Am Thor - Dresden

We've been wondering why the restaurant is called Am Thor. From the outside, we hadn't talked about it like that. The ambience reminded us of the later GDR years. The guests who sat on the terrace in the direction of Albertplatz also arranged in this time. But we were interested. How is the service, like the food? We went through the door with a little overcoming. There was no human being inside. But it was clean and bright. We put ourselves in the back of the wall. We regret this after 20 minutes, because the waitress overlooked us, found us a wasp for it all the more interesting and the compassion past our table was great to the toilet But we didn't want to implement. We went to the waitress and described her our time pressure. We had planned a short hour here and asked before ordering whether the food could be served within 25 minutes. She was very kind and said her chefs were fast. We ordered a few foods and Latte Macchiato and watched how the young woman literally ran to serve all guests outside alone. She couldn't do anything, but the coffee alone needed another 15 minutes until he was on the table. The food didn't come up until we had to go. We courtly promised to come back after our appointment and to eat the ordered dishes. It wasn't good for us. The service had promised us too much. In the meantime we had had enough time to read out why the Dresdner Restaurant Am Thor was called. It had nothing like spontaneously doing with the young politicians. It was said that the traditional cult restaurant on the Dresdner Hauptstraße with Saxon and German cuisine is not after the Nordic god of thunder, but because the “Black Thor” was close to the fortification facility of the old Dresden. We were back at the date we agreed. Everything was still on our table including empty glass. But the food wasn't ready again. We had to wait another 15 minutes. The reason was to serve it freshly. We spent a lot of time in and with the restaurant Am Thor on the main road. That's why we wouldn't go to lunch. Or maybe because of the nice service power? The extra menu on the table is overwritten with “Bock on tasty?” There are carvings, asparagus cream soup and Saxon quartks. On the regular map you will find dishes such as sausage meat, beef, peasant breakfast, grape sausage and Karlovy Vary cuts. All quite rustic, even dishes that are known from the GDR. The audience seems to be happy. Many older guests are here and during our visits orders for family celebrations are received. Regular guests. You've been celebrating here for years... We ordered and ate: carving with potatoes and cauliflower for 14.95 euros. Schopska salad for 8.95 Euro Flamecake Alsace type with Crème Fraîche, bacon and fresh cloth for 11.95 Euro. It tasted good. We were very hungry after the second attempt to order something. It was nothing unusual. But a good taste like cooked at home solid itself.
