Chambao

Really nice restaurant. Sharing concept. We had 4 courses and loved it. Tuna tartar, asparagus icecream, monk fish, ravioli, pulled ribs in taco shell, yuzu dessert and cheese. Together with nice Riesling. Nice and professional staff. Recommend this restaurant

A friend recommended this place, so we reserved a table for three. We were the only guests when we arrived, making the atmosphere very pleasant, almost like we had the whole restaurant to ourselves. I imagine it’s busier on weekends. The food was excellent, especially the starters. We tried nine different dishes, each one a creative masterpiece with great plating, taste, and portion sizes. The service was okay, but the wine took 20 minutes to arrive, which was disappointing given we were the only guests. Overall, if you’re looking for a fine dining experience in Heidelberg, this place is recommended.

We had such a lovely meal here. I have food allergies and sensitivities, so I asked my server for some guidance. The chef himself came out to speak with me and then brought me out a menu he had personally marked up with how dishes could be adjusted to accommodate my needs. That level of flexibility and attention is not something you find frequently in Germany! Every dish was beautifully presented, perfectly prepared, and delicious.

This restaurant is so good! I was happy to get a table without reservations later in the evening. At the time of this writing, 6 courses is €66 per person. Each plate is shared and by the 4th dish I was full. The plating is beautiful, the flavor combinations work and were balanced. My favorite dishes were the spring egg and tuna tartare with spice and passion fruit. I recommend this restaurant for special occasions.

We visited the place as a family and selected restaurant 8 course menu, which offered us almost all dishes. The Guide Michelin recommended the place and the food is tasteful, creative and presentation. However, we noticed that a few of the dishes are NOT balanced in its taste at all. The tuna tartare has a too spicy dip and the risotto was salty. Nevertheless the octopus was delicious, beside several other dishes. The service is really helpful and friendly. Worth a visit, but not for us.

Delightful food, prime location and good service. Chambao offered a shared course menu, which I loved because it gives one a chance to try everything. The food was delicious, more than it looked. Tip: 7 course option was just right for two people, 5 course would be too little to get full. I wasn’t a fan of the only dessert on the menu but other than that it was a great experience and I can see why the Michelin guide recommends this place!

Chambao was the highlight of my stay in Heidelberg. I had to dust off my prior review practice of distinguished restaurants because it was this good to me and my guests. We tried just about every dish and nothing disappointed in the least. The flavors and textures and combinations that were presented before us were fantastic. The chef came out during the second course and was happy to practice his English describing his creations. It is truly memorable, and I look forward to my return trip just to dine here again. We visited other Michelin level restaurants, but I believe this one takes the prize in recent memory.

Cosy spot by the river, food was fantastic with an international feel. Unexpected interpretations, such as the ceviche, asparagus salad, iberico pork cheek etc. Even the home made butter was amazing. We went for the 6 course but ended up adding a 7th. Wine pairing was enjoyable, and the staff were English speaking and super friendly
