Walderdorffs — Restaurant in Trier

Bistro Waldersdorff, located in the picturesque city of Trier, certainly offers an inviting ambiance and a menu that won’t break the bank. However, given its lofty top 10 ranking on TripAdvisor, my visit left me feeling that it's somewhat overrated.

I started my meal with a Strawberry Colada, and unfortunately, it didn't quite hit the spot. The alcohol was too pronounced, overpowering the fruity flavors that should have been front and center. On the flip side, their homemade iced tea was a pleasant surprise—refreshing, well-balanced, and just what I needed.

For dessert, I decided to try the Bienenstich (Bee Sting) cake. It was okay—sweet and decent, but nothing to get excited about. It lacked the depth and richness I usually look for in this classic treat.

The highlight of my meal was definitely the Fish and Chips. The fish was cooked to perfection with a crispy, golden batter and tender, flaky meat inside. The chips were also nicely done, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It was a comforting and satisfying dish that showed the kitchen's strengths.

In summary, Bistro Waldersdorff offers good prices and a cozy atmosphere, but it doesn’t quite live up to its top 10 billing on TripAdvisor. It’s a decent place for a casual meal, especially if you stick to their solid options like the Fish and Chips and skip the cocktails in favor of their...

Amazing restaurant with unobstructed view of the Trier cathedral!

We got a table in the ''first row'' and even though there was no shade, the staff offered us to move the table under sunbrellas and make our stay a little bit more comfortable.

We opted for appetizers only as it was a hot day and they were all delicious! The falafel was crispy on the outside and moist inside, chicken skewers nicely spiced were so soft they were melting in my mouth, the meatballs in tomato sauce were exquisite, octopus salad unbelievably tasty and tender, and plums wrapped in bacon served more as a desert to us than appetizer, nevertheless also a good choice.

While waiting for our food, which came very quickly anyway, we enjoyed watching the bustling square in front of the cathedral, sipping wine. The choice was extensive, with some very good wines.

Service was good, nice and fast, kind of friendly but a bit distant with customers at the same time. We paid with a card. Visited...

We initially thought the restaurant was closed since upon entering the building the left side of the restaurant (Astoria side) wasn't open. However we were kindly made aware by one of the staff members that the other side was also part of the restaurant and was open. This part appears to be the bar-bistro part and had a nice relaxing ambience.

The staff was very attentive and friendly. We ordered for starters the asparagus soup, octopus salad and a patatas bravas. For the main, we had salmon steak, pulled beef burger, ragout and the wiener schnitzel. The octopus was tasty and very tender. The soup had a good asparagus taste and the patatas bravas were okay (tiny bit salty). The salmon steak had a nice crust and was juicy. The pulled beef burger and ragout were tasty. The schnitzel had a nice thin breadcrumb layer.

Overall, loved the service and...
