Görlitzer Kartoffelhaus

The Görlitzer Kartoffelhaus has been cooking in the old town for around twenty years, and as the name says, nearly everything here turns on the potato. It sits on Steinstraße, the short street that climbs from Marienplatz towards the Obermarkt, and in summer its beer garden looks across to the Gerhart Hauptmann Theatre and the little Annenkapelle. Inside there is a main dining room with about ninety seats in a rustic, cosy style, a small separate nook for seven and a long table that takes groups of up to twenty, plus a function room called the 'Alter Fritz'. The beer garden opens from May to October. The menu is long and unapologetically regional. Silesian dishes take a prominent place: 'Schlesisches Himmelreich', a slice of smoked pork loin with dried fruit in a sweet and sour sauce and potato dumplings, Silesian beer stew with sauerkraut, and a Silesian potato bratwurst on sauerkraut with Appernmauke, the local mashed potato. There are potato pancakes topped in several ways, potato soups, baked jacket potatoes with fillings, potato bakes such as the vegetarian 'Schöne Gärtnerin', fried potatoes with fried eggs, homemade beef roulade with red cabbage, steaks from the lava stone grill, a crisp half duck, and fish such as matjes herring, pickled fried herring and trout meunière. The drinks list includes Fritzens Kartoffelbier, a potato beer, and a potato schnapps. A separate children's menu exists, and the kitchen states it aims to work without additives where it can. Open every day from late morning to evening, it suits families, groups and anyone wanting hearty Silesian and regional food a short walk from the station quarter.
