Gourmet restaurant inside the Zur Bleiche Resort & Spa in Burg (Spreewald), a critically recognized kitchen serving refined tasting menus built around Spreewald regional ingredients including local fish, Spreewaldgurken, and forest game.
17fuffzig is the gourmet restaurant of the Zur Bleiche Resort & Spa in Burg (Spreewald), one of the most acclaimed kitchens in the Spreewald biosphere reserve and a restaurant that has drawn critical attention from national German food guides. The kitchen builds its tasting menus around the Spreewald's own agricultural identity: PGI-protected Spreewaldgurken (pickled gherkins), local freshwater fish from the canal system, cold-pressed Leinöl (flaxseed oil), and quark, alongside forest game from the surrounding Lower Lusatian countryside. The dining room is contemporary and understated rather than rustic, in keeping with the resort's spa-hotel setting, and the format is a multi-course tasting menu rather than an à la carte selection. Because Burg (Spreewald) is a popular weekend destination for Berliners visiting the Spreewald canals, and the restaurant only opens Wednesday through Saturday, reservations should be made at least two to three weeks ahead, with more lead time needed during the July-to-September gherkin harvest season when the Spreewald draws its heaviest tourist traffic.
