The story
Tobi ornot ToBe in Dessau offers a grounded take on modern German cuisine under Tobias Felger’s direction. He sources fresh ingredients daily and prepares them without unnecessary complexity. The Schlemmer Atlas recognized this straightforward approach when awarding the restaurant one and a half ladles for 2026. His relaxed attitude keeps the German kitchen focused on quality over pretense.
House baked sourdough flammkuchen forms the foundation of the menu. Guests frequently order the breaded schnitzel alongside seasonal fish preparations. A grilled steak appears regularly during colder months. The kitchen finishes every dish with freshly chopped herbs and sea salt.
The dining room sits directly in the center of Dessau-Roßlau. Large windows face the quiet street while wooden tables and soft lighting create a calm space for conversation. Locals gather here for casual lunches and weekend dinners. The unpretentious layout keeps the focus squarely on the food itself.
