SPICETRAILS in Freiburg im Breisgau

Very good discovery, South East Asian style soul food!

Fast service, friendly staff and cool stickers at the bar!

Wir waren heute zum Mittigessen da. Ein dunkles nicht so fröhlliches Restaurant. Das Essen war gut, aber nicht übereältigend. Preis eher hoch. Für zwei recht einfache Essen und eine Flasche Wasser 39.00 Euro.

Modern restaurant with a relaxed atmosphere, creative, delicious cuisine and very friendly service. Freshly prepared dishes are offered that surprise you, something incomparable in Freiburg. Highly recommended!

Unfortunately the food was quite a disappointment for me :-( I don't live in Freiburg, I'm in the hospital here and had it delivered to me. I love Thai salad. I know this restaurant is "cross over" cuisine, but the salad really had nothing to do with som tam. Too much lemon and no chili, not my taste at all. However, it was fresh and crunchy. The "crispy" tofu was crispy, but had neither been marinated nor seasoned beforehand. The peanut dip that I had ordered was simply inedible for me. Fries were ok. Maybe I'm just spoiled because I'm passionate about vegan and Asian cooking. It's a shame in any case, I was looking forward to this meal days before.

The food wasn't 100% authentic, but still very good. Unfortunately it is very loud in the guest room. You definitely have to make a reservation.

Food was good, fresh ingredients and great fluffy baguette. Prices moderate, not necessarily cheap. The tip request on the payment machine (10/15/20%) is simply cheeky given that we haven't had the food yet and haven't been served yet. Too bad

Super delicious food, friendly service. I don't like the ambience that much, prices are quite high.

Order lunch at the counter at the front. Followed by direct payment and the card reader asking you to tip at least 10%. Even though I generally find the query annoying, the 10%, 15% and 20% tip levels (I think that's what they were) are outrageous. Especially because I can't even judge the food and I just order at the counter. That's actually the reason for me not to come back because I don't want to support something like that. And I actually always tip at least 10% for average performance. I thought the food was okay, but the rice wasn't quite cooked and quite dry.

Excellent food, I highly recommend this place ! We tried the Beef curry butter style and the Chicken noodles. Both very tasty!

one of the best restaurants in Freiburg! The service is always super nice and attentive and the food always tastes just as good. You can rely on it always being of the same quality!

Great atmosphere, super fine food. Vegan and healthy. Pleasantly quiet, what more could you want. Great keep it up🙏😀

Noodles were very good. Cucumber salad good. Garlic bread/pita was well. Drink selection very good.

All starters eaten. It was really tasty

Service was ok. Food was very poor to say the least, and completely over priced for what it is. Beef curry wasn't curry at all, meat poorly cooked, and we couldn't find any flavour in this dish. Felt like frozen food serve at the table. We were excited to see the "Mango sticky rice" in the menu, it's not the Thai dessert, not even similar. It is just warm rice with a mango mermelada, without coconut sauce, all flavourless as well. The best was my Ganter bottled beer. We couldn't believe it eyes when saw the score of the reviews. Maybe something changed here. We won't come back, felt like a waste of date, time and money.

They have a lot of vegan and vegetarian options alongside some meat options. My friend got the fish and chips, which she liked a lot. I got the tofu sub with fries (which was amazing and a great portion), and my partner got the vegan bowl. We all really enjoyed the food— it’s full of flavor and the portions are good for the price. The service is also nice— but note that you order at the counter and then they will bring your meal to your table. If you’re in Freiburg and are looking for vegan food, I highly suggest this place.

We went there for dinner but without reservation. We got a corner table facing the wall. The waitress was rude and impolite. Indonesian noodles were too salty and the chicken laksa was disappointing. Menu and reviews lead to higher expectations, but never again!

Selection and taste is outstanding. You can tell that a lot of effort was put into the ingredients and the composition. I can only recommend it! The branch in Rieselfeld is also great.

Very tasty food and something for every taste :) We particularly like the spiciness and the fact that there are many vegan options.

Indian home cooking would be great! On December 13th, 2024 Ralph and I were at Spice Trails for the first time. We chose this restaurant because we read interesting things about it in the Badische Zeitung. The ambience was more sober than we had imagined, but the noise level was pleasant in the early evening. The service was friendly and we had our drinks quickly. Unfortunately, my dish - lentil curry - was a disappointment. I couldn't taste what spices were used. But they didn't work together and too much of one spice had been used. The yoghurt that was to be served with it was in a thin spiral on the warm lentils. Here I would like more yogurt in a separate bowl. During my travels to India, I often ate traditional home cooking. Simple, cooked with few ingredients and a lot of love! I have never had anything like this in a German restaurant. But maybe that's asking too much?

We had made a reservation and were really looking forward to the meal because we had read an interesting article about the restaurant in the BZ. Unfortunately we had to be annoyed by the very arrogant and unfriendly service with the piercings. So we left without eating.

DE / EN below In Freiburg you really have to come here. We were looking for a dinner location not too far away from our centrally located hotel and came across Spicetrails. Local ingredients, organic and also vegan options? Sounded promising and in the end it was. It really tasted so delicious. We had Indonesian noodles (to die for!), Laksa (curry mie noodles with breaded tofu) and lentil dal with rice. Everything tasted good without exception. Compared to the first two, the lentil dal was slightly less good but still excellent. The noodles and laksa tasted very tasty, were nicely presented and the portions were a good size. But the taste made me wish I never stopped eating. The restaurant is small, service was quick and the food came quickly. Now nothing where you can go out for a fancy meal, but the taste is simply great. All in all a 10/10 for me. —- We had Indonesian noodles (a dream!), Laksa (curry noodle soup with crispy tofu), and lentil dal with rice. Everything tasted absolutely delicious. Compared to the first two dishes, the lentil dal was slightly less impressive, but still excellent. The noodles and the laksa were bursting with flavor, beautifully presented, and the portions were a good size. The taste was so incredible that I never wanted to stop eating. The restaurant is small, the service was pretty quick, and the food arrived promptly. It’s not a place for fancy dining, but the flavors are simply top-notch. All in all, a solid 10/10 for me.

Enjoy your meal. Something different.

The very best quality and superbly seasoned. Absolutely recommended

Normally very happy with the food. I noticed on my return that 1) the portions are a lot smaller and 2) in the beef curry that is my favourite dish the meat was drier than sand. I pointed this out to the two servers. One might have expected a complimentary espresso, but there was very little interest. A shame as I'd bigged up the dish to my friend. My dish was excellent.

We've eaten there a few times already. The concept, the quality, the connection of the different Asian styles and regional influences. Strong. So at the beginning of the year I celebrated my birthday with you. We were about 25 people. The contact was uncomplicated beforehand, changes were no problem and my advance wishes for the menu were even more than fulfilled. The service was great, relaxed. Everything in view. Apero with the hot spicy fries. The subs for the children and our salads, starters, curries and dumplings. Dessert. Cracker. And everything on the table to share with each other. Good wine and a great selection of drinks. Also non-alcoholic. It's needed sometimes ;) There was also good music. Thanks for that!

Order confirmed by email from Lieferando at 20:50. Restaurant calls me at 22 saying that the kitchen closed at 21:30. What kind of service is this? I’m sorry but nope.

Cool, modern and nice service! We were there with 20 people and despite the group size we had a great evening! Thanks!

Really delicious food and super nice and good service. Sara from the kitchen is the best 🫶🏻

Super cool fusion cuisine! There were three of us there and although there was a lot going on, we didn't have to wait long for our food. I've never had such a good chicken sub! We'll definitely be back.

Chicken sub is absolutely delicious

It was great there, the owners are also top class and super nice :) it's a hotspot in Freiburg, I can recommend everyone to stop by <3

Always very tasty. It's great that there are so many vegan, delicious dishes here. The Korean bowl with tofu is particularly delicious. It's a shame that many of the reviews don't understand that this restaurant is Asian Fusion and not an authentic restaurant.

So overall the experience was bad. I ordered a spicy dish, but the spice definitely got lost in the trail. The food was so oily, America would come to invade it. Instead of noodles they just used normal spaghetti pasta. The waitress did not even clean our table and It took forever to get her attention to pay the bill. Additionally the prices are to high for such a poor quality.

Beef curry was ok Indo noodles and try them all very bad The flavor bouquet, if it even deserves the name, lacks any composition Overpriced, not authentically Asian and unfortunately not tasty once and never again

Super delicious food. I had fried noodles with a delicate sauce and cooked chicken. It was very good and particularly seasoned. Definitely recommended

Went there as a family with 3 children. Very cool shop with a great menu and great atmosphere. Very tasty Asian food, lots of vegetarian and vegan but also with meat and fish.

Das Spicetrails ist eines meiner Lieblingsrestaurants in Freiburg. Sehr leckere südostasiatische Küche. Tolle Specials wie Wine&Dine und 3+4-Gänge-Menüs in Kooperation mit einem Heidelberger Koch. Coole Atmosphäre im Stammlokal in der City. Einziger Wehmutstropfen - “früher” hat die Karte deutlich öfters gewechselt. Das fand ich toll, weil es so immer etwas Neues zu entdecken gab. Das hat in den letzten Monaten etwas nachgelassen, die Karte hat sich seither nicht mehr geändert. Das ist schade, deswegen gibt es auch nur 4 statt 5 Punkte.

The food was delicious. The ambience is really cool and the restaurant is right in the city center. The waitress, however, the young lady with the piercings, was a disaster. She was extremely rude and disrespectful towards us. The order was taken half-heartedly and there were also stupid sayings. Such a work ethic is truly bad for business. It's a shame... so we won't be coming back.

My last evening in Freiburg ended at Spicetrails with Korean Bowl and turmeric tea. The service was very nice, the food came quickly and, above all, was really tasty. The chicken was very flavorful and tender, the kimchi was tasty and the rice was spot on. I would have liked sticky rice better, but that's personal preference. Overall great.

The food was really excellent! Highly recommended! The tea is wonderful too!

The food was OK. Is more for people who would like to eat vegetarian or vegan.

Go there spontaneously and get a place straight away. Very nice service and nice ambience. The ingredients and food are regional, which I personally think is really good. Small but good selection of dishes. Very tasty and well coordinated. We'd love to come back :)

I ordered chicken with sweet and sour sauce, it was a very small portion and the chicken was very thin. Sitting inside is also very uncomfortable as you sit right next to the kitchen and are disturbed by the noises all the time. Overall, the food wasn't tasty, the portion was far too small and the atmosphere was anything but pleasant.

Amazing restaurant! Innovative cuisine that couldn't taste better, paired with excellent service - absolutely recommended!

Super tasty food and fast service. It's definitely worth making a reservation, luckily we found a spot 🙂

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ SpiceTrails absolutely thrilled us! The fish and chips were perfectly crispy, the black dal was wonderfully seasoned, and the chicken noodles were an absolute highlight. Every dish was a culinary delight that convinced all three of us. The service was also top notch and the ambience completed the entire experience. We will definitely be back and would recommend the restaurant to anyone who wants to experience authentic, delicious flavors. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The price was pretty reasonable, the portion was just right, the food was a bit too salty for me but the service was quick and efficient. Overall nice dining experience.

Food was kind of tasteless. For the name of the shop and the rating l was expecting more flavors A bit overpriced for a fast food shop We ordered 3 dishes and 2 starters and we experienced the same with all. The service was nice though :)

Very tasty food. Not too expensive. And nice service

The restaurant has a large selection. Service is very friendly.

Mediocre food, the Korean bowl is as far as possible from home.

Very tasty and somewhat unusual dishes. Not exactly cheap, but in my opinion the price-performance ratio was still good. Also highly recommended for vegans - not only delicious but also protein-rich dishes :)

I was here for the third time today and every time it tasted great.

Too expensive for the quality. It's not worth it. They also didn't sell anything decent to drink.

I had Korean vegan bowl, it was alright but I wouldn’t say it was great. In terms of price I found it expensive. I think it could be better, the flavours where not according to the price and the hype they set. All in all it was a fine experience the girl who took my order was so sweet and accommodating.

I have rarely eaten something so delicious (tempura cauliflower and black dal). A little spicy was the ideal level of spiciness for me, who doesn't really tolerate spicy food well.

We saw the restaurant on Tiktok and had high expectations. The restaurant is nicely designed and the service is good. Unfortunately, we were disappointed with the food... we ordered a dish without coriander, but there was a lot of coriander on it. The salad was drenched in dressing and the Thai curry was far too runny. For this disappointment the visit was already expensive.

The store was fine. The service was definitely nice and on the ball. Was there for a little snack in the evening. Good location & pleasant atmosphere. Prices were definitely pretty decent for the little things I enjoyed there.

It's really tasty, the team is super friendly and I think the prices are okay too!

We ate here spontaneously and were overwhelmed by the taste. Great service, super tasty food and large portions. We'd love to come back

Since the market hall didn't appeal to us due to the lack of seating, we came across your restaurant. The food tasted delicious and better than expected. The service also gets a straight A! We also found the ambience great and the music chosen to accompany it. The toilet area is also clean. We need a restaurant like this in the north!

kleines, schmales Lokal( etwas dunkel) im Bermudadreieck. Bestellt wird vorne an der Theke im Self Service. Wir hatten ein Duo von zwei verschiedenen Curry zum probieren. Restaurant an sich war sauber, wir waren zur Mittagszeit da, es war halb gefüllt. Bedienung war freundlich. Nun zum Essen: geschmacklich kann ich den anderen Bewertungen hier nicht zu stimmen. es war jetzt nicht schlecht, aber es waren keine fünf Sterne. Ich war selbst viel in Asien unterwegs und kenne die Küche sehr gut.

I can't say anything about the service or the ambience since I ordered something. The food is really good and fresh, which is probably why it's a bit more expensive, but you might want to correct the "order" card. The homemade oil, which is offered surprisingly cheaply, does not contain 50ml (unfortunately ^^) - at most 20ml or less.

Very tasty, lots of fresh herbs, especially the fries are highly recommended. I just find it a bit annoying that you have to leave early because the table has to be available again

I was here for the first time last Saturday and can recommend the little resti 👍🏼 Good food, nice service and pleasant atmosphere, located relatively centrally in the old town 😊

The fried chicken sub is highly recommended. Together with the fries it is a very tasty combination. I couldn't find any Asian beer (it would have fit the concept very well) but it's a great location for a quick, delicious meal in a cool atmosphere.

Weekend trip to Freiburg and you are looking for a good location for good cuisine. Spice trails were recommended and there. What can you say? The name definitely says it all here!! Set off and discover the world of spices! The name Spicetrails says nothing else. It's worth diving into the dishes and tasting the different flavors. The menu is clear and, thank God, not as overloaded as is often the case. Less is often more!! The wine recommendations were absolutely consistent with the dishes and were a real pleasure. The beer selection is also highly recommended and is a great alternative for non-wine drinkers. In addition, there is a highly attentive, courteous service that, in my opinion, served the guests excellently at all times. Last but not least, it should be noted that the majority of ingredients are used from local suppliers. For me, that's where sustainability begins, top!!! Thumbs up for this hot spot in Freiburg, absolutely recommended!!!!

The Korean vegan bowl was very tasty and so was the dessert. No long waiting times and friendly service.

Delicious food, different than expected, tasty spices but a little overpriced. Otherwise you could happily go there more often.

Delicious but very manageable portion at a fairly decent price...

Great atmosphere except ambient music selection. A service person is very pretty and nice but not very experienced. Food ok. I ate some soup. Green tea was awesome. Pretty plates and co.

Great offer for vegans, extremely friendly, competent and committed service staff who gave a fantastic recommendation. The KIMCHIDOG was really great!!!! I'll be back!!!

Super tasty 😋, keep it up. Thank you 🙏

+ Everything! + Freshly cooked, very unusual dishes + Large portions + Attentive and fast service + Reservation and card payment possible + Large selection of vegan dishes

Imagine you come to a restaurant and every time you see only females working there. At this restaurant it's like that just the other way around. It's a place that seem to employ only male for some reason. The world have more than 1 sex... Secondly, from day 1 this business chose to use a paying method that puts the customer in an awkward position at the payment part. Before being able to pay, they make you press buttons about the tip amount, even when you just buy take away! So rude and awkward... why would you do that to customers? And the cherry on the top - if you don't press anything and just place your card so the machin will charge the amount you supposed to pay - it will charge yip automatically!!! Crazy. Nice food, but guys, you gotta change some things there...

Sehr lecker, frische Zutaten - Gemüse knackig, Kräuter aromatisch. Sehr netter Service. Und dazu noch „regional“. Preis-Leistung absolut in Ordnung. Sehr zu empfehlen!

A really cozy restaurant with very friendly service. The food was also really good, but the prices were high for the quantity. I'm happy to pay almost €20 for a curry with really tasty fried aubergines, but the amount of curry can hardly be called a curry; I had to eat half of the rice almost dry. And it included maybe 7-8 pieces of other vegetables. I think that's a bit outrageous for a curry - no matter the price. It's a shame, because everything else was great!!

very tasty, varied and sometimes rather “unusual” dishes, service also very friendly!

Very friendly service. Very tasty food. A successful evening. Was eaten: Spiced chilli noodles🤩

Very tasty cuisine! The location is great and there is a good selection of different dishes. The lunch menu is a little cheaper.

Eater top. Service quick and friendly. Only the prices are a bit high.

We had our wedding dinner there and absolutely loved it. The combination of spices and flavors here is something very special compared to the usual Asian restaurants that you are familiar with. But the service and communication were also great for such a large group. Our wishes were always taken into account. Highly recommended for vegans and we will be coming back soon as a couple.

The food was good and the portions were relatively large. However, I was surprised to see a Russian playlist playing in the restaurant. After we asked, the staff eventually switched to an English language playlist. However, I found the choice of a Russian playlist to be more than inappropriate, it wasn't just a song

Last night's expedition to Spice Trails was, in a word, bewildering. Our evening began with eager anticipation but quickly turned into a comedy of errors that not even a seasoned sitcom writer could have conjured up. For starters, our journey into the unknown began when we ordered their much-raved-about “Hot Bowl”. To our surprise, what arrived at our table was the “The Surprise Bowl”. Confused, we flagged down a server, who cheerfully informed us that the kitchen had decided to change our order without notice, as they had run out of chickpeas. Apparently, we were the chosen ones for their culinary experiment of the day - a surprise dish! If only we had a taste for adventure as strong as our taste for dal. But the plot thickens. In an attempt to stay hydrated (and slightly buzzed), we ordered a gin and tonic, expecting a refreshing sip of botanical bliss. Instead, what we got was a drink that looked like it had been garnished with the remnants of autumn - two dried lime leaves. Curiosity got the better of us, and upon inquiring about this peculiar choice, we were told, in the most nonchalant manner, that they were simply out of fresh garnishes and decided that old, dried lime leaves would suffice. It seems Spice Trails is not just a restaurant, but a time capsule for botanical relics. In summary, dining at Spice Trails felt like being in an episode of a culinary mystery show, where the mystery is what you’re actually going to get versus what you ordered. While the staff's improvisation skills are commendable, my palate is not as adventurous. This one-time gastronomic escapade into the unknown will be just that - a one-time affair. Farewell, Spice Trails, where the only spice you truly delivered was the spice of unpredictability.

We were unfortunately disappointed with our visit here. Overall, 2 out of 5 stars sounds like a reasonable rating. While the food wasn't inedible, it lacked the vibrancy and flavors we expect from South Asian cuisine. The menu itself felt like a confusing mix of influences, and the concept didn't quite come together.

Simply incredibly delicious food, very friendly service and all around great! We'll definitely be back! The minimal, tiny drawback may be the acoustics, but that's complaining at a high level

DANGER! We ordered “surprise me” ONCE for €35 for me and my partner. According to the menu you can order this for 2 people or more and the price is €35 excluding per person. Note or other note. The end of the song was a bill of almost €80 for mini portions and one dessert. We felt cheated!

Here, “made with love” really takes on a new meaning. The food tastes lovingly prepared, the spices are fresh and perfectly balanced! Our absolute favorite restaurant in Freiburg 🤩🤩🤩

The food was very tasty! It would be cool if there were also homemade (non-alcoholic) drinks and paper towels in the toilets. :)

We ate very well. Healthy and varied cuisine. You can go there without hesitation.

Great discovery! Delicious food, very clean place and super nice boss! Es war sehr lecker!

1a service with excellent food. Five stars without compromise 👍🏼

Der Service war freundlich und aufmerksam. Das Essen und das Bier waren sehr lecker. Es gab ausschließlich Flaschenbier, das vergleichsweise teuer ist, deshalb einen Punkt Abzug. Wer gern scharf und nicht 0815-asiatisch essen möchte, ist hier aber sehr gut aufgehoben 👍👍

Damage 😊💯 Simply always good! No matter what day, whether lunch or evening, the taste and quality are always top. Nice, personal shop with a nice team. Recommendation, in addition to everything else, is the surprise menu with 3 courses. Price-performance is unbeatable, as each course consists of several samples and the menu is therefore very diverse. I recently ordered delivery and I was really happy with it too. Quality as usual and the food was still warm and hot 👌🏼 Just too much because I couldn't decide and the portions were generous 😁 I had some more the next day, which I wasn't sad about 😉 Conclusion: Always more than happy.

Très bon et prix très raisonnable. Ambiance très sympa, le personnel est agréable et beaucoup de soin a été apporté à la décoration.

Amazing place. Asian fusion with an original twist + great homemade kimchi as a bonus!

Coming from Colmar, it was a great experience! Tasty and generous portion 🔥 I recommend ✌🏽 We will come back with pleasure

Love it! Very good food and fair prices 🙌🏼

Fast, tasty and friendly lunch option. Dogs allowed.
