About the restaurant

Gasthof Forsthaus, located in Moritzburg, is a beautiful and intimate restaurant and event space available for lunch, dinner and special occasions. A quaint dining space is wistfully decorated in the style of old Germany, and Gasthof Forsthaus's history as a hunting lodge has made its way into the decor as well as the menu. Dishes of venison dominate the menu, prepared in a variety of ways from traditional German cooking techniques. Diners can also enjoy the local Meissner wines, which come from a local vintner. After dinner, guests can stroll around the Gasthof Forsthaus grounds or even enjoy a ride on a horse-drawn carriage.

Sehmatal

About the restaurant

Seit nun zwei Generationen bieten wir Ihnen in der Gaststub zur Bimmlbah', hausgemachte erzgebirgische Speisen mit frischen Produkten aus der Region.

Hierbei treffen Oma´s Rezepte auf junge Küche und bilden damit das Herzstück der Bimm'. Erzgebirgische Speisekultur ist uns eine Herzensangelegenheit, die wir pflegen und bewahren möchten.

Die erzgebirgische Küche kann mit vielen Spezialitäten aufwarten. Die Zubereitung von Speisen und hauseigenen Rezepten sind über Generationen hinweg erhalten geblieben. Aus der Not heraus wurden aus der vorwiegend angebauten Kartoffel die schmackhaftesten Speisen gezaubert. Kombiniert mit Pilzen aus den Wäldern und viel Speck ergab das jedoch deftige, wohlschmeckende Gerichte.

Wir freuen uns auf Ihren Besuch!
Familie Jahn und das Team der Bimmlbah'

This place is absolutely amazing. The food is at the level of a Michelin starred restaurant. The service is friendly yet very professional. It is a relatively small place and although we were tourists, we felt at home, like a neighborhood restaurant.

Im alten und neuen Herzen von Dresden, am Neumarkt mit Blick auf die Frauenkirche ist unser Restaurant gelegen. Aufgeteilt in verschiedene Räumlichkeiten auf zwei Etagen erleben Sie im Freiberger Schankhaus original erzgebirgische Gemütlichkeit.
Im Schankraum spüren Sie urig gesellige Brauhausatmosphäre. Der lang gestreckte Tresen mit Zapfanlage, dahinter die raumhohen Apothekerregale und zwei kupferne Sudkessel zaubern ein einzigartiges Ambiente. Bei Bier, Brezel und Plausch geht's hier recht lebhaft zu.
Ruhiger sitzen Sie im Salomoniszimmer. Durch seine Abtrennung ist dieser Raum auch für Gruppen bis 30 Personen geeignet. In Anlehnung an die Geschichte des Hauses wurde hier ein Teil der ursprünglich an diesem Standort ansässigen"Salomonis-Apotheke" nachgestaltet.

Nice location and cozy atmosphere. The service was quick and friendly. The food was only average but okay. We could imagine coming again for drinks and snacks but not for a meal.
