Eating and drinking
1 Acanthus Untermarkt 22 
03581/66 18 10 Popular unpretentious place that's all about its location in a rambling complex of cellars and a rear garden that overlooks the river. Closed lunch Mon– Fri.
2 Bürgerstübl Neissstr. 27 03581/87 95 79 Silesian specials such as Schlesisches Himmelreich and smoked ribs in a sweet and sour sauce in one of Görlitz's oldest inns, its decor a timewarp back a century or two.
3 Filetto Peterstr. 1 03581/42 11 31 Romantic and rather classy little Italian with a small garden for summer; tasty steaks and modern pastas are good value at around €8. Closed lunch Mon– Fri.
4 Lucie Schulte Untermarkt 22 03581/41 02 60 Modern glass-skinned place in a courtyard off the square that's smart but nicely laid-back in style. Its seasonal menus of light international dishes offer the finest cuisine in town. Eve only.
5 Verrandenmühle Hotherstr. 20 03581/40 66 61 "The easternmost gastronomy in Germany" is one selling point. The other is a veranda that juts into the river, making this a popular choice for a booze-up in summer. Service can be a misnomer when busy.
