Zum Löwen - Gießen

4 of us had dinner here. We all ordered jager snitzzel and we all agreed it was excellent. Will definitly be returning for same again. Good value €10:50.

I travel solo, a great deal. I am sensitive that during busy times, many restaurants may not want singles occupying their tables. But when I approached Zum Loewen, there were several vacant tables. Nonetheless, the wait staff made it clear that they did not want to serve me. I stayed because I noticed another patron enjoying the mussels, and they looked darn good. Well I got the mussels, and a beer and it was darn good. So I would give them five for food and one for service, they netted a three.

Great todays special food. One of the best foodplaces in Giessen so far. Todays special includes soup starter. Pizza does not look very great :/

We were recommended this restaurant by our hotel concierge and informed that it was one of the oldest buildings in Gießen.The restaurant is located deep within the pedestrianised shopping centre and was in easy walking distance to our hotel on Westanlage.We ordered a range of starters; the tomato with the mozzarella was sweet and flavoursome and the bruschetta was also very good. I ordered a large steak with pepper sauce and the knife glided through the meat. I would have preferred the pepper sauce to be on the side and not poured over the steak but this is a minor point. Everyone else around the table appeared to enjoy their main courses too with dishes ranging from calf liver, calamari and pizza.Desserts were standard fare, i.e. ice cream, cheese board etc and they even had English language menus for those of us that spoke no German or Italian.

For Italian food lovers. Best Spaghetti marinara ai cattogio in town.. A well assortment of Italian dishes, fresh sliced Parma ham..
