Gretchen's Cafe & Restaurant

We were here for breakfast. I would recommend booking it before. You do not have the buffet Covid 19 but very friendly staff and service. You get a nice breakfast and can order everything you can eat. I highly recommend it!

Wir wurden zum Abendessen und zum Frühstück äußerst freundlich begrüßt und bedient. Fleischesser und Vegetarier werden hier fündig und unser Geschmack wurde auf jeden Fall getroffen. Dazu das moderne warme Ambiente uns haben die Besuche sehr gefallen.

Gretchen's small restaurant in a narrow alley of Weimar is sooo cozy, and the staff is very, very friendly. The kitchen is quite normal. We had pasta with chantelles that drown in cream. And two creamy desserts that force us back to WALK...Denmark to neutralize calories. Why not try with some spices and vegetables instead of fat, guys? Visualizza piatti

Seit der Übernahme des Gretchens durch die Brotklappe ist das Frühstück hier leider keine Empfehlung mehr.Die angebotenen Speisen an sich geschmacklich gut,allerdings für ältere Menschen aufgrund der ca.5cm dicken Brotscheiben mit krosser Kruste nicht händelbar. Für Kinder gibt es keine speziellen Frühstücksangebote ,ausser vielleicht einem Croissant mit Honig für über 6 Euro ! Das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis ist nicht nachvollziehbar.

When we first stepped in and looked at the menu, we were a little concerned, because the menu seemed quite limited. However, looking more closely, we guessed that they were really focused on vegetarian food, which, if you're like me, isn't what you expect in Germany, but we decided to go for it. The Spinach Knödel and the truffled tagliatelle were both out of this world, and paired fantastically with a sparkling Reisling. Service was attentive and friendly as well. The tiny garden seating is almost magical, with architecture that reminded me of the Alps somehow. And the quiet mostly bossa nova music in the background would make this a perfect romantic meal location.

Well, besides the place which plays in another league and which we didn 't visit. But this meal was superb. We started with the Pimento 's which were served with the best sauce we have ever had and delicious home-made bread. Just for this starter the restaurant...is worth a detour. As second course we had Tagliatelle with wild Broccoli and Saibling with, let 's say, young onion green Frühlingslauch . The vegetables were again excellent, while the tagliatelle were a bit too much on the al dente side. The fish was nice, no problem. As desert we had a portion oeufs à la neige freshly prepared, the work in the kitchen was audible. Wines Prosecco, Riesling, Zweigeld were great as well and service... Visualizza piatti

We had lunch here during the Church-day weekend at Weimar. The restaurant was quite full but we got one table luckily. They have special lunch menu which is very good value. You have a light main dish and eat-as-much-as-you-can salad bar. The waitress took our...order very quickly and our food arrived shortly after that. We all had fish soup with freshly-baked bread with some garlic dip. Everything was perfect. The salad bar offers a variety of salads and they are superb too. It was also ideal for a hot day. The meal didn't look big but we were quite full afterward so we had to skip the cakes which looked very inviting. The interior is modern, the chairs are very comfortable. Even though thi...

Couldn't believe the most appalling treatment from the waiter over Christmas on taking my parents to a supposedly friendly atmosphere and retaraunt from the minute we walked into the restaraunt and asked a simple question of which table we could sit at and if it was self service or not! On just smiling and waving to acknowledge we were at the back of the restaraunt waiter comes up slams the menus on the table and demands to know what I'm doing...! When I tried to speak just cut me dead and so I said it was probably best to go as he was so rude to which he replied yes please go I don't want to serve people like you, then went to another table and loudly proclaimed for the whole restaraunt to...
