Oben Restaurant

My Heidelberg experience completely changed last night after an excellent dinner at Oben. It showed me Heidelberg’s best. From beginning to end, the creativity and honesty of the dishes did not stop. Pork dish was my favorite for the evening and trout for my partner. But the last dish of lettuce and raspberry was simply extraordinary. I visited Heidelberg from Japan where food and seasonality are always considered and I saw that at Oben. I will definitely come back when I’m in the Heidelberg again. What I found I interesting experience also was the payment - it’s bank transfer lol, but nonetheless a great experience.

Amazing restaurant with great food professional and friendly service. Best evening in a long time.

Cozy atmosphere, glimpse into the kitchen, great service and amazing food. Fully recommend.

An amazing evening ! We were here to give a farewell to two great people from our Management Team. We were going for a tasing menu and we really enjoyed every single course. Highly recommended !

Expect the unexpected! High attention to detail, top quality of food in an unconventional, very private setting. Show some interest in their kitchen and you will get in return food with great passion and a regional touch. DON'T COME if you are a "Grantler" or expect a Michelin Star Restaurant to have white tablecloths.

Amazing - Inspiring Gourmet Cuisine at it’s best with a top performing Robert Rädel & Team.

An extraordinary experience and a amazing team punching way above expectations. Highly recommend.

I enjoyed my dinning experience here, and I call it an experience because its was an entire evening, it was a good experience. The food was incredible a few of the dishes served were so simple but where more then the sum of their parts, the pig ear course stands out in the tasting menu for this experience. There were many stand out courses, I would recommend if you are eating with a group, to have more then one of the drink pairings, we had one wine pairing and one non wine pairing, the drinks brought you a sense of what was coming next, but both the wine and the non alcoholic offering paired very well with each course. The service was very good considering the size of the staff, the food was excellent. As this restaurant gets more and more converts, I fear it will be harder and harder to get a table, as the food, the setting and the goals of this restaurant give me the sense that this is an up and coming restaurant that I will see in more and more food posts. A few helpful tips if you want to venture to a truly amazing dinning experience, 1. They cannot accept credit cards because of the location, so it is for the time being cash only. 2. Make reservations in advance. 3. Its about a 15 minute ride, from old town Heidelberg, so plan accordingly. The next time i visit if I can get reservations, I will go with the Non alcoholic pairing and choose my favorite white wine out of the cellar, as you can't go wrong either but the non alcoholic pairing went amazingly well with each course.
