Sorbisches Restaurant Wjelbik Bautzen in Bautzen

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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!!

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.

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

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!

Tasty food, clean place. Very polite.

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

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

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

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

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.

A high-quality restaurant with professional service. The menu includes Sorbian cuisine. An interesting item is the mustard soup. Each dish includes mustard typical of the region. The prices are, of course, quite high, but the room was full from the moment the place opened. You can pay by credit card.

Schon lange nicht mehr so eine ambitionierte und freundliche Gastgeberin und Inhaberin erlebt . Wir waren gleich 2 Abende hintereinander zu Gast bei Monika und ihrem Team . Das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis ist absolut top , Speisen frisch zubereitet und von toller Qualität, ebenso die Weinauswahl. Dieses Restaurant ist ein Muss wenn man in Bautzen zu Gast ist. Macht weiter so !!!

We had reservations and sat in the outdoor area across the street. As we found out, these were the former meat banks...interesting. The food was very tasty and even though it was brought across the street, still hot. The service staff was quick, attentive and friendly, and they noticed the good structure in the house. A big compliment to the kitchen for the fantastic mustard soup.

I would also like to write a few words about this visit to the restaurant. It was a visit you could wish for. The employees are super nice, attentive, always with a smile on their faces and thus provide a harmonious, feel-good stay. The food was very tasty and prepared with love and the atmosphere was cozy. My vegetarian plate was excellent and well thought out, thank you Gladly again

Very tasty food. We'd love to come back

Top address in Bautzen and the surrounding area.

We were invited here for dinner and were very happy with everything about it. 👍🏻💯😊 The prices are a little higher, but they are still completely justified given this delicious food. At the end we were given the dessert menu which we couldn't resist. It was a successful evening! We would like to come again. 😃

Excellent! Elegant but cozy, authentic, tasty and friendly.

Went here for the first time on vacation 4 years ago and loved it. Today the path finally led us here again and it is still as good as it was back then. Very friendly, authentic, online reservation possible and above all delicious! We were very happy to finally be able to dine in your restaurant again.

Impressively beautiful restaurant! The most beautiful cordon bleu I've eaten in a long time! Very friendly and attentive staff. You can stop there without hesitation😎

Excellent food. Friendly, very well-kept service

Wir waren sehr gespannt auf die sorbische Küche, mit der das Restaurant ja explizit wirbt. Fazit vorweg, die Qualität war gut, aber es fehlte der Pfiff und das Besondere. Ich hatte die Fünf Lausitzer Köstlichkeiten: "Frühling in Bautzen" Forellenmuspraline, geräucherte Entenbrust, hausgemachte Fleischsülze, gebackener Ziegenkäse und hausgemachte Hähnchenbratwurst auf Blattsalaten. Es hat sich mir nicht erschlossen, was daran und bei der Zubereitung besonders sorbisch war.Es schmeckte ganz normal wie in jeder anderen normalen Gaststätte. Auch der sächsiche Sauerbraten hat sich nur durch die Beilage böhmische Knödel von jedem normalen Sauerbraten unterschieden. Das Servicepersonal war sehr freundlich und flink. Wenn man wählen kann, auf jeden Fall auch einen Tisch auf der Terasse nehme, man sitzt sehr schön dort. Also zusammenfasend nichts Besonderes, aber auch keine schlechte Küche.

We wanted to end our visit to Bautzen with a visit to a restaurant. My eye quickly fell on Wjelbik, as Sorbian cuisine is not represented here at all. The menu already promised delicacies. All of the dishes met our expectations, but the Bautzen mustard soup and the ox cheeks are particularly noteworthy. The service was quick and unobtrusive, as it should be. We had an enjoyable evening and can recommend it.

Been there several times and enjoyed the delicious food!

Very friendly and warm, see you next time in Bautzen 😊

Nice ambience, authentic and very tasty food. Gluten free was also possible.

We were absolutely thrilled! The atmosphere is really nice, the staff is very warm and the food is pure enjoyment. I particularly enjoyed the vegan spring fricasses! The Wjelbik was our highlight in Bautzen. In principle, from our experience, a reservation would be worthwhile.

Outstanding food, great value for money, nice atmosphere, definitely a must if you visit Bautzen

Friendly and attentive hosts. Very tasty food.

It was a very beautiful evening The food and especially the service are highly recommended. We will be happy to come back

Fast service, delicious and freshly prepared food

A lucky hit on a day trip to Bautzen! I discovered the restaurant online the evening before and luckily reserved a table online because it was full at lunchtime. Our three dishes and also the desserts were all of the best quality and very tasty. The service was friendly and unobtrusive. If we're in the area again, we'll definitely come back. Absolute recommendation!

The visit had been on the agenda for a long time and I was looking forward to it. Expectations were also high due to the numerous positive reviews. From the outside the restaurant looks rather inconspicuous; I wouldn't have noticed it as a restaurant as such. The interior looks much more interesting, many Sorbian themes have been taken up and implemented decoratively throughout the guest room. I found it a bit strange that the service staff unfortunately didn't understand a word of Sorbian and responded with silence to everything that was said. The dishes were okay, the asparagus was generally quite oily and the steak was relatively tasteless despite the other components, it was generally inharmonious and poorly seasoned. In my opinion, the price for the taste and the portion sizes, especially for the steak, is not justified and is worth reconsidering.

From the ambience, to the menu, to the staff and the food, everything is just right. There really wasn't a point that didn't fit. The price-performance ratio simply cannot be beat for the quality. A very good example that can also be delivered at affordable prices and of high quality. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Nice restaurant, very nice and attentive service, great food. We were completely satisfied and would be happy to recommend you.

Very nice lunch there, great service, very tasty food.

Very nice restaurant with super delicious food. I was full, but there had to be dessert. The crème brulee was super tasty. We recommend

Probably one of the best restaurants I've been to so far. The food was really upscale and I've never experienced better service. The prices are really not too high for this experience. Great class!

Very tasty, everything fresh and prepared with passion, huge portions.
