Wirtshaus zum Nepomuk in Heidelberg

A wonderful restaurant with pleasant service, a fine selection of high-quality traditional cuisine, and a chic, rustic ambiance, plus a prime location with an outdoor terrace. Thank you very much, we'll be back.

Delighted with our evening meal. Rich, tasty food in an environment that still feels welcoming inside the restaurant. Next level up compared to restaurants in the main Heidelberg streets. Friendly staff that are helpful but discreet and respectful. Worth your time and money. In addition, we stayed upstairs in the Hotel Zur Alten Brucke. Beautiful room with views and central to all local sites.

Be sure to stop by and let yourself be pampered. The food is truly top-notch, the service unbeatable, and it's all rounded off by a cozy beer garden or courtyard. Advance reservations are essential. It's truly worth it. Our highlight in Heidelberg.

Great staff, especially the nice waiter! Unfortunately, the manager or supervisor (I couldn't tell which one he was) doesn't treat his staff appropriately. Small talk isn't allowed, and we as guests were asked not to distract the staff from their work. Thank you, we won't be back. We don't pay anyone who doesn't appreciate their staff.

Attention! Check the bill, I added two espressos! The waiter and waitress were extremely unfriendly, the asparagus was hard, but after complaining, the food was good. It used to be a great restaurant, but now you have to endure unfriendly and unaccommodating treatment, and you're obviously being ripped off!

The best place for dinner in Heidelberg's old town! I highly recommend it – everything was fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. The service was of a very high standard; we felt welcome and well looked after. Thank you for a great evening!

Simply the best restaurant in Heidelberg: in the heart of the Old Town, an oasis of coziness in a magnificent ambiance. They offer classic traditional delicacies such as Maultaschen (swabian ravioli) with fresh vegetables, Käsespätzle (cheese spaetzle), lentils, and Saumagen (sausage), as well as delicious house specialties such as Tafelspitz (boiled beef) and a delicious beef roulade. An excellent selection of fine wines and desserts completes the experience.

The meal was delicious! The first meal I had while visiting Germany with Huayou Travel was unforgettable~~

Very unfriendly and rude, the water tastes.

The food was excellent. Unfortunately, we found the service to be very unfriendly. He seemed to be under a lot of time pressure (we had a slot from 6-7:45 p.m.), and he passed this time on to us without hesitation. It was incredibly unpleasant. We hardly dared to comment or order anything.

Nice restaurant, friendly service, good food. Prices are a bit on the high side.

Very good regional restaurant. Vegetarian dishes are also available.

The food is terrible, the rest is mediocre, I don't understand where the establishment's rating came from

Cozy, appealing ambiance. Very friendly service. Delicious food. Great location, right next to the old bridge. Highly recommended.

Stylish ambience. Delicious asparagus soup and crème brûlée.

I'm not really a big pork fan. But this place convinced me otherwise. This was the best roast I've ever eaten. So tender and with a delicious gravy. The service was incredibly friendly and attentive! Highly recommended!

First of all, we didn't eat there and are only rating the service. We were in Heidelberg on the first weekend of May and were looking for a nice restaurant in the early evening. On Friday, all the outside seating was taken, and we were advised to try again in 30 minutes, even though a table had just become available. 30 minutes later, unfortunately, there was still no space available; it can happen. On Saturday, we arrived a little before opening at 6 p.m. and politely asked the employee there (after assuring them if we could disturb them for a moment - which they said yes) whether a reservation was possible or whether we should arrive right at opening at 6 p.m. or something similar to get a table, as we really wanted to eat there. However, we were then treated with such arrogance and condescension that I haven't often experienced in a restaurant. The employee very condescendingly informed us that they would fill the tables without us and that they weren't accepting reservations. He couldn't tell us how we could get a table; if he could see the future, he'd have a different job. All of this was said in a tone that made you feel like a complete idiot. It's great that the restaurant is filling up, but can't you explain matter-of-factly and politely that you'd rather not make reservations and wait outside, at the bar, or wherever for free tables? Or just say that you don't have the time or inclination to answer right now? Anyone who dares to treat others in such a condescending manner should consider whether they're in the right place in the restaurant industry. We will definitely not be going back to this restaurant, and that evening we had an excellent Italian meal just around the corner with two very kind and friendly service staff.

Warmly furnished restaurant with friendly and attentive staff. The food was excellent and fresh. Dog was also allowed to be there. Thank you very much

Absolutely overpriced and not worth the price. We had two different fish dishes, which weren't exactly cheap, and unfortunately in both cases the fish was too dry. I also find it outrageous to charge €7 for an open carafe of still water.

Fantastic experience. Perfectly situated near the main bridge, this establishment has the qualities of a local institution. Fantastic indoor and outdoor areas, the ambience is busy without being too loud or chaotic. I ordered the rolled beef which was perfectly cooked, juicy and tender, wonderfully seasoned and complemented by the red wine jus on a bed of mashed potatoes. Table service was friendly, attentive and helpful. They provided recommendations on request and made sure to check in to see if I needed anything.

Tuvimos la cena de despedida de nuestra gira en grupo aquí, y qué experiencia tan magnífica. El servicio y la comida eran excelentes. Gran ambiente en el restaurante. La mejor comida de todo el viaje. Nuestro guía a pie para ese día estaba muy impresionado de que fuéramos aquí, y les dio altas calificaciones también! Muy recomendable para una cena muy agradable.

Ein sehr sehr schönes und vor allem leckeres Restaurant. Mit sehr viel Raffinesse wurde das Essen zu bereitet und es hat auch sehr gut geschmeckt. Was uns va gut gefallen hat, das Produkte aus der Region verwendet wurden! Sowohl der Fisch, das Fleisch und das Gemüse und auch auf Saisonale Produkte wie jetzt Spargel wurde Wert gelegt! Sehr zu empfehlen Plus sehr motiviertes Personal !!!

Service was very friendly and prompt, food was excellent. Goes well with children (children's menu)

I had a good meal in the Nepumuk restaurant.  The beef roulade and the side dish were hot and the portion was rather large and very tasty. The atmosphere is inviting and cozy. The menu offers a large selection of dishes.  The service was attentive and friendly. I would like to eat there again.

Nice restaurant with a beer garden and good food

Super delicious food! Friendly service was always there when you needed something. Lovingly decorated atmosphere. We had a wonderful evening!!! Always happy!!!

Simple and efficient,big choice of wines and we really had the impression we were in Germany,because of the decor inside and outside.

Alles Mittelmass - ausser den Preisen, die sind weit oben angesiedelt. Ein paniertes Schnitzelchen mit (kalten) Bratkartoffeln für € 24.-- hat die Obergrenze erreicht. Das gilt auch für den sehr guten Ziegelstein, bei dem man jede Sättigungsbeilage (Kartoffeln € 8.--) extra bestellen muss. Da gibt es in allernächster Nähe Besseres. Nett und aufmerksam sind die Mitarbeiter.

Very tasty food and great service!

The waiters are very welcoming. But the prices a little too expensive.

We had a very nice evening. The food was very tasty and the service was super nice. Everything was perfect!

Very tasty food right on the old bridge. Nice terrace and friendly staff. Always happy. 🥰

Highly recommended. Incredibly delicious food and very kind, attentive service.

Unfortunately the service is a bit chaotic, but everyone is very nice. The reservation was for 1:45h and this was communicated several times. This makes the visit feel a bit rushed. The food (roulade) was great, the pasta was a bit tasteless unfortunately. When ordering drinks, the service didn't really know what you wanted, even though it was written out on the menu. Seemed a bit strange to us. All in all, a solid visit, but we wouldn't go again.

Can we recommend it if n you are in Heidelberg, the atmosphere is great

Traditional and refined German dining, very nice ambiance

Not sufficient for a civil wedding. Contact was great and uncomplicated, high praise. The food in the restaurant was also very good at a small spontaneous rehearsal dinner. Unfortunately there was no trace of the good quality on the day of the wedding. Portions small, gnocchi for roast turkey partly burnt and just quickly fried hot. After the salad, soup and main course we were still a bit hungry. There is usually more. The service, I think the main waiter, was again fantastic and really had a blast! did an excellent job!! Rooms for overnight stays are quite expensive, some with IKEA interior furnishings such as lamps etc... You probably pay mainly for the location. Too bad.

Exquisite “home cooking” in a cozy atmosphere with extremely friendly and patient service. We are happy to have chosen this fine yet down-to-earth restaurant and will be happy to come back.

The Nepomuk is a solidly good restaurant in a prime location below the castle and directly on the Neckar in Heidelberg. Excellent food is served in a cozy atmosphere. The service could be a little more relaxed, especially when the restaurant is full on a Saturday evening.

In 2024 we also spent our end of the year at the Wirtshaus zum Nepomuk and were very excited again. The New Year's Eve dinner menu was once again very well put together, absolutely delicious, the service was again very accommodating and the atmosphere was just lovely and cozy. Very tasteful ambience, great food and excellent service. This sums up our New Year's Eve dinner in the Nepomuk inn at the old bridge. The evening on the last day of the year left nothing to be desired for us. Always my pleasure.

The service staff and kitchen crew deserve a high level of gratitude, appreciation and recognition for their commitment. The trout dish as a whole is of the best quality and the preparation is at a star level.

A nice place to stay. Food was good. However, given the prices, I was hoping for a very good one. The service was 1a.

Nepomuk ist leider Nepp Ihr werdet etwas linkisch gefragt, ob ihr auch Brot wollt. Was selbstverständlich ist, kostet hier 3,90 Euro pro Person. 0,25 Wasser gibt es nicht mehr, sondern 0,5 aus dem Wasserhahn. Die Speisen sind überteuert aber gut (Croutons sind selbst gemacht !). Der Service ist freundlich, aber zu aufdringlich (oft: wollt ihr noch etwas bestellen). Stephan

We had a very nice evening with delicious food, very friendly service and all in a great atmosphere. Thank you!!! We really liked it!

The food and service were excellent, the onion roast was a poem. Thank you for the lovely evening with you.

Food very good. Service tried hard, but seems fake. Definitely expandable. From 9 p.m. onwards, unoccupied tables were covered, cleaned, etc. This brings unrest into the restaurant and you get the impression that you have to leave. Maybe more appearance than reality. It's a shame actually.

The food is not only a visual highlight, but also impresses with its excellent taste. The dishes are perfectly seasoned and are always served hot. The restaurant is characterized by its loving furnishings. The prices are a little higher, but definitely justified. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful.

Normal restaurant with some disappointments. I was there with my companion on December 25th and 28th, 2024. The starter was quite good (salmon tartare)...but way too overpriced for this small amount (16€). The pumpkin cream soup was quite good, but there was a nasty layer of cream or sour cream on top. I have never been served anything like this before. After the starter I suddenly had no cutlery left; It can't be acceptable that I have to use the same cutlery for the main course in a restaurant as for the starter?!? If you order bitter lemon, you get this strange "Thomas Henry" instead, which tastes very bland: €3.90 for 0.2 L: Hallelujah (no comparison to the original from "Schweppes")! But even better: when I wanted to order the second ginger ale on the second visit to the restaurant, the waitress said that I would get a new lime. This note was completely unnecessary as it is a given. Or does she really want to pour the second ginger ale into the old glass with the old lime? The schnitzel wasn't bad, but a bit dry...as were the fried potatoes. The small schnitzel costs €24: that's just shameless! The beef roulade was ok, but too dry both times. The red cabbage was very tasty the first time...but too tough the second time. The first time, each of us got a bowl of red cabbage with the main course... the second time, the two of us only got one bowl: what else can you call that other than "withholding benefits"? For this price range you can expect an amuse bouche in this restaurant, but you don't have to. That's why I found it very strange that the waiter "pushed" it onto all customers (not just us): €3.90 for some bread and spread. And it gives the impression that this is somehow “part of” eating; Which is why guests usually don't ask if it costs extra, but often say "yes". In general, the price-performance ratio is not at all in balance. The chocolate cake was grossly overpriced at €15 for its small quantity. I get a first-class “Zuppa inglese” in a much larger quantity for just €6. The seats have a narrow, thin and very ugly gray "felt covering"...instead of comfortable and beautiful seat cushions: that doesn't fit at all with the otherwise beautiful ambience and the great location on the Old Bridge. The crampedness in this restaurant was very unpleasant: apparently every square centimeter is used there to make more profit... but as a customer you have to squeeze past the tables, chairs and customers to get to the bathroom: that's all I know from pubs and discos! What struck me as a very negative thing there was that it was extremely loud due to very noisy women and men calling, laughing and screaming: a restaurant is not a cemetery... but it is also not a pub and certainly not a football stadium. It should be the duty of restaurant management to remind certain individuals of a minimum level of civility. Because of all the yelling and screaming, I found it difficult to have a conversation with my companion and the stay turned out to be "stressful". An acquaintance of my companion also left the restaurant early because she was closest to the “Brüll table”. The service was overall acceptable, nothing special. Because of all these incidents, it's not even enough for two stars. It's a shame...because the restaurant could be much better if it wanted to... Comments on the reaction to my review: I simply described what I experienced truthfully. The defiant answer with several people “in Cc” automatically “disqualifies” the author. Thank you also for your “mental health”: at least it was enough for two university degrees. Mr. Author also mixes up several facts, so let's leave it at that!

Normales Restaurant mit einigen Enttäuschungen. Ich war mit meiner Begleitung am 25. und 28. Dezember 2024 dort. Die Vorspeise war recht gut (Lachs-Tartar)...aber viel zu überteuert für diese geringe Menge (16 €). Die Kürbiscreme-Suppe war zwar recht gut, aber obendrauf war eine garstige Sahne- oder Schmand-Schicht. So etwas habe ich bis dato noch nicht serviert bekommen. Nach der Vorspeise hatte ich plötzlich kein Besteck mehr; es kann doch nicht angehen, dass ich in einem Restaurant für den Hauptgang dasselbe Besteck benutzen muss wie für die Vorspeise?!? Wenn man Bitter Lemon bestellt, bekommt man stattdessen diesen komischen "Thomas Henry", der sehr fade schmeckt: 3,90 € für 0,2 L: Halleluja (kein Vergleich zum Original von "Schweppes")! Aber noch besser: als ich beim zweiten Restaurant-Besuch den zweiten Ginger Ale bestellen wollte, meinte die Bedienung, dass ich eine neue Limette bekommen würde. Dieser Hinweis war völlig unnötig, da es eine Selbstverständlichkeit ist. Oder möchte sie etwa wahren Ernstes den zweiten Ginger Ale in das alte Glas mit der alten Limette kippen? Das Schnitzel war nicht schlecht, aber etwas trocken...ebenso die Bratkartoffeln. Die Rinderroulade war in Ordnung, aber beide Male zu trocken. Der Rotkohl war beim ersten Mal sehr lecker...aber beim zweiten Male zu zäh. Beim ersten Mal hat jeder von beiden zum Hauptgang ein Schälchen Rotkohl bekommen...beim zweiten Mal haben wir zu zweit nur ein Schälchen bekommen: wie kann man das anders nennen als "Vorenthaltung von Leistungen"? Für diese Preisklasse kann man in diesem Restaurant ein Amuse Bouche erwarten, muss man aber nicht. Gerade daher fand ich es sehr befremdlich, dass es vom Kellner allen Kunden "aufgeschwatzt" wurde (nicht nur bei uns): 3,90 € für etwas Brot und Aufstrich. Und es wird dabei der Anschein erweckt, als ob das irgendwie zum Essen "dazu gehören" würde; weswegen die Gäste idR nicht fragen, ob es extra kostet, sondern oft "ja" sagen. Überhaupt ist das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis ganz und gar nicht im Gleichgewicht. Das Schokoküchlein war für seine geringe Menge mit 15 € maßlos überteuert. Da bekomme ich für nur 6 € eine erstklassige "Zuppa inglese" in viel größerer Menge. Die Sitze sind mit einem schmalen, dünnen und sehr hässlichen, grauen "Filzbelag" versehen...anstatt mit bequemen und schönen Sitzkissen: das passt überhaupt nicht zum ansonsten schönen Ambiente und der tollen Lage an der Alten Brücke. Sehr unangenehm war die Enge in diesem Restaurant: anscheinend wird dort jeder Quadratzentimeter genutzt, um mehr Profit zu machen...dafür aber muss man sich als Kunde durch die Tische und Stühle quetschen, um in's Bad zu gelangen: das kenne ich nur von Kneipen und Discotheken! Was mir dort sehr negativ aufgefallen ist: es war extrem laut aufgrund sehr geräuschvoll rufender, lachender und schreiender Frauen und Männer: ein Restaurant ist zwar kein Friedhof...es ist aber auch keine Kneipe und schon gar nicht ein Fußballstadion. Es sollte zur Pflicht der Restaurant-Leitung gehören, gewisse Individuen auf ein Mindestmaß an gesittetem Verhalten hinzuweisen. Vor lauter Gegröhle und Gebrülle habe ich mich mit meiner Begleitung nur schwerlich unterhalten können und der Aufenthalt gestaltete sich als "stressig". Auch eine Bekannte meiner Begleitung hat das Restaurant frühzeitig verlassen, weil sie dem "Brüll-Tisch" am nächsten war. Die Bedienung war insgesamt akzeptabel, nichts Besonderes. Aufgrund all' dieser Vorfälle reicht es nicht einmal für zwei Sterne. Schade...denn das Restaurant könnte deutlich besser sein, es wollte denn...

The Nepomuk restaurant impresses across the board. The food was excellent: the onion roast was fried to perfection, the spaetzle with extra sauce was a real treat, and the rump steak was medium rare. What was particularly impressive was the great wine selection, which perfectly rounded off the culinary experience. The ambience of the restaurant was also beautiful – stylish and cozy. The friendly and attentive staff made sure that you feel completely comfortable. Although the restaurant is in an upscale price range, the quality of the food, the beautiful ambience and the great location justify this somewhat.

The service was good and the taste was good. The most important thing is that I actually ate organic cauliflower in Heidelberg. I was amazed. Recommended

Very good restaurant with delicious food and very good, friendly staff.

Maravilloso ambiente con un servicio atento. Exactamente lo que esperaba. Pedí el filete de un minuto y fue increíble, al igual que el chucrut y los lados; mi esposo encontró el filete más grande no tan tierno, lo que fue decepcionante, pero en general volvería. Las porciones son bastante grandes.

On June 9th, 2024 I was at the Wirthaus zum Nepomuk. A traditional German restaurant whose ambience takes you to Bavaria. Somehow this inn gives me the feeling of being a hiker taking a break at an alpine pasture. At Nepomuk I had a beef roulade with mustard, cucumbers, onions and bacon and mashed potatoes. For dessert, homemade crème brûlée with the finest Tahitian vanilla. First the main course. The beef roulade surprised me a lot, I had very high expectations, especially because my mother always made beef roulades. The Nepomuk even exceeded my expectations, the meat was juicy, tender and spicy, the sauce was great and also spicy. The mashed potatoes and red cabbage were perfect to round everything off and pick up the flavor from the roulade and sauce. This beef roulade is very close to my mother's, so an absolute recommendation. Now let's come to dessert, the crème brûlée had a wonderful crust, inside there was a vanilla cream, which for me was currently the tastiest vanilla cream that I have ever had in a crème brûlée. The fruits complemented the sweetness well with their acidity. The drink was a cocktail, unfortunately I can't remember the exact name, it was also really good and tasted like lemon. In addition, alcohol can only be perceived discreetly. I would like to briefly praise the service, there was once a problem that one of my orders was forgotten. The owner solved this very kindly and made us very happy with an explanation and a schnapps. I also had a very pleasant conversation with our waiter when paying.

We had a wonderful evening, the food and service are really a 10/10. It's definitely worth a visit.

posto belissimo servizio super, cucina di un livelllo superiore. La trota era eccezionale, cotta perfettamente e senza lische

Hicimos una reserva aquí a tiempo. Llegó a los 18. 30 en lunes - noche. En 30 minutos el resto estaba lleno! Servicio amable. Buena cocina alemana. Como dicen aquí: gut bürgerliche Küche. Bonito interior. En el exterior tienen una ‘Jagdhütte’ para la temporada.

The food was really good, but the unprofessional reception and dispassionate service had a lasting impact on the overall picture. Therefore unfortunately only one star.

I had the pleasure of dining at Wirtshaus zum Nepomuk in Heidelberg, and it was a truly great experience. The restaurant offers a cozy atmosphere with a touch of traditional charm, perfectly complementing the historic surroundings. The food was exceptional—each dish was beautifully prepared, showcasing fresh ingredients and authentic flavors. A special thank you to Aya and Life, whose kindness and excellent service made the evening even more enjoyable. They were attentive, warm, and made sure we felt right at home. Their dedication truly enhanced the experience. I highly recommend Wirtshaus zum Nepomuk to anyone visiting Heidelberg. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, this is a place worth visiting for delicious food, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere.

We were here for dinner on Sunday evening. The roulade with mashed potatoes was outstanding, the lentils with spaetzle and the schnitzel were also great. Our waiter was very attentive and there was no wait even though the restaurant was busy. The ambience is very nice, only the bench is a bit uncomfortable, but there are plenty of cushions. We will definitely come back and recommend the restaurant for every visit to Heidelberg.

Very tasty food, courteous staff, gladly again

Das Ambiente ist sehr schön, für Touristen bestimmt ein Hingucker. Das Essen war im Gegensatz zum Ambiente einfach schlecht. Die trockene Ente sah grau aus und war zäh. Die Gnocchi mit Kürbis eine Pampe ohne Geschmack, die wenigen winzigen Kürbiswürfel wurden von der ungekochten Tomate verwässert...und der trockene Salat auf dem ganzen Essen verdeckte die Speise . Ich habe mir Olivenöl bringen lassen. Das Risotto mit Lachsforelle schwamm in einer Soße was dem Fisch gut tat, der war nämlich trocken usw. Der Höhepunkt war aber ein Kellner der dreist und überheblich bei der Bestellungsaufnahme war. Wir kommen mit Freunden die in Heidelberg zu Besuch sind bestimmt nicht mehr hier her.

We've been there several times and it's always excellent. Ordered boiled beef and beef roulade yesterday. Both so tender that we didn't need a knife😊 Very tasty and the service was great too!

Wer in Heidelberg GUT Essen gehen möchte ist im Restaurant Nepomuk genau an der richtigen Adresse. Wir waren mit Geschäftskunden zu 8 Personen vor Ort und hatten einen fantastischen, kulinarischen Abend. Besonders hervorheben möchte ich den Service!! Tolles Team - aufmerksam, humorvoll und dabei IMMER freundlich. Ein nachhaltig Guter Abend !

Getting a beer three quarters of an hour before work was extremely difficult. We were left standing for 10 minutes (possibly in the hope that we would leave again), then the boss had to be fetched and we were finally placed outside. Not a nice experience (even if the waiter tried to explain/excuse it when asked... - "the tables had already been cleaned...")

A quaint location, very nice service and the food was really tasty 😋

Never ever again!!! Especially to all Indians never ever set foot into this racist restaurant. I was visiting Heidelberg and something unlawful and unjust happened. I entered the restaurant and asked the Chef for a table. Getting a table always goes through the main Chef/Owner of the restaurant. Renowned for its Bavarian German cuisine and housed in a building in the historic old down established in 1703, you expect to experience the rich history through your culinary senses. Food is for everyone they say. Does it really check the race you belong to? No, it does not. But apparently it does for the Chef of this restaurant. He literally told me it’s “invite only for the guests staying at the restaurant”. I found it strange the way he said it because it wasn’t stated anywhere that’s it’s invite only and I left and ate at a Thai restaurant next door and asked the waitress there who was kind and polite. She told me there are no reservations at the German restaurant. I quickly looked up trip advisor reviews and realized this place has a long history of being racist. At this point it dawned on me that he “discriminated” against me as I was an Indian and didn’t want me to be seated at his restaurant. This is against the German law and anywhere in the world. A medieval restaurant in a medieval city.. At this point I was furious and I went back to restaurant after having my dinner at the Thai restaurant, to talk to the loser chef. I asked him I didn’t find any information anywhere that stated it’s for invited guests only. He pretended not to hear me, I restated that he intentionally discriminated me based on my race to not enter the restaurant. He tried to spin it saying he thought I was asking to use the restroom. Why would anyone ask for a table, to use the restroom? A blatant lie by the Chef, ridiculous! I told him at a time when an Indian/Black American is going to be America’s President you have the race card being used to deny entry to dine at a restaurant to individuals from a specific race, taking us back to the days of Bussing exclusion. While the US has moved so far beyond race in the true sense, you see a small town that looks beautiful on the outside having a 1000 year history with a filthy restaurant beautiful on the outside but sick on the inside. Racism is a disease and we as a society need to fight it everyday until we get equality in the true sense which is only idealistic at this points I highly recommend no Indian, step foot into this restaurant ever!

We were able to celebrate our wedding in September 2024 at the Wirtshaus zum Nepomuk. We and, without exception, all of the guests at the wedding were absolutely thrilled by the atmosphere, the warm hospitality of the service team and the incredible food that was created especially for us. The exclusively vegetarian menu, at our request, was the absolute highlight of the day. Without a doubt one of the best restaurants in Heidelberg. Absolute recommendation from us!

Really great food, great service

I didn't make a dinner reservation and ended up eating outside. Even though it was outside, the heater was on so I was able to eat warmly! I was impressed by the staff's careful consideration^^ The food I ordered was traditional German food, not something you would normally eat, so it was delicious and very satisfying!! Thank you to all the staff for being kind and pleasant and allowing me to have a happy evening during my trip🩷

a wonderful evening with a good friend with great wine, delicious food and an authentic host, thank you Alexander, we will be back

The food was delicious. The service was attentive and friendly. We felt comfortable and were able to spend a lovely evening there. We can highly recommend the inn.

Eher ein Gut als ein Befriedigend. Aber bei Tripadvisor müssten die Bewertungsabstände dringend überarbeitet werden!!! Auf ein "Befriedigend" kann kein "Sehr Gut" folgen. Die Reservierung klappte. Haben im Außenbereich gegessen. Tafelspitz, eher guter Durchschnitt, aber ein sehr gutes Schweinerückensteacks in einer tollen Rahmsosse und tatsächlich hausgemachten Spätzle. Aufmerksamer Service. Und dann doch ein kulinarischer Tiefschlag. Auf die berechtigte Kritik, dass der Weißwein zu warm ist, wurden uns Eiswürfel angeboten. Daran merkte man dann doch, dass sich zuviele Amerikaner in Heidelberg tummeln. Einem Mitteleuropäer sollte man so etwas nicht anbieten, sondern einen richtig gekühlten Wein - gerade in dieser Gegend.

Excellent food. Super friendly staff and a great location. We would love to come back! Thank you!

Very tasty, fresh food. Friendly and courteous staff. We would love to come back!

Very tasty but not cheap and definitely worth the price. The location is unique and you also pay for it. I recommend the whole trout with potatoes.

Very nice place with delicious traditional German food. Nice quality, excellent service. Nice place too. Great food.

Traditionel tysk mad i hyggelige omgivelser, en god oplevelse med flinke tjenere og et godt varieret menukort, dog kun på tysk

Very unfriendly staff. We just wanted to drink something, Aperol Spritz for €9.50 was questionable, the same Aperol costs €6.50 one street further. Since we didn't order anything to eat, we were supposed to leave after 20 minutes - there was no mention beforehand that we had to order food to stay there.

Very good restaurant with very nice and polite service.

Mitten in der Altstadt und trotzdem ruhig in der Außengastronomie. Aufmerksame Bedienung, tolle Hauptgerichte, leckerer Nachtisch. Einziger Kritikpunkt das Gericht mit Schweinefilet war etwas zu klein bemessen.

Very nice restaurant with great food. The location is central, the courtyard is very cozy, the service was super friendly and the quality of the food was top. Thank you for the lovely evening and we'll be happy to come back when we're nearby :-)

Full points...we can absolutely recommend...everything is perfect here, very nice staff, the food is very tasty and a great selection. great atmosphere...we will definitely come back

Service ******. Ambiente ****** Essen ****** …. Unbedingt besuchen! Reservieren! Danke für den schönen Abend Wir kommen wieder!!

Cannon cake. Cobblestone. A bit boring to sit in the aisle. High price.

Die Begrüßung war ausgesprochen freundlich. Die Stimmung / Atmosphäre fröhlich und der Service sehr aufmerksam und umsichtig. Die Speisekarte bot für jeden Geschmack die entsprechenden Speisen und Getränke. Auch hier findet der Gast durchaus regionale Küche. Unsere Gerichte kamen sehr schön angerichtet an den Tisch und haben köstlich geschmeckt. Dank an die Küche. Die Location ist thematisch und konsequent mit einem sehr guten Geschmack dekoriert. Überall findet das Auge etwas, ohne dass das Gesamtbild überladen wird. Das Restaurant hat eine tolle Lage direkt an der alten Brücke und bietet bei schönem Wetter einen Außenbereich. Zum Altstadtkern bzw. der Fußgängerzone sind es nur wenige Gehminuten.

Outside was cold (no heaters), inside too noisy to chat.

Highly recommended, we will be back

Overall, very nice restaurant: we reserved a table outside. Service first class, and the food and wine were very tasty.

Absolutely stupendous food and friendly service. We went here as we read good reviews about authentic, traditional food and we were not disappointed. My husband and I had different soups, he had salmon trout on a bed of lentils with Dijon mustard based dressing, I had gone to get traditional schnitzel and it was devine. We always like to go somewhere really nice on the last night of our holiday, this wasn't the last night but I think we could be back before we go home. Forget the fast food places on the main street and squares, go to this restaurant beside the gate on the old bridge. It may be more expensive but worth every euro.

An absolute culinary highlight!!! Very friendly and attentive staff. We will be back!

We made reservations here early for our civil wedding. Unfortunately our reservation was canceled 1.5 weeks in advance. Now we're really at a loss because many restaurants won't accept short-term reservations for our group. The contact was very friendly, but unfortunately it's a really stupid situation for us.

Unfortunately, a group cancellation was made at very short notice. Since we relied on the firm commitment here, we now have no alternative that can be reserved. This is very annoying and could have been avoided if either it had been canceled earlier or the reservation had not been confirmed in the first place...

You're always a little suspicious when you go to a restaurant in a tourist hot spot... In this one the scouting was good and the worry was completely unnecessary! A very successful meal in an absolutely professional context. Nothing has been left to chance here. Beautiful, modern, historical furnishings, good lighting, enough kitsch to make it comfortable. Menu designed so that everyone can find something, wine list also suitable for lovers; Prices in an acceptable range. Service professional and friendly. House-style snails Spicy, not too garlicky, original with the mushrooms Tafelspitz broth Inserts good, broth good, almost a little too concentrated Roast beef with onions Two thin slices, very unusual but beautifully tender; Sauce strong, spaetzle comme il faut. Onions braised until very soft; I prefer them crispy. Boneless trout Properly fried, actually boneless, a bit plain. Pinot Blanc and dry Riesling in the bar are absolutely fine; As expected, the half bottle of Cuvee Anna from Thomas Seeger was a joy! Thank you Food 13/20

Very good restaurant. We had lentils with spaetzle and Vienna sausages and gnochi stuffed with spinach and ricotta and a side salad. Our dog was immediately given a large bowl of water. Very good service and very friendly staff. Very romantic. Definitely a recommendation!

Only 2 stars for the food, as points are deducted for price, friendliness and service. When we arrived at the restaurant we were not greeted in a friendly manner, rather arrogantly and like supplicants. Before a guest is allowed to enter the guest room, they must remain in front of the door until the manager in the guest room has checked whether the guests have reserved. Afterwards, entry into the guest room is granted. We would recommend rethinking the current customer reception concept. For a more customer-friendly approach, the list of names could, for example, be available outside at the reception. The check-in process at the restaurant door will be familiar to regular customers, but will seem rather strange to new guests. The time slots that had to be adhered to created the feeling of feeding in chords. We didn't feel comfortable or welcome. We won't come a second time. Despite the fact that we didn't receive any appreciation from the entire staff, we gave an above-average tip. There was no thanks for the tip! Apparently we are not the only guests with such experiences. We can therefore understand the other negative reviews in various review portals.

Unfortunately, when we arrived we weren't greeted as warmly as we expected. Instead, we had to wait in the courtyard until the manager checked our reservation. We felt unwelcome and treated condescendingly. As if we were supplicants. Unfortunately, because it was Saturday, we could only make reservations in time slots. We had the first time slot and felt rushed because of it. The service was very tense. When we wanted to place our orders one by one, we were told that we should order the starters first and then the main course. No one asked for an aperitif. It seemed as if they wanted to process us quickly. As a starter we ordered tomato soup and salad. Then the Saumagen, asparagus with schnitzel and twice the roast pork. We were satisfied with the food. The roast pork, however, was not as tender as butter as described on the menu, but rather dry. Still, overall the food was okay. The waitress seemed very stressed and had to keep restocking things quickly. This hectic pace has passed on to us. We weren't recommended dessert either. There probably wasn't enough time for that anymore. Unfortunately, the food couldn't make up for the overall poor service. Actually, the customer should be king. Unfortunately there was no sign of this. The service is not adequate for this higher priced segment. Therefore we do not recommend it.

Everything is just right at Nepomuk, here you get very tasty dishes in a very nice atmosphere. And the service is really attentive and very friendly. Thank you

Very nice restaurant with a real tavern feeling. Unfortunately the tables are a bit narrow. The food was delicious and the service staff was nice.

A very nice restaurant with excellent food and drinks. The service was excellent. We arrived just before the end of lunch and all of our wishes were fulfilled. The prices are absolutely fine.
