The Flammkuchen is nice (but don’t take the one with snails), and a Michelin-recommended restaurant that serves mains for 12 Euros is something special in today’s world. A charming place for sure, especially the courtyard. But the drawback is, as has been noticed, that tables...and seats are so close to one another that you really sit at a table with strangers, who often get loud, and the entire sound of the place is not jolly busy but annoyingly noisy. A quirky highlight is the toilet: Two doors, gents and ladies, as usual, but both lead to the same room, which has mirror image cabins and sinks. A powerful metaphor maybe, just not sure for what.More

The service and the food here are excellent and its value for money. I would highly recommend this restaurant. They are also being very thoughtful about the Covid situation - tables are well placed, servers are wearing masks. We would recommend this restaurant very highly.

I was there on 8 March 2020 at lunch around 14:00 hour. I was with my whife and my 1 year old daughter. I entered first in the restaurant and my whidmfe with daughter came 20 minutes later because daughter fall a sleep in the...car. Problens started as I arrived: I entred and i saw a weiter behind bar , i go there but he was plaing with the phone and did not even rise his head to me or to say hello - i was standing at half a meter from him. After 2..3 minutes he rise his head to me but in the same time came another weiter and lid me to the table The same sleepy weiter from the bar came and bring me the menu. I told him that i want a starter two times, a soup two times and a fish (salmon) two times and a dessert two times. The two times with the meaning that i want the same dish for me and for my whife - me and her established this before. Arrived the menu: - one starter instead of 2 and also the wrong starter not the one which I order. I order duck and received chesse :))). - one french soup instead of two - that soup is a shame to be called french soup, the taste was under moderate and the restaurant have 2 micheline star .. LOL. - when i ordered Salmon with rise and mushrooms the weiter told me that there is no salmon but dey have cod. I said ok... was only 2 options at fish soo i cudnt choose something else. I belived will cange the salmon with cod but the rest (rise and mushrooms will remain ) but I received actually cod and some vegetable. - the weiter forgot about dessert. I had to order the dessert again we started the lunch at 14:20 and received dessert at 16:50. - the weiter did not even apologise when I told him that is not the right starter and there have to be two starters instead one. - the food taste is a medium range in my opinion, but overpriced and do not deserve the clasification " Good standard" as it is categorised by Michelin. Cod is a ceap fish, at home I never buy this fish because the taste can not even compare with salmon. - when i saw that the desert is still not comming I told to the weiter that he shoulsd asume his mistakes and to apologise and he did apologise in a very rude and ironic way, his apologise sound more like an insult. I travel a lot in the world and I eat in hundreds of ristorants, i have knowlidge about how should loock a restaurant, how could taste the food and how vould behuve the personal. I do not recomand this restaurant as I will never go back there: not proffesional weiter and under medium food taste. I write this reviuw not as a revenge but as a information for other people to do not ruin theyr day going to this restaurant as I did.More

Recomended by the hotel Concierge, the restaurant is small in back street but look at the first side authentic. We got a nice welcome from the owner and since it was sunny install ourself on the terrasse. On the menu we got as starter a...flammekueche that was crispuy with super fresh ingredients. Then I got another typical wiener schnitzel. The veal was perfect coocked and juicy, while the crsut was -claerly homemade. All in all, exactly the romantic, authentic experience that we wanted.More

Having stayed in Kronberg many times I had walked past the Gruene Gans on numerous occasions and never eaten there. Recent business brought me back and so we tried it and eleven of us wanted to return so we did two nights later. I had...the best steak I have ever eaten in this restaurant. The owner (manager?) is Italian and his wife is German. The food is quite perfect, the service is attentive without being fussy and the decor is simple. I will go there as the restaurant of choice in Kronburg, having visited five in the course of just over a week. Thank you for two memorable evenings.More

I have ordered the fish and it was really good. Dessert not a good choice (apple something , it seemed an apple pizza!).

We eat here fairly often and the menu changes. The staff is friendly, but there can be some delay in service when crowded. The food is great and the mixing of the ingredients are such that you wouldn't expect, but they taste great. Relaxing place...with a courtyard during nice weather and welcoming decor inside.More

One of the best salads I javwe...eaten. We paid 140 euro for dinner for 3 with an aperitif and for the rest water.More

Very cozy place with nice good. It's always hard to find a sort of sophisticated desert with less suger and sensitive texture (not typical european sweets from village - I do like this type of desert, but sometimes miss the other type), however, this place...serves great quality of desert that I used to have when I still lived in Tokyo.More

We loved this cozy, charming place. Had a lovely dinner of delicious pumpkin soup and onion tarte, (Flammkuchen), I love this Alsatioan dish and was surprised and happy to find it at this restaurant. It was delicious as was everything else we tried.

This is a lovely little restaurant in the characterful old town of Kronnberg. The setting is great, the small dining room lovely, and the service attentive without being intrusive. The wine recommendation was good, as was the beer I start with. The Tarte Normandie was...excellent. The steak salad -- with rocket and parmesan cheese, as certainly tasty, but did not seem to capture the heart of the placeMore
