Altes Gasthaus Leve in Münster

Four of us came from the Christmas market. We didn't have a table reserved for 6:00 p.m. We were still able to do so. A reserved table at 8 p.m. was made available for us. We had 2 hours, which was more than enough. Very good food. The staff was extremely praiseworthy. I was asked several times whether everything was OK. or whether something else would be desired. Nothing more is possible. We'll be back

Went there just for a beer. So I can't judge the food.

Very nice hotel. Large spacious rooms and a very good breakfast. You can also enjoy dinner in the evening.

Service that couldn't be better, delicious food and everything you would imagine a visit to the brewery would be like

Always delicious, so always packed (at least in the evenings). It's worth it.

Great food, nice service, great old pub

Great restaurant in Münster's old town, attentive service, very tasty food, large portions, the hare legs tasted almost like mom's, clear recommendation

Delicious, diverse dishes from traditional Westphalian to game. Service was also very attentive and the interior design was a feast for the eyes. We'd love to come back!

We enjoyed a wonderful dinner at the Leve Inn. The Westphalian platter and lamb shank dish were outstanding. An experience of Munsterland cuisine, I would highly recommend it.

Cozy restaurant in the heart of Münster. Great service, delicious food and delicious drinks. We would love to come back 😊

Typical German restaurant, very well decorated. All the food was very good and the portion of knuckle was quite large.

Great food and great service. Perfect if you want to eat traditional German/Münsteran food.

Remarkably friendly open atmosphere, great service, reasonable prices = highly sought after! Absolutely recommended

Very good house, good service and excellent food.

Traditional German, large portions, making a starter or dessert unnecessary. Friendly service.

Great place! The ambience is really worth seeing. All rooms lovingly furnished. There were five of us, three times the food was great, twice not so good. The Mettendchen was very dry and the schnitzel was fried for too long and was tough. Pork knuckle, lamb shank and game ragout were very tasty. The service was very friendly, but was responsible for too many tables. The place is very noisy.

A bit rustic / cold, otherwise great & tasty

The food was ok, but nothing special The service at the table was very friendly and willing to provide information, but the overall service was subpar: I had to clear the table early because the following guests arrived 15 minutes early Pure greed, please avoid if you can

Very very good Westphalian cuisine!! Historical timeless ambience. Great service and hospitality for over 400 years.

Very nice Westphalian-influenced restaurant near Münster city center. Delicious local specialties and local beers. Friendly service. Recommended!

Great food and quaint atmosphere

We have never experienced such terrible service! Absolutely not recommended! There were three of us, three Asian girls, and we went here to try German food! A very special waitress, a little older, came to our table. She had a very unique manner, very unfriendly, also with a certain racial touch. She first spoke to us in English. We answered in German and ordered food. And what can I say, she came back and spoke English to us again, we answered in German. And this repeated itself: when she first came to us, she spoke first in English, then in German. Afterwards we were given dishes: a spoon, two knives and forks. I then asked her if we could have a few more dishes. "Nope," she replied and just walked away. Apart from this strange, unfriendly waitress, we waited an hour for our food. What an experience! We have never experienced such rude service.

We went here on a normal working day without a reservation. It was well attended, but we were given a nice table for two people. The service was extremely friendly and the food was very good. The prices are reasonable. We can highly recommend the Gasthaus Leve.

Great restaurant. Already had dinner 3 times. An old-fashioned nice way to take a detour. Very tasteful, friendly in an authentic environment

Real German restaurant in terms of decoration and menu.

Thank you very much for the attention received by Fabián, a magnificent professional.

Nice and old restaurant with a lot of history. Food was tasty and there was quite a lot of it. Beer was also very tasty and service was nice.

Beautiful old style beer hall and restaurant in the center of Muenster. Really unique decoration, great beer selection and a good menu and a really mixed crowd

Rustic Westphalian atmosphere, delicious dishes and friendly and courteous staff.

Old, rustic restaurant, delicious food, great ambience!

Great location with delicious food, very friendly and attentive staff. Nice atmosphere. Please reserve in advance to avoid disappointment.

Food and service very good in a brewery atmosphere

Delicious food, real German dishes and large portions.

Wir (zwei Pärchen) waren an einem Samstag am späten Nachmittag/frühen Abend da. Es war nicht nur sehr gemütlich und schön urig (mit der Tendenz zu „versacken“), sondern auch ausgesprochen lecker! Die Speisekarte hat eine große Auswahl geboten und jedes unserer Gerichte war sehr geschmackvoll. Wir kommen definitiv wieder!

Belongs to Münster like St. Paul's Cathedral and the Anabaptist cages at Lamberi Church. After all, the history of Münster's oldest inn goes back to 1607. Since 1805, Münster's "local great" has been called Leve, which has long been a term for top-class Westphalian cuisine far beyond Münster's city limits. The menu includes homemade, regional and seasonal Münsterland specialties, which are traditionally freshly prepared according to old, traditional recipes. The selection ranges from hearty stews and Westphalian ham slices, buckwheat pancakes with turnip cabbage, pork loin with fried potatoes to fish and pan-fried dishes and the infamous Westphalian töttchen. Vegetarians don't have to go hungry here either. The ambience is also exceptional with Delft tiles, copper engravings, caricatures and pictures. All of this is perfectly complemented by a large selection of draft beers, wines and spirits. No wonder that the Leve inn, which was also seen in the TV series Wilsberg, is not only popular with locals. In any case, I've been in a great mood after every visit so far, which wasn't just due to the storage grain.

Great restaurant with great ambience. The restaurant is always busy, so it's better to reserve a table in advance. However, we were lucky and spontaneously got a table for six people. A nice lady took us there from the entrance area. The service is good and friendly. The food was delicious and there was something for everyone. We would visit the Altes Gasthaus Leve again and again and felt very comfortable there.

The table was set particularly festively for a birthday dinner. The guests agree that they would like to come back!

We had a particularly nice waiter. Very attentive and extremely friendly. The food was delicious.

Great place to eat Schweinehaxe and Wiener Schnitzel. Servers are very busy, but they are professional and helpful and can send a colleague to help if they don’t understand English. This restaurant has a history over 400 years, being the oldest eating establishment of Münster. It’s close to a big parking garage.

The taste of the food corresponded to that of a good government canteen. Meat portion for beef roulade max. 120 g. Price-performance ratio is more like 1 star. What a shame!

Absolute recommendation. Great ambience, great staff and the food was soooo delicious.

...a bit noisy, but the food and service were excellent....gladly again...

Indescribable. You have to experience it to be believed.

Visit in October 2023. Very good cuisine, top service

That wasn't simple, good service, it was absolute hospitality. From reception at the door to the barman to the service staff. It was a wonderful evening today, great food, everything was great!!! 5 star plus

Delicious Westphalian specialties at affordable prices. Great service, rustic atmosphere.

A very nice inn, very nice ambience, very good range of different but regional dishes, highly recommended!

What you could expect! Pork knuckle with sauerkraut...and Dortmunder Kronen!

Very tasty food, very friendly service in a nice atmosphere. Thanks

The best restaurant between Hamburg and Dortmund: authentic, “fine”, hospitable and excellent cuisine! Best in Münster! 🔝🔝🔝

The calf in the Wiener Schnitzel was already quite mature, not to say just about to die naturally due to old age, right? Maybe it was even a pig calf?

Nice traditional food and old school Germsn style decor. Very quirky and friendly waiter. Good value for money and meat eaters heaven.

The food was very very good but the restaurant was very full and the service was not the best, I would still repeat!☺️

Great food, great rooms. Addendum: Went to Münster again today and had lunch at Leve. Simply great food (bratwurst, pointed cabbage, puree). The next time we visit the cathedral we will eat it again, it was like 50 years ago at grandma's, where else can you find something like that? Only at Leve!!

nein ich war hier lange nicht mehr reservieren nicht moeglich standard ausrede „alles reserviert „ nachfrage ab/ bis wann „ wir reservieren nur 1x so vergrault man stammgaeste( seit ca 70 jahren) hoffentlich raecht sich diese arroganz

Super rustikales Restaurant mit vielen Spezialitäten Nette aufmerksame Bedienung. Danke Essen klasse Ich habe knusprige Haxe gegessen. Klasse solche Haxe bekommt man nicht überall. Meine Frau hat Schweinefilet mit Pfifferlinge gegessen auch klasse

The very friendly lady at reception gets the 5th star. The waitresses try hard but don't really care about the guests. The food is good so far and the Caesar salad has room for improvement. We were in transit.

Wir hatten einen Tisch reserviert, weil wir über 10 Personen waren. Die Bedienung war super flink und wir bekamen nahezu gleichzeitig das Essen. Die Preise waren sehr intensiv. Rosmarin-Kartoffeln mit Dip für 14 Euro ... Bandnudeln mit Sahne und Pfifferlingen 16,80 (wäre ok, wenn sie nicht nach "Nix" geschmeckt hätten. Also wer nette Atmosphäre und guten Service sucht, hier absolut richtig. Mir ist der Geschmack wichtiger;

We had dinner here last night. The restaurant was wonderful. The decor was amazing. There are lots of food choices on the menu and they do offer the menu in English as well. Food was excellent and our waitress was attentive, friendly and fun to chat with. The restaurant was busy for a Wednesday night. We would definitely eat here again.

Loud and very warm that evening. But food came quickly and was super tasty. Great ambience, nice service, great food.

Great food, great service from Lena ;). We would love to come back again! The classic on the menu, the sweinehackse, is highly recommended!

Schöne traditionelle Lokalität in der Münsteraner Altstadt mit klassischer gutbürgerlicher Küche und sehr gutem Essen und einem sehr aufmerksamen Service. Wir haben den letzten Platz draußen ergattert und waren insgesamt sehr zufrieden. Fazit: Lohnt!

Rustic historical location with excellent regional cuisine.

Beautiful old inn whose history can literally be felt in the guest room. There is also a nice selection of beers on tap. We ordered the Wiener Schnitzel from veal and the game ragout. Both dishes were very good. The prices are a little higher, yes, but definitely justified.

The food is really really tasty. Brawn and remoulade excellent and definitely homemade

Super tasty food, priced between €20 and €30. Friendly staff, fast service, which is not a given at this size. It's not for nothing that it's the local with the most reviews. Gladly again!

Nice, authentic atmosphere! Unfortunately, the food and service are mediocre and overall comparatively expensive

We spent a really nice and enjoyable evening in the Altes Gasthaus Leve: the ambience was unique, the service, food and the beer from Pinkus were excellent.

Although we had a great meal outside and left a good tip, the service inside at Altes Gasthaus Leve was downright disappointing. The sour headed waitress was rude and not hospitable at all. When it started to rain, we were put away in a musty dark hallway to finish our beer. What's wrong with German ministry? This was a very unpleasant experience and certainly not worth repeating.

For the 2nd time there...A catastrophe, so unfriendly everything was just put there and let us distribute it...Prices really expensive

Nice and rustic inn in the heart of Münster! Augustiner noble substance on tap, legendary status. Very friendly and a clear recommendation.

Traditional inn centrally in Münster. Still run by the family. Outstanding cuisine with a wide selection of dishes. Altmünster and Westphalian specialties, mostly made from regional ingredients. Rustic brewery interior. If the weather is good, there is also outdoor dining. The offer changes with a daily lunch menu as well as an afternoon and evening menu. There is the large Alter Steinweg parking garage directly opposite.

Delicious food, good beer, friendly people in service. Great!

A real Münster restaurant. Very tasty food. A condition that makes you believe that she enjoys doing her job. That makes for a really nice evening.

Nice tavern vibe with delicious food too!! The celery schnitzel was very creative!

Unfortunately it has become far too rare. A great German cuisine. Something for everyone! The service alone deserves 5 stars. I sat inside by the window with 2 regulars. I was the man with the crutch. Thank you again.

Nice, rustic restaurant in Münster. Something for everyone!

It was nice, tasty and despite the great demand and the hustle and bustle we were happy to be guests and felt welcome.

A quaint, original restaurant in Münster, the food is delicious and the conditions are consistently friendly and polite.

Nice old German restaurant, good hearty German food.

On Tuesday shortly before 3 p.m. I was there with a friend. We were greeted very nicely by the friendly and neat waitress. She pointed out to us that lunch was served until 3 p.m. and handed us the separate menu. The food was really very good, made with love, just like grandma used to make. Very well-kept drinks were served there, including a very interesting beer punch. The interior is beautifully designed. The toilets are really very clean. Compared to many restaurants at the market or at the cathedral, for example, the prices really weren't high! All in all, all I can say is that when I visit the cathedral, I only go to the Leve inn This is set as a highlight!

Traditionelles gutbürgerliches Essen aus frischen Zutaten. Der Kellner war eine type für sich, mit dessen Art man umgehen muß, aber er war aufmerksam und freundlich.

Een restaurant met typische Duitse gerechten. Ook voldoende vegetarisch aanbod dat bovendien net wat 'anders dan standaard' is. De schnitzel van knolselderij met puree is verrukkelijk! Mijn partner kom als vleeseter ook heel goed terecht (keuzestress, vanwege te veel lekkere opties). Het interieur maakt een bezoek aan dit restaurant ook de moeite waard. Reserveren is meestal nodig, maar je kunt op de bonnefooi geluk hebben. Ik ben er nu tweemaal geweest.

Very nice service. Delicious schnitzels

Rigtig god mad, klassiske tyske retter. Meget velsmagende. God betjening ved bordene uden for, dog sad man lidt tæt på vejkanten.

Friendly, traditional, large selection of dishes and delicious food - what more could you want from a good inn!! Thanks !

If you're in the city center, you have to go there. If you are not in the city center, you should go to the city center of Münster and stop off there. ‼️‼️‼️‼️

Went there on a Tuesday evening around 6 p.m. and it was packed. When the weather was nice, we only waited 20 minutes outside with a beer for two free seats. The staff is very nice and attentive. The food is good, but also a bit more expensive, as LEVE is a traditional establishment and tourists go there in large numbers every day. Staff really quick and attentive. A dignified atmosphere peppered with hunting rooms and numerous antiques. We found it rustic and homely. The food was good and the price was a little higher.

Rustic atmosphere, perfect for tourists who like things traditional and home-style. The service is fast, attentive, friendly and (which is rare these days): quick-witted. There are no students employed here for the service, just people from the field and you can tell.

Fantastic restaurant, great beer and food. Book before coming very popular place

Great food with good service in a nice atmosphere - we spontaneously went there again. Reservation recommended!

Wirklich sehr zu empfehlen! Traditionell, echte Küche halt! Es hat uns sehr gut geschmeckt. Der Service war sehr aufmerksam, die Chefin hatte alles im Griff. Für unsere Männertour im Oktober werde ich auf jeden Fall einen Tisch reservieren........

Delicious food... a light breeze under the umbrellas... staff attentive... again and again

The large Viennese schnitzel is delicious with jaeger sauce.

Nice quaint restaurant, the food was very tasty and the service was quick and friendly.

We have felt very comfortable and always welcome here for many years. Super friendly staff, great food, the ambience is unique. Stay as you are ❤️

Clocky old inn... waiter simply great... food plain... delicious... you should make a reservation...

If you are in Münster, you should definitely eat here and make a reservation in advance. Anyone who can make beef roulades better than my grandma gets 5 stars plus.

My food wasn't quite to my liking but everyone else was very happy. The service was very good. Very friendly.

Historic and very cozy restaurant in Münster. Here you get very good German cuisine, good beer and attentive service. It was a nice meal with the family.
