Lilie Dr. Georg Meyer - Bremen

This is a really friendly and authentic place. You can only eat there for a drink or both! . The waitresses are welcoming and smiling. The...

We arrived without a booking but were offered 3 seats at the bar; not an issue for us. We had the Halloumi Burgers, very tasty (will try making them up at home) our daughter who lives locally had one of their famous 'Flamenkuchen ', an oblong variation of a Pizza. Love this place.

Perfect place, seriously, my favourite in Bremen (and I´ve been there for a while). If you don´t speak German, the service is absolutely wonderful, talking nicely in English to you (which can be often a problem in north of Germany). I went three times with my 1.5 yrs old baby, and all the waitresses were truly kind with us! The flammkuchens (typical kind of pizza from Germany) are unbeatable, and the atmosphere is also very friendly, warm and comfortable. 100% recommended if you don´t speak German and/ or travel with a baby!

I visited this restaurant with colleagues, and despite us arriving sporadically, the staff where not only patient, but friendly and helped us out with smiles on their faces. There were options on the menu for vegans, vegetarians and carnivores. Gluten-free and nut-free food was readily available. Reasonable list of drinks. The food itself was nice and fairly priced.

The atmosphere at the Lilie was upbeat and well occupied yet it wasn't too noisy as there were many areas of the restaurant to find seating with sections outside, inside on the main floor as well as a separate room beyond the main area and additional seating upstairs. We were seated at a single table between the main dining area and the side area next to the kitchen entrance which suited us perfectly as we were a bit removed from the louder sections yet we were able to enjoy the overall atmosphere. The decor is unique in that it serves as an art gallery for people to display and sell their creations. Our friend who lives in Bremen highly recommended the Flammkuchen which she said is a specialty of the Lilie. The bread is similar to but thinner than an American flatbread with a texture more similar to a cracker or fried tortilla. There isn't anything quite like it. We enjoyed it so much that I intend to track down a recipe for it to replace our traditional homemade pizza crust when I return home. We tried the Tandoori and the Rindersteakstreifen. The Tandoori was a little bit sweet with a yellow curry sauce, chicken, peppers, and cheese. This was VERY GOOD!!! The Rindersteakstreifen was also good with tender beef strips, mushrooms, onion, mozzarella cheese, and it was topped with arugula lettuce. Both of these were prepared perfectly with tender meats, nicely textured veggies, and perfectly melted cheese. Our friend had the tomato soup which was homemade with a wonderful flavor and was served with a home made bread. This was a very nice restaurant to visit after a long day of sightseeing. We were seated quickly and the food didn't take too long to arrive. For the most part, we were accepted well although our waitress seemed a little grumpy that it took us a little longer than normal to decide what to order since we don't speak German. However, that wouldn't stop up from eating here again since everything else was top notch.
