Restaurant Bettina von Arnim in Weimar

Very good

We were served very friendly and ate really well. Nevertheless, the price-performance ratio is not entirely consistent. The dishes are really innovative in taste, prepared with good ingredients and beautifully presented. However, my starter salad had no unusual components: leaf salads, various fresh herbs, conventional cherry tomatoes and tiny pieces of carrots and radishes. I had to leave some already yellow leaves. There is nothing to complain about about our main courses, great meat and fish quality, super brilliant vegetables and intense sauces. Only the point that the larger and significantly more expensive portions were brought to us without being asked would mark me. Here, at least for my turbot main course, I just found it really fat. I also found my dessert a little disappointing. I had chosen an ice cream sundae, which was comparatively cheap at € 5 but really puny. I couldn't really take a tiny scoop of Mövenpicke ice cream, which had already set in for a long time with 4 raspberries and 6 blueberries and a mini dab of cream. But I was glad not to have taken the 10 € dessert from the menu card because at our table neighbors I saw that it was just as tiny as I think I would have been annoyed. Nevertheless, I give 4 stars because we had a very nice evening in a cozy atmosphere and were served very very friendly. Since we can enjoy upscale cuisine relatively often, we also know fairer P-L ratios.

It's good, but I expected more
