In the heart of Mainz's old town, opposite the State Theatre, lies the city balcony at one of the liveliest squares in the city. The special feature: the elevated terrace with views of the Mainz Cathedral and the happenings around Gutenbergplatz. Here, one can observe the hustle and bustle of the city center, while the next specialties are already being prepared on the lava grill.

The menu ranges from burgers and steaks to grilled pizza, fresh salads, and vegan dishes. Regional wines from Rheinhessen, draft beer, and cocktails are served alongside. Whether for lunch, a relaxed evening with friends, or as a stopover after a stroll through the old town – the city balcony combines an urban lifestyle with one of the most beautiful views of the city center.

Due to its central location, the restaurant is ideal for a visit before or after a performance at the State Theatre as well as a culinary stop during a discovery tour of Mainz's old town.
