Wiesbaden Restaurants

When I lived in Hamburg it was easy to find a cheap and good spanish restaurant, finding such a restaurant in Wiesbaden is tricky and forget about cheap!

But if you want to eat real spanish food in a nice and more familiar atmosphere go to Don Carlos. Pablo the owner, cook and –sometimes also - service takes care of his guests. The restaurant offers you a wide range of tapas, fish, meat and vegetarian meals. There is a menu a daily changing offer but if Pablo is recommending something just trust him.

You will find the menu also at his german website (http://www.don-carlos-wiesbaden.de/) including the prices.

The restaurant is located in the “Westend” a walk of maybe 10 minutes from downtown. If you are driving there it is always a challenge to find a parking space. If you make a reservation “Don Carlos” pays half the price for the nearby parking garage.

Favorite Dish: Everything I tried was good and fresh made - so i can't decide what was the best.

Havanna can be found in the very central square in Wiesbaden, close to the Town Hall (RatHaus): it's an easy-access trendy place where u can eat, drink, listen to some music and so on ...
Actually it's not so easy to explain ... but something I always like is large spaces, and Havanna is really large without being noisy or oversized.

Gfs and me made it to the Lodge Restaurant after our very long visit and walk through
the Opel Zoo, which is the only zoo I'm fine with to recommend! Now, the Lodge Restaurant sits right at Opel Zoo's entry, and provids with an awesome atmosphere, food and view! Dining there makes one feeling like communing with wildlife and being into some green where the tense and the tired find true break. This restaurant's menue is simply fantastic! Waiter/waitresses are very friendly! We've had fries, baked onions & mexican vegetable, extra ordinary hash browns , lemon & walnut ice cream, tea & mineralwater. Every meal is worth its price, and also it's worth to do the drive (of about 15mns) from Wiesbaden to Kronberg.

You reach some of the best Turkish restaurants whith the buses 3, 6, or 33, stop Michelsberg. In the street going down to the right or
Wellritzstr.: Harput (not serving alcoholic drinks), and some bistros. Urfa, a few Euro cheaper.
Bismarckring (end of Wellritzstr. to the left): Balkan Grill
From Hauptbahnhof Buses 4, 14, 27, 45 to "Bismarckring". Walking back, on the corner of Walramstr. is the restaurant Cappadocia, from which I reccomend the "Tagesteller", the daily stew, served whith rice, salad and bread for only 5 Euro. And the Habib, in front of the bus stop, where you can have Lebanese food in home made quality; falafel and shawarma are sometimes for only 2 Euro.

The best white bread in town is sold by bakery Firat (turning down left from Wellritzstrasse). One pide (nearly 500 g) for 80 cent.
Other fine baked things are to be found at rather low prices at Günay, on the corner of Wellritzstr./ Schwalbacher Str. There a pide costs only 70 cent and nice specialities to taste are their Kekse whith cheese and herbs (Käse und Kräuter) and nut-cinammon (Nuß mit Zimt) for about 40 cent each.

One of the few places where genuine Uzbek kitchen is offered.
Tasty.

Opens only from Thursday to Sunday, from 14 to 21 h

Favorite Dish: Plow, definitely! Rice whith raisines, carrot, onion and lamb, whith a strong cumin flavour and surrounded whith some tomato and cucumber slices. For 6,50 Euros not too expensive.
Shashliks are also recommandible, each type of meat (liver, chicken, chopped meat, lamb) gets it's own seasoning and are served whith onions and vinegar.
Kasan kebabi (45 Euro for 6 persons) has to be ordered one day before. The chef told me that it is just lamb boiled together whith potatoes.

One for 5,50 Euros is on the left side of Real shopping mall, Bus stop (3, 6, 33) Welfenstrasse
It includes chicken in hot spiced coconut milk Thai style.

Now you'll find "Ba Mim" there, whith Chevapchichi (better than in Mainz) offered in Balcan style. Often it is the imam of the Bosnian mosque who works there.

In memoriam:
Bistro Silam, later Öz Harput in Bleichstr.
If you are bored about all Turkish places having the same food, try this one, although there is no place to sit comfortabily. Here you find some typical dishes of the Black Sea region not offered nearly in any other restaurant. Quality and taste are very fine, also because they make the dough themselves.
You have read wonders about cig köfte but not found them anywhere? Here you can taste them on friday and saturday, for 5 Euro a plate.
Others: Tantuni, Patile, Iskene, Sirin
Manti, Gözleme, Yufka, Döner, liver

Nice, little and lovely restaurant that offers seafood. It's right on pedestrian zone and there for very comfortable to dine at this place while on break from shopping/sight seeing tour. Can't say restaurant's seafood would be extra ordinary yet the lady that serves the food is very friendly, and it doesn't take long until one's order is done.
