Tante Maja in Saarbrücken

Everything was super delicious, fresh, and the portions were generous! Also good Saarland cuisine!

Long-known meeting place with nice kitchen

The food was delicious. The staff was very friendly. We'd be happy to come back.

Very nice restaurant. We were lucky to get a table outside several times over Pentecost. We only ordered drinks. The food looked great, too. Very friendly and efficient staff. We'd happily return.

Nice restaurant, but unfortunately very cramped. Service was attentive, but since she hadn't written anything down, the order was unfortunately incorrect. The salad, or rather the salad dressing, was completely tasteless. It seemed to be just oil and vinegar without a hint of seasoning. Sour, tasteless, and boring. 2 salads and 2 drinks for €36. Positive: The food arrived very quickly.

The food is not great, the service feels like you're in the way because it's fast to move on to the next person, the cooking is limited and the taste is very average.

We ate at Tante Maja for the first time, and it was sooo delicious. The selection of dishes is truly fantastic, and the daily changing menu offers a huge variety. We had the traditional schnitzel, and it was truly delicious. The service was also absolutely top-notch; they were always there, gave us recommendations for dessert, and were truly super friendly and accommodating. The ambiance, despite the small space, was also really great. All in all, a 10/10 for me. I would love to come back.

We've been regulars at Tante Maja's for years, but we've really had enough now. It's just far too expensive these days, the portions are extremely small, and you have to pay extra for everything (like bread). A negative example is the rump steak evening on Thursday evenings, which is supposed to be a good deal on a special day. But here you end up with almost €30 for a steak that's really not what it used to be, plus a side salad. The value for money is definitely not good anymore, and the quality of the food has also declined enormously. On top of that, you feel like you're being mass-produced, because you can only book a certain slot within the restaurant and have to leave quickly. It's a shame! It used to be really good there.

Yes, definitely. Delicious food, great service

Great atmosphere, friendly service, and delicious food. The salmon with herb butter and fried potatoes was incredibly tasty. The "Seemann" pasta was also a delight. The portions are generous. I probably won't make it back to Saarbrücken, but if I do, I would eat here again.

Cool bar, nice service, great food and drinks

We were hungry and looking for a place open late at lunchtime. So we stumbled upon this place. We received a very friendly welcome and were seated immediately. The only thing I would mention is the warm temperature upstairs. But overall, I thought it was a dream. The ambiance is super cozy. The food is absolutely delicious, and the service is absolutely fantastic! Courteous, multilingual, organized, and amazingly fast. We waited a maximum of 10 minutes for our food and had a truly phenomenal taste experience. The price was also completely reasonable, and the portions were perfect. In short: I'm thrilled and will be back.

Hey, it was great here. Friendly service, great atmosphere, and the tarte flambée was delicious 😋

I ordered a medium steak and received a well-done one. It was very dry, and I was unable to complain. Never again

A straightforward but excellent restaurant in the heart of the city. The terrace seating on the market square is unbeatable in summer. Delicious food and attentive service.

Tante Maja in Saarbrücken offers a very cozy atmosphere with traditional, original, and extremely delicious dishes and matching drinks. The service was top-notch – attentive, friendly, and prompt. We felt completely at home and would love to come back!

Great atmosphere, nice and uncomplicated service despite the store being absolutely full. Reservations recommended. Even the dog was allowed in. Thank you for that!!!

We had dinner at Tante Maja with a larger group. Unfortunately all the steaks were tough and hardly edible. The salads looked appealing. However, we found 1 euro extra for a 2 euro piece of sheep's cheese overpriced.

There is no way around Aunt Maja. Great value for money, incredibly friendly staff, great location, very good food.

We felt very comfortable there. The service was also very nice.

Great location, very friendly staff. Food very good.

Schöne Lage und ein gut gezapftes Pils. Allerdings Kartenzahlung erst ab 10,00 EUR. Kein entsprechender Hinweis. Ich musste für ein Pils dann 10,00 EUR bezahlen.

I just had a cappuccino, the cup is big as I like it and it was excellent. I drank it on the terrace on the square which is quite nice the service is fast

In 10 years of my life I have never eaten a carbonara that was sooooooooo good 😃. Price-performance is great! 👍🏻 Definitely a recommendation for a culinary evening. Thank you for the delicious dinner 🙏🏻

First we had to look for a waiter to find out which table was reserved for us, then somehow we weren't sure - chaos. The actual waiter later was great. The food is delicious, although the menu is far too large and many things are not available. It was also recommended to us based on Saarland dishes. We couldn't find these. The menu cards were all dirty and some had burn holes. The new decor is nice and modern. Unfortunately, the toilets were terribly dirty - paper and puddles of water everywhere, a dirty sink. It's a shame and really difficult to judge whether we would eat here again.

The food was ok. The neighboring tables were very loud so that normal conversation was not possible

We were there from Berlin. There was absolute chaos with reservations. The tables are so close that you gasp. A small pot of ketchup is only available with the fries upon request. The schnitzel is fried rather averagely...plate decoration=0 We'd rather go to a different "restaurant" next time.

Super delicious food, we would love to come back. Friendly staff

We had our 2 dogs with us and were given a quiet table where the dogs also had room to lie. Had a super tasty schnitzel and delicious mocktails.

Unfortunately nothing worked today. Chaos when ordering, waiting times for drinks to arrive and poor quality of food. Unfriendly service. Unfortunately only recommended for a coffee at the moment due to the location. There is a lot of potential for improvement. Too bad.

Old historical and complete. Downtown. Parking limited.

We ended the day there and were thrilled, delicious salads and a very good and friendly waiter.

beautiful place, it was renovated 3 months ago, we had a great time, very friendly staff

Still an institution. Respect for that.

The food was really delicious and the portion was more than decent. The service was okay, maybe it could be a little friendlier next time. Maybe there was just too much going on as all the tables were occupied... inside and out. I'd love to come back.

Sat upstairs in a great living room atmosphere with very tasty food

Good and attentive service, good atmosphere

The food was very tasty, but the service was all very unfriendly and everyone was super annoyed

Long drink 10 euros! Prices greatly increased! We were shocked when we were in Aunt Maja for the first time since the renovation. The main thing that was “renovated” was the prices. A simple vodka soda (“Skinny B.”) costs 10 euros! This is simply vodka with sparkling water. Other long drinks are also extremely expensive. And the food too! Almost all dishes have increased significantly in price, this also applies to special days, such as Pasta Day. Despite all the understanding we have for the difficult situation facing restaurateurs, our conclusion is: Disproportionate price increases! What a shame! :-(

The beer was cold and the service was nice and good. We sat outside right in front of the old well.

Great service...the young man embodies everything that makes a first-class service worker, I speak from my own experience.

Super cozy place Great schnitzel and friendly service.

The food was very tasty but I found the fries to be too thick for my taste

Lovely dinner! You have to book the restaurant in advance otherwise it’s fully booked if you want to walk in on Saturdays. We had special dish (tagliata) and fish soup, both are very tasty! Service is fast, price is reasonable. Seats were a bit squeezed and the indoor temperature was high. But acceptable since I can imagine everyone wants to have dinner in this nice restaurant.

In the heart of the old town, good Saar cuisine, but also varied cuisine, mixed salads, very good steaks, friendly atmosphere and staff, terrace, everything you need to enjoy the moment By the way, there has been some refreshing work done inside, it’s great 👍

This is where I went for lunch. It seems like it's one of the best restaurants in town, so all but a few tables were reserved. The food was plentiful and delicious, and the employees were all very friendly! Because it is located in the square, it is a great place to have a meal while looking around.

Food is okay, in summer much space, bit too loud and nothing special.

Small, rustic restaurant on two floors in the center of Saarbrücken. Very friendly service, very good food. Had the pork cheeks with beer sauce, "Hoorige" (kind of dumpling) and vegetables (daily menu) - I can highly recommend it.

If you want to eat traditional german food so that's the right place to be 🙂

We were here at Easter and everything was great😍 Just as great this time. Just please, use different cheese for the spaghetti 😉 Every member of staff is courteous and extremely nice, even when the restaurant is full. We'd love to come back💖

Good food and nice atmosphere the staff is very friendly

We have been there several times with a larger group and everyone was satisfied. Very tasty, fresh food, good portions and very good taste.

Great food, good ambiance and very nice staff. Highly recommended. Just book earlier, as tables are limited. Small comment for improvement, if the seats can be brought closer, people would be able to speak quieter and hear each other better. (Facing 2 seats tables are 1.2 meters long.)

Very good food. We've eaten here a few times. Even with a larger group, around 15 people. Everything went well and tasted good.

I was there with my family for dinner on December 25th. The ambience, the service and also the food were good. Unfortunately, all but one of us had food poisoning afterwards. This was a very bad experience and I absolutely cannot recommend it when it comes to pasta, especially for the price.

First of all, the food tasted great 😋 The tables stuck. No information about ingredients could be provided. All in all, an average restaurant.

Friendly service, good food at reasonable prices, cozy atmosphere.

Very tasty, but the potatoes would have taken a little longer, but the salmon steak tore it out and therefore still five stars.😅 I ate a really great steak, I can highly recommend Steak Maya and Thursday is steak day 😃. 5 stars for that.

A good restaurant with a great ambience. There were four of us, we had 4 different dishes and we were all more than satisfied. The service was also very friendly. Tables should definitely be booked, but it is only possible every 2 hours, which is more than enough. Gladly again.

Nice restaurant, prices are okay. The taste of the food matches the price. However, if you want to eat and have a conversation, you shouldn't get a table downstairs. You can't say anything negative about the service.

Super delicious food! The prices aren't exactly low, but the portions are reasonable. The service was very hardworking and attentive, there is nothing to complain about here. All in all, a really satisfying visit! What you could complain about (but that's complaining at a high level): the tables are quite close together. But that's because of the building and so you might be able to talk to others.

A bit disappointed, the price performance is not right. Small Jägerschnitzel, 3-4 mushrooms in the sauce, a few fries, no salad, not very lovingly served. Too bad.

Price-performance is very important here! And always great changing food offers in addition to the menu.

My place in Saarbrücken for excellent, super friendly service and fantastic food in a cozy atmosphere. There's nothing else that matters to me!!!

Nice little shop with very good food

Cozy pub with well-kept beer freshly tapped. Staff very nice

Super nice inside, great and delicious food at fair prices, would love to come back! Highly recommended!

I visited the restaurant on the first weekend of Advent. It was very busy because of the Christmas market. We had reserved and were able to sit in the very cozy room on the first floor. The service was very friendly and professional. We ordered from the seasonal menu. The food was very good and was served quickly. The prices were also acceptable. We will definitely come back.

Great ambience on the upper floor

Take the window seats upstairs, you'll get a nice view overlooking the Christmas market. Simple and good food, not too many options to be confused.

The salads were, as always, delicious.

Sehr schönes Ambiente. Humane Preise schnelle Bedienung, unkomplizierte tischreservierung trotz Verschiebung in allem sehr angenehm.

Overall really nice, staff is nice, I just think it's a bit dark there and my salad had way too much dressing.

Very cozy and super friendly staff. Gladly again!

A wonderful establishment with very attentive and charismatic waiters. I haven’t tried the dishes yet, mostly we go with friends to drink wine. Love the vibe of this place

The food was good, the fried potatoes are particularly recommended. The service is super friendly. It might be a bit noisy when it's full, but it still has a nice atmosphere. Gladly again

Sat on the terrace for a nice sunny lunch. The service was excellent. We tried many entrees and the were all great. The prices were very reasonable. Will definitely go again

Pleasant café-restaurant located on the St Johan market. Good food and friendly service, what more could you ask for?

Very good cuisine. Copious plates. Very welcoming staff

Totally delicious. Service was great with a few exceptions.

On Saturday morning, watching the market from the second floor, we were able to enjoy a varied and delicious breakfast. The lady from the service was cooperative, structured, courteous and quick. The price-performance ratio is reasonable. The toilets are also on the 2nd floor.

Friendly staff, good food and nice ambience. Here you can start the evening relaxed.

It's been a long time since I've had such a delicious rump steak. The creation with sheep's cheese crust and baldamico sauce was completely to my taste. The waitresses were all very friendly and attentive. You can have a good time here in a cozy atmosphere. It makes sense to reserve in advance, otherwise there could be waiting times. The next day I had the Mexico salad. Extremely tasty and plentiful, I couldn't finish it all.

Absolutely recommended 😊 Super tasty, and very reasonably priced!

Delicious. Staff very friendly!!

Essen: Das Essen war sehr gut, sowohl Fleisch als auch die Vegetarischen Gerichte sind sehr lecker Ambiente: Innen hat man ein schönes, gemütliches, rustikales Ambiente. Außen sitzt man mittem im Trubel des St.Johanner Marktes, was durchaus seinen Charme hat. Service: Trotz starken Besuche wurden wir relativ schnell bedient und das Essen kam sehr schnell Preis: Es ist nicht günstig, sondern eher gehobene Preisklasse.

If you value good and friendly service, this is the place for you. The prices are absolutely reasonable for the portion sizes and above all: IT TASTES! If you like to watch people strolling in the summer (or with a thick jacket in the cooler seasons), the outdoor area is the perfect place to sit and you can see the entire St. Johann market. I always like to come back and recommend the restaurant with a clear conscience!

Pleasantly surprised. Food was good and the service too

Completely overpriced. The 200g schnitzels come for €20 without additional salad and are absolutely average (e.g. with the cream sauce). There is also a small amount of bland garnish. It's actually great for drinking there.

Food and drinks are very good. The cocktails are highly recommended. The atmosphere is rustic, the service is great. My recommendation: Monday is schnitzel day.

Nice food Friendly service, very good quality, reasonable prices

Great for the nightcap afterwards!!

Very nice old-established shop... Good food, very nice attentive staff... we like coming here

Delicious food, nice staff... I will go there again.

Very nice restaurant, food also very tasty

Very nice evening on the market square. The service was very attentive and courteous. The food (meat dish) was very tasty, the large salad could be a little bigger for the price. All in all, highly recommended.

Nice coffee, good scrambled eggs

I had lunch at Maya's today. I just have to say a lot of praise now. The staff is just delightful and so friendly. My meal, salmon with potatoes and spinach salad, was a poem. The ambience of the store is warm and cozy. Thanks to all of you for this wonderful lunch.

But the toilet leaves so much to be desired

Die Qualität der Speisen war ungenügend. Das Rahmschnitzel (Fertigschnitzel frittiert) war trocken und die Soße leicht säuerlich. Das Wiener Schnitzel war ebenfalls trocken und zäh. Der Feldsalat in der Joghurtsoße ertrunken. Zum Speck im Salat: Wer sucht der findet. Bei zurückgebenen fast vollen Tellern interessierte man sich auch nicht dafür ob es geschmeckt hat. Fazit: Wir werden keine Wiederholungstäter
