Still the best kebab in Chemnitz in terms of taste.
The ambience is simply kept and you can imagine the few drunks and other characters around. On the negative side, I have to say that the friendliness has decreased dramatically. But prices are justified for the good taste
We had a very good meal again with the family in the “Zur Weintraube” restaurant. Ms. and Mr. Sickert are very nice innkeepers.
Everyone enjoyed it very much, the portions were generous and very tasty at a more than fair price. It's no wonder that the restaurant is busy and you should book a table in advance.
Thank you Sickert family and we will definitely be back!
Excellent food and super friendly service. Maybe you should add the kitchen times online, but that's just very kind advice. It was fantastic with you, thank you for getting us a table.
I visited this restaurant with my brother for dinner. First of all, when we arrived, the staff were standing around debating who would come over to assist us, and no one seemed eager to help. The tables were fully booked, but they offered us seats at the bar, assuring us we could still have dinner there. We sat at the bar and waited for 15 minutes, yet not a single member of staff came over. Even the people working behind the bar didn’t make eye contact with us during that time. Eventually, we decided to leave.
The service was absolutely awful. I understand that Germany isn’t particularly known for great service, but this was beyond disappointing. I won’t be coming back and would suggest others to consider different options.
Very nice restaurant and delicious home-style cuisine. In the picture Görlitz mushroom meat. A blast combined with a cool light. So Juten Hunger from Berlin
Always very happy! No matter whether as a couple or as a group. Good home cooking. Fair prices for food and drink as well as friendly “host” people... 👌
We went there for dinner with a few friends on a recommendation. What a disappointment. A lot of poetry on the menu. Little quality on the table. We started with prawns on a wild mushroom and rosemary salad and soup. The prawns were cooked correctly but had zero flavor. As was the salad. In a blind tasting, no flavor would have been detected. Rosemary? None. Other spices? Unnoticeable. And then this "Lobster Foam Soup with Pernod"! Served in a small bowl, a floury mess with a very barely perceptible lobster flavor. And far too salty. Foam?? None of that. Not even the slightest attempt to somehow enhance the basic soup. A slap, a ladleful in the cup, and that's it. Pernod... you guessed it, was probably forgotten.
Unfortunately, the beef fillet was almost cooked, even though it was ordered medium. It was supposed to come with "melted Fourme d'Ambert, goose liver on potato and porcini mushroom mash, cognac jus, and glazed Brussels sprouts"! Slapping a slice of blue cheese on top of the meat isn't exactly a fine culinary art. And then, to top it off, a completely overcooked goose liver (hard and bone-dry) looked more like duck liver. The mash the fillet was placed on turned out to be a very thin purée that melted, and porcini mushrooms were neither visible nor tasted. Cognac jus... neither jus nor cognac. There was some kind of indefinable sauce to go with it, but it wasn't a jus. The result: after a few minutes, the cheese, purée, and sauce were a complete mess. Here, however, there was a thick sprig of rosemary.
The "crispy sea bass with a sauce WITH LOTS OF BUTTER, tarragon, and even more flavor on ravioli with vitello salvia and lardo Brussels sprouts" was fried properly. It seemed to be frozen, though. And what is a sauce with lots of butter? Are we talking about a thickened fish stock or a hollandaise or...? Here, too, the promised tarragon was nowhere to be found. The ravioli were certainly not homemade and some of them were hard. Not to be confused with "al dente" (I know, that immediately springs to mind), no, the dough was hard. From the freezer to the pan, that doesn't work. And the lardo Brussels sprouts were many things, but not lardo. They were the same Brussels sprout halves as the fillet... no difference!
Service: There's a lot of room for improvement. A second drink, refilling the wine, setting the cutlery correctly, and putting bread and butter on the table—all of it seems extremely difficult. "The new dining class" – well, a bold comparison. Was Mercedes the inspiration? There was no "amuse gueulle," no other drink recommendations, oh no; anything to encourage customers to come back, nonexistent. The table layout in the restaurant is generally questionable. On one side, you can see the open kitchen door with the dishwasher the whole time. The door was open the entire evening, as long as the service was easy. Then there are more than one "cat table" in the restaurant. The best is in the hallway to the restroom. Behind the cloakroom. Another is right below the counter. There, you can enjoy your meal with pleasure.
Other tables are so close together that the staff practically have to squeeze sideways into the gaps to serve. This creates the appetizing effect of their buttocks hanging over the next table. Who comes up with something like that?
Conclusion: unfortunately, more show than substance. The prices have to be justified somehow. So you write verbose menus, and the kitchen has to somehow deliver. Speaking of delivering: the whole evening, we had the feeling that the kitchen was cooking to its own rhythm. The waiter is supposed to set the pace, but as soon as one course was served, the next one appeared. As a result, the temperature of the dishes suffered, and perhaps that's why the fillet had plenty of time to continue cooking under the heat.
The food is incredibly good. You should reserve a table. The dining room is not so big that you can get a table on the weekend if you want to go out for a spontaneous meal. Word has spread about the quality of the food.
There are no vegetarian dishes here, but meat lovers will get their money's worth.
Mr. Weise is a great and entertaining host. Always friendly and in a good mood.
5 ⭐️ the monastery hermitage deserves more.
The food was excellent and incredibly tasty! We had 3 pizzas that were large, very nice to look at and incredibly tasty! The service was very accommodating. We would love to come back 😊
A very cool canteen with very, very nice employees. Food was very good but the schnitzel was a bit dry. But I'll definitely come back to try other delicious things...
It was a surprising visit to the restaurant, with a friendly welcome and good service. The food portions were plentiful and very 😋 tasty. I can only recommend it and look forward to a next visit.
