  • 1. Café Knösel

    $

    Heidelberg's oldest (1863) coffeehouse has always been a popular meeting place for students and professors, and offers traditional Swabian food, pastries, and ambience. A historic change is that the café no longer produces café founder Fridolin Knösel's Heidelberger Studentenkuss. This iconic "student kiss" is a chocolate wrapped in paper showing two sets of touching lips—an acceptable way for 19th-century students to "exchange kisses" in public. They are now being sold exclusively in Knösel Chocolatier, a small, charming shop, owned by the Knösel family, just down the street.

    Haspelg. 20, Heidelberg, Baden-Württemberg, 69117, Germany
    06221-727–2754

    Known For

    • Fresh-baked pastries
    • Cheese platters
    • Varieties of coffees and hot chocolate
  • 2. Schnitzelbank

    $

    Little more than a hole in the wall, this former cooper's workshop has been transformed into a candlelit pub. No matter when you go, it seems to be filled with people seated around the wooden tables (so dinner reservations are usually a necessity). The menu features regional specialties from Baden and the Pfalz, such as Schäufele (pickled and slightly smoked pork shoulder); Leberknödel (liver dumplings); and slices of Saumagen (a spicy meat-and-potato mixture encased in a sow's stomach).

    Bauamtsg. 7, Heidelberg, Baden-Württemberg, 69117, Germany
    06221-21189

    Known For

    • Cozy atmosphere
    • Saumagen (a spicy meat-and-potato mixture encased in a sow's stomach, definitely an acquired taste)
    • Wurst platters

  • 3. Schnookeloch

    $ | German

    This lively old tavern dates from 1703 and is inextricably linked with Heidelberg's history and university. Young and old alike crowd around the wooden tables in the wood-panel room, decorated with historic photos and maps, and piano music adds to the din Wednesday through Saturday nights. From salads and pasta to hearty roasts and steaks, there's a broad selection of food, and beer is served from 7:30 am until closing. Upstairs are modern, pleasantly furnished guest rooms.
