Unfortunately I can't say anything about the food, we left the restaurant after the waiter was incredibly rude and annoyed when asked about a drink menu. They probably don't need any guests.

We were at the Gasthaus zur Sonne on Saturday evening and had a wonderful experience. The main course was excellent and the dessert was a perfect ending - everything fresh and wonderfully prepared.We would particularly like to highlight the young waiter. He was very friendly, attentive and gave us great recommendations. He answered each of our questions with in-depth specialist knowledge, which impressed us very much. His advice on the main course and dessert was perfect, and he looked after us well throughout the evening. With his warm and professional manner he made our evening even more pleasant.Thank you for the great food and excellent service – we’ll be happy to come back!

A really quaint, romantic hotel with cosy, tastefully furnished rooms. A room with a view of the medieval Rathausplatz square is definitely worth it. Every hour on the hour, you can hear the singing of a rooster who must be doing something for his vocal chords. In the upper town, you immediately feel transported back to the Middle Ages, with all the comforts of modern times.

Very cozy, rustic restaurant in the middle of the old town of Marburg.Very tasty dishes. However, the portions are relatively manageable and quite expensive. But you can sit beautifully with a view of the market square and the historic town hall.

The Gasthaus Hotel zur Sonne is a real gem for everyone who loves rustic German hospitality and excellent cuisine. The atmosphere is really rustic German - you almost expect a Bavarian in lederhosen to come around the corner and do a hearty yodel.The service is simply top! The staff is so friendly and attentive that you feel like you are staying with old friends. Reservations are definitely recommended as this place is so popular that the tables go faster than the pretzels at Oktoberfest.The rooms are beautiful and invite you to linger. The historical flair of the inn makes the stay particularly charming - it feels like you are taking a short journey back in time.Let's get to the food: The traditional German cuisine here is simply a poem! The fresh beef fillet tartare was amazing – so good that I wondered if I should secretly sneak into the kitchen and get a second helping. The Allgäu onion roast was one of the best I've ever eaten - so tender that you could almost eat it with a spoon. And my companion’s schnitzel, “Grandpa Egon’s Schnitzel”, was also absolutely delicious – no wonder Grandpa Egon is so famous!Overall, the Gasthaus Hotel zur Sonne in Marburg is a wonderful place with historical flair, creative dishes and an atmosphere that is so cozy that you won't want to leave. Five stars are the minimum here!

Restaurant review: delicious food, very interesting menu. Would go back for the food. They brought an affogato without coffee and made a couple of other mistakes. The interior is traditional and cozy, quite packed, and the terrace is nice, on the main square.

This restaurant offers excellent food at reasonable prices. My lamb fillet was wonderful and came with an extremely tasty sauce, of which luckily there was more than plenty.The building is old and you can really feel the history. That's why it's also quite dark, of course, but that's just part of it.All in all, a restaurant visit that we will remember with pleasure for a long time to come.

Nicely located restaurant in the upper town. This time we were just there to drink wine. But we also had a good meal there. The service was very nice and entertaining. My family has been coming here for 60 years and we will continue this tradition.

In the middle of the city. Local for over 400 years and therefore a real original. Nice service, good service. Great selection of mainly regional food. Top quality at fair prices. And so delicious. The vegetables are al dente and taste a real hit. In any case, it makes sense to reserve in advance.
