Restaurant Franz in Achern

Quiet atmosphere with nice furnishings

Good food and lots of space, you can also eat here with a wheelchair and stroller.

First of all, the positive: The restaurant is large, the furnishings are very modern and bright and the ambience is good. For the summer season there are terraces with seating both in front of the house and at the back. I think the concept is really good and remarkable: inclusion is very important here and the “Franz” integrates well into the retirement home. You also see a lot of seniors at dinner; sometimes also together with nursing staff. The service staff was nice and accommodating; However, a bit overwhelmed due to the number of guests. Now the but: You can clearly tell from the food that the focus here is very much on seniors. The portions are very small and there is hardly any seasoning. Salt, flavors, sweetness and spiciness are missing. We treated ourselves to a Lillet Wild Berry beforehand. It was tasty; But we were missing some decoration. No mint, just a few frozen raspberries. For starters we had lamb's lettuce with bacon and crackers and a mixed salad. The potato mustard dressing on the lamb's lettuce was homemade, the salad was very good and extensively decorated and really very tasty. Things were completely different with the mixed salad: the dressing was far too sweet and tasted like a convenience product. The main course was the schnitzel with fries and sauce. There was no salt on the fries, the schnitzel was fried; therefore a bit dry and hardly seasoned. The sauce was a disaster and either from Maggi or Knorr. Finally, a small dessert: a “mini-panacotta” and a “mini-crème brûlée”. We actually like small desserts. But then there should be something to it. With the crème brûlée again zero decoration; not a berry or anything else and so small that it was eaten with exactly 3 teaspoons (see also the picture in relation to the size of the teaspoon). And that's almost cheeky for 4 euros. Since the quality and price-performance ratio of the drinks and food in the restaurant are significantly more important than the ambience and feel-good factor, we can unfortunately only award 3 stars.

We were at Restaurant Franz for the first time for Sunday brunch on March 2nd, 2025, and it definitely won't be the last time. All the dishes were very good, some like the carpaccio, the salmon or the trout fillet were great. The entire staff was very attentive and friendly. The price-performance ratio is top.

Very good food and friendly staff. I can recommend it.

Very tasty food, friendly courteous staff

Delicious breakfast, cozy atmosphere. The only criticism was that the coffee came 15 minutes before the breakfast plate, so it was cold.

We went for brunch. Everything was delicious, there was a wide selection, and everything was more than adequate. The staff was consistently very friendly. The only negative point is the sparkling wine at the beginning. Instead of Spanish sparkling wine, perhaps you should consider switching to a secco from a local wine cooperative. But otherwise, we'd be happy to go back.

There is something for everyone when it comes to food. Nice service. I highly recommend the homemade jam as it is very tasty.

Christmas brunch was great again!!! Staff very accommodating!!! Everything great. We'd love to come back!!!

🌷 Hey, yesterday afternoon we were at Franz's... 🌷 ...the Franz is located in Achern in the Carré at the glassworks. The cooking there is good, traditional and creative. From breakfast to lunch, there are also cakes and snacks (the restaurant usually closes at 8:30 p.m., but of course it stays open later for events) 😋. Directly next door is the modern care center for seniors and young adults 🙏

Dishes are usually not well seasoned.

Everything is great. Were there for a family celebration and were extremely satisfied. Everyone was very nice and attentive.

The food was very tasty and the service was extremely accommodating. We also liked the atmosphere, even if it seemed a bit sterile. We were particularly pleasantly surprised that we received such a warm welcome on New Year's Day, shortly before the kitchen closed. We are happy to recommend this restaurant.

Simply top, whether breakfast, lunch or coffee and cake, highly recommended, very friendly staff, great atmosphere, always happy

Great service, delicious cake, good food. Recommended!

Cute restaurant with fantastic food. The salad dressing is to die for. The service is quick, friendly and not intrusive.

Very tasty and very nice restaurant. The concept of encountering the home is very nicely implemented and does not exude a “hospital flair”.

I was in this restaurant yesterday. I am fascinated by the surroundings and the cuisine. The staff was extremely friendly. Absolutely normal prices and great meals. I will definitely come back.

Sometimes I spend my lunch break in the restaurant, which is always particularly relaxing and nice. Occasionally I also order something from the large menu outside of the day because it is always very good. That's always particularly good. The kitchen always thinks about seasonal dishes and you can tell that they cook with a lot of love. I am always very satisfied and will miss Restaurant Franz very much when I start my new job. The conditions have a lot to do but are still very, very nice. You feel very comfortable with this colorful, matching furnishings.

Super nice atmosphere, great food & very nice staff. Always worth a visit!

Food ok. Not much choice at brunch. Service nice

Delicious food at slightly increased prices

Good, wholesome food, nicely prepared and very attentive service. The atmosphere is particularly striking and pleasant, as several generations eat and chat together.🙃 Price-performance is good.

In a nice environment, children were also catered for (painting offered), and the food was good. The vegan rice dish was only for a small appetite, but we could have used a little spice power... The creation in and of itself was good. The bottom line is that we were satisfied and would/will visit again, especially since the good service deserves it!

- Visually sophisticated and delicious food at a reasonable price - attentive, warm, super nice service - current: Great family day promotion on Saturdays (there is a free children's menu with every main course) with child-friendly service We'd love to come back :-)

Very pleasant restaurant within a day hospital style health establishment for the elderly. Very nice concept

It is a restaurant attached to a retirement home. The interior is very open and bright.

“Das Restaurant Franz in Achern ist eine echte Empfehlung! Die Atmosphäre ist gemütlich und einladend, perfekt für ein entspanntes Essen oder einen besonderen Anlass. Das Essen war hervorragend – frische Zutaten, kreativ zubereitet und wunderschön präsentiert. Der Service war sehr aufmerksam und freundlich, man fühlt sich rundum wohl und willkommen. Ein tolles Erlebnis, das ich gerne weiterempfehle!”

Brunch on the 1st Sunday of the month Everything was fine. Great service, great food. What else is there to say?

Nettes Ambiente, tolle engagierte Bedienung. Sehr gutes Essen. Wirklich zu empfehlen. Kommen gerne wieder wenn wir in der Gegend sind.

What more could you want? A beautiful location, in the right place, with people who need company and are happy about it. Very friendly staff, delicious ice cream. Thank you very much

Very attentive staff and delicious food

We had very nice service, the atmosphere is nice and modern. There were vegan options, even oat milk for the coffee. The food tasted very good. Totally recommended. We didn't know beforehand that the restaurant was in a retirement home, but that wasn't a problem.

We went to Franz for Sunday brunch, nothing was missing. The service staff and the boss were very nice and always present. A successful start and highly recommended.

Simply great. Nice staff. Delicious breakfast.

Simply great for young entrepreneurs

We were there for breakfast and were very satisfied! Price-performance ratio is right and the employees are very nice. Will definitely come back

I'm thrilled. Great atmosphere, very friendly service and of course very tasty food. In my case the tagliatelle with smoked salmon. I would love to come back.

We had reserved several holiday breakfasts. Service: I am very disappointed with the service. Unfortunately a glass broke. Unfortunately I was given two rags to wipe it off myself. Unfortunately, shards were scattered everywhere. After several requests, I was also given napkins to dry the floor and table, as the rags were dripping with juice... Unfortunately they didn't ask about cuts either... Unfortunately, during the course of the visit we were not asked whether we would like any more drinks... Last but not least, after asking several times, we had to wait 20 minutes for service to pay. I had to ask twice if someone could come and collect. Unfortunately we discovered that the service had added the small sausage plate and the drink, which was covered in shards and juice, to the bill. Eat: We had booked the big holiday dinner. There was plenty of sausage, cheese, fruit and confiture, Nutella. Unfortunately, the amount of the small baked rolls was very small, so there was a lot left over. It was described on the menu that there was a glass of sparkling wine and a glass of orange juice. Unfortunately the glasses were filled differently. Some champagne glasses were filled 1/4 full with orange juice or champagne, some were actually filled even less... The yoghurts specified were not made available to every guest, which I found very unfortunate. Unfortunately, I will not visit Restaurant Franz again after this incident and unfortunately I cannot recommend it to anyone else.

Very BAD service!!!! There wasn't even a proper hello said. When a champagne glass accidentally tipped over and broke. We didn't even look or ask if anyone had hurt themselves, they only gave us wet rags and we had to wipe everything up ourselves. (We also had to ask for dry towels ourselves). Since shards fell into a plate of sausage, we asked if we wanted another one. The overturned glass was replaced without any questions. In the end they wanted to PAY ADDITIONALLY for the overturned glass (even though we didn't say we wanted a new one) and the mini plate of selection (4 slices of sausage), none of which was eaten. During our stay no one came to ask if we wanted anything else. The rolls were too few for the number of people, they were soon empty and no offer was made to bring new ones. (We had to ask ourselves again. To be fair the ambience is nice. The food was okay, but it didn't look fresh (fruit was a bit dry) (salmon was lukewarm and had apparently been on the plate for a long time and had already given off pink water). Very minimalistic for expensive breakfasts.

I'm very disappointed! During our visit today we had booked a small celebration with breakfast. Right at the beginning a glass broke and broke into small pieces. The shards were then placed on a small sausage platter and the orange juice ran down the table. When we told the waitress, she simply gave us a cloth to clean with. We then had to put away the orange juice and the shards ourselves. Where is the service??? We then got a new glass and a new small sausage platter. In between, no one asked us if we wanted something to drink. When we wanted to pay, the waitress charged us for the new sausage plate and the new glass. When we asked why we had to pay for it, the waitress said that the old sausage platter with broken pieces could no longer be used and had to be thrown away. We couldn't use it anymore because it was full of broken pieces. I thought it was pretty cheeky of the waitress to charge for the new glass and plate. In general, the service didn't seem likeable. Because of today's experience I will definitely not be coming back!!!!

I am very disappointed!!!!! 7 of us were there for breakfast. We stupidly dropped a glass of orange juice at the beginning. Everything was full, including a small sausage plate (with broken pieces and orange juice). The waitress said in an annoyed tone whether we wanted a new sausage plate (should we eat broken pieces?!?!) What a question.. Well...not only that we had to pay extra for this sausage plate and the ojuice in addition to the breakfast . The waitress gave us a rag to clean ourselves. Then napkins. Impossible!!!!! EVERYTHING WAS FULL!!! WE ALSO HAD TO TAKE THE NAPKINS TO THE TRASH OURSELVES! At such a price you can expect the service to make up for it and, above all, to be more polite! Never again!!!!!! We weren't asked once if we wanted something more to drink. The store is impossible! The food was OK. The salmon was just pretty warm already!

I can only agree with the numerous positive reviews. We like to visit FRANZ during our stays in Achern. The ambience and the food always exceed expectations. Last visit: Salad with rump steak was ideal. Keep it up!!

Excellent food and great service. Always my pleasure

Unexpectedly good. Were passing through and were very positively surprised

Very nice service, very tasty food, large portions, nice atmosphere, highly recommended.

Large and well-maintained restaurant with nice service. Great breakfast offerings. Quietly located with seating both inside and outside.

Very tasty vegan breakfast, decaffeinated coffee and oat milk are also available. I went home very happy. :) The service and atmosphere were very friendly. Cozy atmosphere like in a modern hotel, lots of space. We'd love to come back.

We've been here for brunch several times and we're thrilled every time. The offering and quality are great, the team is very friendly and the atmosphere is modern and pleasant. You don't sit so close to each other. The buffet is always appetizing and there is something for everyone. Only recommended.

We decided at short notice to finally go to Franz and didn't regret it. There are noticeably professionals at work here. The restaurant was very well attended. My praise to the service staff, friendly, calm and apparently with a well-organized kitchen team, good craftsmanship was brought to the guests here.👍😋😊🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️ We would be happy to come back.

Celebrated our birthday with 21 people at Restaurant Franz. Went for breakfast brunch and everyone was really excited about the large selection, the delicious food and the friendly and courteous service staff. Beautiful ambience in which you like to linger. Great value for money. We'd love to come back

Wir waren das 1.mal in dem Restaurant Franz zum brunchen, es war wahnsinnig, es gab alles was das ❤️ begehrt .Der Service war mehr als optimal. Wir können es mit bestem Gewissen weiterempfehlen.

We went for brunch. Food was very tasty and plentiful. Staff very friendly and accommodating. The boss personally inquired at every table whether everything was correct. We would be happy to come back.

Went there to drink coffee and eat cake. The cake was very tasty. Coffee was fine too, everything was good.

Great 👍 everything is great, from the food to the ambience, I have nothing to complain about, I always enjoy eating there or just a café

We had Sunday brunch today 😋😋everything was delicious! Price/performance cannot be topped. Service very attentive and nice. We would love to come back! Restaurant Franz, recommended without reservation

Good food in a nice and quiet location! The food was delicious, whether classic home cooking or delicious dishes from Italian and oriental cuisine, there is something for every taste. The service was very attentive and friendly. The price-performance ratio was okay. I highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely come back!

Super tasty food, very good quality and well prepared. Exceptional ambience and attentive service staff. Definitely recommendable👌🏻

Superlatives are always difficult to convey. But here they are really appropriate. FOOD was really plentiful and tasty and the quality was worth the money. We each ordered the salad plates individually, in particular the one with rump steak, which was served absolutely perfectly. Therefore all 6 thumbs up because there were three of us today. And we will definitely be happy to come back. The service was also first class in every way. Thank you very much for the evening.

Super great salad, huge portion, nice friendly service

Friendly service Food was good I had imagined the barbecue buffet differently, but everyone has a different opinion

Nice ambience, good food, friendly and fast service. To recommend!

Big praise to the employees of Lokal Franz, who arrived with Müller Reisen, despite some mistake in the reservation, everything went like clockwork, great service and commendable staff, hats off to you......

Very nice, spacious restaurant. Super tasty salad. The spaetzle was a little too soft, but otherwise great.

Great idea to house a restaurant in a retirement home! The audience mixes, which helps the older people to take part in social life. Simply great! The kitchen is really good and the staff is very nice. We felt completely comfortable!

The restaurant is part of the concept of a seniors' residence. Spacious seating areas with bright lighting. Service is friendly and attentive. Food different. The starter soup was very tasty. Unfortunately, the main course had errors: the schnitzel was finished and the spaetzle was left in the water for too long.

Very nice atmosphere, good service and very good coffee

Great concept. Continuous food offerings from breakfast, lunch, coffee or dinner. The Monthly Branch is Eyes and Food Enjoyment Very good cuisine. Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Parking space possible in the underground car park. Disabled-friendly. Highly frequented, so it's better to order in advance

We went here for brunch on Easter Monday! There were lots of delicious things, the space was very spacious, the staff was attentive and friendly! I can only recommend it! Likewise the lunch table (I was there at another time), so all in all a great location🍀✌️

Excellent Easter brunch. Great offer, lovingly prepared, main courses freshly prepared. Very attentive staff. Although all seats were occupied, very quiet. Highly recommended.

Friendly staff. Very good kitchen, lots of space. Branch and breakfast highly recommended. Since it is very busy, a reservation is usually advisable.

Very good food, service friendly and nice, atmosphere very modern

Nice atmosphere, unfortunately the Black Forest was already empty 👍

The food is recommended, the staff is friendly. You feel comfortable in Franz!!!! I was here again last Friday. There was a lot going on, but Ramona, a new waitress, and all the other colleagues had everything under control. If there are people who are doing too slowly, they should work in the catering industry themselves so that they can even afford to judge. I and everyone who has been there with me always enjoy coming back. KEEP UP, DEAR FRANZ TEAM. !!!!!!!!

Was there for brunch for the third time and definitely not the last time. Everything's great. Great staff.

Sunday brunch was very tasty with a great selection. Something for everyone. TOP!

I go there regularly, the food is always delicious and the staff is always super nice to residents and guests from outside. Great restaurant in a great facility - nothing to complain about for me!

I had a great time there with my colleague for dinner after work. Efficient and fast service.

The restaurant is located in the middle of the retirement community in Achern! Too embedded for me because I just drove past it😅. We were there for breakfast on Saturday morning (table reservations are always recommended). The selection of different breakfasts is sufficient - sometimes less is more! The Glashütten breakfast is plentiful; the scrambled eggs were delicious and the selection of different rolls was ok! The price is rather in the upper range (17.80 euros) - but this is probably due to inflation, as everything has become more expensive! The ambience is modern and appealing; For me personally the dining room was too big/open! Gladly worth recommending😊

Great concept. Old to young. Together, at eye level. Drinks are unreasonably expensive. E.g. 1 cafe = 1/4 meal of the day!!!

Modern restaurant that is also the canteen of a senior citizens' home. Food quite decent, quite large portions. Salad was very good. The tagliatelle with salmon didn't convince me. Neither does the Black Forest cake. Price level is definitely too high.

Beautiful restaurant, we can only recommend delicious food, everything beautifully prepared, delicious cakes and a very friendly staff.

Anything that has to do with meat or salad is edible. Unfortunately, the chef has shortcomings when it comes to everything that is fried: French fries are too salty, fried potatoes taste too hot or old fat, and it's better not to bite into the cute fried dough baskets in which the vegetables are served.

German cuisine in the restaurant, only with connection to assisted living. Also open to guests, family and groups. The items were very good and generously served. I'll probably be here from time to time.

Hello from France Unfortunately, we don't have anything like that...very high-quality brunch offerings and even a dessert buffet with no calories (according to the boss)😉

Food tasted great. However, portions suitable for seniors, so a little too little for the lunch price.

Very tasty food, great selection, huge salads that are very tasty and exceptional. Extra dishes are also available upon request. Great service, friendly staff. Reservations are recommended for breakfast.

The chocolate that was served to me was in a large cocktail glass. It was completely overflowing so full of cream that you couldn't even lift the glass to drink it. As far as I know, you drink chocolate from a cup!

Nice modern restaurant. What is special is that it is located directly in a nursing home. Nevertheless, the interior is very modern, almost youthful. A really great place to eat, but I find the portions too small for my taste for the price.

Service 1 star 🌟 Deduction is a shame because there was a long waiting time and cutlery was only available for 2 at the table for 4 people. Still a very nice atmosphere and nice employees

Very nice place to linger with just a cup of coffee or breakfast.

Freundliches Personal sehr gutes Essen

Wir fühlen uns mittlerweile fast wie zu Haus im Restaurant Franz . Heute waren wir zum Weihnachtsbuffet und ich muss sagen das Buffet hat einen umgehauen . Es hat wirklich an nichts gefehlt und super schön war alles arrangiert . Die Küche hat sich selbst übertroffen . Vielen Dank an das gesamte Team . Wir kommen gerne wieder. Das Restaurant Franz ist nicht nur zu Weihnachten ein Besuch wert . Wir gehen dort auch gerne Frühstücken . Für so ein reichhaltiges , mit liebe zum Detail angerichtetes Frühstück , muss man weit fahren . Mit lieben Grüßen an das gesamte Team , Gaby und Stefan Soethe

Wir waren im Restaurant Franz zum Weihnachtsbuffet. Herkommen und sich Wohlfühlen. Das ist, wie man sehr schnell erkennen kann, die Philosophie des Restaurants. Alles ist bestens organisiert. Trotz der vielen Gäste läuft alles wie am Schnürchen. Herausragend die exzellente Qualität des Buffets mit der sehr gut durchdachten Auswahl. Abgerundet wird das durch sehr aufmerksames und freundliches Personal. Danke an das gesamte Franz-Team für diese schönen, entspannten Weihnachtsstunden! W.Welzel mit Familie

Wir waren am 2.Weihnachtstag zum Mittagsbüffett. Es liess keine Wünsche offen und der Service war ausgezeichnet. Immer wieder gerne.

Seitdem wir im Restaurant „Franz“ zum Essen kommen , wurden wir nie enttäuscht. Ich kann diese Einrichtung nur empfehlen. Philippe Picaud

Wir waren heute, am 1. Weihnachtsfeiertag, mit 12 Personen dort. Trotz, daß dieses Lokal mit 150 Personen voll besetzt war, so überzeugte doch die Professionalität der Serviceleute......top👍👍Der Weihnachtsbrunch ließ keinerlei Wünsche offen.....megatop....👍💫💫💫 Preis/Leistung ist mehr als ok......👍👍👍👍 Nur zu empehlen! 💪🎅👍💫💫💫💫💫

Schönes, modernes und gemütliches Ambiente. Freundliches, aufmerksames Personal. Sehr leckeres Essen. Gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis. Immer wieder gerne.

Sehr schönes Restaurant mit modernem, aber gemütlichem Ambiente. Das Ambiente veführt zum lange verweilen. Das Essen war sehr lecker und reichlich, aber nicht übertrieben . Die Preise sind fair für die Qualität und man bekommt ziemlich viel für Geld.
