Spicetrails

Das Spicetrails ist eines meiner Lieblingsrestaurants in Freiburg. Die südostasiatische Küche ist sehr lecker. Es gibt tolle Specials wie Wine&Dine und 3+4 Gänge Menüs in Zusammenarbeit mit einem Heidelberger Koch. Die Atmosphäre im Stammlokal in der Stadt ist großartig. Einziger Wermutstropfen: Früher hat die Speisekarte viel öfter gewechselt. Das fand ich großartig, da man immer etwas Neues entdecken konnte. In den letzten Monaten hat das etwas nachgelassen, und die Karte hat sich seitdem nicht mehr geändert. Das ist schade, weshalb ich nur 4 statt 5 Punkte vergeben kann.

Indian home cooking would be great! On December 13th, 2024 Ralph and I were at Spice Trails for the first time. We chose this restaurant because we read interesting things about it in the Badische Zeitung. The ambience was more sober than we had imagined, but the noise level was pleasant in the early evening. The service was friendly and we had our drinks quickly. Unfortunately, my dish lentil curry was a disappointment. I couldn't taste what spices were used. But they didn't work together and too much of one spice had been used. The yoghurt that was to be served with it was in a thin spiral on the warm lentils. Here I would like more yogurt in a separate bowl. During my travels to India, I often ate traditional home cooking. Simple, cooked with few ingredients and a lot of love! I have never had anything like this in a German restaurant. But maybe that's asking too much?

Kleines, schmales Lokal (etwas dunkel) im Bermudadreieck. Bestellt wird vorne an der Theke im Selbstbedienungsstil. Wir haben ein Duo aus zwei verschiedenen Currys zum Probieren bestellt. Das Restaurant selbst war sauber, wir waren zur Mittagszeit da und es war halb voll. Die Bedienung war freundlich. Nun zum Essen: Geschmacklich kann ich den anderen Bewertungen hier nicht zustimmen. Es war nicht schlecht, aber auch keine fünf Sterne wert. Ich war selbst viel in Asien unterwegs und kenne die Küche sehr gut.

We had made a reservation and were really looking forward to the meal because we had read an interesting article about the restaurant in the BZ. Unfortunately we had to be annoyed by the very arrogant and unfriendly service with the piercings. So we left without eating.

DE EN below In Freiburg you really have to come here. We were looking for a dinner location not too far away from our centrally located hotel and came across Spicetrails. Local ingredients, organic and also vegan options? Sounded promising and in the end it was. It really tasted so delicious. We had Indonesian noodles (to die for! , Laksa (curry mie noodles with breaded tofu and lentil dal with rice. Everything tasted good without exception. Compared to the first two, the lentil dal was slightly less good but still excellent. The noodles and laksa tasted very tasty, were nicely presented and the portions were a good size. But the taste made me wish I never stopped eating. The restaurant is small, service was quick and the food came quickly. Now nothing where you can go out for a fancy meal, but the taste is simply great. All in all a 10 10 for me. — We had Indonesian noodles (a dream! , Laksa (curry noodle soup with crispy tofu , and lentil dal with rice. Everything tasted absolutely delicious. Compared to the first two dishes, the lentil dal was slightly less impressive, but still excellent. The noodles and the laksa were bursting with flavor, beautifully presented, and the portions were a good size. The taste was so incredible that I never wanted to stop eating. The restaurant is small, the service was pretty quick, and the food arrived promptly. It’s not a place for fancy dining, but the flavors are simply top notch. All in all, a solid 10 10 for me.
