Pretty good spot with a nice shaded outdoor eating area, perfect for a warm sunny day.

It certainly is a solid choice if you are in Karlsruhe.

As a northerner being on a business trip in Karlsruhe is the perfect excuse a for serious southern…read moreGermany food coma. My colleague and I were on a mission to find good wine and delicious Käsespätzle. And at Lehners we did find both. Lucky us. We got even more lucky because it was one of the rare early summer nights (in May!) so we were able to sit on the large summer terrace outside. The restaurant is located in a pedestrian area so it does not get too noisy. But is seemed to be a very popular place so be early or better don't mind to share a table. Due to the busy night the service took some time, but the wine arrived well chilled and the food still hot so we were two happy campers. I definitely recommend eating out here. There prices are really moderate and all the meals around us also looked very delicious.

Really impressed with the food here. Heard it wasn't too good but I took a dive on the Beef…read moreRouladen with Spätzle & red cabbage with apples in it. It was awesome! The steak was tenderized & marinated in homemade German spices. It's stuffed with cucumber, mustard & bacon. The service was really good & the prices were great for the food. The atmosphere is nice near the river. If you're not that adventurous they have pork schnitzel & hamburgers. Would recommend checking this spot out!

The ruins of this castle in Baden-Baden built in 1100 are a popular day out destination. It's a…read morenice walk/drive up to the ruins themselves, and there is a café, serving tea, coffee and cakes. For a small donation, you can climb the still intact tower, from which you will have wonderful views over the Rhine valley, Alsace and the Black Forest. In summer, the ruins are turned into a stage for outdoor plays; I saw a German version of the abridged Hamlet play by the Reduced Shakespeare Company, which made great use of the castle features and was thoroughly enjoyable. Make sure to check what is currently on, as plays are only performed for a short time.

A nice little place to enjoy some tradition German guest house food…read more All main entrees come with a delicious traditional German salad before they bring out the main course. Slightly on the expensive side, but portions are quite generous. I do recommend getting the Klein (small) portion if you do not have a large appetite, as it's still quite a lot of food. My main reason for the 3 star rating is that the service wasn't very good to similar places I've been. They may just be very understaffed, but expect to wait more than 10 minutes to even order- let alone pay the bill at the end. Also encountered a pretty rude and dismissive manager when we attempted to pay inside after waiting more than 20 minutes for the bill. 3/5 Good food and atmosphere Mediocre service
