Tavern Spreisel in Heidelberg

Wir waren heute Abend zu viert (vier Frauen) im Wirtshaus zum Spreisel essen. Der Service war sehr herzlich, das Essen war super und wir haben uns rundherum wohl gefühlt. Wir können es nur von Herzen weiter empfehlen.

This evening, four of us (four women) dined at the Wirtshaus zum Spreisel. The service was very friendly, the food was excellent, and we felt completely at home. We can only recommend it wholeheartedly!

Super nice ambience and clocky restaurant right in the heart of the old town. Service is very accommodating and the food is amazing. I'm there several times a week!!

Sehr Freundliche Bedinung,Fantastisches Essen,Familiere Umgebung.Bin seit über 24 Jahre Kunde.Sehr große Ausswahl an Speisen und Getränke. Immer gerne wieder.

I've been to the Wirtshaus zum Spreisel a few times and I always go home very satisfied. The portions are not only delicious, but also filling - something that is rare to find in Heidelberg these days. Together with the cozy atmosphere of the Tyrolean-style interior and the friendly staff, this makes the inn an absolute must when visiting Heidelberg.

I have never experienced such unfriendly restaurateurs as in this establishment. We came into the restaurant, were initially ignored, although the landlord definitely saw us and we greeted him, and after a few minutes no one came to seat us, we looked for a seat ourselves - in the mostly empty rooms. Then the landlady came. With harsh words, she directed us from the table we had chosen, after we asked in the negative whether we had been assigned this seat, to the table directly next door, and then demonstratively put up a "Reserved" sign on the table we had previously chosen. For us it was a pure demonstration of “here I decide who sits where”. Actually, we should have gotten up and left at that moment. The rest of the time in the restaurant was similarly unfriendly and cold, as if we were intruding; Only one younger employee was nice and accommodating. The menu was visually interesting, although unfortunately a little confusing due to its playfulness. The food was OK. The atmosphere, purely in terms of the furnishings, was actually very cozy, but the constant unfriendliness and arrogance of the landlady unfortunately completely destroyed any feeling of well-being. We will definitely never go to this restaurant again where we consistently felt unwelcome. Let's hope the landlady just had a bad day...

If you ask if you can use the toilet for a fee and you are rudely turned away, why should you leave your money there??? I have never experienced such unfriendly behavior in any city

The knuckle was super fine and crispy

An all-round perfect evening in the middle of Heidelberg! The food was simply fantastic - the rump steak LeMans, the wild salmon, the beef roulade and the knuckle were excellently prepared. The service was quick, attentive and extremely accommodating, so we felt we were in good hands. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, ideal for a relaxing evening. Our group of 12 men found space without any problems as the reservation was straightforward. Our table right by the fireplace was particularly nice. Price-performance was also great – everything is just right here. Clear recommendation for anyone who wants to enjoy excellent food and first-class service in Heidelberg!

Quaint restaurant with very good food! Can be recommended!

Haven't been there for a long time, but the food is still great. The quality is excellent and has been that way for decades, something that not every restaurant can achieve. I love the Odenwälder rum steak and it still tastes great even after more than 20 years when I was there for the first time. I still order the fried potatoes as well. It just has to be. Thanks for that.

Fantastic ambience, right on the Old Bridge, absolutely delicious food with fresh ingredients. If there were more stars I would happily give them.

We were staying at the hotel next door. By the way we decided to eat at Spreisel and were surprised. It was very good and plentiful.

We went as a family. The waiters and the owner were pleasant. They came to see us several times to make sure everything was going well. The food was typical, very good and plentiful. We ate well, I recommend.

A wonderful inn! The rustic ambience invites you to enjoy one of the many consistently delicious dishes and drinks. We went there several evenings and were thoroughly impressed! Every evening at 'Spreisel' was delicious, wonderfully cozy and the waitresses were very friendly. A special thanks to Maria! Keep it up, we'll be happy to come back soon!

We went there for dinner for the first time on Sunday and had to go back immediately on Monday. A fantastic cook who works with love and heart in her kitchen. And you can taste it. The service: attentive and very friendly. We know where we “have to” eat again next time.

Este es el mejor restaurante! Los camareros son muy agradables y amables. Buena comida y buen interior. Si te gustaría comer una comida típica alemana sin duda deberías probar este lugar.

The staff is really really nice and the food is good!

Super friendly staff and amazing food! One of the best meals in Heidelberg. I came in for lunch after a visit to the castle and was greeted kindly by the owner. Cozy atmosphere and totally recommend the Le Mans steak, schnitzel and Ms. Lendchen.

Nice, cozy restaurant! We came without a reservation and food came very quickly after we ordered. The owner was super nice and very attentive. Everything we ordered was so good, from the food to the special light beer! 10/10, would come again to try different dishes!

Ich liebe es immer wieder beim Spreisel zu essen. Oft bin ich mit meinem Kollegen abends hier, wenn wir gemeinsam in Heidelberg sind. Es ist sehr gemütlich, das Essen ist einfach nur toll und ich habe die Wirtsleute in mein Herz geschlossen. Freue mich schon auf den kommenden Februar, dann bin ich wieder da und werde wieder einen tollen Abend genießen!

It's like coming home every time. I was in Heidelberg again for two days on business and ate at Spreisel both evenings. What a great roast goose with red cabbage!  For me it couldn't be nicer! Great food, cozy dining room with loving hosts... I'm looking forward to February, then I'll be back! Many thanks to the Spreisel team!

I have never experienced such a rude owner! Instead of an entrecote, I wanted to have a rum steak with the side dishes of the entrecote. According to the owner, there are 40 dishes on the menu, so I shouldn't make any special requests!!! It's very disgraceful!!!

Thank you so much for recommending this restaurant. I'm Korean and I had a short conversation with the people of Heidelberg while waiting for the sunset in 'Jardim do Morro' of Porto in October. I'm planning to go to Heidelberg in a few weeks then, and I asked them to recommend me a restaurant, and they told me this place. Thanks to you guys, I had a really happy time in Heidelberg. I don't have your contact number, so I'll leave a thank you message here. Hope you guys enjoy this review. Thank you! on Review:-D 사슴 고기 ൴라쉬 이색적이면서도 진짜 맛있습니다. 위에 올라간 사우어크림이랑 잘 어울려요. 한 달 유럽 여행 중 제일 맛있었던 음식임. 강추!

Gemütliches Restaurant mit urchiger Einrichtung. Die Portionen sind sehr gross und das Personal ist mega freundlich und aufmerksam und aufgestellt auch wenn das Lokal viele Gäste hat. Preis-Leistung stimmt auch!

Sehr leckeres Essen. Deftig und Gutbürgerlich. Grosse Portionen. Sehr freundliche Bedienung auch wenn viele Gäste da sind! Kann man nur empfehlen.

Quaint German restaurant with a large selection of dishes and very tasty. Unfortunately there is little vegetarian food.

Super tasty St. Martin's goose Nice service Quaint restaurant

Das Gasthaus Spreisel in Heidelbergs Altstadt bei der alten Brücke ist ein echter Geheimtipp für alle, die gutes Essen in gemütlicher Atmosphäre zu schätzen wissen. Das Essen ist hervorragend. Die Speisekarte bietet eine abwechslungsreiche Auswahl, sodass für jeden Geschmack etwas dabei ist. Die Preise für alle Gerichte sind absolut fair. Maria, die Chefin, ihr Ehegatte und das gesamte Team sind äußerst freundlich und aufmerksam. Die Kombination aus leckerem Essen, gemütlichem Ambiente und dem herzlichen Service machen den "Spreisel" so besonders.

Super nice, rustic inn with really delicious food!

Very nice and quiet guest house. The food was really tasty. The selection of wine and food is extensive. There were fresh roses on the tables, the candles on each table were already lit - very cozy. The service was friendly and accommodating. 🙂

We asked for a table for 3 at short notice around 6:30 p.m. and were lucky despite reservations. The restaurant is small, cozy and the service was very courteous. We hadn't expected that in this situation and the whole thing was topped off with the very tasty food! A very nice evening

Super cute traditional family restaurant, fast and friendly service, very large selection of dishes, homemade and very tasty. The prices are a bit higher but the price-performance ratio is right!

The friendly waiter greeted us, and the chef then showed us to a nice table area. The food is homemade, but with German precision in taste and presentation; that's Maria's obra. The local dark beer complements my dinner. great service. If you are in Heidelberg, this place is the place for heart and hearth. It's a local favorite.

Very cozy and not overcrowded. Nice ambience and good food with a lovingly designed menu - here called a book. Prices are still very reasonable here. Here the boss is still out in the restaurant and taking care of things. We can only recommend it here. Been here as a couple.

Great service and very tasty food, we always go there when we are in Heidelberg.

Food: had to be pre-ordered for our group. I had hot salmon steak on cold (!) rice with salad, €26. Nice location.

My husband and I love this inn. The people here are so warm and humorous. The food is outstanding and on the table quickly. It just feels like home. From the ambience to the food. Simply great!!! I really enjoy coming here.

Absolutely unfriendly boss. Not a pleasant atmosphere.

The food was fantastic, you sit right next to the river, look at the old bridge and enjoy the food. Price performance is right!

Unfortunately there is no place to take a quick break and just have a drink. We are made aware of this quite rudely. Unfortunately, we didn't know exactly whether we really wanted to drink or eat something.

Very nice restaurant with excellent regional food. Service staff incredibly nice and accommodating. Were here on vacation and came across this restaurant by chance...will definitely come back next time!!!:)

It's nice to sit on the terrace and the service is relatively quick and friendly. Unfortunately there is only one vegetarian dish (apart from salad). Chanterelles with cream sauce, dumplings and salad. The chanterelles were certainly fresh and the cream sauce consisted of whipped cream being poured over the mushrooms. The sauce was neither seasoned nor flavorful in any other way. The dumplings were also absolutely tasteless and sticky. The salad with the ready-made dressing was delicious and fresh. Of course, it's possible that the meat-heavy dishes in this restaurant are very tasty, but I can't judge that. I find it disappointing and out of date to only offer a vegetarian option that isn't even tasty.

Last Thursday evening I had dinner with friends (SWR 3 crew) at the “Zum Spreisel” restaurant. What should you say or write? From the reservation the day before, to the great service, as well as the delicious main course and the wonderful dessert, there is nothing to complain about. It was once again very nice, very funny and also very tasty. I can only recommend everyone to go there and try out all the delicacies. ENJOY IT 😂😂😂

It's just nice to stroll through such a historic city and then treat yourself to a good meal. Very nice old restaurant and delicious traditional food. Very accommodating conditions and super great interaction. This was a great end to our day. Thanks to the team.

We were rudely sent off because we sat down at a table that wasn't reserved.

Always my pleasure. Lovely service from the soul of the house. Maria is the perfect hostess. All the food is excellent... we always enjoy coming here.

Violently racist. I have now read several comments here about “colored” people being sent away on the grounds that it would close. We didn't think anything of it and they didn't even look us in the face and tell us it would be closing soon... it was 8 p.m. and they were open until 11 p.m. and other people were still allowed in?! I have never experienced anything like it. Better go to the Thai guy across the street who was super sweet and nice…

Very great inn with very tasty home cooking, where you can taste that it is homemade. Simply delicious! Definitely worth a visit

Very cute restaurant with authentic German food. The service is very friendly. There are extremely many options to choose from. The card is handwritten and very cute with one option per page. The portions are very large and some dishes also come with a salad as a side dish. The food was all fresh and delicious. The view of the water was also very nice.

Family owned and operated. Very kind staff, delicious food, and personal atmosphere. I was solo on a busy evening and they welcomed me in without a reservation and treated me very well. This is not a place to be in a hurry. Sit, enjoy the meal, the character, and the wine.

Very nice place with nice service

Very good restaurant with a special ambience and very good service. There is also a large selection of delicious dishes!

Rather unfriendly conditions, the onion soup was unfortunately too salty

Hugo portions nicely presented and very tasty. Menu all in german but we managed!

Note: Bring cash! This is a really cool spot that I don't think gets enough local attention. It's also hard to find because the name outside doesn't match the name of the restaurant. Look for the hotel pointing at the old bridge. It's wonderful here, the atmosphere is great, and the beer was good. The menu was very cool, even though I couldnt read the German on it well, I fumbled through and it was very fun.

A very rustic, cozy restaurant with friendly service. The food was plentiful and very good. The prices were reasonable for Heidelberg and quality.

Four of us ate at Spreißel today, and it's always a pleasure! The food and service were very good as always! I can only recommend!

Wir sind Wiederholundstäter Kommen sehr gerne vorbei. Immer gutes Essen. Maria ist einfach Spitze. Wir hoffen noch lange einkehren zu können.

Off the tourist path, facing the river. Beautiful interior, the old wood beams are amazing. The food is absolutely delicious, especially the fried potatoes!!! The menu is extensive and only in German, but using Google Translate app makes it easy to read. Also pictures on Google Maps help! The owner and staff were very welcoming. We did not have a reservation and thankfully arrived before the dinner crowd. The portions are substantial. Credit card accepted.

Sehr gemütliches Restaurant mit sehr guten Essen ( Steaks mit Beilage perfekt, Kaiserschmarrn super!) und hervorragendem Service! Wir kommen gerne wieder!

Repeatedly very tasty and also popular with locals.

Great restaurant to relax and enjoy. The food is delicious and the hospitality is great

Quaint local. Eat like grandma's. There are dishes that are not otherwise found on normal menus. E.g. kidneys. Delicious. You should reserve a table

Quaint pub with delicious beer.

TOP!!! Only had good experiences. I've eaten there several times and have always been 100% satisfied. I can't understand all the criticism. Always super friendly, generous and courteous service. Super tasty food and large portions. Very, very cozy and at home, you not only feel like a guest but also like a friend! A big and heartfelt recommendation ;)

Very good welcome and excellent food.

TOP!!! Nur gute Erfahrungen gesammelt. War schon öfters dort essen und immer zu 100% zufrieden. Ich kann die ganze Kritik nicht nachvollziehen. Immer super freundlich, großzügig und zuvorkommender Service. Super leckeres Essen und große Portionen. Sehr sehr gemütlich und heimisch man fühlt sich nicht nur wie ein Gast sondern auch wie ein Freund! Eine große und von Herzen kommende Weiterempfehlung ;)

Stopped in spontaneously and was very impressed with the menu. The food was simply very, very good. You will be served very well with heart and joy. We will be back.

Delicious food with fresh asparagus, large portion cooked with love! Nice and cozy atmosphere! Can definitely recommend it! Always happy to come and very satisfied! 😍😍😋😋

Excellent place, great food. We ordered knuckle and sausages.

We have always wanted a restaurant with good German cuisine. We found it. Not just good. BUT VERY GOOD!!!!! Very good, simply excellent German cuisine. Nice atmosphere whether outside or inside. Whether it's the boss or the waitress behind the counter, everyone is very friendly. Many thanks also to the kitchen for the very good German food.

The atmosphere in the dining room is great. Likewise the delicious menus and the extremely friendly service. We enjoyed the evening with roulade and particularly fresh asparagus. We'll definitely be back!

Lovingly run inn in a cozy atmosphere. Great selection of homemade food. Very warm owners who can always be found. Maria also enjoys cooking personally - second to none! Local potential.

Mega delicious food. Meat exactly to the point. 👍😎

Highly Recommended! Rustic atmosphere and excellent food! We were there with four people and all the dishes were very, very tasty 😋

Lovingly handwritten menu, friendly, fast service. Food excellent, taste-wise and visually. You sit very comfortably, you can have a good conversation and you can just take your time.

Wonderful place. Very close to Stadttor Heidelberg. Very tasty food and friendly atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Immer wieder lecker! Portion war mehr als ausreichend, sehr gut gewürzt. Wir hatten Lachs und Filet mit Spargel und Kartoffeln.

Very nice host, rustic but nice atmosphere and good food!

Wunderschön gelegen an der Alten Brücke, leckeres Essen, schöne Atmosphäre und absolut freundliche Bedienung. Wir kommen sicher wieder und können das Restaurant mit bestem Gewissen weiterempfehlen.

Very tasty home-style food and good portions. Always my pleasure!

Excellent cuisine, freshly prepared with super friendly service and a great ambience. If you are in Heidelberg, you should definitely stop by here, by far the best restaurant in the area.

a (somewhat) couple were entertaining guests, and the lady had a rather peculiar style of addressing visitors. There was no talk of friendly interaction here, despite my always happy mood. We were given unreasonable instructions not to take photos (even though the terrace was chosen because of the view of the Old Gate). The asparagus soup was OK. We were not given any time to look at the menu and were not given any information about the drink selection. The wine was served without asking how many grams you wanted and you had to fight for a second glass. Luckily we were in a good mood, but next time I visit Heidelberg I'll think twice about letting my mood be spoiled here.

We had dinner at the inn today. The telephone reservation about 30 minutes in advance worked well and we spontaneously got a table. Overall, the restaurant is very quaint and cozy. The service was friendly and the food tasted good. Thank you.

Opening times are wrong and should be corrected urgently, this is the second time that the place is open but the door is closed.

Ein muss für jeden der nach Heidelberg kommt sehr leckeres Essen sehr nettes Personal ich bin immer gerne hier.

Mein lieblings deutsche Restaurant! Jedes Mal dass ich in Heidelberg ankomme, muss ich bei Wirtshaus zum Spreisel halten und genießen das leckere Essen! So schön, alle schmeckt super Danke Bis nächste Mal!

Great food, . . Great location, view, and atmosphere!

Maria, die Küche und das gesamte Team verdienen großes Lob! Alles war perfekt

Super uriges und gemütliches Restaurant. Leckere und frische deutsche Küche. Super große Portionen - hier wird man satt. Wir kommen gerne wieder. Wir raten vorher zu reservieren :)

Wir wurden von einem Gast vor dem Wirtshaus überzeugt drin essen zu gehen. Das war ganz klar kein Fehler!!!! Super freundlicher Service. Wirtshaus Ambiente. Super kreative Karte, handgeschrieben, sodass einem das Wasser schon beim Lesen im Munde zerläuft. Große Portionen schön angerichtet und die Geschmackskomponenten unglaublich passend abgestimmt. Leckere Weine und Schnäpse! Absoluter Geheimtipp für Heidelberg! Hier waren wir zwar das erste, aber nicht das letzte Mal!!!!!

Das Ambiente im Spreisel ist sehr urig und sehr gemütlich. Das Essen schmeckt gut, teilweise ist das Preis und Leistungsverhältnis ein bisschen unrealistisch. Dennoch isst man im Spreisel gut. Die Auswahl ist sehr groß und die rustikale Küche ist toll!

Urige Atmosphäre, sehr netter Service. Gans war geschmacklich sehr gut, aber zäh und deshalb für 36,90 Euro enttäuschend. Rotkohl top. Salatdressing zu essigsauer.

Sehr gemütliches Lokal, tolles Essen und sehr freundlicher Service. Ein Tipp für Heidelberg Besucher!

Sehr schöne urige Atmosphäre, die Gans war in Ordnung, knusprig aber etwas zäh, die Knödel etwas fad. Der Kaiserschmarn war hervorragend. Wir haben es genossen :)

Amaizing place & food. Great service

Ein schöner laden, mit sehr gutem Essen. Wir gehen hier seit Jahren hin und sind immer sehr zufrieden. Ich kann es nur empfehlen.

Essen: Ein Geficht, so wie von Omas Küche. Personal sehr net. Ist nicht billig aber preiswert. Kann es sehr empfehlen.

Super lecker, sehr liebe und nette Bedienung, uriges Ambiente. Sehr faire und angemessene Preise. Hammer Portionen, auf jeden Fall einen Besuch Wert. Man kriegt was für sein Geld
