Soul Salad Salat mit Herz und Seele in Heidelberg

We had a pumpkin soup as a starter, two side salads as a main course, rump steak with herb butter and fries, the shrimp ragout with Mediterranean grilled vegetables and tagliatelle and as dessert the apple strudel and the chocolate soufflé. The food was really good and the service was friendly and accommodating. The price-performance ratio was quite reasonable.

The two of us stumbled in by chance because we wanted to have a glass of wine after shopping. One glass suddenly became a real wine tasting. The owner opened a variety of wines for us, which was a real surprise and was great service. That was very personable and very competent. There are great wines. His female support in service was also in a good mood and noticeably nice. For dinner we ordered two tarte flambées, which seemed a bit expensive at first (which is not a criterion) but they were some of the best we've ever had, well topped, crispy and simply delicious. Thanks also for the fig pomace. We are already looking forward to the next time.

Location looks good, service is ok, and the food itself tastes good too, BUT: The prices for the size are just horrendous compared to what you get, even when you factor in inflation etc. Special rolls, which cost >15€ per roll and consist of 8 pieces, are so short, small and the pieces are so narrow... and then there is not much fish in them. So a sushi roll that actually only has fish + 1 ingredient in it should consist of at least 2/3 fish and 1/3 ingredient... and overall the fish makes up at least 1/2 of the roll. Here the rolls barely consist of 1/5 fish, the rest is rice, other ingredients etc., and then tiny rolls. We had several starters and 3 special rolls, 2 x 8 pieces, 1 x 5 pieces. We were already full at other restaurants, but here I left hungry again, and that for almost €60 for it. 2 pictures for comparison, the mango/salmon roll from Ginza, although delicious, but unfortunately small enough to starve and hardly any fish, and in contrast, sushi from a street vendor, much larger, 2/3 fish (tuna). Sorry, but please adjust your sizes, then I'll be happy to come back because it tasted delicious. Otherwise you have to budget at least €80-100 just for food to fill you up, and that's too much. Plus I want to eat sushi (fish) and not mainly other ingredients. p.s.: You can really leave out the smoke, or at least ask if you want that. Not all customers have to Instagram their food...

How do you manage to get the opening times right is really not practical

Nice location that doesn't often exist with a meadow etc. Self-service food is ok. Solid experience.
