The best restaurants serving German food in Plymouth South West

Great range of drinks to try from. I love the vibe of the market, it’s gotten so vibrant, especially on Saturdays! We often try a bit of everything at the market and sit with a cider from Hop Hatch who are happy for us to sit at their tables even with food from other stalls. Super friendly and make for a great Saturday afternoon.

Very underwhelming experience. We arrived for our booking only to be kept waiting at another table for 10 minutes as the couple at our table had apparently overrun their allotted time, however given our experience I imagine it had more to do with their terrible organisation. It wasn’t until the last minute in our holding pen that someone bothered to take a drinks order. Then we got moved to our actual table and apparently disappeared into thin air. Completely forgotten about. We’d had plenty of time to look at the menu, so were able to order pretty quickly. But an hour wait for some very mediocre and uncomplicated starters is a joke. Few slices of grilled halloumi on some shredded iceberg lettuce, some olives and pitta and a portion of scampi (which would have been about 2x main portions in any other restaurant!) Would have been quicker, cheaper and less painful for me to stop by a supermarket, make it all at home, and bring it back to the restaurant. Plates eventually cleared and the waiter asks if we’d had our main courses yet… 🤦🏻‍♀️ They eventually turned up and, credit to the chefs, were absolutely delicious. Generous portion sizes, too. As you may guess, we didn’t bother with dessert and paid the bill at the bar on the way out - didn’t have another 3hrs to wait for it to come to the table. Overall a massive shame as the food tastes good but is completely let down by abysmal service.
