Café Maldaner GmbH — Restaurant in Wiesbaden

Writing a review for our visit on the 4th of February 2020, approx.3PM. If it was possible, I would give this place 0 stars, just to reflect the aftertaste which we were left with after visiting the cafe. The first impression was very positive, as on that day I specifically came to Wiesbaden to Cafe Maldaner in order to celebrate my Birthday, as the reviews and the video clip on their website promised great atmosphere and excellent food. The interior is actually very interesting and we got seated right away as well. However, shortly after the first positive impression started fading away. The waiter who was in charge of our table (a man of approx. 40 years old, brunette, dark eyes) came to us every 5 minutes and with an annoyed face threw a question at us "Not ready yet? Is it so hard to order?". When bringing each dish he also looked irritated, which made me feel very unwelcome in such cafe with so-called "high reputation and standards". But the end of our stay just killed the last joy after a piece of cheesecake with berries barely lifted my mood (just a little reminder that it was my Birthday...). After making our payment with card (which this man was also angry with, since, apparently, we should have told him about it from the beginning), he opened his wallet and was waiting for tips! You should have seen a look on his face after he (surprise-surprise) did not receive anything from us...I have never seen such a mixture of unpleasantness from one's face at people who he serves...He looked as if he was completely displeased and even disgusted with our presence there. I could not wait a second longer to leave Cafe Maldaner. Feel very sorry for my ruined mood on my special...

The restaurant is really good and the food always tasty. I come often to have a breakfast or some sweet cake and always welcomed. But today i asked for a table inside for only one person and have been told that all tables are booked and I need to call few days before to reserve one table inside. I was really surprises but did trust the guy.

I had a table outside which was okay but not so comfortable because of Bees 🐝 that disturb and get in everything in the table. I really couldn’t enjoy my breakfast.

And suddenly too many people came, couples, group of persons and even one person and asked the same guy if there is a place inside, he was sure from himself and said to them that of course there is place and they can check it theirselves.

Oh my God, I was really shocked because i didn’t expect it. And even, a couple came after asking for a place inside getting the answer ‘ I don’t really know but u can check for sure and have a place if any table is free’

Everything happened while i was sitting two tables to the entry.

I find it unfair and even not equal considered even the guy was really nice to me and respectful in his saying but in his way of treating people.

It is not taken personal but this kind of people classifying disturb everyone especially living in Germany here that all people are equal.

I hope the manager or the person managing the place to see my review and react for it, at least this kind of behaviour won’t be done with any other...

If I could give 10/10, I would give it. It's a 5/5 no doubts. Atmosphere... Is amazing. We needed to wait about 10 minutes before we were seated, but it was all worth it. We were so excited. All the surrounding it's something special, I felt like I was in some kind of movie. It just some special and magical place. I don't drink coffee usually. But here coffee was so good. And the cute little pies, omg.... It's very high quality. I'm pastry chef myself. I know what I'm talking about. Nothing to much, the balance between sweet, bitter, sour it's just perfect. I red some comment, it's to sweet. I totally disagree. It's perfect. It's not to sweet. Every detail is amazing. If you are visiting Wiesbaden. It's a MUST to visit this magical place. Music is amazing. Staff is very professional and friendly. Prices are also very very good. So good luck. And I will definitely come back to have my special time with my loved ones. Like I had...
