After being in Germany for almost two weeks, this was the first German food that I absolutely…read moreloved, every bite. The stuffed cabbage in broth was super hot with a tangy but not too tangy broth that was delicious. The fried potatoes were perfectly cooked with slices that were crispy outside, but not inside and seasoned just right. The salad was fresh too. I also shared some of my wife's grilled sausages that were very nice. I was getting tired of boiled food. The menu said she ordered red sauerkraut. There was a warm type of sauerkraut that was also wonderful. The host couple were very friendly and though we and everyone sat outside (perfect August weather for anywhere), the inside is totally charming. This was a great place to eat right next to the Old Bridge Towers!!

Easily the best meal of my time in Germany. I had originally set my sights on the nearby…read moreSchnitzelbank, but scheduling didn't work out. In hindsight, I'm glad it didn't. Walking in felt like stepping back in time. I doubt much has changed about this place in decades, and that's entirely a compliment. We were seated near a window and the ambiance was everything you'd want, cozy, warm, and genuinely inviting. I loved the feel of it. Our server was very kind. Her English was limited, but she was gracious and patient as I attempted to speak German, and was generous enough to tell me I did well. It added to the charm of the whole experience. Now, the food. The potatoes that came with the schnitzel were the best German potatoes I've ever had. The schnitzel itself was delicious, exactly what you'd hope for. The cheese spaetzle was a highlight as well, rich and satisfying. Plan on sharing it. The one miss was the pizza my sister-in-law ordered, which was fine but felt out of place. Stick to the German classics and you won't be disappointed. Would love to return if I ever make it back to Heidelberg.

Our dinner was really good. We did have reservations. We even enjoyed some non-alcoholic beer. We had apple strudel for dessert, which was also really good. We were staying at the hotel, so just had to go upstairs after dinner. For the hotel - the only difficulty was the check in. We weren't sure where to go to check in. So we ended up asking the wait staff. We walked through the restaurant with our luggage to the the check in desk. Our room was comfortable and homey. The door required an old fashioned key to open. You can't beat the location being right by the old bridge.

Such creative fresh conceptions of German food! Not the heavy, sauce-laden, starchy German food one finds commonly. The restaurant seems to have an Alice Waters vibe using local produce and herbs. We had sea bass cooked in a light saffron sauce, pasta with local vegetables, an asparagus salad in a soft balsamic vinaigrette, and finished with a warm brownie situation and a panna cotta experience. As an added bonus, they really know wine and are happy to guide those uninitiated into Pfaltz wine culture. We had a nice Pinot Blanc, know as Weisser Burgunder. The restaurant is crisp and clean but not antiseptic. It's lovely. I recommend it.

The Zum Ritter deserves its place in history with so much richly preserved art and craftsmanship both in and out. Our front desk, professional, Sam, was easy to meet, at once comfortable and welcoming. When we returned late at the end of our first day of touring, Sam greeted us and asked if we might like a tour of the hotel. Somewhat tired, but eager to understand, we accepted the invitation. Sam poured us a glass of champagne then let us through various elements and aspects of the hotel. such a rich history. The hotel has withstood time through fires and war, unlike so many of its counterparts in the area. But it has been so intentionally and carefully preserved after so many hundreds of years, is a rich treat. Onto the actual accommodation... The rooms have been renovated, and while keeping much of their old world charm have modern windows and clean lines. The bathrooms are also modern and clean, functioning and well and comfortably. The breakfast offering at 17 Euro is more than good. They offer a full German breakfast along with fruit, eggs and bacon. Coffee is available in your room. BTW The scrambled eggs are the best I've ever had! You can opt for a room with windows out onto the lively square or one that opens to a quiet residential corridor or back alley. Either way a cool and gentle breeze will blow through to aid in your sleep and repair after even the warmest of days ,(rare, and still easy to manage, in spite of the fact there is no air conditioning). For an interview who traveled in old world Europe, and been interested to sample a historic accommodation, you know they often do not have lifts. Fear not, as you're covered with a nice lift in the Zum Ritter. In summary, peaceful, authentic, friendly, well positioned, stately and comfortable. What more could you ask?
