Kulmberghaus - Saalfeld/Saale

Great traditional German food with Thuringen regional recipes. Great views of the countryside from restaurant windows. Exceptional service despite minimal or no English spoken. Highly recommend for authentic German experience in great country setting. Worth the drive.

Great family atmosphere. That is what I liked best about the Kulmberghaus restaurant. Not only does it have a breathtaking view from its windows (and the nearby watchtower) over Thuringia, but the service is great, and all of the staff are very kind and helpful....The traditional German food is total lecker (totally delicious), I had the salad with rot kraut to start with, then a delicious assortment of meats, consisting of duck, beef, and venison. This was accompanied by traditional Thuringian dumplings, and herb potatoes. It has been the best German food I have tasted here. The meat melted in your mouth. Especially the beef. I would definitely return to this magnificent restaurant for lunch again when I come to Thuringia again!

The Dumplings are really delicious! I had Hirschkeule I would translate that with Elk meat, because I am not sure that it is venison (since I've never had venison) from the hip (not the whole leg hehehe). I don't translate food for a living, I...just eat it. It was really very tasty. My husband had goose and dumplings, and my daughter had fish fingers and dumplings. My Son was the odd one out with french fries and schnitzel. I would definitely come back

Der gemischte Kuchenteller ist absolut empfehlenswert. Dazu eine herrliche Aussicht, was will man mehr? Selbst für ehemalige Thüringer immer wieder einen Besuch wert.
