"The couple who run this restaurant put everything they have into creating a warm atmosphere and serving seasonal cuisine that draws on regional and Mediterranean influences. The set menu also comes in a vegetarian version. In addition to the cosy, lovingly decorated dining area inside, there are a handful of outdoor tables affording views of the historical buildings of this charming little town. This business is a Slow Food member and is committed to sustainability." - Michelin Inspector

Who would have thought that a restaurant with a name like “old donkey” would serve such a fine cuisine!? We definitely didn’t! 😅 So when we sat down, ready for a PROPER meal after a whole day of exploring, we were a bit surprised by the multiple course menu. But as we were too hungry to turn around now, we went for it. 😁 The pumpkin soup and the two types of deer were fantastic but the bean croquettes and the cauliflower biscuits did not quite hit our favorites list tonight. “Alter Esel” is a lovely location and the staff was amazing bit it was not quite what we needed after an exhausting day like today. We take the blame for that! 😁 For your awareness: If you worked up a sweat the whole day and are ready to dig in to regain your energy this is not the ideal spot… BUT if you want to try dishes with a little twist, prepared with love for a “lighter” dinner than this is the spot for you. 👌🏼😁 ENJOY!!

Second time we go there. Aware of the concept, kitchen rhythm however should be improved, specially when it's a fixed menu.

We had a extraordinary meal at Alter Esel. The restaurant is owned and run by a lovely couple that takes personal pride in offering a lovely atmosphere with cuisine that you don't expect to find in such a small town. The menu changes nightly and is limited in the perfect way, do things of highest quality each night with passion and each bite is sublime. We were staying in the town of Marktbriet with our 3 kids (10, 12, 15) and all five of us went for our splurge meal at Alter Esel. All of us felt that it was the best meal of the trip and one of my husband and my favorite meals in our Culinary memory, certainly our kids top meal.

Sehr schönes Menü. In der Preisklasse hatten wir das aber auch schon mit mehr Überraschungen. Tolles Ambiente, schönes Haus - so schnuckelig. Service war nett und aufmerksam. Wir hatten 6 Gänge und dafür sollte man schon zweieinhalb Stunden einplanen.

Sehr schönes kleines Restaurant, der Service war diskret aber zuvorkommend. Leckere alkoholfreie Drinks. Das Essen war mit Liebe angerichtet und schmeckte sehr gut. Ein gelungener Abend.

Sehr gutes Restaurant mit super Service und hervorragendem Essen. Tolles Ambiente und auserlesene Weine runden den angenehmen Aufenthalt ab. 100% Weiterempfehlung. Alles einfach top!

Sehr schöner Abend. Mein einziger Minuspunkt: warum haben die in der Pfalz nie liebliche Weine? Das Essen war sehr gut, der Oktopus zwar frisch, aber leider etwas fad (ich empfehle ihn im Stück zu Grillen). Sehr netter und kompetenter Service, ich jammere wirklich auf hohem Niveau und würde jederzeit wieder kommen.
