Zum goldenen Löwen in Annweiler am Trifels

We were at the Golden Lion Restaurant today and were unfortunately very disappointed overall. Most of the food seemed like ready-made meals – you could definitely taste it. The pork stomach was delicious, but the sauerkraut tasted like it came from a jar, the mustard came from a small bag, and the bread wasn't fresh restaurant bread, but rather resembled pre-packaged supermarket bread. The steak was tough, cooked all the way through, and tasted like a cheap ready-made marinade from the supermarket – the red marinade even came through the Burgundy sauce. The sauce itself was also extremely salty. Some of the fries were undercooked and also very salty. Unfortunately, the prices were significantly too high for this quality – the value for money is completely out of this world. It's a shame, we were looking forward to a good meal, but we probably won't be coming back.

Great food. Very friendly service! Always happy to come back ☺️ Very dog-friendly

Excellent food, very friendly and attentive service. I'd definitely go back. Con: Cash only.

Super delicious food and very friendly service! The salad dressing was brilliantly prepared, and the Weinstrasse schnitzel with fries was a real treat! We'd love to come back!

A culinary delight, very friendly service and owners, and a wonderful atmosphere. What more could you want? We'd be happy to come back. Thank you for a wonderful evening.

The food here is incredibly delicious, but the interior is very cramped and cozy. Advance reservations are recommended, as otherwise you might not be able to get a seat.

We were very satisfied with the service and the food. We had Palatinate specialties and were impressed by the impeccable taste of the dishes! The liver and meat dumplings were delicious. We were given a high chair and unsalted fries for our baby – really friendly! We'd love to come back!

Highly recommended. The Alsatian-style schnitzel was a true culinary experience. I was truly stunned from the first bite. Highly recommended!

We took the bus to the Keschdefest (a traditional German dish) in Annweiler this Saturday. Since the weather wasn't so great, the five of us went here for dinner. It was simply phenomenally good. You can eat really well here, as everything is freshly cooked.

The service actually deserves six stars. Definitely try the chestnut roast. The homemade lemonade is also delicious and comes in three different flavors. The outdoor seating is lovely.

Unqualified staff who didn't know the small menu or the side dishes. Italian owners offer traditional Palatinate dishes, which can't bode well, and that's exactly what happened. Three minutes after serving, there were complaints: the food and plates were lukewarm, supermarket produce, and unprofessional preparation! Ultimately, too expensive.

Service was nice, but upon inquiry, they said: Unfortunately, no card payments—and that's considering the location. It would be a good tip for the tax office. Too bad we didn't get around to testing it.

We arrived at the Goldener Löwen last night around 7:45 PM and wanted something to eat. Unfortunately, we couldn't get anything left because the kitchen was already closed. We walked to the neighboring restaurant, "Zur Gerberei," and ate something there! "Great service" in the "service desert of Germany." It's a good thing there are other restaurant representatives like our neighbors. Never again here!!!

The food was delicious and freshly prepared. The service was very friendly and attentive. I highly recommend this restaurant. We'll be back.

The Golden Lion, a cozy restaurant with a menu that leaves nothing to be desired. Very friendly hosts, and you can tell that everything is freshly prepared. You just have to feel at home here. It's not for nothing that we've been coming here for years.

Delicious regional cuisine, beautifully presented.

We come here every time we visit the Palatinate and will continue to do so in the future. Delicious food, friendly service, and a cozy atmosphere. If you haven't been to the Golden Lion yet, you're really missing out in Annweiler.

Great restaurant with very, very good food!

The food was delicious and the service was excellent.

A lovely restaurant with a good lunch menu. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The restrooms are clean.

We called while we were out and about and asked if we could still get a seat, and were very friendly and encouraged to come. When we arrived, we were greeted very warmly as well. The service was incredibly friendly, with a good touch of humor, and very unobtrusive. We immediately felt at home. Everyone enjoyed the food! It was delicious, too, and the side salad was super fresh and beautifully presented. Great service, great food, amazing! Thank you so much for everything, we highly recommend it.

The food was fantastic. Freshly pounded schnitzel and fried potatoes with onions and bacon, just as they should be. The salad was dressed just like mom used to make. All in all, wonderful. We'll be back.

Beautiful location, friendly staff, fast service, and delicious food at a good price. Highly recommended!

Super friendly service, delicious dishes, and a really nice outdoor seating area—perfect! We'll be back, thank you! 😃👍

Despite the change of ownership, the menu remains the same and the food is as excellent as ever. The outdoor area was full, and the wait for food was what you'd expect when the food is freshly cooked. The service, including the manager, was very friendly. We'll be back on Wednesday 😊

We were at the Zum goldenen Löwen restaurant last night and had a truly lovely evening. Although it was very busy, you could immediately tell how hard the kitchen staff were trying to make everything perfect. The food was outstanding, and the service was exceptionally friendly and attentive. We were happy to wait a little longer because you could tell everything was fresh and prepared with love. We highly recommend this restaurant and are already looking forward to our next visit.

Unfortunately, we waited for our order for an hour and a half. By that time, the people who came and placed orders much later than us had already finished their dishes and received the bill (and there were about 10 or 12 people). It seemed that they forgot about our orders and started quickly preparing them after our reminder 40 minutes later. And after that, we waited another 40 minutes to finally get our dishes. We also had to wait a long time for the bill. My turkey breast was very tough, and the pineapples on it were sweet as for a cake, the dishes of my family were also not very tasty. I give only 1 star to the place for the spoiled impressions of the weekend + 1 star deserved by the delicious lemonade with elderberry.

Simply wow! 😍 Beautiful ambiance – you immediately feel at home, like you're in a little holiday paradise. The service? Super friendly and attentive, leaving nothing to be desired. And the food… a dream! Especially the Weinstraße dish – so incredibly juicy, tender, and full of flavor that you'd want seconds straight away. 😋 Everything was beautifully presented, almost too good to eat (but only almost 😉). We were in the area for three days and actually ate here all three days – it was great every time! The menu has so many dishes we absolutely want to try – so one thing's for sure: We'll definitely be back! 💯 Absolutely recommend it – everything here is just perfect!

Awesome place! Regional cuisine at its finest – fresh, delicious, and really well-made. You can immediately tell that the cooking here is done with heart and skill. The staff are super friendly, exuding good humor and always smiling. Everything is perfectly seasoned, beautifully presented, and truly authentic. The menu has so many more items we want to try – so of course, we'll be back! If you're looking for a cozy atmosphere, friendly service, and food that simply makes you happy, this is the place for you. Best wishes from North Rhine-Westphalia!

It could actually be so nice, but the service ruins everything. Drinks were forgotten, dishes were forgotten, even after repeated requests. Re-orders were forgotten, and then there was no indication that payment was only accepted by card. Oh, and the food took almost two hours.

Beautiful location, attentive service. The food was okay, okay, but didn't blow us away based on the reviews; it lacked a certain zest throughout. At 8:15 PM, everything was cheerfully cleared away and closed. Okay, but not great.

The price-performance ratio is good. The food is tasty and the service is friendly.

I had a Weinstraße schnitzel. The dish sounded very interesting at first. Unfortunately, the meat was very dry...and it came with dry fries. It's a shame, and considering the price, I wouldn't go back.

Very friendly and accommodating staff! Cozy atmosphere! Delicious food! We celebrated our wedding there and were completely satisfied! Keep it up! We come to the Golden Lion regularly and always enjoy our stay!

You simply feel comfortable and welcome here – even with children! Thank you so much. All the staff were cheerful and extremely attentive. The homemade lemonade was truly delicious, and all the dishes were fresh and delicious! We look forward to our next visit :)

There were five of us there with our dog. The menu is small but exquisite. We wanted a restaurant with Palatinate specialties, and this was fulfilled. We ordered five different dishes, each lovingly prepared and truly delicious. The staff was attentive, friendly, and even had time for a quick chat. Excellent value for money. Definitely worth a visit.

A wonderfully cozy beer garden Very friendly service and good food – you could hear the chef pounding schnitzel. We brought our dog with us, who was immediately offered water. Highly recommended! We'll definitely be back 🫶

We were there around 8:09 p.m. and were told the kitchen had just closed. Opening hours stated until 9:00 p.m.

Very tasty food, friendly and attentive service, the ambience in the beer garden could be a bit nicer

Simply superb! Great, friendly, fast service! We can only praise the food to the skies! Thank you so much!

We were there today with our dog and had lunch outside. The service was super friendly and prompt, and they made sure that not only we, but also the dog, had everything they needed! The homemade lemonade tasted wonderful and, just like the fantastic food, was lovingly and beautifully garnished. We were completely satisfied and can recommend the restaurant with a clear conscience!

Leckeres Essen, sehr nette Bedienung und schön um draußen zu sitzen.

What a surprise! The outdoor area is set in a magical spot and is lovingly furnished. The menu is small, but the Lewwerk dumplings and their Palatinate friends are truly delicious. Special praise and thanks go to the service and kitchen staff. They were overwhelmed with guests that day, there was no long wait for the food, and the service was always friendly. Thank you for that.

I ordered pork loin steak. The quality left a lot to be desired. There were a few wilted leaves in the salad. I won't have that again.

The food and service were excellent! We would come again!

Great service, super delicious 👌

A very cozy restaurant with very attentive, friendly service. The wait for the food was short, and all the dishes I ordered tasted excellent. I've visited the restaurant several times and will definitely do so again. Highly recommended!

Very good food and nice atmosphere

Very friendly service, good regional specialties in large portions, reasonably priced, and a nice local atmosphere—we really enjoyed it!

Very tasty regional cuisine, we were there every evening.

The food portions weren't good value for money. Otherwise, the food was delicious, but I'd gotten more for the price...

Very friendly staff, you immediately feel at home there. The food tastes excellent, very tasty Palatinate cuisine, perfect after hiking!

Ate there yesterday. Great Palatinate cuisine and very attentive, warm treatment of the guests. A clear recommendation. Thank you!

Absolutely recommended, we arrived shortly before the kitchen closed and were still able to order.

Clear recommendation. The French onion soup was absolutely delicious (we originally just wanted a drink) and the staff is very warm and friendly. Best regards

Very nice outdoor area. Great Palatinate dishes, tasty and good value for money. Nice service. We enjoyed the stay very much.

My husband and I were really lucky for the first time at Golden Lions Annweiler Essen... we were positively surprised... we only had Greek salad, my husband had sausage salad but the dressing was very good, not everyone can do that, and what we've seen before was what was served was delicious... Service was attentive and on hand... We'll be back. Thank you

Very friendly service, very good food, we felt completely at home! We'll definitely be back!

Delicious schnitzel variations, e.g. baked with vineyard jelly and cheese, or Alsatian style. Top

Very tasty food and nice atmosphere. Service was also great, the chef even comes to the table if there are any questions about the culinary composition 👍🏻

A stop in Annweiler am Trifels on your way through is worth it: a tranquil, charming town in the Palatinate Forest. Stop at the historic Golden Lion – good food, crowned by genuine friendliness and attentive service.

What a great experience! The food, whether regional specialties or classic German dishes, the regional wine and the super friendly service, all in all great! We'll definitely be happy to come back again and again! 👍

Very cozy restaurant (also indoor!) with super nice service, delicious local wine and delicious food. For value for money you can only give 5 stars. Thanks for the great evening!

A wonderful restaurant, I’ve been there five times already... They serve very tasty Metaxa schnitzel. And if we go to the mountains for a walk, we choose something nearby to stop there after the walk for dinner. I highly recommend it👌🏻

Delicious and regional food, always with pleasure.

Delicious food, good Palatinate and German cuisine. Nice service.

Very good food, can only recommend the Grumbeerpännel and the service was also very friendly. The ambience was also great.

Have eaten there several times with my family (toddlers and elementary school students). In addition to the really delicious and fresh food, the incredibly good family-friendly service should be highlighted, probably the best in the city in this regard. I'm looking forward to the outdoor season when you can sit in the pillory.

We've really traveled a lot throughout the Palatinate but the Metaxa Schnitzel at the Goldener Löwen was really the best thing we've ever eaten and the great service only made the whole experience at the Löwen better!!!

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 🙏

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 best schnitzel I've eaten in a long time!

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 🤤

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

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

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

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!

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!
