The Experience in Detail

Setting and Atmosphere

The Frauenbad Heidelberg, a historic bathing house, transforms into a stylish event space for this evening. Its vintage charm, combined with tasteful decoration, creates a cozy yet sophisticated environment. We loved the way the lighting and decor subtly echo the building’s past, elevating the experience from a simple dinner to a memorable night in a place with character.

The Culinary Component

The 4-course menu is thoughtfully curated, with options catering to both meat-eaters and vegetarians. The meat option features Label Rouge beef tartare with saffron aioli and chives—a dish that’s both refined and flavorful—while the vegetarian choice offers watermelon carpaccio with saffron aioli, providing a fresh, colorful alternative. The soups are equally enticing, with Thai lemongrass soup complemented by either fried king prawns or herb oil, adding a bit of spice and aroma that awakens the senses.

For the main course, the options are hearty and well-balanced: Pollo Fino with baked broccoli and sweet potato mash or braised pointed cabbage with potatoes, meadow herbs, and a no-chicken butter chicken sauce. The dessert is a definite highlight—a fudgiest brownie paired with dark berries, light mousse, and salted caramel—which more than satisfies any sweet tooth.

While the menu adjusts slightly based on seasonal availability, the focus remains on quality and presentation. The inclusion of a welcome drink sets the tone, helping guests settle in and get ready for the show.
