Steins Traube in Mainz

We received a very warm welcome, and the staff and manager were very attentive. The manager conjured up a fantastic menu for us. We'll be back.

I had a wonderful lunch at Steins Traube. We did the light menu (menu legere) which came with 5 courses not including petit fours. The staff were very patient and kind with non-German speakers such as myself. We started the meal with non-alcoholic drinks and "snacks" (which overlapped with the starter of our menu). In our case, it was curried prawns covered with katifai. Then we had a burrata dish, a prawn dish, chicken, and dessert. All of the dishes were delicious and not too big or heavy which was fitting for the lighter tasting menu. We learned that the restaurant is owned by a husband and wife and the wife (Alina) served us some of our dishes and she was very friendly. Their kids were in the restaurant during our meal so it was cute to see them wandering around. Definitely recommend having a meal at Steins Traube.

Always looking for a very good restaurant with the right cuisine, we visited "Steins Traube." In short – a highly recommended place. Both the interior and the friendly and professional service were immediately convincing. To get to know the place on our first visit, we opted for the Menue Legere. We couldn't have chosen a better option. All courses – including the wine pairing – were perfectly matched. Conclusion: You can, no, you simply must come back. Many thanks again to the entire team!!

We had a wonderful evening. Every dish was unique, flavorful, and very creative and delicious. There's absolutely nothing to criticize.

Six of us visited Steins Traube for the first time and received a very warm welcome despite being delayed by an hour (due to traffic). Both the food and the service were impressive across the board. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Steins Traube!

It was DELICIOUS, and your service was excellent and friendly 😊 We all felt completely at home and would love to come back!

Michelin-starred chef without frills, Simply a delight!

The food is excellent! The service, in my opinion, could be improved (mixed up appetizers, wrong cutlery set). But that's complaining at a very high level!

The restaurant is beautifully decorated and the food is very tasty, the service is also very friendly.

This is an excellent restaurant, with wonderful service and divine food! I highly recommend a visit!

A fantastic restaurant, the food was delicious, the atmosphere was wonderful and quiet. The hosts were very nice.

We spent a lovely evening on the terrace and enjoyed an excellent dinner. The ingredients were truly high-quality and fresh, and the food was perfectly prepared. The warm seafood salad is highly recommended. The wine list is very extensive and well-stocked. A true delight for Riesling lovers. The service is very professional and attentive. If you reserve a table in the back, you can still enjoy the last rays of evening sunshine.

Magnificent, perfectly seasoned food, excellent and super-courteous service, and a wonderful atmosphere. A-list – we'd be happy to return anytime! Thank you, dear Stein family!

We were there during white asparagus season and they really showcased the local dish beautifully. Did the smaller of the two tasting menus and every dish was delicious. Attentive but not overbearing service.

The two of us were there yesterday, and everything was just perfect. Great atmosphere, friendly and welcoming hosts, and the food is simply fantastic. We'll be back.

We had a great evening there with very good food and a large wine list. The service was outstanding, very warm and accommodating. Thank you very much. We would love to come back

Had a business event here in a separate room. Food, wine and service was on point. The room could use another half meter and a little more love, but that's complaining at a super high level. And 3 more parking spaces ;) Thanks for the great food.

Great service, beautiful location, good food—but definitely not enough for one star! I'm a little sorry! Because the service and atmosphere are top-notch.

Top-notch cuisine & service! Thank you!

To keep it short, we'll be back! What can I say? Just go there and let yourself be pampered with culinary delights. The cooking here is of the highest caliber. Absolutely and without reservation. Anyone who has something to complain about should stay home.

One of the few Michelin-starred restaurants that has remained down-to-earth. Here, you can occasionally deviate from the menu. For vegans, everything is possible with advance notice. And most importantly, the food is just as delicious as any other dish. Highly recommended!

My favorite and regular restaurant

We can only recommend Steins Traube. We have been regular guests here on Valentine's Day for five years - because we also had our wedding there on February 14th. celebrated. The food is simply an absolute highlight. Philipp Stein has an incomparable way of combining flavors and every dish is simply a highlight. We have never been disappointed. The wines are selected with love and are always something special. The waiters make you feel comfortable from the first moment and as if you were an old friend. It all just feels incredibly consistent. We will continue to treat ourselves to this experience once a year.

I mentioned before that my wife is pregnant. There are a lot of things she isn't allowed to eat and it was perfect despite the circumstance! The hostess welcomed us perfectly! Each dish was customized for her. It's unbelievable how good the service is and how much the service pays attention to the right moment with every move. Do you want to eat stars? 11 out of 10 say YES! I can only recommend it to everyone to have such an experience.🤍

Very important. I give my opinion here. We reserved a table for Valentine's Day. A fixed menu sequence was offered. The food was great. The service attentive and polite. For me it felt like there were a bit too many service staff. The atmosphere is not my thing and, as we all know, is a matter of taste. The guest room is kept very clean. As usual for a star kitchen, the prices are very high.

After (too) a long time, I spontaneously went to Steins Traube for lunch. Great ambience, great service and of course very good food!

Sehr leckeres Menü. Sehr netter Service. Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt.

We had a wonderful and relaxing evening at Steins Traube. The welcome was very warm, everything was explained well to us and we were also impressed by the flexibility of the menu combinations. That was a really nice experience. We'd love to come back!

Unfortunately, our visit to Steins Traube began with disappointment: when we arrived, we were informed that we would not be dining in the stylish main room of the restaurant, but in a small side room located across the courtyard. Unfortunately, we were not informed of this when we made our reservation over the phone, which dampened our expectations from the start. The next room looks like a typical Gutsschänke in a Rheinhessen winery - rustic furnishings, a Christmas tree and an artificial oven. Unfortunately, the elegance and timelessness that the main room exudes and that you expect from a star restaurant was missing. Unfortunately, Ms. Stein did not respond to our feedback in an insightful manner or with an apology. Only the suggestion to make a reservation in the main room on future visits was offered - an offer that unfortunately did not alleviate the acute situation. The spatial conditions led to some inconveniences: 1. The door to the room was stiff, so staff often had to kick it open, causing a loud slam. The constant draft and noise were disturbing and spoiled the experience. 2. Instead of jazz or classical, Christmas music was played that was too loud and poppy. Although it was turned down when asked, it still didn't fit the ambience of a restaurant of this class. 3. Instead of a proper coat rack, there was only a wall hook with hangers available, which was located directly behind our table. The cloakroom was not very attractive and there were disturbances from other guests. 4. Since the food had to be transported across the yard, it rained lightly on the plates - an unacceptable circumstance for a star restaurant. Seating and service issues: 1. The three of us were seated at two tables set together for two. The space for one person was right in the annoying gap between the unequally high tables, which also wobbled. A normal meal was not possible, which is why we had to change the clothes ourselves. 2. Although the dishes were presented in a friendly manner, there was sometimes a lack of expertise. For example, B. the wrong origin of the Swiss Vacherin Mont-d'Or cheese used. 3. Our waiter suggested Pinot Gris with the fish quite generically, without going into personal preferences, vintage or ageing of the wine. His statement that he had not tried many of the wines on offer himself was disappointing - in such cases it would have made sense to refer him to a more competent colleague. The food was without a doubt excellent: creative, high quality and absolutely worthy of the Michelin star. But a visit to a restaurant depends on more than good food - the atmosphere, service and the overall experience also have to be convincing. For a Michelin star restaurant with corresponding prices, our expectations were corresponding, but the sum of the deficiencies and the lack of communication in advance unfortunately spoiled the enjoyment. The Hotel-Restaurant Erbprinz in Ettlingen offers a better example. There, the gourmet restaurant (with one star) and the wine bar are run in different rooms, but under one roof. While the gourmet restaurant impresses with top service and an upscale atmosphere, the wine bar offers a high-quality but more casual experience at more moderate prices. If Steins Traube had adapted this approach and clearly communicated the adjoining room as a rustic alternative with a correspondingly adjusted price level, we would have been able to better manage our expectations. In its current form, however, we unfortunately cannot say with a clear conscience that the restaurant has earned its star in every respect.

We have on December 8th. celebrated our wedding anniversary there and it was just a wonderful evening with really delicious food and a great atmosphere.

Exceptionally delicious food, in a tasteful atmosphere.....😋

Alice was a wonderful host but the food speaks louder than words ! Wonderfully delighted with such great taste in such a quaint location. It deserves a 3 star in my humble opinion. We had the duck confit (thinly crisp skin with such tender meat) and the beef fillet (what savory heavenly sauce) 😋much to rave about the duck fat butter as well - would drive 1000 miles just to taste that butter again!

Durchaus ein sehr gutes Restaurant, das sein Michelin-Rating verdient. Innovative Gerichte und eine ausgezeichnete Weinkarte

Hervorragendes Menü. Toller, freundlicher Service. Gerne wieder!

Everything excellent. Brought some goose to take home. Great, again and again.

Outstanding restaurant and very nice food and service. Really enjoy every time I am there. Thanks for the service.

We visited Steins Traube on a Saturday evening. When we entered the modern dining room, we were greeted by a rather loud backdrop for a gourmet restaurant. Yes, the restaurant was completely full, but my first impression, both visually and acoustically, reminded me more of a bistro than a gourmet restaurant. My personal taste generally lacks a bit of coziness in the guest room. The menu offered a great selection and it wasn't easy to decide. As a starter I chose the lobster soup, which was classically prepared and excellent. In the main course I had a saddle of veal. This course was also absolutely harmonious and excellent. What was definitely worth highlighting was the fantastic jus. There were four of us that evening and we were all very satisfied and impressed with the quality of the food. Visually, without exception, all the dishes were very elaborate and delicately prepared. The sweet conclusion matched the taste and appearance of the previous courses. The service was very good considering the full restaurant, with minimal inattention. But this didn't put a damper on the evening. We felt like we were in very good culinary hands and would love to come back.

Warm, very competent service, sensational food. Simply wonderful...over and over again!

Everything was perfect - you don't get such a combination of exquisite cuisine, excellent service and a cozy atmosphere every day. Thank you very much.

It was our first time in Steins Traube and we were still welcomed as old friends! We felt comfortable from the first moment. The service is excellent, the food cannot be described, it was so delicious. The wine selection completes the whole picture perfectly. Clear recommendation, if I could I would give it 6/5 stars!

Ich habe als Überraschung für meine Partnerin dort einen Tisch zum Geburtstag reserviert. Mit telefonischer Rücksprache würde der Tisch mit einem kleinen Blumengesteck geschmückt und das Menü angepasst, da sie keinen Fisch isst. Alles verlief reibungslos. Das Essen inklusive Weinbegleitung war ein Traum und die Größe vom Hauptgericht hat uns positiv überrascht. Wir kommen wieder 😊

Such a wonderful experience 🤩the food was great and the staff and owners are just so sweet and funny. Definately go again next time I'm in Mainz 🌟😍 Hi from Denmark 🙌🎅

Dass man in Steins Traube gut essen kann, hat sich mittlerweile im ganzen Rhein-Main Gebiet herumgesprochen. Einzigartig aber ist der ebenso liebevolle wie effiziente Service und für alle Weinliebhaber die grandiose Weinbegleitung. Selbst zwei und drei Sterne Restaurants können diesen Standard nicht bieten. Zudem ist die Atmosphäre erfreulich entspannt. Einfach ein Platz zum Wohlfühlen.

Wir waren zu zweit Ende November zu Besuch und haben das Große Menü "Prestige" bestellt. Zunächst gab es keine verschiedenen Snacks als Amuse sondern, als solches diente der Garnelencroustillant. Dieser hat Neugier auf mehr Kreationen von Phillip Stein erweckt. Als nächstes bekamen wir Brot was uns ziemlich enttäuscht hat. Andere Tische hingegen haben dieses für Zuhause mitgenommen oder reichlich nachbestellt. Uns fehlte definitiv Salz und auch etwas mehr Ruhezeit hätten dem Brot gut getan, da der untere Teil des Brotes sehr kompakt und klitschick war. An den folgenden Vorspeisen hatten wir nichts auszusetzen und wir haben die Speisen sehr genossen. Zwischen den Gängen hatten wir teilweise, ungefragt, Pausen von 30 Minuten die für uns unpassend lang erschienen. Dazu muss man sagen das Restaurant war voll aber 6 Personen im Service hätten wir mehr erwartet. Der Zwischengang, die Variation vom Winterkohl, war unser persöhnlicher Favorit. Ein wirklich super abstimmter Gang der trotzdem sehr facettenreich war. Unser Hauptgang, der Hirschkalbsrücken war perfekt gegart und auch das Ragout vom Hirsch mit Kartoffelschaum war hervorragend. Für uns war die Jus um den Rücken etwas zu Pfeffer lastig, was manchmal alles übertönt hat. Trotzdem ein super Hauptgang hinter dem ein perfektes Handwerk steckt. Das erste Dessert, der geschmolzene Mont d'Or war sehr originell, einfallsreich und hat zusammen mit der Pekanuss ein unglaubliches und einzigartiges Geschmacksbild erzeugt. Das zweite Dessert ist dagegen etwas abgefallen war aber trotzdem ein super Gang. Bei den Petit Fours war für uns etwas zu viel "Weihnachtsgeschmack" enthalten, gerade vor dem Hintergrund das wir eben erst einen weihnachtlichen Vollmilch Gâteau hatten. Während unseres gesamten Abends war es im Restaurant sehr laut was bei den Ansagen der Gänge leider sehr gestört hat. Der Service war den ganzen Abend über sehr freundlich, wirkte sehr kompetent und hat sich viel Zeit für die Gäste genommen.

The welcome and service were very nice and not intrusive. The lunch menu was excellent and I have rarely eaten as well in Germany as I did yesterday in Steins Traube. It's a matter of time before the second star comes. Five stars from us here.

sehr schönes Restaurant- ohne viel Schnickschnack eingerichtet- super Service- die Möglichkeit sich aus bestehenden Menüs ein eigenes zusammenzustellen- beste Qualität der Speisen, gepflegte Getränke - alles war perfekt und auf den Punkt

Excellent food. Great wine list with reasonable prices. Attentive service.

Wir waren wochentags zu fünft in Steins Traube Essen Alle waren rundum zufrieden Einer der schönsten Abende in der letzten Zeit

What an experience! Tasty food, great service. We came for Xmas goose and it was definitely not a disappointment.

My partner and I were looking forward to a nice evening and were unfortunately bitterly disappointed at the end of the evening. When the bill was presented, the additionally ordered hourly egg was suddenly charged at 50 per person instead of 31.-. There was no prior information here - a shame. I expect from a restaurant of this category that I can rely on the prices stated on the menu - unfortunately this is not the case here. Unfortunately, when asked about the discrepancy, Ms. Stein showed no understanding and instead pointed to a misunderstanding without correcting the error. Unfortunately for us this is a sign of unprofessionalism and profit maximization.

Toller Service und das Essen war gut. Besonders positiv finde ich, dass auch für Kinder gesorgt ist (Hochstuhl, Kinderessen etc.)

Top Sterneküche, authentisch freundlicher Service in legere chickem Ambiente.

Alina and her team provide an exceptional dining experience. I can't wait to return!

Steins Traube offers exceptional personal service, making you feel right at home. The professional yet family-like atmosphere is perfect, and the food is truly a delight. Do note, parking can be tricky on busy days, especially with a larger vehicle. Highly recommended!

Every time we feel at home. Warm atmosphere, courteous treatment, great advice and it always feels like we were there just yesterday. Small but noticeable difference from home: it's not just the food that's incredibly good here.

Great food, great wines. I'm thrilled

Hervorragendes Essen, gute Weinauswal und exzellenter Service haben das Dinner zu einem großartigen Ereignis gemacht. Wir waren schon mehrmals bei Steins Traube essen und sind über das konstant hervorragende Essen und den exzellenten Service immer wieder beeindruckt.

Schönes Ambiente, sehr freundlicher und aufmerksamer Service, hervorragendes Essen - einfach ein perfekter Abend.

Great food and great service! Nice ambience. Very limited parking, so think about alternatives before you assume you’ll be able to park at the restaurant.

A culinary brilliant dinner with courteous service. The restaurant is modern yet comfortably furnished and it is and remains an all-round experience, thank you!

Immer wieder topp, da passt alles, Qualität, Service, Freundlichkeit und Weine zum vernünftigen Preis

Wir waren zum dritten Mal bei Steins Traube. Wie schon zuvor fühlten wir uns sehr wohl. Bei ausgezeichneten und sehr sympathischem Service, die Speisen top (der zweite Gang hatte definitiv mindestens zwei Sterne-Niveau) Wir freuen uns schon auf das nächste Mal

Es war ein tolles Erlebnis - wir haben uns jede Sekunde wohl gefühlt. Das Essen und die Kombination der Geschmackserlebnisse waren perfekt.

Ein wunderschön abgestimmtes Menü mit feinsten Aromen. Dazu stimmt alles, der Service und das Ambiente. Es gibt exzellente Weine, aber insgesamt ist das Angebot der regionalen Weine aus Rheinhessen zu hochpreisig.

Ganz hervorragendes Essen, sehr netter und aufmerksamer Service.

We were there for the first time. More service and more hospitality is difficult to achieve. The food also exceeded our expectations.

We've eaten here several times. We were thrilled every time. Simply delicious and great service.

Hervorragendes Essen. Wir waren sehr zufrieden. Gerne wieder.

Wie immer einfach toll - super Essen - toller Service - schönes Ambiente

It leaves nothing to be desired, the ambience is incredibly beautiful. You don't go there to eat, you go there to have a good time.

Sehr entspanntes ruhiges Ambiente mit viel Freundlichkeit im Service. Das Essen ist einfach ein Gedicht.

Was very tasty. The staff is very very friendly!

Always very tasty and very friendly conditions ;)

Wir waren zum wiederholten Mal dort und sind immer wieder begeistert. Die Familie Stein und ihr Team verstehen es die Gäste zu verwöhnen, Empfehlungen auszusprechen und die eine oder andere Runde mit den Gästen zu reden. Absolut bodenständig, familiär und ehrlich … meine Frau und ich fühlen uns dort immer sehr wohl. Ich habe in einem alten Hotel am See mit guter Gastronomie mit meiner Mutter gewohnt und bin als Kind zwischen den Gästen rumgelaufen und habe dort tolle Jahre erlebt. - bei Familie Stein ist die nächste Generation auch immer dabei und das macht das Erlebnis dort noch familiärer. Ich kann nur sagen „Glückwunsch“ an diese tolle Familie. Wir kommen wieder. Das Konzept mit dem Mittagstisch ist super!

Es war, wie immer, sehr, sehr lecker. Tolle Bedienung rundet das Gesamtpaket ab. Immer wieder gerne!

Einfach perfekt, sehr zu empfehlen. Wir waren nun schon 2 mal dort und sicher nicht zum letzten Mal 😁

Spitzengastronomie, familiäres Ambiente, herzlich, professionell, virtuos, reich an Geschmäckern

Erstklassige Küche, top Service, legere Atmosphäre, erlesene Weinauswahl. Im Sommer wird im schönen Innenhof gespeist, wunderbar. Insgesamt sehr zu empfehlen.

With a warm, authentic welcome, through the culinary adventures down to the last drop of coffee, an unforgettable experience. We thank you and will come back after February 11, 2025 at the latest.

Excellent food and absolutely perfect service in a very relaxed and informal atmosphere make every visit something special. The kitchen is always flexible and caters to all wishes. It's just a perfect place to switch off and enjoy the moment! Many thanks to the Stein family and the whole team - we would love to come to you.

Das Essen war in Worten nicht zu beschreiben. Der Service war sehr aufmerksam. Immer wieder gerne!

Wunderschönes Ambiente im Innenhof des Restaurants, das Essen war wirklich ein Erlebnis, der Wein sehr, sehr gut und der Service freundlich und zuvorkommend. Uns gefällt die Herzlichkeit der Inhaberin, die immer frisch und natürlich wirkt... und das mit drei Kindern "nebenbei"! Das bewundere ich sehr, Kompliment! Der einzige winzigkleine Kritikpunkt von meiner Seite ist das permanente Nachschenken am Tisch. Ich würde mir wünschen, dass die Gläser dann nachgeschenkt werden, wenn sie leer oder fast leer sind und nicht nach gefühlt jedem Schluck. Insgesamt aber volle Punkt- und Sternezahl... wir kommen wieder!!

Die Kombi macht's! Hervorragendes Essen, eine perfekte Getränkeauswahl und wohl der beste Service im Umkreis von 100 Kilometern. Hut ab, Gastfreundschaft der Extraklasse. Immer wieder ein Erlebnis. Gönnen Sie sich dieses Erlebnis.

Super lecker, toller Service. Wir waren sehr zufrieden. Außergewöhnliche Küche für besondere Anlässe

Sehr entspannte ruhige Atmosphäre, äußerst freundliche Bedienung, Essen hervorragend. Angenehmes Ambiente draußen.

Everything is just right here. Excellent food, excellent service and at fair prices too. We would love to come back and can only warmly recommend the restaurant.

Service sehr aufmerksam und die Küche ist sehr flexibel, was die Zusammenstellung von Menüs betrifft. Vielen DAnk für das hervorragende Essen und den schönen Tag.

Der Besuch bei Philipp und Alina Stein war, wie schon so oft, ein kulinarisches Highlight. Auch unseren Gästen hat das Menü Prestige hervorragend geschmeckt, sehr gut aufeinander abgestimmte Speisefolge, alles auf sehr hohem Niveau und auch die Weinbegleitung war super Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder.

Ach was soll man sagen.. Herausragendes Essen und ein super Service. Die Zubereitung der Gerichte ist absolute Sterneküche. Der Business Lunch ist preislich sehr sehr fair und nicht zu sagen günstig.

Wie immer, ein Genuss. Aufmerksam und fachgerechte Beratung.

Es war, wie immer, sensationell. Wir gehen so gerne zu Steins Traube essen. Es ist wie bei Freunden.

Wir waren das erste Mal in Steins Traube. Ein Erlebnis. Außergewöhnliche Küche. Im Vergleich zu manch anderen Sterne-Lokalen verdient Steins Traube die Auszeichnung. Interessante und sehr gut zubereitete Speisen ohne viel Chichi. Alles perfekt. Wir kommen wieder :-)

★★★★★ Mein Besuch im Restaurant Steins Traube war eine wunderbare Erfahrung. Die Atmosphäre ist warm und einladend, und das Interieur ist geschmackvoll gestaltet. Die Speisen waren hervorragend zubereitet und kreativ präsentiert. Man merkt, dass hier mit hochwertigen und frischen Zutaten gearbeitet wird. Besonders gut hat mir der Meeresfrüchtesalat gefallen. Der Service war aufmerksam und freundlich. Das Personal war immer zur Stelle, ohne aufdringlich zu wirken, und sehr zuvorkommend. Die Weinkarte bietet eine gute Auswahl, die perfekt zu den Gerichten passt. Die fachkundige Beratung bei der Weinauswahl war ebenfalls ein Pluspunkt. Insgesamt ein tolles Restaurant, das ich gerne weiterempfehle.

Immer wieder toll, wir kommen so gerne wieder, danke für alles

Schönes Restaurant, super Essen und Wein! Super sympathisches Team.

Exceptional culinary skills and combinations in each dish! Wonderful and helpful(where needed) service. Outstanding wine selections and cellar. A true delight and can’t wait to go back!

Super toll 👍🏻 vielen dank. Preisleistung ist top.

Wir haben ausgezeichnet gegessen den Service war dezent trotzdem sehr aufmerksam. Das Ambiente einfach wunderbar. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder und dann mit Sicherheit auch mal im Hof. Ich denke schon, dass wir sehr verwöhnt sind, was Essen angeht aber wir waren dort sehr sehr zufrieden.

Ganz enspannte, ungezwungene Atmosphäre bei spitzen Essen und super Service.

Wie immer war es eine Freude den Abend in Steins Traube zu verbringen. Service und Essen waren mal wieder sehr gut.
