"Villa Journal was an expected, but pleasant surprise. After visiting Castle Heiligenberg, we decided to drive back to Darmstadt for lunch, however on the way, we found this lovely restaurant. The place was very busy as it was lunch time and only one lady served...the food and took the orders. The food was very delicious and the place served quite large portions. We each had three courses and drinks and for three people the bill was euros. The restaurant is heavily decorated inside, but spacious. Locals seemed to come in for lunch, where they quietly read their newspapers. Parking is available at the back of the restaurant and it is free."
