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. Kaffeehaus Riquet

    $

    The restored art nouveau house dates from 1908 has a pleasant Viennese-style coffeehouse upstairs—the best views are had from up here—and a noisier and more active café downstairs. Riquet is a company that has had dealings in the coffee trade in Africa and East Asia since 1745, as indicated by the large elephant heads adorning the facade of the building.

  • 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.
