Sorbisches Restaurant Wjelbik Bautzen in Bautzen

We recently visited the Sorbian restaurant Wjelbik in Bautzen and were overall very satisfied. The historic ambiance of the approximately 600-year-old natural stone vault creates a cozy atmosphere. Our chosen dishes, the cordon bleu and the rump steak, were excellently prepared and flavorful—solid as always. However, we were disappointed that our mention of a birthday went unnoticed when making our online reservation. If the reason for the reservation is asked, we expect it to be taken into account. Otherwise, this question could be omitted. Such details add to the personal touch and appreciation. Despite this minor shortcoming, we can recommend the Wjelbik for its excellent cuisine and unique ambiance.

Absolutely delicious, we ate all 7, including dessert. A must if you want to eat well. It's worth the detour. Great.....👍

Very tasty dishes, super friendly service

Super delicious food, very friendly service, and no long waits. I can only recommend it.

Best restaurant in Bautzen. Incredibly good!

We had a wonderful evening with 17 people. The food was fantastic and the service great. Absolutely recommended!

Everything was great, from the service to the food, big praise :-)

Would have liked to have given more stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️ We were very impressed and pleased by the ambience, the Sorbian costume of the boss, the attentiveness of the service (everyone) was fantastic and not to mention the high quality of the food 5 stars + it was a taste that we missed for a long time and in Bautzen it was heaven on earth, thank you very much for that and continued success and joy

Our first visit to Bautzen and we were warmly welcomed here without a reservation. I really enjoyed the Sorbian dishes and ordered the wedding menu with starter, main course and dessert. All dishes were fresh and beautifully prepared. If we come to this area again, we would be happy to stop again. I can highly recommend the restaurant. 👍👍👍

Professional, friendly, excellent food and drinks!

Excellent regional Sorbian cuisine served in a modern way! Service courteous, careful and well trained. Worth a recommendation.

I've been to this restaurant twice recently and completely satisfied both times.

Always excellent! Also very sensible children's meals which also taste good.

A unique place with tasty dishes. Extraordinary atmosphere. I recommend the salmon and beef. Until next time!

A bit inconspicuous from the outside, very nice inside. The food is awesome. Super good cuisine and excellent service. Real recommendation!!!

Super tasty and local cuisine. Very good service!

very friendly service, nice atmosphere, great food... we'll be happy to come back.

I could even give it 6 stars here. The service is really very friendly and reliable. Put in a lot of effort. The food is really delicious, fresh and prepared with great attention to detail. Keep it up. We'll be back soon. Price-performance okay.

We had a fantastic evening with incredibly delicious food and outstanding service!! We'll definitely be back - and thank you again!!

Today we had dinner with 15 people in the Sorbian Restaurant. The food was excellent, the service was extremely friendly and very attentive. The restaurant is highly recommended.

The very best, most friendly, attentive service, great, honest atmosphere and, above all, great food with the best price-performance ratio

Thank you for the friendly hospitality. The menu you put together was excellent. Our team was very enthusiastic and we would be happy to recommend you.

Excellent food with excellent service in a pleasant atmosphere.

Great local cuisine. Notice the stained glass window displaying local folk tales. Original dessert: "Mohnmousse". Try it!

The food was very delicious and the portions were a good size. Traditional cuisine with that little something extra. The service was very friendly and not intrusive. The atmosphere is very cozy. You can spend some time here. Because this restaurant is so good, a table reservation is essential.

Very friendly staff, great food and cozy atmosphere.

Very tasty food. Something more upscale and modern. Totally classy.

Very friendly service. Was great fun. The kitchen is very good. Thank you again for joining us in the Christmas hustle and bustle

We were guests at the Christmas party in Wjelbik on December 13th, 2024. The ambience, the service and the excellent food left nothing to be desired (even for spoiled palates). Highly recommended without reservation. Thank you for the excellent hospitality. If you are looking for something special and authentic, I recommend Wjelbik. Nothing for every day, just something to look forward to, being able to visit Wjelbik as a guest and enjoy life with all your senses.

Certainly one of the best restaurants in Bautzen. The food and atmosphere is fantastic. A little insight into Sorbian hospitality and culture. The prices are completely justified for the food, everything is harmoniously selected. Early booking is necessary as it is always busy.

It was our first visit to "Wjelbik". Despite the late hour, we were greeted very hospitably and attentively. The ambience is cozy and exquisite. And the food tastes really good and everything is prepared with love and detail. We were pleasantly impressed by how thoughtful and service-oriented the guest service was. Did I mention that such a perfect experience makes you happy? Then I'll do it now and we'll definitely be happy to be guests again.

We discovered it by accident and we are delighted. Everything was great. Thanks for a wonderful lunch

That only gives full points, it was the first time there, absolutely world class for me, thanks for the great evening Peter from Allgäu

We had a Christmas party there. It was very nice. Thanks to the team.

Eating at Wjelbik is always something special. The consistently high quality of the food, excellent kitchen staff and professional service speak for themselves. The dishes are seasonal, fresh, attractive and lovingly prepared and taste perfect. I'm always amazed that the desserts always top everything!

Very tasty food with great service.

A great restaurant, everything was very tasty and a very good and attentive service

Super! Reservation absolutely necessary!

Very tasty food, nice ambience and very good, friendly service.

The food was very good and plentiful.

Very tasty food and attentive and friendly service, would be happy to come again

We made a reservation at Wjelbik for my friend's birthday because we had only heard good things. Unfortunately our expectations were not met at all. It started with being able to specify an “occasion” and “other requests” when reserving a table online. So we noted that it was a birthday and we would like to have a quiet table, a little away. When we arrived at Wjelbik, we were assigned a table in the middle, surrounded by other tables. There was no birthday wish or possible decorations on the table - why can you choose an occasion if it is not taken into account? The staff was very friendly but not very attentive. After the meal we weren't even asked how the food was or whether we would like to order anything else. Instead, it was simply cleared away… without comment. The food was good but nothing special. It's a real shame, a special evening was marred by inadequate service. Would we recommend the Wjelbik? Tends to be not...

Thank you for this wonderful evening! Yesterday we came to Bautzen for the St. Martin's goose menu and we were really looking forward to it. What will we be surprised with this time? Everything was right again! From the friendly welcome and service to the very good wine recommendations and the promising menu. It was fun right from the start and the magicians in the kitchen surprised us with every course. We look forward to our next visit and wish the entire team all the best until then!

Went to Wjelbik for St. Martin's goose dinner (5 course menu) and have never eaten as deliciously as I did there. A big thank you to the staff for the excellent service. All highly recommended.

The food was quite good as was the service.

This restaurant is very special. Starting with the ambience, the warmth of the service and the really excellent food. If you are in Bautzen, I can highly recommend everyone to eat here. We have been coming here for 4 years and the quality is consistently at a very high level. If you want to eat authentic, delicious food, this is the place for you.

As always, it was very tasty. Everything just fits. Thanks so much

Rarely eaten so well. The Sorbian/German cuisine in perfection. The service was convincing due to its friendliness. Regardless of whether it was a starter, main course or dessert, everything shone with perfection and enjoyment. I would like the recipe for the duck dumplings.

If you come to Bautzen you have to eat here. Super nice welcome, great food and service. Any time. Thank you My husband said they were the best potato dumplings ever.

Wir wollten am ersten Abend in Bautzen gern Sorbisch Essen. Die Wahl fiel auf dieses Restaurant. Eine gute Wahl. Freundliche Bedienung, leckeres Essen zu angemessenen Preisen. Lokale Essens- und Getränkespezialitäten. Gerne wieder.

A place of humanity. Honest, really good cuisine, authentic service and a pleasant atmosphere.

Really friendly stuff, they give for our child a coloring paper and pencils. The food was as good as the service. Everything was delicious. I higly recommand the place.

Holiday in Upper Lusatia. Bicycle tour around Bautzen. Got a table at Wjelbik at short notice. Very appealing atmosphere. We were appropriately dressed for a bike tour, but that was never noted negatively. Very friendly, polite, interested service. We had mustard soup and chanterelle cappuchino, false fillet and carp fillet. Everything was very tasteful, nicely presented. Delicious beer with it (Sorbian or Budweiser on tap). We can recommend the restaurant without reservation. The price is also completely reasonable. The only thing is: you're already sitting close to the other guests - but what do you want to do when the space is limited and the guests are streaming in. The alternative would be to reduce tables and increase prices. Fewer people would then be able to enjoy the friendly attention of the guests. You don't want that. Dźakuju like that! Božemje! And to those who allow themselves to be tempted to dine there I say: Dajće sej słodźeć!

Very good food and quick service. There is nothing to criticize there. Super

Very nice restaurant. Great service, super delicious food.

Obwohl wir schon seit über 12 Monate in Bautzen wohnen, waren wir erst gestern erstmals Gast im WJELBIK. Meine Frau und ich waren total begeistert vom Ambiente und von der freundlichen Bewirtung. Besonders hervorheben möchte ich die tollen Speisen, die wir haben genießen dürfen. Hier möchte ich nochmals der Küche meinen besonderen Dank ausrichten. Ich bedauere sehr, dass wir erst mit Verspätung DEN Weg zum WJELBIK gefunden haben. Für mich steht, dass wir zukünftig öfters Gäste des WJELBIK sein werden.

Super delicious food. Service very nice and attentive. You should definitely make a reservation, at least on weekends it seems to be full. When we're in the area again, we'll stop by. 😀

Very friendly and competent staff. Gladly again!

Great restaurant - highly recommended - the food is very, very tasty - the service is really good - very friendly and accommodating - gladly again!

Highly recommended restaurant that combines Sorbian traditions with contemporary style. Service is very important here! Very friendly and competent waiter. The portions are large, so you don't have to worry about not being full. Otherwise there is a recommended Creme Brulee for dessert.

Nice, rustic restaurant, the staff, at least the women, are in traditional Sorbian costume. Food was very good. The only drawback are the toilets, small and cramped and there aren't enough coaches there.

Our path spontaneously led us to this restaurant. The atmosphere is harmonious, the staff is very friendly and the food is simply delicious. Any time!

Good food, friendly staff, you have to take some time as everything is freshly prepared.

Great restaurant! Very good food and service

Super good food and super nice people. We had a great, authentic dinner. Many thanks to the hostess for the hospitality even without a reservation.

We'll eat here again soon. Everything was wonderful and very tasty

We were warmly greeted at the entrance and shown to our reserved seats. All employees were very attentive and friendly during our stay. We had the autumn menu and the Sorbian menu. The meals were excellent. We really enjoyed the starters (wedding soup, chanterelle cappuccino), the main courses (pumpkin-crusted chicken, ox in horseradish sauce) and the desserts (poppy seed mousse, elderberry cold dish). If we lived near Bautzen, we would definitely visit Wjelbik regularly.

Simply outstanding! It was very tasty and a very pleasant atmosphere, the service was great! Very happy again. Calling and making a reservation is important

The restaurant was recommended to us, we reserved in advance and stated the occasion as an anniversary, it was our wedding anniversary. We were welcomed and shown to a small table at the entrance to the kitchen and the bar. It was very gloomy to notice, every walk back and forth, staff that came, everyone basically stopped at our table and talked. The food was very good, something special, but the atmosphere wasn't really. They cleared up after the meal, we were given a dessert menu, but otherwise they didn't take care of us. We actually wanted to spend a nice evening there, but we just ate and left, didn't really feel comfortable, as if they didn't need to take care of all the guests, but it wasn't full. It's a shame, a very nice traditional restaurant with delicious food, but it left a bit of a bitter taste in our mouths.

Every visit is a pampering program. We love the food freshly prepared with regional ingredients, the very good service, the historical vault combined with modern aspects and the family atmosphere.

We were there for dinner with a large group. At the entrance we were warmly welcomed by the boss with bread and salt. The wedding soup and the main courses were very tasty, the service was quick and very friendly. We had a lovely evening, definitely recommended!!

star level. From the service to the food, it's simply top. We always enjoy going there.

Nice atmosphere, good service, food is solid

A very nice restaurant. The food was extremely good. Despite a full house, the waitresses were very professional (for example, they made sure that the logo on the beer glass was facing the guest and always asked if they needed anything or if everything was OK) and calm. There was no rush. Extremely great time management and short waiting times. This restaurant is 110% worth visiting. Fair prices for excellent food, nice ambience, professional staff. If you could give an extra star, I would!

Wjelbik - small vault Wonderfully authentic and super tasty restaurant. Nice selection of selected dishes, not an overcrowded menu, but fresh, imaginative and incredibly tasty dishes. Keep it up! I'll definitely be happy to come back!!

8 girls spontaneously came here for dinner. Very friendly staff and really great food.

No big words except: Always happy. Hospitality is lived here.

Really nice atmosphere, the staff wear traditional Sorbian costumes and the restaurant is in a kind of vault with a beautiful stained glass window. The staff is friendly and quick even though it was very busy. The food was very good.

The food here is always absolutely fantastic! One of my absolute favorite restaurants!

Very good Sorbian food, very popular restaurant, the service was very good However, you should book tables in advance. Recommended.

Tasty food, clean place. Very polite.

was great, very good food, nice service. absolute recommendation

Top address, very good food, nice staff and a traditional, rustic atmosphere

Everything was perfect: delicious food, prepared with local products, top staff and a lovely atmosphere. First choice for eating in Bautzen.

A wonderful experience, everything perfect, every typical Sorbian dish made with care and taste, impeccable service and also at attractive prices. Compliments

A great restaurant, with very good food and nice staff. The portions were just the right size. Definitely again!

In the middle of the week the restaurant was very busy, we were assigned the table - in the passage and full of crumbs - but fine. The service is incredibly friendly and attentive. The food was delicious, the desserts were exceptional and highly recommended! Unfortunately, smeared edges on the plates are not so great - even in the most hectic conditions, the prices simply have to allow for that!

A very good restaurant. From the starter to the dessert everything was perfect. Nice, polite and professional staff. Highly recommended if you want to have a good meal. We'd love to come back.

Definitely try it! The food is incredibly tasty and the service is very attentive. We ate the beef roulade and the beef steak and were so impressed by the good quality of the food. And we were able to learn something about Sorbian culture.

Simply delicious! Seasonal and good.

We sat on the terrace opposite. Wonderful! The food was simply delicious, well prepared and fair prices. The staff was very nice and accommodating. We'll be back!

It was a very good restaurant. The food was extremely good. I recommend the ox cheeks. The ambience is also very nice. Definitely worth a visit.

Absolute must in Bautzen. Very good service, really rare to find in Germany! Food and dessert 1A. Greetings from Chicago, Danzig and Bunzlau. The waitress will know..... 😉

Just a dream. Great food. Top service in a fantastic ambience. More than just an insider tip.

Mega tastier food, great service, nice ambience. Gladly again

We Wessis - if you can still put it like that - were there at the end of May on a recommendation. What can I say, perfect. My Sorbian wedding meal was amazing. Here we say plated meat with horseradish sauce. I never got anything that good in Vienna. The highlight was that the friendly service person asked me if I wanted more horseradish sauce. She could read minds. Another really nice mug came with a really tasty sauce. Just a dream. The other dishes were also really good. best restaurant in the surrounding area. Be sure to reserve... It's just a shame that there isn't anything this good in Munich and the surrounding area. Thanks again. R.K. from Holzkirchen

In my opinion the best restaurant in Bautzen and the surrounding area. Always friendly service, very tasty food. We particularly recommend the roulade, in winter the duck/goose dishes and the desserts. The mustard soup is also a poem. We'd love to come back.

Although we reserved a table in the restaurant, we were able to spontaneously sit outside on the "terrace" when the weather was nice. Friendly service, very tasty food. Gladly again!

Everything is just right here. The food selection and quality are great 👍. The service was simply brilliant, nice, friendly, always had a smile and also took the time to answer a few questions for us. Visiting here was an experience, it was our first time here but definitely not our last. Another big compliment, a ramp was easily installed for the step at the entrance so that the wheelchair could also get in. This is customer service, here you can feel comfortable and enjoy yourself. We can certainly recommend this restaurant.

Very good cuisine. Good service. A very special place. Recommended.
