About this place Apels Garten

It is a mainstream, gay-friendly restaurant, not a gay venue. It has a 4.5 Google rating from more than 900 reviews and is at the higher end of mid-range prices. It is small, so book ahead for dinner. The Thomaskirche and the Markt are about ten minutes' walk away.

We were a group of eight in a small room with a round table, so the server probably didn't see us. We ordered at 4 pm, the main course was served around 5:30 pm, and the server only came by every hour or so.

The schnitzel was dry. The wild boar was terrible and the red cabbage was totally overcooked. Waitress was indifferent but asked if I would like another meal. Not wanting to take another risk I declined. No apology. The menu was nothing like the one on the internet. NO Sauerbraten or Rouladen. Heavy on duck dishes. All servers were Vietnamese? We speculated that the restaurant had maybe been sold.

A lot of flies!!!! The service is still good but the "duck" liver is probably chicken and undercooked!!! The pumpkin soup is ok
