A
Zum Goldenen Schwan
This authentic inn serves all the usual Thuringian classics, but, if you’re up to mounting your own Survivor challenge, try something called Puffbohnenpfanne (fried broad beans with roast bacon), an Erfurt speciality. Excellent house brews wash everything down well.

Zum Güldenen Rade
For the best potato dumplings in town, report to this gorgeous patrician town house that, centuries ago, housed a tobacco factory. Aside from the classic version with gravy, you can also order them with stuffings, such as spinach and salmon, or with black pudding and liver pâté.

Erfurter Brauhaus
As well as tasty square meals, we found the ubiquitous Three Wise Men of German boutique brewing here: one pilsner, one wheat beer and one dark beer. The fourth, the Märzbier (a blended pilsner and dark beer), must be popular because it had run out on the day.

Lutherkeller
The Lutherkeller theme-eatery (downstairs from Alboth's Restaurant 0361 568 8207) is a different kettle of fish - straw on the floor, chirpy personnel and prices in German Thaler (one-to-one exchange rate, they say). Each to their own, both are excellent.

Steinhaus
The ceiling beams may be ancient, but the crowd is intergenerational at this rambling gastro pub-cum-beer garden in the historic Engelsburg. Dips, baguettes, pasta and gratins should keep your tummy filled and your brain balanced.

Mediterrana
Candles, Chianti and a table for two are the hallmarks of a romantic night out. If that and the riverside setting in an ancient mill don't make your date swoon, at least the delicious Italian food should ensure a fine evening.

Haus Zur Pfauen
This jack-of-all-trades wears tradition on its sleeve - it's a restaurant, has its own microbrewery (a dark beer and a pilsner), its own pension (upstairs), and its own beer garden; it even does city tours.

Altstadt Cafe
Chatty mothers, foot-weary sightseers and people catching up on their reading gather at this historic cafe in a 14th-century building. The terrace overlooking the Gera is an enchanting spot in fine weather.

Zwiesel
Been cut out of the family will? No problem at this reliable cheapie choice, which has 25 mains costing just €5.95 and drinks prices to match. Even the rump steak is only €8.95. Any of the 350 cocktails cost €4.90.

Bombay
Although the curries aren't hot and it sets its sights resolutely on the tourist trade, this Indian eating house is very decent, with lots of vegetarian dishes.

Il Mulino
On a warm day or night the riverside setting and garden seating are a treat in this Italian restaurant - the menu could do with an abridged edition, though.

Highly recommended for its creative Mediterranean cuisine, Don Camillo has many surprises up its sleeve - not least its interesting wine list.

Q
Trattoria la Grappa
This cosy Italian trattoria wends and winds over two floors and is almost bursting at the seams with homely decorations. The pasta is homemade and you can also order veal, lamb, beef and lamb dishes à la carte, but the menus are the best value.
