Weinhaus Michel
Family wine house in the Old Town that makes its own wine, ranked second in the readers' poll, famous for its cheese spätzle and venison stew.
A family wine house on Jakobsbergstraße that claims to be the only winery in central Mainz serving its own wine in its own tavern. The Michel family has run the Weinolsheim estate since 1756. The menu is mainly Rheinhessen home cooking with a touch of Mediterranean flavor: house-recipe Spundekäs with small pretzel rolls, the self-proclaimed legendary cheese spätzle (Käsespätzle), venison stew and more. The dining room seats about 100, with a vaulted cellar and outdoor seating in summer. Main courses cost about 12–26 euros. It is busy in the evenings, so reservations are recommended.
Opening hours
Tuesday–Saturday 4:00–11:00 p.m. (check the official website)
