Let me start by saying the food was great, really great and yummy, and cheap (by London standards at least!). The atmosphere was cool and relaxing.Now for the bad stuff that unfortunately made me really dislike the place :(1) WaterWhen ordering drinks, I ordered water and was given fizzy water (I wanted still water - ok, I should have specified, but they should have also asked me themselves if unsure). When I then asked for still water they brought me water that tasted like fizzy water that has been left out so all the bubbles would disappear but the weird taste was still there. I said this isn't still water and the waitress looked very confused, so I gave up and just asked for tap water (unusual in Germany) but they said they would charge me for their "still" water as it was the second time I refused what they brought. 2) FantaOne of my friends ordered a fanta and also commented that it looked and tasted as if it had been diluted with water. 3) Lemon juiceWe had been having lemon juice (heisse zitron) in restaurants for several days prior to going to Spundloch. It's basically fresh lemon juice with hot water, and is common in Germany. I ordered this but the lemon juice they brought was not fresh but very much made from concentrate (thus tasting really bad). Ok, I guess my bad but after being used to getting it fresh everywhere it was a bit of an unexpected surprise.4) TeaLastly, I drink green tea. They didn't have green tea, only peppermint which I dislike. So I asked them to just bring me hot water. They brough me a cup of hot water but said "mind you, we will charge you for this, we're not a charity" which I found quite rude and insulting :( (my German friends translated it as "we're not the Salvation Army" but the point is the same).If I had been know German to a fluent level (unfortunately I'm not quite there yet), I would have argued about being charged for one of the waters but oh well. I would say go there, definitely, but be very very specific about what you order drink-wise (and I mean VERY specific). Unfortunately for me, the epic fail with the drinks made me quite upset and it is the only reason I am giving this 2 stars instead of the 5 their food deserves.

We had a lunch by chance here, because the restaurant we selected was closed. Wow what a pleasant surprise! We eat two hot soups, a tipical goulash dish and a pork and potato dish. Everything with half liter beer each, trying to respect ancient German habits :). The check was 28â¬, 14 each... In Dresden I paid the double to get half of it!Very good! If you go to Gorlitz don't miss it!

We ate here on our 1st night in Görlitz when other places were full. Their loss was our gain, so much so that we returned the following evening. The Zum Nachtschmied is a very nice, very traditional pub/restaurant with good, traditional local food and beer. There is, though, a short wine list for those who prefer. The menu is dominated by pork - they even have a section entitled "For those who don't want pork" - but none the worse for that and the service similarly good. The one warning is that they don't take credit cards, but there are banks with ATMs on/near the Obermarkt. Thoroughly recommended.

This is the restaurant of the Hotel Tuchmacher, and it was an absolute delight to dine there. We could only cope with a main course each, but enjoyed every mouthful, whilst the appetisers were delicious, as were the chocolates presented at the conclusion of the meal. Staff were superlative. The evening was one to remember.

We were determined to try the Schlesisches Himmelreich (google it!) before leaving Görlitz and our Rick Steves guidebook recommended the Destille. We were not disappointed so perhaps this really is the best one in town?Beef carpaccio to start was excellent, the pasta dish my wife had was good. Goosberry liquer afterwards delicious.We arrived at 19:30 and were lucky to get a table, so reservations are recommended - although it was half empty when we left. The young guy servings us was professional but not especially friendly - should try smiling once in a while.If you found this review helpful, I would appreciate your vote.

This is a wonderful place that I keep coming back to year after year. The peace, warmth and beautiful surroundings make for a perfect getaway. The Obermühle in-house brewery (situated directly above the aesthetic bar) produces an excellent beer, which, when served by local waiters, will give you the sensation on culture.Great food! The kitchen uses mainly local vegetables and meat; I had a talk to the chef-cook and he told me, that they visit many of the producers of these ingredients. After a satisfying meal from the Obermühle, you should rent a boat and sail into the forrest and enjoy the peace.The rooms are surprisingly neat, compared to what you often meet outside bigger cities. I enjoyed a room with a view to the lake, where the sound of rushing water was lulling me into rest.I fully recommend the Obermühle for eating, drinking and sleeping for anyone!

We sat outside at the tables in the middle of the "square" between the two streets (much nicer than it sounds). My German wife said her schnitzel was excellent, my roast pork was just good. The beer was nice, the service very friendly. Prices reasonable. Solid German fare and recommended if you are looking for a casual meal.If you found this review helpful, I would appreciate your vote.

An upscale and old-world place right off of the Untermarkt. It was popular with the cast of The Grand Budapest Hotel who stayed in the nearby Hotel Boerse:We had a delicious regional dish called Schlesisches Himmelreich (Kingdom of Heaven), which is a creamy stew of Pork Belly and dried Plums and Apricots.
