The Spanish Garden in Linz am Rhein

The food was very tasty and fresh, although the portion size was a bit small in my opinion. Unfortunately, I received pork that was completely overcooked and therefore dry and tough, and without any sauce or dip. I assume it was an oversight—but that shouldn't happen.

A highly recommended Spanish restaurant with an idyllic and cozy courtyard, it's a great place to linger. Even when it rains, you can dine comfortably in the ambiance of the vaulted cellar. The new owners are super friendly and cater to all your needs. The food is truly delicious, and the prices are absolutely reasonable. We'll be back again and again.

Our initial, extremely positive impression of this beautiful restaurant was confirmed in every respect. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed an excellent meal in a wonderful atmosphere. Anyone who likes Spanish tapas will love them after a visit to this restaurant. A huge compliment to the kitchen. Everything was to our complete satisfaction. This certainly won't be our last visit.

This is the second time I have been there since the reopening and the new operators and I would come again and again! Both the outdoor and indoor areas are inviting and give holiday vibes. The Spanish music and the great decor really bring the Spanish atmosphere across! The staff is super nice and even when it's a little busy they're there to help and give you advice and have time for a little chat. The menu fulfilled all wishes and the food was delicious! The aioli is the best I've eaten so far and I can also recommend the chorizo ​​to everyone! Thanks also for every tip from the waitress, everything that was recommended was really tasty. You should definitely leave some room for dessert, both are really world class! I would love to come back and can wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone! The restaurant has really come into its own!

Very friendly service and a pleasant atmosphere. The food is delicious and seems authentic, especially the tapas. Good value for money. Overall, a successful visit – we'd be happy to return.

Tonight I visited the Spanish Garden – the tapas food was outstanding! The owners and staff were very friendly; I felt like I was on vacation for a short time. I highly recommend it to everyone.

Can't confirm the previous positive reviews! First and last time there since the reopening - food not recommended! A tip for the boss: even if you want to run your business like a family, and we're in the Rhineland, you shouldn't address your guests informally if they're there for the first time and you don't know each other personally!!!!!!!

Very friendly new tenants, great service, and the food was truly delicious! We're happy that the Spanish Garden has been preserved after all. Thank you for the lovely evening!

Unfortunately, I can only give it 5 stars. 10 would be at least my opinion 😅 but they're more than justified...absolutely amazing 😍 Now that new owners have finally taken over, you can finally enjoy truly amazing Spanish tapas of the highest quality here...Spain in Linz😍 The service is incredibly friendly and accommodating...everything is incredibly clean 👍🏻👍🏻, so everything is 100% better than before...I'm already looking forward to my next visit... Hasta proximo vez 🤗❤️

Fantastic place, wonderful people & a typical ambience on top of that. Full 5 stars and it's absolutely not about perfection but rather a love of good food and humanity. Yes, it was full, so we expected a longer wait. The girls worked incredibly hard and the chef cooked world-class food. What more could you want?! We are grateful for a lovely evening after 25 kilometers on the Rheinsteig!

I had dinner here with my wife for our wedding anniversary. The food is very good, delicious! The service is very friendly! And a really nice Mediterranean atmosphere! We can absolutely recommend it!

So nice that the Spanish Garden is back! I'm so happy that the Spanish Garden is open again! The tapas are, as always, delicious – especially the bacon-wrapped dates and the patatas bravas are to die for. The atmosphere is simply beautiful and really cozy - you immediately feel like you're on vacation 🌿✨. The team is super friendly and you can tell that they work here with a lot of heart ❤️. I'll definitely be back!

The Spanish Garden is a real insider tip for everyone who loves authentic Spanish cuisine. As soon as you enter the restaurant you feel like you are on holiday - the Mediterranean ambience, the lovingly decorated tables and the friendly welcome immediately create a warm, inviting atmosphere. The menu is diverse and offers a successful selection of classic tapas. Conclusion: An all-round successful culinary experience with a lot of heart and taste. I'd love to come back!

I've been waiting for you for so long. Finally you're here ;-) And of course there's nothing to complain about. Food, service, ambience: everything perfect. I'll be back soon

Super tasty and super nice staff! Absolutely worth recommending! :)

Nice atmosphere, friendly service, price/performance ratio is not right. Food hardly seasoned, bread has to be ordered and paid for separately. Had something to drink, but no attention from the staff, so paid and left. It's a shame, we expected more.

Very cozy restaurant and courtyard. The new operators have it remarkably clean. That caught my eye straight away. Unfortunately, our spontaneous visit was too late for dinner. Nevertheless, the new operating couple took the time with us to have a nightcap after a busy day. That's what I call true hospitality. You will see us here more often in the future. Clear recommendation! This time the restaurant management is genuinely with Spanish roots.

Finally open again! The wait is over - the Spanish Garden is open again. Very nice owners, the tapas are delicious, better than before and it is bright, clean and not as cramped as before!

The food was fanatical, the service was very loving and warm and the seating was really idyllic and felt like a holiday. An absolute recommendation 🤩

A great restaurant, very cozy with delicious food.

Great atmosphere with friendly staff and delicious dishes.

Rustic atmosphere, a highlight for us for many years, the best sangria and stunning aioli. Homemade bread.

The Saarland hobby chef forces a conversation on you without asking. He also claims to be able to judge the “lack of doctoral degrees” among anesthesiologists. Without being asked, he proudly explains his career from banker to amateur chef. You lose your appetite. Even the waitress asks, bored, whether he's finally finished with his lecture so that she can finally take the drink order. The waitress is the only positive thing that can be mentioned here. You should not make a reservation in the vaulted cellar if you have to be reachable by phone. There is no reception there. Cold tapas are more reminiscent of a third-rate sausage platter and the warm tapas are further away from Spanish cuisine than Linz is from mainland Spain. The frozen squid rings are better in any supermarket than in the “Spanish Garden”. Cold, stale bread is served with the aioli. Last but not least, dirt constantly falls from the ceiling onto your head and into your food. That same evening, some of our group spent a lot of time on the toilet, and the remaining 10 people had to deal with gastrointestinal problems the next morning. Let's hope that his successor does more with this restaurant with a really nice atmosphere. A visit to the current operator is under no circumstances recommended

It was just a really great evening with really lovely friends. The food was very tasty and it is a shame that the restaurant is closing at the end of the year.

Everything is fine so far. Overall too warm. Toilets in the basement and can only be reached via a steep, narrow staircase.

Very tasty food. A dream garden. Highly recommended!

We got a table in the Spanish Garden at fairly short notice. Since there were eight of us, we were given a round table outside in the best weather. We shared tappas with several people and were more than full. The other dishes also looked really excellent. The fast and friendly service is also worth highlighting. We had a great evening with very good food and a great atmosphere.

Very very disappointing. On the first visit everything was great, the reservation went smoothly and the food was also very tasty. Now we wanted to come back with a larger group, but unfortunately the gentleman on the phone was so unfriendly and dismissive when he told me that nothing was available anymore that we definitely wouldn't go there anymore. Apparently the restaurant is overwhelmed with a booking of 8 people. The second star is only given because the food was really delicious last year.

Cozy location with a lot of flair

Very tasty, very nice and friendly. Point!!! :)

Really nice atmosphere, super friendly staff and the food, just delicious!! Decent portions! Even the tapas fill you up! Definitely worth a visit!! Or even lots of visits!

My god, what should I write? This restaurant is so beautiful. The inner courtyard is so beautifully planted. You feel like you are in Italy/Spain. The food was amazing. The service was very nice and quick. Price performance very 👍 But unfortunately this beautiful restaurant will probably be closed at the end of the year 😪

My brother invited us here for his birthday. It couldn't have been better! The food was amazing, the best tapas I've tasted so far. The inner courtyard and the restaurant are lovingly designed, the vaulted cellar is a highlight, especially for the children, and the boss is a wonderfully refreshing one-of-a-kind. I hope I can come back again.

We really enjoyed this tapas bar, which we found by chance. Very cozy and unique courtyard with an owner who was there for us straight away 😊. A little oasis that we will visit again 👍🏻😋

A very small, fine restaurant where you can eat very well, the various tabas are served, they all taste very good while they are still hot and the price for two people is around 60 euros. You almost have 8/9 different Papapas, a bottle of Ballasion water, very nice service, the ambience is great, you can see the pictures, the restaurant really looks at you, it's really a secret and you have to reserve in advance so we can't get to a place.

The outside area is beautiful and shady. The service was very committed and the wines carefully selected. The food is ok per se, just not very “authentic”.

As always perfect 👌 Luckily we can still enjoy the food and ambience this year.

We found the restaurant while strolling through the town of Linz. The view of the Garzen was inviting and made you want more. We first walked past only to stop there at the end. The tapas were delicious, the wine was good and the atmosphere was pleasant. On top of that, we received other excursion destinations as recommendations from the boss.

Very nice restaurant. Great food and nice staff.

A very nice restaurant garden with delicious tapas. But it closes at the end of 2024 🥲

Best Spaniard outside of Spain!

Always nice here! The food is delicious, the service is good and the prices are right. If you're visiting on the weekend, be sure to reserve a table about 2 weeks in advance!

A cozy restaurant with a great ambience. We had made reservations for outside but had to sit inside as it had rained and the outside seats were wet. As a result, the arrival and start of lunch wasn't as friendly and relaxed as I would have liked. There is wonderful food, which is beautifully presented. Everything tasted very good, according to my meat-eating companions. My vegetarian dish was great. A restaurant that I can highly recommend, but you should reserve in advance if you want to be sure of a seat.

Highly recommended, delicious, friendly and entertaining... very happy again

Great ambience. Very nice service and the food is also very tasty. We recommend.

The best tapas I have eaten. Great location. Super friendly service. Price performance top. The boss of the house is a nice and funny "Spanish" from Saarland. 😂 Absolutely recommended.

Best Spaniard ever between Linz and the Palatinate.

Really nice restaurant with a rustic atmosphere, really excellent tapas and warm owners.

Very tasty, good value for money. Nice service

Such lovely people there, delicious aioli and homemade bread

The best Spaniard in Linz and the surrounding area. Attentive service and the food is really tasty and beautifully presented. The ambience is really beautiful and extraordinary.

Very tasty food, everything was perfect. Gladly again.

Very nice there, would love to come back and in the summer you could sit outside.

Food was ok, portions could be larger

There's no need to say one more thing, great hosts and great tappas 😋

It looks inconspicuous from the outside (if the garden outside isn't open yet), but the food tastes great. Despite the long journey, we will go there again in the summer season. Operation and service were great! Friendly staff and on your first visit there are also recommendations for food and drinks from the owner. Ambiance is traditional - half-timbered house. Tip: Be sure to try bacon-wrapped dates.

Special place with tasty small plates.

Very quaint and cozy restaurant with excellent food and good wines! You can absolutely rely on the recommendations of the head of the house - a true Saarlander! He wears his heart on his tongue and always has a quick saying at the ready. The tapas are awesome. You should definitely make a reservation as it is always busy and places are limited.

Extremely delicious, reserve oaks in advance.

Everything perfect. We will be back. Very nice staff

It's hard for me to put my impressions into words... very nice, cozy restaurant. Delicious food and nice service. You can enjoy a relaxed evening here or celebrate a birthday, for any occasion. Price/performance is also right. I recommend it without hesitation and am looking forward to being here again.

Beautiful restaurant with great food, good wine and great service! Very cozy!

Very nice selection of tapas and friendly service.

A humorous couple runs the Spanish Garden with a lot of love. The tapas are a dream and all handmade and individually seasoned. The ambience in the listed house is very rustic and decorated with fresh flowers and Spanish wine. The bread and Aljoli are also homemade and get you in the mood for Spain. We particularly recommend the grilled squid or the black tiger. The stuffed tomatoes are also a must when we are there again.

Exemplary restaurant. Very tasty food, top service including wine advice and the ambience, especially the terrace in summer, is second to none. If you want to eat delicious and authentic tappas, you'll get your money's worth here. I can really only recommend this restaurant! See you next time.

To put it in a few words... everything is great. We have been there several times and love going there. No matter whether it's outside in summer or inside in winter, it's always rustic. The service is good, quick and friendly, the food is always tasty and more than sufficient. There's always something friendly about going there. Recommended without reservation...

The owner's unsympathetic manner really makes the joy of eating go away. As a vegan, you just want to eat in peace, like everyone else, without having to have what feels like the tenth fundamental discussion with the owner because he thinks he keeps making his negative attitude towards veganism known through stupid sayings and disinformation. I've really had enough. And my mother's guests also found the invasive manner inappropriate. My mother's next birthday will take place somewhere else.

Typical Spanish resto. The host from Saarland is very nice. Delicious tapas. You should definitely try it

A great restaurant with super tasty food and very good sangria

Sehr guter Service und gewohnt lecker

Super leckere Tapas und Weine! Sonntags reservieren!

Sehr schönes kleines Restaurant mit freundlichen Bedienung, klasse Beratung bei der Auswahl von Speisen und Getränke.

Wir waren heute hier zum Tapas Essen. Durch die Jahreszeit konnten wir leider nicht in dem schönen Garten sitzen. Da kommen wir auch zum Flair .. auf den ersten Blick sehr charmant und gemütlich, nur leider hätte das Restaurant sehr dringend einen Hausputz nötig. Die Spinnweben, bis zum Staub und dem Dreck auf dem Boden.. die Krönung war aber eine Serviette auf dem Boden, dass diese noch nicht laufen konnte, war alles. Der Service ist soweit gut und freundlich. Das essen war okay. Wir waren definitiv schon bei vielen Spaniern essen und dieses hier war eher ausreichend. Leider ist viel aus der Tiefkühltruhe und man merkt es an der Qualität. ZB die Tintenfischringe oder auch die Aioli ist definitiv nicht frisch zubereitet worden. Meine Frage an die Kellnerin, ob frische Eier verwendet wurden (da ich schwanger bin), konnte sie mir mit stottern beantworten: „ja, wahrscheinlich, aber ich frage sonst nochmal sicherheitshalber nach.“ Im gesamten war unser Aufenthalt okay, daher die drei Sterne. Aber wir gehen definitiv nicht mehr hierher.

Sehr leckeres Essen, große Auswahl, am besten Tisch vorbestellen.

Durch die Bank weg ein Traum. Der Besitzer (schien jedenfalls so) begrüßte und und fragt ob wir schon mal da gewesen wären. Als wir verneinten, stellte er uns verschiedene Platten vor und erklärte uns, was diese beinhalteten. Das hat uns die Entscheidung sehr leicht gemacht und es war sympathisch. Wir hatten die Tapasplatte bestellt und wurden mit sehr leckeren Tapas überrascht. Das Essen war super zubereitet und die Qualität merkt man sofort. Der selbstgemachte Sangria dazu hat das gesamt Erlebnis wunderbar abgerundet. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend, fragte mehrmals ob alles in Ordnung sei, fanden wir gut! Auf Nachfrage gab es nochmal frisches Brot und Aioli nach und das ganze ohne Aufpreis. Das wird sicher nicht unser letzter Besuch sein. Danke für das tolle Erlebnis!

Alles top! Wundervolles Ambiente, sehr nette Bedienung und suuuuuuuper Essen und Getränke! Wir kommen gern immer wieder! :)))

Es war außerordentlich gut. Das Wetter war hervorragend und wir konnten im Innenhof essen. Unbedingt vorher reservieren! Es wurde sofort leckeres Baguette mit hausgemachter Aioli serviert, einfach köstlich. Anschließend haben wir uns verschiedene warme Tapas ausgesucht (Champignons, Krabben in Tomaten-Sherrysoße, Tintenfischringe, Kartoffeln mit Meersalz und 2 Soßen, Käse und Thunfisch im Blätterteig, Fleischspieße) Alles war super lecker und die Sangria spezial passte wunderbar dazu. Das Personal war sehr freundlich. Wenn wir noch einmal durch Linz kommen, werden wir wieder einen Tisch reservieren.

Absolut hervorragend. Gemütliches Restaurant mit tollem Essen und freundlichem Personal. Allerdings ist eine Reservierung, lange vor dem geplanten Termin notwendig. Aber das Warten lohnt sich!

Sehr schönes Ambiente und der Garten ist einfach herlich. Preis Leistung stimmt zudem sehr gut.

Sehr schönes Restaurant mit sehr leckerem Essen

Sehr schön und urig. Das Essen ist lecker 😋

Es war sehr gut! Sehr gerne wieder

leuk restaurant met tapas zag er heel gezellig uit wel weinig open

Klasse Location mit sehr netten Bedingungen und Super leckeren Tapas. San Miguel gibt's auch und die Preise sind korrekt. Gerbe wieder. 👍

Der Kerl ist geil, endlich mal einer der sagt was er denkt. Gut Saarländer, aber Fehler hat jeder. Vom Humor geht's, ist halt kein Kölner. Jeder Zeit wieder, super Zeit gehabt.

Ein sehr schönes und kleines Restaurant immer wieder gerne

Das Essen war Hervorragendes Preis Leistung echt super und sehr schönes Ambiente. Werden wieder kommen.

Ein kleines sehr süßes Restaurant. Sehr guter Service. Essen sehr gut. In der Hauptsession Reservierung erforderlich. Man fühlt sich wir in Spanien. Immer ein Muss in Linz.

Alles in allem gut, spanische essen war nicht so unser Geschmack. Fehlende Infos vom Kellner.

Essen ist sehr gut und vielfältig. Service super!! Tolles Ambiente.. Nur leider sind die Stühle draußen sehr, sehr unbequem!!! Da macht es keinen Spaß länger sitzen zu bleiben und vielleicht noch das eine oder andere Getränk zu bestellen.

Tolle Tappas und sehr freundlicher Service. Am besten reservieren, denn das Restaurant ist zu Recht beliebt

Wunderschöner Innenhof umgeben von alten gemauert.Mann kann dort wunderbar sitzen. Das Essen ist sehr gut. Wir hatten eine Tapasplatte.Das einzige was ich bemängeln muss ist der Service aber vielleicht haben die auch nur einen schlechten tag erwischt. Wir werden aber auf jeden Fall wieder hinfahren.

Wunderschön dort. Essen war Spitze und das Personal top. Der Wirt hat immer einen Spruch drauf und bringt seine Gäste zum Lachen. Ich war bestimmt nicht das letzte Mal dort. Auf jeden Fall einen Tisch reservieren.

Schön draußen zu sitzen. Leckeres Essen. Hervorragender Wein. Schöner Besuch

Sehr gutes Restaurant mit vorzüglichen Tapas. Wir haben uns vom ersten Moment an wohl gefühlt. Der Service und das Ambiente bei passendem Wetter sorgte für einen schönen spanischen Abend. Beim nächsten Besuch in Linz ist der "Spanische Garten" ein Pflichttermin. Wir freuen uns darauf und können das Restaurant sehr empfehlen!!

Das Essen ist sehr lecker und Abwechslungsreich, die Bedienung ist sehr freundlich.

Sehr leckeres Essen und freundliches Personal. Das Personal war etwas unterbesetzt. Ambiente ist schön, man sitzt jedoch sehr beengt. Es hat uns gut gefallen.

Tolles Ambiente und leckeres Essen zu fairen Preisen. Sind schon seit Jahren Stammgäste hier!

Idyllisch, am besten Vorreservieren.
