Wilma Wunder in Karlsruhe

Wonderful schnitzel, simply perfect and a very cozy location!

Insider tip: Eggnog as a nightcap

The tarte flambée was cold and bone dry; it could have been better. Compensation after complaint was accepted: two espressos.

Delicious food, friendly staff, great decor, and wonderfully prepared. I'd gladly come again.

A super cute café right in the city center! Great atmosphere, you immediately feel at home. A wide selection and fantastic service. Highly recommended! ✨💫👍

Last Friday, I visited a friend in Karlsruhe, and we chose Wilma Wunder, as I'm already familiar with it from Cologne. Positive points: - Extremely pleasant atmosphere; you feel completely comfortable thanks to the bright, open space at the front of the restaurant. - The drinks and food were delicious. - Very friendly staff. Negative points: - After our visit, we both smelled strongly of a deep fryer, and our jackets were ruined. - While the staff was very friendly, at one point a female waitress was very loudly berated by a male waiter, which was unpleasant to witness as a guest. Nevertheless, we would return in the summer or once the smell issue has been resolved.

The cappuccino, hot chocolate, and cake were delicious, the service was friendly and attentive, and the prices were reasonable. However, on January 1st around 3:00 PM, it was packed, and we had to wait a while before we could order and then eat what we had ordered. When we reordered around 4:00 PM, everything went much faster.

The drinks arrived relatively quickly, but we had to wait quite a while for the food (almost 45 minutes). The coffee was already cold before the food arrived. However, it was very tasty and beautifully presented.

The restaurant smelled of old fryer oil. We left immediately.

This was our first time here. It was quite crowded and consequently very loud. Our order was taken quickly, and the drinks arrived promptly. However, we waited 45 minutes for our appetizer (bread with cold dip), and it only arrived after we inquired about it. The main courses arrived approximately 60 minutes after we ordered them. My dish (Beef Stroganoff) had so little meat in the sauce that it wasn't worth the price. My husband ordered fries as a side dish with his Smashed Croissant Burger, but they never arrived. When we asked about them, a portion was brought, but it wasn't charged as a side dish; instead, it was treated as a full meal. We weren't given a bill, only the final amount. Because of the discrepancy with the side dish, they only offered an explanation and didn't provide a separate bill. The food tasted okay, though not outstanding, but considering the whole experience, we can't recommend it and won't be returning.

Based on the pictures, we thought this place might be cozy. Unfortunately, we were disappointed: it was loud, but we were willing to overlook that. It took 45 minutes and a request to get the bread we had ordered as a €10 appetizer to arrive. It was supposed to be a quick snack. The Beef Stroganoff from the winter menu was priced at €25. We estimate there weren't even 100 grams of meat or sauce on the plate. The tarte flambée was pre-made, just like the fries. The smashed croissant tasted okay, but the execution was also convenience-oriented and disappointing. The side dish was misunderstood, first completely forgotten, and then charged in full. All in all, extremely sobering and disappointing. You're paying for the pretty setting.

Our visit was anything but wonderful. We ordered the tarte flambée from the lunch menu twice. The "diced beets" were completely missing, the "caramelized sweet potatoes" weren't caramelized, and the "spiced sour cream" was barely seasoned, if at all. When we pointed this out to the server, we received an espresso as compensation—for two incomplete main courses. A price reduction would have been far more appropriate.

Unfortunately, the staff has become very rude; it's no longer enjoyable to go there.

Terrible service; I had to endure being insulted by a self-proclaimed manager. Promoting high values ​​on the website and talking about respect, but insulting guests as "cunts" certainly doesn't speak well of a qualified manager; on the contrary, it damages the company's image. Hopefully, further action will be taken against the short, dark-haired colleague who worked on Thursday evening, December 18th. This young man has no place in the service industry or in dealing with people.

I was here for lunch with a friend. We ordered the "Good Morning Toast." When it arrived and I took my first bite, I noticed that the sauce was spicy. I asked the server if the toast could be replaced or served without sauce. However, I was told that wasn't possible. I then checked the menu again, but it didn't indicate that the sauce was spicy. The comment that the food would have to be thrown away was completely unacceptable—especially since we still had to pay for the meal, or rather, we only received a 20% discount plus a hot drink. We weren't offered any alternative dishes. This was my second visit here. The first time, we were there for dinner, and there was a hair in my pasta under the tomato sauce. It couldn't have been from me. The plate was replaced then, which was fine with me. However, I have no understanding for the second visit, and especially not for the staff's reaction. I was told that I should ask if I had an allergy, for example. However, if the menu had mentioned that the sauce was spicy, it would have been my fault—but that wasn't the case.

Very tasty breakfast and the service staff is really excellent!

It smelled terribly of deep fryer. My glasses smelled bad for days afterwards... The food wasn't good – poorly seasoned.

We attended a company party at Wilma Wunder with a very large group. Everything went perfectly! Communication beforehand was incredibly easy, accommodating, and quick. We ordered à la carte, which wasn't a problem despite the size of our group. All the dishes arrived promptly, almost simultaneously, and tasted fantastic. The service was top-notch! Many thanks to the wonderful colleague who served us all last night! The ambiance, the location, and especially the outdoor area (even in winter when it's raining! Large umbrellas, standing tables, and patio heaters) are fantastic. All in all, a full 5 stars, thank you so much for having us as your guests!

The food was outstanding – fresh, flavorful, and with a truly impressive selection. The drinks menu was also excellent, perfectly complementing the culinary offerings. The young waiter was exceptionally friendly and attentive without being intrusive. Overall, a restaurant I can wholeheartedly recommend. Highly recommended.

Great place to visit with your friends ❤️

Fantastic restaurant! Wilma Wunder impresses with delicious food, a lovely atmosphere, and very friendly service. I felt completely at ease – highly recommended!

The food is not worth it at all, maybe the breakfast menu is but we arrived after 12 unfortunately

Great location with excellent food and attentive service.

The best cappuccino ever, please don't change coffee brands! My only complaint is the noise coming from the dishwashing area – the sound of plates being handled roughly. We would have liked to have a few more, but in a quieter atmosphere.

Delicious food in a great atmosphere.

I just visited this lovely place today, and it was a wonderful experience. They greeted us with a smile and offered us a table without reservation. We had the pancakes and freshly brewed orange juice. It was such a treat. Although the amount of berries in the pancakes was immense. The portion was full filling.

Delicious, very kid-friendly. Perfect for breakfast.

They put a lot of effort into marketing and appearances, but the facade hides some questionable details. The first time I visited (in May 2024), I wanted to order some tap water together with my meal and other drink, but I was told they couldn't serve tap water because it was contaminated with lead due to their old pipes. Makes me wonder what water they cook the food with. The second time I visited (November 2025), I was part of a larger group where some people cancelled last minute. They told us there would be a charge of 30€ for every person who reserved and did not come, and that this charge was supposedly noted in the documents that were included with the text messages to confirm the reservation. Even after looking through all the legal documents, we were unable to find details of this (the OpenTable terms & conditions imply that restaurants may have their own policy on no-show charges, but I could not find it mentioned anywhere on the restaurant's part). While they did not actually end up charging us, the experience left a bad taste in our mouths. Personally I enjoyed my food and drinks, but some of my companions did not. Also the acoustics of the room are pretty bad, when the restaurant is packed it's very difficult to have a conversation. I will definitely never come back here after these experiences.

We ate there with two adults and two children. The ambiance is truly breathtaking! Even the restrooms show great attention to aesthetics. The menu is also excellent, both visually and in terms of content! The drinks are great too (recommendation: homemade lemonade!). The wait time was very short. Unfortunately, I have to deduct one star for the lackluster service and the small portions for the price. A little more food would have been nice, even for the children's portions. And a smile would suit every server and wouldn't hurt at all ;)

Extremely friendly waitress Cathy remembered our order from last time and took her time to suggest drinks. Drinks are so nice too, would definitely recommend

Wonderful atmosphere, very friendly service, and an incredibly delicious breakfast. In this context, I'd like to mention that the expectations we had at GuMo, which weren't met there, were finally fulfilled here. I can wholeheartedly recommend Wilma Wunder. We'll definitely be back.

Highly recommended. Menu with that certain "something"

I wanted to order something to satisfy my hunger, but since I am neither disabled nor a minor, I was not allowed to do so.

A wonderful discovery in the heart of Karlsruhe! The setting is truly charming, and the staff is very pleasant and attentive. The food is a success: German cuisine reinterpreted with taste. It's both beautiful and delicious, and you leave with the impression of having eaten good, revisited "classics." A place to recommend!

Since the restaurant was relatively quiet at the time we arrived, which was quite pleasant for us, I was surprised by the seating arrangements. There were waits (about 5 minutes - one group ahead of us), as the front-of-house staff took over this job, and then you don't want to know what's going on when the restaurant is completely full. Nevertheless, the service was genuinely attentive, even if it was lacking in competence and our table was rarely checked. The ambiance seems to be Wilma Wunder's signature, and some of our food and drinks also had Instagram potential. However, the quality was the biggest disappointment here. I had the fitness noodles and was impressed by the taste and the concept. Vegetable chips, which were supposed to provide crunch, were either fried too briefly or had already spent too much time cooking. The desired crunch was missing. Overall, I also felt like I was eating a rather lukewarm dish. The temperature certainly had no effect on the cheese that came with it. Last but not least, based on the description, I would have imagined a creamy coconut sauce, but it was more like pasta water. Since the service, as mentioned above, was very attentive, I refrained from criticizing it, but I would like to express it in retrospect, as I think there's real potential here. The ideas seem great to me, but the execution seems to suffer. Conclusion: A real eye-catcher with a great concept, which unfortunately hasn't lived up to expectations so far.

Very stylish ambience, super friendly and delicious food

Perfect all around! Great service (very friendly and attentive) Delicious breakfast options! P.S. The ube latte is highly recommended! 💜😉

Nice restaurant in the center of Karlsruhe.

We were there that evening with 25 people. Sophie looked after us excellently, very quickly and courteously. We were really pleased that everything was perfectly prepared and delivered for such a large number, as we hadn't chosen any dishes in advance, but had ordered everything à la carte. Everyone enjoyed it, and many of us will be back soon.

We had a great time with good food and great service. All in all, a successful evening.

The food was lukewarm at best, the service was infrequent, all in all very disappointing.

The food is indescribably delicious. Today was our first time at Wilma Wunder, and it certainly won't be the last. My favorite is the Ziegenpeter tarte flambée.

Everything was perfect here and my stay in KA was even more enjoyable thanks to my visit here.

The food was very delicious. The portions were generous. If you're really hungry, you should order one of the delicious appetizers or an equally delicious dessert. The guest enchanters are so diligent and incredibly friendly, many others could learn a thing or two from their work. Only the music wasn't to our taste; it was more for a younger crowd. But that wasn't why we were there. Very detailed allergen menu(s) - thank you very much; it's absolutely exemplary.

Let me put it this way: The food is really good; I don't think there's anything wrong with it, nor with the staff's work—quite the opposite. But the prices are a bit... pffff...

Very nice service, a bit warm in the dining room

It's really rude when you want to order something for a snack and you're told it's only for children, that's not possible. If we'd had a child with us, would it have been possible??? Sorry, how inflexible!! Especially since two more people are coming in and want to take orders. And when you ask how long the place is open, you get a minute of "uhhhmmmm..." The salmon and spinach pasta was ice cold, the potato salad was almost inedible (canteen food), and the prices are unfortunately not reasonable! Well... if you've already renovated the place, which looks good, then adjust to the standards!

Great location! We'd love to go back. We also managed well with a large group.

Top food, top service, would go back.

Great selection of dishes, something for everyone, even unusual dishes, very tasty and beautifully presented (see photos). We had a super friendly server.

We were there for the first time today. We received a very friendly welcome and were shown to our table. The food was excellent, plentiful, and attractively presented. Excellent service. Excellent value for money. We'll definitely be back 👍👍👍👍👍

We were in a group having brunch and it was really delicious again 🙂 will definitely come again

An example of how fast-food chains can also be good. Modern and very cozy ambiance. Homely cooking, plus seasonal specials. We found everything from the beef roulade and shoulder of pork to the kids' dishes with schnitzel and fish sticks to be very tasty. Good drinks selection too, but unfortunately a bit overpriced. Almost €7 for a homemade lemonade is simply too much.

The entire restaurant had a very strong kitchen smell of grease and fried food. Unfortunately, it was very unpleasant. Afterward, everything (clothes and hair) smelled of the kitchen. Otherwise, it was very nice and delicious.

Very nice restaurant with good food and friendly service.

If you’re going there for food, absolutely not recommended

Good food, nice atmosphere, but service was extremely slow. The place was almost empty, there were only five tables occupied, and it took 20 minutes to get the menu, another 15 minutes to order a drink, and then another 20 minutes to order the food. After another 45 minutes, the food arrived, and unfortunately, two of the eight dishes weren't brought correctly.

My favorite restaurant in all of Karlsruhe. The prices are quite high but that makes for a good time.

A well-deserved five stars! We had a wonderful stay. The staff is very attentive, and the ambiance is perfect. Sustainability and freshness are a priority here. The dishes are excellently prepared and delicious. The drinks menu offers some exceptional options. The selection stands out from the competition. Yes, the prices are a bit higher than average. But considering the overall package, the extra cost was well spent. We'd be happy to come back.

We came here twice today because we loved it and enjoyed it so much! The staff was super friendly too – shoutout to the waiter with the barcode ;)

The starter was served with the main course, even though we ordered an aperitif and a bottle of wine for two. When pouring the wine, my wife's glass was spilled... the food was unfortunately absolutely terrible... Venison goulash 25.80 5 pieces of meat with 5 mushrooms... my roulade was just like Grandma's... so my grandma could cook... hence my rating...

We immediately felt at home as a family – delicious, friendly, and absolutely recommendable.

Great food, great atmosphere, and super, super service. Lara was absolutely fantastic! Thank you for everything, we'll definitely be back! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Delicious food and friendly, attentive service. The ambiance is very pleasant.

The location is really chic, although I found the tables a bit small and cheap. The service was rather inattentive, but the food was absolutely excellent!

The "Prickelbar" is truly a highlight. Fantastic! Special mention goes to the friendly service team, especially our waitress Lara and the lady who seated us. Next time, we want to try the food too!

The ambiance is very nice. Unfortunately, the beer wasn't cold, and the food wasn't good. The tarte flambée batter wasn't crispy. There's still room to improve that...

Five of us went there for breakfast. And we were all thrilled. Very creative and delicious options on offer, thoroughly enjoyable. Whether vegetarian or omnivore, everyone was satisfied. The service was fast, friendly, and competent. We'll be back.

Great location with a modern, cozy ambiance – and all in the city center! The courtyard is great in nice weather, but the interior is also very stylish. The creative menu surprises with unusual dishes, especially the seasonal menu – very sophisticated, something you won't find everywhere else (like a melon and feta salad). Extra tip: definitely try the homemade eggnog, as an aperitif or to finish your meal – yummy! Prices aren't exactly cheap for the portions, though. Still, a definite recommendation!

A solid lunch, as Swabians say: Frikadelle with potato salad for €12. ... But somehow nothing sensational either: the sauce was presumably from a packet, and the 20-minute wait for lunch was rather long. The outdoor seating in the courtyard is pleasant, but (despite it being August) quite shady. The food was okay, but nothing exceptional, and including a drink (€12 + €5), it wasn't particularly cheap either. In summary: nice place, but it's not an insider tip.

Very nice ambiance and the food was excellent, all very fresh and attractively presented. Unfortunately, we didn't find the service so good. We were almost the only ones sitting inside the restaurant. At times, there were five employees standing behind the counter. No one even asked if we wanted anything else to drink, let alone looked in our direction to call someone over to order. One waiter, when our empty plates were standing there, said he'd be right there. This took even longer, and even then, no one asked if we wanted anything else. What a shame! The food and the feel-good factor of the restaurant were highly recommended.

Beautifully and comfortably furnished, the service was very friendly and attentive, and the food was super delicious. I felt completely at home :) I'd love to come back soon ♡♡♡

friendly service, beautiful courtyard and the breakfast was also great

On Saturday evening, we went to dinner with our company at the Wilma Wunder restaurant in the beautiful courtyard. The restaurant offers excellent value for money, with large portions for fair prices and fair production conditions. We only found the price of soft drinks a bit too high at €4.90. Our friendly waitress, Lara, rounded off the evening perfectly.

A very nice restaurant centrally located on Karlsruhe's market square. Friendly staff and excellent service. Especially in summer, the courtyard is quiet and pleasant to sit in thanks to the shady location. I highly recommend the house lemonades, as they are delicious. The prices are absolutely reasonable.

Wilma's Wunder is truly a small miracle. I'm always on the lookout for new restaurants and was pleasantly surprised. I'm a vegetarian myself and also lactose intolerant, and I found what I was looking for. I prefer smaller menus and restaurants that don't overly offer a wide variety. The food was truly delicious. The prices are on the higher side, though. Still, I'll be keen to stop by again every now and then ☺️

in the evening pleasant atmosphere, good lighting and music

Good and tasty food, big portion! Nice and very kind staff!

A very nice restaurant, outdoor seating, and attentive, friendly service. I didn't think the food was that good. Cream sauces need cream, but this one was far from it. The Pina Colada tasted good. However, filling a glass to the brim with crushed ice and filling the gaps with cocktails was beyond words for the price. It was still a great evening in a lovely atmosphere.

It's always a pleasure to come here. The ambiance is fantastic. The service was excellent at the beginning of our visit, but as it got busier, it slowed down, and we sat for a while with empty glasses. The menu has something for everyone, and everything is delicious. We'll definitely be back.

I had lunch. The food was delicious, and the service was very quick and attentive. I had a great seat overlooking the market square. There's also an inner courtyard. Everything was very cozy. The price was great, too! I'd go back anytime I'm in Karlsruhe.

We had very good Caesar salads. The atmosphere was very pleasant and the decor very pretty. It's a good place for lunch with friends.

For me, it's a must on every visit to Karlsruhe. Great atmosphere, whether at the front on the bustling market square or a more quiet spot in the courtyard or inside. A beautifully designed restaurant, attentive and hard-working service, and the kitchen knows what it's doing!

Yesterday, I had dinner with my family. Two of us are gluten intolerant. Our friendly server, Lara, was able to advise us excellently, and we didn't feel unwelcome or inconvenient, as is the case in many restaurants with allergies. The prices are a bit higher, but the service, ambiance, and quality make up for it.

The breakfast tasted okay, but was completely overpriced. At the bakery, I eat much better as a couple, and more as a couple, than I would eat alone there.

I drank soda and ate fries. There was nothing to complain about. It's a nice place to sit and chat. The service is friendly and comes when you call. 🙃 Thanks.

We went to Wilma's for breakfast, and even though it was full, we were fine without a reservation. Our waitress, Lara, was super attentive and on the ball. The food was incredibly delicious, and we generally felt very comfortable.

We met for breakfast on Sunday morning and received very warm welcome from our waitress, Lara. The breakfast was absolutely delicious; we had the pancakes and the "durchstarter" (sweet starter). We'll be back!

A very nice restaurant and bar. Friendly service with pleasant waitresses. The food is highly recommended. It tastes good, and you can tell the chef knows his or her craft. We were in Karlsruhe for two days and only ate here because it was delicious. Prices are absolutely reasonable. If you're in Karlsruhe, eat here. By the way, they also serve good cakes.

I'm sitting outside on the terrace and actually want to order lunch 4 (breaded fish with potato salad). The server confidently ignores me and continues to set up various menus for all the unoccupied tables. Oh well. Bye.

Very good food and friendly staff. In summer, it's a great place to sit outside.

This was our first time here and we enjoyed lunch. It was really very good. It was odd that the salad was served after the main course. 🤔We also found the drink prices to be far too high. We would have liked to have a glass of wine with it, but at €7.90 or even €8.90 for a 0.2 l, we decided against it. It's a shame.

Excellent vegan schnitzel, desserts, drinks. The vibe and service are top notch too.

No pistachio mc Fleury, so I'm very disappointed

We celebrated a friend's birthday and were thrilled with the friendly service. The food was delicious and the selection was huge.

Nice service, pleasant atmosphere and very good food, I'll be happy to come back.. 😊

Everything's just right here, even if the access is still under construction: it has a feel-good atmosphere! Modern, appealing design, attentive service, a good, affordable lunch menu with a selection Monday-Friday from 11:30 a.m. with the option of salad and a drink. A very good concept. Unfortunately, the restroom has stairs, making it unsuitable for people with disabilities.

Service super friendly and competent ☺️

Lunch: Fitness noodles: If we could, we'd give all three 0 stars. All three plates had different toppings—ranging from lots of to barely any vegetable chips. The noodles and sauce tasted somewhere between salty and sour. None of us could eat it all. Soda? Way too sweet. Service was okay, but we didn't really want to know what we didn't like. It's probably not our fault that the food was a "never again" for us. A shame.

Price/performance ratio is terrible, sorry if you have to have breakfast again after breakfast, that's a no-go.
