Scala - Turm Restaurant im Intershoptower

We visited the Scala restaurant as we had a voucher for a four course romantic dinner. Having called ahead to reserve a window seat (a must, for the view), we were pleased to see, upon arrival, that we did indeed have the last available window side table. We were greeted by friendly staff who proceeded to explain the menu, as well as provide us with our prosecco aperitif. The compliments of the chef was delicious, as was the selection of breads and butters/spreads. The evening continued as it had begun, with great attention being paid to our needs, making sure we were well looked after. The seasonal asparagus soup was simply divine, the highlight of our evening. The main course, Iberico fillet with some strange cheese topping, reminiscent of a Cheeto, was, admittedly, rather surprising, but entirely edible. The risk with such experiments is that they may not please everyone, as may be the case with this dish with other diners, but I can appreciate the effort put in to try and discover new classics. I found the dish overall to be quite tasty, though would not order it again, had I the choice. My partner's fish dish, however, was truly top notch. Finally, the dessert, banana in three styles, was served, and this once again stood out as a top dish. The wine recommendations provided by the waiter were very good (and not the most expensive). After the meal, we had a stroll around the top of the tower, taking in the splendid views of Jena and surroundings, which was a great way to cap off a fine evening with great food and top service. This was my third visit here, and both previous occasions were equally remarkable. This is clearly the best restaurant in Jena (though with a price tag to match, of course).

We've booked a table for 4 persons to celebrate a wedding day two weeks in advance. The online confirmation was also received. Upon arrival that day at the entrance they said they didn't have a table because of some big group event even though they saw the confirmation email (where we specifically mentioned the occasion). No apologies, absolutely nothing. They could at least inform us of cancellation in advance. Absolute disaster!

Wonderful views and superb food. A la carte with nuvelle quisine courses. Excellent choices of wine. The staff were attentive and friendly, topping up our glasses regularly. Above average prices but worth it with the quality and atmosphere. I recommend a visit when in Jena.

A fantastic view! And a great place to have a 75th anniversary dinner! The menu had an asian touch blended into the local style of Thüringen. Very well arranged and prepared! We very much enjoyed the locally sourced red wine from Mr. Proppe!

Stop here for a lunch break (daily menu at affordable price). The food is very good and tasty, with emphasis on nice presentation. Do not forget to make a reservation (ask for a window seat in order to enjoy the view over Jena).
