This was one of the more atmospheric german pub/restaurants that we found on our tour of Germany. The food was excellent. I think my brother did best with the duck (ente). They had great potato dumplings and spatzle (traditional noodles). The restaurant was quite busy, and we could have stood to have a reservation, but they were nice and squeezed us in.
8. Kutscherstube
No cozier place is to be found: Please take your seat at polished tables in two cozy country-style pub rooms. The âHorse-Driven Coachâ pub offers you hefty and hearty Thuringia cooking with traditional dishes. Even if you choose game meat from the Thuring

This is a review for the Kutscherstube, one of two restaurants in the Romantik Hotel Sächsischer Hof (the other restaurant is the Posthalterei).The Kutscherstube is a restaurant serving regional thüringen dishes, at a higher level of execution than in most restaurants in the area but at reasonable prices. The main dishes in particular are attractive. We had good soups (6-8 Euro) and two main dishes: pork filet (Schweinefilet, 14.5 Euro) with Spätzle, and pork belly (Schweinebauch, 13.5 Euro) with potato dumpling (Thüringer Klöse) and sauerkraut in cream. The filet dish was excellent, the meat very tender and the Spätzle were some of the best I´ve had. The belly meat was not of the same quality, partially hard and dry, but also not bad, and the Sahnesauerkraut and Türinger Klöse were absolutely fantastic.There is a selection of two tap beers: Köstrizer (a very good black beer) and Meininger, the local brand, which turned out to be an excellent light Pils.The desserts were too expensive and not attractive enough for us to try. Service was quick.Recommended for a taste of the local kitchen at a high level but without overly high prices.

6. Sachsischer Hof
Reviewed By DonPaulo
Four of us ate lunch at the Restaurant of the Hotel Sachsischer Hof on a Saturday. We made reservations, but found that they were not needed, despite the praiseworthy recommendations we had heard. The restaurant has many dining rooms from formal, to Gasthaus, to beer garden, to café. This was our main meal of the day, so we chose the more upscale. Each of us ordered a different dish from the ample menu. The wine list was several pages long and featured open wines and bottles. All were from vineyards of high repute and we found the several we tasted to be of the expected quality and reasonably priced. The amuse-bouche was one of the nicest we have had.As is our custom, we exchanged tastes of the main courses. All were first rate. Service was prompt, cordial and attentive. A dropped napkin and later a dropped spoon were replaced in a flash. Portion sizes were reasonable, side dishes, no matter how simple of complex were all tasty.For our dessert, we wandered into the café to make our selections and then returned to our table. Despite the surprisingly small number of patrons, the selection consisted of over 15 choices. Again, we chose different items and shared tastes. Our combined opinion was that everything ranged from very good to outstanding. Still, the meal came to less than 30 Euro per person, inclusive of wine, water, food, dessert, coffee and tip.

Wir waren mit Freunden am Sonntag zum Essen hier. Die Gaststätte war sehr voll, nur gut das wir vorbestellt hatten. Das empfehle ich für jeden der am Sonntag hier Essen will. Aber nun zum Essen - einfach sagenhaft. Der Salat, der Hauptgang bis zur Nachspeise sehr gut. Die Portionen sind gut bemessen - man wird ausreichend satt. Der Wirt immer mit einem kleinen Spruch, da macht der Aufenthalt einfach nur SpaÃ.

The Former coach house in Meiningen is a huge building which now houses a hotel, a confectioner's and two restaurants - the Kutscherstube and the Posthalterei. We dined in the latter and it was one of the best ever dining experiences I've had. The setting was both luxurious and refined, staff were friendly and helpful and the food - it would take pages to do justice to it. There was no à la carte as such. Instead there were two menus, each with a seven-course dinner and each with two options per course. One could order as many or as few courses as one wished. The restaurant chose wines to complement the courses. We got the impression that the chef had composed his menus on the basis that there were seven courses involved; each course turned out to be quite small. So, next time (and there will be a next time!) we'll go for the full seven courses. As it was, I ordered four courses while my partner had three. In addition there was an exquisite bonne bouche to kick-start our taste buds and we finished off with a digestive, so we're not complaining! Each course was conceived, executed and presented to perfection. The wines were good enough to make us do a complete re-think on the quality of German wines. Here's just an indication of the service. We were, of course, shown the labels of each wine. When presented with the wine for my main course, I noted that the vineyard was in a place called Ahr. I asked where Ahr was, but the waitress was unsure. A few minutes later she presented me with a print-out from Wikipedia giving details of the area. We were last to leave the restaurant and were given no impression that we should hurry up. So, on all counts this restaurant scored full marks. Absolutely recommended and well worth a detour.

Oozing with old world charm and a cosy tiled stove to lean against on a frosty evening we filled our table for six. The waiter was professional and charming taking orders for drinks and then food. An extensive menu from which I chose venison with red cabbage and Turingen dumplings. The dark beer washed it down. Enjoyed a children's portion of pancake with apple and ice cream. Coffees rounded the meal. Played a game on my host by paying the bill without him noticing. When he asked the waiter if he could pay he was told meals were free on Saturday.

Lovely food. Typical German style - meat and dumplings, no veg. Good service, although we had gone with the locals. No complaints at all.
