Restaurant Gasthaus Zahm in Saarbrücken

Good, fresh and homemade food, unobtrusively friendly service, reasonable prices for the high quality of what is on offer, we were very happy with our (random) choice of this restaurant today. We will be happy to come back on our next visit to Saarbrücken

Totally original in there! Pure Saarbrücken! Time stood still in a positive sense! Again and again! Tip: try the “Hooriga” stuffed! I liked the one with liver sausage a little more

Always a pleasure when we are in town. Always very tasty.

Had veal liver with apple and mashed potatoes, it was very tasty and the liver was very tender.

Very nice restaurant with a down-to-earth cuisine. The selection is very diverse and the wine list is also impressive. We were there with a large group and everyone was thrilled. I especially liked the steak tartare and the crème brûlée. The service was friendly and everything was clean and well maintained.

"Hello, we are two people." “Have you made a reservation?” 'No." "There's a table for four people at the front, you can sit there. But if a group of four comes, we'll move you to the back room." "Yes, then we'd best sit in another restaurant before we're moved, see you again."

The best address on the market in SB for mussel eating in season. But the rest, such as the delicious Boudin Noir and much more, are always worth an evening at Zahm. Gladly again at any time 🤤

Best fries and dumplings we have ever eaten.

It tasted very good and the quality of the ingredients was excellent.. Service also very good

What a pleasant surprise in Saarbrücken! Traveling from France to Berlin, we were looking for a good dinner and were not disappointed. This fish soup! The moules! The wine! Everything was perfect. Furthermore, wonderful and very friendly service and fair prices. No, I'm not in the habit of photographing my food, so you'll have to take my word for it - or try it yourself. We would love to go back (perhaps as non-smokers 😉). Thank you very much!

Simply delicious. And the service is simply great.

Good food and very friendly and courteous service staff.

Nice place, good, partly local Saarland cuisine, friendly service and fair prices. A good start to our trip to Saarbrücken and Völklingen!

Good service. Price-performance ok.

We ate here for the first time today. The food was okay, but the taste was a bit bland. We also waited a very long time for drinks and food. The lady from service was super friendly.

I really liked the Gasthaus Zahm on Saarstrasse in Saarbrücken. Since it is directly opposite the Saargentur, where I often go, I also go to the Zahm guesthouse from time to time. The food is good there and I particularly like the menu there. I like to eat “Saarland dishes”, or home cooking, which is always excellent there. I particularly enjoyed the fish soup and the sausage salad with fried potatoes!

Look no further. You will be very welcome, and even in French. ;) The catering is excellent. Steak cooked correctly, blood sausages excellent and kidneys that will knock your stomach on the ground. Average price €20/€25 per dish. With even an extra plate of salad to accompany the steak and kidneys. Thank you again for this good time.

Very rustic restaurant with regional cuisine and courteous service. Thanks.

We happily waited about 40 minutes for a table, the food we ordered didn't come in the order, the meat was well cooked, the sauce was minimal and the reordering of the sauce was charged at €3.50. Only the snails were worth the €. Unfortunately not anymore

excellent French cuisine, friendly and very good service, definitely recommended. Great value for money, in the middle of the old town

Very poor fish soup Chicken breast tasteless We do not recommend it

Ordered fish soup and chicken with morel sauce. Potatoes don't taste like potatoes, chicken doesn't taste like potatoes, morel sauce has no mushrooms or flavor. Fish soup doesn't taste like fish, mostly mussels because it's the cheapest. Total failure!

Can't understand the positive reviews. Unfortunately my cell phone had no battery left, otherwise I would have taken photos of the food and the toilet. In the end I decided not to use it as it looked. I had a goat cheese brulee with a salad bouquet. Carelessly done; Not only did it look unappetizing, it tasted that way too. The leaf lettuce is also comby. Since I was invited to dinner, I didn't make a scene. Otherwise I wouldn't have held back. The service wasn't particularly good either, the waiting times were forever. Since I also had indigestion, I will no longer go to this restaurant and can't recommend it to anyone.

Super nice service. Nice selection of (French) delicacies. Gladly again. Extra praise to “Operator 2” from July 8th.

Best liver with mashed potatoes like my grandma used to make, a culinary delight

Friendly service Delicious food, especially the regional dishes Gladly again

I can't understand all the positive reviews about this restaurant. This was by far the worst schnitzel I have ever eaten. The fries and the schnitzel tasted as if they had been fried in old fat. The quantity itself was okay, but the ratio of fries to schnitzel wasn't right. We were there in a small group and had to wait forever for the drinks, Then half the drinks were forgotten. We waited forever for the food. The neighboring tables received their food much faster. The only positive thing was the nice waiter. So it was the first and last visit

Unfortunately my first and last visit to this restaurant. Service was still ok, even if something was forgotten in between, but we tried hard! Re: However, the food was a disappointment. I had a cordon bleu which was unfortunately extremely small for the price and also dry. No cheese, even a hint of it, the fries were dark and tasted like old fat. Maybe just a bad day, but that was nothing!

I've been curious for a while and I haven't regretted it: food like grandma's, very nice and attentive staff. Gladly again

In cooler temperatures the restaurant is too drafty, the seating is rather uncomfortable and the tables are too close together in places

A nice little restaurant in the heart of Saarbrücken. Good local cuisine. The team could be a little more attentive. Then we would have had one or two more drinks.

High prices compared to the quality of the food. 4.6/5 not deserved at all. I won't give it more than a 2.5. Boss not too welcoming to foreigners… I was very disappointed.

Some dishes are home cooking and typically made, others are presented a little differently than usual.

We sat outside. Food was very tasty. Saarland cuisine. Gladly again.

Super nice restaurant with good food and attentive service. Food was good, a little too spicy for me (Minnestrone), but still tasty. There are some vegan and vegetarian alternatives on the menu. My colleague ate an excellent steak. Any time!

Very tasty food, Fast and great service, gladly again.

The Gasthaus Zahn was built in an old inn from 1911, which was also managed by Mr. Zahn. It is best to imagine the two temporal inns (1911-2024) as a kind of vortex, or for example a Rayleigh-Taylor instability. This can be seen as a mushroom-shaped protrusion of the liquids into one another (Becker/Bruch) or when milk is added to a cup of tea.

Delicious food paired with friendly staff in a rustic atmosphere

Social gathering, late lunch. Excellent dishes, served after a dozen or so minutes, so quite quickly. The lady serving was very polite, she spoke German and English. The table arrangement was quite loose, but the couple sitting next to us were too close to our table, which was not very comfortable for both them and us.

The venison steak was on point, rosy - tender and instead of croquettes I was able to enjoy Hoorisch. Great value for money. I would love to come back

The food was delicious and perfect portion. The ladies serving there were very nice and spoke English very well. The atmosphere was quaint. The restaurant itself is small so not good for a big party.

Very friendly service and the food is really tasty. Price-performance ratio is right here ☺️

I was a guest at “Zahm” for the first time. The quality of the food was excellent - I had the Cordon Bleu with fries. Unfortunately, the general trend in restaurants has also been confirmed there - portions are simply becoming smaller. Unfortunately I didn't really get full, even though it was really tasty.

Recommendation also to non-Saarlanders. In addition to French-inspired cuisine, there are also typical Saarland specialties, just like grandma used to cook them.

Great food. Service a little sterile. No interaction

Great restaurant with very nice staff. Food was 1a. We recommend the onion roast beef and the cheese spaetzle. There was Tannenzäpfle beer on tap🍺👍 We'll definitely be back

I had a wonderful evening at Zahm today. The food was delicious and not to mention the service! The red-haired waitress was able to help us with our wine selection, was extremely accommodating and gave us a lovely evening. Thank you! We'll definitely be back and hopefully the service will be as good as this time.

Very good food, really solid portions. There are several items from the Saarland region, so for those who love exploring through cuisine, this will definitely be a good choice.

First visit and direct hit! Nice, courteous staff combined with delicious Saarland food in a feel-good atmosphere. Well done? We'll definitely be back👍

We ate very well, very nice restaurant. Very friendly staff. Recommended for a nice evening in Saarbrücken.

Very tasty food and a cozy restaurant. The waitresses were all very friendly. We'd love to come back.

We ate at Zahm for the second time today and certainly NOT the last time. We noticed the first 18-year-old Philip in the service in an absolutely positive way. We hadn't made a reservation and were asked to go into the next room. After our order, we wished that our waitress Philip could go back to the dining room as soon as two seats became available. After a few minutes we were asked into the guest room. According to his own statement, Philip has actually only been working in the service department for 2 years and earns pocket money there. We felt noticed and served significantly better than we were used to from much older waitresses in other locations with significantly more service experience. Little things that round off the positive picture, such as wiping the table after the guest has eaten because the guest still wants to enjoy his bottle of wine & relighting the candle, which has now gone out, round off the positive picture of the service in the inn. The food came in a reasonable time and was even tasty. We'll be back, probably & hopefully we'll be served by Philip again. In any case, at his young age he is a gem for the catering service. The boss is lucky to have such a capable, young, attentive employee working for him. Keep it up dear Philip. Good service staff should stay on the ball so that they can become even better.

Main course not edible Complaint handling poor

Nice little place. The cuisine is French/German. Few but delicious wines, a beer that tastes good, the service is friendly, what more could you want.

Good little French-German restaurant in the center of Saarbrücken. Very good dish, cheap beer and quick service. The welcome is very pleasant and the decoration friendly. Highly recommended!

Great inn with fresh cuisine. Very nice reception. The atmosphere is very harmonious. I can only recommend.

We have enjoyed coming here for many years, perhaps the chef has changed, in any case, the atmosphere is very cozy as always, the service is friendly, but unfortunately the food leaves a lot to be desired. The salad is excellent but the sauces, especially the light ones, are just flour mush and this is the third time now so it's no exception. That's really a pity......

Price/performance ratio doesn't match, menu only old, tagged sheets, you really don't have to have them here, it's a shame that everything is out of date.

Merguez with salad and bulgur… excellent! Excellent regional, French and German cuisine. Recommended!

A cozy traditional inn. Service was super friendly and professional, food was delicious, everything was great. We can recommend!

The four of us just had dinner. The meal went like this, unfortunately the cook had completely forgotten the salt. The price/performance ratio is modest. The service is a bit slow and not attentive. The restaurant has better days behind it, everything seems worn out. The worst thing: the restaurant smells extremely like cooking. We left the restaurant after an hour and the clothes can now go to the dry cleaners.

The restaurant and its range of dishes seemed tempting, not run-of-the-mill dishes, but something from the region. Unfortunately we found it a bit unloving and the food was just good average. A few craft improvements can increase satisfaction for the future. In any case, the conditions did their best!

Das Curry-Gemüse mit Crevetten war sehr, sehr lecker. Der Grauburguder dazu ist sehr zu empfehlen! Das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis stimmt!

Rustikal eingerichtetes Restaurant mit französisch -saarländischer Küche. Das Personal ist sehr nett und aufmerksam. Die rustikale Gerichte schmecken sehr gut. Das Restaurant ist empfehlenswert für alle, die Saarbrücken besuchen.

Nettes, uriges Restaurant. Schönes Ambiente mitten in Saarbrücken. Essen war Durchschnitt: Fertigsauce und harte Pommes.

Wie hatten Weihnachtsfeier beim Gasthaus Zahm. Zu Essen bestellte ich das Gemüsecurry. Es war das schlechteste Curry was ich jemals gegessen habe. Das Curry schmeckte nur pfeffrig und bestand hauptsächlich aus Sellerie und einer Möhre. Der Chinaimbiss um die Ecke bereitet ein leckereres Curry zu als das Gasthaus Zahm. Warenwert des Currys max. ca. 5 bis 6 Euro und Preis 18 Euro. Das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis stimmt in diesem Restaurant nicht!

Très copieux. Plats abordables au niveau des prix.

Was a good experience I think it's a fine place to go back to. Look forward to that time

Das Essen war lecker,auf meine Knoblauchallergie wurde reagiert. Die Bedienung sehr freundlich. Wir waren zu viert das Essen der anderen war auch lecker. Das Ambiente etwas altbacken für meinen Geschmack. Aber wir kommen wieder,alles andere hat gepasst.✌️🍀

Sehr freundlich, das Essen ist echt super.

Tolles Restaurant in der Altstadt Saarbrücken,dicht am St. Johannes Markt gelegen. Ein schönes Ambiente lädt zum Verweilen ,Essen,Lachen ,Trinken ein. Egal ob Vorspeise ,Hauptgang oder Dessert.. ein Traum...auf den Punkt ubd mit Liebe gemacht. Nicht zu verachten sind auch die Nachspeisen von herzhaft bis amüsant süß. Eine schöne feine kleine Auswahl an Weinen unterstreicht das Ganze. Der Service war toll,zuvorkommend und mega freundlich,die Jungs hatten Alles,aber wirklich Alles im Blick ,sehr bemüht,nicht aufdringlich ,aber aufmerksam. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder. Herzlichen Dank für diese schöne Zeit....

Das Gasthaus Zahm ist ein kleines gemütliches Restaurant, das zum verweilen einlädt. Wir haben vorzüglich gespeist in einem schönen Ambiente, leicht rustikal angehaucht mit super Service und gutem Essen. Die Speisen waren vorzüglich und auf den Punkt verarbeitet und ein wahrer Hochgenuss. Es gab eine Auswahl an Köstlichkeiten, bei denen man sich nur schwer entscheiden konnte, da sie alle sehr lecker klangen. Wir hatten Lamm, Lachs, Miesmuscheln und einen Nierenteller sowie eine Vorspeise mit Schnecken. Diese Mahlzeiten waren alle sehr lecker und schnell am Tisch. Die Dessert Karte ist klein und übersichtlich und hat vorzüglich gemundet. Der Kaffee und die Weine waren vorzüglich und passen perfekt zum Essen. Der Service war herausragend. Obwohl das Haus voll war, waren die Servicekräfte sehr bemüht, herzlich und sehr engagiert da keine Wünsche offen. Wir können das Gasthaus nur wärmstens empfehlen und werden bei Gelegenheit gerne wieder dort speisen. Die Preise sind akzeptabel und selbst für einen schmalen Geldbeutel findet man hier auch etwas, damit man satt wird. Daher würde ich das Gasthaus Zahm uneingeschränkt empfehlen und freue mich schon auf unseren nächsten Besuch.

Personal sehr freundlich und aufmerksam. Toller Koch, sehr lecker. Immer wieder gerne. Danke

Ich wurde Anfang Juni bei einem Tagesausflug nach Saarbrücken von einem ehemaligen Saarbrücker auf dieses Restaurant hingewiesen und folgte dessen Tipp - zum Glück - das "Steak Tatar" (zum ersten Mal habe ich Tatar mit Pommes frites gegessen) schmeckte fantastisch, ebenso der Beilagensalat und die Oliven vorneweg. Das naturtrübe Zwickelbier ergänzte das leckere Essen perfekt. Die Bedienung war auch sehr freundlich. Gerne wieder! Nachdem ich dann die Rezensionen gelesen hatte und auf die "XXX"-Schikanen aufmerksam gemacht wurde, war das Gasthaus mir noch sympathischer geworden - schade, dass man keine 10 Sterne vergeben kann! Meine Rezension wurde seinerzeit von Google nicht gepostet, was ich aber erst jetzt (5 Monate später) mitbekommen habe! "XXX" steht übrigens für den Namen einer "Rechtsaußen-Partei", den zu nennen offenbar ein "Regelverstoß" war...!!!

Wirklich klasse, sehr guter Service, tolles Ambiente und die beste Creme Brulet die ich je gegessen habe.

Wir waren zum ersten Mal durch Zufall im Gasthaus Zahm und haben Rinderbäckchen gegessen,das Fleisch war so Butter zart das man kein Messer dafür benötigte. Wir waren nicht zum letzten Mal da.

Freundliche Mitarbeiter und sehr gutes Essen. Sehr zu empfehlen. War das erste mal hier, wird aber mit Sicherheit wiederholt.

Essen hat den erweckten Anspruch der Karte nur teilweise geschafft, lag aber wohl auch an meiner Erwartung wenn auf dem Schild elsässisch/lothringisch/französische Küche steht: Gruß aus der Küche, eingelegte Oliven mit Weißbrot passt, mein Essen: frittierte Fischlein sehr gut, Sülze sehr gut, Kartoffeln dazu nicht ganz (scheint aber saarländisches Thema zu sein, dass Bratkartoffeln aus schwäbischer Sicht Schwenkkartoffeln sind ;-)), Essen meiner Frau: Schweinelendchen waren leider überbraten (trocken), das muss nicht sein, Salat war gut. Ansonsten: Service junge Leute mit lockerer Art, ist für mich ok, Hatten Gelegenheit die Arbeitsabläufe in der Küche akustisch und tw. visuell mit zu bekommen, war witzig aber professionell ausbaufähig und eventuell auch die Ursache für die überbratenen Lendchen. Summa Summarum: Preis-Leistung stimmt, nette junge Leute, die sicher noch besser werden.

Una comida super alemana, y riquísima. Yo me tomé unas patatas con Kraut y salsa de bacon espectaculares. Además el sitio es agradable y te tratan muy bien.

Кухня не подвела. Поведение персонала на троечку. Нам здесь рады не были. Не хотелось бы верить, что это отношение к иностранцам.

Echt Top! Muss man probiert haben.. (-;

Long Story short.. wir waren in der Brauerei um die Ecke (mit Tischreservierung!!) haben aber nach über 20 min. warten, ohne bedient zu werden, das Weite gesucht und sind hier gelandet, Gottseidank! Selten solch freundliche Kellner gesehen, ein tolles Team! Das Essen war sehr lecker und auch zügig am Tisch, obwohl hier kein Tisch länger als 3 Minuten frei war. Wir hatten Glück im Unglück, vielen Dank 😊

Best meal of our 18 day trip round Europe. Had fillet steak and wiener schnitzel. Linda was top notch!

The staff was nice food was good 👍 😋

Klassisches Gasthaus gutes Essen faire Preise, gerne wieder

War spontan mit zwei Freundinnen in Saarbrücken Schönes Lokal

Muscheln mit Pommes, hat sehr gut geschmeckt, grosse Portion. Nettes Ambiente und freundlicher Service.

In einer schmalen Altstadtgasse haben wir hier ein sommerliches Ambiente im Aussenbereich gefunden. Wir wurden freundlichst bedient. Die Matjesheringe waren butterzart.

Superbe resto avec des plats traditionnels allemand. Le Schnitzel peut être commandé en version réduite si vous avez pas très faim et est toujours servi avec un assortiment des salades et frites Le personnel est très sympa

Wir hatten heute einen ganz tollen Abend, mit sehr leckerem Essen und einem erstklassigen Service. Sollten wir nochmal in Saarbrücken sein, kommen wir gerne wieder vorbei. Vielen Dank

La serveuse sympa ! Par contre, nous avons attendu très longtemps. Le cordon bleu était bon mais trop cuit. J’ai vraiment bien aimé le tartare au couteau.

Sehr schönes Ambiente am St. Johanner Markt. Guter Service und qualitativ sehr gutes Essen aus regionalen Produkten.

Ate the Wieners schnitzel, big portion. Yummy. Like the olives came with several pieces of bread when I sat down. The personeel is friendly.

Sehr schön gelegenes und nett eingerichtetes Restaurant in einer Fußgängerzone in Saarbrücken. Wir waren bereits das 3. mal dort und wurden noch nie enttäuscht. Der Service war flott und sehr freundlich, alles wurde zu unserer Zufriedenheit umgesetzt. Leckere Weine gibt es auch und die Weinkarte ist sehr reichhaltig. Die Küche ist französisch angehaucht und sehr gut. Als kleinen Gruß vorneweg gab es leckere Oliven und Flutes. Qualitativ sehr gutes Essen, mehr als ordentliche Portionen. Hier wird jeder satt. Wir kommen ganz sicher wieder 😀

Ende letzter Woche waren wir zu fünft (4 Erwachsene, ein Kind) im Gasthaus ZAHM in der Nähe vom Staatstheater. Der Gastraum ist sehr gemütlich. Die Speisekarte hat eine schöne Auswahl von großen und kleinen Gerichten. Zur Einstimmung gab es einen Gruß aus der Küche mit Oliven und leckerem Baguette. Wir bestellten Geschnetzeltes, Matjes, Hoorische und Hähnchenbrust, die teilweise mit Salaten serviert wurden. Sonderwünsche bei den Beilagen waren kein Problem, ebenso der Teller für das Kind zum „mitessen“. Den Abschluß bildeten Espressi macchiato. Das Essen kam sehr schnell. Es hat uns allen gut geschmeckt. Als ausgewanderte Saarländerin freut man sich besonders über die saarländischen Spezialitäten. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und aufmerksam.
