Stopped by for lunch on a whim. The place looks like a little piece of South Tyrol inside, really cozy. Food was fresh and tasty, nothing fancy but solid. Prices felt fair for what you get. Parking in the courtyard is handy, that&#39;s a plus in this town.

The place was packed when we got there, but somehow the staff still managed to be super attentive. Had the schnitzel, really crispy and juicy. The room itself is a bit loud though, all those voices bouncing off the walls. Still, the vibe felt alive, not chaotic. I&#39;d come back for that energy alone.

Stopped by for dinner and grabbed a glass of their house red&mdash;decent choice with the steak. Meat was cooked right, pulled pork had good smoky flavor. Prices fair for what you get. Frank&rsquo;s a friendly guy, made the whole thing feel easy. Place gets a bit busy, but that&rsquo;s fine.

The beer garden really is charming &mdash; that soft evening light through the trees got me. Service was attentive without hovering. Cabbage roll was spot on, asparagus fresh and snappy. Prices felt fair for what we got. Only tiny thing: the table was a bit wobbly, but honestly didn&#39;t bother me much. Would sit outside again. 🌿

Very nice, friendly, helping with everything. Will visit again.If you are not alone, try all the sides: all of them are greatSteaks: no steak is under 300g - chose wisely

The Mafiosi omelette was so good, definitely the highlight. Kaiserschmarrn was solid too, perfect for sharing with friends 😊

The terrace is the main draw here &mdash; got lucky with the weather and sat outside. Minestrone was solid, well-seasoned. Pizzas looked good too, though I didn&#39;t try one. Service was quick, no waiting around. Fine for a casual lunch if you&#39;re in the area.

The Thuringian dumplings were spot on, really tasted homemade. Red cabbage had that proper sweet-sour balance too. Only thing is the price&mdash;it&#39;s not cheap for what you get, even if the quality is there. I had the classic roast with gravy and it was filling, but I did pause at the bill. Fine for a treat, not for a regular weeknight.

Stumbled onto this place while wandering near Kr&auml;merbr&uuml;cke. Outdoor seating is perfect for watching people go by. Had a drink, stayed longer than planned. Nothing fancy, but the vibe was right. Service was a bit slow when it got busy, but I wasn&#39;t in a hurry anyway. Would come back for the location alone.

The pork knuckle was spot on &mdash; crispy skin, tender inside. Beer list is solid too. Fries tasted frozen though, which was a bit disappointing.

We asked for a corner table and got one, which was nice. Food was simple and good, nothing fancy. Some items felt a bit pricey for what you get, but the place emptied out and turned quiet. Decent enough.

The food was good and the staff were friendly, but I felt the prices were a bit high for the portions. A decent spot if you&#39;re nearby and don&#39;t want to think too hard about where to eat.

Stopped by for dinner after a long walk. Schnitzel was solid, crispy, not greasy. Beer came cold and cheap, which honestly made the whole thing better. Place is a bit out of the way, but that kept it from feeling touristy. Staff were friendly enough, though service slowed down when it got busy. Fine spot if you want real German food without the crowds.

The terrace is lovely in summer, and the inside is cozy too. Good value for the quality, and the staff make you feel at home.

Solid pizza for the price, no complaints. The outdoor seating is perfect for watching the street go by. Been here a few times now and it&#39;s always consistent.

The homemade cakes and tarts are really good, especially the apple tart. The interior is full of old-school furniture and knick-knacks, feels like sitting in someone&#39;s grandma&#39;s living room. Service was friendly, not pushy at all. We stayed way longer than planned just chatting. Only downside, it got a bit crowded around 3pm. Still, nice spot for a lazy afternoon with friends. 🙂

Nice vibe, music was just right for a chill evening. Cocktails were solid, though service took a bit. Would come back for a drink.

We stopped by for lunch and honestly the portions caught me off guard - in a good way. I barely touched my packed lunch afterwards. The food itself was tasty, nothing fancy but solid. Service was fine once we got our drinks, though that first wait was a bit longer than I&#39;d like. Seats were comfortable enough to just sit and take a break.

We asked for a special preparation and the kitchen nailed it. Chef clearly knows their stuff. Only wish the portion was a bit bigger.

The Diavola pizza was really good and our server checked in just the right amount. Didn&#39;t love the panna cotta though, the texture was off for me.

The courtyard at night is really something &mdash; warm lights and those little fire pits make it super cozy even when it&#39;s chilly. I tried one of their creative cocktails and it was well made, not too sweet. Staff was friendly but a bit stretched, so we waited a while for the bill. Still, nice spot to just hang out.

The pasta was the highlight &mdash; really fresh and well-made. Service got a bit slow when it got busy, but the food made up for it.

The tiramisu here is seriously good. Tastes like the ones I had in Italy, not too sweet, nice coffee kick. Had it after the pasta and honestly it was the best part of the meal. The limoncello was a nice little finish too. Place was a bit busy but worth it for that dessert alone.

Steak came fast even with the place packed. Garlic bread and spinach on the side did the job. Service kept up, no complaints there. Solid dinner for a busy night.

Been here twice already, still ordering the same thing every time. The spareribs are just too good, super tender and falling off the bone. Fries and the dipping sauces are solid too. Honestly haven&#39;t even looked at the rest of the menu yet. Maybe next time.

Decent lunch buffet for the price, though selection&#39;s limited. Friendly staff, but you gotta order a drink.

Best sushi I&rsquo;ve had in Erfurt so far. Fish was fresh, rice had the right bite. Tried the handmade ice cream after&mdash;solid choice, not too sweet. Place is small, so don&rsquo;t expect much room. Prices fair for what you get. Would go back.

Decent buffet with plenty of options. The Mongolian grill is a nice touch. Nothing mind-blowing, but it fills you up. Fine for a casual dinner.
