The best and biggest Klöße we've ever seen! We can't wait to come back
Close to the old bridge in the heart of Erfurt. Traditional food with meat and dumplings. Very good indeed.
One of the best restaurants in Erfurt! Great food, great drinks and with a pretty huge variety of all types of German and also some typical food from the Thüringen state. Very friendly service and not very expensive too. Definitely worth a visit!
Erfurt finest traditional tavern for Thuringian cuisine, featuring exceptional potato dumplings and a delectable gravy. Additionally, this restaurant offers a charming courtyard and a delightful beer garden.
Great authentic German food for a good price. Try the Thüringer Klöße!
Great local food in a good restaurant with very friendly staff.
Rostbratel was a bit thin, but the rest of the food was food. They ask you to pay contactless but only over 15€!? Just to save a few cents in fees, thats so 90s.
Pretty, cousy and lovely Deutsch atmosphere! Wonderful Beer! Reccommend.
