DIE METZGEREI — Restaurant in Mannheim

Update: food still 5/5 I got to try the breakfast setup (the Paris one), very nice! Salmon was my fav, and then the small portions but abundance choices would fill you up in the end.

The other thing i tried was their autumn specials. A pumpkin aperitif was okay. But the pumpkin flammkuchen was amazing. My friend also got the rouladen and said it was one of the best meal he had.

Food:5/5 I ordered the lasagna bolognese (got myself a box of salad since it was a lunch time promo) and a slice of Frankfurt crown cake. The lasagna was superb, i liked it. Good portion, meaty bolognese, consistency of the the tomato as well as the bechamel sauce was great, and on the bottom there was this crusty layer, i would guess it involved some cheesy layer - wow, me likey.

The Frankfurt crown cake was great, at first i thought it was too sweet but not really when you got the jam layer, it was pretty well balance. The buttercream was light, and the nut layer was great.

Will try for other menu later in the future.

Service: 5/5 It was quick and to the point. I can see that they were quite busy, despite the pandemic situation, which was a good signal for them. On my visit, there was a lady who seemed to be a regular and the staffs were greeting her politely, super nice.

I tried to make an order in german but maybe my german was unrecognizable that the owner just switched to english 😂 but i think the positive side is that the foreigners can rest assured they can converse in english...

We had a booking issue at another restaurant close by so had to come up with a last-minute idea while visiting Manheim. We are lucky that we found this beautiful little spot super close to the Rhine River with great service and delicious food. We didn’t have reservations so they accommodated us as a walk-in at 7:30 PM. We were lucky to get the last table and are very happy that we did so. They specialize in traditional German food, and I would classify this place as a casual spot with a very homey feel. Pricing is also very fair.

The menu has a lot of great options on it and the portion sizes are quite large. Being our first visit, we wanted to try some of the more popular dishes and went with our waitress’s recommendations for the entrée. To start I had the Beef Carpaccio, which was pretty good. Being that I’m Italian and I am very specific on this preparation and it wasn’t quite as delicious as some other versions I had in France during this trip, but still, I really enjoyed it and I’m happy that I ordered it. For my entrée I chose the Die Metzgerei Cordon Blue, which is two schnitzels, in between hearty ham and cheese. It came with a side salad and honestly, I couldn’t even finish all of it. The flavors were great, it just was a lot of food and I got through about 80% of it. We did not leave hungry and we really had a nice meal. I would recommend to anyone visiting Manheim and would stop in again next time...

Stepping into Die Metzgerei in Mannheim, I was immediately drawn to its unique concept of combining a restaurant with a butcher shop. The rustic yet modern ambiance creates an inviting atmosphere that sets the stage for a comfortable dining experience.

I opted for one of their meat-based dishes, given their specialty. While the flavors were satisfactory, I found the execution to be a bit uneven. Some elements of the dish were well-prepared, while others lacked the same level of attention to detail.

The service was friendly and attentive, with the staff making an effort to ensure a pleasant visit. The concept of being able to purchase meats from their in-house butcher shop adds a distinctive touch to the dining experience.

However, it's worth noting that the menu could benefit from a broader selection, especially for those seeking more options beyond meat-focused dishes. Additionally, the pricing seemed a bit on the higher side for the overall dining experience.

In conclusion, Die Metzgerei offers an interesting blend of a restaurant and butcher shop with a charming ambiance. While there are areas for improvement, such as menu variety and consistent execution, the concept and atmosphere make it a worthwhile destination. With a few adjustments, Die Metzgerei could enhance its appeal to a wider range of diners. My experience aligns with a moderate...
