"With this lovely bistro, Thorsten Bender offers an alternative to sein, his restaurant right next door. The place has a stylish and lively feel; the terrace in the courtyard makes for an irresistibly romantic setting in summer. The commitment that the owners bring to their work is palpable – both in the delicious regional cuisine, which includes classic and modern dishes, and the inviting and pleasingly laid-back service under the direction of the lady of the house. Good food is accompanied by wines at prices that won't break the bank. At lunch, the reasonably priced set menu draws a crowd. Tip: Adjacent to the bistro is the intimate and stylishly cosy Séparée. Here, a six-course set menu with wine or non-alcoholic pairings is served to up to 10 diners at the communal "Community Table" – can be booked Thu-Sun evenings." - Michelin Inspector

Bistro Margarete in Karlsruhe has a lovely ambiance with an inviting atmosphere and attentive service that makes a good first impression. However, the food experience didn’t quite live up to the setting. The dishes were beautifully presented but leaned more toward visual appeal than actual depth in texture and flavor. The beef tartar, for example, was overpowered by a mustard-like sauce that made it taste more like a salad than a proper tartar. The ox dish had decent flavor but the texture was quite tough, with noticeable interstitial fat that congealed unpleasantly as it cooled. Another point to consider is the pricing—nearly 20 euros for a small 0.25L glass of red wine feels excessive, especially for casual diners. If you decide to visit, it’s worth coming for the atmosphere and service, perhaps sticking to lighter options or drinks while enjoying the ambiance. Be aware that while the presentation is elegant, the flavors may not match the price point, so temper expectations accordingly.

Excellent service and super high quality food. Chef & waiter came out and talked through the menu and offered suggestions in a friendly, low pressure way. Very nice, quiet ambiance.

We had the lunch menu which was tasty, and the service was great! They have a peaceful yard where you can enjoy your meal when it’s sunny weather.

Wir hatten gestern einmal wieder einen schönen Abend im Bistro Margarete. Der Service ist sehr nett und angenehm. Auch für Vegetarier gibt es eine gute Auswahl. Ich würde die Küche als bodenständig gehoben bezeichnen. Wir waren zu fünft, hatten alle vier unterschiedliche Gänge, alles kam gleichzeitig (was zwischenzeitlich in der Gastronomie erwähnt werden muss 😂). Das Essen war super, das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis ist absolut in Ordnung. Ich freue mich immer wieder, ins Margarete zu gehen.

Wir waren sechs Personen und haben einen Tisch für das Silvestermenü 2026 am 31.12.2025 reserviert. Wir alle sind noch immer sehr begeistert von der Qualität und Zubereitung der ausgewählten Speisen. Der Service war sehr angenehm, unaufdringlich und mit dem absoluten Blick und der entsprechenden Aufmerksamkeit für die Wünsche der Gäste. Wir kommen gerne wieder und dies bestimmt nicht nur am Silvesterabend.

Ein super netter Ort das für die gehobene Küche ein sehr angenehmes Preiswertes Lokal abgibt. Der Service war sehr freundlich und aufmerksam. Das Essen sehr fein und trotzdem aufgrund der Auswahl der Gerichte Bodenständig (im positiven Sinne). Das Lokal ist sehr modern und schön gestaltet und es wirkt sehr gemütlich. Für einen gegebenen Anlass eine absolute Empfehlung.
