Restaurants, cafes and bakeries in Costa Calma

The Karpfen sits on the Alter Markt, the old market square of Eberbach, and is hard to miss: its front is covered in sgraffito pictures telling the history of the town, made in 1934 by the artist Richard Hemberger at the suggestion of the innkeeper of the day, Karl Sittig. The house was built in 1804 and has stayed in the same family ever since. Its forebears ran a large timber business, and the inn grew out of hosting the forest owners who came to trade. Over the decades a guest house was joined to the main building, and in the 1990s the family bought the half timbered house next door, one of the oldest in town and once a guild house. Large parts of both are listed. Today it is a hotel with around fifty rooms and a restaurant, where the kitchen is led by master chef and junior owner Patrick Jung. The cooking is regional and changes with the seasons, and the house names its sources: beef from Hesselbach, asparagus from Schwetzingen, wild garlic picked by the team and fresh trout from Friedrichsdorf. The autumn menu shows the style, with pumpkin soup, clear beef broth with bacon semolina dumplings, homemade Maultaschen, ragout of game and venison medallions from the Eberbach hunt with poppy seed Schupfnudeln, braised veal cheeks, turbot from the grill, and vegetarian dishes such as spinach and ricotta ravioli. Desserts include apple fritters and a vanilla crème brûlée. In summer the terrace spreads out across the market square. Cyclists on the Neckar route are welcome to stay a single night, with a lockable room for bikes. The restaurant opens in the evening early in the week and from midday at weekends.

Konditorei Café Viktoria

Eberbach · Cakes and pastries · Cafe · Breakfast

Friedrichstraße 5-9, 69412 Eberbach

+49 6271 2018

Café Viktoria is the old pastry house of Eberbach, on Friedrichstraße in the town centre, a short drive from Allemühl. It began in 1886, when the master baker Heinrich Strohauer opened a small bakery with a wine room. His son turned it into a café and wine tavern in 1923, the third generation took over as a master confectioner in 1954, and in 1958 the business moved into the building it still occupies. Since 2022 the Camaj family has run the house. The house speciality is the Viktoria von Eberbach torte: fine sponge with a soft cream filling and a note of orange. It goes back to 1962, when Heinrich Strohauer attended a banquet at the Swedish royal court and was taken with an orange dessert served there; a year later one of his tortes was sent by airmail to Queen Elizabeth at Buckingham Palace. Around Christmas the house is known for its Viktoria Christstollen, and both can be ordered through the online shop. The café has about a hundred seats inside, a garden café with around sixty more and a street café with about forty, the outdoor ones depending on the weather. Breakfast is served every day except Sunday until two in the afternoon, with bread rolls, a sweet pastry, homemade jams, honey, cold cuts and cheese. On Sundays and public holidays a breakfast buffet runs until one, adding fruit salad, yoghurt, muesli, herb quark, boiled and scrambled eggs, salmon and tomato with mozzarella. Tables can be reserved, and groups of more than ten are catered for by arrangement on the phone. The café is open daily without a closing day, which makes it an easy morning or afternoon stop on any day of a stay.

Gasthaus & Pension Grüner Baum

Eberbach · Balkan grill · Mediterranean · German home cooking

Neckarstraße 51, 69412 Eberbach

+49 6271 92400

The Grüner Baum is a small family run inn with guest rooms on Neckarstraße in Eberbach, on the river side of the town and a little over four kilometres from Allemühl in a straight line. The family describes its cooking as Mediterranean and German, with a strong thread of homemade Balkan grill dishes, and puts the emphasis on fresh ingredients, good craft and regional produce where it can. The menu reads like a meeting point of those kitchens. To start there are prawns on avocado cream with garlic baguette, goat's cheese baked in pastry with walnuts and honey, grilled peppers under melted cheese, bruschetta, and a cold platter of smoked meat from Croatia with cheeses and warm homemade pastries. The Balkan section is the heart of it: cevapcici, raznjici pork skewers, pljeskavica stuffed with sheep's cheese, a mixed grill plate and a grill platter for two with lamb chop, grilled vegetables, ajvar and djuvec rice, best eaten with a shopska salad of tomato, cucumber, pepper and white cheese. For those who prefer something else there is tagliata, rump steak, calf's liver, goulash, schnitzel with homemade spätzle, pasta such as truffle tagliatelle or spaghetti with mussels, and fish from salmon and gratinated pike perch to octopus. Desserts include homemade tiramisu and a lemon tartufo with limoncello. In good weather the large beer garden is open, and the house sits close to the Neckar. The restaurant opens in the evenings and from midday on Sundays and public holidays, closes on Tuesdays, and takes bookings for birthdays, weddings and family celebrations. It suits families and groups who want a hearty, generous dinner after a day on the river or the Neckar cycle path.

Altes Badhaus

Eberbach · Italian · Pizza · Mediterranean

Lindenplatz 1, 69412 Eberbach

+49 6271 9456406

The Altes Badhaus stands on the Lindenplatz in the traffic calmed old town of Eberbach, about four and a half kilometres from Allemühl. It is a listed building with half timbering outside and rustic cross vaults inside, and the house describes itself as the oldest bath house in Germany. Today it is a small hotel with a restaurant, run by a team that signs as La Grotta. Guests eat in one of three settings: the Badstube under the old vaulted ceiling, the half timbered Fachwerkstube on the upper floor, or in summer on the town terrace under the lime trees of the square, where the house also serves coffee and cake in the afternoon and keeps drinks going for cyclists and walkers. The kitchen calls its line regional and Mediterranean, and the current menu leans clearly Italian. Starters include beetroot carpaccio with burratina from Bari, anchovies and nuts, vitello tonnato, beef carpaccio and a seafood salad. Among the pasta dishes are orecchiette with meatballs and a beef roulade in the Apulian style, gnocchi with mussels, beans and pepperoncino, tagliatelle allo scoglio and spaghetti carbonara alla Romana. From the grill come a large bistecca with rosemary potatoes, a beef fillet with Barolo jus and fried chanterelles, and bollito di manzo with horseradish; there is also a pork fillet with pretzel dumplings and a wild mushroom sauce. Children can choose a small schnitzel, tortellini or a pinsa. Tables can be reserved online, and the rooms take private parties of up to fifty people, from weddings and birthdays to company dinners. The restaurant also caters events in Eberbach and the surrounding area, and parties outside the regular hours can be arranged with the team.

Café Rose

Eberbach · Cakes and pastries · Cafe · Vegan

Neuer Markt 5, 69412 Eberbach

+49 6271 8075650

Café Rose is run by two sisters, Melanie and Madeline, on the Neuer Markt in the middle of Eberbach. The address has a long story: an inn has stood here since 1823, the Brauerei Gasthaus zur Rose, where the local Rosenbräu beer was first brewed and where travellers, traders and townspeople sat together late into the night. The sisters took up the name and turned the place into a café built around breakfast, cake and an easy afternoon. Breakfast is the main event, sweet or savoury, classic or a little more inventive, and two of the breakfasts come in a vegan version as well. Gluten free rolls are available with any breakfast, and there is usually a gluten free cake in the display, though the house points out that it has only one kitchen. The cake counter is filled every day with homemade cakes, small tarts and pastries. On weekdays from half past eleven to two there is a lunch bowl that changes daily, which can be eaten in, ordered ahead by phone or taken away. In summer there are iced drinks from iced latte to matcha, and white wine, rosé and spritz for the terrace. The sunny terrace sits right on the square. Inside, a play corner with a toy kitchen and books keeps small children busy, dogs on a lead are welcome and get a bowl of water, and a side entrance, a toilet and several tables are accessible for wheelchair users. Tables can be reserved by phone, email, Instagram or the form on the website; requests for the next morning should arrive by six the evening before. Birthdays, christenings and other small celebrations can be held in the café by arrangement. Payment is in cash or by German debit card.

Uerige

Düsseldorf · German home cooking · Seating indoors · Seating outdoors

Berger Straße 1, 40213 Düsseldorf

+49 211 866990

Uerige combines a working house brewery with a collection of dining rooms on Berger Straße in Düsseldorf's old town. The beer is accompanied by traditional food, from freshly prepared meatballs and rolls topped with seasoned minced pork to crisp pork knuckles and the house version of currywurst. Seasonal hot dishes complement the regular selection, with kale and smoked sausage among the colder weather examples. Pea soup is another house specialty, while the broader selection includes lentil soup, potato soup, goulash and stuffed cabbage. The food gives a visit several possible scales, from a small bite alongside a glass of beer to a more substantial meal. The rooms are as much part of Uerige's character as the kitchen. Copper brewing kettles shape the atmosphere of the Brauhaus hall, while the Rittersaal pairs historic furnishings with beer mugs collected across three centuries. Its own counter, cloakroom and fireplace make it a distinct setting for a private gathering. The Hans Müller-Schlösser room remembers the Düsseldorf writer through bronze heads, colored glass, caricatures and old photographs. In the Handwerkerstube, carved guild symbols and local figures provide another connection to the city's past. Guests can also spend time outdoors rather than choosing an interior room. Tables and rooms can be requested for family occasions or business gatherings, and larger parties have separate menu and buffet options. Brewery tours introduce the ingredients and production process and can finish with a meal at a reserved table.
