A place that reminds me of the fancy, sustainable restaurants in Berlin.
We loved this place <3 Something very unique in Ilmenau! The menu is seasonal, healthy and offers things I don't cook at home. Vegan, vegetarian and gluten free dishes were offered on the menu as we went there yesterday (the menu does change seasonably, check online). Everything is self made from scratch... even the chocolate in the dessert! Ingredients are strictly organic (Demeter). When offering dishes that include meat they pay attention to where it comes from and that the animals where treated good.
Questioning the concept the waiter simply said "this is how we would cook at home for ourselves". This is not a place that is attending the "race to the bottom" trying to make as much profit by buying as cheap as possible. They are mindful about what they serve (healthy & diverse), which ingredients they choose (seasonable & sustainable). They are family owned (wife and mother are cooking, husband is serving). To top it off, I think the prices are fair/reasonable considering the hustle they make to serve you the most mindful food in Ilmenau.
Please keep doing what you do. Please keep educating your customers about how your dishes are made with great effort and handcraft.
