Kleine Traube - Esslingen am Neckar

The place is cute restaurant with nice atmosphere. I have visited the place twice and each time the food has been very good, offering typical German food for my visitors abroad. The service is very good and price reasonable for such big and delicious portions. I recommend!

Very popular - among locals and visitors alike - restaurant serving very good Swabian cuisine. Large portions of Maultaschen, Käsespätzle, Fleischküchle, etc, and good local beers and selection of local wines. For an authentic experience at a places that local frequent, visit this place.

Following the TripAdvisor recommendation, the Restaurant "Kleine Traube" is at rank "2" in Esslingen. I do confirm, the cooking is authentic local cooking. We did a reservation 3 hours in advance, which we do recommend during holiday peal season (July / August). A table for 2 persons during lunch time was problem at all.I have ordered the "Home made Maultaschen", which is pasta squares filled with meat and herbs. Fantastic taste and compared with other classic Maultaschen, the 'Kleine Traube' does it quite light with nice meat/herbs filling. We had as well a vegitarian version of 'Swabian Alp Cheese Pasta' (Käs Spätzle), which was home made with an excellent Swabian Alp cheese. Overall the service was nice. Not allways patient - but still very friendly. Price is acceptable due to very good quality.

Prompt service, very tasty food (Maultaschen mit Trollinger). Genial atmosphere. Great value. Worth visiting.

We sat outside and had a beer on their charming patio. Beautiful location. Esslingen is such a treat!
