Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia Restaurants

Enterprising young managers and chefs are well established in the East, so look for new, usually small, trendy restaurants. People in the region are extremely particular about their traditional food (rumor has it that one can be deported for roasting Mützbraten over anything other than birch). Some new creative chefs successfully blend contemporary regional German with international influences. Medieval-theme restaurants and "experience dining," complete with entertainment, are all the rage in the East, and, despite being often quite kitschy, warrant at least one try. As the region slowly rediscovers its tremendous beer heritage, microbreweries and brewpubs have sprouted up in almost every city. Pubs are a good bet for meeting locals.

  • 1. Bartel's

    $$

    Bartel's riffs on traditional German fare with a contemporary twist, meaning plenty of lighter choices like chef's salad with plenty of crisp fresh veggies, asparagus soup, and whole local trout, along with the tried-and-true meat-based favorites: roast leg of lamb, veal with horseradish and boiled potatoes, scalloped pork, and Argentinian rump steak. The bright, attractive dining room is a welcome departure from rustic beamed ceilings and the usual gasthaus atmosphere.

  • 2. Memory Café

    $

    Sometimes only a pizza will do, and this bright, unpretentious café has enough pizza variations, including lots of vegetarian options, to satisfy any craving. For dessert, choose from 50 flavors of ice cream, 16 of which are made on the premises. An in-restaurant bar featuring the local beer on tap and wine by the glass or bottle, homemade desserts and waffles, and an outdoor terrace make this an all-around winner.

  • 3. Schlemmer-Eck

    $

    A meat lover's paradise, this rustic German restaurant-café, with outdoor seating in summer, serves up hearty local fare in a friendly, no-frills setting. You'll recognize all of the favorites, including pork schnitzel "Cordon Bleu" and the classic wiener schnitzel, served with boiled potatoes, fresh mushrooms, peas and carrots, homemade beef liver, giant meatballs, and a juicy Saxon sausage. Vegetarians are happily accommodated with a good selection of salads and veggie side dishes. For this much food, prices are incredibly reasonable.

  • 4. Strandgut Bio Restaurant

    $$

    You can be sure that nary a toxin or additive will pass your lips at this organic outpost set in a handsome house on the banks of the Elbe, where diners can stroll by the gardens that provided their salads and veggies or dine on the lawn and watch the boats glide by. Fresh, seasonal, no GMOs, and humane treatment are a few of the exacting standards for your meal; the others are great taste, plentiful portions, and a pleasing presentation for dishes like Ayervedic tabbouleh with grilled veggies and pear-chutney chili, baked oyster mushrooms and lime-cucumber-avocado salad, cod fillet with a butter parmesan crust, or sea bream risotto.
