix of fantastic and well thought-out food compositions, special atmosphere and first-class service is unparalleled.

ABOVE. If you want to experience something very special, I recommend a visit to Robert Rädel, head chef at OBEN in Heidelberg. At OBEN you can experience customer care par excellence. Personal communication from the first contact, honest and authentic hospitality, all of this immediately gives you a feeling of warmth and welcome. As is so often the case, it's the little details that make the difference: personalized menu cards, the kitchen team serves the courses themselves and explains what's on the artfully arranged plate: taste explosions! You eat a course directly in the kitchen. A great experience. Paired with perfectly matched wine. You will receive a handwritten greeting with your invoice - yes, it is these inconspicuous and yet such great gestures that show you appreciation. Cooking at a star level and in this small team only works if everyone participates equally and enjoys what they do. You can feel that here. Wonderfully refreshing, this positive togetherness and this enthusiasm. Thank you, Robert & team, for an unforgettable Friday evening ABOVE - the name says it all!

It is always an absolute highlight...culinary, human and in a very relaxed and pleasant atmosphere...absolutely top class!

The attention to detail is impressive! Above, on the plate and around the plate. The concept, the location, the design, the team and, last but not least, the incredible culinary delights - everything is just right. Genius Loci. We had an indescribably beautiful evening that we enjoyed with all our senses! Thank you very much for that and see you soon!

Thank you very much for this wonderful evening! It was a culinary journey and a really great experience. We highly recommend treating yourself to an evening in the restaurant above. We'll definitely be happy to come again. :-)

Together with colleagues from US and China, we had (once again) an A+ dining experience and left after almost 5 hours happy and w/ a big smile. Thank you to Robert and his team.

OMG!!!!! It was an incredible dinner!! Really and honestly touched by the food, the chef, the sous chef and sommelier. Everything was explained and presented so beautifully. You notice and feel the love and passion in every detail. Don't give up if you're on the waiting list. Dreams come true 😉. Thanks!

Robert, Philipp and Leis are a great team who exude joy in what they do. You quickly feel like you are staying with friends: the atmosphere is relaxed and cozy, the communication is open-minded and individual. The special location high up in nature and the rustic, cozy dining room immediately relax you and the evening can begin with an aperitif. You can choose between a wine accompaniment and an excellent and creative non-alcoholic accompaniment, which I chose. Deviations are handled flexibly; Upon request, Leis recommended a glass of Chardonnay with the trout. The winter menu has some vegetarian highlights, three regional fish (smoke eel / Lake Constance, trout / Odenwald, pike / Rhine), as well as duck and of course the "signature dish" - the pork wedel. Robert's style makes it clear from the region's products and deliberately few components what it's all about: authenticity of the ingredients and craftsmanship in order to present the taste as it is in the product. Sustainability is lived here in the best sense. My personal highlights were the baked celery with the sauce, which delivers an impressive intensity with celery ferment. - I would go upstairs just for this dish. The fried broccoli on a stem puree also makes it clear that Robert could certainly offer a completely vegetarian menu at this level. For me, the inconspicuous star of the stick bread was the milk ice cream, which was flavored with currant bush. Subtle and just as if you can taste the smell of the berries. The “caramel / fig / lye” tartlet is so good that you would have liked to try several of them with your final coffee. Of course, the pork fronds with the “end” of pork, Boskop apple and chives also make a strong appearance. The courage to stage a rather forgotten piece with very simple but perfectly complementary ingredients was definitely worth it. Salmon trout and duck were also wonderful winter dishes that activated the last Christmas feelings again in March. The staging is refreshing because it is elegant where it gives the dishes lightness, but at the same time down-to-earth when that corresponds to the background and the down-to-earth nature of the ingredients. Overall, you always have the feeling that what is cooked and said is honest and open-hearted. The trip to the kitchen and mutually interested exchanges naturally made the evening something very special. I'll be back. PS: Thanks for the requested song at the end. :)

I was able to visit this unusual restaurant high above the meadows of Heidelberg with a friend at the end of February... I can recommend that anyone who values ​​creative cuisine in a cozy atmosphere with excellent service and warm hospitality pay a visit to the great team... in the combination of their respective professionalism they manage to create an unforgettable evening. It wasn't the last time we were here - thank you very much

Thank you very much for the wonderful evening. It was an inspiring and enriching experience to be pampered by you.

Our favourite restaurant in the region, very relaxed and friendly with delicious food.

It was an unforgettable evening, 7 course menu, that's great experience gastronomy!!!! 100% recommended

Everything is just right in the restaurant above! You already have a great experience when you enter the property. The house, the courtyard and the surrounding area create an incredibly beautiful ambience that makes you want to immerse yourself deeper. After we were greeted very friendly and the jackets found their place in the cloakroom, we were led to a very large and comfortable table. From the designer chairs to the lighting, there is simply nothing to complain about and you almost feel like you are in your own living room. Since there are not many tables in the restaurant, the noise level is also very pleasant and you feel very private. The service from Robert, Philipp and Leis was simply breathtaking. Not intrusive, but always on point. This started before the first course and ended with the team calling us a taxi (as the wine was just too tasty to use the car). We felt 100% comfortable and loved having the individual courses and the vision behind them explained in detail. Now I come to the most important part of this review: The food is fantastic. Combinations are presented that the palate is not used to, but which always surprise positively. In addition, these are prepared at the highest level. It should also be mentioned here that the food used is all regional and that a lot of food is collected by the team in the Heidelberg area. We decided on the wine accompaniment to the menu and I can also recommend this without reservation. The team above has put a lot of effort into finding German wines that go perfectly with the individual courses and surprise you almost as much as the dishes themselves. I would like to give the above 10 out of 5 stars. You can tell that there is a lot of love and creativity in this restaurant. This will e.g. This is evident from the fact that every now and then you move to a small table in the kitchen to eat a course and chat with the team. We will definitely come back! Keep it up!

simply awesome in every respect

It was a perfect evening. From the reception to the farewell, everything was really top notch. We felt very welcome and had an unforgettable evening. The menu is to die for. Creative variations, perfectly tailored to the individual components and the wine accompaniment also harmonizes perfectly with the food. Super friendly, open, approachable and the passion for good food and wine is absolutely noticeable. And also big praise for the taste in music. We will definitely come back and recommend it wholeheartedly. Thank you very much for the great evening!

We were once again completely impressed by the menu from last Saturday. Above all, the casual atmosphere, the living room feeling, immediately makes you feel at home. All topped off by the excellent background music playlist. Greetings Matthias

Wow! From the service to the food to the ambience, we are now fans of the Above!

Like an evening among friends - warmly welcomed, attentively looked after and surprised with fantastic food. It was a great experience - for all senses!

A magical place for anyone who loves excellent food, great atmosphere and incredibly friendly service. The “above” is really something special.

Visit in December 2024, Simply outstanding from the first to the last minute. Leis is a great sommelier who consciously selects perfect pairings and is always attentive and courteous in service. Thank you also for the quality tour of the wine cellar! The menu is an absolutely perfect symbiosis, super intense in terms of taste and very varied. It's just wonderful to see what Philipp and Robert conjure up from just a few, perfectly selected ingredients! The venison main course, from the presentation with the smoking pine cone to the last tender piece of meat, was the best star course I have eaten this year! Chapeau... And the idea of ​​the Chef's Table, especially how you implement it, simply can't be topped! To be able to talk to you personally and authentically and to watch you do your brilliant craft, thank you very much for this opportunity! You not only suggest a living room atmosphere but also create it naturally from the first minute! Personal, authentic, at the highest level and always friendly and accommodating... Please keep it up...

We had been looking forward to this evening for a long time and we were more than thrilled. Thank you for this special hospitality and the fantastic culinary discoveries. The wine accompaniment is absolutely recommended. Leis composes the most suitable droplets for Robert and Philpp's cuisine and makes sure that the guest's glass doesn't get empty so quickly. An experience.

Anything less than “great” would be an understatement! For me it's currently the best 1 star in Germany. Great atmosphere, great food and extremely nice team... Now we understand the hype...

Creativity at the highest level with great regional products. Relaxed warm atmosphere. Any time !!

A sensational culinary experience in a tasteful, homely atmosphere is guaranteed at Oben! You feel like you've been taken on a journey that captivates all your senses and you can't stop dreaming for days afterwards. Thank you very much for that and see you next time!

A thoroughly successful evening with fantastic food and my loved one by my side. Many many thanks to the team

The welcome card that is initially on the table says that the restaurant team wants to give the guests an unforgettable evening. They're stacked deep.

An absolutely recommended restaurant for special occasions. Everything just fits. Starting with the ambience, the culinary masterpiece and the authentic, warm-hearted service.

What can you say, it couldn't be better in every respect.

Staying at the “Up” was magical. The atmosphere is so wonderful up there. The service is familiar, personal and very approachable. I gave VIP coaching and couldn't have asked for any other location. We were in seventh culinary heaven. We received it in abundance and I had goosebumps from the different dishes and wines. I haven't been so moved by the food, the wine and this great team that meets you at eye level and creates an atmosphere in which you feel at home. Thanks for that! Great experience! I can only recommend it.

At the top you can experience a unique journey through impressive worlds of taste and culinary delights. The compositions are surprising and varied, they are completed by the perfect accompaniment, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. Robert, Philipp and Leis create a real feel-good living room atmosphere with their friendly and friendly nature. The three of them pay great attention to special features, and so a pregnancy-friendly menu was created especially for me. Absolute recommendation, we will be back.

It was once again a sensational evening at the OBEN. The atmosphere, but especially Robert, Philipp & Leis, put a grin on our faces that remained there for days afterwards. Thank you very much for that - we look forward to the next time!

The restaurant is attractively furnished, with many details that create a pleasant and relaxed ambience. The dishes appear to be handcrafted with precision and, in terms of their regional orientation, have a noticeable signature of their own. Nevertheless, the compositions and flavor profiles rarely seem surprising and fade comparatively quickly. The reduced team size ultimately remains noticeable in the specified processes and the balance of the menu sequence. Individual courses seem to shine with their depth and density of flavors, others, especially in the patisserie area, seem to fall noticeably behind and ultimately completely disappoint at the end of the menu. In my subjective opinion, I find the service to be too impersonal. In the area of ​​top gastronomy, in which this establishment is located, I would expect that the role of host in the service would be filled with life through more presence and individuality. The error-free announcement of the components and the wines served, without any noticeable enthusiasm as to why that particular wine, winemaker or expansion was chosen, remain inadequate in comparison. I have already had the opportunity to dine in several similar establishments and have learned that appropriate service can have a significant impact on an evening. Nevertheless, thank you very much for the experience.

We had an unforgettable evening. The dishes are creative and well thought out and of course taste fantastic. We were warmly welcomed and felt comfortable throughout with the friendly team. A highlight was that we were allowed to sit in the kitchen for two courses and watch them being prepared. The service left nothing to be desired and the dishes and wines were always explained in detail, which made the menu even more enjoyable. We will definitely come back.

A wonderful evening, a great experience - worth it in every way

I'm upstairs twice every year. Once with my mother, once with my wife. It's just wonderful. Every detail is right - and comes together to form a wonderful whole. The above is clearly part of top gastronomy, and at the same time very special. You immediately feel “at home” upstairs. It's like being invited to dinner with good friends who know you, want to get to know you better and make sure you feel comfortable. I come every time with great anticipation, enjoy the evening, and then am immediately full of anticipation for the next year. Thanks alot.

Six of us were at “Oben” and had a fantastic evening that we will remember for a long time. Everything just worked! The 13-course menu was a real highlight. Each course was composed with great care and attention to detail - tasted to the point and beautifully presented. The wine accompaniment is also highly recommended: every glass was perfectly matched to the dishes and complemented the menu wonderfully. What's particularly noteworthy is the team's flexibility and hospitality: two of us can't eat pork, so they were served fantastic vegetarian alternatives that were in no way inferior. The fundamentally very personal touch and the focus on the needs of the guests make the “Oben” really special. The location itself also contributes to the experience. The interior is a successful mix of rustic charm and modern design, with great attention to detail - a place where you immediately feel at home. And although the cuisine is of a really high standard, the atmosphere is pleasantly relaxed. This is mainly due to the great team. In short: The “Oben” is a place where hospitality, creativity and enjoyment come together perfectly. We would like to thank Robert and his team for this unforgettable evening and can recommend the restaurant without reservation. We'll definitely be back (if we get a table again)!

The visit to the top thrilled all 6 of us! The family atmosphere combined with fantastic service as well as the excellently seasoned dishes and the very appealing philosophy regarding the selection of ingredients contributed to this. We will remember this great evening for a long time and will definitely come back, thank you very much!

Great food, great service, perfect experience!

Es war wieder einmal ein sensationeller Abend bei Robert, Philipp und Leis im „Oben“. Dreizehn phantastische Kombinationen mit hervorragenden Produkten aus der Region zubereitet, die nichtalkoholische Getränkebegleitung sucht ihres gleichen. Leis im Service macht einen hervorragenden Job und war immer unaufdringlich präsent und locker. Robert und Philipp in der Küche über die Schulter sehen zu können ist immer wieder ein besonderes Erlebnis und der „Schweinewedel“ darf natürlich auch nicht fehlen. Es war ein wunderschöner entspannter Abend mit netten Gesprächen und wir freuen uns sehr euch nächstes Jahr wieder besuchen zu dürfen. Tausend Dank an euch dreien.

A relaxed evening with a perfect composition of unique dishes.

Very impressive and fascinating. You can tell that the work here is done with love.

The above is special, the quality of the food and the creativity of the chefs is incomparable. Unfortunately, I still have to say that I liked the service better on my last visit. The new host seemed a bit hectic and abrupt. Philipp took more time to explain the preparation and answer questions. Here you can tell that the chefs not only stand by their product, but are proud of it. I think it's a shame that I found plastic wrap from the preparation in one of my aisles. Now you can say that something like that can happen, but it shouldn't happen in a restaurant of this caliber. The incident was dismissed by the team with a simple “Oh, sorry,” because I would have expected more, especially in upscale restaurants. Too bad Nevertheless, all in all it was a pleasant evening in a nice atmosphere.

In the restaurant upstairs you feel welcome and “arrived” from the first minute. The interior is extremely inviting and adds to the "overall experience upstairs". The food is extremely varied and fine; the service was very attentive and friendly. It's also great that you can eat a course in the kitchen and look over the chefs' shoulders. The price-performance ratio is also very fair! Overall, a wonderful evening that we would like to repeat quickly.

It was another great experience. We had a wonderful evening with excellent food. The three boys are a perfect team. The wine pairing was great. Interesting new discoveries for us. The atmosphere is indescribable upstairs. Thank you very much for that!

An exceptional meal in a special atmosphere. Thank you very much for the lovely evening Robert and the team. We'd love to come back if we're allowed 😉…

A great culinary evening. Unforgettable! The atmosphere, the very personal service and then the creative, top-class cuisine are simply fantastic. Thanks to Robert, Leis and Philipp.

The one above is an absolute highlight. The long wait for a reservation is a testament to the exceptional quality on offer here. The kitchen conjures up true masterpieces on your plate using regional and seasonal products. The 13-course menu is a taste explosion and the wine pairing rounds off the experience perfectly. The non-alcoholic options are also exceptional. The combination of excellent food, attentive service and a cozy atmosphere makes this visit unforgettable. An absolute must for everyone who appreciates high-quality cuisine and is looking for a special culinary experience.

Outstanding menu in a casual yet stylish atmosphere. A familiar, warm and perfect service rounds off a wonderful evening. The restaurant above stands out from other star restaurants in a very pleasant way. You just feel at home.

What can I say: my wife. and I have been regulars at Oben for years. Yes, actually, there are people who get a table more often, despite the ever-increasing crowds. And yes, we always look forward to the thirteen courses with the accompanying drinks. And we have never been disappointed! Robert is not a chef, but an artist who knows exactly what suits a season and how to implement it in culinary terms. And his team, both old and new, is friendly, attentive and fully focused on the menu as well as the guest. Keep it up! Because we'll be back!

Amazing restaurant with great food professional and friendly service. Best evening in a long time.

My Heidelberg experience completely changed last night after an excellent dinner at Oben. It showed me Heidelberg’s best. From beginning to end, the creativity and honesty of the dishes did not stop. Pork dish was my favorite for the evening and trout for my partner. But the last dish of lettuce and raspberry was simply extraordinary. I visited Heidelberg from Japan where food and seasonality are always considered and I saw that at Oben. I will definitely come back when I’m in the Heidelberg again. What I found I interesting experience also was the payment - it’s bank transfer lol, but nonetheless a great experience.

We spent a wonderful evening in a pleasant atmosphere with an unusual and well-put together menu. The service is excellent, the food is excellent. We can highly recommend the restaurant

We had the summer menu. Absolute feel-good atmosphere: very friendly, authentic, open team, although not aloof from the top, the restaurant is stylish and comfortably furnished with a great interior. There's not much to say about the menu including the wine accompaniment, everything just fit together perfectly. Great taste experience, great combinations, imaginative, local food. Absolute restaurant recommendation from us.

Beautiful food, wine selection at the master+ level. Dinner in a very pleasant atmosphere, in an intimate setting. You can freely talk to the creators of the dishes and to the sommelier who pours wonderful things into the glasses. The pigeon and watermelon gave the masses a positive shock!

A beautiful feel-good place with attentive, friendly and smart people. The food is first-class, regional, well thought-out and sometimes has surprising flavors. The wine accompaniment and also the non-alcoholic version are highly recommended. Every bite, every sip is an experience. As a guest you feel welcome and valued. The hours at the top remain unforgettable and have lasting effects, a feast for all the senses.

Dear Robert, Philipp and Leis, Thank you very much for the unforgettable evening! You are simply awesome! Kind regards, Andrea and Patrick

The Oben restaurant and the entire ensemble at Kohlhof is a magical place. So much peace and quiet combined with the greatest attention to detail is truly unique. Many thanks to Robert, Leis and Philipp for the unforgettable evening!

As always, an excellent culinary experience and excellent service.

Outstanding service.Outstanding ambience and cuisine that reflects the times and combines well-known, regional ingredients with modern methods. This region has never tasted so good. Thank you!

It's worth taking a look into the cellar. Food and service is outstanding!
