With over 9000 displays spread across three floors, the museum offers insights into crafting techniques and features a fascinating fluorescence room. Visitors can explore the art of carving stones and gems while admiring beautiful statues of creatures. The museum also provides an opportunity to purchase unique items related to stones, gems, and statues.
This museum is really well done! The exhibits are both beautiful and interesting with gemstones and minerals from around the world by famous artists in this genre. We easily spent 2 hours here for a place that is not all that large. Loved it!

After buying the entrance ticket, the kids received a small stone..this was so friendly of the receptionist. So much beauty and awe at one place. Learnt so much about agate and gemstone. After the visit to the museum, we passed by the gift shop and bought some souvenirs. The visit was totally worth it!
Victoria N — Google review
A good museum with 3 floors of gemstones. The pieces are well described and there are some unique gems too. There are 2 different puzzle tracks for kids. Those make the visit for them more interesting. There is one with finding numbers and one with finding letters. Both were a bit challenging for a 6 year old. They have a Audio Guide that you can download but a QR- code at the entrance would promote it more

This museum was one of the most beautiful I have seen. There was a lot to learn about how they carved all the stones and gems and who invented it. There are really beautiful stones and statues of creatures (as you can see in the pictures). The employees are very nice and helped you if needed. There are a lot of cool things you can buy in the store! This is a really good place to go if you love stones, gems and statues!

The Historische Weiherschleife museum and restaurant offer a fascinating experience. The museum showcases the functioning of various historical processes, including the preparation of food on a wood-burning grill in its original form. The tour provides unexpected insights into the laborious journey from mining geodes to crafting exquisite jewelry. Both the mine and mill can be visited in one day, telling an engaging story.
This complex has a mine museum with tours a man-made lake, a playground, and a restaurant. We ate at the brewery. The food was excellent, service was good. One staff member spoke English well and helped us. You can walk around the grounds which include a small man-made lake and a playground. It seems to also be used as a private event venue. There’s plenty of parking. You can see the complex from the road above, the parking lot is just below the road.
Nikki ( — Google review
The tour is awesome, much more than I expected. Another insight in the amount of manual labour it took to get from a geode hidden in a mountain to a jewel around a neck. Visiting both the mine and the mill are easy to do in one day and it tells a compelling story.
Henri F — Google review
Good to understand how these gemstones where processed in the past before all automation came in. Just be aware that the guide only explains in German and so you may not understand anything if you do not understand German. But can see all the tools and make a guess on how it worked.

This museum and restaurant are a good place to be. it is a working museum where during the tour they show how it funtioned. food is good. some dishes are taking longer to prepare on the wood burned grill as they are prepared in the original way. 100% worth the wait.

Unfortunately, I did not have a good experience here and felt singled out and discriminated against for not speaking German. My friend (who speaks German) had made a reservation and I had come early asking for the reservation. The waitress who was blonde with tattoos on her right arm promptly dismissed me saying that they only speak German. Later when my friend came, the waitress only spoke through my friend who speaks German and never addressed me directly for what I wanted. I have no doubt that the other staff is welcoming and friendly. However, I do not recommend any non-German speaking people to come and eat at this establishment for as long as that waitress works here due to the hostile environment she creates.

Edelsteinminen Steinkaulenberg is the only gemstone mine in Europe that welcomes visitors to try their hand at mining semi-precious stones under the guidance of expert gemstone professionals. The site also features the Weiherschleife Cutting Mill, a historic water-driven mill offering demonstrations of traditional gem cutting methods dating back to 1634.
I really enjoyed touring this cave! It was a nice treat and the workers were super nice! It was so cool seeing the crystals and cool rock formations inside the cave and the cool lights that reflected on the water and walls. You can’t beat a cave tour for $8 and the hike down to the cave was nice and relaxing. Definitely purchase tickets in advance!

Nice tour. Pre-record English headset available. Bathrooms available. Some snacks in the gift shop. Tried the digging afterwards but did not find much... Just some small amathist. No biggie, I will just cheat and buy something at the gift shop... Except nothing in the gift shop is actually from the mine. Big disappointment. I like buying rocks from the places I have been.
Virginia M — Google review
Worth the visit if you’re in the area. They have an app you can download to be able to listen to the tour in other languages so if you don’t know German, bring your own headphones! (And there’s WiFi available) Our tour guide was a bit too long winded and my three year old started to get very restless but he made it through. Do not forget to make a reservation/buy your timed tickets online!!
Kelly M — Google review
This was really fun for everyone. The tour guide was interactive with the children, asking them questions and telling stories. The mine itself is amazing to get to tour. There is a little shop at the entrance where you can buy stones of course but they also have food and drink. We did have one problem, I purchased tickets for my children to dig in the sand pit and for some reason the man supervising wouldn't let us in. First he told me that I was in the wrong place and needed to go to the parking lot. This was clearly a lie so I had my husband go and try to take them and he wouldn't let them in then either even though we had tickets and were definitely in the right place. Any way if it weren't for this I would give it five stars.
Stephanie K — Google review
The kids really enjoyed it. We only got to do the basic dig where they throw out gems and the kids go free for all and get as many gems as possible. Everything else was sold out for the 12:30pm time slot. They still really enjoyed it and left with plenty of gemstones.

NOT easy if you have walking difficulties. A warning when I bought tickets would be nice. My brother visiting from Florida and my wife have physical difficulties and qe had to abandon our prepurchased tickets. "You have to purchase your tickets ahead of time. Oh, didn't know about the steep walk? Too bad for you, we already have your money."
Inyobill — Google review
There is a bit of an uphill hike to get there, but it is really worth it. There are a lot of Chrystal's in the mine and nothing is fake. They have been there for millions of years and are staying since the mine closed in 1875.

Make sure to buy your tickets a week in advance. This is a popular location with limited guided tours per day. The inside of the mine is well lit and stroller friendly.

As with all the food that we had in Germany it was tasty, served proudly, and heartily. I got schnitzel with red bell peppers and a sauce which is not normally how it is prepared but it was excellent! My husband got some form of spätzle and it was excellent too. Staff was helpful and one spoke English quite well, there was no issue with making our needs known or met. It was a lovely day so we ate outside and there was lots of seating. There’s plenty of parking. The rest of the grounds are the mine museum, playground and man-made lake. Entrance to the restaurant and the path were ADA accessible.

The only problem is there is too much food on the plate and it's hard to control yourself. Food from the grill is amazing you can taste the smoke. The restaurant deserves way more than 4.5 rating in Google. Thomas, the owner is really friendly and his attitude is contagious to the rest of the staff. Thank you for the great experience.

We had a group dinner outing here at the Weiher Schleife (about 20 people, mix of locals and American visitors). The staff was so lovely and accomodating. The restaurant is clean and traditional.

One of our American friends enjoyed her Spießbraten so much that she returned again for lunch the next day!

The place are beautiful, waitress is kind. But the portion of "Spießbraten" was really really really small if to compare with other restaurants near here. Almost no potato, and a little bit of meat for 12,50€. And for this small portion we needed to wait around 30-40 minutes. Will never eat here again, but it is good place to drink a coffee with a cake, because of the place. But not to eat there.

I learned about the Speißbratenhaus from an acquaintance last summer. I was excited to finally visit, and it did not disappoint. First, I have to say the staff were all very kind and patient with me as we had to, unfortunately, change the date/time of our reservation. The restaurant itself is incredibly charming with lots of outdoor seating. We loved our table, and being able to watch the grill. The mixed green salad was delicious and fresh. I do recommend coming with an appetite, and with some patience because the food does take some time to prepare on the grill. It is so worth the wait, though! We loved our experience!

EDIT: their response says it all. Guess where this photo was taken :-) EDIT 2: first you basically accuse me of being a liar that ‘I wasn’t in your restaurant’. Now the photo is too old. What else? My family has come here for years but never again. The older lady overcharged us by 30% and had the audacity to accept a tip on top of that. When we asked for a bill because the amount seemed higher than usual: our total magically changed to the regular price. No apologies or money back. Disgraceful. The Italian restaurant next door serves amazing schnitzels and serves them with a smile (and a proper bill). Fully recommend!

On a Saturday evening, tourists can enjoy a pleasant stroll through the charming Marktplatz, despite some establishments being closed. Although one restaurant recently shut down after operating for 57 years, it is disheartening to witness such closures during these challenging times. Nevertheless, the Marktplatz remains an excellent destination for visitors to explore. The square offers several open restaurants that cater to diverse tastes and are available throughout the night. Overall, it is a highly recommended tourist attraction worth visiting.

Thanks to the many colorful ribbons, you can combine it really beautifully with any outfit. Above all, it's something different that I haven't seen before. I love this ring and its variety of possibilities. 💜 I can only recommend the wrap ring from Stefanie Dingel. Your jewelry is special and super sophisticated!

(Translated by Google) I am in love with my new wrap ring! A modern and unusual piece of jewelry that is second to none, extremely versatile thanks to the interchangeable wrapping straps - a 'must have' for everyone who loves playing with fashion and jewelry! The workmanship is of high quality and the ring sits comfortably and very stable on the finger. Another plus: the huge selection of colors for the wrapping tapes, so nothing is left to be desired!

The Deutsches Mineralienmuseum is an impressive stop for museum enthusiasts. With a reasonable entrance fee of 7 euros, visitors can explore four floors filled with gemstones, precious minerals, fossils, and intricately carved stone pieces from around the globe. In addition to the actual specimens, stamp collectors will find framed stamps depicting minerals and gemstones alongside their real counterparts. The museum also houses a stunning collection of amber objects ranging from small pins to breathtaking necklaces on display in a magnificent room.
The museum is rather large and definitely worth a visit. There are thousands of geodes and great pieces of geology to study. There are also crowns, jewels, and artifacts to look at as well. Overall a must do for Idar-Oberstein!

This place has a room with huge examples of various gemstones and minerals and some beautiful exhibits. The wheel outside is very famous in gemology circles and there is a room you can go in and look at the other side of it, and read about it. That said, it seems a little dusty for a museum and lighting on the exhibitions could be better. If you don’t read German you are out of luck.

To all gems and stone lovers. You can have stunning views of all the gemstones and machines in the old times used in crafting them. You can go around knowing its stone and history plus you can buy souvenirs. This is also near the Church and coffee shops. Idar Oberstein is the birth place of famous actor Bruce Willis.

The Felsenkirche, a small church with a rich history, is nestled within the face of a rocky hill. Its exterior stands out amidst the rocks, while the entrance can be found through a cave-like tunnel. The interior of the church is also carved into the rock, creating an awe-inspiring sight. Perched above the city of Idar-Oberstein, this hidden gem boasts a cross made from precious stones, showcasing the town's renowned craftsmanship.
If you like history and ancient buildings this is a great place to go, a church that at the very beginning of the construction it was a castle. When you are inside you are able to see how some of the walls are just rock of the mountain. Very interesting place with an amazing story. We had an excellent guide that explained every single corner of the place. The tour was made in German and one of our friends translated in to English. I didn’t ask if they offer a tour in English but I think it should be possible. The best way to go inside is to order a tour, is nothing expensive but you need to consider that is at least for 8 people.

Sights & Landmarks
Ancient Ruins
Burg Bosselstein, a beautifully renovated historical landmark, offers a stunning panorama of the town. From its windows and especially through the hole in the original toilet, one can admire an awe-inspiring view into the depths. This small ruin of a castle or tower provides visitors with an exquisite vantage point to appreciate the surrounding area. The sight is characterized by its breathtaking perspective and serves as a testament to the rich history that this remarkable structure holds.
(Translated by Google) Unfortunately it's just a ruin, but thanks to some information boards you can get a good overview of exactly where things once were. The special thing about this castle is that it even had two outer baileys. The western and eastern baileys. There is now a war memorial in the area of ​​the former western outer bailey. In the area of ​​the former eastern outer bailey, a free area with some benches. The path to the castle itself is very exciting, narrow paths lead you slowly but surely through a forest to the castle. Shortly before we cross a narrow bridge, we can see some remains of walls on the side of the path, which were part of the gate system at that time. After the bridge we come to the area of ​​the main castle. There are remains of walls and a castle tower to be seen here. In addition to the information boards just mentioned, there are also wonderful views to enjoy here. (Original) Leider nur noch eine Ruine, aber dank einigen Hinweistafeln kann man sich einen guten Überblick verschaffen, wo einmal was genau war. Das besondere an dieser Burg ist, dass sie sogar gleich über zwei Vorburgen verfügte. Die westliche und die östliche Vorburg. Im Bereich der ehemaligen westlichen Vorburg, befindet sich heute ein Kriegerdenkmal. Im Bereich der ehemaligen östlichen Vorburg, ein freies Areal mit einigen Sitzbänken. Der Weg zur Burg ansich ist schon sehr spannend, schmale Pfade führen einen durch ein Waldstück langsam aber sicher zur Burg. Kurz bevor wir eine schmale Brücke überqueren, können wir seitlich des Pfades noch einige Mauerreste erkennen, diese zur damaligen Toranlage gehört haben. Nach der Brücke kommen wir in den Bereich der Hauptburg. Hier gibt es Mauerreste und noch einen Burgturm zu erkennen. Neben den eben erwähnten Hinweistafeln gibt es hier auch wunderbare Aussichten zu genießen.

Nestled in the heart of Idar-Oberstein, Al Castello is a charming Italian eatery that promises a delightful culinary experience. Guests rave about the delicious tiramisu and tartufo, which are must-tries on the menu. The friendly service adds to the warm atmosphere, with quick delivery of starters even during busy times. Patrons appreciate the personal touch from the owner, who offers daily specials and even prepares fresh zabaglione upon request.
THE best Italian restaurant in Germany!! A hidden treasure with amazing food and friendly staff! You always feel at home eating here. Beautiful views of the town square. Cozy vibes in the winter and relaxing vibes during the spring and summer. I crave their pasta at least once a month! If you are in the area you HAVE to go.
Ivette U — Google review
The service was excellent and the staff very friendly, no complaints there. We ordered three tomato soups which were delicious. However, the main courses were a disaster. My father-in-law ordered veal in mushroom sauce with pasta and got fries instead. My husband and I ordered salmon and were served a white fish, and the waiter insisted it was salmon! After explaining that it clearly wasn’t salmon, he admitted we were right and asked if we wanted the “real” salmon to go. On the bill, we were charged for bread we never asked for; it was just brought to the table, so we assumed it was complimentary. We also didn’t get the salmon to go as compensation. The restaurant is beautiful and some dishes are good, but overall we felt cheated. If you order salmon, make sure it’s the real one.

Discovered this little gem near closing time - turned down for dinner at nearby place, & the owner here gave welcome, apologizng that all he could serve was "a good pasta dish" (due to the hour.) Respected my allergies & served up a nice pesto pasta with salmon. Came back soon after to try the pizza - very good - the service is welcoming & pleasant. Enjoyed the outdoor setting & the background live (quiet) music. Back a 3rd time - veggie pizza - yum! Good ambiance, good food, good prices, good music. Hmmm... what to do for Sunday dinner...?

Sights & Landmarks
Ancient Ruins
Castle Oberstein was initially mentioned in the year 1330 and prospered during the 15th century. Unfortunately, it suffered a complete destruction in 1855 but was partially reconstructed in 1980 through the dedication of the Association Burgenverein Schloss Oberstein. On the other hand, Fortress Bosselstein, established in 1150, served as a residence for Stein's nobility until around 1600 when it fell into disrepair.
This has to be the quaintest, cutest castle I’ve ever visited. I came here with two of my daughters ages 5 and 3 years with VERY limited time (30 minutes) due to having tours at the nearby mines and having left the house on preschooler time. I had read conflicting reviews about parking near the castle but found a small nearby lot on Google maps and parked there, about 2 minutes walk from the castle. Once up close I saw I could definitely have parked closer, but the short walk was nice anyway. There was a good amount of construction going on to the castle exterior which made photo taking less than ideal but obviously we are thankful for the work they were doing! We walked around outside for a few minutes enjoying the amazing view of Schloss Bosselstein and the valley then went through the castle gate. First you walk through the outdoor courtyard which has very patio seating with a great atmosphere and view. I wish we could have sat and relaxed for a few minutes there, it was so peaceful! Then we went into the interior of the castle. We were met by a very kind, warm woman who spoke great English and assured me we could see the whole castle in our time constraints. She gave me my ticket (I was 3 euro, my kids were free) and a piece of paper that explained the Rooms in English and off we went. I would guess there are about 10 rooms total but they are all in great repair (I assume reconstructed) and beautifully decorated. I could have lingered at least an hour overall but we just barely saw the whole castle in the time we had. The bathrooms were clean. Overall this was a fantastic little castle to visit, and I can’t wait to come back!

History: Castle Oberstein was first mentioned around 1330, before flourishing in the 15th century and then burning down completely in 1855, after which it was partially rebuilt in 1980 thanks to the efforts of the Association “Burgenverein Schloss Oberstein”. Fortress Bosselstein, built in 1150, was inhabited by the noblemen of Stein up until 1600. It subsequently fell into ruin, and today there are just a few walls and tower stump to be seen. When looking out from Fortress Bosselstein, you can enjoy a wonderful view of Oberstein. It’s just a four minute walk from Castle Oberstein, which is well worth it!

(Translated by Google) Highly professional from the very first second! Andrea effortlessly accomplished what other goldsmiths had dismissed as impossible. I had an heirloom reworked and now wear a truly unique piece on my finger. I was completely in love when I held the ring in my hands. On top of all the positives, Andrea was extremely fast and absolutely reliable. It couldn't have gone better! (Original) Von der ersten Sekunde an hoch professionell! Andrea hat mit Leichtigkeit möglich gemacht, was andere Goldschmiede als nicht machbar abgelehnt haben. Ich habe ein Erbstück umarbeiten lassen und trage nun ein absolutes Unikat am Finger. Ich war schockverliebt als ich den Ring in Händen hielt. Zu allem positiven war Andrea nich extrem schnell und absolut verlässlich. Besser hätte es nicht laufen können!

Restaurant Schleiferstube Inh.Erika Dreher is a delightful spot for anyone craving authentic German cuisine. Nestled in a cozy atmosphere, it offers an inviting escape from the hustle and bustle outside, especially on rainy days. Diners rave about the perfectly cooked schnitzel—crispy on the outside yet tender and juicy within—showcasing the chef's expertise.
Hearty meal, had the Schwein and medallion plus coffee. The Madallion was cooked to perfection, tender and slight pink at the center, not over cooked but just right. The salad and Pommes done right. Was raining earlier, cozy and warm inside. Food was good and even took some home for left overs. Want to experience traditional German cooking, this is the place. They have a senior menu where the portion is a little smaller. Not a cheap meal but certainly a place for intimate conversation. More to come.

(Translated by Google) Enjoyable schnitzel experience with warmth I had the pleasure of visiting the Schleiferstube and it was a real treat. The schnitzel was perfectly cooked - crispy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside. The chef definitely knows his craft and conjures up dishes that will make your mouth water. The service was equally remarkable. The staff was friendly and attentive and I felt welcome from the first moment. Overall, my visit was a fantastic experience that I would recommend to anyone looking for excellent, hand-crafted food and warm hospitality. (Original) Genussvolles Schnitzel-Erlebnis mit Herzlichkeit Ich hatte das Vergnügen, die Schleiferstube zu besuchen, und es war eine wahre Gaumenfreude. Das Schnitzel war perfekt zubereitet - knusprig von außen und zart und saftig von innen. Der Koch versteht sein Handwerk definitiv und zaubert Gerichte, die einem das Wasser im Mund zusammenlaufen lassen. Die Bedienung war ebenso bemerkenswert. Das Personal war freundlich und aufmerksam, und ich fühlte mich vom ersten Moment an willkommen. Insgesamt war mein Besuch im eine fantastische Erfahrung, die ich jedem empfehlen kann, der auf der Suche nach exzellentem, handgemachtem Essen und herzlicher Gastfreundschaft ist.

Italian restaurant
Pizzeria Costa Smeralda is a charming Italian restaurant located in a serene part of Idar-Oberstein, near a tranquil river and hiking trail. With its origins dating back to the 1900s, this traditional German eatery offers ample space for small gatherings and boasts a dedicated chef who prepares everything from scratch. Visitors praise the peaceful ambiance, friendly service, and delicious food with generous portions. While it may be slightly pricey, the quality of the dining experience makes it worthwhile.
Fell in love with this place! I’m sure it’s best if you make reservations, but we were lucky enough to get a table that night. The back seating area is beautiful and peaceful! The waitress was super sweet and spoke english. The food was absolutely delicious! I forgot to take a picture of my pasta, but here is my dessert and broccoli soup. I fell in love and can’t wait to come back! A little pricey, but I think all of the restaurants in Idar have similar pricing.

I have no idea how this place has 4.6 stars. The pizzas are perfectly round, clearly indicating they’re not freshly made and they’re using frozen bases and just putting toppings on them. The carbonara was also unlike any I’d ever had; it was way too much bacon, the Parmesan was just bit slices that never mixed into the sauce, and it was served with a raw egg on top that I had to mix into myself. It was the least inspired Italian restaurant I’ve ever been to. We arrived with low expectations and still had them unmet.

It is, with very good atmosphere. Guests say hi to each other, very friendly and cozy environment, with Italian music. All 4 stars goes to the atmosphere. Food taste is a bit out of my way. Seafood spaghetti very salty, starter soup very salty, mussels with lots of sands.

In general it was okay, but nothing extraordinary. The place is quite pretty and the workers were really friendly, but the food was nothing special. My Caneloni was actually not pasta, it was with Crepe dough, but it was good. The pizza of my boyfriend was definitely too long in the oven and was a bit dry and hard. The prices are okk, but the quality could be a bit better.

When I lived just across the bridge from this restaurant as a single man in the U.S Army I visited here almost everyday, that ended 10 years ago when I moved away, I have woke up in the dead of night just have my mind full of the best lasagna, broccoli soup and to finish it off, a small shot of port wine... great, amazing, one day I will return to satiate my desire. Must visit if here... best of travel, enjoy the shot of port wine for a former soldier that found real love for great food and people in small shop 4000 miles from home. Sehr Guht, Das ist wunderbar essen. Ich liebe Costa Smeralda, danke schon, und Guten tag. ( mein Deutsch ist nicht gut, kinder Deutsch 😀)

Tinas Pizzeria Ristorante

Italian restaurant
Pizza restaurant
Tinas Pizzeria Ristorante is a charming and cozy Italian eatery, perfect for families looking to discover new local dining spots. It offers a warm and inviting ambiance, making it an enjoyable place to dine. The restaurant tends to get crowded during peak hours, so arriving early is recommended. Families with children can find ample seating in the spacious back area. Although the staff primarily speaks German, English menus are available for easy communication.
As a family always going out to explore new and local places to eat we actually stumbled upon Tina’s Pizzeria and we are glad we did. It is very and quaint which is something we enjoyed. We showed up around 1730 (only ones at fist) and we are glad we did because around 1800 the restaurant was filled. We have two l.o so we choose to sit in the back and it was plenty of room for families gathering for a meal. We are still working on our German but we’re able to communicate still with our English Menus that we were offered. The food was good and the atmosphere was wonderful. My daughters especially enjoyed their little candy treat that was given to them at the end of our meals. Thank you for a wonderful family night out and we will be back soon.

I walked in as they were about to close early, and they insisted I come in and dine! The couple were lovely and so very kind. I ordered the Bruschetta and the Pork Scallopini and both were delicious. The Lambrusco they serve is absolutely Devine and I must try and find it somewhere to purchase! I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants an authentic Italian experience here in Germany!

The restaurant has a great atmosphere and decent food, but despite trying multiple times, the service is consistently awful, with the manager being particularly rude every visit. It’s hard to enjoy a meal when hospitality is so lacking.

Cute little restaurant run by an adorable couple in the middle of the historic part of the city. Tina's hospitality is warm and welcoming and the food is lip-smackingly yummy 😋 As usual, I wasn't going to leave town without visiting Tina's. Absolutely delicious. The tiramisu is a MUST have!

Visited on a Saturday entering @1330 for lunch. Immediately seated inside by a woman who pointed to the dining area. We sat there 15 minutes watching staff rushing back and forth between kitchen and the outside seating area literally walking by our table each time. Staff were visibly stressed as they ignored us. I mean, really IGNORED us. We have no menus, no drinks no further acknowledgement since seating. After we were seated 15 minutes, another couple were seated next to us. That couple immediate got menus and placed an order. We are still without and I tried to get the waitress' attention but she was too quick for me to stop her. 30 minutes into our visit and more rushing staff back and forth, drinks and food were delivered to couple next to us and we haven't seen a menu yet. I was upset and reached over to the waitress serving and tapped her arm three times quickly. She looked at me in shock and I told her we hadn't seen a menu yet. Waitress mumbled something and left. I wanted to tell her we were seated before neighboring couple but its not their fault so I didn't. That couple had noticing the staffing ignoring us but what could they do? The other waitress who pointed out seating came with English menus and dropped them on the table as she rushed by us. Nothing was said. 40 minutes into our visit we placed drink and pizza orders. Throughout the 40 minutes we watched a family of 5 with baby pram were seated and got drinks. Next to them were two young couples of backpackers were seated and IGNORED. We were discussing what to do about it as it appeared to be clear bias against us and the backpackers when they suddenly asked for our orders. Drinks came quickly and gruffly but it was 60 minutes into our visit when our pizzas finally arrived. There was no offer of parmigiana, additional drinks or other condiments. We asked for hot chili oil but the brought salad oils and vinegar. OK - they don't have it but that was strange. The backpackers left. They had not received any menus or anything else. Staff said nothing as they exited. We ate our pizza and I noticed the family of 5 with pram had to grab a waitress too. All this while the place is steadily emptying out. We were done by 1½ hours into our experience and the staff never asked if we liked our meals and never asked if additional drinks were wanted. A cook came from the kitchen and took our empty plates from us and sat them on table beside us. That was odd too. About the pizza. Me: Othello. She: Quattro Formaggi. Crust was too thick and doughy in places. Toppings were OK but the sauce tasted sweeter that tomato sauce should taste. 1 hour 40 minutes and we got the bill. Waitress wants payment now. I am perturbed. I get out the cash and I'm scratching about my pockets for exact change. I am €.02 (That's 2 cents!) short - asked my wife to check her purse and waitress sighs "thats ok" and rushes off without any other comment. We left without any staff saying anything further. This is as we walked past the bar to get to the door and staff conversing amongst themselves. What an experience! We will avoid them.

Very nice place in the Altstadt of Idar Oberstein. This is a very nice little town, known for Gems. We happened to find this pizza place by accident. We were looking for somewhere to eat, and everything in town was closed. This place was open, so we tried it. Very nice staff, and delicious food. The staff allowed us to sit until we were ready to leave, even though they had closed. Will come back for sure.

The cuisine at Kammerhof is highly praised, with a serene location near a peaceful river and scenic hiking trail in Idar. This authentic German restaurant has been serving traditional dishes since the early 1900s. With ample space for medium-sized groups, it offers a welcoming atmosphere for gatherings. The chef's commitment to handcrafted meals sets this establishment apart as more than just another dining option – it truly stands out as an exceptional place to dine.
I absolutely loved the food at Kammerhof! It's tucked away in a nice, quaint, calm part of a Idar next to a slow moving river and a calm hiking trail, a traditional German restaurant at its best and original to the area, it's been there since the 1900s, ample room for moderate sized gatherings and a very dedicated, skilled chef who makes everything by hand, this is not just another restaurant, this place is awesome!

THE BEST RESTAURANT in Idar-Oberstein!! I used to eat at this secluded, creekside gem as a child 50-years ago. Well-renowned for its SpieBbraten (beef and pork grilled on a spinning grate over an open fire), it was my Father’s favorite restaurant. Now - as an adult - I can see and taste why. If going with family or a group of friends, I highly recommend their SpieBbraten Platter. The €115 dish for 4, includes 4 mixed salads and is a delicious bargain for what you are served.
