Weinhaus Zum Beichtstuhl

Had dinner there while on a business trip in Mainz. Was leasantly surprised by how nice the old city was. Dropped in on this restaurant as it had favorable reviews. While it has nice outdoor seating, all tables were occupied by groups of friends and families, when asked if there was available outdoor seating, the waiter proposed I sit with one of the groups as this is how it works here . Give my German is rusty and the place was busy with what I perceived to be mostly locals, I elected to eat indoors. The wine list is front and center and you can sample many .

We had heard Zum Beichstuhl highly recommended as a great example of a typical Mainz Weinstübe so our expectations were quite high. maybe too high. The food was fine.

There was a huge portion of Bratkartoffeln and I mean huge (I couldn't finish them). A tad greasy perhaps, but that's a matter of taste. My husband's steak took a long time to arrive.

Every time I am in Mainz, I try to stop by Zum Beichtstuhl, it is definitely my favorite place in Mainz, could it be for dinner or just for chilling with a glass of wine.

In summer it's best to sit outside. Be early(for dinner) oor give out a wait. It's not a problem to share the table with other guests(given enough seats are available) Food is decent, prices maybe slightly higher than other similar locations, but for me all is made up for by the atmosphere of the location(inside&outside). Our service was friendly and spot on.

I cannot follow the judgement of Mr.X and his comical companion lou kull from the mainzer in any way. the focus is on more ambitious cuisine and not on mass as the predecessor. so very good kitchen, not quite cheap, and thanks to the sommelier a fine wine selection. Predikat:Recommended!
