Ballenberger - Restaurant - Erfurt

A pleasant little restaurant with light, well-thought dishes, beautifully presented, instead of the indispensable lumps of overcooked meat with dumplings, a flushing in thick brown “grass” that are typical for local cuisine. I started with cancer, accompanied by raspberries, dill and crispy Papadam. It was... good, although the sweet raspberries (not mentioned in the menu) dominated the more subtle taste of cancers. As the main thing, we both chose the chest of the Corn-Fed chicken, which is of the highest quality and beautifully cooked, accompanied by green asparagus. The panna cotta desert was delicious enough. We drank a pretty routine house of Pinot Noir. Euro 100 for two. If I were to live in Erfurt, I would come back!

We highly enjoyed this brunch meal. I had the eggs and mushroom with a croissant which was divine. The coffee was delicious and staff was extremely friendly. I will return.

This restaurant is nicely decorated but employs the rudest waitress I have ever come across like a female Basil Fawlty! I wanted lunch for a group of people I work with and as it is quite a large group, I called in to book...in case they need to put tables together, etc. All I got was sarcasm and haugtiness from the waitress, who acted as if I was taking up too much of her time, although I was there less than two minutes, and the place was empty, apart from one couple, who overheard her. We exchanged sympathetic looks as I assume she had been rude to them as well. Needless to say, we will be going elsewhere. I have also occassionally popped in here for coffee as I work nearby, and although they have never been so directly rude before, they never make any effort to be pleasant. They give you your order and take your money and that is that no smiles, no Danke schön or Bitte schön. If you are only in Erfurt for a few days, there are plenty of nice cafes and restaurants no need to ruin your holiday by coming to this place to be treated rudely.

This cute restaurant is located in the historic center of Erfurt behind the Krämerbrücke . It 's passionately managed. The furniture and food is somewhat in french style. The menu changes every week depending on the seasonal fresh products. There is a selection of starters, small dishes,...bigger main courses and also homemade cakes. And every time I was eating there it was really delicious.

Es ist etwas anders hier, kein typisches Restaurant sondern wie eine Wohnzimmer oder auch Lesesaal mit Schaufenster. In der Mitte steht eine kleine Ladentheke mit Käse und Wurstspezialitäten. Dahinter befindet sich die halboffene Küche. Die Karte umfasst einige wenige Speisen, aber es ist ausreichend und jeder sollte etwas finden. Geschmacklich kann ich sagen, dass es sehr gut abgeschmeckt war. Die Burrata mit Salat war für mich eine glatte 1,0. Der Fisch war ebenfalls sehr gut. Nur dem Iberico Filet haben etwas Röstaromen gefehlt, der Garpunkt war trotzdem genau getroffen.Die Weinkarte ist in Ordnung, auch hier findet man etwas. Es war zwar nicht voll, aber der Service war nicht immer präsent. Eventuell lag es daran, dass die junge Frau auch noch Cocktails hinter der Theke zubereitete. Daher kam es mal immer zu etwas längeren Wartezeiten. Aufgrund der sehr guten Küche wäre es auch nicht in Ordnung hier ein befriedigend zu vergeben, dafür ist ein einfach zu gut und die Mitarbeiter geben sich auch sichtlich Mühe.
