Turnhalle in Saarbrücken

Staff unfriendly and inflexible. Price/performance... nothing for people with a small budget and nothing for people with a BIG hunger for something tasty... I won't throw my money down this "restaurant" again!

After numerous visits to the restaurant, I decided not to be a guest here anymore. Over time there has been a significant decline in quality. In my experience, it only works there if there are few guests and you are lucky with the staff. Then the service is good and the food is good. As soon as there is a little more activity (and I'm not talking about a fully occupied restaurant) you seem overwhelmed. During my last visit, a maximum of around 30% of the tables in the restaurant were occupied. We were the largest group in the restaurant that evening and there were ten orders for main courses at our table. It took over an hour between serving the first dish and the last dish! In addition, in one dish the meat was only lukewarm and in another the degree of doneness was well done instead of medium. Fittingly, during this time the service never once found its way to our table to check on the drinks. The question remains whether you are actually overwhelmed with such a small number of visitors, or whether you don't want to have guests from outside (non-hotel) and let them feel it. The behavior of the head waiter would also fit in with the latter, brushing off criticism with a slight French accent and poisonous arrogance. This is how you lose regular guests.

Good food at usual prices. Room temperature wasn't that high. Older audience.

Varied dishes at a very reasonable price. Of course not restaurant quality, but it almost always tastes good and the portions fill you up.

Four of us went to the Kartoffel for dinner. The quality and taste were very good! However, the quantity of food served was insufficient! When the dishes were cleared, we were asked about our impressions of the food, and we replied that the quality was very good, but unfortunately a little bit small! We were then told that they also have a gourmet block, where the food is a little less expensive! But I paid full price for the second meal, so it's absurd to cut costs on the amount of food. The restaurant should try to attract new customers with the gourmet block; they squandered that opportunity with us. We will report these schemes to our friends and advise everyone not to visit.
