"A year ago we were in Hambel's restaurant in Wachenheim for the first time. Since we had the visit in very good memory and we now know the Saumagen, we can even say that we are back. It was a surprise from our friends, because Klaus Hambel gave a brief and interesting introduction to the production of Saumagen in the entrance area of his restaurant to the butcher shop. Admittedly, do not stumble via the word, but if you eat it, you like it. Mr. Hampel welcomed the 12 participants with a glass of champagne, of course from the basement of the neighboring city Wachenheim. And then it started. We now know everything (almost) about the production of the Saumagen. Mr. Hampel is a specialist in production and now has several flavors in his offer, which is even exported to Taiwan. I have already said to the report on the restaurant that Saumagen's acquaintance is due to the Palatinate Helmut Kohl. In Deidesheim, Deidesheimer Hof, by Starkochs, the Saumagen by Klaus Hambel, many public guests were presented. Mr. Hambel always solves his conversation with nice anecdotes about Helmut Kohl and other celebrities. It also explains from which meat parts and other ingredients the filling is made and which spices are used. How long and at what temperatures the stomachs are boiled. In the meantime, a fresh, warm classic soap is brought out of the kitchen and personalized by the boss. It tastes great on a bungalow. As further samples we receive a piece of soap with truffles and soaps with sheep cheese and chili. You can buy other varieties in butcher shop such as soaps with plums or with green pepper or with chestnuts (cheese as the plum says) or placed in rum for the cold season with apples and plums. It was a nice interesting hour. Then there was a door to the restaurant where we could enjoy the Palatinate cuisine. Interestingly, the big cook, no bowls and no swimmers; no swamp that understands his craft excellently. The project will always take place on Friday at 11 a.m. But who wants to ask for the dates. This year was the last date on 18.11. The Palatinate Saumagen is absolutely recommended. I have eaten it only 4-5 years after I have met the quality and taste and I am completely convinced. You just have to try the Saumagen."

"We had a superb meal , 7 courses worth certainly at least one Michelin star. Food service and Ambiente were excellent, the setting is superb. Parts of the menu were very Asian style and quite hot. Mention it before ordering if you don't like that! However, we did :)All very good with EXCEPTION of the sommelier where we had the strangest experience EVER: Our second wine was not in good condition. We agreed on this with the sommelier who tasted it as well. He then took it out of the cooler and we ordered another bottle. All good until we received the bill with the "bad" wine on it. We then kindly asked what the reason was (as he took it off the cooler and we didnt drink the wine). At least we would have expected some explanation. The sommelier then answered "well then I take it off", took 75 EUR in cash out of the till and on the bar, then dashed off without any further word. Very very unprofessional. We left the open bottle and the money there and left bewildered.Although such a great restaurant, we will unlikely come back unless we hear back or this sommelier leaves the place. After all, Deidesheim is THE wine place and all is about the great wines here !"

"Eines vorweg: Wer hier nur schnell Mittag essen und dann zurück zur Arbeit möchte, könnte Schwierigkeiten haben. Der Fokus liegt klar darauf, mit viel Zeit ein wunderbares Ambiente und hervorragendes Essen zu genießen. Bereits zu Beginn mussten wir leider 15 Minuten warten, um unsere Getränkebestellung aufzugeben – hoffentlich ein Ausnahmefall. Doch das Essen kam rasch, und die lange Wartezeit wurde durch eine fantastische Vorspeise und exzellente Hauptspeisen schnell vergessen. Das Kokos-Kürbissüppchen, der Pastrami-Burger und die Perlhuhnbrust waren schön angerichtet und mit Liebe präsentiert. Auch die Auswahl an ausgefallenen Getränken und regionalen Weinen hat uns begeistert. Besonders hervorzuheben ist das stimmige Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. Bei unserem nächsten Besuch in der Region werden wir definitiv wieder vorbeikommen. Vielen Dank für das schöne Erlebnis!"

"we were free day with 4 people eating. our reserved table was beautifully decorated, there were the menus and the desire for drinks was asked. the service was very dedicated, polite and was competently available for the choice of wine. the food was fantastic! the appetizer (gratinated goat cheese) was delicious and the salat tasted wonderfully. as main dishes we had red-bellied fillets and ochsenbäckchen and maishuhn - and everything was of excellent quality! the ochsenbäckchen are good for kneeling down!. and that dessert also did not have to hide - we were all full and satisfied, and that at a really good price-performance ratio!"

"Been many many times both for business, wife and family, probably 50 times including lunch and dinner over the time we 've been local. But now noticing issues the last couple of times and especially the most recent 2. Now we all know that this site,...and others, are opinions and not the only information to take notice of, but over the last approx 4 years the Hof has been steadily sinking down the list. Years ago it was the go too number 1 in quality and service, sadly no longer in my experience. Food still above average, but the overall experience is easily bettered, especially by smaller more modest venues. And, as always its the small points that are a disappointment, we had a table for 3, during deciding we had to ask for a third menu as only 2 were brought, we all ordered and asked for some drinks, 2 came and we waited 5 minutes for the third guests drink. Similar when our main courses came, one at a time, by different staff who were confused as to who ordered what dish. Hardly a personal service. The main waitress was extremely hectic rushing around many tables constantly. Maybe they are getting up to speed after the issues in recent months, but we will give this place a rest until we here from our friends and colleagues its back to standard."
