Walked into Ygrec after a long day of travel and I thought I had found my oasis. The alluring smell…read moreof spices tickled my nose and the labyrinth of rooms resembling caves made me feel instantly at home. I also heard only German in most of the restaurant, so I considered it to be popular with locals. They did not have an English menu and my downloaded German version of Google translate did not pick up the menu photo, perhaps because there was a lot of Greek, and light was very low. However, if you are willing to be flexible, play a bit of charades, and know some food words in other languages and/or are willing to be patient, you will be able to place an order. The server did not speak English (or German, but I don't speak that very well either.) but with her Italian and my Spanish and French, we figured it out. I ordered the grilled calamari. Prior to the meal I was given a dinner plate as a bread plate with a single green olive in the center and a very small drizzle of some amazing balsamic vinegar. Also placed on the table was a pepper and salt mill. Perhaps I made a mistake by sitting in what seemed to be mostly couples' territory, as I got little or no service once my meal was served. It is also possible that I had hairs in the grilled vegetables - my own hair was pulled back - and it happened twice, so it's difficult to discount that it is coming from the kitchen. Bottom line is that I loved the atmosphere, I think the food is decent, BUT the service needs a lot of work and the kitchen needs to make sure that there aren't foreign bodies in the food. I really wanted to like this restaurant, especially since I will be working in Ludwigsburg, but given my experience, I can barely rate it a two.

Oh my what an amazing place. A basement restaurant with little rooms. Tables decorated nicely…read morewith black tablecloths. Old brick walls and wine stacked everywhere. Our hostess spoke 4 languages, but not English, so we were served by a young lady who learned English at a Greek university. The food was wonderful. We had a mixed variety appetizer with about 8 different tastes and enough for 3 to share. The meals were well prepared and presented. And then there as the excellent wine list. Fine Greek wines at reasonable prices. A good variety. If you need a change from German food, thus is a place you need to go.

The review is for the Guesthouse and Guestrooms at the Orakel Restaurant…read more Very very greedy and dishonest Owner. Came for a wedding in Beilstein and had to change the hotel for 2 nights. Called Orakel a day before and found out the rate was 92 EUR per night for double room with breakfast. The following day wanted to book it and checked the availability on Booking.com, it was 170 EUR for 2 nights (Fri, Sat). At the same time the hotel I was moving out of called Orakel and reserved the room for me. When I came to Orakel in person I was given a rate of 130 EUR per night! When I showed Booking.com rate the Lady at Check In Desk just went to the computer and marked the room as unavailable for online booking and kindly informed me that I can look elsewhere if that was too expensive. This is so tacky to prey on people like that. Since I was in need, I paid, but would not stay again. The pricing policy is too iffy. The room I got was very dated, the bathroom super small old and no toiletries were provided except for hand soap. Not worth the money at all. Needless to say, I had no appetite to try their cuisine.

Had to make and emergency stay in Orakel Guesthouse. The room is loud, windows do not have blackout…read morecurtains and overlook a fairly busy street, so it is not exactly a good night sleep place. They have some prices listed, but they change them as they wish and if they see you are desperate, they will take advantage of it. I was charged 120 € for an old room with tight bathroom and no breakfast, then saw the standard price is 90€. When confronted and shown online pricing they themselves advertise, the owner became defensive and I felt cheated right in my face. Would not stay ever again.
