"Scharff’s Schlossweinstube A restaurant inside Heidelberg Castle was never going to be modest or inexpensive, and Scharff’s Schlossweinstube is nothing if not upscale. With classic parquet flooring, sparkling chandeliers, and stucco ceilings, it’s romantic and refined, its Baroque decor only outdone by its Michelin-starred fare. Informed by classic German and French techniques, head chef Martin Scharff serves local favorites like Swabian ravioli, as well as roast duck, unique dishes such as veal kidneys, and a delicious cheesecake with raspberry sorbet, all perfect for pairing with an extensive selection of international wines. If you’re not looking to splurge, try the neighboring Bistro Backhaus, with a more rustic appeal including vintage furnishings, a huge baking oven, and a casual menu of coffee and cake. It also features a shaded terrace and the same wine list as Scharff’s."

We came for a daylong tour from our Rhine River Cruise. After visiting castle, we were brought here for lunch. We were almost 160 of us and we were seated in three big rooms. Out 160 guests, 4 of us were vegetarians. It was a set menu with wine and beer. We were served veg pasta which was very good. The service was impeccable in spite of so many guests. We saw on walls some pictures of this restaurant winning some big awards. Keep it up !!

My husband and I and a friend visiting from US had a wonderful dinner here. Food was outstanding! The strawberry, basil sorbet gazpacho was the star! Holy hell, it was amazing! We did the 6 course Klassik menu and our friend did a 5 course Vegetarian menu (she doesn’t like fish or venison)—and they did wine pairings. Both menus were solid and the flavors were distinct, surprising and delicious. The dark chocolate ice cream with pop rocks dessert was a perfect way to end the meal. Service was good but not great for a Michelin restaurant. Just not as polished (bread plate missing, serving dishes on both sides of you, sometimes pouring water-sometimes not) as expected. Our initial waiter who was great vanished during the middle of the meal, never to be seen again. We got lucky and there was an orchestra playing John Williams music in the castle courtyard. We got to hear most of the concert from our window-side table. However, they had to close the window next to us and only open little top windows in the other bays so the audience wouldn’t hear “clinking utensils”, which made it very hot and stuffy and made it uncomfortable. At one point, the noise from the kitchen was shocking…dishes clashing and banging and utensils clanging. It impacted the wowness factor of the vibe. All in all though, a memorable night with great food.

Recommended for special occasions! We've been here multiple times and have always had a great experience. The food is excellent, service is attentive and helpful, the views onto the castle courtyard and the old town from the castle balcony are jaw dropping and, last but not least, the wines (we've taken their recommendations for each course) have been good to superb. We were there last night and enjoyed the Heidelberg fireworks with a glass of champagne to finish the evening. What more could one wish for! It's not cheap but I feel the prices are reasonable for the meal quality and the amazing location.

We went there last night for a dinner with my girlfriend. We had few things to celebrate and wanted to try this one star restaurant in Heidelberg. - Location is really nice, I have been in this corner few times and this is always beautiful - Food is at a really high level, fitting perfectly the one star Michelin and price are fair for a 5 courses menu. The girlfriend is gluten intolerant and they took good care of that. - Service is however far far away from what it should be... We had two different waiters not really following up or giving us a personalized experience. We had to ask two times for getting bread for starting, had to wait one hour for the first course, then waiting time were ok but the waiters were not really taking care and just running all over the place. We could see from the other guess that the wine were also not following on time, people always had to ask for that. That is not so good for a one star Michelin restaurant. All in all we had a nice evening, food is great but the service is far away from what you expect. Either the work on that and it is definitely a place to go or you can quickly be annoyed...

We enjoyed a great dinner - the main dish was the weakest element (the reason not to post a Photo) all other amazing ! A good choice of wines ! In case the Standard wine list is not sufficient ensure to ask upfront - almost all possible. That’s called service !

It is the only place inside the castle, and they wouldn't sell anything to go. So, either we miss our guided tour or we just don't drink. I think that is a terrible, sick and disgusting policy, both from this place and the castle. Definitely not recommended

Amazing food!!! Big plus for the relaxed but extremely attentive and professional service. A 5 star experience from start to end!
