What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Großer Meyerhof offers a solid experience with authentic German cuisine and a cozy, rustic atmosphere that draws in locals. While portions are generous and prices are reasonable, some guests have noted slow service and an average taste for certain dishes. It's a recommended spot for a traditional meal in Freiburg's historic old town.
"Not bad traditional German cousin, nice and cheap beer, friendly atmosphere. There is a menu at many languages.
I ordered pork shoulder, it was okay, and sauce to it was really-really nice. Orders of my friends looked more interesting, so maybe pork shoulder is not in fact the best choice here. Still it well worth the price"

"Overall nice restaurant. Good quality-price ratio. The food is the typical Alsatian-German food, perfect for winter or for a colder evening. I really liked the apple dessert, clearly made fresh.
The service was quite slow, we stood there a good 15 minutes before being shown our table. Besides that the staff was quite neutral… not very friendly nor rude. Not a life-changing experience but still reccomended."
Arianna Conte
"The food is OK here, taste nothing special. Big portion.
The atmosphere is chill outside. The staffs are friendly."
