Zur Forelle in Ulm

Great restaurant in a fantastic setting. Update 09.02.25 Still great food. A strikingly young service team was on hand. They created a very pleasant, comfortable atmosphere. I only go here in Ulm.

Highly recommended, we came across it by chance. The staff is very nice and accommodating and the food was very good. The price-performance ratio was completely fine for me. The way to the toilet is a bit difficult and the indoor restaurant is unfortunately difficult or impossible to reach with a wheelchair. However, this is due to the age of the building.

If you stick with the classics (Forelle Ulmer Art, Forelle Müllerin, Stew Geisburger Marsch) the food is excellent. The atmosphere in this ancient Ulm house is upscale, the service is correct, and you keep great memories. In summer you can dine outside, on the small bridge near the restaurant. Splendid.

Trout specialty that I didn't have I had dinner with colleagues who like fish. In their opinion not very good. My average meat dinner

There were three of us with a dog who ate there and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. The restaurant is very comfortably furnished and you immediately feel at home. The food is a bit more expensive, but rightly so, because it tastes excellent and is of very high quality. The service was also impeccable! We would love to come back. A very nice location to sit outside even in summer.

It is no longer the trout as we used to know it. You notice the change of ownership. The portion has become smaller and it actually doesn't taste like it used to. ☹️We also thought the side salad for €8.50 was very high. Packaged green salad was used for this and the variations (potato salad, for example, was unfortunately no longer included) + the quantity were not justified for the price. 185€ for four people. Unfortunately the price/performance was no longer right for us.

Very quaint restaurant. The service was very attentive and courteous. A reservation is recommended. The price is a bit higher.

We were here with our guests from China. Both the guests and we, as self-confessed Ulm residents and restaurant “Zur Forelle” connoisseurs, felt extremely comfortable in the classic environment. The environment, the service and also the food were brilliant. We would be happy to take our guests here again. The new operator is obviously doing an excellent job

Simply amazing, especially the umami salmon with leek risotto.

Very tasty food! Very tasty from starter to dessert! The service is very friendly and forthcoming. Definitely worth a visit!

Beautiful old, traditional restaurant - run in a modern way. Extremely friendly and professional service. Very nice young team. Traditional dishes - cooked in a modern way. Not playful or "overambitious" but just really well done. There were three of us. I had skrei, my colleagues had steak and ox cheeks. All three dishes were great! The dessert was also great! (Unfortunately I didn't take any photos)

Always a culinary experience! Very attentive and friendly staff. Always the first choice in Ulm for us!

We wanted to have dinner in a high-quality restaurant this evening for a special occasion. As foreigners, we particularly liked the Fischerviertel, so we ultimately decided on the Restaurant Zur Forelle. We were not disappointed in any way. The ambience of the very old house with narrow doors and low ceilings, the funny, friendly service, including towards our German Shepherd, and the visually and tastefully great food were a great end to Ulm.

The food was unique and the service fantastic. A bit small but very comfortable. Tall people have to keep their heads down a bit. Always worth a visit, reservation recommended.

There were three of us and we ate trout blue, trout Müllerin style and trout Ulmer style. All 3 were very good!!!

The two kinds of ox cheeks are awesome :-)

The restaurant is really fantastic, the trout dishes are very tasty, the atmosphere is very cozy and has a historical atmosphere, the staff was friendly and helpful, there is something on the menu for every taste, the prices are also very fair, highly recommended if you are in the city .

The name of the restaurant sounds so old-fashioned but the menu is so modern and exclusive. But down-to-earth Swabian cuisine is also offered.

Great atmosphere, good food and great service, one point deducted because of the prices.

Beautiful half-timbered house in the middle of Ulm's old town. You mentally immerse yourself in another time as soon as you enter the restaurant. The food is good Swabian cuisine and therefore has sufficient portions

Food was ok. But nothing spectacular, which is why we don't visit the restaurant again. The onion roast wasn't medium as ordered but rather rare. The portion for the money was too small for me as a woman. There isn't a single children's dish either. The ambience is nice but for I definitely expected more money.

Excellent onion roast! Nice ambience and great service!!

The location and the ambience were really special, rather small and cozy. The menu was great, not too much and not too little. The starter and main course were sensational. Highest respect to the chef for that. Wow.... Now unfortunately we come to the bad. The service was a disaster. An opinion is always relative and everyone judges it differently, but for me it's just aloof, arrogant and unfriendly. At the end, as it says on the menu, we wanted an aperitif. Then we order wine/Cuba etc. for 9 people. In response: Quote: "we are a restaurant and not a bar!" Then don't write it on the card!!!! Otherwise, if it weren't for her, highly recommended.

Excellent food, great service. I'd especially recommend the pork loin.

Historical building with corresponding peculiarities, which give it a special flair. Interesting, appealing menu. Not cheap, but worth the price.

We ate there at the weekend and it was very tasty. Everything was great 👍🏼

Nice restaurant in the center of the city. Beautiful terrace, inside it has a classic German appearance. The food is of a reasonable standard.

Simply unearthly. The combination of service and cuisine is simply great!!

Excellent restaurant in the heart of Ulm's fishing district. Welcoming and well-kept environment, friendly staff. The trout was delicious and impeccably prepared. Absolutely recommended. Ottimo restaurant in the heart of the fishermen's quarters of Ulm. Ambiete accogliente e curato, personale gentile. Buonissima la trota, cucinata in manner impeccabile. Assolutamente consigliato.

The food was very good, especially the trout. The poached pear dessert is also highly recommended. Good wine list. Make sure you book.

Nuce trad German Resto in central Ulm. Canon ball from Napoleon's attack on the city included..

If you want to eat delicious food in a beautiful historical place and chat with your favorite friends, this is the right place you should definitely visit. I would also like to point out that there are warm and friendly employees. 👏

The restaurant recommended by colleagues in the company is an old house with a very charming atmosphere. I ordered the special grilled fish, which was very delicious; recommended dessert after the meal

Without further words - sensational!!

One of my favorite restaurants in Ulm. Excellent staff, food and location. The Ulm style fish and stew are both delicious. Update September 2024. Back at Zur Forelle. New owners. This is the same high quality food, exceptional service and great location. I am so glad this place is back!

Very nice clocky restaurant with delicious food and very good service

I finally wanted to go to the trout and offer my partner something special. Unfortunately, we got the wrong day. Our reserved table wasn't ready yet and we had to wait 5 minutes. As we sat, the table next door was also asked to leave because of the next guests. (Perhaps the reservation time slots should be revised). The table that arrived after us was served first and we actually waited 15-20 minutes for our order to be taken (after asking if we could please order). It's completely okay to wait a bit for the freshly prepared food and it was absolutely within reason. If service is so important, you should also take care of all guests. The couple next to us were probably friends or family from the house and were very well looked after. The beef fillet, the sauce and the mashed potatoes and cauliflower were excellent and I was delighted with the taste and quality. Unfortunately the salmon wasn't salted and the risotto was also very bland. Unfortunately, the rest of the salmon and risotto was returned to the plate. For my first visit, as a native of Ulm, to the Forelle, it was unfortunately disappointing and not worth the money. Maybe it was the day, because with all the reviews I can't explain it any other way.

The food was certainly very tasty, the same for the wine and rose. Despite all this, we were still left with a strange aftertaste. When I asked the waiter if I could pay, he immediately came over with the PIN machine and told me the amount without handing me the receipt first. I withdrew €87.50. Because I got the idea that something wasn't quite right (that's what you feel), I asked him for the receipt, he asked for the PIN receipt? While he knew exactly what I meant, no sir, I would like the regular receipt showing what I ate. And yes... the receipt showed the amount of € 81.50, so I had paid € 6 too much, but I had already given him a tenner tip, so a tip of 16.50 for this gentleman. Oh oh oh apologized and canceled my first debit payment, the looks afterwards together with his colleague did not give me the feeling that he did this by accident. Not a good maker (in the shape of a cup of coffee or something) at all. So be careful and always ask for your receipt first, which is how it should be, and only pay after you have seen it... hence the strange aftertaste afterwards.

Trilogy of scallops, scampi and pulpo for 39.90. It wasn't worth 10 euros. The sauce was mushy and lacked any finesse. Overall, an unimaginative and bott creation. Frosta tastes nicer there. The service doesn't speak German and the atmosphere is reminiscent of the 70s. If this is one of the best restaurants in Ulm, the culinary quality of the city is poor. A shame for so much money. With 4 people 270 euros were gone. Nobody was happy!

We wanted to eat at the trout. We were made aware that we only had 11/2 hours. The reception was friendly, the card was handed over, then there was radio silence and no one was seen anymore. We were the ONLY guests. After more than 15m we left because there was obviously no interest in us. Too bad. No service as you would imagine. The rest cannot be judged.

The food was super delicious! A beautiful ambience and great service staff make this restaurant one of the best in Ulm.

We ate here today after a walk through beautiful Ulm or Neu-Ulm. You can sit outside very nicely, even with a dog. The atmosphere is rustic and very beautiful, and also steeped in history. The service was very quick and friendly. It should be noted that the prices are really on the high side. The menu was also a bit small, but you can always find something.

I am very disappointed with my visit to Restaurant Zur Forelle. My wife and I wanted to have a beer and a small snack there. When I told the staff that we weren't hungry and just wanted to order a beer and a snack, we were told that if we didn't order real food we wouldn't be allowed to sit there. We were only given 15 minutes to finish our beers and then asked to leave the restaurant and go to a bar instead. We were looking forward to a relaxing evening, but instead we were disappointed.

excellent food and location! Riozinho passing next to it provides an additional charm to complete the experience. Excellent service too.

I found it really tasty here and also impressive that so many celebrities have been there, e.g. Einstein. This restaurant also serves homemade bread rolls.

What could be nicer than sitting on a cozy terrace on a hot summer day, drinking a good wine and enjoying a snack. The Forelle terrace is unbeatable. I had ordered a fish soup, which unfortunately reminded me more of a minestrone than a bouillabaisse. There was smoked salmon as an accompaniment - I didn't understand that. I also couldn't find the "greeting from the kitchen" - a dry, hard roll with a spread - to be a culinary highlight. Conclusion: Terrace is great, the rest: room for improvement

It is worth paying a little more to taste a trout (forelle) in this emblematic place. The best place, without a doubt, is to sit on the little terrace next to the canal, with views of the Ulm tower, although for that, you have to go no later than 12:30 as it is everyone's favorite place and it usually has quite a lot. influx of German customers who eat at 1:00 p.m.

Never sat at such an angle before, but the food was delicious. Fish soup, trout, good wine. Friendly, lovely outside.

Great food, great service at a high price.

Very tasty, I can only recommend it to everyone

As a true Ulmer, you should have eaten here at least once in your life. Great cozy atmosphere, especially in summer on the terrace 🥰 We've done it now and it was really, really good. The food was very tasty and beautifully presented. The fish is recommended but the beef cheek Zweierlei was also great. Just something different between all the pizzerias, schnitzel and burger shops. Be sure to try dessert too. The apple fritters were also very nice 👌 But what you should know is that the prices are quite high, here you just pay for them Upscale atmosphere, special and high quality delicious food and the location. I think it's worth it. But if you want to fill your stomach cheaply, you've come to the wrong place, without dessert there would definitely have been some room in your stomach 😅

Service and location are great. However, food was not up to the task. Fish was good, but the composition sas strange. The Maultaschen were very... meaty.

Very nicely located right on the stream. However, the terrace with 7 tables is very tightly furnished and is suitable for a maximum of 2 guests each. The staff is quick and attentive. You can also pay by card and use the WiFi.

Delicious food and wonderful location

Super delicious food 😃 Had a lot of fun there ☺️

We were there today and were asked to pay by a very unfriendly waiter, even though we still had full glasses. The reason was that the table was needed even though there were still 2 tables available. We and our friends no longer visit the restaurant.

Food and service of exceptionally good quality. Very clear recommendation.

Be sure to make a reservation and treat yourself here for dinner. presentation is amazing.

We ate at Forelle on Tuesday evening, June 13th. Forelle, extremely tasty and friendly, uncomplicated service, thank you very much!

The staff was above-average friendly and the atmosphere was generally very sweet, but if you make a reservation you are only allowed to stay for 2 hours, as the next guests will then take over the table. In addition, we were seated directly between the entrance door and the kitchen door, where there was a lot of activity, which made a relaxed atmosphere impossible due to the constant hustle and bustle of the waiters and guests. The old, small benches were extremely uncomfortable and allowed absolutely no legroom, further detracting from the stay. In addition, the food for €30 per person was not convincing. The fish and roast were good, but the boiled potatoes were oversalted and very watery. The onions on the roast were also partly mushy. Overall, the food was edible, but it certainly didn't justify the high price.

Delicious food, great ambience and always worth a visit.

Unfortunately it's no longer what it used to be.

Business lunch with 6 people, we are received very friendly and seated at a beautiful table in the historic room, aperitif and ordering go smoothly, the service staff are motivated and professional, greetings from the kitchen are simple but beautifully presented, the wine selection is well thought out Starters tasteful and well prepared, main courses as well, price/performance ratio is absolutely right, high-quality digestifs on the house, we will definitely be back, thank you very much! Terrace is also very inviting but only has a few seats.

Very tasty fish dishes in an attractive atmosphere. However, as a guest you feel more like an annoying addition

Arrogance, you can't get a drink without food on the street tables, no go

If you want to go out for a delicious meal in Ulm, you are always in good hands in the Fischerviertel. This is how we ended up in the trout for the first time a few years ago. Completely spontaneous, without reservation... You have to be lucky sometimes. The restaurant itself is really quaint and exudes a lot of charm. The low ceilings, the wood paneling... It's something, it has to be said. The small but nice terrace right by the water also invites you to relax and unwind. The selection of dishes is not huge but completely sufficient to find something to suit your personal taste. If you are looking for 6 different types of schnitzel, this is definitely not the right place. All the dishes we ordered, be it the “variations of smoked trout” or the “onion roast with red wine sauce and butter spaetzle”, everything tasted incredibly good. The service was always polite, attentive and courteous. That's the way it has to be! We will definitely come here to eat more often.

The location is really very nice. Unfortunately, the food wasn't entirely convincing. The reason for this is that you have to accept a relatively long waiting time from ordering to serving. The portion sizes of the dishes are sufficient, but unfortunately they are relatively carelessly prepared. Unfortunately, it should be added that the cheese sparrows that were ordered were not available and the potato salad consisted of whole potatoes rather than slices. The price for the dishes is at a very high level. I'm happy to accept this, but not under these circumstances. On the positive side, however, it should be mentioned that the Kässpatzen were replaced immediately and the staff is very friendly. In conclusion, it should be said that the restaurant was significantly better before the change of ownership. Unfortunately I can't give a recommendation here.

A beautiful restaurant in the middle of Ulm, with a nice atmosphere and delicious food. Thank you very much, it was a lovely evening with you 🤗

Really good food, great ambience because it's in a great location. Super friendly staff. It just took a while until someone came

Super friendly staff and delicious food.

We received a very friendly welcome from the staff and felt very well looked after throughout the entire lunchtime. As expected, the food was very tasty. I will gladly come again.

We ate at the Forelle today and had fantastic fish on our plate twice. We also improvised for our daughter because she doesn't eat everything. Service and cuisine were top. Thank you for that.

Nice restaurant with super nice service and delicious options to eat. We've been there twice and would definitely recommend!

It was very nice there and the food was very tasty

Impolite! After you have ordered drinks you are rudely asked if you would like to eat something else...if you don't immediately say yes, the boss is asked in a completely empty restaurant if you can stay to drink wine etc....were former Regular customers sent away. Never again! Lowest level.

Great - we were just there for dinner. Quality very good and really very good service. Unfortunately it doesn't happen often anymore - it does here. Thank you at this point and see you next time.

Charmingly atmospheric restaurant, in building dating from 1626. TripAdvisor says that it's closed but it was open today, I just ate there! Pike-perch and prawn main course was excellent, large portion size too.

The ambience has remained wonderful, but unfortunately the prices have become high and the portions have become more manageable. There is also more to the taste; my fish, for example, was too spicy. We hope that this will be adjusted/improved over time and that we will continue to rely on the Ulm audience.

Great restaurant, great service and very good food. Had the trout Ulm style and it was a dream!

Mixed feelings. The atmosphere is actually absolutely quaint. The trout is delicious. The accompaniment to the trout is loveless. The cheese spaetzle was bland. What significantly detracted from our experience was the service boss, who caused absolute unrest. You can't curse in front of your guests and display your displeasure like that. This is much more professional!

Excellent cuisine, the dishes were all super delicious! The portions were big enough but not huge. The Fischerparkhaus is also relatively close. The team was absolutely friendly and attentive, thank you!

Uriges Lokal und herzlicher Service mit kulinarischen , Köstlichkeiten und dazu ein Kellerbier oder eine süße Weißweinschorle-perfekt!

We wanted to try the newly opened Forelle and reserved a table there for Sunday evening. The reception in the restaurant was unfortunately unprofessional and unpolished, and the reservation had also disappeared. The restaurant is only half covered. Despite several free tables, we were then assigned a cat spot between two couples with a distance of 30cm on the left and right because they were too lazy to set a table and preferred to all lean over each other to optimize walking. We then moved on. Bad start for the new trout.

We arrived on the 2nd day after the new crew opened. The food was fantastic! Fresh Müller trout with parsley butter!! Small but very elegant menu with regional and international ingredients. The service very hospitable. Highly recommended!

Yesterday on Valentine's Day we were back at the Forelle for the first time since it reopened. The reservation went smoothly and we were assigned a nice table for two. The new chairs are significantly more comfortable than before and the ambience is rustic and dignified; The only thing we noticed negatively was the somewhat stuffy air. The order was taken quickly and we didn't have to wait long for the three courses we ordered. The quality of the food needs to be highlighted here. Everything is prepared by hand, without any additives. The hand-scraped spaetzle are immediately recognizable as such, the meat was on point and there was no grainy broth or other convenience products anywhere. It's a shame that something like this has to be mentioned separately, but it's hard to find in Ulm or in the Fischerviertel. A poem about Swabian cuisine. Many thanks to the whole team!!!

Cozy restaurant with really tasty food.

Today my daughter and I had dinner in the “new” restaurant “zum Forelle”. The facility is very comfortable. The menu is kept concise, making it easier to choose. We chose fish dishes. Everything was prepared from fresh products, was divinely delicious and decorated -->a picture for the gods. The service was excellent, the waiters served us quickly and attentively and were not intrusive. We were very satisfied and can recommend it to everyone! ...and be sure to try the crème brûlée dessert with red wine ice cream😉!

Tolles Erlebnis durchwegs! Die Forelle auf den Punkt gegart mit einem sehr guten Weisswein genossen. Vielen herzlichen Dan dem Personal für einen tollen Service im ausgebuchten Restaurant. Preis Leistung stimmt hier absolut

A very nice restaurant, everything was harmonious, friendly staff and the food was very good.

Die Speisekarte bot eine beeindruckende Auswahl an frischen Fischgerichten, die alle mit saisonalen Zutaten zubereitet wurden. Wir entschieden uns für die Forelle Müllerin Art und wurden nicht enttäuscht. Der Fisch war perfekt gegart und zerging förmlich auf der Zunge. Die Beilagen und Saucen rundeten das Geschmackserlebnis perfekt ab. Das Personal war äußerst aufmerksam und zuvorkommend, und die Wartezeit auf das Essen war angemessen. Wir genossen das Essen in einem gemütlichen Ambiente und fühlten uns wie zu Hause.

Ganz tolle Küche,wunderbare Lage.Sehr freundliche Bediehnung.

Leider ist die Forelle mittlerweile geschlossen und es wird renoviert. Es soll in ca. 3 Monaten mit neuem Besitzer wieder geöffnet werden.

Leckeres Essen, freundliches und nettes Personal

Gemütliches, uriges Lokal. Wir haben sehr gut gegessen und auch der Service war top. Wir hoffen, nach dem Pächterwechsel und der Renovierung bleibt die Qualität in Küche und Service erhalten.

Ein einzigartiger Ort um gut zu Essen.. leider schließt die Forelle.. ich bin sehr traurig

Just what we wanted. GREAT trout and meal. The Wishing Table appetizer was the best. And the service was simply impeccable. Also had a great time just relaxing and watching the people go by. .

Sehr schönes Restaurant mit sehr freundlichem Personal und leckerem Essen 😋

Very good restaurant. The fish was fresh (I usually don't order trout, as there are too many bones, but I decided to try it and it was very good - despite the many bones, but that's unavoidable). The dorade royal was also excellent, and the wine as well. Picturesque setting, beautiful bridge nearby for lovely photos. Highly recommended!

Excellent restaurant, it’s right on the spot, in front of the river, but contrary to your common sense is not a tourist trap, food is really good, service is quick and friendly and portions are generous. Typical German food well executed.
