Tasty dishes, but way too pricey

We ordered the lasagna and the tomato rice. Delicious. Unfortunately, the owner's daughter (?), around 9-11 years old, was being the whole time at our table and constantly talking to us. It was annoying. We also had to wait for over an hour for our food to arrive, but no one else was there... For the high price the portions were way too small.

Lovely, tasty restaurant

Mariposa is such a lovely restaurant and it feels like eating at a friend's place. Don't let the “vegan-vegetarian cuisine” sign confuse you, everything is vegan. One starter, two main courses and one dessert were offered. Everything tasted great and I have the feeling that all visitors had a great, relaxed evening. Outside there are tables on the sidewalk in a quiet street and as the evening went on, more and more tables were added for all guests. Really nice!

Delicious, great ambience

We‘ve been here on a day trip and we’re looking for some nice vegan place. We are so happy to have found this place. The food is delicious, the house is very old and creates a cozy ambience. We tasted all the main courses and cannot decide which one‘s the best because they were all so different and simply delicious.

Pros: All vegan restaurant. , Really nice owner. , Ambience great.

Wahnsinnig gute, originelle Küche!

Wir waren heute zum Brunch im Mariposa. Wir sind begeistert!! Grosse Empfehlung. Die Besitzerin macht originelle Speisen und stellt alles selbst her!
Die Karte ist übersichtlich, dafür ist alles frisch und die Rezepte sind selbst überlegt. Nicht teuer, sein Geld absolut Wert!

Pros: Ausschließlich vegane optionen, Alles selbst gemacht , Engagierte, leidenschaftliche Besitzerin

Cute and creative

The small restaurant, which is operated by two ladies working between kitchen and dining room, needs to be booked in advance to ensure seating: There are only three to four tables available in total!

The menu includes a choice of three starters, three main dishes, and one dessert item. The menu changes with the season.

Food can take quite some time to be served (up to 60 minutes), but it is obviously made lovingly by hand.

The taste of the food overall was ok (my dish was a little bit too salty, but I may be sensitive). The dishes consisted of a creative combination of mostly seasonal vegetables and were designed in a cute way. The touch and taste of home-made food.

Sublime

We've eaten in many vegan/vegetarian establishments throughout Europe and United States. To date, this may be one of the best vegan meals we've ever had. As other reviewer's have noted, this is a very tiny place, you are essentially in the owner/cook's house, but this only adds a level of charm that one can't create in any other way. Because everything is made to order, you are insured of exceptionally fresh and very tasty food. What a joy to find such a hidden gem in the old city in Nuremberg.

Pros: Exceptional food, Genuinely friendly staff/owner , Cozy environment

Like home

I loved it. They prepare the food at the moment. It can take some time but it is worthy. Very tasty and fresh. I tried the salad with figs and the cauliflower rice with beans and guacamole. Both were great. 100% recommended. It is a very small place, better to go early or to make a reservation.

Pros: All vegan, Unique food

Cons: Take some time

Ein absolutes Muss für Nbg

Immer wenn ich in Nürnberg bin, dann geh ich hin ... und an gewissen Tagen sogar 2x ... und das Warten lohnt sich immer ... zumal das gute Lammsbräu Bier die Zeit verkürzt ...

Pros: Vegan und super nett

Cons: Keine; Reservieren von Vorteil (empfehlenswert)

One of the Best restaurant's

I think it's one of the best restaurants in Nuremberg.
It's quite Small but the food more then great and the people there are very nice!
They're changing their menu every view months.
The kitchen is in the same room as the the tables, so you could watch your food being cooked! ;)

Pros: Only vegan food, Nice atmosphere, Nice people

Cons: A bit expensive

Unfortunate let down

Everything’s about this restaurant was great - the setting, the drinks, the starter, the service - except the main course. Sitting outside the beautiful restaurant I enjoyed a spiced mango lassi followed by a light carrot, bean and vegetable soup. All good. I decided on the sautéed garlic and herb mushrooms with polenta for my main. Unfortunately they were absolutely disgusting and I only forced them down so as not to waste food. They were far too salty and had the texture of small pieces of over- and undercooked potato. To be fair I should say that when I mentioned the issue to the staff, I was graciously given the option to exchange and was ultimately not charged for the meal. However, I don’t think it should have arrived in that state in the first place.

Pros: Pleasant setting, Good service, including response to issue, Nice drinks and starter

Cons: Terrible main

lovely place

Ate here twice during a recent stay in Nuremburg. The staff were very helpful and genuinely friendly. There were only a few items on the menu however the were really well made and used fresh local ingredients. Wish I could eat here more often

Wonderful find

Just came back from the most wonderful night at Mariposa. It’s tiny, and takes all night to eat, but that’s because the chef prepares everything fresh right there. We had to sit at the bar as it was packed, and she was explaining the food as she cooked, asking us how we liked the seasoning, and promised if it didn’t fill us up she’d make some more (it filled us up). The owner/chef is a passionate vegan, and the food is a result of a lifelong love of food. It’s rustic, Germanic, and bursting with flavour. Such a cute, friendly place. Highly recommended.

Old-fashioned slow-food vegan dining in intimate setting

Entering this ground-level establishment is like entering an 1800s stagecoach inn. You are transported to a slower-paced dining experience with country- or peasant-style portions. We enjoyed three different entries: a ground nut burger, risotto with strawberries and asparagus, and a potato and spinach stew. All delicious. The service was a little slow and sporadic: one person’s dish came after a wait then the next person’s dish came 20 minutes later and so on. Still, in exchange for that delay, we were never rushed out. It is a small menu: 3 appetizers, 3 entrees, and one dessert- all amazing. We were told the
Menu changes every two weeks.

Pros: Focused menu, Changing or updated menu, Generous and innovative offerings

Cons: Slow service , Limited seating; be sure to make a reservation

An experience of wholeness and wholesomeness

Everything is wonderful about Mariposa restaurant, the delicious food, the cozy ambience and the service with love that comes from the owner. This isn't a time for rushing or fast food but a time to soak in the best of natural nourishment and the joy of life that radiates from the heart of the owner and shows through in her food. My favorite restaurant in Germany, maybe in the world! We arrived early for lunch and were even treated to a beautiful song with harp playing!

There are only three dining tables and some outside seating when the weather is nice, so part of the experience may be sharing a table with new friends.

Pros: Everything in good time. Amazing vegan food prepar

Amazing service!!

I am currently on a raw food diet, I came to the restaurant and was very happy to meet Maria the owner and cook, even there was nothing Raw on the menu she offered to make a raw soup and amazing raw salad with creamy cashew dressing. Food there is absolutely amazing and it is prepared with allot of passion and love
I was in Nuremberg 2 days and had lunch at Mariposa both days :0)
Thank you Maria for saving my Raw food diet during my travelling.
I recommend this place to everyone from just wanting to try vegetarian for the first time to the most picky RawVegan on the planet
Go and try you will not regret :0)

Unmissable

This place is really special. Delicious, hearty, fresh vegan food is cooked right in front of you by the owner / chef / server. The atmosphere is lovely and the food is divine. Try the lentil muffin. Booking is a good idea given the nature of the place - it helps them to know how many they'll be cooking for especially off-season.

Pros: Delicious food , Great atmosphere , Lovely owner

Delicious!!

We were visiting Nürnberg for a few days and picked Mariposa for lunch just before we left the city. And oh god this was so delicious! I had a walnut steak with mashed potatoes and beetroot/apple salad and my small daughters shared a lasagna. All of us cleared the plates in 5mins ;) A must in Nürnberg! Too much salt for my taste but I don’t use salt at home, got used to what food tastes as it is.

Pros: hearty vegan dishes

Beautiful food, lovely home atmosphere

Mariposa can have 5 stars from me. The food was excellent - nourishing and delicious. The restaurant itself feels very homely, the two women (chef and waitress) were extremely friendly and made us feel very comfortable.

The only thing I would note is that they don't play music, which could add to the ambience of the place.

Cozy Restaurant with little options

The restaurant is cozy and the food is delicious. The staff is quite nice. But there are so few options. The portions are a bit small for the price.

Pros: cozy

Cons: expensive
