Zum goldenen Löwen in Annweiler am Trifels

The food is delicious! We've been here before, and it doesn't disappoint. Although, we forgot you can't pay with card here. So, bring cash!

Sehr gutes Essen ... freudiger Wirt. Seit 8 Jahren und wir kommen immer wieder, weiter so !

Delicious food, very friendly and attentive staff :-)

Highly recommended :) I've been coming to the Golden Lion for years. The food is simply great

Very friendly service, super delicious food (also Palatinate specialties) we would love to come back

We were there with a large group for the New Year's reception There were no drinks that were on the menu, the food was cold, after returning the cold food you got the same thing warmed up again (minimal). (Great hygiene) You weren't allowed to move tables even though the large group was registered. Price performance too high. Too expensive for the portions you get. Service was nice, there's nothing you can say.

Since we were there with a larger group and made reservations, nothing was organized. The food leaves a lot to be desired and most of it came to the table cold. So I wouldn't visit this restaurant again and wouldn't recommend it.

Unfortunately the food was cold… portions too small for the price And when I gave the food back because it was really cold, I got my cut schnitzel back lukewarm!!!! That shouldn't be right, I should have gotten a new hot schnitzel, where is the hygiene here please??? Hygiene set Service was very nice

Really delicious food at reasonable prices. Very nice service. Recommended.

We were there for dinner with 5 people on 12/30/24 and 12/31/24. The staff is very friendly and the owners are in the kitchen themselves and prepare everything. There are also great and varied dishes on the menu. Everything was very tasty and we will definitely be back. Thank you very much 🙏

The best schnitzel I've eaten in a long time!

Stopped here spontaneously while passing through. The landlord and all the staff are extremely friendly and the food was delicious. The small menu offers something for everyone, from delicious schnitzel dishes to a few vegetarian dishes, salads and Palatinate specialties. There was also homemade lemonade. But the crowning glory for me was the dessert. Rusty knights brought back childhood memories. There were four of us here with our family and we'll definitely turn off the B10 again the next time we're passing through to stop off here. Thank you for the great hospitality.

The food is very good. Everything is fresh, no frozen food. You can tell that cooking is still done with love and passion. Prices are completely okay. The portion is also enough. The owners are very friendly.

Super friendly hosts, great food and everything was perfect 👍

We were there for the first time yesterday and the food was very tasty 🤤

Quaint restaurant with friendly service. Unfortunately, the loin of my meal wasn't that good, but the fried potatoes and mushrooms were delicious

Super delicious food. Great ambience. Very cozy. I'd love to come back.

I was in Anweiler for work and asked about the best restaurant in the city center. After two conversations I received the same answer twice: “Go to the Golden Lion, for me it’s the best restaurant in the area!” If you two are reading this, thank you for the great tip! This restaurant definitely stands out from the crowd! There is plenty of seating and the atmosphere is great. You immediately feel comfortable. The real highlight, however, is the talented chef who prepares the dishes with a lot of passion and creativity. Her ability to put a modern twist on traditional European dishes is exceptional. The ingredients are of very high quality and you can taste it! Another plus is the careful selection of drinks, which wonderfully complement the culinary delicacies. The attentive staff is friendly and put a big smile on my face - hospitality is very important here! Thank you for the excellent food!

An original! The food is super tasty & very fresh, the service is very attentive and entertaining! Perfect after a strenuous hike in the area.

Great small and cozy restaurant...you immediately feel very comfortable.

Very nice location, a visit is always worth it

Very tasty food, very nice staff, everything was great.

Got this tip while hiking and it was really worth it!! In addition to the very good food, we laughed a lot. Everyone is super friendly and funny. You leave with a full stomach and a good mood. Only recommended!!

Very tasty, home-style cuisine. Good service. We would come back.

Delicious food and very nice service!

What a wonderful experience! The food was absolutely delicious, the drinks were refreshing, and everything was served in record time. The service was so warm and attentive that you immediately felt at home. A place to return to – highly recommended!

Typical Palatinate hospitality, warm and original.

Basically it was OK - we got a table spontaneously and were served quickly. Drinks and food were as expected, the service seemed humorous with a tendency to be sly. Woodeye be vigilant…😉

Very nice host who listens to the guests' wishes and makes a lot of jokes. We felt very comfortable.

Absolutely amazing. A fantastic friendly host and although they were fully booked they let us in and we had amazing food. We will be back. Thanks Jochen

Very tasty schnitzel - we recommend!

We have eaten there three times and have not been disappointed at all. Food super tasty. The service is very friendly, you feel at home. Thank you dear host, we look forward to our next visit to Annweiler. Greetings from the Eifel.

Only had a few drinks, but very nice atmosphere and the entourage and the owner were also pleasant.

We had dinner with 8 people on Saturday. Since we have eaten in this restaurant many times and have been very satisfied with the food so far (we had also told our friends how good the food is at the Golden Lion), we were a little disappointed with 3 meals this time 😞 We ordered the “Burg Trinity” meal, pork medallions, croquettes and salad. So far we have always been very satisfied with this menu 👍 But this time we were served small pieces of schnitzel as pork medallions. When we told the waiter we were told that it was pork neck🙄 Well, that’s a statement!! The meat in our meal was very tough and dry!!! If I offer medallion as a menu item on the menu, it should be medallion!! Although it is all made from pork, there is still a difference in quality and price. Unfortunately my complaint was not taken seriously at all, it's a shame🤔 The Palatinate dishes from our friends were all delicious😋 We will come back to eat again (my mother's hometown), but we won't order "Burg Trinity" again.

Family-friendly, cozy restaurant. Sympathetic host. Innovative dining symbioses from the Palatinate and Alsatian cuisine.

Very good meal and quality products. Visit the old town to do

Everything was great, delicious food and friendly service. The innkeeper is always available for a snack

Unfortunately only cash payment

Landed here spontaneously after visiting Trifels Castle and just managed to get a table in the outdoor area. Conclusion: Super delicious food and friendly, warm, great hospitality. We'll be back! Kind regards from Karlsruh

Nice outdoor area. The food was good but it all took a long time. Apparently due to a lack of staff.

Everything fits: great location, super tasty original. Palatinate food (not industrial food) and a super cheerful “waiter” that you can only find in the Palatinate. 5 out of 5 stars in all areas and I'll go there again.

Restaurant located in the middle of Annweiler's old town with a cozy beer garden next to a fountain. Super nice host! Unfortunately we were in Annweiler too briefly to eat there a second time. But we'll be back. Our Metaxa schnitzel and Barbarossa steak were super tasty. There are also regional specialties there.

This was our first time eating here. There are very few seats in the courtyard, so a reservation seems almost mandatory. We were served by a man and a young woman. Both were very nice. The food was very good. For me it could have been a little more seasoned. I should have actively asked for salt and pepper because we weren't asked if everything was okay - that's why it's "only" 4 stars. I find the prices to be okay, but still on the higher side. We look forward to the next time! 😊

Every year when I'm in Annweiler, I of course eat here at least once. The landlord has a lot of humor and makes you feel very welcome. I can highly recommend the Alsatian schnitzel. And the highlight this year was the “Rusty Knight” dessert.

A bit expensive but the people of Baden will pay for it

Nice meal. Delicious schnitzel with metaxa/cheese sauce. Highly recommended. Friendly and attentive service.

Delicious restaurant that is also open at lunchtime on weekends. Ambience good with a water fountain in the middle of the courtyard, rustic, practical, clean. Drinks good and cool. Eating tasty, sufficient portions. Jumbo fries are ok. Salad very fresh. Service was friendly, everything was great 👍

Lovely terrace under the trees on the square. Casual atmosphere and casual service. I stayed away from the local specialties and chose the regular menu and that was fine.

Tasty salad with chicken. Excellent wine Nice location for outdoor dining. Quick service.

Very, very tasty food in Annweiler. Well prepared food and excellent service. I can absolutely recommend the rusty knight as a dessert. Gladly again at any time. Thanks for the great time there. It was great outside. Reservation recommended.

Food very good. Boss extremely likeable. Employee service was terribly poor and absolutely untalented but friendly.

Spontaneously go there after the MTB... totally friendly, funny inn and above all... the food was very good! 👍🏻 Keep it up and good luck for the future ☀️🍀🎊🍺

Beautifully located in the heart of the historic old town. When the weather is nice, you can sit very comfortably in the outdoor area at the Prangertshof. The restaurant offers a variety of dishes with a focus on Palatinate cuisine. Casual atmosphere - highly recommended overall.

Ordered a small non-alcoholic beer (with the meal), the bill came to 5.90 euros! Kindly pointed out the error. “Boss” became angry and derogatory towards us. 1x, never again!

today on July 14th. We asked for a seat at 7:40 p.m. - a waitress said harshly, without saying hello or saying anything else, "Kitchen closed, no seat" and left again. But there were obviously places available. I hadn't even asked about the kitchen (yet). Outrageous, the restaurant looked very nice, opening hours according to the internet until 9 p.m.

Great food, warm and funny boss, Absolutely recommended.

Innkeeper with a good mood. Unfortunately the food was just average. No fresh sauces, completely overpriced "homemade lemonade"... mixed together with syrup...

Very nice staff and boss. Portions have a good amount. Very tasty and fresh

World's best Fleschknepp with horseradish sauce and very nice innkeeper. We look forward to our next visit there. Greetings to the beautiful palace...

The food came very quickly and was also very tasty, the service was nice and friendly, I can only recommend this restaurant because everything was super good

Had a very good meal here. Starter and main course very tasty. Grilled pepperoni was nice and spicy, Alsatian schnitzel, Metaxa schnitzel and side salads were very good. Salad isn't just drowned in dressing but very well prepared. Warm welcome, we felt very comfortable. Thank you very much, I'll be happy to come back when I get the chance.

Nice place to stay and have some delicious, traditional food.

The wait staff were very friendly and the food was really good. This is a relaxed “down home” type of restaurant. This is a Pfalzische style of German restaurant where you can get local varieties of German favorites like schnitzel Alsatian style (really close to Alsace), wurst, saumagen, among other things. We liked this restaurant and the folks who run it so much that we ate there both nights of our trip. You will not go away hungry or dissatisfied.

Delicious food, great service and a very friendly host.

Super delicious!! the taste is amazing! Everything was freshly prepared Everything perfect!!! We'll be back 😋😋😋

Food tasteless and loveless...snack level untrained staff, no knowledge of German. Boss preferred his own lunch

Cozy atmosphere, very friendly service, good food and the restaurant is very dog-friendly. Stop by if you're in the area.

Very nice, relaxed atmosphere. Very attentive and courteous host. Food was also very tasty. Definitely recommended.

Super tasty, good value for money. Except for coffee and espresso, prices are too high

Good food and nice outdoor area. The service and the manager of the house round off the stay perfectly. We'd love to come back.

Very tasty food with great service, absolutely nice and friendly!

We were there twice. Great food. The boss is a mega host. After asking if there was dessert. There was a rusty knight. So delicious 😋 😋 😋 👍.Just like grandma's. If you want to have a good meal in Annweiler and have a nice evening, I can only give you this tip. Golden Lion 🦁 an insider tip 😉.

The operation and service was competent and very friendly. Unfortunately, my girlfriend and I found the food absolutely nothing special. Rather very simple. No homemade spaetzle, the sauce tasted like a packet sauce. The pasta with vegetables tasted okay, but nothing more. We found value for money to be poor given the rather small portions.

A beautiful Pentecost day. Beer garden weather. The landlord is nice, polite, accommodating, with a sense of humor. The waitress doesn't seem to have worked that often, which was a bit confusing. A nice end to a great trip. The food was really good and the portion was appropriate, the salad was deliciously prepared. Price-performance ok. When making homemade lemonade, you should pay attention to the mixing ratio. The first one tasted super delicious. There wasn't much syrup in the second one. The beer garden doesn't have much seating, but is still cozy

Went there spontaneously today. It was great, the food was delicious and the staff was friendly :)

Rustic restaurant with a funny and friendly host and super delicious food! We'll come back anytime!

Super nice host. So delicious food. (Especially the schnitzel with Metaxa sauce)

Great ambience, great food, we always enjoy coming back here

This place has incredible food with very friendly and helpful service. We came down after we visited the castle and we will absolutely be returning. The food was so good, we forgot to take photos until everything was almost gone!

Clear recommendation! We were there at the weekend with a larger group, once for dinner and again the next day spontaneously for a spritzer. The food is really tasty and sufficient. Totally justified for the price. Schnitzel top, salad top, Palatinate platter too. We also got spritzers and schnapps on the house. The service was unbeatable. It's rare to experience so much wit, kindness and relaxedness. We'll definitely be back.

Subba chef, delicious food. Best school!

top load! good food and funny owner!

Very good service, we had a lovely laugh with the waitress, the food was great and wine from the local winery in Annweiler

Stopped here passing through this lovely town, and it was such a nice experience. Really kind service with good German and local cuisine!! Situated right in the adorable town center.

Very good restaurant in Annweiler. Top service paired with very good and tasty food. I would like to highlight the service and the absolutely top-notch hospitality of the host; unfortunately, you don't find that much in restaurants these days. Keep it up 👍

Were here for the first time. The restaurant was beautifully decorated. The prices are slightly above normal levels. Unfortunately, no bread was served with the sheep's cheese. When we asked if we could have bread, the answer was yes, but we still didn't get any bread. A pity.

Very nice innkeeper and staff, they are happy to have a chat. The food was very tasty and we were well fed. I find some of the drinks to be too expensive compared to the local competition. Wine spritzer 0.5 liters for 6 euros, or espresso for 3 euros are too much. Maybe Also remove the cobwebs in one or two corners. Otherwise it was a great, successful evening.

Jochen and his crew are always an enrichment for the mind and stomach. It's always nice to be with you. Jochen as boss and Gunther as service man + the kitchen team ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A cozy little inn, the food was delicious 😋 good Palatinate cuisine. The innkeeper was very friendly and had good tips for excursions.

Super friendly service, very good food. Everyone will find something here: starters (delicious onion soup!), salads, home-style dishes with and without meat. Can be recommended. Plus point: it's open on Mondays.

We had a fantastic afternoon with really delicious food and great entertainment. Any time. Keep it up Jochen!!

I can only recommend a very good little restaurant. However, I would call ahead as there aren't too many spaces.

We were there for the second time today, but certainly not the last. Great cuisine, nice host. Everything fitted

👌Very tasty food, very good service. Unfortunately there was no more space otherwise we would have had the delicious dessert 😋Rusty Knight

After our trip to Annweiler yesterday, we wanted to end the day with dinner. We chose this restaurant and we were definitely NOT disappointed!! All the previous reviews have said “it must be really good there” and YES, it was incredibly good. It's been a very long time since I've eaten something so tasty and down-to-earth. This chef can cook damn well ;-) I always find that you can tell straight away from the sauce on the side salad whether someone knows their craft or not. And yes, the salad dressing was excellent. For the main course we had the Grumbeerpfännel (fried potatoes, black pudding and liver sausage), the Burg Dreifaltigkeit (pork medallions, mushrooms, gravy and croquettes), Metaxaschnitzel (breaded pork schnitzel with a Metaxa sauce and gratinated with fries) and an Alsatian schnitzel (breaded pork schnitzel Pork with creme fraische, bacon and onions with fries) Everything was fantastic throughout. Tender meat, gravy pulled from bones, crispy fries - what more could you want?! Now a quick word about the host - what a "cool guy", super friendly, funny, accommodating. Without our daughter asking for dessert, he went out of the restaurant, across the street to the ice cream parlor and just randomly brought her two scoops of ice cream - of course she was very happy. In short, a great place and we won't be there for the last time!!!

We were there with a hiking group. The landlord was really funny and took a lot of time for us. A child wanted an ice cream, so he ran with the child to the neighboring ice cream parlor. The food was very good and in the end we couldn't tear ourselves away from this great restaurant! We will be back!!

Super delicious food and very nice staff. We'd love to come back

Very friendly, quick service, food good and plentiful. We'd love to come back.

A small, very cozy Palatinate restaurant with a very warm atmosphere. You were greeted very friendly and immediately treated like a regular, even though it was your first time there. The landlord is a very warm and funny person who you immediately like. The food was ready quickly and was very warm right down to the last bite. The Weinstrasse schnitzel was served in a pan that retained the heat very well. The meat was very tender and the sweet taste of the wine jelly, baked with cheese, was delicious and perfectly combined The fries were ok. The sauce from the side salad was also delicious. Price-performance ratio was definitely right. At the end we got a nightcap on the house and went home completely satisfied and full. I don't really want to Rate it too well, otherwise you won't get a seat at the end because everyone wants to go there........but I'll give it to the landlord👍😉

We were absolutely thrilled, very tasty food and first-class, humorous hospitality. Would give 6 stars if possible, absolutely recommended, we would love to come back!
