Gasthaus Baren - Tübingen

We had 8 different tapas: beetle: the pasta was overcooked, there were more looked than bee in the sauce, it needed more salt and instead of a good bribe with roasted whistle, it came with like two pieces of beetle in the middle. Beetroot...and apfelsalat: random pieces of beet and a few slices of apple without dressing, salt or pepper. late zle with lenses and frankfurter sausages: overcooks unsalted pasta, lenses total bland. not even salt would save this catastrophe. breakfast: the best from the baptism. it is a pan roasted potato and spicy sausage that made it naturally delicious. fried schupfnudeln: they were nicely browned. for us we had the same, but with sour wort. this batch never saw a pan. maulbags: delicious carrot and celeriac salad: totally bland and far to much creamy 3 of 8 is a pretty bad performance

Great small restaurant, with very tasty food and veery good trips. all staff are very friendly. I would always recommend visiting tübingen.

We are visiting Tübingen for over four years now, but this a new favorite on our list. Gasthaus Bären offers a real local experience for a very fair price. The concept is simple: Swäbian Tapas. So you choose a couple of small dishes to share....Service is very friendly. It is not possible to book a table, so be on time if you want a place. Also, they have some very affordable wines and when you come early they are very cheap (sort of happy hour). The restaurant is very suitable for vegetarians too, although 2/3 of the menu is with meat.

Baren is fantastic and always bustling which shows how good it is amongst tourist and locals. The portions of the food are deliberately small so you can order a tapas style range of options. My mum and I loved the Schupfnudeln and the Wurst Teller....It is really excellent. The service on the night we went was a bit slow and it took a long time to get staffs attention but really considering how delicious and affordable the food was, we didn’t mind!

My partner and I went to Bären and ordered the Wurst Teller Ausschnitt and .75L of the house red wine. The wine was OK and well-priced but the wurst teller (sausage plate) was disappointing in every respect. For 8 euros, the portions were very small...and the meats had nearly no discernible flavor. It was clear that they sat in a refrigerator for some time and were quite dry. The atmosphere is very good, one of the better vibes in Tübingen... The other thing to know is that this restaurant is cash only. I wish they had a sign or something indicating this, as it's very inconvenientif you need to walk to an ATM to get cash. In the end, I probably won't go again as the food wasn't great and paying was a pain.
