The story
Das Ballenberger, at Gotthardtstraße 25 in Erfurt, is an international restaurant that received 2.5 Kochlöffel in the 2026 Schlemmer Atlas. The kitchen is built around European country cooking, adapted for city dining.
The house describes its cooking as European country cooking, interpreted for Erfurt. Classic dishes stay on the list alongside a menu that changes every week. A fine food selection is also sold in the shop, so part of the kitchen can be taken home.
The Schlemmer Atlas notes a small menu that includes ox cheek, fjord trout and crème brûlée. Guests can choose a three-, four- or five-course menu. The restaurant sits near the historic Krämerbrücke, and it offers outdoor seating and wheelchair access.
