Weinstube Zum Domstein in Trier

On Saturday we had dinner with the family at Domstein (grandma, aunt, mom and me). The service was extremely warm, professional and we felt very comfortable. The food was also very tasty and tasted something completely different (we had something from the Roman menu). Although the shop was full (Saturday evening Christmas market), everything went very quickly without seeming hectic. I'm a hotel manager myself and I'm super critical when it comes to eating out, but we all felt very comfortable here and would love to come back. Clear recommendation and make sure you keep your team like this! Thank you for the lovely evening 😊 PS: There is also a large and diverse selection of vegan and vegetarian dishes!

A disappointing experience overall. The food was average at best. Regarding service, we were informed that our table was reserved until 6:30. However, at 5:30, when we wanted to order dessert, the staff rudely told us we couldn’t because the table was booked for 6:00. Even if that were the case, we still had 30 minutes left. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this place.

Ate very well, sat very well, was served very well!

First class cuisine. Friendly professional staff. Historic building. Top

We had a really delicious meal. Our meat was super tender and perfectly cooked the way we like it. The service went smoothly, everyone was friendly and very helpful. I have no comments whatsoever. I definitely recommend this restaurant if you want good food in Trier.

The restaurant is very nicely decorated and the service was friendly. However, I have never eaten such bad dumplings in any restaurant - definitely not homemade, tastes like ready-made powder. However, the meat was surprisingly tender and good. On the whole, more of a tourist restaurant.

Rustic German food with nice wines. Located right on the main market and includes Roman dishes and their names in the menu.

Nice atmosphere, in the middle of the city, delicious food and very nice service.

The Roman menu is delicious and also lactose free. Prepare to get full in a nice environment with friendly stuff. I would recommend to reserve a seat.

I loved this place. Great food, friendly staff, and the "wine float for tasting was great

A really successful evening. The service is top, very accommodating, attentive and very friendly. The food is excellent value for money and tastes very good. We can also recommend the wine tastings and the rest of the drinks menu 😉. An evening with a lot of passion and brotherhood.

Uriges Ambiente und zünftige Speisen! Highlight natürlich die römischen Gerichte aus einem Kochbuch des 9. Jahrhunderts. Römische Vorspeisen, Spießbraten und Rumpsteak waren top.

Snelle hap rond de middag. Goed voor lunch , spaghetti genomen. Weg van de minste weerstand. Zag rondom mij nogal wat borden , die niet volledig waren opgegeten.

Food was unfortunately not very good. Atmosphere and location are excellent

Very good home cooking with good service. Very friendly and attentive service, little waiting time.

Cold staff, unattractive room, frozen fries and uninteresting dishes. To avoid.

Personnel froid, salle sans attrait, frites surgelées et plats sans intérêt. Nous avons été déçus car au vu des commentaires nous nous attendions à mieux. A éviter.

The finest, exquisite regional dishes and great wine-typical decoration.

The food was inedible. The fries were soft, the meat was frozen and the consistency was like rubber.

Ich hatte für unseren Jahresausflug den historischen Weinkeller im Restaurant Zum Domstein erst per Mail und dann telefonisch für 13 Personen reserviert. Als wir dort pünktlich um 20h ankamen hieß es der Weinkeller wäre voll und wir müssen in der Gaststätte Platz nehmen. Die Enttäuschung war groß bei uns. Denn wir hatten das Restaurant wegen dem besonderen Weinkeller ausgesucht. Dem entsprechend war die Stimmung in der Gruppe. Aus Neugierde bin ich dann in den Weinkeller gegangen um zu schauen ob wirklich alles belegt war. Zu meiner großen Überraschung war der Winkeller nur knapp zur Hälfte belegt. Auf Nachfrage wurde mir vom Service mitgeteilt das aufgrund von Personalmangel unten nicht mehr Personen sitzen können. Warum kann man das nicht im Vorfeld kommunizieren und warum wird man so vor Ort als Gruppe vorgeführt. Zumal ich die Reservierung schon vor 2 Monaten schriftlich gemacht habe. Leider konnte dann im Gastraum keine wirklich gute Stimmung entstehen da wir bereits um 21.45h zum Zahlen aufgefordert worden sind. Warum hat man uns bei der Reservierung nicht darauf aufmerksam gemacht. Dann hätten wir ja reagieren können und wären früher gekommen. Ich verstehe das durch den Personalmangel große Herausforderungen zu bewältigen sind. Aber mit solch schlechter Kommunikation hab ich bei einem solch renommierten Restaurant im Herzen der Altstadt Triers nicht gerechnet. Gruppe Bad Schönborn Klaus Heinzmann

Very tasty food and good atmosphere. Very friendly and good service. Wine recommendation was spot on.

1 hour and 15 minutes before the restaurant closed, the service had to be "persuaded" to let us sit down for a glass of wine. It was no longer possible to buy a bottle, even though the restaurant was still busy.

Old rustic wine bar that has its charm. Located right in the city center which makes the parking situation difficult. There are also seats in front of the restaurant. The portion of the food was sufficient. I had to add a little seasoning, but that's okay. I would have liked a little more wine flavor in both the red cabbage and the goulash in a wine bar. It just came across as very delicate. Otherwise it was fine. The service was very friendly. The atmosphere is quite rustic but neat and clean. All in all good.

Accueil moyen Serveuse désagréable au moment de l'adition... être souriante ne coûte rien Cuisine correct.... sans plus

Today we had ancient Roman food, you should definitely try it. We had the Roman starter plate (very rich) and ham in myrtle-fig sauce and my husband had suckling pig in peacock sauce. These were completely different spices but really delicious and very Highly recommended if you don't want the usual monotony. Service was also great. Conclusion: full recommendation.

We really enjoyed the visit, especially with the concept of trying old Roman dishes. We took the starter mix and one main course each. We enjoyed everything very much and the service was quick too 👍 The beer is also recommended 😉

Nice atmosphere in a central location. Unfortunately, the food was just mediocre and very overpriced for the quality. Not recommended.

Nice location in the middle of Trier. Authentic and everything is neat. The food is good and the banana Weizen is highly recommended. When we made the reservation it was said that there would be little space and we had little choice, but that turned out not to be so bad.

There are no spices in the kitchen, the only thing available is a pile of frozen goods. The "Wiener Schnitzel" came straight from the freezer and had no taste.

The concept of Roman dishes is interesting in itself, but I think the portions are too small and the service wasn't particularly good either. The wine rolls, which according to the menu are part of the dish, were only brought to us upon request.

What a great place to dine in after a day out exploring the city. Warmly welcomed by the staff and a lovely atmosphere. Ordered my food and drinks and chilled while i waited. When the food arrived it was well presented, hot and fresh. The side salad had a lovely taste, a great accompaniment to the Wiener schnitzel. I took my time eating, as i was enjoying it so much. The schnitzel was cooked to a turn, so tasty and delicious, it certainly went down a treat. I had been craving schnitzel all day and I'm so glad i discovered this restaurant as it was the best ending to my visit to Trier, before heading back to Luxembourg. I left the restaurant with a full and very contented tummy. My compliments to the chef on giving me a fantastic dinner and the service staff for the great welcome.

The schnitzel is not recommended… Salad dressing tastes very artificial. Too bad.

Service gut, Essen Katastrophal. Salat nicht frisch und mit einem Haar offen am Rand. Hätte man sehen müssen! „Holzfäller“Steak war nur ein kleines blanko Schnitzel mit fertig Röstzwiebeln. Nudeln mit Lachs war trocken und Fischig. Wienerschnitzel war OK. Putensteak war trocken!

Excellent value for money! Very pleasant staff even during tourist periods

Food is good.....Nice atmosphere

Unfortunately had some drinks here. Staff was not friendly. We therefore decided not to eat here. No further tip given. Even though we are tourists, we should be treated in a friendly manner.

The service and the ambience, especially in the courtyard area, are worth seeing. The staff was very friendly. Unfortunately the food wasn't up to snuff. Everything was well prepared, but very bland in taste. There was a lot of spice missing. Unfortunately, the soups tasted more like finished goods. Overall, it's worth a visit for a drink, but unfortunately we didn't enjoy the hearty food.

When we are in Trier, the Domstein is a must. I love the “old” Roman dishes.

Too bad, the exteriors were closed due to lack of staff.

Unfriendly and rude staff. We came with six people and were not allowed to sit anywhere. It was not possible to push tables together or add chairs to a four-person table. This meant that we had nowhere to sit together.

We had dinner there at the end of our visit to the city of Trier. There is seating outside on the shopping street, inside and in a spacious courtyard. We sat comfortably and protected from the sun in the courtyard. The food was, there is no other way to say it, simply of a high standard. It was delicious and the prices were normal. The service was friendly and the food came quickly. The children are also thought of. There were crayons, something to color in and a children's menu with a good selection. My wife had a cheese-filled vegetable pocket, I had the Trier spit roast, which was so tasty and tender that a knife seemed unnecessary, and our son had the fries and schnitzel dish, with a schnitzel that deserved the name (and not some warmed-up junk like in the restaurant near Lichtenberg Castle) I found the selection of dishes based on original Roman recipes interesting, but we didn't try them because it was our departure day. Since we only had one dish each, I unfortunately can't make a specific recommendation. Judging by our order, I also expect the same high quality of other dishes. The sanitary facilities are probably from the 1970s.

We really enjoyed our time in the garden with good food and cola and beer 🍺 🍺

Very tasty salad plate eaten on our trip to Trier. You have to try the Roman rolls. The garden behind the house is very nice to sit in.

The inner courtyard was unfortunately closed due to a lack of staff. Very, very unfortunate.

Sehr angenehm auf der Terrasse zu sitzen, da es im Gegensatz zur Fußgängerzone ruhiger ist. Das Essen war auch gut, vor allem der Gemüsestrudel den ich so zum ersten Mal gesehen habe.

Very nice for lunch and at the back of the terrace, some peace and quiet from the pedestrian zone.

Friendly staff and nice location, but the food was just so and so and you pay a lot for what you get.

Roman food in a beautiful restaurant (we sat outside because of the nice weather). Nice staff and nice that you can also eat something local that has to do with history! Price is fine

Bad treatment by the staff, nothing to smile about

We ate delicious tapas with a nice glass of wine. The stube is very tastefully decorated with bottles in all kinds of ways. Friendly staff, in short, we had a wonderful evening!

Zeer mooie zaak op de markt van Trier. Het keldergedeelte was niet open, wat eigenlijk het doel was van ons bezoek,jammer.

Het regende maar buiten staan er paraplu’s waaronder je droog kan zitten. Binnen was er geen plaats zonder reservering dus onvriendelijk buiten gewerkt. Dan maar, omdat er buiten een bordje met de vermelding stond „bij regen buiten geen bediening“ wij naar binnen om zelf drankjes af te halen. We waren nog vlugger buiten dan gehoopt want drinken van binnen naar buiten meenemen was „ not done“ werd ons nogmaals op een onvriendelijke wijze duidelijk gemaakt.

You are not allowed to sit outside at a table with 6 people. Very unfortunate.

We were in Trier for a few days and went there every now and then for a drink. We ate there once. Staff always very accommodating and super friendly. Food was very tasty. We can absolutely recommend it.

After a long journey and an interesting tour through the history of the city, we went to the Domstein for strength. After a manageable wine tasting, it was time for an outstanding meal based on Roman recipes from the cookbook “De re coquinaria”. It was a very successful evening in the historic inner courtyard, which was only diminished by the Austrian own goal at the European Championships 🏟️.

Absolute 5 stars! Very good food, decent portions!

Tasteless frozen goods Yesterday we had the puff pastry filled with vegetables for around €16.50. A vegetarian dish. I haven't eaten so badly in a long time. Completely tasteless frozen food. Then it was baked for too long, so it was dry, and the vegetable pulp inside had no taste at all. A disgrace for this price The service wasn't particularly friendly either, so I don't recommend it. The website is a joke too!

We were particularly impressed by the vegan dishes on the menu. But they are a failure, they tasted like unseasoned ready meals.

Prices do not match the prices on the homepage at all. Prices are €5-6 expensive locally. If you politely point this out to the waiter, you will be dealt with straight away. A pity

The food was very good. Service was nice. The restaurant is located directly on the market square. I had the venison ragout and it was perfect. I can only recommend the restaurant.

Nach der Besichtung einiger Sehenswürdigkeiten sind wir mit knurrendem Magen im Restaurant ZUM DOMSTEIN gelandet. Im Außenbeleuchtung war ein Tisch frei, also nahmen wir, im Schatten eines großen Schirmes" mitten in dè Trierer Altstadt, Platz. Die Kellnerin kam sehr schnell, obwohl die Tische gut besetzt waren. Sie war sehr freundlich und nett und konnte ein Späßchen verstehen. Unsere Getränke waren gut gekühlt. Das Essen, wurde heiß serviert: 1x Hirschragout - dazu gab es ein Apfelkompott und 1x Spießbraten dazu wurde ein frischer Salat gereicht, war ausgesprochen lecker. War reichlich und wir mussten nicht allzulange warten. Auf unsere Wünsche, wie Kroketten - statt Spätzle, wurde problemlos eingegangen. Die Toiletten waren sauber, Papier und waren Seife vorhanden. Der Restaurantinnenraum ist sehenswert. Wir können nichts Negatives finden und empfehlen gerne einen Besuch.

Tijdens een bezoek in Trier waren we op zoek naar een plekje op het terras om met 7 personen wat te drinken en te lunchen. Er was genoeg plek alleen beschikte dit terras enkel over tafeltjes voor maximaal 4 personen. We probeerde een mevrouw van de bediening aan te spreken met de vraag of er 2 tafeltjes naast elkaar geschoven kon worden. Deze mevrouw liep ons een paar keer voorbij zonder wat terug te zeggen en keek af en toe heel boos naar onze kinderen die te lagen te slapen in de kinderwagen. Toen we nogmaals vroegen of ze een plekje voor ons kon maken snauwde ze heel boos NEE en liep gelijk door. Andere gasten op het terras hadden dit opgemerkt. Één koppel op het terras vertelde ons dat deze mevrouw uit de bediening ook heel onbeleefd naar hun toe deed en ze daarom al hadden besloten om ergens anders te gaan lunchen. Een ander stel aan een tafel gaf aan dat het eten tevens ook zeer slecht bereid was en deze door de bediening zuchtend aan tafel werd geserveerd. Ga hier dus niet naar toe!

Location and the staff are great. Unfortunately the food comes from the microwave. Maybe “replace the cook”

Rustic atmosphere, friendly service, but you shouldn't expect too much from the food.

We ate there with a group of 34 people by prior arrangement and meal planning. The stay was smooth, the food arrived quickly and was delicious. Thank you!

Situated right in the centre of Trier, this restaurant offers lots of dishes and also a wine tasting menu. The staff are very friendly and it is a lovely place to come on a sunny day!

Waitress very rude, couldn't even buy a water.

Nice german homemade food restaurant

Very nice restaurant. The food was delicious and the service was very accommodating.

The waitress had made it clear to us in a rather brutally unfriendly way that we were not allowed to sit at 1 table with 6 people. Grabbed some stuff and then went to the tavern next door. Where it was a top service!!

Very unfriendly because we wanted to sit at a table with 6 people..

Personnel particulièrement désagréable. Rarement vu une serveuse (en terrasse) aussi désagréable. A déconseiller !

Absolutely disgusting group meal from starter (soup) to dessert (very dry chocolate cake). Main course: only tasteless vegetables. No meats, much to the dismay of most participants. I ate nothing !

Five of us came for a beer in the late afternoon and were allowed to sit in the cellar. We were all very impressed by the room and its Roman ambience! The service was very friendly, interested and worked quickly. But it's still only four stars because we came back the next day and wanted to have another beer, but the place was just closing before 10 p.m. That surprised us, especially because of the central location and the activity that was still happening on the square.

We had an excellent dinner here. The food was delicious and plentiful. I recommend you the old Roman dishes.

The Roman dishes are exceptional and very tasty.

Delicious food, nice staff, highly recommended the wine tasting

Ich habe ein komplett antik römisches Menü gehabt, und die kulinarische Zeitreise mit jedem Bissen genossen. Das Essen wurde schnell serviert, war wirklich sehr lecker, und die Bedienung äußerst zuvorkommend und sehr freundlich. Selbst Sonderwünsche wurden erfüllt, und ich fühlte mich wirklich sehr gut betreut und beraten. Ich habe die Zeit im Restaurant zum Domstein wirklich genossen, und kann die negativen Bewertungen wirklich nicht verstehen.

German snitzel with pommes was certainly tasty

CATASTROPHE!! There was hair in the food, the food had to be returned and remade, and you can't speak Latin either (too many grammatical errors on the menu, wrong case). Embarrassing for Trier, this shouldn't be considered a Roman restaurant.

There was hair in my food (blonde and black) but I have brown hair. Glasses were very dirty. Food was very sour. Unfortunately I have to give one star. Otherwise there wouldn't have been one

The menu based on ancient Roman cuisine appears on just one page of the menu, and it's worth taking your cell phone to do the translations - they didn't give us a menu in English, as it was in Latin and German (however, we didn't get to ask for a menu in English , although we were speaking in English with the attendant). Mulsum, a Roman drink, has a very different flavor and is worth trying. As a dish we ordered tapas, which were small portions of food typical of Ancient Rome. It was very worth the visit, and the price is appropriate.

Restaurant on the market square, very pleasant interior, quiet, top service, very pleasant waitress, and very good food with a fair price. I highly recommend.

Excellent. You can taste typical Roman food as well as a good schnitzel.

So unfortunately it wasn't culinary. The food was straight from the freezer. The service was nice and accommodating.

Delicious food, nice service in a historic atmosphere

The Roman dishes are absolutely recommended!!! This chef is unbeatable! Service is good, location very authentic. Prices are reasonable when considered as a whole package. Definitely I'll come back!

Seldom eaten so insignificantly. Not recommended. Wine OK.

Nice old restaurant with friendly service. Food was very good. Absolute recommendation

We had a very nice evening there. Good wine and delicious food

Very nice staff and the food was amazing! We were there 2 days in a row😍

Good restaurant Simple but tasty dishes A little retro atmosphere but I like it. Professional and pleasant staff. Suitable prices

A very good place to eat food, the staff is always very attentive to customers. The food is recommended and some prices are affordable. I recommend it 👍

Centrally local in the square, you can’t miss it. During tourist season they have outdoor seating but they have a back patio as well. Food is good, wines are amazing and service can be hit or miss but most servers do speak a little English. Great place to people watch! Highly recommend their soups!

Very tasty, I would love to go there again 😋

I've been coming here every now and then since 1979. For a beer or to eat and I was always very satisfied. The Domstein kitchen impresses with its clear plate language and consistent quality; you can tell that recipes are being cooked here. The staff is friendly and attentive. I hope to be able to visit this quaint restaurant for a long time to come. I wish you good luck🍀🍀🍀 and much success for the new year.

Excellent service, excellent price/quality, reservations recommended.

Good restaurant to try something different, like dishes prepared according to an old Roman cookbook. It is worth it ..

My wife and I ordered Trier-style spit roast here. This is served with french fries and salad. My wife wanted potato dumplings... no problem!!! Everything came as ordered! The meat was very tender and not stringy. Advice on wine selection. Wine tasting is welcome. The ambience suits the restaurant and Trier's old town. The prices are reasonable! The service was quick and very friendly. Arni would say: I'll be back! And I will definitely come back! Thanks to the service and chef!!!!!

Fast attention, Good flavor in the dishes. Traditional. They don't have dark draft beer, only bottled beer. Pleasant atmosphere
