All food seems to be made fresh. This is the kind of spot one could get stuck at hanging out at for hours and hours and forget the time. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Great place to be social!

This was one of the first places I was introduced to when studying in Germany. It has a very cozy…read moreatmosphere. To me it was the sort of place that once you were done with your food you'd still want to linger a while. The schnitzel with fries was always my favorite, and I seem to recall that it was reasonably priced. For gourmet food and upscale ambiance, you'd want to go elsewhere. But if you want some place that has sort of that neighborhood feel (although it's basically in downtown Mannheim), I can recommend Zentrale.

Excellent spot for first dinner in town. Nice outdoor space and cozy indoor dining…read more They do have menus in English, however, we didn't opt for the revised menu. Started with a nice large Radler and a coke. Service was excellent and patient. We made it thru the first day in DE with a good meal before crashing from jet lag. The restaurant was very clean including restroom, which was down a flight of stairs. Friends recommended we try Alter Simpl and glad we did.

This restaurant stood out, because the menu had many choices of things we wanted to eat, as well has having the classic restaurant feel. We were impressed at the food, happy atmosphere and friendly service. I look forward to going back here again and again.

Was in Mannheim for work and brought my kids with me. My wife wanted to try authentic German food…read moreand so I looked up. We went inside at around 7:15 pm on a Tuesday night and asked for a table and the lady said straight on my face "we don't have any tables and kitchen closes at 9". So, just FYI, if you ever wanted to give this restaurant a try do your damn reservation. I am a globetrotter and I understand reservations are preferred but when you travel it is impossible to do reservations unless it is a super fancy restaurant and you planned it way ahead of time. I do not normally get that attitude and restaurants are generally open to making space for new customers or tourists but not this one, anyways lesson learnt!!!

Dobler's is definitely a rare gem in Mannheim…read more I had the chance to grab lunch there one day, and was so pleasantly surprised by the impressive 4-course lunch menu. To be honest, we were a bit liberal with the bubblies and wine paring throughout the meal... I cannot recite every single ingredient in the 4 courses I was served. But I can say in full confidence that every dish, every bite, contained fresh and perfectly cooked ingredients drizzled with sauces and garnishes that balance, expand and deepen the flavor. I am definitely looking forward to return for dinner one day. Note: "Muss(t)" make reservation - as the locals would say.

We came here when we were hungry from a day's walking around Mannheim's shopping area. We wanted…read moresomething simple to hold our hunger, so we ordered soup and some appetizers. I got the waldpilzsuppe (regional mushroom soup), which I liked, but bf wasn't so lucky with his Asian-inspired Thai-Kokossuppe (Thai coconut soup), which lacked flavors. However, the portions were big, so we were pretty stuffed when we finished the soup. The appetizers were not good. We shared the fried chicken nuggets with curry dip (forgot the German name) and the schafskäse (German baked sheep's cheese with vegetable). The chicken was overfried to the point of inedibility (if I were a food critic, then I would have sent it back to the kitchen), and the schafskläse was simply too heavy even as an appetizer. Perhaps we made less than ideal choices for our meal as they had pizzas we saw nearby looking tastier than our food.
