La Locanda 26
Supan's Thai Bistro
On the hauptstraãe right at the universitã¤tsplatz next to the "vinyl only" record shop. an excellent, reasonably priced, thai restaurant, with great service. the food is as authentic as it can get in europe. ask for "thai spicy" if you want the real thing but only if you can deal with it!
BBQ & Beer
On sunny summer days the "neckarwiese" 'neckar meadow', northern bank of neckar river, just west of bismarckplatz is full of people relaxing in the sun, having a barbecue or a beer... this place also offers a nice view to the castle. you will have to bring your own grill, beer and steaks. cheap grills to use once are availible at the "bauhaus" do-it-youself store at kurfã¼rsten-anlage 11, just 200m south of bismarckplatz. nice way to mix with locals.
Snacks: Along the Hauptstrasse, which runs through the center of town, you will find several bakeries that serve local specialities including âBrezelnâ pretzels. Department stores have a nice selection of delicatessen stalls called âMarkthallenâ where you can eat everything on the spot.
Many of the cafes in Heidelberg set up outside tables when the weather is fair, and these are enjoyed by locals and tourists alike. A popular destination for summer cafe beer sipping and lounging is the Marktplatz, which is adjacent to the Heiliggeistkirche.
Meals: The Haupstrasse is plentiful with an amazing variety of restaurants. Dishes tend to be served in large portions, relatively inexpensive and of good quality. You can find something for almost every taste including Japanese, Indian, Italian, Chinese, German and Bavarian. American fast food and "Döner" restaurants cater to the budget conscious and late-night crowds.
