Alte Schule in Eisenach

The ambiance is great. The food and service are okay, but not quite up to scratch. The rump steak (€30) was medium-well done and quite small. The schnitzel had more of a frozen-food vibe. The kitchen was flexible, though; I requested salad instead of fries.

We went here because of the good reviews. Unfortunately, we can't understand them at all. Yes, the ambiance is nice, the service too, but the food and drinks were, unfortunately, an absolute disaster. A Hugo with lemon... The pork schnitzel is almost certainly frozen and tasted accordingly. The fact that the food was ready in less than 10 minutes doesn't speak volumes about the quality. For €20.90, that's honestly outrageous, and you could almost expect a real Wiener schnitzel for that. Unfortunately, we can't recommend this place at all.

The "Alte Schule" (Old School) tries to offer high-priced, diverse regional cuisine. Service and quality are only average, but the drinks are simply too expensive. The ambiance is pleasant. Conclusion: Not recommended. That was the unanimous opinion of our entire group... Never again. There are much nicer, cheaper, and better restaurants in Eisenach.

Very good service, the food was very good and plentiful.

I had beef liver, which was garnished like a shoe sole, with far too many canned fried onions and soggy, lukewarm fried potatoes. I think it's outrageous to pay almost €25 for that.

The food was delicious, and the best part is the service cube! I'd love to come back 👍

A great atmosphere, very attentive staff, and delicious food. We'd love to come back.

Great ambience, very friendly service and our food was simply delicious

Unfortunately, we couldn't sit outside due to the threat of rain, but were seated nicely inside. The service was very prompt and attentive, perhaps thanks in part to a Bluetooth cube on the table. The prices were a bit "exaggerated" for us (e.g., for the salads), but they were worth it considering the size. Personally, I could imagine someone not finishing that portion. Perhaps something smaller and cheaper? Just food for thought! My grilled pork steak was a little dry, and the sauce lacked depth. But it was still tasty. My husband praised the beef liver. It was accompanied by a very good Sauvignon Blanc and a non-alcoholic beer, both well chilled. All in all, a successful evening.

The Old School is a nice, slightly more upscale restaurant. The ambiance is stylish and you feel at home. I had nothing to complain about with the food. I had a picanha. These are five small pieces of beef that were well seasoned. It came with regular fries (you can also order sweet potatoes), a small salad, and bowls of chimichurry and a herb dip. My wife had a chicken burger, but the bun was unfortunately a bit dry. For starters, we had the Bruschetta Old School in four varieties (two different cheeses, classic and with herb cream and mushrooms), which was quite good. Next time, though, I would go for the classic one. We also had feta in puff pastry, which you should definitely try. It was fantastic. I really like the concept of the dice on the table, which you can use to call the waiter or order the bill. And it worked really well. In general, the service was very attentive and prompt. The online reservation worked well. It's also a good idea to make a reservation; when we visited, all the tables were occupied.

It didn't taste that bad, but seriously: Almost €20 for a plate of pasta with canned mushrooms? That was the case with all four dishes: inferior (ready-made) ingredients (including imitation cheese) at far too high prices. Service took a long time at first, but later got faster. Atmosphere: It was fine outside in good weather. Conclusion: Food lacking in love, prices exorbitant. (Poor value for money)

At the demopark, the staff was very stressed and under pressure. Food 👍 so you're happy to wait a bit longer.

We can't comment on the food, as we only had drinks there. The staff was friendly and nice. Now for the negatives: If you order a cocktail (a Caipirinha), I expect crushed ice in the glass, not ice cubes. They really skimped on the alcohol! The taste wasn't great, and for 10.90, I would have expected something better.

The Alte Schule is a good restaurant with a pleasant atmosphere, good food at fair prices, and attentive staff. I'd be happy to return with my next seminar group.

We're here on vacation, which is a real shame. Not that we're here on vacation, but that we certainly won't be able to come back anytime soon. We were thrilled with everything and hope the chef enjoyed it too. Best wishes.

The food was excellent and the service extremely friendly.

Magnificent location...sensational cuisine...very friendly and attentive service...you absolutely have to check it out 😋

Very cozy, great food and excellent service!

The restaurant was highly praised, so I was rather chastened afterward. Mainstream food, well decorated but lacking in refinement. Too expensive, in my opinion. What left a lasting, positive impression was the attentive and friendly service. The outdoor area is lovely, but hard to find at dinnertime.

Very good food with huge portions. Friendly waiter! Some of the tables are outside, facing the street, but that didn't bother us. Definitely recommend it! Great ambiance inside.

Long waiting time, but food really very good

Very tasty and plentiful. The service was friendly and prompt. A very nice location, though the noise from the guests was a bit noticeable.

Cool location, good food, and very friendly staff. I can only recommend this restaurant.

If you wanna be ignored - feel free to come here

A very disappointing experience. We waited over an hour and a half for our drinks and almost two hours for the food. The service was completely disorganized, no one really cared – and there wasn't even an apology. When the food was finally ready, we had to take it with us because we had to move on. They also packed the wrong dishes for us. There was little response to our feedback, just a minimal discount. Overall, a very frustrating experience – not recommended. I will definitely never go to this restaurant again.

During our vacation near Eisenach, we had dinner at the Alte Schule twice and were absolutely thrilled both times :-) The ambiance is exceptional, the service outstanding, and the food hard to beat! Special mention goes to the rack of lamb, which is incredibly delicious.

Very tasty menu and nice, atmospheric ambience, as well as a very modern way of ordering!

Very tasty food, everything fresh and good, service also very friendly

Great food and fantastic service. Highly recommended.

Refined hospitality in a pleasant environment. Delicious food and drinks with fast and friendly service.

Yes, absolutely! Delicious food and drinks. My dish was rack of lamb, cooked to perfection, super juicy, and very well seasoned, the best I've ever eaten, top notch. Thank you and compliments to the chef!

Gastronomy as you would expect! The food, ambiance, and, above all, the personal service from the owner exceeded our expectations.

Highly recommended. Super delicious food. Very friendly staff.

We were guests at the "Alte Schule" with 17 people. 17 hungry people walked into the Alte Schule, and after a good two hours, 17 satisfied, full, and happy people left the restaurant... How did that happen? Find out for yourself. We'd definitely love to go back to the (Alte)Schule ;-)

Super delicious food. Very good service. Highly recommended, would go back anytime. Better reserve a table.

Good food. Lots of it. Not expensive. Service was via a box so not much interaction.

Lovingly decorated restaurant with good food and drinks.

Beautiful ambiance. Excellent food. Make sure to make a reservation on weekends.

Very nice ambiance. Attentive, friendly service! The menu was varied, and my roasted beef liver was spot-on and very tasty. Review update 01.03.24; We were back at the old school for a family dinner for the first time in a while. Everyone really liked the menu (they even had Jägerschnitzel, GDR-style or old-school style ;-)) and the dishes, and they tasted good. The price-performance ratio was good. Using the service cube, the waiter was at the table almost immediately, and our requests were fulfilled very quickly and with great friendliness! There was nothing to complain about!

Everything fits together here. The people who work here radiate warmth and calm. We were able to enjoy our really excellent meal completely undisturbed because we were able to decide for ourselves when we wanted to use the digital service cube on our table. After the theater we went straight back to the restaurant and enjoyed a delicious cocktail in a very atmospheric ambience and well-selected music. We will definitely come back and recommend this insider tip.

Nice atmosphere and very tasty food! The service was also great! We'd love to come back.

We had a wonderful evening at the old school yesterday! We were greeted very friendly, the atmosphere in the restaurant is great! The Tataki was highly recommended, really good! And the ravioli was also a culinary delight! The idea with the cubes on the table, which you can tap for “service” or the desire to pay, is great. They then change the light color and send a signal to the waiter’s tablet. We'd love to come back! If this restaurant existed in my home country, I would be a regular!

A great restaurant with a great atmosphere. The food is not run-of-the-mill food, it is very special. I would always go there to eat. Price-performance is also great.

Nice atmosphere, but overall the restaurant makes a stylish, efficient and therefore impersonal impression. We also found the food (and drinks) to be significantly too expensive for the quality offered. The antipasti platter was mainstream, but a bit unimaginative and neutral in taste, there is no daily menu, otherwise we couldn't really see a clear line in the menu. The burgers were good, they seem to specialize in that here. The order cube for ordering is a supposedly good idea; someone usually comes quickly, but of course you lose sight of the little things that aren't actively requested. It's a shame, in my opinion, you could do more with it overall, especially given the prices asked.

The food and ambience were a solid 5. The service was underground! The drinks we ordered only came after the starter and long after that. After the meal, our plates were left on the table until we paid. One waiter after another walked past without taking anything. From our point of view, unfortunately 2 points for this as there is absolutely a lot of catching up to do.

We had dinner at the Alte Schule Eisenach restaurant on Saturday. The food was really of a very high standard, both in terms of taste and appearance. The waiters were very friendly, despite the restaurant being completely full. Very big recommendation. ☺️

Super Service , leckeres Essen bei einem coolen Ambiente, nette Coctailbar, ein absolut empfehlenswertes Restaurant in der Altstadt von Eisenach

A new experience for us, registered by email, friendly welcome and service, food was delicious for us, nice atmosphere, you can see that it works

Very nice restaurant with a great selection of food and great service! The food tasted very, very good! We'd love to come back!

The food is great and the wine is great! We'd love to come back!

Waited more than 20 min for a drink when the restaurant was half empty…

We were there yesterday and were really impressed by the staff, the atmosphere and the food. Thank you very much and gladly again. Claudia and Jens

The three of us ate here yesterday and were pleasantly surprised by the food and the service. However, a reservation is worth it.

Nothing special. Both in terms of food and ambience. For the price you would have expected more. The service was good.

Always incredibly tasty with a great ambience and super friendly staff. Definitely a must in Eisenach!

Service, ambience, everything was great! But I was very disappointed with my burger. Just under €21 for a burger with a few fries and two dips. The citizen's roll was cold, was on the grill for 2 seconds and is the cheap junk from Aldi with sesame. For the price I expect a decent roll, if not homemade then at least something better. Meat was OK for that.

Very tasty, highly recommended 👍🏻

Very nice restaurant, great ambience, very good overall concept, not too big of a menu, something for every taste. Very difficult to decide. Gladly again at any time. Thanks to the team.

We ordered for 17 people. A wonderfully prepared table was waiting for us. Super tasty food and very good service

Good food, great service. Innovative ordering options.

Great service, great food, great ambience. Very good location. We'll come back when we're in Eisenach.

The online reservation was uncomplicated. The service staff were very friendly. The food was world class and the choice was not easy for us. It was a successful evening for us and we would like to come back.

The Alte Schule has been on my list as a restaurant for a long time. Reservation on a Saturday evening is definitely recommended. The ambience is very tasteful and the beautiful, large counter is particularly impressive. The service was consistently friendly and we were really impressed by the option of “little cubes” on the tables. There were five of us and everyone chose a different dish - in addition to sea bream, burgers and schnitzel, picanha was also absolutely convincing in terms of taste. You also have to mention the very tasty fries. A successful evening and an absolute recommendation.

The atmosphere is very cozy and the staff is super friendly and very attentive. It's not exactly cheap, but the quality and taste is great. A big compliment to the kitchen.

Everything was great, friendly, attentive staff, fast service 🫠

Tolles modernes Restaurant mit guten Services und Top Speisen! Kann ich nur Empfehlen. Im Nachgang haben wir noch zwei Cocktails getrunken und die waren auch richtig GUT. 5 von 5 Punkten gerne wieder!

Beautiful atmosphere, very courteous and attentive staff. The food is indescribably good: compliments! This restaurant is worth a visit at any time . We will come back!!!

Were there for the first time and for the last time. Extremely overpriced for really bad food.

Beautiful atmosphere with super friendly staff, but unfortunately the food is only ready-made products. A schnitzel made from fries, pressed molded meat is not possible for this price range. It's a shame, the concept is actually really nice.

We decided to go to this restaurant in the morning to have dinner and immediately made a reservation online, which worked brilliantly. The interior design is stylish and rustic at the same time. The choice of food is varied and there is something for everyone. The food tasted very good and was also beautifully presented. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The restaurant is in a good location if you want to go to the State Theater later.

We had reserved, but our table was still occupied, but we got another table. The food with the different components each had a different taste, I couldn't really say whether I found it delicious or just strange.

Full marks from us. I spent a great evening with my birthday guests with excellent food and service. There was an unexpected birthday surprise from the team. Soooo mega! Thank you very much! Recommendation from the bottom of my heart.

Highly recommended! The food is very tasty and the drinks are very attractively decorated and highly recommended.

A reservation is recommended. Wonderful atmosphere. We had a great evening. Service was top. Thanks!

We have been going there for several years and are always very satisfied. The prices have become more expensive but the portions have remained the same and the quality is great. The cocktails are also incredibly tasty and always have an appropriate amount of ice cubes. After a certain time it gets busier and therefore louder, but that's not a problem for us. The staff is very attentive and quick, the cube to order is also a good idea.

We spontaneously walked past it and thought "that looks nice" and actually: nice ambience, nice service and delicious food. This service cube was interesting and worked great - I've never seen it anywhere before.

Yesterday we celebrated a birthday with dinner at the Alte Schule restaurant in my former home town of Eisenach. The ambience is tasteful, although the tables are a bit close together. You stroke the back of the person sitting behind you on the hair when you have to go to the office. The service is courteous, even if you notice that not every employee is an expert. But this is more than compensated for by a high level of attention. The menu is a pleasing mix of modern interpretations of classic dishes. Whether fish, meat or vegetarian, there is something for everyone. I chose the Saganaki (hopefully I remember this correctly) prawns as a starter, the beef liver with onions and fried potatoes and the panna cotta with caramel sauce. All courses were excellent, very tasty and well portioned, the chef knows his craft. The Negroni as an aperitif was good but quite small, the red wine was tasty considering the price, the espresso was good and hot. So recommended across the board, a good place to spend a successful evening in good company! Fun fact; I actually went to school in this building from 1979 to 1981...

Everything was perfect! The food has always tasted very good! I also try a different dish every time I'm in the area! The service was very nice and accommodating! ! You can call service from the table via Ordercube! 😊

Highest recommendation from the bottom of my heart!!! We had actually reserved a table at another restaurant. We then got a call that that restaurant had to close at short notice and that a table in the old school had been reserved for us. We arrived at the restaurant about an hour before our reserved time, which was no problem at all. The service was great, very friendly and unobtrusive, but immediately there when we needed something. In the end, the boss himself even took over the service, very nice and attentive, which really impressed us. But the best thing was simply the food. We both had the impression that we had never eaten so well! We are still raving about the food and the visit and have already reserved a table for our next visit to Eisenach. Absolute recommendation from the bottom of my heart! And big compliments to the entire staff. We look forward to being your guests again soon!

Wir hatten eigentlich einen Tisch in einem anderen Restaurant reserviert. Wir bekamen dann einen Anruf, dass eben jenes Restaurant kurzfristig schließen musste und wir nun ein Tisch in der alten Schule für uns reserviert wurde. Wir kamen etwa eine Stunde vor unserer reservierten Zeit im Restaurant an, was überhaupt kein Problem darstellte. Der Service war super, sehr freundlich und unaufdringlich, aber sofort zur Stelle, wenn wir etwas brauchten. Zum Ende hat sogar der Chef selbst den Service übernommen, sehr nett und aufmerksam, was uns sehr beeindruckt hat. Das Beste aber war schlicht das Essen. Wir hatten beide den Eindruck, noch nie sooo gut gegessen zu haben! Wir schwärmen heute noch von dem Essen und dem Besuch und haben bereits für unseren nächsten Besuch in Eisenach einen Tisch reserviert. Absolute Empfehlung aus vollem Herzen! Und großes Lob an das gesamte Personal. Wir freuen uns sehr, bald wieder eure Gäste zu sein!

It was as I expected. Simply great. Tip top. Great, keep it up. Kind regards, TZ

Absolute recommendation if you want to eat very well in a great atmosphere in Eisenach.

We had a wonderful evening together with our friends. Delicious food, great service in a relaxed atmosphere. Thanks to the entire team. We'd love to come back.

Tolle eigentümliche besondere Einrichtung mit viel Holz, Leder und besonderen Lampen. Sehr schönes Restaurant! Kein Witz, das war eines der besten Rumpsteak, dass ich je gegessen habe. Perfekt gewürzt, frisches Gemüse und gebratene Kartoffeln mit herrlicher Sour cream. Da musste ich dann noch den "Schoko Lava cake Soufflé" ausprobieren und wurde nicht enttäuscht - ein Gedicht von einem Dessert! Hier gehe ich auf jeden Fall wieder hin, wenn ich in Eisenach bin. Der Service war auch spitze!

A place to feel good. Great ambience and courteous staff. Great, keep it up.

Cozy restaurant with delicious food and drinks. Price-performance is right. It was a great evening!

Restaurantkritik: Die „Alte Schule“ in Eisenach – ein kulinarisches Muss Wer in Eisenach auf der Suche nach einem außergewöhnlichen kulinarischen Erlebnis ist, kommt an der „Alten Schule“ am Theaterplatz nicht vorbei. Dieses Restaurant, das durch sein modernes Ambiente im Barcharakter besticht, schafft es spielend, eine einladende und entspannte Atmosphäre mit gehobenem Genuss zu verbinden. Bereits beim Betreten des Lokals beginnt das Erlebnis: Der Inhaber selbst nimmt sich die Zeit, jeden Gast persönlich zu begrüßen und zum Tisch zu begleiten. Eine Geste, die heute leider viel zu selten geworden ist und hier für ein Gefühl von Wertschätzung sorgt. Das gesamte Personal zeigt sich ebenso aufmerksam und professionell, ohne dabei aufdringlich zu wirken – ein perfekt abgestimmtes Zusammenspiel, das dem Gast das Gefühl gibt, willkommen und bestens umsorgt zu sein. Die Küche der „Alten Schule“ überzeugt auf ganzer Linie. Ein besonderes Highlight ist das Steak, das hier auf den Punkt gegart serviert wird – saftig, aromatisch und mit einer Kruste, die jeden Steak-Liebhaber ins Schwärmen bringt. Dazu wird ein Rotwein gereicht, der perfekt temperiert und hervorragend abgestimmt ist. Auch bei den weiteren Gerichten zeigt sich ein hohes Niveau: Von der Vorspeise bis zum Dessert wird hier jedes Detail bedacht, um die Gäste mit kreativen, geschmackvollen und optisch ansprechenden Kreationen zu begeistern. Die „Alte Schule“ versteht es, Genuss und Gastfreundschaft zu einem Gesamtkunstwerk zu vereinen. Wer also in Eisenach gut essen gehen möchte, sollte sich diese Adresse nicht entgehen lassen. Ein Besuch hier ist mehr als nur ein Essen – es ist ein Erlebnis, das man gerne wiederholen möchte.

If you are looking for an extraordinary culinary experience in Eisenach, you cannot miss the “Alte Schule” on Theaterplatz. This restaurant, which impresses with its modern bar-like ambience, easily manages to combine an inviting and relaxed atmosphere with sophisticated enjoyment. The experience begins as soon as you enter the restaurant: the owner himself takes the time to personally greet each guest and accompany them to the table. A gesture that has unfortunately become far too rare today and creates a feeling of appreciation here. The entire staff is equally attentive and professional, without appearing intrusive - a perfectly coordinated interaction that gives the guest the feeling of being welcome and well looked after. The “Old School” cuisine is convincing across the board. A special highlight is the steak, which is served here cooked to perfection - juicy, aromatic and with a crust that will make any steak lover rave. A red wine that is perfectly tempered and excellently balanced is served with it. The other dishes are also of a high standard: from the starter to the dessert, every detail is considered in order to delight the guests with creative, tasty and visually appealing creations. The “Old School” knows how to combine enjoyment and hospitality into a complete work of art. So if you want to go out for a good meal in Eisenach, you shouldn't miss this address. A visit here is more than just a meal - it's an experience you'll want to repeat.

Very nice and attentive service, that's why the two stars. The rest... underground! I had a chicken burger with bad toppings, the chicken was fried far too dark and dry, the burger bun was bone dry and tasteless, the burger sauce was plain. In short, it couldn't have been done worse. The wine spritzer may have stiffened a wine, but nothing more. All three starter plates were broken, the salt shaker was almost empty and the outside was dirty and greasy. The olive oil bottle had more oil on the outside than inside. Simply unprofessional.

Some different music wouldn't be bad, but otherwise everything would be great!!! A big thumbs up 👍

the place is really beautiful, the atmosphere is warm and inviting. The food was fresh and tasty, especially the fish dish was very good. The staff was very friendly and helpful, the waiters were also very attentive. a great place to eat in peace and have a good time

Very friendly and fast service. The theater visit will be taken into account so that you can finish on time.

We were guests in her house last night and were absolutely thrilled! Friendly welcome at the door, great service and very tasty food, what more could you want? It was a very successful evening in an atmosphere that exactly suits our taste. Many many thanks! We'll definitely see each other again!

All around nice restaurant. The only thing to complain about is that when paying with an EC card, the tip is offered as a percentage. Pretty stupid, as a guest I still want to decide for myself. But we'll definitely come back.

Very nice restaurant with very attentive service! We reserved again straight away!

It was our first time in the old school, very cozy restaurant, delicious food, friendly service. Highly recommended, we would love to come back

Great place with a great location. Unfortunately, the service and quality of the food cannot (yet) meet the standards we set ourselves. The service cube on the tables to order a service and the bill is a supposedly contemporary idea, but it doesn't make the service staff more attentive to the little things at the table (empty glasses and plates). We were there between the years and unfortunately the tension and stress of the entire team was noticeable. This is more relaxed. What was great, however, was that there was something to keep the little guests busy. The dishes are lavish, but unfortunately the timing is not right (meat and liver too dry, dishes come one after the other, we even had to ask where a meal was).

We were in Eisenach with the family and had booked dinner at short notice for one evening (22 people). And ????? Everything great ! Always recommended!

We had a delicious meal here on December 25th, 2024 without a reservation of course duck leg dumplings and red cabbage a dessert for dessert Thanks

Great restaurant, very nice ambience, nice and courteous service and super delicious food. All in all a perfect evening. Would be happy to visit Eisenach again.
