Kommödchen Weinbar & Eventlocation

My new favorite!

First, the service is impeccable. The owner makes all feel welcome. My colleague and I were never here before, but we felt like we were treated as valued regular customers. I would rate the service among the best anywhere. Totally spectacular.

The food was also great. Very nicely prepared and very well presented. A broad selection of menu choices and a nice selection of wines. The Kommodchen signature desert was a very nice surprise!

Contrary to other reviews, I did feel that the prices were quite fair. In fact, I would call it a bargain considering the quality of the service and the wonderful food.

I can not wait to return!

On my few days in Karlsruhe I've had the pleasure of coming here for dinner. This place is definitely a gem. The owner and waiter are extremely nice and attentive. On my first visit, I was worried it would be difficult to order without knowing German at all but they spoke fluent English and had an English menu. The owner came back several times to check how I was doing. I ordered the salad with salmon and king prawns with extra seafood. It was amazing. The food quality is definitely among one of the best, although not Michelin star level but on par with Gordon Ramsay's restaurants. On my second visit as he carried the food out of the kitchen, the owner recognized me from my side view and greeted me by name. Needless to say, if I'm ever back in town, I'll be back.

When my fiance came to Germany for the first time last year we decided to visit Kommödchen as he had found great reviews about it on TripAdvisor. He is US American and doesn't speak a word German. Right when we entered the small but elegant restaurant and talked about where to sit the waiter came and, quickly realizing that my fiance only speaks English, addressed us in perfect English and brought an English menu. It is rare to get service that attentive in Germany and we greatly appreciated that. The waiter was very polite and, although young, of "old school" professionalism with bows and "Sir" and a lot of knowledge about the menu and the ingredients - again, everything in perfect English.

The food - we ordered a seasonal three course menu - was great, and for a reasonable price. We throughoutly enjoyed it and were raving about it for days.
The service was quick. Our waitress who brought food and drinks did speak neither much German nor English but we managed to communicate and everything went well.

I can absolutely recommend Kommödchen to any local as well as tourist if you want to enjoy seasonal delicious dishes and great service!

-- Food: good menu variety. Has almost everything of everyone. Unhealthy just as health option on the menu. Good wine menu as well.


-- Variety: Loads of options for every taste you fancy


-- Service: attentive and very friendly


-- Price: definitely not cheap! Bring cash if you come here.


-- Overall: Due to the price, most of us can't visit this restaurant every day or week, but worth a try.
