Came here for dinner since I was staying one night on location at the Van Der Valk hotel. The…read morestaff are friendly and the food is delicious. We ordered a bottle of German red wine and courgette cannelloni to start. For our main course we enjoyed the white asparagus and salmon dish as well as the weiner schnitzel and vegetables plate. The food was great. I wish the salmon portion had been a little larger, but the large amount of asparagus does fill you up. We would comeback in the future. Thank you for a great experience.

If you're looking for cloth napkins, fancy schmancy dinnerware, and waiters who take your coat at…read morethe entrance, 11a is not for you. If you're looking for killer innovative dishes with organic local ingredients served in a greenhouse backdrop by servers who can just as easily be standing next to you in a mosh pit at a rock concert, this is the place to go! Having tired of the standard German breakfast, my husband and I who just moved here from the US in 2010 were looking for a different menu, preferably something fresh that didn't involve huge amounts of nitrates or sausage. That's when the smoked salmon stack at 11a became a real game-changer. Staying true to the greenhouse motif, there seems to always be a little green on every dish. A salmon Benedict without the hollandaise, the salmon stack has thin slices of crustless white toast corners with slices of their own cured salmon, deliciously dressed salad greens, and a poached egg. They even have a naughty English breakfast with fried eggs, bacon, cheese baked tomato, plenty of arugula, fried toast and beans. Breakfasts came with a glass of prosecco or juice. Their standard menu of house favorites is supplemented with a daily menu that changes to the local ingredients in season. We never know what to expect on the daily menu, but part of the fun is arriving one day to find they have an organic pasta bolognese made from locally hunted venison only to return another day and find they've already replaced that dish with an amazing organic lamb roast with roasted organic farmer's market veggies. The dishes are imagination with an easy hand and the prices are well within reason. While this may not be the place to take Grandma--unless your Grandma is cool like mine is!--the food at 11a strives to give your palate and the planet the respect it deserves. Once you get over your need for white glove treatment while you're in Linden, because hello you're in LINDEN, you can focus on what really counts: the fantastic fare before you.

I tried this place tonight and was very pleasantly surprised. We started with a tuna tartare…read moreappetizer, which was unique and delicious. It had some sort of savory wasabi whipped cream topping which was quite interesting. My entree, lamb rib cutlets, was absolutely delicious, and cooked perfectly medium rare. My partner's entree, Goat Cheese ravioli was divine -- the texture of the filling was fanstastic! My only complaint is that my vegetables were slightly overcooked for my taste (but were certainly more crisp than 99% of other restaurant in Hannover) Anyways, this is the best restaurant I have found so far in Hannover, and I plan to go back often. The menu changes weekly, and I look forward to what they will come up with!

The restaurant is mediocre at best. We went there with three people total, we ordered the…read moreschnitzel, the spare ribs and the steak. The schnitzel was soggy and tasteless, most of all it was very chewy which made it extremely hard to enjoy. The steak was also chewy and tasteless, the only alright thing having been the ribs, with a nice barbecue coating. The side dishes were nothing more than alright. The interior is definitely the best thing, being a mix of noble and a factory.

As usual, lets start with the relevant : Go there and enjoy ! But as usual , lets only concentrate on the pure facts: classification traditional german urban restaurant quality of food very good to excellent service sustainable excellent price/performance ratio : 95% customer orientation : 100 % comming back to the starter: what do you expect from a significant young service-team running an traditional old-school restaurant with a menu containing about ~160 meals ? -chaos ? , missing knowlege about all that meals ? poor service ? - exceeding waiting times ? Convenience food ? etc Believe me saying , that weve found nothing of all that issues ! Surrounding condition: 70 % occupied on a sunday afternoon ! anyhow : Entry : Started with a warm and professional welcome. Handing over the menu taking the order in no time (drinks) 25 minutes to study the menu (recommendation ,instead of handing over the menu just ask the guest what he likes, we believe its on the menue somewhere ;-) ) Order (time to serving about 20 min. very good) : salad ( fresh and tasty) good pancake (freshly cooked i guess no frozen somewhat) excellent main: childrens schnitzel excellent BLT sandwich excellent sliced beef with rice (ordered with baked potato but recommended to served with rice + add. potato point out again again excellent knowlege of the menu) jaegerschnitzel (asked for no creamy sauce, only mushrooms recommended with onions + mushrooms + spicy bernaise*) excellent as wellps : spicy bernaise sauce was warm which is not typical in surroundings of hanover restaurants (for bad example see as well feed for Langenhagen Steakfarm)dessert: childrens voted for ice cream , recommended by service that one cup is enough for both of them (quite professional .) In a nutshell: our recommendation : whatever you expect from an traditional restaurant- pub near hanover, you`ll find it in Gehrden. Again pointing out that, despite of the very young service crew, most of the high price restaurants already visited, they may learn a lot from this young crew what service could mean. Jan *as usual posted this feed in english , to give an recommendation as well to international visitors staying in the hanover region. restaurants are compared in their class and always remember : good food is not a crime
