Brasserie Ignaz — Restaurant in Verwaltungsgemeinschaft Konstanz

We went this place twice in a day, lunch and dinner.

Food for lunch: Tomato Creme soup - hearty, nice and hot, soul-warming

Bouillabaisse - smells a little fishy when it arrives, but oh well it is a seafood based soup. 2 good quality prawns, around 10 small to medium sized black shelled mussels, some red-skinned fish I couldn’t identify. Sides were baguette and potato salad. Felt it is a little overpriced for what I got but I guess seafood is just expensive in Germany. Still enjoyed it though, prawns were the highlight but sadly only two of them in that pot.

Schnitzel - Nice, large, thin piece of fried pork in crumbs. Crumbs were really nice and crispy, pork doesn’t smell weird like the other schnitzel I had in some other restaurant in Schwarzwald (I actually start hating schnitzel because of the smell that time). Sides were fries and salad.

Food for dinner: Crunchy pork belly - we actually came back because I want to try this on the menu and also the waffles we missed during lunch as we were rushing to another place. Pork belly were crunchy on the outside and soft and fatty on the inside. Didn’t felt “too much or too oily” towards the end of the meal but I think my salad compliments well to it. If you choose fries as the side might felt too oily eating them together. The sauce reminds me of some Chinese sauces that I had but it is actually samjang based sauce. Overall I like this light dinner I had for myself.

Flammkuchen - this is my first time trying this dish and I liked it a lot. It tastes almost like a thin pratha with cheese and onion toppings on it. Crispy, cheesy, oniony. A great snacks in my opinion.

Waffles with cream, ice cream, caramel sauce - this waffle is on the menu but we asked the staff if we could twist it a little bit by substituting it with cream because I love cream on waffles so much (even though there were already ice cream and might felt a bit too much). But you know what, the Chinese best compliment to a dessert is that it is not too sweet. And that is my comment on the waffles I got. Good balance of sweetness from the caramel sauce, the cream, and the really nice ice cream. Waffle itself is soft and fresh. I would go back again for waffles for sure if I could and I think the price point is also great. If you research enough, many other restaurants have even pricier dessert. Hence I think the waffles are of good value to money.

Service - prompt and friendly, staff also speaks English despite no English menu provided.

Ambient- really nice and comfortable, felt high end.

Reservation - do come with reservation made ahead of you do not want to wait too long. We were lucky to get a seat for late lunch even though there was no reservation made but we could tell that it is indeed a popular spot for meals. We also walked in for dinner the same day and it was full so we just sat on the bar...

We recently visited this restaurant, and it was one of the most disappointing experiences of our lives. We waited an entire hour for our food, and not a single staff member bothered to come over and explain the delay. It felt like the serving staff simply didn’t care about the customers.

When the food finally arrived, the wait was absolutely unjustified. The steak was the only acceptable dish, but the schnitzel was a complete nightmare. It was so dry that it was impossible to chew, and there was hardly any meat inside—just some tasteless breading. We even wondered if they had served us something that was past its expiration date.

The restaurant's interior does look nice, but that doesn’t save the situation. If we had come just for the atmosphere, that would be one thing, but we came to eat! The cocktails were also underwhelming—we expected bold flavors but got nothing but muddled sensations.

Overall, I would rate our experience a 1 out of 10, and that’s only for the interior. I do not recommend this restaurant to anyone who values quality service and delicious food. It's better to spend your money elsewhere, where you will truly be appreciated...

Stopped in Konstanz and stayed very close to this restaurant. We saw the rankings on TripAdvisor and menu so we wanted to give it a try. When we arrived an hour and a half before the kitchen closed on a Sunday the restaurant was full so we had to wait for a table. The staff was obviously upset that another table was showing up because they had begun closedown routine. As we saw people leave over 30 minutes staff refused to make eye contact with us as we asked for a table 3 times. We finally were sat down after being persistent out of spite at this point. Food was decent but staff made the entire experience a negative.

We thought it may be a one off and again loved the menu so we went back for breakfast the next day. This time it was same kind of experience with a different staff member. Seating available outside but the waitress seemed disinterested. We asked for a baby seat but didn’t get it until after our food arrived and was getting cold. Food again was decent. GREAT menu, terrible...
