Chef's Restaurant
Changes at Estima by Catalana: Chef Sebastian Ernst has left the house. However, the essence of the house remains unchanged: the southern French-Catalan cuisine and an inviting atmosphere. In the middle of the idyllic alleys of Erfurt's old town, the restaurant has been convincing for over 10 years with a clear concept and fresh accents. Host Jan-Hendrik Feldner continues to passionately ensure warm care and talks about the cuisine and culture of the southern Mediterranean. The menus offer two refined menus on each of the four opening days, which combine Spanish and French flavors. Chef Jürgen Birth combines classic culinary art with modern accents, which is also reflected in the patisserie. One of the highlights is without a doubt the variety of dishes that surprise the taste buds. For example, the refreshing creveten tartare, which is a delight with a delicate texture and slight acidity. The eagle fish with crispy fried scales combines tender meat and crispy texture, while the pork of the Presa Bellota delights with Santa Pau beans and strong jus. The conclusion is a deconstructed Crema Catalana – harmonious and surprising. A refreshing lemon sorbet sets a lively, fresh accent. Patron Feldner offers a small, fine selection of wines from which guests can choose their favourite. The culinary experiences are still of high quality – further surprises and refinements are to be expected.
