"I first visited Idstein last fall at the suggestion of a co-worker and was disappointed when Zur Peif was closed. The pictures and reviews on Tripadvisor drew me to it and we did eventually get there a couple of weeks ago with some relatives who were visiting from the States. It was cool and rainy so when we went inside it was a welcome respite from the elements. Iris, the owner, took care of us and she was a lot of fun--she engaged us on the history of the house and restaurant, the local Hessian cuisine, and the Jazzfest in July among other things. We asked her for recommendations and they were all good. The service was very good as was the food, just not spectacular, hence 4 stars. For what it was, traditional Hessian food, and I don't mean that in a bad way, it was very well prepared and presented. I'm glad we found Zur Peif open, I enjoyed our meal there, it was very reasonably priced, and the atmosphere and service were extremely pleasant. I would definitely go back."

Nice staff, very fresh salad but the vegetarian options are limited. The quiche wasn't good. But the rest superb.

The restaurant is serving traditional local food as well as drinks. You can seat outside as well.There is someone who speaks english and can explain you the menu, as it is only in german. The dessert is also very good - the apply pie with vanilla ice cream was delicious. The food is really good and well served.

Hi,The restaurant is a great place to experience real regional cooking like Handkäs mit Musik. That is not only German food it is regional Hessen food. Try a glas of refreshing apple vine mixed with soda (sauer gespritzter) or if you prefer get the sweet mix. The historic location is at the central place in the old town Idstein. They also offer snacks and small dishes.

It is said to be a high class reataurant for excellent food. The food was good,but the service was only average referring worse.We sat in front of the empty plates for at least 20 minutes and nobody cared.We askes for new beverages and nobody cared.The waitress avoided to look at our table. So our friend and I waited for a very long time to get our beer.The place and the surrounding were great but that was all. We left the restaurant and were very disappointed.The owner of the restaurant is also not an example of friendliness and she should be one of course. View menu

I really recommend this small but really beautiful place in the historical Aldstad of Idstein. Everything has the taste of traditional home kitchen, from the furniture to the dishes. Different options from German kitchen where to chose from and a nice blackboard with the dishes of the day, all from the area and all fresh made.The spargelcreme with Salmon that I had was more than delicious, so was the pork meat with strawberry or ribes sauce.The service was helpful and friendly and they tried to explain us the information of the main dishes also in English.Allow yourself some time cause the dishes are made at the moment and so they can take a while.

I stayed in Idstein for one night on my way back home to London and the hotel recommended Zur Peif in the centre of the town. When I arrived the place was full except one table and Iris the English speaking owner seated me immediately outside amongst around 20 other tables just off the small town square. and recommended the local beer which was wonderful. There was a menu and a specials board and Iris recommended the Beef Soup and Lamb Casserole both of which were outstanding (especially the lamb) . Looking at the other diners who appeared to be German everything looked fresh and typical of the area and there were not many empty plates !The service was relaxed but efficient and the cost of t...
