Restaurant Mauganeschtle Tübingen in Tübingen

Our conference guests at the University of Tübingen were captivated by the food and ambiance at the Mauganschtle restaurant. And the service was fantastic: exceedingly friendly, warm, and very attentive. I've since dined at the restaurant several times with university guests, and everyone was delighted every time—including me! :-)

The food was excellent, the service magical, the ambience beautiful

Great food, great location, very good service

Much better than expected. I can highly recommend it. Of the many medium to high priced restaurants, this is definitely one of the much better ones.

Probably the best restaurant we tried in Tübingen. All the regional specialty dishes, different from what is understood as typical German food, have exceptional quality in the raw materials and preparation. The service is friendly and fast, with a great atmosphere. The prices are not high for the quality of the food either, it is well worth coming and trying it.

Dinner here today was a real treat! Very well created spring ravioli with salmon and asparagus, exactly to my taste. Keep it up!

Beautiful regional and seasonal menu, nice ambience, friendly, calm, very courteous service, wonderful dishes, price/performance ratio is right!

The guest room is beautifully and comfortably furnished. The menu also sounds very varied and ambitious. Unfortunately, the reality is completely different. It starts with the service, which is very clumsy, uninformed and not really attentive. As it became clear over the course of the evening, it is primarily students who come to the table. Although there were plenty of other service staff, who were obviously better trained, at the front of the counter area. Many simple questions about the food and drinks could not be answered by our waitress and he had to keep going back to the counter. That makes a very bad impression. We had the wild garlic cream soup with beetroot chips. The soup was not a cream soup, but a pure pureed wild garlic soup. Tasted good, but the cream was missing. The card and what comes next should match, as the guest also has certain expectations. The beetroot chips were certainly crispy, but they were in the soup and were just a mushy mass. This is a blatant craftsmanship error. The second starter, beetroot carpaccio with caramelized goat cheese, obviously came out of the fridge fully prepared and had been stored for hours. The goat cheese was cold, the caramel crust was not freshly caramelized. Just a very cold cheese. The beetroot slices tasted like nothing, and the worst thing was, everything was covered with a convenience balsamic cream from the bottle, so you couldn't taste the olive oil-lemon marinade mentioned on the menu. It was simply poorly crafted and a disaster, and that for 16 euros. My Swabian platter was completely carelessly prepared, with lots of convenience products such as a hollandaise sauce from the tetra pack (which everyone knows) and fried onions from the bag. At the level postulated by the restaurant itself, homemade fried onions should be a given. The pork fillet was fried to death and the cheese spaetzle came with sticky, dried cheese. Here the claim of the house does not match reality at all. The second main course, Maultaschen with potato salad, was actually announced by the waiter with a side salad. He obviously didn't know how the dish was served either. There was no salad with it. The Maultaschen were completely dry, there was no brown butter or any sauce or broth. The two aperitifs we had were good, but we decided against wine or anything else after first impressions. I also had a pear spritzer, which was advertised brilliantly on the menu, but hardly tasted like pear at all. Here the mixing ratio was not right at all. All in all a very disappointing experience. And at very high prices. Unfortunately not recommended.

We had a wonderful evening with not only delicious food but also excellent service.

Really tasty, very friendly and great menu selection

Everything was perfect, to say something that could be improved, the waiting time to serve the dishes was about 20 minutes, but we had ordered everything at the same time and it is possible that this was the cause of it. Service, quality of ingredients and quality cuisine.

It was very nice, the staff was polite and accommodating! The food was a bit salty, both the soup and the roulade.

A beautiful location for our wedding day

The food was truly delicious, and the portions were generous. The bread and the wild garlic cream that accompanied it were also delicious. The bread was even warm. Everything was a bit on the expensive side, but the great location also plays a role. If possible, reserve a table in the winter garden, where you have a fantastic view of the "Ammer" side of Tübingen.

After two visits I would now like to leave my personal review. The menu is extremely extensive, but my focus was primarily on the classic Maultaschen. As someone not from the region, they were a whole new taste experience - and I highly recommend them! The variety of different Maultaschen menus doesn't make it easy to choose, but that's exactly what speaks for the quality and creativity of the cuisine. The ambience is another highlight: stylishly furnished rooms and a wonderful view over the city. The service was extremely friendly and accommodating on both visits. We also stayed overnight in the hotel and were able to enjoy breakfast in the restaurant - a rich buffet with a large selection of delicacies. An all-round successful experience with excellent cuisine and a stylish ambience. The only small disadvantage: Due to the high demand, a reservation is almost mandatory, especially on weekends.

I recently had lunch here with my family and we really enjoyed it! The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, and the service was exceptionally friendly and attentive - we really felt very comfortable. The menu offers an excellent selection of local dishes that are great for both meat lovers and vegetarians. Everything was freshly prepared and tasted excellent. The portions were generous and the price was completely justified. We had a wonderful time and I will definitely come back. Highly recommended!

We were completely satisfied! The personal yet discreet service provided by the staff was particularly pleasant.

On our first visit to Tübingen, my wife and I chose the Mauganeschle as our "restaurant of choice"... and we absolutely did not regret it. From the location to the ambiance/beautiful view of Tübingen and the friendly staff to the delicious food and drinks, we loved everything. We also found the value for money to be reasonable. So, full marks—and keep it up!

TOP! We made reservations at short notice for 20 people during the trade fair. We sat in a beautiful vaulted room, the service was first class, the food was very high quality and delicious. The entire stay can be rated as very good, THANK YOU!

Excellent business dinner, exceptional service, food and setting. Great beer...

The starter was good (mixed salad / pancake soup / smoked trout fillet). Unfortunately, the main course (roast dumplings / onion roast with spaetzle) arrived at our place almost cold. It was therefore probably heated with infrared, which caused the Maultaschen to dry out a bit). Overall, the visit was unfortunately disappointing.

...a very good restaurant where you can comfortably look out over Tübingen...what more could you want?

Very nice little Swabian restaurant.

Excellent service, beautiful view of Tubingen and delicious food.

I can only report positive things. The service was really super friendly, the food was delicious and the ambience is great👍

I ordered an Italian salad I am vegan They replace the tuna with lots of vegetables The bread was fresh and good

Service very friendly and attentive. Food good, a little “too well” seasoned, but very tasty. Reservation online very convenient. Would love to come back.

Swabian kitchen classics and more in an exposed location The Hotel-Restaurant Mauganeschtle is a feel-good place in Tübingen. It is located in the historic castle hotel, which is located next to the lower gate of the Hohentübingen castle complex. The well-kept, listed hotel restaurant surprises with its modern, stylish interior a 2-tier garden terrace with a great view of Tübingen's old town. The guests are mostly locals and university members who enjoy the summer evening on the terrace. The student service is quick and exceptionally friendly - we experienced this surprisingly often in Tübingen. The menu is a mixture of traditional Swabian cuisine, some of which have been creatively prepared. The traditionally prepared Maultaschen tasted excellent. The taste was perfectly rounded off by the butter crumbs and melted onions and the texture of the dumplings and filling were also very good. Another defining taste experience was the homemade sloppy potato salad - inimitable Swabian. The daily special “potato dumplings with fresh summer truffles” alone was a culinary disappointment for us. The potato filling consisted of a thick layer of dry mashed potatoes and the (cheese?) cream sauce was far too greasy and heavy for a warm summer evening. To enhance the aroma of the thin slices of truffles, the kitchen apparently used truffle oil - a fact that would infuriate every gourmet and lover of Piedmontese and Istrian truffles. It is well known that the pungent synthetic aroma has absolutely nothing to do with the delicate taste of real truffles. Conclusion: Beautiful, stylish restaurant with a unique garden terrace and very good Swabian classics. The less Swabian dish of the day failed to convince us either with its consistency or taste.

It was a very nice evening with good food, only the sauce for the meat had a bit of a binding effect (gluten), and fantastic Maultaschen. The wine selection was very good and the service was warm and extremely friendly (but not fake, but honest!). Absolutely recommended!

Great service, outstanding food. A bit drafty at the window.

We had a thoroughly enjoyable evening with friends and family. The team is very friendly and accommodating. The food was excellent. The ambience is very nice. Thank you for the lovely evening!

This restaurant is probably intended for young people. Everything is very tight. We sat on bar stools (very uncomfortable) to eat. I never knew Maultaschen with dark sauce. Wasn't necessarily my case. However, the beer was very good

Thank you for the friendly and professional service. We really enjoyed our time! Thanks! Highly recommended!

After our civil wedding at Mauganeschtle, we had lunch in the winter garden with our 40 guests. In addition to a champagne reception, a three-course menu that could be put together individually, we were then able to enjoy the cake we had brought with us. The planning in advance with Mr. Tisci was professional, uncomplicated and very personal. All of our wishes were taken into account. We were able to have a say in everything from the individual drinks at the champagne reception to the menu options and allergies and a gluten-free or vegan diet were also taken into account. On the day of the wedding, the service was incredibly attentive and friendly without being intrusive. Everything was implemented as discussed, from the place cards and decorations to the food. The menu itself was an absolute delight! Every single dish was perfectly prepared, beautifully presented and a taste highlight. A big compliment to the entire team and Mr. Tisci for this unforgettable experience! We can recommend this restaurant to anyone who is planning a celebration - or just wants excellent food. Thank you very much for everything!

At first glance it's a nice atmosphere, but some things in the restaurant and in the toilets need to be addressed. Side dishes on the menu only butter spaetzle. When the waitress asked if there was anything with potatoes, she regretfully said no, but fries were then served at the neighboring table. Only after we mentioned again that we would also like fries was the side dish changed. The food (onion roast and veal Maultashan) was good, but nothing special. Drinking very expensive!

Very tasty food and top service! You really have to compliment the owner: he has put together a young, knowledgeable and very friendly team, which is really not easy in the restaurant industry these days. We enjoyed the evening 😋!

Very good restaurant with local Swabian cuisine and a lot of attention to good service. The food was very tasty and authentic. I can particularly recommend the Schwabenplatte.

Great Swabian food! Absolutely nice experience, with a nice vegetarian menu selection and great atmosphere. The food was very tasty with nice spice blend and complex taste.

Very tasty food, large portions, good service, and pleasant atmosphere.

Very nice staff, food was great! Gladly again :)

The service was great, very friendly and attentive. Unfortunately I have to say that the taste of the food was very different. From very good to completely bland. The spelled noodles with winter vegetables with herb mushrooms and almond cream were spirelli with zucchini and a few small pieces of herb mushrooms without sauce for over €19. The lentil croquettes on potato and truffle puree were tasty, but at over €24 they were rather plain and lacking in pizzazz. I can't judge the meat dishes. Unfortunately we were rather disappointed with the food.

Christmas dinner was excellent, game fish and goose.

Nettes Restaurant mit traditioneller Speisekarte. Es gibt eine grosse Auswahl an lokalen Gerichten welche fein gekocht werden. Freundliches Personal.

Expensive is not always good! At first we craved the chestnut soup, which was offered in front of the restaurant, only when we asked what was with the chestnut soup did we find out that there was no more. The replacement: A small, watery pumpkin soup 7 €😳! The Schlössletöpfle that followed was just carelessly prepared. The onion roast, very small 30€ 🤪! The biggest problem was that all the dishes were peppery - someone was given kilos of green pepper and tried to add it to our food. It was also noticeable that the sauces on the plates that had just been brought to the table were already forming a skin... Without words 😶 We're definitely not coming back!

Very tasty food from the Christmas menu (please have Maultaschen next time), parking space for disabled grandparents in front of the door (not at all a given in Tübingen), unfortunately very loud due to a disturbing second group in the vaulted cellar, which also led to a bit of confusion in the service (one person “forgotten by the kitchen”, wine with the main course arrived late). Still the right choice for a family Christmas dinner - and of course we'll be back!

Food is small and takes way too long

We had the pleasure of enjoying the Christmas menu at this wonderful restaurant and it was simply fantastic! The service was first class - the staff was attentive, friendly and listened to our every need. The food was a real culinary delight.

Family dinner together at Christmas. Excellent food in a cozy and attractive atmosphere. Friendly and courteous service. From the starter to the drinks to the dessert it was a truly successful experience. Thank you!

Simply sensational, perfect service, super nice staff, fast and warm food. Very good quality, only the truffle could have been more intense.

Amazing! Warm soulful atmosphere and delicious food! Friendly staff had a lot of work to do due to the large number of guests, but the service was exceptional. We will be back again!

Food was good, roast was too spicy and wasn't on the menu. Side salad came much later and upon request.

Enjoyed a very nice, entertaining and interesting evening with the “Chocolate & Wine” menu as part of the Chocolat Festival. Gladly again! Only the lack of parking spaces nearby is worth a tiny deduction.

Anytime, again and again. Just try it out for yourself and you'll love it.

Pleasant atmosphere, great service, the food is simply delicious! Thank you very much, we'll be back!

Very good food and nice and courteous service

A wonderful discovery of ours - however, you should definitely make a reservation because it was very busy in our evening. The menu is seasonal, Swabian and makes your mouth water. The food was excellent and we would love to come back because we would have liked to try a lot more!

A cozy restaurant, directly below the castle. The service was extremely friendly and quick. Unfortunately the venison sauerbraten was very stringy and fatty.

We had very tasty food, the service was attentive and friendly. A very nice evening. Thank you very much.

It was another beautiful evening. Everything was fine. We felt very comfortable. Even if there's a little more going on, everyone on the team gets through it together. Great class. Thank you.

Excellent food! Highly recommended!

Excellent cuisine and excellent service. The prices are reasonable. The atmosphere is very pleasant. The selection of dishes is large and changes. Parking is difficult.

It was very beautiful and interesting. The food was great. The whole evening was special. The service excellent. Gladly again for the chocolate menu

Chocolate menu at its best! With chocolate sommelier Eberhard Schell and wine sommelier Petro Tisci: Very tasty and very informative!

Very tasty and very friendly and personal service.

Great food, warm service, wonderful views - you couldn't ask for more.

Very tasty food eaten in a nice atmosphere. Thank you for that!

Typical local cuisine, good quality, generous portions, prices slightly below average. Courteous and helpful manager. Better to book.

I was able to spend an excellent evening in your restaurant with a group of 20 people. The whole group clearly felt comfortable with you. Your team's human interaction with us was extremely courteous and warm! The quality of the food was first class! Here I am talking about my own choices as well as the feedback I collected from individual group members. I am very glad that your restaurant exists. I would love to come back privately and with groups.

Delicious food, price a little higher than usual

Beautiful food, cozy, elegant, nice…

Very tasty and traditional Swabian food. However, the price is on the higher end. Nevertheless, we had a nice evening.

A wonderful place to eat! All food and drinks were excellent. Very polite service. We'd love to come back ❤️

Very nice restaurant with a cozy atmosphere, very tasty food and very attentive service.

It was very nice with them, we ate deliciously and felt very comfortable. Thanks!

A very nice restaurant in a fantastic location in Tübingen. However, the quality of the food does not justify the relatively high prices.

Good service, delicious, Beautiful scenery outside the window.

We had a great evening there with great food and the best service. Absolutely recommended. Gladly again.

Wonderful dinner, service was exceptional.

She completely ignored us and then forgot, although I pointed out to the waiter several times that we wanted to order. After 40 minutes of waiting we were gone. We are there for the attractions and not to wait. No more

Delicious food, nice service that is on point, nice ambience

Great food. I had the seasonal beef carpaccio as starter and the Maultaschen with green pepper as main. Excellent. You can order sparkling water in a carafe instead of a bottle. The water tastes great, it's environmentally friendly and cheaper than the bottle. I didn't like the seasonal aperitif I had, but that was the only aspect of dinner which was not excellent. I recommend to reserve a table for dinner

The restaurant “Mauganeschtle” (Swabian: hiding place for delicacies) in Tübingen lives up to its name. There is delicious food here, namely gastronomy at a high level (only the wine list should offer more choice). The service lives up to this requirement, the ambience is harmonious: my recommendation. You should park in one of the parking garages outside the pedestrian zone; the König parking garage or the Neckar parking garage are just a few minutes' walk away.

Super delicious food, friendly service and high up with a view over Tübingen. Insider tip!!!

We celebrated our wedding in the restaurant and couldn't be happier. From planning to organization, everything went smoothly. The team was extremely professional, friendly and supported us every step of the way, so we felt like we were in the best hands right from the start. On the day itself, the service was excellent - attentive, friendly and always available without being intrusive. The food was fantastic and exceeded all of our expectations, both in quality and presentation. Our guests were also thrilled! The location was simply fantastic. The team's flexibility allowed us to organize the evening exactly as we wanted. We couldn't imagine a more beautiful place for this special day and are incredibly grateful for the amazing support we received. Thank you for this unforgettable evening!

great cuisine, great wine and a really great new family team including a top chef in a wonderful ambience... our chance find while passing through... an absolute recommendation not only to all Cologne residents 😉🤣 we had Maultaschen and Rostbraten (tender, crispy and yet perfectly rare ...where can you get that?!) with spaetzle...simply delicious...absolute recommendation at an absolutely fair price

A visit is a must for us when we are in Tübingen - very courteous service, great food!

Very friendly, good service and nice atmosphere.

Very tasty, great service :). A little noisy due to the interior and well-attended space, but ok 👍

Mauganeschtle is to be pampered after a busy day with a delicious meal in a cozy atmosphere.

Das Ambiente ist sehr schön und die Bedienung sehr nett. Das Essen ist gut, aber für dieses Preisniveau erwarte ich mehr. Der besondere Pfiff fehlt. Leider gibt es in der Küche einen großen Fan von Balsamico Creme.. Frank Rosin würde sich im Grab umdrehen wenn er schon tot wäre. An den Tischen um uns herum gab es sehr viele Reklamationen zu falschen Bestellungen. Bei uns war es in Ordnung. Eher 3,5 Sterne als 4, aber das geht ja nicht

Completely satisfied. The food was very good. Good selection of vegetarian dishes too. The service was great.

We enjoy being there every time. The service and the food are simply TOP!

Absolutely A must We were completely satisfied! Food, service and ambience ^^TOP ADDRESS “”“You should make a reservation here! I am absolutely in love 😍 with this place!!.

Rarely have we had such a bad meal and the prices are absolutely exorbitant. Spelled pasta with asparagus. The pasta tasted like cardboard - memories of whole wheat pasta in the 1980s were brought back. Asparagus partly raw. And the sauce at least tasteless...

Very nice location. Especially in summer outside on the terrace. The service was good and the food was okay. I would have expected much more based on the recommendations and the prices. The consistency of my dumplings with chanterelles were warmed up, kept warm or simply didn't have the right mixing ratio. The sauce wasn't amazing either. The other dishes weren't bad either, some were too salty and overall not overwhelming.

The schnitzel was good, the breading was slightly softened in the oil. The baked Maultaschen were very tasty.

Great service and nice atmosphere. Particularly noteworthy is the great/unusual selection of vegetarian/vegan dishes. There are not just the usual standard dishes. Everything was very tasty. Please keep it up!

Quaint restaurant below Tübingen Castle. We had an outdoor space with a view. The reception and service was very friendly, quick and competent. The food itself was very tasty, largely traditional Swabian cuisine. We decided on the pork fillet with spaetzle and a real Viennese schnitzel, also with butter spaetzle. Both were super tender and tasty. We were very satisfied and will definitely come back.

Minimalist Swabian cuisine, slow service (not recommended for larger groups), price/performance absolutely not right. Food tastes OK. Some of the seating is too tight.

Very good, traditional Swabian restaurant!
