When we travel, we do not only look for sites to visit and
activities to enjoy, but we also search for fresh dining places to cool down
and satiate our palate and cravings for traditional food and refreshments
native to that area. Undeniably, each one of us has his own idiosyncratic
requirements and just like any of us, I stick to mine: simple, affordable, and
great-tasting.
Here, I list five places to dine when in
Moerfelden-Walldorf:
Bella Italia
Bella Italia is a simple Italian Pizzeria located on Frankfurterstr.
in Moerfelden. My first dinner whenever I visit this small village is savored in
this place. A local introduced me to this pizzeria and since that moment on, I
keep on coming back to enjoy the warm hospitality and personalized service by
the owner and the staff.

I have tasted several pizzas in Italy and other parts of
Europe, but I can personally say that Bella Italia serves the best-tasting
pizza. The crust is perfectly crunchy and the toppings are freshly prepared
which make each bite of the juicy slice so delightful, you’d finish the entire
pizza in no time.

Martin’s Thai Bistro
When we talk of proximity, Martin’s Thai Bistro is one of
the most easily accessible if you’re staying at Hotel Global in Walldorf.
Located roughly 50 meters away from the Hotel, Martin’s Thai Bistro is
frequented not only by hotel guests nearby, but also by locals who want to
break away from the usual German food and enjoy typical Asian dishes at very
affordable prices. Just imagine paying around 8 euros for food and drinks! You
won’t have a decent menu with that amount anywhere in Europe!

The kitchen can be very busy at lunch or dinner times when
the Bistro has to accommodate huge number of food deliveries from callers, so
be prepared to wait and enjoy your sumptuous food when you decide to visit the
place at these times.

Der Gundhof
History and great food in one place, Der Gundhof is very
popular among the local residents because it is situated at the very place
where Walldorf was founded hundred of years ago. The name suggests that it is located by Gundbach which patrons need to cross to reach this historic restaurant.

This rustic restaurant was suggested to me by a local and
referred to it as having the best Schnitzel in town. And she’s absolutely
correct! The coating is perfectly fried, not dark nor flaky and the meat inside
is impeccably seasoned, very tender and juicy. No wonder it’s the first choice
when I asked for the best Schnitzel in town.

Zagreb
Zagreb serves traditional Yugoslavian cuisines. It’s one of
those restaurants that I visit to meet with friends in Walldorf. The menus are
very affordable and come in big servings, so prepare to be completely full when
dining here. Their kebabs, chevapcchici, and other dishes are a must-try!

Zagreb is located on Okriftelerstrasse, just beside Aldi
Walldorf.

‘s Wirtshaus
Moerfelden-Walldorf and Frankfurt City are both located in
the German state of Hessen. So you might be wondering if there’s such thing as
typical Hessen cuisine? The answer is a big YES! And in Walldorf, there is a
special restaurant that serves typical and authentic Hessen cuisine. I am
talking about ‘s Wirthshaus.

Since you're in Hessen, it is a must to try their homemade hand-cheese
that they offer as appetizer. I am not so fond of it, but it’s a must-try for
curious diners.
