Destille - Görlitz

We were determined to try the Schlesisches Himmelreich (google it!) before leaving Görlitz and our Rick Steves guidebook recommended the Destille. We were not disappointed so perhaps this really is the best one in town?Beef carpaccio to start was excellent, the pasta dish my wife had was good. Goosberry liquer afterwards delicious.We arrived at 19:30 and were lucky to get a table, so reservations are recommended - although it was half empty when we left. The young guy servings us was professional but not especially friendly - should try smiling once in a while.If you found this review helpful, I would appreciate your vote.

We stayed in the adjacent hotel, so it was a given for us to also try out the restaurant. As it was warm we sat outside next to the Nikolai-tower, one of the historic sites of Goerlitz. The menu wasn't extensive and there were hardly any vegetarian dishes on there, we nearly walked away. But we found one in the end, advertised on the blackboard of daily specials. The food arrived quite quickly and was good. Not the best meal either of us ever had, but that was obviously because our choice was so limited. Prices were quite reasonable and service was friendly.

Excellent place, if a bit hidden, for a family lunch while exploring Görlitz. Good service and regional food.

I went to the Destille with two friends on a Saturday for dinner. When I spotted OxTongue on the menu I decided without hesitation to order this specialty, which you find very rarely offered in restaurants. It was excellently prepared and went along with vipers' grass (Schwarzwurzeln). I do not understand why the english give such a ghastly name to this tasty vegetable. Also the italian dishes are very good. I had an excellent carpacio as a starter. My friends were aso contend with their dishes. So, it was all together a successful dinner experience.

Very straight forward service and typical regional dishes, if a little unexciting, wine was a good range of local and french wine not over priced. Atmosphere inside was good with nice table outside when the weather is warmer.
