Eine sehr winzige Gaststätte, aber mit einem sehr urigen Ambiente. Es war wirklich sehr schön, genau unser Geschmack. Das Essen war sehr lecker, auf jeden Fall eins der besten Würzfleischs die ich gegessen habe. Auf jeden Fall probieren!

Das älteste Restaurant in Altenburg. Gute Hausmannskost und engagiertes Betreiber-Ehepaar. In einer Seitenstraße vom Markt gelegen, gibt es hier Thüringer Küche und Altenburger Bier. Die Einrichtung ist noch Original und einen Blick wert. Die Kombi macht das kleine Restaurant sehr charmant.

Sehr nettes kleines Gasthaus, auch für den kleinen Geldbeutel. Haben bei gutem Essen in familiärer Atmosphäre einen schönen Abend verbracht. Gerne wieder- sehr empfehlenswert, am besten mit Vorbestellung, da die Platzanzahl sehr begrenzt ist.
