Restaurant Klosterkatz in Maulbronn

Wonderful restaurant with a mix of Italian and German tastes. Customer service was great and very friendly!

Very nice place to enjoy a piece of cake and a coffee.

Staff were very helpful and friendly and understanding with my limited German. I came for coffee and cake. But I definitely want to come again to try their pasta.

War leider eine Enttäuschung. Pizzen waren nicht schmackhaft und alle sehr spärlich belegt. Preise insgesamt sehr überteuert, auch in Anbetracht der Lage wirklich überzogen. Die vegetarischen Maultaschen auf dem Salat schmeckten leider nicht als ob sie wie auf der Karte angegeben selbst gemacht sind. Da gibt es in der näheren Umgebung wirklich weitaus bessere „Italiener“! Schade, denn die Location ist wirklich toll.

Very nice environment in which the restaurant fits in wonderfully

Super nice atmosphere. Service and friendliness of the staff leave a lot to be desired. In some cases you were even a bit speechless. Fried Maultaschen were very dry and tasteless, but the salad was very tasty.

Unfortunately, after the change of tenant, there is no longer any recommendation: I strongly recommend checking the map and the prices first. Great location right in the monastery and the interior is nicely done and clean But: Pizza bread EUR 7.50, grilled octopus EUR 31, seafood salad as a starter EUR 21, fish from EUR 32, meat on the same level. Wine from a factor of 4 of the purchase price. Really cheeky, because the food is just okay, but really far away from the price level. Plus cooler and wooden (not necessarily unfriendly) service. Note: The vegetarian Maultaschen are definitely ready-made and difficult to eat. I recommend taking a look at the Michelin Guide online, there are various recommendations even with stars in the area - at really lower prices!!!

Nice restaurant, good food and drink in a cozy environment. Ate a good piece of meat.

Very nice café in the monastery courtyard. Delicious cakes and small, fine but selected dishes and snacks

We followed the chef's suggestion: spaghetti with fresh chanterelles, there were as many chanterelles as spaghetti 👍😜 delicious!!!

Beautiful historical environment in the monastery grounds. Excellent Maultaschen, we really enjoyed it, thank you!

Very tasty food, nice location and the service was great. We went here for lunch with a large group. The service was very fast, friendly and really thought of everything, including any special requests.

Went to the monastery today and wanted to have a nice meal afterwards. We chose the octopus. The whole thing should cost 33 euros per person. There was also a side salad + Italian bread. In the end we had two arms on the plate. The octopus was way overcooked. You could hardly get through with a knife. The side salad consisted of green lettuce, two cucumber slices and grated carrot. The dressing was pure vinegar and way too much of it. Nothing was convincing in terms of taste. When we asked how we liked it, there was an honest answer. There was no reaction or an “oh, we’re sorry.” The price/performance ratio did not convince us. There's still cake. Maybe it's better, but we can't tell. The interior design is average, the courtyard is romantic also due to the historical buildings around it.

Beautifully located, friendly atmosphere and good food. Always a safe choice

The pizzas are not recommended because the pizza dough was kind of tough and hard to cut! - Prices too expensive.

Incredibly slow to get our order. Food is okay but overpriced.

Super Lokal. Sehr schnelle und freundliche Bedienung, das Essen wirklich hervorragend! Und ein Espresso wie in Italien!

Today, August 17th, 2024, I was in this restaurant for the first time and I already know one thing, it wasn't the last time. I have a ritual like this: if I visit a restaurant that has lasagna al forno on the memory card, I have to eat it. Because if the lasagne is good to very good, then I can be 90% confident that everything else is great. I paid 14.90 EU for the lasagna with extra garlic and it was worth every cent. Excellent sauce, the right amount of cheese, the pasta plates on point. During the 15 minutes of waiting, I of course also looked around at the tables of the other guests and what I saw was simply delicious. Salads, pizza, Maultaschen, fish, etc. And you could see that people enjoyed it. The service was very nice and helpful, I got the lasagne to take away and received it in an aluminum tray, maybe maybe maybe that could be changed and brought to my location in a paper bag. Unfortunately the entrance door has a step so you need someone to help with a wheelchair, but the outside area is easy to navigate with a wheelchair. Many thanks to the team at Restaurant Klosterkatz, especially the great people in the kitchen😃👍

Very nice restaurant in the middle of the monastery courtyard with a beautiful view of the monastery. I've eaten here several times and it's always been delicious 👍🏻

The Language Barrier creates problems in making yourself understood...😅 but otherwise we had pizzas and frankly they were very good 👍🏻🤤 And what's more we were able to buy their excellent Maulbronner beer!!🍻

The place itself is a house number. Mastering the balancing act between tourist catering and a restaurant is not easy. So it was okay

Wir hatten eine Reservierung mit 6 Personen zu einem Geburtstags-Mittagsessen. Die Karte bietet für jeden Geschmack etwas an. Leider gibt es zu allen Gerichten als Beilage Pizzabrot, was zu den wenigsten Gerichten wirklich passt. Egal ob zum Zwiebelrostbraten oder zum Zanderfilet. Die zusätzlich wählbare Beilagenauswahl ist sehr begrenzt und extrem teuer. Da zu einem Zwiebelrostbraten, welcher nur mit Salat und Pizzabrot angeboten wird, bei aller Liebe keine Pizzabrot passt, bestellten wir Rosmarinkartoffeln. Ob die wirklich dazu passen sei dahingestellt. Das war aber die einzig annähernd passende Beilage dazu. Bei der Bestellung des Rostbratens von über 30€ wurde übrigens nicht gefragt in welcher Garstufe man diesen gerne geniessen möchte. Die Rosmarinkartoffeln, welche mit fast 10 € extra berechnet werden, bestehen aus TK-Kartoffelscheiben aus dem Großmarkt, welche durch die Friteuse gezogen wurden. Darüber gestreut ein paar vereinzelte Rosmarinnadeln. Der Beilagensalat war gut gemischt, aber leider nicht sonderlich gut angemacht. Maulbronn ist bekannt für die Erfindung der Maultaschen, welche hier auch in verschiedenen Varianten angeboten werden. Man da dann auch eine gewisse Erwartungshaltung. Klassische Maultaschen mit Bratensoße und Kartoffelsalat werden zu fast 20€ angeboten. Serviert werden inkl. Beilagensalat und Pizzabrot (?!) 3 gerollte Maultaschen, welche okay waren, ein kleinen Kännchen Bratensoße, auch okay und maximal 2 gehäufte Esslöffel Kartoffelsalat, welcher schön flach gedrückt wird, dass es nach mehr aussieht. Die Krönung allerdings ist, dass es sich um fertigen Kartoffelsalat aus dem Eimer handelt. Das ist wirklich ein Frechheit und eine Schande. Gehobene Preise lassen auch gute Qualität erwarten. Wir waren gerne bereit für entsprechende Qualität dementsprechend zu zahlen, da wir wissen, dass die Preise, Energiepreise und Mwst, sowie Personalkosten gestiegen sind, aber das hier schreit nach Touristenabzocke. Die Dame, die uns bedient hat, war freundlich und hat uns schnell bedient. Leider können wir das Restaurant nicht weiter empfehlen.

A must when visiting Maulbronn Monastery!

Simple beer garden, nice staff, simple but good food, Maultaschen and tarte flambée, fresh draft beer, ideal for a cycling break.

Food was nothing special now. It was ok. The portion is ok, but if you're hungry, not everyone will be full. Price-performance doesn't fit in my opinion. Service was pretty slow at first, but got better. We sat outside, it was nice.

We have been here many times and enjoyed it too. Today was a special evening and we were very happy. The service was, as always, very friendly and accommodating. Unfortunately our meat was very salty and so was the sauce from the second dish. The response to the complaint was rather sparing and "cautious". Which in itself is an indictment. At some point someone came and the only question was what should we do with the meat? We were then offered that the tomato soup we had ordered as a replacement would not be booked and that we could each get an affogato. The cook was of the opinion that the meat was not oversalted. The waitress tried to get another employee to book out the meat for €33.50 because we didn't end up eating it. All that was made was the succinct comment that the chef was in love and that something like that could happen before. I was actually at a loss for words and I especially felt sorry for the waitress, who was the only one who apologized and tried to resolve the situation in the guest's best interests. We are aware that the restaurant, due to its prominent location, does not rely on the two of us, but it is really telling how we were treated. We were definitely there for the last time. It's a shame actually... P.S. The salt is more than clearly visible...

Apparently they don't value serving guests here. We were registered upon arrival, and ignored from then on. No regrets (“Wait a minute, someone’s coming soon”), nothing. In hindsight, no loss. Watching the people sitting next to you eat has caused back pain because the outdoor chairs are far too low for the tables. Naturally, there's nothing left to report about the food, and we definitely won't find out.

Perhaps we could have said something about the quality of the food if someone had agreed to serve us. In any case, we were seen. There it was again, the service desert of Germany.

We were only there for a coffee, but it was very tasty.

Just had something to drink. Really very nice surroundings, but not exactly cheap

Be sure to order Maultaschen according to Brother Jakob!

An extensive menu with pasta, pizza and Italian cuisine (fish, meat), but also various versions of Maultaschen. Attractive selection of wines, courteous service. We spent a very nice evening there!

Unique ambience with a view of the monastery! Top service, great cuisine.

Tolles Restaurant Super Essen, Tolle Mitarbeiter und hervorragendes Ambiente! Immer wieder gerne wir lieben es!🤩🤩

Excellent local food, cooks international cuisine. Pleasant service, everything was fast. Pleasant and contemporary environment.

Very nice, cozy restaurant, nice to sit inside and out. Pleasant atmosphere. Fast, courteous staff. Food very good and tasteful. We would also like to go there with our visitors. Recommended.

I returned to the Klosterkatz again. My guests and I were thrilled: friendly and quick service, including the other staff. Pleasant atmosphere and great food, what more could you want!!

The Klosterkatz restaurant also sells delicious open 🍨 ice cream as a street sale. Unfortunately, on sunny days you have to queue for a long time. Cashless payment would noticeably speed up the process and optimize it hygienically. You can no longer understand this complicated process once you have seen how quickly ice cream sales can take place abroad. Absolutely out of date.

Once again impressively good food!

The location is in the monastery courtyard, very nice ambience...We were here to eat pizza, pizzas are nothing special, you can get better elsewhere in town...the service wasn't attentive at all, which is why we sat in front of an empty glass for a good 20 minutes. ..not a bon appetit or a treat, but a “have fun” for dessert??? The prices adapt to the ambience. Unfortunately not recommended

Die Bedienung war etwas langsam. Qualität der Speisen gut. Alles sehr überteuert. Z.B kleiner Beilagensalat 9,80 obwohl in der Speisekarte stand alle Salate mit Pizzabrot wurde das Brot nicht gereicht.

We sat in the courtyard of the medieval monastery - very romantic! The service was friendly and you didn't have to wait long. The food - Italian/Mediterranean - was delicious and the prices were typical in the area.

Great location, great service & food! We will be back!

Unfortunately, a lot of things that you can order aren't listed on the menu...

Well organized, even though it was full, we were served quickly. We had coffee and cake. The cake tastes good, as does the coffee

Great cozy atmosphere, super friendly service and tasty, lovingly prepared food. Gladly again.

Restaurant / ice cream parlor Klosterkatz - in a historic building in the monastery courtyard. Delicious pizza, pasta, good ice cream and much more!

Delicious, what more could you want.

We only had a cappuccino but it was excellent!

First the good, the bruschetta is great. BUT: The service is a disaster...! Employees walk past the table many times with empty hands... Some tables are full of empty glasses, then another person walks past with an (!) empty cup... Guests shorten the unbelievable waiting times by carrying dishes in from outside themselves, what a wonder a disorganized mess. Then a lady from the service complains that the prepared drinks are standing there, the stuff sometimes sits around for five minutes or longer, the service people walk past it empty-handed... You're just making things difficult for yourself here.

Bad, microwaved food. The only thing that was convincing was the potato salad. The meal of the day (dumplings with artichokes) was also not convincing. You had to look for the artichokes. The bruschetta was drowned in olive oil. It's a shame, we've eaten much better here.

We came here for coffee. Coffee and cake were super delicious. The staff was very friendly. Very nice atmosphere.

High end Italian restaurant in the Maulbronn monastery courtyard. Friendly service and cozy atmosphere.

Very tasty food and a large selection of fish.

Great New Year's Eve menu with very friendly service! We are looking forward to the next time

The grilled octopus with lemon, garlic and a little herbs was absolutely great. Plus a pizza bread. First choice! The ambience is also very appealing in the time-honored house.

The Italian restaurant in the middle of Maulbronn Monastery is rustic and cozy. I found the food to be comparatively expensive, which would be ok if the value was right. That was definitely not the case with my Octopus for €32. Tends to be tough, the stock is too sour, the side dishes are unimaginative and the language on the plate doesn't match the price. Apart from that, it was on the grill too long and was quite black. It's a shame, I had imagined better.

beautiful old building in the monastery complex, delicious monastery beer

Very tasty food, which was served to us super quickly. Make sure you're hungry, the portions are good! We were warmly welcomed and served well, and the atmosphere is a great combination of rustic and modern.

Delicious food, nice service, would be happy again

Everything was great, but unfortunately you were asked to leave at 9 p.m. on a Friday evening.

We sat in there, it was really nice. Service ok. I found Caesar's salad with yoghurt dressing to have way too much dressing, so unfortunately I already had it on it. Extra would be better. Taste ok.

Essen war sehr gut. Draußen kann man gemütlich sitzen. Gerne wieder

Ein nettes Restaurant in einem sehr schönen alten Haus. Hier gibt es Pizza und Nudelgerichte und als Spezialität Maultaschen. Wir hatten die Variante mit Steinpilzen, die sehr lecker war. Die Lage des Restaurants innerhalb der Klostermauern ist schön.

Waren leider total überlastet. Die Kuchen die wir bekommen haben, waren sehr lecker. Es waren halt nur drei für 6 Personen.

Traumhaftes Restaurant. Ich kam hier zwei Tage in Folge mit meiner Familie und Freunden, da ich meine Hochzeit in Maulbronn gefeiert habe. Der Service von M. war einfach nur top, so freundlich und aufmerksam. Das Essen ist unglaublich gut. Und das Ambiente drinnen und draußen mit Blick auf das Kloster einmalig. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder.

Das Essen war nicht so wie erwartet. Spaghetti mit Riesengarnelen versprochen aber es kamen Spaghetti mit Zwerggarnelen. Das schlimmste waren die Spaghetti, mehrere waren am Stück zusammengeklebt, dementsprechend nicht richtig gegart sondern noch hart. Pizza carpaccio mit Rucola : Es war maximal ein Serrano Schinken darauf anstatt Carpaccio und dieser komplett trocken. Rucola war auch ohne jegliche Marinade.Fazit:Ich gebe dem Lockal nich eine Chance, weil ich dort auch schon gut gegessen habe.

Die Aussengastronomie ist schön im Innenhof vom Kloster Maulbronn gelegen. Leider gab es um 15 Uhr kein Mittagessen, so haben wir uns Käsekuchen und Kaffee als "Ersatz" bestellt. Die Bedienung war aufmerksam und freundlich, der Kuchen lecker, der Kaffee ok.

Back here for the first time after five years. So pleased to see that they still serve the best coffee in the entire region. Fantastic!

Sehr nette, flotte Bedienung. Essen gut. Ambiente historisch, leider keine Aussicht, da in Innenbereich gelegen.

Perfekte Mischung aus guten Essen, gemütlichem Ambiente und guten Service. Man fühlt sich ein wenig wie im Urlaub. Immer wieder gerne.

Gutes Essen im schönen Klosterhof.

Alles top und empfehlenswert! Bei urigen Ambiente mit leckerem Essen verwöhnen lassen. Auch für ein romantisches Essen hervorragend geeignet!!

Hier Pause bei Motorrad Tour gemacht. Sehr Nett und toller Spot!

Uriges Restaurant mit sehr leckerem Essen. Die Maultaschen waren hervorragend. Bedienung sehr freundlich. Leicht gehobene Preisklasse aber nicht übertreiben.

Super restaurant en plein coeur de l'abbey medievale. J'ai pris la specialite locale les maultashen aux champigons. Excellant!

Super tolles Restaurant. Der Service war mega freundlich und sehr zuvorkommend. Essen war spitze!

Preis Leistung stimmen klar zum weiterempfehlen. Service freundlich aufmerksam am neben Tisch hat er einem älteren unschlüssigen Paar empfohlen nur einen Salat zur Pizza zunehmen da dieser sehr groß und mit Pizzabrot ist. Richtige Entscheidung. Pizza, Salat, Tortellini, Maultaschen und Zwiebelrostbraten alles geschmeckt.

Ein sehr tolles Ambiente in mitten vom Kloster. Die Vorspeise Garnelen war ultra lecker. Die Hauptspeisen Wahl war nicht perfekt. Nudeln und Pizza gibt es beim Italiener besser, aber zum Fisch essen perfekt.

Leider sind die Tische m Freien viel zu klein. Wir saßen zu viert am Tisch und hatten die Brotkörbchen auf dem Schoß, da auf dem Tisch kein Platz mehr war. Die Stühle sind leider auch sehr unbequem und passen nicht zu der Höhe des Tisches. Das Essen war gut.

Wer so viel Interessantes sieht, wird hungrig und durstig, Das Restaurant Klosterkatz hat auf dem Hof des Weltkulturerbes Kloster Maulbronn die Pool Position. Die anspruchsvolle Karte schlägt die Brücke zwischen lokaler und italienischer Küche. Hauptgerichte liegen zwischen 10 und 33 Euro. Im Sommer sitzt es sich schön vor dem Lokal. "Kaffee ist unsere Leidenschaft, vom Anbau bis zur Tasse" versichert die schön gestaltete Karte. Eine ganze Seite widmet sich Herkunft und Zubereitung des belebenden Getränks. Als Begleitung zum Café Americano suche ich mir noch ein Stück Kuchen von der Theke aus. Die dünne Plörre ist eine Ent-Täuschung, auch der Kuchen bleibt nicht im Gedächtnis. Fazit: Für Kaffee und Kuchen nur bedingt zu empfehlen.

Super lecker, gerne wieder! Die Pizzen sind wunderbar, üppig belegt - ein Genuss! Freundliche Kellner und eine sehr angenehme, schöne Atmosphäre im Klosterhof. Toll zum draußen sitzen. Auch das Eis ist spitze! 😋

It was very good. I had Pizza Hawai’i. I forgot that pizza crust in Europe is very thin, but since people in Germany use a fork to eat everything anyway, it didn’t matter that much.
