    Kartoffelrösti and lachs with a glass of their pilsner.
    Aleksei M.

    The cab driver who took us here said this place was touristy and that the beer was too bitter. Well, as a tourist myself, he may be correct. As for the beer (and food) though, I do not see what he did not like. My mate and I went during lunch hour during the work week while touring Hannover. The waitress was polite and attentive to our requests and questions (and she even spoke some English). Being a brewpub in Germany, the cuisine is German, too. We ordered a baked potato with salad, gulasch soup, and Kartoffelrösti (hashbrowns) while we enjoyed a few beers. The food was a little more expensive than other places, but the portions were quite large - so I feel we got what we paid for. Now, this place makes its own micro-brews, so I had high standards for their beers. They did not disappoint! Their pilsner is possibly the most unique I have ever had - its cloudy appearance and full-mouthed taste make it stand apart from others in Germany (a country over-flowing with pilsners). I would recommend trying the "Roter Saphir," too. Overall, this place is a fun brewpub worth going to if you are in the center of Hannover.

    Tomato soup

    We saw this place was a brewery and restaurant when we stopped in Hannover. I'm a huge brewery/restaurant fan. I saw they had 2 beers on the menu. Pils and Saison. I had the pils and although it was different than any traditional pils it was still a good beer. I ordered the tomato soup and schnitzel with spicy sauce. The tomato soup was hearty, and peppery which I really enjoyed. The schnitzel with spicy sauce is definitely odd for Germany but figured I'd give it a go since I love spicy food. The schnitzel by itself was pretty good but the sauce on top was odd. At first I liked it but the more I ate the more I hated it. I give them 4-5 stars for service, atmosphere. I knock them down for the food. Would suggest trying it out, just avoid the spicy sauce!

    This is certainly the best gutbürgerliche (traditional German food) restaurant in central Hannover…read moreand may be one of the best of this increasingly rare type in all of Germany. The Schweinshaxe and Eisbein are especially fine, the former exploding with molten fat from perfectly crisped skin. I rate Max W. at five stars for doing what it does so well, but to enjoy it--indeed to eat there at all--you must adhere exactingly to its Unwritten Laws. Despite its working man's prices and an interior looking like a down-at-heel Studentenkneipe this is a feinschmeker (gourmet) restaurant and must be treated as such. You need to reserve by telephone at least several days in advance, and humbly offer them an appealing number of diners (ideally either four or six: they have only 25 places at tables and four stools at the bar and must be ruthless about maximizing their yield: do not even think of asking for a table for one; they will simply refuse (reserve--and you do still need to reserve--a seat at the bar). Persons wandering in without a reservation hoping for a table--and especially tourists without German--are treated with fine forthright traditional north-German rudeness: "Nein! Nein! Weg! Weg!" (Sometimes in chorus.) This is a performance--once one has actually received permission to eat there the staff are warm and charming in a rough, Hannover, sort of way--but, I guarantee you (having suffered this) that you will not recognize the tone of your expulsion as a jolly act when it occurs, nor will you notice the ironical pleasure the regulars are taking in your fate, because you have just become a familiar--three or four times an hour--and well-loved part of the evening's entertainment. This is the same particularly German form of quiet rejoycing at the artful humiliation of others that has made Sven, the cruel bouncer at Berlin's legendary Berghain dance club, a figure of national affection. Those refused entry at Max W. become a special German sauce on the already superb food. And whether you end up as a diner or back on the pavement with your head spinning, either way you have had a perfectly authentic Hannover experience.

    Been traveling all over Eastern Europe and this has been the best German food. The food is…read moreauthentic and very reasonably priced.

    If you're looking for cloth napkins, fancy schmancy dinnerware, and waiters who take your coat at…read morethe entrance, 11a is not for you. If you're looking for killer innovative dishes with organic local ingredients served in a greenhouse backdrop by servers who can just as easily be standing next to you in a mosh pit at a rock concert, this is the place to go! Having tired of the standard German breakfast, my husband and I who just moved here from the US in 2010 were looking for a different menu, preferably something fresh that didn't involve huge amounts of nitrates or sausage. That's when the smoked salmon stack at 11a became a real game-changer. Staying true to the greenhouse motif, there seems to always be a little green on every dish. A salmon Benedict without the hollandaise, the salmon stack has thin slices of crustless white toast corners with slices of their own cured salmon, deliciously dressed salad greens, and a poached egg. They even have a naughty English breakfast with fried eggs, bacon, cheese baked tomato, plenty of arugula, fried toast and beans. Breakfasts came with a glass of prosecco or juice. Their standard menu of house favorites is supplemented with a daily menu that changes to the local ingredients in season. We never know what to expect on the daily menu, but part of the fun is arriving one day to find they have an organic pasta bolognese made from locally hunted venison only to return another day and find they've already replaced that dish with an amazing organic lamb roast with roasted organic farmer's market veggies. The dishes are imagination with an easy hand and the prices are well within reason. While this may not be the place to take Grandma--unless your Grandma is cool like mine is!--the food at 11a strives to give your palate and the planet the respect it deserves. Once you get over your need for white glove treatment while you're in Linden, because hello you're in LINDEN, you can focus on what really counts: the fantastic fare before you.

    I tried this place tonight and was very pleasantly surprised. We started with a tuna tartare…read moreappetizer, which was unique and delicious. It had some sort of savory wasabi whipped cream topping which was quite interesting. My entree, lamb rib cutlets, was absolutely delicious, and cooked perfectly medium rare. My partner's entree, Goat Cheese ravioli was divine -- the texture of the filling was fanstastic! My only complaint is that my vegetables were slightly overcooked for my taste (but were certainly more crisp than 99% of other restaurant in Hannover) Anyways, this is the best restaurant I have found so far in Hannover, and I plan to go back often. The menu changes weekly, and I look forward to what they will come up with!
