High on top of Erfurt’s great citadel stands the GLASHÜTTE Cafe. Our lovely local friends took us through the stately baroque fortress. The GLASHÜTTE was a welcome surprise given most foodservice on historical sites back home are…fair at best. Besides the beautiful panoramic views, this restaurant has an impressive menu that includes traditional German dishes and some more familiar ones like cheeseburgers and pasta marinara. The beer list is excellent with many German favorites, but they also offer a variety of beverages to suit many tastes. The meal started with a selection of tapas that included fresh bread, roasted mushrooms, baba ghanoush, and green olives. Excellent. Anyone who says German food is bland or boring has never had quality German cooking. The bratwurst was juicy and and the sauerkraut was so flavorful. Nobody has mastered the potato like Germans. The servers were friendly and attentive. Spending a pleasant evening with friends was the best part of the meal, but even if you’re dining alone this is a special spot you must try if you’re visiting Erfurt. Du wirst es nicht bereuen!
