truly wonderful totally unexpected gourmet experience! Since we only had an hour to get to the last tour of the Wartburg on a sunny cold January Saturday, we opted for lunch in our hotel and weren’t expecting much. My Spanish husband was especially suspicious of the Thüringer tapas on the menu, so we began just with three soups for the three of us: wild mushroom, potato, and a fish soup named after the restaurant. All three were so truly delicious that we ordered a full round of tapas that were just as tasty as they were creatively prepared: regular chorizo was combined with a lentil salad, Serrano ham with sour cream and basil, blue-violet potatoes with herbs and quark, Thüringer dumpling with cream cheese and herbs, grilled salmon with a bit of rucola salad served with Dijon mustard dressing. We left very well fed for our great tour of the Wartburg and were so impressed by our light lunch that we decided to come back for dinner in our hotel and chose two three-course specials. One started with a tasty pumpkin soup, the other with an appetizer that could’ve counted as an entrée: a surprising combination of trout with red beets and a radish potato dressing. We had the rack of lamb and the Wiener Schnitzel for our main courses and were only a bit disappointed that we had no room for more dessert than a small portion of ice cream. And our final bill for our party of three was less than € 100 – making five-star value for money!

Wir haben im Leander zu Abend gegessen und waren insgesamt zufrieden. Das Essen war nicht weltbewegend, aber vollkommen in Ordnung. Preislich waren wir positiv überrascht: Für drei Personen haben wir insgesamt nur 95€ bezahlt. Der Service war freundlich und aufmerksam.
