Restaurant "Zur Dorfschänke" in Bad Dürkheim

I always enjoy coming here. In my opinion, they have some of the best schnitzel and cordon bleu in Bad Dürkheim, and they're always introducing new ideas for preparing dishes.

Beautiful garden, very friendly service. The schnitzel was also delicious, but €5.30 for the sauce is a bit steep.

With a passion for food and wine, we had a wonderful evening.

Arrived at the empty restaurant at 4:15 PM and was immediately escorted out because everything was reserved for 5 PM! Business wasted...

The service is really friendly and attentive. The food is fresh, homemade, and delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Clocky, friendly, good and a lot

We were there for the first time on Saturday May 3rd, 2025. Completely spontaneous without reservation. After a short wait of 10 minutes we got our table. The waitress is very friendly and often checks in without being asked to see if everything is OK 😊 She is very nice. The restaurant has a beautiful old building charm (like grandma used to have) and is lovingly decorated. Right to feel good. The wooden tables in particular are reminiscent of the past and we thought they were great. The menu was clear and the prices were very fair depending on the portion! We both had the Viennese veal schnitzel and it was very, very tasty. We haven't eaten such good schnitzel in a long time. The grilled pepperoni was also excellent. We'll be back! Points are deducted because payment is only possible in cash and not by card. So 4/5 stars 🌟 Conclusion: Absolutely recommended!

Quaint local. We received a very friendly welcome. Warm and friendly lady in service. Even though the kitchen was actually closed, we still got something to eat and were allowed to choose from the entire menu. The taste was excellent. Any time. We felt very comfortable

The restaurant is really excellent. The owner is very nice and also responds very kindly to special requests. The schnitzels are extremely large and even tastier. The side salad is also a good size and is just as tasty as the main course. When the weather is good, you can also sit outside very nicely. All in all, the restaurant is definitely worth a visit and a further journey. I can only recommend it to everyone :). We'll be coming back from Mannheim soon. The schnitzels and the service are worth it!!!

We sat nicely in the sun in a small, beautifully landscaped garden. Inside it is relatively small/cramped & rustic. The food was very good. I have rarely eaten such a delicious Viennese veal schnitzel (€24). That was perfect. I found the fries a bit too thick. The side salad was good. As a starter there was shrimps in garlic with dill (€13.80). Also good. Veal Cordon Bleu was also great and the service was very friendly. The Pinot Gris spritzer (€7.80) was good. Definitely highly recommended in summer.

Cozy, rustically furnished restaurant with very good food. According to my husband and grandson, rump steak was the best thing they have ever eaten. Schnitzel is delicious and so is the winemaker's steak. Portions huge, children's plates too. Conclusion = friendly service, cozy atmosphere and good food, at acceptable prices.

Large delicious portions! Friendly service

We have been living in Bad Dürkheim for 10 years. I've been looking for a very good rump steak for 10 years. Today I found it! We also had the wild garlic soup and I also tried the tarte flambée with asparagus. Both very good too.

The food was excellent, finally a chef who understood what rare/bloody means! The service was very nice and accommodating. Unfortunately, the atmosphere is very uncomfortable. We prefer it to be cozy, rustic and less modern (but that's a matter of taste) and since all the guests were sitting in the small room in which a small child was screaming the whole time (the restaurant can't help it), we unfortunately didn't feel very comfortable there. If the guests had been divided into two rooms it would definitely have been more pleasant, as it was very loud with all the guests in a small space.

An inconspicuous, middle-class restaurant, we were even more impressed by everything!!! We received a very warm welcome, our dog was also welcome. The service is very friendly and attentive. The food is prepared and cooked personally by the boss. SIMPLY DELICIOUS!!! The portions are very large. The schnitzel was freshly prepared after ordering and you could even hear the knocking :) The steak was cooked to perfection, juicy, tender and the taste was simply a dream! We were totally thrilled and will definitely come back!!! What should be mentioned: ☆There is also a day ticket. ☆The restaurant has a few parking spaces. ☆Table reservation is recommended. ☆No card payment possible.

We had to wait 1 hour 20 minutes for our food. Guests who came after us got their food before us.

Super friendly reception. The dog was also welcomed and given water. Food was super tasty 😋 Rump steak super tasty, great meat

It was great Palatinate food and drinks. Service also very good. Were there at 5:30 p.m. and after that it got really crowded.

A quick, quick meal. Small, manageable restaurant in a rustic style. Service staff served us in two languages: Polish/German 😊 Before visiting, please check the website for opening times. Rest days on Wednesdays and Thursdays.

“A wonderful home-style restaurant with a warm atmosphere. The staff is friendly and attentive. We particularly recommend the Cordon Bleus – without a doubt the best in the city. You feel completely at home here!”

Super cozy, very nice staff, the food is amazing, nothing more is possible, everyone here is passionate about it

Absolutely recommended! Service and ambience top! Very cozy and friendly service! And the food is simply amazing! Here we still cook with love and pay attention to the ingredients. Simply delicious and surprisingly exceptional down to the last detail. We'll come back and say thank you! 🙏🏼

Starters and main courses excellent. The price is a bit higher, but great value for money.

We were there once for lunch and once for dinner, we were very satisfied! Service very friendly! The food was very good both times! We can only recommend this restaurant! Will we definitely come back?

Super tasty 😋 and very nice service, had a cozy evening

That was really great! Had the Sausage with chestnuts. You could taste that everything was homemade. Very friendly and very short waiting time for food. We'd love to come back.

If you want to eat good home-style food at a fair price, this is the place for you. The taste and quality of the food was impeccable. The portion size is more than filling (we didn't pack everything even though we are good eaters). The restaurant is particularly child-friendly. We were there with our 2 1/2 year old twins. Right after the menu came a large box of art supplies, games and books. Children under 3 years eat free from the children's menu. When an elderly couple complained about the twins' "loudness," the waitress explained to them that in a free country, children are part of society.

We were here for dinner on Sunday. The food was very tasty and freshly prepared. Unfortunately the lady who served us was rude and rude. We only received the bill verbally and after checking the prices it turned out that it did not match the prices listed on the menu. Really a shame!!

There is super delicious veal cordon bleu here. I always enjoy coming back. Very nice service! On warmer days you can sit in the beautiful garden, which reminds me a little of a fairytale forest. When the weather is cold it's nice to sit in the room.

Very small room, but super delicious food. Probably the best home-style food in the region. Only recommended!!! Service was also super friendly and nice. You feel like you are at home with mom/grandma. P.S.: Portions very large 😊 Our food: - Ox cheeks, so tender that they melt in your mouth. - Cordon Bleu filled with porcini mushrooms (a full plate size) that was very tender with super crispy breading and fresh mushrooms. Unfortunately no pictures because it was eaten too quickly and it was delicious 😋

A very nice evening with a very tasty meal and a super nice and cheerful service. The sweet culinary highlight was the rusty knight, which we still rave about today (a must try:-). We were thrilled and can only recommend this beautiful restaurant.

The Dorfschänke in Seebach offers a cozy and inviting atmosphere that invites you to linger. Here warm hospitality is combined with solid, regional cuisine. The porcini mushroom soup was a successful introduction - creamy and aromatic, with an intense mushroom flavor that was pleasantly warming. The fresh side salad was crunchy and provided a refreshing touch. A highlight was the red cabbage roulade, filled with tasty minced game. This combination was a delight both in taste and texture. The very tasty porcini mushroom cream sauce, which complemented the roulade wonderfully, was another plus. The roulade was reminiscent of traditional gołąbki and showed the cook's Polish handwriting. I would have been happy if the mashed potatoes advertised on the board had been served instead of the pumpkin puree. The pork cordon bleu was perfectly prepared: crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, accompanied by crispy fried potatoes, that's how you want cordon bleu. The ox cheeks were simply delicious – buttery tender and full of flavor. A real highlight! The Dorfschänke offers a good selection of regional Palatinate wines that go perfectly with the dishes. As a special touch, there is also the Polish Żubrówka vodka, which authentically complements the Palatinate restaurant in Polish hands. A few Polish dishes like Flaki, Żurek or Bigos would be a great addition to an already excellent menu and would enrich the culinary offering. For dessert there were the “Rusty Knights”, which were nice and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside – a sweet, cozy end to the menu. The attentive service also contributed to a successful evening. Overall, the Dorfschänke impresses with honest, well-prepared cuisine and a friendly atmosphere. A visit here is definitely recommended!

Cozy, homely restaurant with a few tables (be sure to reserve!). The service is very attentive and personable and the food is outstandingly good. We had pumpkin and porcini mushroom soup, a red cabbage roulade and a veal cordon bleu with porcini mushroom filling, from the autumn menu. All highly recommended. (no card payment, so bring enough cash)

The restaurant is inconspicuous, but I was even more positively surprised by the service and the quality of the food. The prices are reasonable for this quality. The menu is clear and limited to some seasonal dishes. But, as I said, this has an impact on the freshness of the products. The young lady from the service, who I was initially skeptical about, shone with a confident performance and even replaced an apple spritzer that had just been brought over, which our daughter had accidentally knocked over. She was very attentive and articulate (thank you for the professional service). The outdoor area is small but idyllic. We and our friends who were there will certainly come back. Best regards, Klein family

Great restaurant! Great service and the food was very, very good. Absolutely recommended.

Super nice and delicious restaurant. The staff is friendly and attentive. The small backyard is very cozy and the perfect location in summer. The food was very nicely prepared and therefore tasted very good.

Very good food, friendly service and the beer garden is lovely and shady to sit in. I can only recommend the veal schnitzel.

Huge portions but the taste is not my thing

Had turkey schnitzel with my partner today I have to say it was really tasty... Can highly recommend it :) Lg Cem

Food very good, service very friendly

I have never eaten better schnitzel in different variations. Update August 6, 2024: A non-alcoholic wheat beer now costs €5.90. Probably the most expensive wheat in Bad Dürkheim. Please leave the church in the village.

Food was very rich and tasty. Only the lady in service was a bit overwhelmed with 20 people in total. But overall, highly recommended

Very friendly staff, good food and good value for money. Highly recommended!

Nice restaurant with good food and cozy atmosphere. Unfortunately no card payment possible. Drinks relatively expensive.

It was a very nice and delicious evening in the village tavern. The service is very nice and the food is very good. Everything is freshly prepared. The Schnitzel and the Rusty Knights are highly recommended. We always enjoy coming back!

Cozy atmosphere, the food was plentiful and very good. The portions are large, therefore very good value for money. I can recommend it to every hungry guest. The service is very friendly despite the full house. It should be reserved and only cash payment applies, like before :)

Great location, super friendly staff and great value for money. Everything is prepared fresh and with high quality products. The only criticism is that the drinks are a bit too expensive.

We've eaten at the "Dorfschänke" three times now and we're thrilled. Very nice outdoor area, friendly & attentive staff and excellent freshly prepared food. We always enjoy coming back.

Very friendly owner. Cozy interior. Good value for money. Fresh ingredients, huge portions. Absolutely recommended! Unfortunately, there has been a decent price increase lately.

Really nice little village tavern with a great outdoor area. Just the thing for a lovely evening!

Great food, great service, great prices, everything was just right. It's a restaurant with heart and good taste, you can tell by the food! We'll definitely be back! The cook is fantastic!

Price/performance 👍🏻large portions and very tasty. Gladly again

Delicious food, great service, great atmosphere. Great😀

Super delicious. Thank you again.👍😀🙋🏼‍♀️

Very, very nice service and super good, honest food

You won't find a better Wiener Schnitzel in all of Austria! Everything was very tasty and, on top of that, super nice service!

We had dinner in the village tavern last night. We all ordered the veal cordon bleu and we all really enjoyed it. It was very delicious!! Afterwards there was a Black Forest cup and tiramisu... That was also delicious. When the weather was nice we were able to sit outside, which was really nice. We would like to come back!

As always, very tasty. 1a quality, I can recommend it

You can taste that a lot of it is homemade. Had veal schnitzel with a dark gravy and mashed potatoes. Everything tasted very good.

Over an hour of waiting time for the food, some of it dry, several times what was ordered wasn't served. Noisy and cramped rooms. Invoice ended up wrong.

Very nice staff, good, rich food.

We went to the Dorfschänke because of the very good reviews. We can only agree. Service and food excellent.

Super tasty, and good value for money, I can only recommend it

A friendly welcome in a small but comfortable setting. A beautiful, simple menu and above all seasonal products offered as suggestions. The meal is very hearty and super delicious, homemade…and the waitress takes great care of her customers. Absolutely recommended address.

As has been written so many times and confirmed here by me: super delicious food. Prepared with love. However, there was far too much, but that wasn't a problem since we had it packed! The full 5 points for that! And as the previous speaker already mentioned, 1 point deducted because of “only cash”. After all, everything has to be evaluated. Sorry

Incredible! Check google for their opening times: Open Monday 17:00. Check their website: Open Monday 17:00 Try to call to confirm: Nobody picks up Arrive at restaurant: New opening hours; closed Monday Wasted over an hour to get there EDIT: See picture, since the owner insisted the hours were correct. Door was closed and the sign in front of the restaurant read "new opening hours" which excluded Monday EDIT #2: To the insistence that the restaurant was open at 1700 today: it was not. Moreover, it has a sign with "new opening hours" on the board in front of the restaurant on which it said that it is now closed on Mondays. To the owner: go in front of your restaurant and look at what the board says for your opening hours.

Super delicious food. The schnitzel and fried potatoes were world class and the service was nice. The small drawback is the lack of card payment and you should put all the components of a meal on the card.

Great service, very tasty food and the finest Pinot Gris 😀 we had a lovely evening and ate very well! It was wonderful to hear how our Wiener Schnitzel were freshly plated :) Thanks to Natalia for the excellent service.

There is no better place in the area. 🙂

We really enjoyed it because the cooking here is fresh, no ready-made sauces! Good things take time, but it didn't take too long, even though the restaurant was full. Great job by the two ladies who served us and cooked for us. Thanks for that.

Clocky restaurant with great food and portions that fill you up. I often eat out in the Palatinate. This restaurant is one of my favorites. The Cordon Bleu is a dream

We were there at a family celebration. About 30 participants. The service was a bit overwhelmed, but still nice and very attentive. There was shrimp in sauce as a starter. I found this delicious, others found the sauce a bit too sour. The grilled pepperoni was also very good. The main course included salmon or schnitzel. The participants who had salmon were very pleased and it was also beautifully prepared. Schnitzel could have been a bit thicker, they were a bit dry. That was definitely due to the circumstances and therefore okay. Some sauce would have been good. But the taste was completely good, and the fried potatoes were also very good. The fries were homemade and also very good. For dessert there were rusty knights, which were so delicious, I've never had anything that good before. Highly recommended. I would like to give 5 stars for this day.

Great home-style restaurant and super child-friendly. Went here while passing through and it was great :)

We were there for the first time today. It was incredibly loud... But now we had reserved a table and stayed. I had a winemaker's steak with a side salad and fries. You can optionally order herb butter or onion sauce... I wished for a bit of each but apparently that wasn't possible. So I got a large bowl of very oily onion sauce and 2 pieces of herb butter. Even though I barely touched the onion sauce because it was too oily, I paid the full price. The waitress asked what was wrong but didn't respond further to my answer. Well, that was just my bad luck... We would come back because the food (except the onion sauce) was okay, but the noise was an absolute no go! The space isn't very big either. Maybe it's a little more comfortable outside in summer.

Very good food Portions very large and tasty 😋

Really great food! Very friendly service. The food is always very, very tasty and fresh, very large portions. Absolute recommendation!

We were there as a group of 6. The food was delicious, the service was friendly, in short, we had a great evening! We will be back!

Cozy, delicious, always a pleasure

The food was very tasty, the service was very nice, definitely recommended.

I would like to say in advance that the Dorfschänke is run by a very lovely family. We got to meet mom and daughter that evening. There is still real passion and commitment in this company! We ate a delicious cordon bleu and Hawaiian schnitzel there. The portion of the children's schnitzel was also very generous, and ordering a cream sauce for the child was no problem at all. The salad was also really tasty and fresh. The service was very attentive and friendly throughout the evening. We were absolutely thrilled that they responded so kindly to changes and requests. The Hawaiian schnitzel wasn't on the menu and yet it was made possible. I was very happy about that. When we asked if there was also Trout Müllerin style, we were told that we could specify that when making our next reservation and then they would make it for us. Where else is there something like that? Such an accommodating thing! At the end there was even a "children's schnapps" for the child too, so that they don't feel left out when the adults drink a liqueur. So sweet, really. Thank you for a lovely evening with you and see you soon!

If you like quality, you've come to the right place! Seldom eaten as well as here! Everything fresh and homemade. Also a 1a service! Here we understand gastronomy!

There were 4 people there yesterday. I have to say - RESPECT. We were greeted by a super nice waitress. She always had time even though the restaurant was full and she was alone. The food is all freshly prepared and was delicious. Changes to the court were no problem at all. Price-performance is more than justified. I can only recommend the liver dumplings. We'll definitely be back. Please keep it up. Full points A special thanks again to the great service.

Down-to-earth, solid cuisine. I like the price-performance ratio. Friendly and nice service.

Geburtstagsabend in der Dorfschenke. Die Dekoration und das Essen sind großart . Vielen Dank für alles.

Ganz tolles Essen, sehr freundliche Bedienung, das Lokal ist sehr klein und eng aber gemütlich. Das Essen war sehr, sehr lecker, die Vorspeisen exzellent und der Schnitzel war zart und frisch. Vielen Dank

Update November 2023: Zuerst standen wir an einem Samstagmittag vor verschlossener Tür… nun sind leider (bis auf So) alle Mittagsöffnungzeiten weggefallen…sehr, sehr schade…wird sicher seine Gründe haben! Weiterhin alles Gute. Freundlich * serviceorientiert * lecker * auch Speisen, die es nicht an jeder Ecke gibt * gerne wieder 👍👍👍

Nettes kleines Restaurant,sehr gutes Essen große Portionen.Gerne wieder

Tolles, sehr reichhaltiges Essen zu fairen Preisen in gemütlichem Ambiente. Kindergerecht. Es wurden 2 Sonderwünsche anstandslos und sehr lecker umgesetzt. Freundliche zuvorkommende Bedienung. Für uns ganz wichtig!!! ==> Ehrliches Kochen, alles selbst zubereitet, deshalb nimmt man gerne eine etwas längere Wartezeit in Kauf. Es lohnt sich!!!!

Perfekter Service, hervorragende hausgemachte Gerichte und super Portionen.

Vielen Dank für dieses tolle Essen und diesen Service 🙏 Es war für uns ein wundervoller Abend, danke 🤩

Eine absolute Weiterempfehlung. Sehr tolles Essen, sowohl geschmacklich als auch die Tellersprache. Meines Erachtens für jeden etwas dabei inkl. für die Kleinen - Kinderkarte. Die waren absolut von den rostigen Rittern als Dessert begeistert. Können alles empfehlen was wir hatten. Rumpsteak, Kalbsschnitzel, Kabeljaufilet. Tolle Weine runden alles ab. Sehr aufmerksames und freundliches Personal. Für uns ein mehr als gelungener Abend.

Spontan entschlossen haben wir ein Restaurant in Wohnortnähe gesucht und sind bei der uns bis dato unbekannten Dorfschänke in Bad Dürkheim gelandet. Reservierung per Telefon war kein Problem trotz recht kurzfristiger Buchung. Der Service war sehr gut. Wir haben unterschiedliche Gerichte gegessen und waren zu dritt alle sehr zufrieden mit dem Essen sowie mit den Nachspeisen. Ich kann das Restaurant rundum nur empfehlen. Gerne kommen wir wieder. Die Portionen waren genau richtig dimensioniert und wurden gekonnt garniert.

Sehr lecker......ganz toll! Sehr zu empfehlen!

Sehr sehr lecker, sehr zu empfehlen! Auch der Service, sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Auch alles sehr sauber. Ich komme auf jeden Fall wieder.

Kommen aus Bonn, waren heute, 28.10. dort essen, sehr lecker, Saumagen und Leberknödel

Familiäre Atmosphäre, sehr gemütlich, mega leckeres Essen, sehr gute Bedienung, kommen sehr gerne wieder!

Wir waren zum Abendessen und wurden super freundlich von Aga bedient. Wir waren im Außenbereich gesessen, da es die Temperaturen noch zuließen. . Wir hatten jeweils eine Vorspeise, Peperoni und Scampi und eine Hauptspeise Wiener Schnitzel und einmal Risotto mit Zander Filet. Geschmacklich sehr lecker und auch schön angerichtet. Vielen Dank an Aga für den hervorragenden Service und an die Küche für das leckere Essen. Wir kommen nächste Woche wieder mit Freunden.

I must recommend this place. This place has wonderful and beautiful ambiance. If you are visiting in summer, this place covered with peaceful decor.

Uns hat es sehr gut gefallen. Das Essen ist mega lecker und die Bedienung ist super nett und locker. Gerne wieder

Das Gasthaus hat unsere Erwartungen in jeder Hinsicht übertroffen! Das Ambiente war gemütlich und einladend, das Personal äußerst freundlich und aufmerksam, und das Essen war einfach hervorragend. Wir genossen eine köstliche Auswahl an regionalen Gerichten, die frisch zubereitet wurden und einen wahren Gaumenschmaus darstellten. Die Getränkeauswahl war ebenfalls super. Wir fühlten uns während unseres gesamten Aufenthalts bestens umsorgt und werden definitiv wiederkommen. Unsere Hochzeit im "Zur Dorfschänke" wird für immer in unseren Herzen bleiben. Wir können dieses Gasthaus wärmstens empfehlen, um Ihre besonderen Anlässe zu feiern. Ein großes Lob und Vielen Dank an das gesamte Team.
