We had a reception in the courtyard garden and then a dinner in one of the function rooms on the same level. This was an academic farewell celebration, and all worked very well. The environment is spacy and the garden nice, the room was dignified and again offered a lot of space without being too large. The table had just the right size. The food was well-done and well-thought-out; formal German restaurant fare but certainly on a good to very good level - mushroom soup good, venison very good, and desert excellent. The Neipperg red wine I had with all this was excellent as well, and I appreciate it, as it's still not normal, when German restaurants serve decaf espresso.Waiters and waitresses well-schooled, elegant, and unobtrusive, as they should be.Such dinners are more often failures than successes; this was clearly a success, and most certainly the Zumnorde did all that could be demanded. I therefore strongly recommend this place for larger dinners, and I would certainly try them also for an individual one.

The location of Pier 37 is great, though the name is a little misleading. You would expect a pier to be close to a big river or at the sea. Pier 37 is right next to the little creek that crossed Erfurt. There is a picturesque bride crossing this creek to get into the restaurant, though.The waiters and waitresses are dressed up all in black with red suspenders and cuff titles - quite a sight.The menu is expansive, though lacking vegetarian options. I asked and was given the option of noodles with mushrooms (which were delicious) or a salad.Service was very good, there was only a confusion with our wine. We ordered a bottle from the area, since Erfurt is close to the "Saale Unstrut" wine area. We were give a bottle from the Ahr-region. The waitress said it´s still in the "German region".

We paid 42 euro's in total for 2 persons having had 3 courses and accompanying drinks: that's what we call good value. Dishes were honnest, traditional Thuringer meals of good quality and restaurant was cosy & charmfull. We would certainly recommend this restaurant to any backpacker or anyone else looking for a decent meal at a decent price.

The Restaurant is actually within the Mercure Hotel in the Altstadt (old town) (Trip adviser please note it is no longer the Dorint Hotel!) but has its own external entrance and clearly operates as a stand alone restaurant. Normally Mercure Hotels only offer fairly basic restaurants but this one in Erfurt is certainly an exception and offers quite a varied menu specialising in the local Thuringian cuisine. The menu includes an excellent selection of regional dishes along with a set menu and A la Carte. My wife enjoyed a delicious Calves Liver with sauteed onions and mashed potatoes and I had a regional Beef Roulade with a tasty stuffing accompanied with two Thuringian dumplings which were also excellent. The wine list is the pretty standard Mercure offering in Germany but it has lots of interesting German and foreign wines available by the glass (various sizes on offer) so it is easy for every guest to choose their own preferences. The waiter who served us seemed knowlegable and friendly and recommended some reasonably priced wines that he felt would best accompany the dishes. Many of the a la carte dishes had their own individual wine recommendations. We shared an excellent pear and walnut strudel for dessert served with caramel ice cream and a compote of berries. We also had our five year old grandson with us and he greatly enjoyed his (three!) Bratwurst that came with lots of fresh vegetables and potatoes and the excellent ice cream that followed. (Much above the usual mediocre and tedious childrens menus that appear in most restaurants!) All in all an excellent reasonably priced meal with nice friendly service.
