I found this place on Yelp and was happy to know it was just a short walk from the hotel we had…read morebooked. It looked like the reviews were good from both tourists and locals alike, so I figured we should check it out. My German half-brother-in-law and I both ordered the Schnitzel, and he actually said it was very well done and one of the best ones he's ever had, which I think says a lot!! My husband got the pork knuckle which was really just way too much food, but he enjoyed it thoroughly. The servers were very kind and helpful, and although we sat outside because the weather was nice and there was no air-conditioning indoors, I got to walk through the restaurant to access the salad bar and was surprised to see how nicely decorated it was inside. I definitely considered coming back for a second day in a row and definitely would have if we had stayed for longer!

First time in Bremen and read the reviews so we went and happy we did! It's a cute smaller place…read morewith outside seating. We got a lovely table for 2 right next to the window. Quite music, low lighting, friendly English speaking staff but a bit elusive as we came at the beginning of busy time so she was running around hoping others. The food-awesome! My husband had the schnitzel and loved it. We all had the escargot that was delicious. I had the local special (first one on the menu) that translates to eel. It was marinated or "cooked" like ceviche is made point is it's not fried/baked etc and more like sushi consistency with sour cream based salad on top and yummy fried potatoes. It's wasn't fishy and I loved it. It's he nearer dish in the pic. One app, one beer, water and entrees was 43.60euros. If we're back in Bremen we'd go back.

Being used to the craft breweries in the USA, I'd done my homework and reviewed the beers listed on Untappd. So I was surprised when I was asked, "Blonde or Red?" But I admire a brewery that limits itself to a couple beers only. The red very cloudy but very pleasant.

The beer was decent but the customer service was seriously lacking. I think they are wildly…read moreunderstaffed. I also booked a reservation on OpenTable. They had my reservation (he referenced a sheet) but after I left the restaurant (after dining), I received an email asking why I didn't show up for my reservation. So perhaps they aren't super organized. After I sat down, I ordered beer and it came. Then I sat there for an uncomfortably long time without anyone coming to see if I wanted to order food. Someone finally came to take my order. A table that was seated after me was able to order and get their food before I could even place my order. When the staff was present, the service was great, but it took me a long time to get through this meal and to get out due to all the waiting. Be ready for this if you choose to come here.

My Bremen family (via husband) have been coming to this local speciality restaurant since the 90's…read more The setting is in an idyllic farm location outside of Bremen; Lilienthal, which clearly hasn't changed in years, if not decades. The menu is seasonal; if not 'Taglich' (daily). The Chef prides himself in cooking everything for all of his guests, for every meal. This particular occasion was a celebration that my Father-in-law arranged for his survival of a recent stroke. My usual preparation to a restaurant visit, old and new, is to read recent reviews. In previous visits to Zur Schleuse, I recall enjoying 'healthified' versions of the menu offerings. Perhaps this was a previous trend? Our respective selections (photos) attached, were much more heavy. In reading reviews, menu guests have experienced the same. I'm wondering if the Chef (or sous-Chef) can consider a 'healthified' menu; where the fish is prepared in simple cooking techniques (poached, grilled, roasted) without so much oil. Also, the menu seems inflexible to any dietary restrictions and allergies (please correct me otherwise). But the fish was clearly fresh and tasty. My husband ordered an extraordinary plum dessert that still remains on my palate. The rustic setting, homestyle atmosphere, welcoming service, made up for any of the above critique. It was (yet another) memorable family meal.

A very enjoyable meal and pleasant ambiance especially for lunch. The set menu is excellent value…read more If you don't like smoke get a table well away from the smoking salon as the door is left open to the rest of the dining area
