Restaurant Kloster Schiffenberg in Gießen

Friendly staff, regional dishes and a nice ambience.

Very satisfied, tasted great, they made a lot of effort for the guest :)

Very good service staff and great atmosphere

We had a wonderful evening at Schiffenberg Monastery. Delicious, high-quality food and very good service including really tasty, alcohol-free creations - thank you very much!

A concert by Santiano within these walls...indescribable

Super great ambience and great food!

Wir sitzen hier im fast leeren Biergarten, das einzige was hier lang ist, ist die Schlange im Kiosk. Es ist unglaublich wie viel geballte Unfähigkeit hier hinter dem Tresen zu finden ist.

Always great concerts in this atmosphere

We were there for the cultural summer to the concert by Insomnium and Amon Amarth. A great location, food and drink was good, although the price was on the higher side. Toilets were great. Shuttle buses and everything was very well organized. We'll be there again next year for the right bands.

Were at the Santiano concert and had VIP tickets. From the restaurant we had a good view of the concert stage. The food/buffet was very plentiful and also very tasty, the staff was courteous, friendly and quick.

What about VIP tickets for the Santiano concert? Great ambience and good service.

Nettes Ausflugsziel mit Biergarten und Platz zum entspannen. Preis Leistung verhältnismäßig gut, zumindest im Biergarten.

Although the monastery and restaurant do not have normal opening hours during the Giessen Cultural Summer, this correction is missing from both the Google entry and the homepage. It is embarrassing when in August under “News” there is an entry for the 2023 Christmas market from November 2023. Really a shame

Beautiful location. So far I have visited a medieval market and two concerts there. The medieval market is of course a perfect fit there because of the old walls. But I especially have positive memories of the concerts. I deducted one point because you are “swept out” straight after the concerts and then the transport with the shuttle buses takes a very long time. We stood for an hour and there were many who waited much longer. There are a lot of buses running, but it is of course clear that 5,000 people cannot be transported in the blink of an eye. It would be nice if the concept were reconsidered and corrected. Either you leave people on the site longer or you send more buses.

Went to the concert at Bosse's. Very nice atmosphere. Great mood.

Very good food, excellent service. We'd love to come back.

Food from the kiosk in the monastery garden (curry sausage with fries, Alsatian tarte flambée and wood-fired bread) was very good 👍

We had to wait a very long time for our food. My salad was a bit shrunken and no longer crunchy. I also sorted out leaves with dark spots. When dessert came, the plates from the main course were not cleared away. Some plates were left until we left. We didn't get any more drinks towards the end.

Nice for a trip near Giessen. Good view from the monastery complex

A great restaurant with flair and atmosphere. It also has a lot to offer in terms of cuisine - it's worth trying!

As part of a festive birthday party, we took the opportunity to stop at this establishment for lunch. To our astonishment, we were initially presented with a very shortened menu. After some expressions of dissatisfaction were raised about the fact that the entire menu was available at neighboring tables, the staff reluctantly gave in and pointed out that the kitchen was supposedly overloaded, which was also supposedly caused by absences due to illness. The Wiener Schnitzel I served turned out to be quite acceptable, but my companion's salad contained mushrooms with remains of soil still attached to the stems, and the César dressing had unfortunately already been used up. Apart from the assurance that the unclean mushrooms would be reported to the kitchen, the staff made no effort to make amends, for example by offering a schnapps or coffee, which would actually be in keeping with the customs of a good establishment. What should be emphasized, however, is that the ladies in the service staff often asked about our drink requests and fulfilled them promptly. Although I generally like this establishment very much and always enjoy visiting it, the experience described leaves a touch of uncertainty about future visits. Such an incident leaves me with regret and thoughtful hesitation as to whether I will avail myself of the hospitable amenities of this establishment again in the near future.

I ordered a traditional Wiener Schnitzel. The accompaniment was very good, but the fillet was not so good, the batter failed a little. Very friendly people.

Bad service. I lost one of my earrings at an event at Schiffenberg Monastery. I sent a request via the contact form to see if it was found/delivered. after 3 weeks still no response...

Simply cozy, beautiful view, great food, great staff always very attentive, totally reasonable in terms of price

Very nice restaurant in a great location. Unfortunately, the restaurant and beer garden were fully occupied and it took 60 minutes from order to delivery. Main course another 30'. The quality of the food makes up for it somewhat.

Super dear attentive team, delicious food and a wonderful ambience. Price performance top. Any time. :)

The crumb cake from the kiosk was dry and just crumbs. Is not recommended. There was no water in the toilet to wash your hands again, like last week.

Very nice staff, fine food. Very good, I would like to come back.

Very tasty food, nice atmosphere. Unfortunately we were “shown the door” towards the end. Table cleared a bit loudly...

Very tasty, fresh food. Fast, friendly and motivated service. Nice ambience.

Beautiful beer garden in historic walls in the middle of nature. One of the most beautiful excursion destinations around Giessen

Even though we were uncomfortable sitting outside due to the weather, the food was worth it! Really really tasty. The greeting from the kitchen was well received by everyone. But best of all with my daughter (1 year old) she would have liked to eat more of the salad.

*I wanted some ice cream* -"we don't have that anymore" - *I look for an alternative on the overview, no ice cream is crossed out* -"We don't have that anymore either" - *I ask which one is still available* - he lists 8 flavors of ice cream - *I choose one* - He gives me another one at a price that neither matches the one I chose nor what he spent - *it's too colorful for me, I pay and disappear*

Nice location in summer, not many options for shelter when it rains

The food is homemade, no convenience. The chef knows his craft and you can taste it. The ingredients are high quality. Everything is beautifully prepared, because the eye is also there. There are ceramic plates in the shape of a shovel especially for the Schippe monastery. The employees are very friendly and have immense knowledge, which is no longer a given these days. Allergy sufferers are catered for and we conjure up very good tasting dishes that are tailored to their respective allergies. The ambience is also wonderful.

We were married in a civil ceremony at Schiffenberg Monastery and were then there for an aperitif reception and a 3-course meal in the restaurant. The quality and taste of the food was excellent, the service and friendliness were brilliant, the drinks were delicious, the price was absolutely fair and the coordination before the celebration was extremely courteous and easy. We spent a wonderful and unforgettable day there in a great atmosphere and are very pleased to have chosen this restaurant and to be able to recommend it without reservation. What was also great was that dogs were allowed in the restaurant. Thanks to the whole team!

Service überfordert, SEHR lange Wartezeiten, ohne dass es voll war und ausreichend Personal vorhanden war. Das Essen viel zu teuer bei der Qualität. „Wiener Schnitzel“ wirklich SCHLECHT, nicht wirklich frisch gemacht, trocken & verbrannte Panade. Soße kalt und darauf wartet man dann 1,5 Stunden für 39€???? Nie wieder

Nice place and highlight in Giessen. Between the wall and the parking lot, it's a great place to celebrate or lie in the sun. We often come here for class reunions.

Eating currywurst with fries at the stall was good. You sit nicely

A wonderful place for any kind of celebration: great food and great service. We will definitely celebrate here again. Thanks!

A wonderful place for any kind of celebration: great food and great service.

Sehr zuvorkommender Service, niemals aufdringlich. Sehr gute Küche, große Portionen, aber mit der Möglichkeit Reste mitzunehmen.

Gutes Essen, es ging alles sehr schnell. Dad Service Personal ist zuvorkommend und nett. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

I thought the dishes tasted great, you can tell that effort is made to serve classic dishes in a modern way and prepare them well. We really liked it and the backdrop of the monastery grounds is very beautiful.

Gelungener Abend in schönem Ambiente mit tollem Service

Great restaurant and great ambience. Have been here several times and have never been disappointed. The food is very tasty and the price-performance ratio is definitely right. Service is very nice and attentive. It's always a pleasure to come here.

Sehr empfehlenswert. Ausnahme: Die Musik war furchtbar langsam.

Ein hervorragendes Restaurant mit perfekten Mahlzeiten.

Super nice location, great food and super nice staff.... Definitely worth a visit and we would love to come back

Schiffenberg Monastery is simply a wonderful location to sit in the beer garden in peace and quiet in the sun and enjoy a cool beer. If you're hungry, the kiosk also has some inexpensive items to offer. The view over the plains is beautiful and special, the sunsets are a real highlight for real romantics and nature lovers!

Fantastisches Essen, klasse Service und guter Preis, alles in allem TOP. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Unser Tisch war für 12.00 Uhr reserviert. Leider wurde uns mitgeteilt, dass der Tisch um 13.00 schon wieder vergeben war. Es wurde uns zwar ein Aperitif und ein Espresso serviert, aber wir mussten den Platz nach 1 Stunde freigeben. Ich werde dieses Lokal sicher nicht mehr besuchen. .

Extremely tasty food, quite large portions.

Very tasty food. Great atmosphere

Delicious. Service was very good.

Very nice location. Food was delicious and pleasant all round

Der Aufenthalt im Restaurant war super, sehr guter Service, kein langes Warten auf das Essen. Die Speisen haben sehr gut geschmeckt. Wir werden wieder kommen.

Sehr lecker, aufmerksamer Service. Einziger Negativpunkt: den Tisch direkt gegenüber der Eingangstür würden wir beim nächsten Besuch nicht gerne haben.

On Friday evening we had dinner at the Kloster Schiffenberg restaurant around 5:30 p.m. A reservation in advance is highly recommended as the restaurant was quite full late in the evening. The atmosphere is rustic yet elegant. The service was extremely friendly and accommodating. The menu includes traditional Hessian dishes. The special thing is that there is a lot of emphasis on regionality, for example the beef comes from Vogelsberg etc. I find that very rare at the moment in times of Metro and Co. and it has impressed me positively. There are also dishes for vegetarians, but unfortunately I could only find one for vegans or the starters, which I know from many other restaurants. I chose a rump steak, which was cooked to perfection, covered in a gentle herb/salt crust and accompanied by hearty fried potatoes. In terms of price, it is in the higher segment, which is absolutely fine given the regional selection of ingredients. Thank you ! See you soon !

I had ordered a small arrangement for my birthday. Everything was implemented exactly as I wanted, a small change at short notice was no problem. Everything went smoothly and quickly. The staff was very attentive, no one sat in front of an empty glass. Absolute recommendation, gladly again!

Und hat es sehr gut gefallen. Anregung: für Senioren kleinere Portionen anbieten

Das Essen war sehr lecker. Ich hatte Breznknödel mit Champignons und ganz toller Soße. Es war sehr ausreichend, so dass ich heute nochmal in den Genuss kam.

Very good food, well-trained staff, great atmosphere, always happy

Gutbürgerliches Restaurant mit gehobener Küche und dementsprechend die Preise.

Sehr hochwertige Küche und schönes Restaurant. Empfehlenswert

Unfortunately, our experience at the Kloster Schiffenberger restaurant was disappointing. The food was OK, but not outstanding. Portions were large. Unfortunately the service completely disappointed us. Side salad came after the food had already been eaten (unfortunately forgotten). After the main course, the service staff kept walking past our table but not once was a plate cleared away. We waited patiently and hoped that at some point someone would take pity and clear our table (6 people), unfortunately in vain. Then someone came to ask for coffee and our hope rose again that the table would finally be clean... but even then no plate was taken away. When the coffee/espresso was served, they tried to put it between the plates we were using. At that moment we had to say something and ask the table to be cleared first. Completely annoyed, he was then cleared away. It's a shame because we were looking forward to a lovely evening which was very dampened by this unfortunately very unprofessional service.

The food was very good as always. The service... more than great. Very rarely is there such attentive and friendly service. Excellent !

Hier stimmt einfach alles! Danke für einen wunderbaren Abend.

Schönes Ambiente. Leider waren die Speisen ziemlich enttäuschend und die Preis-/Leistungsrelation nicht angemessen. Besonders schlecht war das Kalbsschnitzel. Unzureichende Fleischqualität, die mit einem Steaker behandelt wurde. Die Panade war so dick, dass sie im Ganzen abfiel. Für fast d 30,- Euro eine Zumutung. Beim Duroc Kotelett waren die Kartoffel verbrannt und schwammen in einem Haufen Fett. Auch die Frische und das Dressing des Salat hatten erhebliches Ausbaupotential nach oben. Insgesamt eine riesige Enttäuschung.

Das Ambiente des ehemaligen Klosters ist sehr gemütlich. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und aufmerksam. Das Essen sehr lecker. Ich hatte einen Mönchssalat mit Balsamicodressing und Thunfisch, welcher ausgezeichnet geschmeckt hat und sehr reichlich war.

We were in the restaurant for the first time. The service was top, very on the ball and always at the table. For starters we had carpaccio. But this was cut very thick and could hardly be divided. The balsamic vinegar was also missing. An attentive waitress saw that we were not happy and the plate was exchanged. The new starter was as requested and very tasty. The main courses, roulades and mullet, are also highly recommended.

Sehr leckeres Essen, super Service, mit Herz dabei. Sehr angenehm, immer wieder ein Besuch wert.

Service bestens, Essen sehr gut, Bedienung superfreundlich. Die Räumlichkeit war leider, da man ruhig sitzt, etwas zu kalt.

Das Essen war immer sehr gut und der Service flott , freundlich und immer präsent! Sehr gerne wieder

The food was great, the service was great and I really liked the atmosphere

sehr nette Bedienung, schönes Ambiente! Gehobene Küche

So kurz wie möglich; so lange wie nötig... wundervoll: das Ambiente und die dezente Hintergrundmusik; super nette Bedienung; das Essen hervorragend - und ich habe so gut wie noch nie ein so köstliches Dessert gegessen. Gerne wieder!

Super leckeres Essen und sehr nette und gute gelaunte Mitarbeiter

Leider kam unser Essen und Nachspeise ziemlich kalt an den Tisch.

Since we were in the area today we finally went there. Before or after you can take a wonderful walk through the forest on site. We were warmly welcomed in the restaurant and the atmosphere makes you feel at home. The food was also excellent: baked pretzel dumplings and Viennese-style schnitzel. For dessert we shared a delicious Kaiserschmarren. We felt very comfortable and will definitely come back again.

Were there for the Christmas party, after 1.5 hours there was nothing left on the grill, apparently the gas was empty. Unfortunately I have to give 1 star, otherwise it would be "0"

Im Gegensatz zu einem vorherigen Essen war es an Weihnachten ernüchternd. Fisch zu lange gegart, Esskastanien roh - und ansonsten Essen, was definitiv nicht zu dem aufgerufen Preis passt. Schade, denn ein weiteres, gutes Restaurant wäre für Gießen super. Zum Ambiente: stark abgenutzte Stühle und ungemütliche Tische, bei den die Tischbeinplatte zwischen den Beinen ist. Nicht wirklich gemütlich. Wir werden es zukünftig meiden.

Ambiente und Service war sehr gut. Es war allerdings sehr kühl im Raum. Die Auswahl der Speisen einfach zu gering. Bei den Hauptgerichten breiige Beilagen nicht sehr schmackhaft. Keine Auswahl bei der Nachspeise Törtchen war bereits länger vorbereitet Baiser matschig üppig. An einem Feiertag /Menü werde ich definitiv nicht mehr reservieren.

Sehr aufmerksamer Service und das Essen sehr lecker. Vielen Dank!

Wunderschöner kleiner Weihnachtsmarkt

Super freundliches Personal, tolles Essen, immer wieder gerne

Waren bereits mehrmals dort und das Essen und der Service waren immer top! Auch mit unserem Hund wurden wir immer freundlich empfangen 😊

Mit Kollegen haben wir uns hier zur Weihnachtsfeier getroffen. Das Restaurant war proppenvoll, dank Reservierung hatten wir einen guten Platz. Sehr weihnachtliches Ambiente im und vor dem Restaurant. Das Essen hat allen gut geschmeckt, der Service war ausgezeichnet. Sehr freundliches und aufmerksames Personal. Einziger Wermutstropfen: wir haben über 2 Stunden auf unser Essen gewartet. Unter normalen Umständen hätte ich das Restaurant längst wieder verlassen. Schade, sonst war wirklich alles perfekt.

Tolles Ambiente, gerade zur Winterzeit mit dem Winterwäldchen und dem kleinen Weihnachtsmarkt im Innenhof. Das Essen schmeckt immer hervorragend. Die Mitarbeiter:innen sind toll, super Service, sehr aufmerksam.

Wir waren das erste Mal vor Ort (bis dahin nur Abholung während der Corona Zeit) und sind begeistert. Das Essen war super lecker, der Service perfekt. Die Preise sind angemessen (Achtung: bei Opentable sind nicht die aktuellen Preise hinterlegt!).

Gemütliches und stilvolles Ambiente in einer mittelalterlicher Klosteranlage. Sehr freundliche und angenehme Bedienung. Waren mit einer größeren Gruppe dort zum Weihnachtsessen. Das Essen war sehr lecker, wir hatten alle einheitlich klassischen Gänsebraten mit Beilagen vorbestellt und waren echt zufrieden. Preis-Leistung ist im Großen und Ganzen angemessen. Großer Parkplatz direkt in der Nähe vom Kloster, ca. 5 min. zu Fuß.Ich denke die meisten unserer Gruppe kommen gerne wieder!

Das Essen (Gans mit Rotkohl und allem) war sehr lecker, der Service sehr freundlich und bemüht, Wartezeit bis zum Servieren etwas lang, das Restaurant war aber auch ausgebucht und daher verständlich.

Mega, die Betreiber der Schiffenberg-Gastro, haben einen sehr kleinen, sehr feinen Weihnachtsmarkt gezaubert. Gepflegte Gastlichkeit. Top,top, top. DANKE 🙏

Gestern im Rahmen einer Firmenweihnachtsfeier das erste mal dort gewesen. Das Ambiente auf dem Weihnachtsmarkt ist sehr schön und gemütlich. Auch der Glühwein schmeckt super. Anschließend gab es noch Buffet im Innern des Gebäudes. Hier herrscht ebenso ein tolles gemütliches Ambiente und das Essen war super lecker. Sehr empfehlenswert.

Stilvolles Ambiente. Super freundliche und angenehme Bedienung. Leckeres Essen - Rouladen wie bei Omi. SUPER zufrieden, kommen sehr gerne wieder! Von uns glatte 10 Sterne 🌟

The restaurant is traditional, the ambience is nice. The food tasted great, they serve a large portion. I ordered Gebackene BrezenKnödel, it tasted delicious.

Sehr schön gelegen, mit etwas laufen sind kostenfreie Parkplätze kein Thema. Tolles Ambiente, sehr freundlicher Service durch engagierte Mitarbeiter. Das Essen von sehr guter Qualität ohne dass es einen vom Sitz haut. Größe der Portionen nicht üppig, aber noch ausreichend ohne als Seniorenteller bezeichnet zu werden. Zahlung ist mit gängigen Kreditkarten möglich. Brauchst du auch bei den Preisen. "Günstig" ist anders. Überteuert kann man aber auch nicht sagen. Ambiente, Service und Qualität kostet nunmal 💸💰. 5,20 € für ein alkoholfreies Weizen, 17,90 für ein 🐷 Schnitzel sind ambitioniert. 3,90 für eine Sauce sind -für die Menge die man bekommt - heftig. Serviert in einer riesen Sauciere verliert sich das bisschen Sauce. Kein Restaurant in das man täglich geht, aber auch auf keinen Fall ein Reinfall.

Fantastisch wie immer! Wir haben Salat, Cordon Bleu, Schnitzel, Kaiserschmarrn, Lebkuchenmousse gegessen.

Wir waren seit langem mal wieder mit Freunden dort zum Essen. Es hat uns insgesamt wirklich gut gefallen. Vor allem das Essen war wirklich lecker. Die Speisekarte ist zwar überschaubar, aber besser klein und dafür gut. Die Location gehört sicher mit zum Besten, was Gießen zu bieten hat. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und flott unterwegs. Die Rinderroulade hätte meine Mutter auch nicht besser hinbekommen – und das will was heißen. Aufgrund dieser Erfahrung kann ich das Lokal nur empfehlen.

War mal wieder ein sehr schöner Abend mit sehr leckerem Essen!
