The five-course tasting menu was beautifully plated, every dish had real flavor. Service stayed attentive without hovering.

The courtyard with the wisteria in bloom is really something. We sat outside and it felt like a little escape. Had the fish, which was cooked properly, flaky and fresh. Service was attentive without hovering. It&#39;s not cheap though, you pay for the setting and the quality. Fine for a special evening, but I wouldn&#39;t go every week.

Came here for lunch after crossing the bridge &mdash; super convenient spot. I ordered one thing and got something else, probably my bad with the German menu, ha. The mix-up dish was actually really good though. Wouldn&#39;t mind going back to try what I originally wanted 😄

The Thuringian bratwurst here is properly done, not heavy at all. Courtyard seating makes it worth coming back to, even if the service gets a bit scattered when it&#39;s busy.

What an incredible place. Great interiors and tasty dishes. Great wine list, too. Last but not least: outstanding, attentive service.

Solid French spot. Onglet was properly tender, gratin potatoes hit the spot. One of the better ones I&#39;ve had in Germany.

We stopped by for lunch and grabbed a table outside. The beer garden is tucked away so you don&rsquo;t really see it from the street, but once you&rsquo;re in there it&rsquo;s pretty chill. Food was solid, nothing fancy, just hearty and filling. Beers were good too. Wouldn&rsquo;t mind coming back if I&rsquo;m in the area again.

Breakfast buffet had solid options and the coffee was decent. Staff kept things moving even when it got busy. Nothing fancy but does the job for a quick morning meal.

The pizza here really is something else. Thin crust, not too heavy, toppings balanced just right. I had the margherita and it felt fresh, not greasy at all. One of my go-to places in Weimar when I want something simple and tasty. Maybe not the cheapest, but the quality makes up for it.

Came here with a couple of friends on a weekday evening. The food was really good, portions are big so come hungry. We shared a few dishes and the house beer was a nice touch. Staff were friendly too. Just keep in mind it&rsquo;s cash only, which almost got us. Also, definitely book ahead, place filled up fast. 😅

The menu prices made me hesitate, but honestly, the portions are generous and the quality matches. Kids&#39; play corner is small but thoughtful. Left satisfied.

The pork knuckle was spot on. Crispy skin, tender inside, proper amount of salt. Portion big enough that I couldn&#39;t finish it. Didn&#39;t really pay attention to the decor or service, but the taste alone makes me want to come back. Prices fair for what you get.

Steak was good, but &euro;45 without sides feels steep. Nice place, just not somewhere I&#39;d go every week. Fine for a treat though.

Came for the schnitzel, stayed for the beer garden. Portions are huge, honestly couldn&rsquo;t finish mine. Service was quick but not pushy. Just wish the outdoor seating had a bit more shade, it got pretty warm. Still, solid spot if you&rsquo;re in the area and hungry.

The tabbouleh and labneh tasted like what I remember from home. Portions are decent for the price, though the place gets busy fast.

Nice old-school Viennese caf&eacute; vibe. Staff were sharp and friendly. Cake and coffee did the job. Solid spot if you&#39;re nearby.

The burger was decent&mdash;cooked well and the bun held up nicely. Only thing: soft drinks cost more than I&rsquo;d usually pay elsewhere. Food quality kind of makes up for it though. Fine spot if you&rsquo;re in the area and want something simple.

The view from the glass building over Erfurt is something else. I went up just to have a drink and watch the city change light in the late afternoon. Really peaceful up there. My drink was fine, nothing fancy, but honestly the panorama makes it worth the stop. Just wish they had a few more fresh juice options on the menu.

The wild boar roast was the standout &ndash; so tender, really full of flavor. I wasn&#39;t expecting much from a touristy spot, but the meat was cooked properly. Sides were decent too, nothing fancy but fresh. Place was a bit noisy for my taste, but I&#39;d go back just for that dish.

We came for dinner and honestly left impressed. The waiter actually knew the menu inside out, which made choosing easy. Food was solid, didn&#39;t break the budget either. I had a glass of their house red with the steak&mdash;decent pairing, nothing fancy but it worked. Place was quiet enough for a proper conversation. Maybe not the most exciting spot, but it does what it does well.

Pizza was decent, nothing crazy. Had the margherita and a coffee before my train. Crust was chewy enough, sauce tasted fresh. Place was packed with locals, so that says something. Fine for a quick bite, wouldn&#39;t go out of my way for it though.

The vegetarian stuff here is solid. Had the Elephant Plate, falafel was fluffy and not too heavy on spices. Presentation looked nice too. Good spot if you&#39;re plant-based and tired of the usual sad salad options.

Decent spot for a proper Italian feel. Aperol spritz was well made, not too sweet. Service friendly enough, though it took a moment to get the bill. I&#39;d come back if I&#39;m in the area. Pretty good overall.

The staff were lovely and the food looked almost too good to eat. Portions were generous, and I noticed they fully reset the tables between guests. Nice touch.

We stopped by on a warm evening and grabbed a table on the terrace. The bifteki was nicely seasoned, you could tell it wasn&rsquo;t from a freezer. Service was friendly enough, though we did wait a bit for the bill. Fine for a relaxed dinner if you&rsquo;re not in a hurry.

Solid German food right in Weimar&#39;s center. The Rostbr&auml;tel was really good, one of the better ones I&#39;ve had. Prices fair for the spot. Service friendly but a bit slow.

Been coming here for a while now. Food&#39;s always solid, never had a bad meal. Staff are friendly enough, though sometimes the language barrier shows with a few of the international folks. Never really bothered us though. Just point at the menu and you&#39;re fine.

The food came fast and stayed warm on those little candle plates&mdash;nice touch. Place is a bit tight inside, but I didn&#39;t mind much. Good enough for a casual meal.
