This place is directly across the street from the Old Bridge. We wandered by hot and tired mid-afternoon and sat down in the outdoor courtyard. I had to admit my expectations were low. Our server first brought the German menus then swapped it for the English menus on our request. I didn’t see a meal a neighbor had been enjoying... More

I popped in for a glass of wine but stayed for the kaese spaezle. The staff speak very good English (way better than my German) but encouraged me to practice with them. The service was fantastic. I went in early and had no trouble getting a spot, but I suggest reserving a table in advance. The very dry red Austrian... More

We were told that Goldener Hecht has the best schnitzel in Heidelberg. We went there during our vacation in Heidelberg, no reservation was needed as there was plenty of room on the out door seating as well as inside. The restaurant is located near the old bridge in Heidelberg with a view over the famous bridge monkey so there are... More

The Goldener Hecht restaurant is located right across from the end of the old bridge in Heidelberg, and though we ate inside on a freezing winter day, I can imagine it would be very nice to sit outside in the plaza with a nice local beer and some schnitzel in the summer as well. We started with some of the... More

I went here with colleagues who live in Heidelberg and who regard this as the best place in the town to get authentic schnitzels. And, yes, it is. Without a doubt the most wonderful schnitzels - and plenty of other good dishes too. I took my family back there for another meal as I thought they would enjoy the atmosphere... More

Whilst on a River Cruise we took a tour to Heidelberg, rather than take lunch with 130 other cruise-goers at the Hotel Zum Ritter, my wife and I set out on our own to seek a vegetarian meal. We stopped for a Black Forest beer at the lovely Goldener Hecht restaurant, just opposite the famous Karl-Theodor Bridge (the "Old Bridge")... More

On our last trip to Germany I fell in love with German food! After a long trip from Paris to Heidelberg I was famished and ready for some good schnitzel!! Our hotel (Hotel Villa Marstall) had recommended a few restaurants in the altstadt area. After checking out the restaurants on Trip Advisor we were still undecided. Being very hungry we... More

Great location, along the Neckar and closed to the Heidelberg bridge... We had a great plate for reasonable price. Would always return to get regional food and interesting atmosphere .... Good stop to rest from a city trip....

We visited this place with a group of 42 (adults and children) and yes, they knew we were coming. We even met the owner who shared his musical talents with us (make sure you check out his display when you visit). The food and atmosphere is great! If you want good wine, fresh beer, friendly service and great photo options... More
