About Gretchens Restaurant & Café
Gretchens Restaurant & Café is an organic restaurant and café on the Seifengasse that describes its ambition simply as good food for Weimar: cooked fresh, organic, with vegan and vegetarian dishes treated as part of the menu rather than a concession, and coffee and wine alongside. It keeps daytime hours and shuts in the afternoon.
A daytime kitchen, and it opens earlier at the weekend
The hours tell you what this place is for. It opens at nine on weekdays and eight at weekends, and it is shut by three or four in the afternoon — so it is a breakfast and lunch house, not somewhere to end an evening.
