The best restaurants Thuringia

Why take the medieval experience to the table? That's what Wirtshaus Christoffel has to offer: guests sit around long wooden tables and on rustic chairs. Hanging on the wall are coats of arms and a large suit of armor guarding the entrance. The slightly kitsch menu, with its parchment and Gothic lettering, nevertheless features dishes that are truly based on medieval cuisine: stews, pork fat, roasts, game, meat in beer, cheese with grapes, cranberries... Plates that create a real originality!

Whether it's for a coffee or afternoon tea, a beer or cocktail in the evening, or a hearty dinner, Downtown will meet the expectations of gourmands. Somewhat removed from Gera's tourist area, the restaurant attracts mostly regulars. The late opening hours make it an ideal place for those arriving late in Gera. The menu ranges from meat dishes with sauce and egg to vegetable platters. Soups are particularly popular in winter. The warm ambience and (very) wide choice of drinks are particularly noteworthy.
