What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Altes Wettbüro is praised for its fantastic food and chill, laid-back atmosphere, especially its beautiful garden setting. While the menu may be concise, dishes are generally delicious and creative. However, some guests have noted that the 'extraordinary' has become more 'good' over time, and occasional service lapses like delayed plate clearing or cutlery provision have been mentioned.
"Lovely restaurant with friendly staff, a beautiful patio setting, and delicious food. The menu food menu is short compared to the beverages, but our salads and pasta were delicious, as was the German beer (of course...). English was no problem."

"Today I dined in at a restaurant and had the Grillwurst-Ragout von Händlers-Duroc aus Großdobritz. It was a surprisingly delightful dish! The ragout was stocked with flavor, offering a delightful balance of savory and slightly sharpy notes. The portion was quite generous, perfect for a hearty appetite.
For dessert, I opted for the panna cotta with strawberry. The panna cotta itself was smooth and delicious, but the chocolate chips were a bit of a distraction. The sweetness of the chocolate overpowered the delicate flavor of the panna cotta and the strawberries. I would recommend enjoying this dessert without the chocolate chips to truly appreciate the fresh flavors."
