Restaurant Dorf-Chronik in Maikammer

Old, cozy inn. We were a bit unsure at first because the overall price level was higher than expected. But then we realized that it was really worth the money. The dishes were imaginative, delicious, nicely presented. Unusual creations, for example black pudding quiche. Sounds gross, but it was delicious! The home-grown wines are highly recommended, favorite: Cuvee dry barrique. Be sure to reserve early, as space is limited in the cozy restaurant.

Slightly manageable portions, long waiting times for service, no credit cards accepted, but rather high prices...

Despite making a reservation at short notice, we still got a table for two and thoroughly enjoyed the evening with excellent food and good wine. A big compliment to the kitchen and the service. It was a really great evening. Thank you very much for this.

The food was really fantastic! Unfortunately the service/possibly... The owner also made sure that we didn't feel comfortable! I reserved almost 1 week in advance and when we arrived we were shown a table. Unfortunately we mixed him up and we sat down. Instead of politely pointing out that we were sitting at the wrong table, we were asked to vacate the table in an extremely unfriendly tone because it was set for 3 people instead of 2. We were now supposed to sit down at a narrow table for 2 people in an extremely bad position! After we said that this table was not acceptable to us if we reserved it in advance, we were given a table in the next room. It would have been completely okay if two people hadn't come in, who were greeted with kisses and seated at the table that we just had to leave because it was set up for three people. When we asked why two people who apparently hadn't made a reservation got the table, we were told that they were regular guests. When we asked about the third person, we were told that they were still coming. Blatant lie, no one came anymore. Conclusion: Despite really good food, we wouldn't come here again! The receptionist's behavior was an absolute no-go!

Gourmet at its best. Star chef quality. You can find it in the best restaurant guides. Impressive wines. Moderate prices for the quality. Dogs allowed. Nice ambience. Cozy outdoor area. Expert advice on wine and food. Nice service. The boss herself.

Exceptional interpretation of dishes and good wines.

We come here every year for the garden market, among other things. And every year we look forward to the world's best Aperol Spritz (with the in-house high-quality sparkling wines) and, above all, the outstanding and original cuisine. Goat cheese crème brulée or matjes with coconut chili sour cream are AMAZING. Like all other foods. If it wasn't so far to drive, we could be here every week.

Unfortunately it was closed due to company holidays.

Very nice, cozy restaurant with a rustic outdoor area that invites you to linger. A fine menu from great young chefs. We went for the summer menu (summer, light, Mediterranean 6 courses) and it was a feast for the eyes and the palate. The accompanying wines from our own cultivation went perfectly with the dishes. The staff is attentive and prompt. We will be back and have already reserved for the next menu. An absolute recommendation 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Beautiful restaurant with exquisite food and very good wines. In terms of price, it's a slightly higher category, but with a good price-performance ratio. Friendly service and a well-kept atmosphere.

Birthday invitation, didn't know the place, was pleasantly surprised. Not typical Palatinate cuisine, but fine gourmet dishes, very well prepared and appealing to the eye. During our visit the service was friendly and attentive, but I can't understand the negative reviews I only read after our meal. The ambience is a successful combination of rustic charm, wooden beams, exposed brickwork and modern art. There's also a quaint courtyard for nice weather.

This was a stumbled upon find and oh what a treat! The food was EXCEPTIONAL! The service was good and friendly. We had a lovely evening as a family of 4 sitting outside with our dog. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening st this restaurant. We very highly recommend it! Thank you

I wanted to have dinner there today on the recommendation of the hotel around the corner and was kindly sent away again 1 1/2 hours after opening because it was simply closing 3 1/2 hours earlier due to a lack of guests. Unfortunately I have to give it one star, but officially I give it -5 stars. I had to drive 800km for work to experience something like that. INCREDIBLE Thanks for nothing, “dear owners”

My brother, sister-in-law and daughter were with you yesterday. All three raved about the food and the overall atmosphere and service. The quality of your food was once again a highlight. Keep it up.

I really liked the menu. The craftsmanship was high quality and all the dishes were absolutely diverse. The combination of each with fresh elements gives the dishes a nice depth on the one hand, but also a certain filigree and finesse on the other. This combination of finesse and fine precision seems to me to be the result of the concentration that the kitchen team tries to implement. Even if some fine-tuning can still be possible here and there, I like that the kitchen doesn't seem too forced or too strenuous. Everything seems very well thought out and harmonious to me.

Shameless, arrogant service! Never again!

Not cheap but worth the price. Both in terms of the selection of wines as well as the quality of food and service.

Unfortunately, the village chronicle is moving away from the splendor of earlier years. Unfortunately overpriced for the quality of the food. For a rump steak that costs €33, I can expect tender meat. Unfortunately none. My wife's main course was also overpriced. Unfortunately, requests are not taken into account. We experienced something different last year. A pity.

The whole of Maikammer was a party on Father's Day, full of friendly people who wanted to pamper their guests. Except in the “Dorf-Chronik” restaurant. Apart from fine dining, which is immediately pointed out after appraising glances, there is only ARROGANCE. No thanks.

My favorite restaurant in the South Palatinate, wonderful ambience, Marion Schwaab is a charming hostess, the tables are stylishly set, the chef is great and conjures up very tasty dishes on the plate, high quality. Always happy 😎

Very tastefully combines old and modern. Excellent wines, delicious food and nice service.

We stopped there after the hike. We only read the menu at the table 😅. Priced in a higher category 😅. The waitress noticed this. She kindly said that we could just have a drink, but then we would have to change tables, even though there were no tables occupied in the restaurant at the time. My girlfriend and I then decided to eat something. I had a large steak with a very small side of potato cake. The plate was very simply prepared. The meat was delicious and buttery tender. I would have liked more side dishes for this price. We found it a bit overpriced. By the way, the other guests' plates were also completely empty. We ate well, but weren't full.

Very pleasant atmosphere in the middle of the Palatinate. Delicious food and beautifully presented plates. A recommended restaurant for an enjoyable dinner for two or in a group.

Well, if you advertise your restaurant with Michelin, everything has to be right... my meal was very tasty veal saumagen... my wife had ox cheeks... also delicious except for the spinach dumplings... rump steak from our friend, well according to grades 5 to 6 ...the herb butter was still frozen...I really expected more...it's a shame I can't advertise it...

Even though the food was really good, I think it was overpriced. Just a vegetarian dish. The service was nice, but a little warmer would be nice

It's always a great experience! Anyone who appreciates very good food in a cozy, inviting atmosphere has come to the right place in the village chronicle. We were there with a group of five people for the menu evening and once again had a wonderful evening. As we all know, the eye eats and every course was beautifully prepared, with great attention to detail. The different flavors were also coordinated and creatively implemented. This menu was a real treat. The service was, as always, friendly and open. All that can be said is, thank you very much for this great evening, because everyone of us enjoyed it very much. We would like to come again!

A restaurant with a very nice atmosphere. You should come here if you want to enjoy your food and don't want to quickly satisfy your hunger while passing through. So observed at the next table. We enjoyed every bite! Thank you.

As always everything was perfect! Great service, delicious wine. Great 4-course menu that can easily compete with a star restaurant with a great price-performance ratio! We'd love to come back ❤️

Lukewarm food, no response to complaints, a shame. Desert was good

We thought for a long time whether we should comment on our New Year's Eve visit. We do it because we were surprised and annoyed afterwards. We have reserved the menu for New Year's Eve for 4 people for €98 per person. On December 31st, our friend got lumbago and had to be treated by the emergency doctor. So the couple dropped out and I called the village chronicle in the morning and let them know. Of course it was very annoying and of course very sad for us couples. My husband and I then went alone. The food was tasty, but not in proportion to the price. The wine accompaniment (4 x 0.1 l wine) cost €19. In addition to our €200 meal price, we had an additional €50 in drinks to reduce the “damage” a bit. When we cashed in we actually had to pay a €50 “fine” for our friends. The €50 did not appear on the receipt but went directly into the owner's cash register. An absolute no go for a place like this. By the way, everyone we told it to thought so!

Ambiance is very traditional - but inviting. Service friendly and distant. The food is good, but the price is relatively high. I would have expected a little more.

The food is good, but completely overpriced. The map is quite clear and then there isn't even everything that is on it. Service and ambience are nice.

The food is very tasty, but in my opinion the price-performance ratio is not right. In terms of size, the vegetarian main course of potato cake was a maximum of a starter at a price of €28, red wine from our own winery for €48, price for direct purchase €19. That has no bearing on me

Children not welcome. Extremely tense atmosphere. We were constantly being assessed/observed. Felt unwelcome. Upscale cuisine or not, if that means interpersonal relationships are completely lost.

A year ago we went to dinner in the village chronicle and were thrilled. Because of this, we were back today and were just disappointed. The salad and the dressing, zero eight fifteen, we would have gotten better at the chip shop. The main course was simply shoveled onto the plate. We saved ourselves the dessert. And the worst thing, we were sitting outside and we were attacked by nasty flies. An absolute failure.

Unfortunately, before any words were exchanged, we were scrutinized in advance and apparently not considered worthy. We wanted to end the evening after a long day of hiking. Here, however, we were immediately turned away without much exchange. Even in the event that there is no free table, you can express yourself differently as a house with a Michelin star. For us, this is not a restaurant that meets the customs of 2023. We felt absolutely unwelcome and wouldn't ask for a table again. A pity.

Auswahl Mangelhaft / Qualität Miserabel (der Ochse einfach nur Zäh)/ Versuch der Bedienung den gehobenen Anspruch zu erklären bei der Qualität des Essens leider fehlgeschlagen.....wird nichts mehr mit uns werden....Schade das ein Geburtstag so ein Ende findet.

Sehr guter Service, meine Weinwahl perfekt, der Kabeljau glasig top Zubereitung, Kombination mit Zwetschge, sehr gelungen, Ziegenkäse Creme brulle mit Mango, top.

Tolles Essen mit sehr guter Weinbegleitung und sehr zuvorkommende Bedienung.

Kleine, aber feine, elitäre Karte. Sehr schön angerichtet, nicht überwürzt, der Eigengeschmack der Produkte fein hervorgehoben. Sehr gute Weine. Ist alles seinen Preis wert...

Freundlicher Service, hervorragendes Essen, auch für's Auge, leckeres Bier.

Innen sehr schön eingerichtet, tolle stilvolle Mischung aus klassischen und modernen Elementen. Bedienung sehr nett, tolles Timing, angenehm. Das Essen war auch makellos, rundum sehr zu empfehlen. Achtung Touristen: Wir haben nach unserem Essen kein Taxi mehr bekommen und mussten zu Fuß zum Bahnhof laufen. (Natürlich kein "Punktabzug" für das Restaurant deswegen)

Had a brilliant and interesting meal. Charming idea of choosing a colour and getting a surprise. True haute cuisine.

Wir waren an einem Samstag Abend dort essen, obwohl der Laden komplett gefüllt war, war der Service sehr zuvorkommend. Das Essen kam schnell und sehr lecker bei uns an. Sehr schöne Gerichte. Schönes Ambiente. Sehr empfehlenswert. Kommen gerne wieder!

Der Restaurant Innenraum ist ein gelungener Mix aus alt und modern. Die Gerichte sind kreativ und von gehobener Qualität. Keine Pfälzer Dreifaltigkeit aus Saumagen, Leberknödel und Bratwurst auf der Karte. Zum Glück. Die Portionen sind angemessen groß und bepreist. Es gibt etliche Weine offen, auch als 0,1l Glas sowie gute Auswahl and Flaschenwein die preislich OK sind. Service war sehr nett und Flott, die Wartezeit war recht kurz. Gerne wieder.

Essen auf hohem Niveau (die Preise aber auch) Portionen für die Pfälzer eher klein alles sehr sauber 🧽 Lamsbräu Bier sicherlich die bessere Wahl als die lokalen Weine…

Sehr leckeres Essen, sehr nette Gastgeber!

Mittelmäßig, überteuert und bedenklich! Wir hatten die "Dorfchronik" extra anhand der sehr guten Bewertungen aufgesucht und wollten mal in einem mehrfach ausgezeichneten Restaurant essen. Aber lesen Sie selbst: Es ist ein schickes, gemütliches Restaurant im Familienbetrieb, wenn wir auch aufgrund der Eigenwerbung "Gemütlichkeit und Essgenuss" zu mindestens beim Essgenuss enttäuscht wurden. Wir hatten FEINES VOM HEIMISCHEN HIRSCHKALB und ZANDER. Portionen in so einem Bib Gourmand, Michelin usw. Restaurant sind ja meistens nie besonders groß, aber muss es "Ein klitzekleines Medaillon" in Größe eines alten 5-Mark Stückes sein oder "Zander, so groß wie zwei Fischstäbchen für sage und schreibe 65,00 EUR? Der Zander war sogar sehr gut, aber das kleine Medaillon gab es erst im zweiten Anlauf. Die erste Lieferung ging gründlich daneben: Bemerkte der Koch noch zum Barkeeper, "dass man das Hirschkalb" nicht mehr servieren könnte, ich hab schon versucht das beste herauszuschneiden", meinte man, es mir dennoch servieren zu können: Sehnig durch und durch, keine Chance irgendwie das Fleisch abzulösen! War das Euer Ernst mir das trotzdem anzubieten? Und dann der Klassiker Satz der Chefin "im Fleisch steckt man leider nicht drin". Hey, wenn Euer Koch so etwas schon bemerkt, ist das eine Frechheit es doch noch dem Gast unterzujubeln". Meine Stimmung war dahin. Was mich aber noch mehr aufgeregt hat, war, dass man am Ende eine "Zwischenrechnung" bekommt, kein zertifizierter Kassenbon. Erst auf meine deutliche Nachfrage, was das soll, hieß es von der Chefin" Also, wenn Sie einen richtigen Bewirtungsbeleg brauchen, bekommen Sie auch den". Ich erwiderte, ich brauch keinen Bewirtungsbeleg, sondern einen Bon, der die steuerlichen Anforderungen und Merkmale enthält. Erst danach gab es eine ordnungsgemäße "Rechnung". Und liebe Familie Schwaab: So etwas geht nicht! Wenn jetzt noch der Klassiker kommt, "wir warten erstmal ab, ob der Kunde bar oder mit Karte bezahlt", vergessen Sie es, das müssen Sie vorher abfragen. Fazit: Herbe Enttäuschung, so was braucht kein Mensch.

Sehr zu empfehlen. Gehobene Küche

Sehr gemütliches, schönes Restaurant vom Weingut Schwaab. Das Personal war von Beginn an freundlich, sowohl am Telefon bei der Reservierung als auch vor Ort. Tolle Auswahl an eigenen Weinen (Stefan Schwaab), offen und als Flasche. Dazu einige Weine anderer Weingüter. Gute Auswahl an Speisen mit zusätzlicher Tageskarte. Tolles Preis-Genuss-Verhältnis beim Essen als auch beim Wein. Gerne wieder :)

Überwältigend - wir hatten reserviert für sechs Erwachsene und ein Kleinkind - der Tisch war so lieb gedeckt, sogar für den Kleinen mit Kinderstuhl, Teller, Becher und Besteck - wir wurden herzlich empfangen und haben uns rundum wohl gefühlt, was heute nicht mehr selbstverständlich ist - die Speisekarte sehr ansprechend - die Mitarbeiter echte "Gastgeber" - das Essen überragend lecker und kreativ - ein ganz besonderes Erlebnis - vielen Dank

Tolles Essen, freundliches Personal in einem wunderschönen Ambiente. Leider war das bestellte Steak etwas zäh.

Essen und Wein gut, außer Ribeye sehr durchzogen von sehnigen Stellen. Servicekraft sieht zwar das Problem, bei 35 Euro für das Gericht, wurde man sich eine Entschuldigung wünschen. Auf die Frage, ob man als letzte verbliebene Gäste noch etwas zu trinken bekommt, wird man gegen 22.15 Uhr freundlich und bestimmt hinauskompimentiert. Bei Weinpreisen von durchschnittlich 7€ pro Viertel, ist es allem Anschein nach nicht nötig, Kunden zum Wiederkommen zu motivieren.

Außergewöhnlich, sehr nette Bedienung, nicht gewöhnliche Karte, alles in allem ein schöner Abend

Köche sind sehr nice 💯 Empfehlung!! Wenn man in Maikammer ist, sollte man dort vorbeischauen. 💪

Sehr schönes uriges Lokal gepaart mit modernem Ambiente. Netter Service, gute Weinkarte und sehr schmackhaftes nett angerichtetes Essen.

Alle von uns bestellten Gerichte waren sehr zuckerlastig. Die ente handwerklich schlecht/zäh in dicken Scheiben Der topwein auf der Karte eigentlich ungenießbar

Netter Empfang, freundliche Bedienung, schneller Service sehr gutes Essen und Trinken ... was will man mehr ?

6 von 5 Sternen! Grandiose Speisen - ganz gleich, ob Ochsenbäckchen, Wolfsbarsch oder Jakobsmuscheln. Die Weine vom Weingut Schwaab ergänzen die Speisen perfekt! Und auch der Service ist absolut perfekt. Wir kommen wieder!

Unbedingt reservieren. Regionale Küche mit dem gewissen Pfiff. Es werden hochwertige Produkte verwendet und zum Trinken gibt es ausgezeichnete Weine. Kleine Karte aber auch die Tageskarte beachten. Wir haben uns wohlgefühlt

Wir sind über den BIP auf das Restaurant aufmerksam geworden. Auf Nachfrage erklärte man uns, es gäbe kein Menü. Stattdessen muss sich der Gast die Gänge selber zusammen bauen, so dass ich innerhalb der 39 Euro bleibe. Das ist aber nicht Sinn und Zweck, sondern der BIP sollte neuen Gästen die Handschrift des Koch's bzw dessen Stil den Gästen aufzeigen. Laut Michelin steht “ob regional, international oder auch rein vegetarisch. Zu finden sind die mit Bib Gourmand ausgezeichneten Adressen überall in Deutschland, in großen Städten ebenso wie auf dem Land. Bei aller Vielfalt haben sie eines gemeinsam: Sie bieten ein komplettes 3-Gänge-Menü für maximal 39 Euro.” ... hier schmückt man sich leider mit fremden Federn, wir sehen daher vor einem zukünftigen Besuch ab.

Sehr positiv überrascht! Hier wird auf einem hohen Niveau geliefert 👍 Essen sehr lecker und Service sehr aufmerksam. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

Sehr schönes Restaurant, freundliche Bedienung, das Essen und Wein ein Genuss 👌
