Restaurant Sitte in Darmstadt

Super friendly service and fantastic ambience

Very nice restaurant and great food

In the sunshine, let yourself be pampered outside with delicious sour lemon and a Sitte Burger (very tasty).

A successful mix of modern restaurant and rustic inn, friendly service and delicious cuisine!

Very friendly service without being intrusive, very fast service, and absolutely fantastic food! Completely satisfied.

The food is as always 😋 delicious

I was really excited about my visit to Restaurant Sitte in Darmstadt. As soon as you arrive, you'll notice the pleasant atmosphere - the restaurant is spacious and offers plenty of seating, so you immediately feel at home. The menu is varied and offers something for every taste. I particularly liked the opportunity to put together your own bowls - a really creative idea that is fun and leaves a lot of room for individual preferences. But the dishes straight from the menu are also put together with great attention to detail. The portions are very large, so you'll definitely be full, and the price-performance ratio is absolutely fair. I was completely impressed by the taste of my dish: fresh ingredients, perfectly seasoned and beautifully presented – simply super delicious. Another big plus is the exceptionally friendly staff. The service was attentive, warm and always in a good mood - you can tell that hospitality is very important here. Overall, an all-round successful visit - I would definitely like to come back and can only warmly recommend the Sitte restaurant.

Alles Bestens. Nettes, aufmerksames Personal. Preise etwas höher, dafür aber reichhaltig. Kalte Bratkartoffeln wurden umgehend in der Küche erhitzt.

We've been coming into this custom for years. At the beginning with two people and now with our 1-year-old offspring. It's very child-friendly here. The service and the food are always top (Wiener-style schnitzel is highly recommended). In summer it's nice to sit on the terrace. We would love to come back (always).

High quality meal. Fresh and tasty. People are nice and speak in English as well plus they have English menu.

It was my first time there but I was really impressed by the rather traditional atmosphere. The food was really very tasty. I'd love to come back

Wir haben sehr kurzfristig angerufen und dennoch direkt einen Tisch bekommen. Alles war sauber und ordentlich. Wir hatten einen netten und sehr aufmerksamen Kellner (Ivan). Das Essen kam zeitig und hat sehr gut geschmeckt. Das Rumpsteak war perfekt. Bis auf die Kartoffeln, die waren teilweise ein bisschen zu fest, aber dennoch akzeptabel und lecker! Die Kinder haben sich über ihr Eis gefreut, dass sie durch das Ausmalen der Kinderkarte erhalten haben. Ganz liebe Grüße von Familie Dilg

Sensationell leckeres Essen immer wieder gerne. Das Madagaskar Filet und das Bolognese Schnitzel waren weltklasse. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder

Eines unserer Stamm-Restaurants in Darmstadt. Wie immer sehr leckeres Essen und sehr freundliche Bedienung. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Yes, very tasty food. Very friendly service.

We went to the Sitte restaurant for dinner – and the place was rightly well attended and was impressive! 🍽️ The service was quick and extremely friendly, the food was excellent. Particularly recommended are the regional specialties such as cooked cheese and apple wine as well as the seasonal dishes - currently the green sauce. If you want to eat here, you should make a reservation to be on the safe side!

We were at the restaurant on a Friday evening through the Schlemmerblock. The food was very good. The meat was perfectly fried and the pepper sauce tasted very good. Special requests for food were taken into account. The service is also worth mentioning; the waitress who served us was extremely friendly and attentive. Definitely coming back.

Service was friendly, food was very good, prices were high

Wir waren zu dritt in der Sitte. Begrüßung und Bedienung durch George war so, als wenn man zu Gast bei Freunden zu Hause ist. George ist überaus freundlich, auch zu einem Spaß aufgelegt – und dabei aber auch sehr schnell. Es war eine Freude, von ihm bedient zu werden. Das Essen (Wildschweingulasch) war wertig und schmackhaft. Obwohl die Sitte ein sehr großes Lokal ist, ist doch das Ambiente an jedem einzelnen Tisch gemütlich und man hat eine private Atmosphäre. Sitte – wir kommen wieder!

A beautiful, traditional location in the heart of Darmstadt. I've known the custom for over 30 years now and have to say that food used to be tastier. Everything was okay but not as tasty as you would expect for such a good, traditional restaurant. The service was good and attentive. There's nothing wrong with that. Have fun eating and if necessary, the cook will use a little more salt and spices next time.

Very rustic atmosphere, great food and great service but a limited menu.

We had a lovely evening at the Custom. However the menu could be larger. It consists mostly of schnitzel. We were there with the Schlemmerblock and received a warm welcome. The cheesecake is to die for. Just a little too much cream in relation to the small cake in the glass. We'd love to come back.

Very attentive and friendly staff. The colleagues are also very friendly. A new colleague started and everything was explained to him wonderfully. The food was very tasty and the raspberry dressing was simply delicious.

I would like to thank the Restaurant Sitte team from the bottom of my heart. I celebrated my birthday on Saturday, February 22nd, 2025 with 47 people. Everything was implemented according to my wishes. The food was very tasty. The service was very attentive and loving. Just great 👍🏽 I had a wonderful birthday party. We would be happy to come back at any time.

There were five of us in the custom and we were served very courteously and carefully. Food was fresh and tasty and value for money was simply great :-)))).

Enjoyed a delicious meal in an attractive restaurant with authentic dishes. Nice beer “Grohe”. Nice service suitable for children. Highly recommended

You really feel like a welcome guest here. It is rare to find such attentive and warm service. You can tell that the waiter George loves his job! The food was delicious and the value for money was excellent.

Very nice service, comfortable to sit in, food was good but not a 5/5, more like a 4/5. Potatoes were fried a little carelessly and not all completely cooked through. Otherwise everything is good standard.

It was really nice again. We always feel very comfortable and everyone is very nice and attentive. We always enjoy coming back. You can also have a relaxed meal there with children. There are delicious children's meals and books to read.

Delicious food, as always, and very friendly service. I always go to this traditional restaurant because I know everything here is great.

What happened? Last night we (two people) were visiting and ordered, completely unspectacularly, two cooked cheese schnitzels with fries. When I asked whether alcohol was used in the cream schnitzel (which is what I actually wanted to eat), the waitress answered me with a clear “no”. My skepticism was justified and after asking again in the kitchen, my suspicions were confirmed. For me personally it’s a “no-go!” because the service should know which ingredients are used. The standard phrase “it’s overcooked,” which is often technically incorrect, doesn’t help much afterward, but the apology does. The schnitzel: WOW - what was that? So you couldn't have tasted it blindfolded. It felt like something flattened and greasy from the deep fryer. We missed both taste and proper preparation. I think it was the first time I left a schnitzel behind. Maybe my head was playing tricks on me afterwards, but I could clearly taste the french fry grease. And that wasn't fresh. The food was served in less than 10 minutes after ordering, the restaurant was completely full. It's a shame, but I think it was so taste-challenging that I can't even think about eating a schnitzel here again.

10/10 delicious food, good ambience

From the reservation, to the delicious food, to the perfect service. Definitely one of my favorite restaurants in Darmstadt.

Most of the dishes were very tasty, service was great. We are regular guests and always enjoy coming

The staff's attention was very good. The food was delicious. The atmosphere was warm and of high quality.

The food was again very tasty and we were treated in a super friendly and attentive manner. Please note: kitchen takes Orders only accepted until 9:15 p.m.

We had already been sitting in the restaurant for 10 minutes without anything, and now we ordered the memory card from the waiter. More minutes passed with no action. Now we finally started picking up drinks and food and waiting again for the order. Food was okay, service could be better Unfortunately!!!!!

Sau lecker.. Aufjedefall werden wir nochmal hingehen

Very good beer, the selection is huge. German quality cuisine

Always friendly staff who make the guest feel welcome. The custom offers an extremely child-friendly atmosphere and plenty of opportunities to keep children of all ages entertained. Even when the restaurant is full, the volume is very pleasant. The food is portioned just right and very tasty. It fills you up and doesn't overfill you. The quality offered justifies the price one hundred percent.

Very good food, good service and always happy.

Maybe I was a bit unlucky with my choice of food: the lamb shank had an unpleasant aftertaste and the fried potatoes were swimming in the sauce. It's better to serve them separately. Grohe's Märzen, on the other hand, was very good.

Yes good ambience, food and drinks. Courteous service.

Excellent meal. Charming atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Very, very friendly and the food quality is really good 🍀🍀🍀

Very great restaurant! Great food! I'd love to come back

Exzellentes Essen, sehr kompetente und freundliche Bedienung. Ich war mit Freunden schon einmal hier, es war auch zu dem Zeitpunkt alles super!

I received a very friendly welcome and was always looked after attentively and quickly throughout my visit - even though the house was full to the last seat that day! Despite the high occupancy, the service always seemed relaxed and attentive to me. The menu is clear, which I really appreciate because it means the dishes on offer get the attention they deserve. I liked it, even if I wasn't completely convinced by the schnitzel made from Hessian country pork. The atmosphere is modern rustic, I would say. The noise that evening (Wednesday!) was almost deafening and a conversation at our table for two became increasingly difficult due to the acoustics. In addition, the small table lamp flickered. Since this was not observed at the other tables, it was probably not a “feature”. All in all, a successful evening thanks to the great service and my counterpart.

Super leckeres Essen und sehr nette und freundliche Bedienung. Man hat sich sehr wohl gefühlt.☺️ Immer wieder gerne! Sehr schön zum sitzen! 😊

Die Fachwerkatmosphäre ist sehr gemütlich und das Essen war lecker. Auch der vegane Burger war sehr schmackhaft. Das Personal ist flink, freundlich und aufmerksam und wir mussten nicht lange warten.

Toller Service <3 Essen top! Wickeltisch im Herren WC zwischen Pissoirs sehr ungeeignet für Babys und Wickeltisch im Damen WC unsauber. Viele Grüße

Essen sehr gut. Sehr freundlicher Service. Schnelle Bedienung. Der eine Punkt weniger wegen der Wärme im Restaurant. Im Winter ist es hart wenn man dicker angezogen reinkommt.

Thanks to Ms. Jarka, great service, atmosphere & food 💜

A Wonderful Dining Experience! We had an amazing experience at this restaurant! The food quality was excellent, truly some of the best we’ve had in a long time. The service was what made our visit truly special. Our waiter, Ehsan, was exceptional. Not only did he provide timely and professional service, but he also went above and beyond to make our family feel welcome. He was incredibly kind to our son, offering him free ice cream, which absolutely made his day. Additionally, Ehsan brought toys for our son to play with, allowing us to enjoy our meal peacefully—a thoughtful touch that we greatly appreciated. Another server, Ivan, was equally fantastic. He also interacted kindly with our son and even took a moment to play with him when he had some free time. It’s rare to find such genuine care and friendliness in customer service. The restaurant itself is spacious, with plenty of seating options, making it perfect for families and gatherings. The ambiance is warm and welcoming, and it’s clear that they prioritize creating a great experience for all their guests. We highly recommend this place for anyone looking for excellent food and outstanding service. We’ll definitely be back!

I've been in the habit again for a long time. So far I have always enjoyed being there and have always been very satisfied. I still find the service very friendly. I was very disappointed with the food this time. The vitamin salad with strips of rump steak and mushrooms was bland and had far too little dressing. A generous portion of salad, but unfortunately with little, barely noticeable dressing. The mushrooms were very salty and the strips of rump steak were sometimes very mixed. The white wine spritzer, which I have always found very tasty, was also very bland this time. The final espresso is too cool, watery and not aromatic at all. Everything came extremely quickly. I have rarely seen the food come so quickly, even with so many guests. Maybe too fast? Too bad.

Great service, although it was certainly not easy for us as 4 adults with 6 small children 😅Everything we had was well prepared and very tasty. Gladly again! Highly recommended!

It was the perfect end to the year. Thank you for the very nice and very good service. The quality of the food was also excellent. Keep it up

Great home-style restaurant plus very nice service. We went there for a goose meal and it was really good.

The goulash was very tasty and also great price

It's a habit every now and then, the food is really very delicious, the service is simply great and always very polite, the atmosphere is very cozy, only this time I really have to pull off a punk! We were there on Christmas Day and ordered a roast venison, the portion was quite small for my taste, and the prices have gone up enormously compared to last year, but all in all, always happy, so keep it up, dear Sitte team!

In 2025 I find it rather poor to only offer one vegetarian and one vegan main course on the menu. The vegan dish was also really not good at all. It tasted a bit like something I'd throw together drunk in the shared kitchen at four o'clock at night. But I don't think it will hurt the chef much, since he probably didn't make any of it himself.

Yesterday I was at the Sitte restaurant in Darmstadt and I was thrilled! The rump steak was absolutely first class – perfectly cooked and incredibly tasty. The service was brisk and friendly; George in particular made the evening unforgettable with his charming manner. The cozy atmosphere completes the experience. I will definitely be back and can highly recommend this restaurant!”

Always very tasty, very friendly and professional 👌🏻

Great atmosphere if you like rustic. Food very good, service nice and there immediately.

Goose was a little dry and quite tough, which is a shame. The rest was good, though.

Nice atmosphere with great service. The food was good. The breading of the schnitzel could have been a lot airier and crispier.

We were really looking forward to a good German meal and it didn't disappoint.

If you like good German cuisine, this is the place for you! Food was extremely delicious! Service was very friendly despite the house being full! Recommended!

Food very tasty Service friendly and accommodating Unfortunately we were asked to pay after 2.5 hours because the next ones were waiting - Christmas

It was really cozy! Food very good!

Simply delicious and absolutely recommended.

Everything is great and everyone is so incredibly child-friendly :)

Had dinner with my children for the 3rd time now. Everyone was thrilled, everything was right. We'll be back. LG

The taste of the food was OK, but the prices were in a higher range than the food unfortunately was.

A great restaurant with a warm welcome and excellent service, especially from Susanne. The food was great and the atmosphere makes you feel comfortable. What's particularly nice is how attentively children are treated - coloring pad, competition and small prize included. Here you can feel real passion and decades of experience. Absolutely recommended!

Last night we were in the mood to quickly use our Schlemmerblock voucher before it expires. The custom was the absolute highlight of the block for us. The food was fabulous. We had the goose leg and goose breast and both were really excellent. The beer from Grohe was, as usual, delicious and the ambience was a good mix of rustic and modern. The highlight for us, however, was our waitress, Susanna. She was so sweet and kind, very personable and always had a smile on her face. She really made our evening! Thanks so much!

The restaurant was very busy, so the background noise was a bit loud. Nevertheless, the reception was very friendly, without stress or hectic. Our lady in service was quick, came to us at the right time to reorder, always had a corresponding word on her lips and earned every euro of the tip! Thank you for the delicious and entertaining lunch ❤️

Very tasty food, great service.

We were there for Goose dinner and more than satisfied. The meat was wonderfully tender and flavorful. Gladly again.

We ate delicious food, received friendly service, and had delicious beer. The beautiful evening is ready.

Day ticket at a very good price-performance ratio, highly recommended! The staff is extremely friendly, Swevice is extremely fast!

“Die Sitte” in Darmstadt offers a good culinary experience in a stylish ambience. The service is attentive and warm, the dishes are creative, seasonal and taste excellent. Here tradition meets modern sophistication – a must for connoisseurs!

You can't go wrong here, the food is very tasty, the portions are good and the service staff are very friendly. I can highly recommend the schnitzel and, in winter, the goose leg! Unfortunately I can't give it a 5th star because the prices here are a bit too high... but everything else is great.

Wir sind hier gerne und auch öfters zu Gast und sind immer sehr zufrieden - rustikales Ambiente, top Serviceteam und natürlich die konstant sehr gute Qualität der Speisen. Dieses Mal hatten wir uns für die Gans entschieden- beides war hervorragend, Brust und Keule Wir kommen gerne wieder

The food was simply great! The rump steak in particular was perfectly prepared, exactly to the point. The fries were nice and crispy and really tasty. The garlic butter rounded it all off perfectly. I would love to come back here

We booked a table for 4 people in this restaurant. Super central location, decent enough food, FAST SERVICE, standard bustling German atmosphere. I recommend

The schnitzel was dry and the cheese that went with it was cold. The fried potatoes weren't crispy. The game goulash was stringy, was complained about, but the same quality was substituted. I've eaten there more often in the past, but the quality was better.

Traditional, rustic Darmstadt restaurant. Nice ambience in the winding open guest room. Good food with a reasonable price-performance ratio. We had the rump steaks, medium-rare, fried to perfection. Attentive, charming staff.

Wie immer super Erfahrung. Bestes Schnitzel in der Umgebung! Wir kommen immer gerne von weiter weg für einen Besuch in der Sitte!

We have been coming here for many decades. At the very beginning, Wolfgang was still on board. We love the ambience and the cuisine. Today there is only a small criticism of the service. If you reserve a table for 4 people, you should check in advance whether the pepper mill on the table will work. The service should also bring a spoon with the soup…. See you next time! Congratulations on 45 years of custom!!! Only very few can do that.

Sehr tolles Ambiente, die Bedienung (Mario) war total aufmerksam. Das Essen war super lecker und die Portionen echt groß. Preisleistung stimmt hier absolut. Sehr zu empfehlen! ( auch für Familien)

Wir waren als Familie mit 2 Kindern (7 & 4) in der Sitte. Das Rumsteak war ausgezeichnet. Die Portionen waren groß. Die Kinder Portionen waren auch sehr groß. Das Personal war sehr aufmerksam und freundlich. Die Kinder haben direkt was zum malen bekommen wo unter anderem ein Rätsel zu lösen war und man ein Eis zur Belohnung bekommen hat. Uns hat es allen sehr geschmeckt. Das Ambiente war sehr gemütlich. In allem Top. Wir kommen wieder. Vielen Dank.

Eine super Erfahrung. Das Schnitzel war 1. Klasse. Auf jeden Fall empfehlungswert.Eine tolle Atmosphäre mit super netten Bedienungen.

I had a team dinner here of 16 people and the experience was great! We had Mario as our waiter, who was very attentive, friendly, and helpful when we were trying to decide on food & drinks. We will be back in Darmstadt for work again and will be back at this restaurant for sure.

Unfortunately the cream schnitzel wasn't that good. The meat is not soft enough and the breading is not crispy enough.

The ambience promises more than what came out in the end. Food is nothing special. Service was attentive at the beginning and then no one came. For a quick yes. For special evenings no.

This is a German restaurant representing Darmstadt. Perfect for business situations. When I came with my children, they took great care of me, such as giving me a coloring book set. thank you very much.

Great restaurant with good home-style food and great service - for years😀. Very family friendly - the kids were given a small ice cream at the end. A great gesture that shouldn’t “hurt” a restaurant, but is rarely done these days.

The price-performance ratio was not right at all: - I would have gotten the 08/15 Rahmschnitzel much cheaper in any other restaurant. - the very small "mousse au chocolate" was delicious, but the price was just too high. Positive: - The side salad in a jar was good. - Get the last in-house parking space at 6 p.m - Service very friendly
