"I'm not keen on negative reviews, as everyone is entitled to an off night, bit the experience was pretty shoddy. Was a busy Saturday night in Saarbrucken, World Cup quarter finals playing everywhere... and we were a party of 7 that hadn't booked anywhere on...an overnight stop over. We checked with the restaurant if they could take us, they said yes and led us to the table. Staff were pleasant and helpful. This was about 8pm. We ordered drinks, food, one of which was a mixed platter of cold meats as an entrée. The mixed platter arrived an hour later. An hour. For sliced cold meat. The waitress was apologetic and as we were in no rush (at that point), we just ordered more drinks. The platter was pretty average, but then we'd just come from Italy where Antipasti, Salami and Cheese is infinitely better. By 10pm there was no sign of the mains. We asked when the dinner might come and the waitress said she would check. When she came back, the response was that they couldn't tell when they would be ready, but not soon... and that was it. This is 10pm. Two hours after coming in and being told they could accommodate us. The outside tables of the restaurant were busy, the large inside pretty empty. We chose to pay (a lot, because it's pretty expensive) for what we'd consumed, and left. Shame the staff in the restaurant kitchen didn't care as much about their customers as the waitress did, but even so... a shoddy service, elevated prices that simply benefits from its location in central Saarbrucken. There are better alternatives all around the centre, some of them much better value too. I'm sure they have better days... But if you want to get a reliable, quality service at a good price... Maybe don't choose a Saturday night at Gaathaus Zahm."

Gusto Steakhouse

"I was already a guest at the Gusto at the Saarbrücker Toto House and very satisfied. For some time now there has been the “Gusto on the market” in the heart of the city, St. Johann’s market. Today we came to five. Originally designed only as an annex to the Gusto on the Saarufer, the small restaurant – as I learned from the owner – is now the main house and the restaurant on the Saarufer is closed. Ambiente The “Gusto” is located on the corner of Fröschengasse Saarstrasse only about 30m from the St. Johanner Markt. The modern stylish furnishings, a mix of American steakhouse and Spanish tapasbar, inspires a warm Mediterranean atmosphere. If you sit directly in the entrance area of the restaurant, you can observe the passing “old city visitors” and the driving in the alleys by space-high sprout windows. The restaurant is friendly and light-flooded, more comfortable and more cozy in the rear part of the “Gusto” you reach through a hose-like passage. 4 star service We were operated by a male service: friendly, attentive and competent. Of course, I asked all sorts of questions about the food, especially the steak, the “failure sign” of the small restaurant. We found that the head of the house also appeared several times at the table, vaccinated and proudly gave information about the origin and preparation of the dishes. Here you take time for the guest; this is what you like. The foods and beverages were very flotted, in between it was always asked if everything was right and if we had any wishes. I like to review the service with 5 stars. Food The steakhouse offers a rich range of tapas and antipasti, salads, salmon gambas exquisite meat rarities, especially proud of the “Dry Aged Beef”; this US Black Angus Steak has to “dry” in a special refrigerator for at least 4 weeks and thus gets its distinctive extraordinary taste. But also the other steaks from Black Angus are not to be despised and so much already look in advance for their equal in Saarbrücken and the surrounding area. My choice was a US Black Angus Steak (vacuum ripened) 300gr for 28,80 € with BBQ Dipp and Bratkartoffeln as well as a small salad at 3,40 € My four companions had tomato chili soup at 4,80 € US Black Angus Steak 300gr for 28,80 € with homemade herbal butter and roast potatoes Gusto Burger with Pommes at 12,80 € All ingredients were of 1a quality, well selected and absolutely fresh. The preparation of the dishes can be called a perfect craftsmanship. My well-hanged (wet aged) Steak was an approx. 5 6cm thick splendor of meat, a true pale man's maus, very finely massaged and wonderfully aromatic, masterfully prepared, sharply roasted on both sides on the lava grill perfectly and accurately spot medium, it was extremely lean, wonderfully juicy and very delicate in the bite. There's nothing to stand out. The homemade BBQ Dipp, not too fiery and not too lazy, the roasted potatoes, well selected small potatoes, cut into columns and roasted with the peel crispy pink. The side salad, mixed with zucchini slices fried in olive oil, olives, radishes, tomatoes, various leaf sores, crunchy fresh and with fresh herbs on top, was refined with a delicious parsley dressing. Conclusion: 100% recommended. Not exactly cheap, but worth every cent. For steak friends in Saarbrücken a must, but also a long way worth it"

Viva Zapata

"If we were in the cinema movie house, it occasionally happens that we then land in the Viva Zapata either inside or in the warmer season in the beer garden. The Zapata is open on all weekdays from 18 1 or on weekends from 5 pm; Mi, Do and Fr also from 12.30 p.m. There are now several tapas bars in the city area, but Zapata was the first gastrooper of this kind years ago. There are delicious cold or warm tapas here and also the one and other special dish. The slogan of the company is: El amor entra por la cocina Love comes in through the kitchen. Today we found a table of our choice after the 18:15 performance; ten minutes later this would no longer have been possible because other cinema visitors were hungry. We have eaten Pulpitos Fritos baby ink fish, Gambas Pil Gambas in garlic sauce , Vieras con cilento Jakobsmuschel in herbal oil , Jamon de pato con pera y balsamico Smoked duck breast on caramelized quinces and of course Chorizorunico con patatas Paprikawurst with Bratkartoffeles but then the fry The tapas here are as much as you know from Spain's vacations, unless you were in tourist pubs; really authentic, although the kitchen crew comes from Sri Lanka or an adjacent country. The service staff students had grown to the guests' assault. The drinks and tapas came flott, emptied bread baskets were quickly refilled. Wi are very well saturated but without feeling full. After the next movie house visit we come back. The price/performance ratio is as much as possible; it could almost be assumed that the prices here are abstimjmt with those of the other tapas bars. Cleanliness: It is not as clean here; under the tables there's already a waste. And the tables are sometimes not properly wiped and still dirty. There is a need for action here. In the rest: Viva Zapata!"

"For one and a half years there have been Galicia Tapas at Saarbrücker Bliesweg; before, there were only a very normal beer pub and then a Peruvian who could not last long. Maybe too much guinea pigs on the map? The present host is a learned cook and comes like his wife from Galicia. He really intensively engages in the advice of his guests in the selection of tapas and explains the preparation of the same really very vivid. So the guest really feels like being welcome, which is not the case everywhere. Read more about the local area [here link], here you can also find the complete menu, while the wine card is, in contrast, very close to negotiate. Sorry. Ambience: I am very spontaneously thinking of the concept. Small guest room, small view-protected outdoor seating; that's it, too. As the host tells us, he has to reject many guests who like to eat with him every day for reasons of space. Yesterday this was not the case; we were included with a total of seven guests, but a table for ten people was covered for 21:00. If possible, you would like to put the kitchen at the latest in the coming spring and where it was still possible to set up another guest room. The Galicians seem to be a very singingly pleasing little wolves and to have an inexhaustible treasure of melodic folk songs. From this, we initially only disturbed the volume of background music; at our request, she was dimmed and then was really very good to hold. A little galic decoration on the walls; When did I last see a knotboard on the wall in a place? For the ambience I forgive two and a half stars; it is not really homely here from the equipment. Cleanliness: Everything very clean, even the very small wet rooms. For disabled people, however, access to this is extremely difficult and impossible for wheelchair users, because to the toilets there are many steps down into the basement and an elevator unfortunately there is not. For cleanliness, I have four stars. Service: Today there was apparently an aid service; very friendly and flow quite unaware of the knowledge of food preparation. Again and again, I have to ask the boss, or there the boss has to come, who then stood at the table and gave the desired explanations. Now the menu has no zig pages but is limited to a truly manageable number of dishes. It should therefore be possible to expect that even an auxiliary force can shake at least the type of preparation of the food and its components from the sleeve upon request from the guests. This was not the case here, and for that, I forgive all three stars. Food and drink: My wife had as a drink Sangria EUR 5.00 for about 0.4l), our daughter Refresco grande, a kind of non-specified alcohol-free scorle; EUR 4.80 for approx. 0.4l, Espreso EUR 2.20) and Capuchino EUR 2.50). I wanted to take some vitamins to me and ended up with Estrella Galicia 0,33l, EUR 2,90); This beer should contain, at least on the homepage of Galicia Tapas, very much vitamin B. Which is why it didn't stay in a bottle. As the host told us, he imported everything he offers from Spain. Others put on quantity, I set on quality. And it obviously has its price here, with some food being put too high in view of the rather modest little portions. We had gradually on the table: Pimientos del piquillo EUR 9,90), Pulpo á feira a la gallega) EUR 13,90), Conejo con dátiles al Brandy EUR 11,90), Calamares EUR 13,90), Patatas alioli EUR 4,90), Albóndigas EUR 6,90), Champinones ajillo EUR 6,90), Sopa castellal EUR 6,90). Where tastefully everything was very authentic and fine. My personal highlights were the Sopa castellana, a bread-bone soup, with stripes of the Serranoschinken very picant and well seasoned) and the Pulpo. boiled in water, with undamaged patatas cooked in the pulpo water and, of course, also very well seasoned. The conejo prove rabbit was also very good to me overall but a trace too sweet. In contrast to the field bunny, the meat from the rabbit is already slightly sweet and also the sweet dates....; a bit sweeter overkill. By the way, I didn't taste a pair of wings at this court. In addition to the Pulpo, my two ladies also liked the Calamares, the mushrooms with plenty of garlic, and the small red patriarchs filled with navy apples. Also the mixed salad should have been good. Not so the Bringer were only the Patatas alioli ; there I prefer the pommes available there with Majo on almost every french bud. Since the price goes under price/performance ratio and not here, I can award good four stars for food and drink. Price/performance ratio: two and a half stars. Pulpo, rabbits and Calamares are definitely too expensive; These prices are well represented for larger portions, but not for small quantities served here. Conclusion: The La Paella offers more of the price/liability ratio and, as we have always been very satisfied with the quality of the kitchen, Galicia Tapas is not likely to become our tribal spade."

"In addition, on our invoice there was a champagne that we neither ordered nor drank, whose price almost put the price of our entire dishes in the shade, but later more. Days ago I was opened by my wife that on Friday we had a meeting with daughter and son-in-law to eat in the Roma. I was very pleased, but I thought the occasion was the upcoming flight of our Kurdish Turkish-style son-in-law to his relationship in Anatolia; that was not so, but our daughter currently has vacation and so we could meet at noon under the week. We met at the Roma's own car park, where the well-known German nobel brands were already plentiful; the SUV Porsches were in excess of AMG tuning Mercedessen and thick Audis, with normal car bodies like ours, you're getting quite noticed; . With the elevator went up to the Roma, we were welcomed by as always very friendly junior chief; my wife showed him her vaccination card and according to the motto pars pro toto, we were considered to others three with it as well. Since today there have been certain reliefs in the Saarland in Corona; However, this so-called Saarland model has culminated our CDU mini-preser Hans and his Council of Ministers in another state. Among other things, there is no masking obligation in restaurants, not only for guests but also for the staff. However, the masculine junior boss told us that the staff would continue to be on the go with mask during the coming days; the new regulation is not so well known and one wants to meet possible irritations and complaints from the guests. Careful is the mother of the porcelain box! We were led to a very nice one (in the last report I spoke on the occasion of a table covered by value. On the left of us, five noble widows sat in the fine twist, to us an older couple, who was more busy with his two smartphones than with spices and potions, to the right a three-stripe and, of course, there was no shortage in our restaurant area of business lunches. What we deserved, I don't know, but even the senior manager, who otherwise only directs the word to his busibussi guests, normal people as we don't respect and otherwise silently stands around like an oil grave in the front restaurant area, came to our table at some point, greeted us and asked if everything was to our satisfaction. Duck! Oh, what about Corona? In addition to the ubiquitous junior, three ladies and two men were in service; all well trained forces. I don't have to say more about the service, I have already reported on the ambience and the perfect cleanliness (see there. My wife drank a mineral water Morelli (0.2l EUR 2.50 and then a glass of the Taunus mineral water bottle ordered by our daughter (0.75l EUR 7.00). I drank as aperitiv a Karlsberg Ur Pils (0.25l EUR 3.00). Having had no good experiences with the Lugana San Benedetto offered here, I tried it for dinner this time with a Pinot Blanc Cantina Terlan, South Tyrol (0.15l EUR 5,90 ; according to the wine map splashy, mineral, dry . it meets the point. As a digestif I took a Glenlivet for EUR 8.50. We were somewhat surprised when paying for a bottle of Ruinart Rosé for EUR 145,00; the error reads, but flees from the world. The Ruinart most likely had the funny widows at the side table, who probably read it in memory of the abyss of one or more of the spouses, otherwise properly crashed; I had previously seen reddish in one and other of her glasses. By the way, this Ruinart costs in shopping, I just wobbled, 63 68 Euronen, so on the wine card with EUR 145 it is still fair. When ordering food, the spirits divorced; Ms, daughter and son-in-law decided to spend the lunch table at EUR 24,00. As an appetizer there was a salad bouquet with bresaola ham, tomato and parmesan (for the son-in-law or pasta with tuna and peas (for woman and daughter. The pasta, the savoury roast (I was allowed to take a sample bud and also the salad bouquet with hints were very good; the Dorade was no longer completely deaf. Shame; I would have let her go back, he didn't, but half of the fish passed on to his wife. My wife had ordered the Cassata for EUR 10,00 as a dessert; She was not really happy with that. The nuts and rumours that belong to the Cassata could be counted on two fingers; The reference model in Cassata remains for us the corresponding offers with our body and stomach Italian or in the dogana . As an appetizer I had fresh pudderlings alla crema on baked polenta in cream sauce for EUR 15.00. Two or three euros less would have done it here, otherwise this court was the absolute hammer for me; I don't know when and where I would have ever eaten such a polenta! This appetizer has made me gratinated scallops, Fines de claire or what else you take here as a starter smoothly. I have already had the best experience with filled rabbit parts; it was in the past filled rabbit back with Gnocchi it was today filled rabbit lobe with vegetable rabbit farm on Fregola Sarda (Pasta for EUR 27,00. Greatly prepared and very beautifully presented dish; extremely tasty. I had apparently pulled the big lot twice at the table today. If the Dorade had come a little fresher and the Cassata with more candidates, I would have forgiven five stars for food; in spite of everything, it will be four and a half. Conclusion: The Roma is still really recommended; it is not without reason for more than 40 years now! P.S. I almost forgot the kitchen. the first kitchen is standard here: two kinds of bread, three bowls; Content: very good olive oil, small black olives with core and sea salt. The second kitchen floor often changes; Today it was a spinach mousse with cubes from cod."

"The Krua Thai (in German Thai cuisine by Mrs. Vichuta Rotjanawanit is not the only Thai restaurant on Mainzer Strasse, but surely the most famous. Those who want to visit it should have better reservations in advance, because it is not great and especially in the evening full to very full. The restaurant has Monday's rest day around and offers a not too extensive menu under the week (Di Fr changing lunch menu at very civilian prices. greetings are made by women in Thai costumes and with Thai greetings; you will be led to the table and the ladies also take over the further service. When the order is received, the desired degree of sharpness (from mild to hell is also requested for each dish. Service bottlenecks are not available; every guest is very well looked after. Each table is lovingly decorated with real flowers, leaves and grasses; here as well as in the service, the boss personally puts on hand. Pleasant floral decoration accompanies every single served dish. The decoration of the rooms is also abundant: statues (king Rama, Buddha, etc.), wall paintings (street elders, monkeys and other getiers, thin curtains as a kind of room divider between the individual tables. Anyone who has studied the menu can turn to the view of the walls, one or the other perhaps the whole decoration is a bit too much. Food: We have a plate with finger food mix (meat, fish, shellfish and then Gai Phad King (bonus-prig-fried duck breast with garlic and vegetable pan as well as Thai scented rice, Ped Krob Kratiam Phrik Tai (breaded chicken meat with ginger and vegetables, Gluai death (baked banana in honey and Khao Total price: EUR 63,50. Apart from the fact that the duck, like unfortunately in many Asian restaurants, was so well done here, everything was perfect and tasteful. I know the Thai cuisine of several stays on site quite well. Krua Thai is not as strong as other Thai restaurants; our dishes were pretty close to the original. We were completely satisfied with the bids and are happy to come back, especially since the price/performance ratio is also very good."
