It's cosy in the small, bright, sympathetic and informal Erfurt Old Town restaurant with a counter with French cheese and sausage, where Christin Ballenberger presents unpretentious fresh cuisine at lunchtime and in the evening. 3-5 courses in the evening, either vegetarian or omnivorous, combine good ingredients with Asian-inspired spice notes (beetroot soup with coconut and wasabi, prawns with coconut foam sauce or duck breast with plum and shiitake mushrooms). Classics of vegetarian cuisine such as celery with porcini mushroom are available as well as an inexpensive lunch menu - and if you like, you can show up for breakfast and eat your way through the day in a relaxed way.
