"The wine restaurant “Zum alte Goten” is located in the oldest half-timbered house near the town, dates back to 1392. The house served for centuries as a residential house and was only restored by the operator pair with a lot of attention to detail and remodelled to the restaurant. There are two guest rooms, both original with a lot of work and all kinds of decoration, tables and seating do not fit into the ensemble. Very original the wine room of the “old Goten”, which seems to be driven into the back of the rock wall of the workshop. Here you will find some good drops of various excellent local wineries. The boss is a trained and tested culture and wine ambassador at the close and is happy to advise you on the selection. Food: The kitchen offers regional “reinterpreted” in seasonal change. What should not be missing for me is the piece of meat fried above the open fire, the “Obersteiner” spit roast. The spirits are divorced over the meats, whether pig, beef or lamb is “original”. The recipe that usually approx. 4 to 6 cm thick meat batches make “Obersteiner”, is almost everywhere in Idar Oberstein: depending on whether cow, pig or lamb, whether high rib or fillet, the meat is marinated with pepper, salt and onions for several hours and then grilled over open fire on beech or oak. My companions, among them the well-known restaurant critic “PetraIO”, had homemade noodles with Ratatouille ?€ and the peasant salad with fresh leaf salads, roast potatoes and bacon at €9.90. I chose the “Obersteiner” from Entrecôte to €19.90. To this end, for women, a wine-growing wine from the winery Zehmer Bad Kreuznach at 3,50 € in advance and as a wine recommendation a well-tempered Grauburgunder from the winery Sinß from Windesheim at 4,20 €. I was content with two soft beers because I was classified as a chauffeur. Rating: There was nothing to complain about both dishes of my companions and the wine recommendation. But my "Obersteiner" didn't rip me off the stool. I had chosen for the entrecôte, I was looking forward to a nice batch of meat from the high rib and was amazed, one only approx. 2cm thick disc, also not just oversized, estimated to get 220 to 250gr , served. The meat, finely marbled with small fat rim and beautiful fat eye was qualitatively fine, but not evenly roasted to the point and thus cut and bite sometimes tenderly solid as well as dry and juicy alternating, a point only in the middle. Very well seasoned and with the smoke aromas of the open beech fire it tasted perfectly. Supplemental salad and foil potatoes as well as garlic dip were fine, spicy radish salad was added on request – without calculation. Service The service was very friendly, the operator's pair has solicited us to the table and proudly answered questions about the traditional factory house, the wine range of the wine cellar and also about the history of the spit roast. Drinks and food came after a pleasant waiting period."

"Most amazing place. My first experience with this place was over 20 years ago when my family was stationed here with the military. Jump to 2017 when my partner told me we would be coming to Germany to revisit this town. Well the only thing I had on my mind was the Greek Restaurant (I couldn 't remember the name. When we showed up one of the staff in formed me that the original had burned down and the new location was built. Well that night was my first experience dinning here again since a child, an WOW the staff along with the meals were amazing. Fast forward to this evening. 11/24/19 Again we are back the only difference is we brought my mother. Again I can 't express how amazing this place is. We didn 't have a reservation nor did we call to check if they could even seat us. We walk in are greeted with such a warm welcome by the man behind the bar. Then this lovely young lady ask 's how many of us and finds a place for us. We ordered a Gyro plate , the braised lamb shank with eggplant and the musacka plate. All of it was great. The atmosphere perfect. I hope and pray that I will be able to enjoy this place again in my life time."

Sehr schade wie der Laden abbaute. Unterirdisch inzwischen! Meal type: Lunch Price per person: €10–20"

"Ich bin hier schon seit Jahren Stammgast. Toll ist es, wie sich das Restaurant in dieser Zeit entwickelt hat. Das Ambiente ist richtig schön geworden und der Außenbereich lädt in der Sommerzeit zum Verweilen ein. Auf den Ersten Blick sieht auch ein Leihe wie ich, das hier viel Herzblut mit eingeflossen ist. Das Auge isst mit und so…. Die Speisekarte wird ständig erweitert und lässt mich immer wieder etwas Neues finden. Ich wurde bisher noch nie beim „Probieren“ enttäuscht. Eine große Auswahl an Burgerspezialitäten, einfachere Gerichte wie Schnitzelvarianten, tolle türkische Spezialitäten die man nicht im Dönerladen findet, bis hin zum Idar-Obersteiner Spießbraten. Für die tollen Nachspeisen sollte man sich immer einen kleinen Platz freihalten. Meiner Empfehlung ist die Grillplattet für 2 Personen. Das Fleisch zergeht im Mund. Einfach zum „reinlegen“ (dafür ist sie dann doch zu schade) Ich denke bei dieser Auswahl an Gerichten kann wirklich jeder etwas finden auf. Die Herzlichkeit der Inhaber zieht mich immer wieder auf die Lay. Vielleicht trifft man sich bald dort!"

"Tuvimos la suerte de haber compartido nuestra primera experiencia con una buena pareja con vínculos con Grecia; Así que tomaron la libertad de ordenar una maravillosa variedad de platos auténticos, griegos, cada uno más sabrosos que los últimos. El personal era muy amable y atento ... sin haber visto el menú, no puedo decir con certeza, pero el restaurante Poseidón no parece de ninguna manera, se parece a muchos de los otros restaurantes étnicos en Alemania, con su cocina pseudogermanish y decoración. ; El Poseidón se sintió auténtico desde el núcleo. Definitivamente volveremos con amigos y familiares. El lugar es muy grande y tiene una gran terraza para los meses más cálidos. Asegúrese de reservar una reserva con mucha anticipación, ya que este lugar es popular"
