  1. A

    ACC

    Goethe had his first pad after arriving in Weimar in this building, now home to an alt-vibe, artsy hang-out, where the food and wine are organic whenever possible and the upstairs gallery delivers a primer on the local art scene. The owners also rent out a room and a holiday flat (www.goethezimmer.de), both handsomely furnished.

    Jo Hanns

    The food is satisfying but it's the 130 wines from the Saale-Unstrut Region - many served by the glass - that give Jo Hanns a leg up on the competition. No matter whether you order the classic steak or scallops and shrimp with mint-lime spaghetti, there's a bottle with your name on it.

    Anno 1900

    Send your taste buds on a wild ride in this elegant art-nouveau pavilion. How about emu filet with carrot-rocket fettucine followed by tonka-bean crème brûlée? It's adventurous, but most of the time it works. Breakfast is served until the hangover-friendly time of 2pm.

    Estragon

    There are days when a bowl of steamy soup feels as warm and embracing as a hug from a good friend. This little soup kitchen turns mostly organic ingredients into delicious flavour combos served in three sizes. It shares digs with a small organic supermarket.

    Da Cono

    Not just the decor is from another age here, the food is too - it's unpretentious, Italian and full of ingredients. Even the simple penne Arabiatta gets complex when you think about it. Like the rest of Da Cono, the service has character.

    Residenz-Café

    The 'Resi', one of Weimar's enduring favourites, is a jack of all trades: everyone should find something to their taste here. The Lovers' Breakfast is €19.50 for two, but the inspired meat and vegetarian dishes may well have you swooning, too.

    Gasthaus Zum Weissen Schwan

    At this venerable inn, you can fill your tummy with Goethe's favourite dish, which actually hails from his home town of Frankfurt (boiled beef with herb sauce, red beet salad and potatoes). The rest of the menu, though, is upmarket Thuringian.

    Brasserie Central

    This popular bistro-bar starts the day with breakfast and, as the clock loops the hours, becomes a relaxed eatery, and a place to indulge in coffee, wine or beer.
