Zenz Wirtshaus in Mainz

Kilian is a very dedicated employee! High praise! He's very attentive. 😃

Great location, great ambiance. Dinner with a group of 39 people. Planning was very pleasant and professional from start to finish. We felt very comfortable as guests. People with disabilities are very welcome. The food, drinks, and service were excellent, with excellent communication. Special praise goes to Kilian for the excellent service throughout the evening. Wirtshaus Zenz is definitely recommended and always worth a visit.

Food is good, view is great, service is good as well and they speak very good English I recommend here

Modern decor with outdoor seating, where you sit right on the street. The service was super friendly and quick to take our order. The ordered dishes arrived promptly and were all beautifully presented and incredibly delicious. There's also a small selection for kids, and the portions are quite large.

I'm not normally a fan of system catering, but Zenz somehow manages to make you feel comfortable there - the waitresses are very attentive and friendly. The right concept in the right place - with outdoor dining in summer.

The Zenz Wirtshaus is absolutely recommended. We tried the Brizza there and loved it. The waitresses are extremely friendly and the waiting time for the food was also very short. All in all, highly recommended

Unfortunately, unfriendly service. We were immediately reprimanded just because we moved a table by 30 cm so that six of us could sit together.

The inn is located right next to Mainz main train station and can actually be easily reached from anywhere. The inside is very lovingly and rustically designed, the service is very nice and attentive. If you're looking for good, home-style cooking, you're in good hands here.

I ordered a simple cocktail (margarita) during happy hour. Since it wasn't on the menu, a 50% surcharge was charged over other cocktails despite happy hour without informing us in advance. In conversation: “you were unlucky”. Rip off.

We had the fried fish and the Wiener schnitzel, each with potato salad and cucumbers. It only took 5 minutes for the food to arrive after ordering. The veal schnitzel was tough and unfortunately so was the breading on the fish. The potato salad is supercooled. Only the beer tasted good. Therefore no recommendation, even if the interior looks very pleasant.

Simply great for waiting time at the train station, but also just because. The menu and the drinks menu are lovingly designed. Super nice service, the food was fresh and tasty, there are lovely vegan options, delicious aperitif... And the espresso is excellent too. There is also right next to the train station and space for the miserable suitcases. Big recommendation.

Very nice atmosphere and good service.

Top! Top! Top! Good food and attentive staff. We warmly recommend! Stylishly furnished, less than 10 minutes of waiting for the food - amazing! Taste and value for money are simply top!

- netter, freundlicher Empfang - Bedienung top und auf zack - sehr leckeres Essen, variabel in der Zusammenstellung - gehen auf Sonderwünsche ein - nettes Ambiente - fairer Preis

I came to eat food. The wait person was impatient and laught at me when I could not understand her at first because she was yelling truncated words at me. And since when are we using Du? Food was ok but portioned was very small.

Excellent food, decor, atmosphere and service. We had schnitzel and a Caesar salad that was exceptional. Didn’t snap a photo of the food but finished dinner with a beer and schnapps! Directly across from main train station. Open late and full bar. Don’t miss it!

Kilian is the shittiest and unfriendly guy I've experienced in my entire time in the restaurant - absolute disaster

Really very good restaurant. Reasonable prices, manageable offerings, delicious food. I would especially like to praise the friendly service (Asian appearance)! Even though we were a group of 15 people ordering food and drinks at once, she had everything under control (including her colleagues) and kept an overview! Class! We felt very comfortable and welcome! Thanks!

You have to visit the Zens in Mainz. For me one of the best places in Mainz to eat... The whole team was really friendly... The atmosphere is really nice... There are great drinks and everything cooked comes from the region... Simply delicious, stop by 😊👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😊

The asparagus with hollandaise sauce was pretty bland. But the vegan schnitzel was just amazing. Even though I knew it, I wouldn't have recognized it as a meat-free alternative based on the taste.

8.50€ for 3 dead pieces of fillet with asparagus (with 6 potatoes already 16.90€) is simply over the top. Ambience really nice, service without any real joy in the job.

On Schnitzel Day the price/performance ratio is very balanced and fair. Salad is worth considering at over 5 euros... Service was very friendly and attentive, not intrusive. Lots of people, but not too loud and you don't smell like you've come out of a frying pan after your visit.

Delicious and fresh food, very nice staff

Excellent food, friendly service and the spacious seating arrangement without too close contact with the other guests is particularly pleasant.

Today we ate another schnitzel with fried potatoes, cranberries and salad. Had a wheat beer with it. I thought the summer salad version only with leaf lettuce, especially radiccio and red beetroot cubes, was great, nothing against coleslaw and potato salad as usual, I also like to eat it. Schnitzel and fried potatoes are delicious. There are better products/suppliers when it comes to cranberry compote, but it's great that it comes with it, it's part of the schnitzel. Gladly again sometime!!!

- Great atmosphere - Good selection of drinks (especially beer) Everything came quickly, the service was almost overzealous. Unfortunately, my sauerbraten was a total failure. Very dry, hard to cut. The first time I didn't want to finish eating. I was so looking forward to a great stew. Too bad. Visually, all the dishes were appealing.

Very cozy and delicious. Fast, friendly service. Original ambience.

Nice & quick service, good recommendation, delicious food All in all a lovely evening. Only the cocktails could have used less ice.

Super tasty and special dishes. Super nice staff and special and unusual bire mixed drinks. I couldn't decide what to get because there are so many great things on offer.

Very good food, very friendly staff 👍 Absolutely centrally located right next to the train station. Delicious dishes even without meat!

Great restaurant at Mainz main station with Mainz dishes and general German food. The knuckle could have been a bit crispy but it was actually very tasty, the dumplings and the dark beer sauce were also great. We also had Raspberry Mojitos which were very tasty and strong ☺️ the waitress was super friendly. Gladly again

We had a very pleasant visit to this restaurant. The kitchen impresses with a wide range of dishes, including vegetarian options. The dishes were nice. The ambience is modern and rather very loud due to the high ceilings. Still a restaurant that we would happily recommend!

I phoned this bar and it seems they can’t speak English and with no etiquette at all. After I say Hello the lady just kept hanging up my phone. Look at the calling record below. Worst service ever! ————————— Updated on 14 Mar The restaurant replied back with and was lying they tried to contact me back but wasn’t successful. Look at the second pic any missing call from you?😂 Aren't you afraid of retribution for lying🤥

This is really a really great restaurant! One of the best stretches I've ever had! The food comes quickly so you don't have to wait long for the food, the waiters and waitresses are very friendly and helpful! I really enjoy eating there! And the design of the rooms looks great! The restaurant is highly recommended. :)

I ordered bratwurst with mashed potatoes and Riesling cabbage. The Riesling herb was good. The sausages were probably already pre-fried and for this reason were hard and dry on the outside. They tasted okay. The puree tasted good, but it already had a dry edge in one place. (Was it plated hours in advance to save time?) I had the impression that the dish was not freshly prepared. My companion's schnitzel didn't taste like homemade, more like a store-bought frozen product. The service staff seemed to be new, were very shy and unfortunately didn't really try hard. When asked how big or how many milliliters the homemade lemonade was, the only answer was: "Yes, normal size, I don't know exactly, I'm not that good at estimating." Even when we were served the lemonade, there was no information about it. I would have liked to have found out then at the latest. She could have followed suit at the bar. During our visit, a customer came in who was very loud and behaved very rudely towards other customers. The service staff didn't know exactly how to deal with this situation and hardly did anything. All guests felt uncomfortable. One man even left. It is irresponsible to let staff with little experience work alone! And this is in the train station area, where such situations are more likely to occur. Unfortunately we won't be coming back.

The restaurant is located directly at Mainz main station and therefore very central. The service was good, the food was very nicely prepared, but unfortunately not that tasty. And for what it was, e.g. vegan schnitzel with fries, it was too expensive in my opinion.

We had dinner with 6 people on Shrove Saturday. The waiter was very friendly. The food was delicious and went quickly. The price-performance ratio is good. So, if we're in Mainz again, we'd love to come back.

Good quality, best service. Changing lunch menu.

Hearty cuisine implemented in a modern way. But also delicious salads. Nice ambience, except for the deer head.

Very nice and cozy atmosphere, really tasty food and great service. The waiter who served us was very nice and accommodating. We haven't had such good service in a long time. We will definitely come back.

Price performance good. Friendly service

There were 6 of us there. Since you don't want to eat so much in the evening, we found the dishes quite heavy. That's why 5 of us ordered salad. We mainly got lettuce leaves, hardly any tomatoes, cucumbers or anything like that. Plus hardly any salad dressing. Too bad.

Great shop, very friendly staff and the food is delicious

It was really good. The atmosphere in the inn was great, the cocktails were very good and especially the food. That was really tasty. Price performance was top. Reservation was great, it was just great. Gladly again

We had a wonderful Christmas party. The entire team is very friendly, the food came quickly and easily. We were there with 33 guests. Arranging the booking was super uncomplicated and very guest-oriented. We'd love to come back. The Reichenstein Castle team says: THANK YOU

Very pleasant staff. Good food. Pleasant atmosphere. I enjoyed eating here a lot.

Great German food (try the beer goulash!) and good service.

Great beer, great food, great staff, handy for HBF. Highly recommended.

Hello, we landed here on a recommendation, without a reservation, a friendly welcome and OH WONDER that hasn't happened to us at all in the last few months.... After we had our table, the menu + drink order came, a moment later the food order After that everything happened in no time, (super fast) unbelievable, As if they knew what we wanted to eat, hot food, on a warm plate, good portion, tasted very good and at such a reasonable price. Incredible. Thank you for this experience. LG from Hamburg

Very good food, good service, nice ambiance, fast but not rushed, schnitzel tasted very fresh with a nice flavour.

Good food, great service, nice selection on the menu - clear recommendation!

The service was super friendly and quick. The food was also delicious and came very quickly, even though the restaurant was full. Nice atmosphere, you feel very comfortable and warmly welcomed. We'd love to come back

Best happy hour (wish it started before 10 tho)

I had a bad experience, the waitress got my order wrongly and when I informed him and asked for my original order he said it was not possible, so I had to pay more for something I didn’t ordered and didn’t want to. And he kept during the whole night telling me it was my mistake.

Very nice inn in the immediate vicinity of the main train station. Very attentive and friendly staff, really good local cuisine, decent value for money. Recommended!

Of course we didn't make a reservation. The service was very friendly and still gave us a table with the note that the place would be reserved after 1 hour. We ordered and received our drinks quickly and the delicious food came very quickly. Great here. We rarely give that much tip, but the service staff were so cheerful and friendly that they were happy to give it. You should definitely eat here. Keep it up

Basically, the food looked great and I also liked it, but that was due to my diet. The staff tried very hard and in the end it worked. Thanks for that

I was there for the first time a few days ago and I was thrilled. Great ambience, great service, great food. Only the bouncers in the entrance area seemed a bit strange, but they were also very nice!

Service was a bit overwhelmed that evening, unfortunately incorrect information was also passed on. Otherwise ok

Good service and delicious food. However, they are quite expensive, especially with extras such as sauce for the schnitzel (3.90 euros extra) or ketchup and mayonnaise, also euros extra each. Otherwise, as I said, great, especially the ambience and the location. The schnitzel day is highly recommended!!

Stayed in the rustic Zens for breakfast today, very tasty and beautifully prepared breakfast.

Very tasty food and great ambience. Unfortunately we couldn't order the Kaiserschmarn - because we were just too full :-). The salad and the schnitzel were great. We'd love to come back!!

Schön eingerichtets Restaurant Personal sehr freundlich Essen sehr lecker, wir hatten Schnitzel und Brizza. Eine Bretzelteig basierende Pizza Kommen gerne wieder

Some of the best Mainz has to offer!

Ein tolles Wirtshaus mit zuvorkommendem Personal sorgten für einen angenehmen Abend.

Friendly service and a varied range of food, it's nice that there are also a few little things such as sausage salad or hand cheese.

-) schnelle Bedienung -) gute durchaus leckere Küche -) gute Erreichbarkeit -) freundliches Personal -) sehr zu empfehlen

Hoch professionelle Gastro im Besten Sinne. Nette Location, netter zuvorkommender Service und leckeres Essen…wie bei jedem Besuch bisher! Kompliment dem Team und Chef.

It was excellent, and the waiter was very friendly and helpful.

I've been there twice now and both times I noticed the extremely friendly service staff! This is no longer a given these days! I hope the operator appreciates this! Otherwise everything was nice, the food was nice and hearty (I had the pub dumplings) and the price/performance ratio was absolutely fine. Cozy, even though we were there once with a very large group and once with about 8 people. So absolutely recommended, gladly again!

Die Bedingungen sind immer sehr nett und sowohl das Schnitzel als auch der Maultaschen-Salat waren sehr lecker.

Very good food, very friendly staff

Das Essen war sehr lecker und ansprechend zubereitet. Ein großer Pluspunkt: Es war auch für Vegatarier etwas dabei. Die Bedienung war äußerst aufmerksam und freundlich. Das Ambiente gefiel uns nicht so sehr, es hatte etwas von einer Bahnhofswartehalle. Trotzdem insgesamt eine sehr gute Wahl, wir würden es weiterempfehlen.

Alles prima, Reservierung klppte, Bedienung sehr aufmerksam und freundlich, Bier und Essen wie ststs sehr gut. Znnz lohnt sich ...

Delicious vegan schnitzel, very friendly service!

Wonderful food! For a nice price! Very good schweine haxe!

Sehr nette Begrüßung, tolles Ambiente! Schneller und überaus freundlicher Service! Das Essen war superlecker und die Cocktails auch! Ein kleiner Punktabzug gab es lediglich bei den Getränkepreisen. Insbesondere der Wein 02 für 7.20€ finde ich schon etwas hoch! Waren zum ersten Mal im Zens und kommen ganz sicher wieder!!

Wir waren zum Mittagstisch dort. Auf der Mittagskarte war kein vegetarisches Essen. Die Schweinelende war lauwarm und zäh. Der Salat war sehr lecker und das Essen war sehr schön angerichtet. Man bekommt beim Bezahlen keine Kostenaufstellung, finde ich sehr unseriös.

On Monday December 23rd we were at Zens with a larger group. After less than 30 seconds, an employee shouted at me in a very unfriendly manner and told me to get out of the way. As the evening continued, the behavior of this one employee towards our group was not really customer-friendly but rather very unfriendly. Although the rest of the staff were hard-working and friendly, a negative impression of this one employee remained with me days later, which I think is a shame for the inn.

Ambiente war ok aber mehr erwartet, Reservierung war für 18:30 Uhr um 18:15 Uhr waren wir da da war unser Tisch belegt wir wären ja auch viel zu früh…:/ Service eher unfreundlich nur wenige wirklich freundlich und zuvorkommend

We had dinner here on our first day in Mainz. To be honest, the food was nothing particularly special. It was served quite quickly, around 5–10 minutes after ordering. The schnitzel was good, but the beef in beer sauce (I believe it was) was slightly too salty. Food: 4/5 The atmosphere was excellent, and the staff were very friendly and helpful in assisting us with dish selection.

We wanted to eat a pretzel here from the train station across the street. That was forbidden to us.

The restaurant is actually highly recommended because the atmosphere and the offering are convincing. Unfortunately, there was an incident on my last visit that spoiled the positive impression. Some of the staff seemed very overwhelmed. It happened that customers were pointed out their position in the room in an unfriendly tone and were apparently accidentally bumped into. One employee in particular stood out because his behavior didn't really seem professional that day. The other waitress, however, was friendly and attentive, which balanced out the experience a bit. Unfortunately, a bad impression remains. Therefore, despite the otherwise positive experiences, I can unfortunately only give this rating and hope that in the future the staff will avoid this impression among other customers who come regularly.

Pre-order recommended. We only got a table in the uncomfortable entrance area.

Difficult, sometimes unpleasant operation. Guests are spoken to in an unfriendly manner because there is a lot of activity and some guests are “in the way” of the service. Rather unprofessional and customer distant. Too bad

Very unfriendly service, accuses paying guests of wanting to gouge, complains about too much demand. Extremely overwhelmed and incompetent

Stylisches Restaurant direkt am Bahnhof mit einer kleinen aber guten Speisenkarte mit pfiffigem Personal zu vernünftigen Preisen.

Their pretzel pizza was delicious. Very nice atmosphere and plenty of fun drink options to choose from. Food came out quickly and we enjoyed every bite!

Food wasn't that good, coffee too

We love eating here because the food is always delicious and the service is very helpful and attentive.

Alles top, danke! Sehr lecker und freundlicher Service

Great restaurant, right at the train station, attentive service, delicious, regional food

I spent the wait for the night train at Zenz. It was pretty crowded. The waitress came and recommended either a Schörlchen or a Helles Kloster Scheyern beer. Good recommendations and a super tasty beer Then tried another Bübele. The Spumdekäs was also really tasty and left you wanting more.

I stumbled in here because the train... cough, clear your throat, oh, whatever... Anyway, I treated myself to an unexpected stop on my own and hit the right "shop" with the Zenz: rustic, cozy, friendly service, delicious food Food (minced steak with mashed potatoes and tomato sauce from the lunch menu) and a hearty Riesling spritzer, which made me happily stagger back to the train station. I'd love to come back!

Drank super delicious red mulled wine and ate very tasty venison goulash. Very friendly and personable service staff who clearly enjoy their job. TOP

I kind of like the feel and atmosphere in the main room, this mix of wood and tiles. There are divided rooms that are all slightly different. Service was quick and nice, well taken care of. Food was great so far, we both had the schnitzel and were very satisfied. The selection of drinks was also convincing and overall the prices for a location right next to the main train station were completely acceptable for the current time.

Wir waren eine Gruppe mit 7 Personen. Der Service war top, da gibts nichts auszusetzen. Die Speisen waren nur lauwarm, die Pommes unter dem Schnitzel versteckt, was dazu führte, dass sie "latschig" waren, das Schnitzel selbst war nichts Besonderes, der Salat war ok, aber nicht überzeugend, die Bratwurst für den Preis hat noch eine Menge Luft nach oben. Beim Gulasch war zu wenig Fleisch und zuviel Beilage auf dem Teller. Einzig die Haxe und der Spundekäs waren sehr gut. Insgesamt konnte das Konzept uns nicht so überzeugen, dass wir nochmal dort essen würden.

Very good traditional food restaurant. The schnitzel is truly spectacular with its varieties, they also have daily specials and a great variety of both drinks and food. Actual grade: 4.5/5.0

A wonderful place to have a drink with friends. The service is always friendly and the service is very quick after ordering. No matter whether in warmer times in the outdoor seating or in the restaurant itself. We come here regularly and can only recommend it.

Relaxed, friendly staff in a very nice location! Fast service with delicious drinks and good food 😉... gladly again
