Cafe Moritz in Lichtenfels

Very delicious, creative breakfast creations. My fish marie was fantastic: scrambled eggs with shrimp, smoked salmon, cream, vegetable sticks, etc. The Moritz Classic was also good, with ham.

I agree with some of the reviews – These are prices you'd find in big cities like Vienna, but with significantly larger portions! The price could also have reflected a bit more spirit in the service – A smile costs nothing!!! All in all, nice, but not worth the price! And especially not with the poor quality of baked goods... before 10 a.m.... when are they fresh then? Two breakfasts + cappuccinos, more than €40 – Something's not right!

A super nice, sunny spot where you can enjoy a nice breakfast. The food was delicious.

I only knew the previous café, as I moved away and don't come here that often anymore. It's been decades since I last visited. This morning, my mother invited me to breakfast there because I'm currently in the country for a few days – and I was really impressed by the modernization! I was initially very impressed by the tent in front of the café, which created a rain-protected yet airy and bright outdoor area – with cozy fur rugs on all the chairs so you don't get a cold bottom outside. 😊 Behind the entrance door, I was greeted by a fairly modern, cozy café, decorated predominantly in pleasant shades of green. Although the café was busy at the time (only a small table for two next to us was still free), the waiter came very quickly and took our order. We were informed that unfortunately, the coffee would take a moment (the employee had to clean something or something, I've forgotten the reason) and were very politely apologized in advance. We didn't have to wait long for both the coffee and the food to arrive – I've waited much longer at other cafes – without any information or apology! 😅 The courteous treatment of the guests here was really very pleasant. The dishes on the other tables were very attractively presented; just looking at them made you really hungry. 🥰 I wasn't very hungry, though, so I ordered the avocado bread with fried eggs, while my mother ordered tiramisu. My crispy toasted avocado bread with fried eggs was very attractively presented and tasted absolutely delicious! I even had a taste of my mother's tiramisu, which was also delicious. At the other tables, a truly substantial breakfast was often served, tastefully arranged on two levels (on a kind of modern tiered stand). A full breakfast like that would definitely have been too much for me today! 😅 In my opinion, the prices here are more than justified for what you get. The quality, quantity, ambiance, and even the service all impressed me. Oh yes! I also visited the (women's) restrooms – the flagship of any restaurant. They are also very tastefully designed, with soft music playing in the background and a pleasant aroma. But above all, everything was really neat and clean, both the area near the sinks and the stalls and toilet bowls themselves (I specifically looked in all three stalls and also in more hidden corners). I suspect the men's restrooms aren't much different. I felt truly comfortable and welcome in this café today, and if I'm ever back in LIF, I'll definitely come back! 🫶🥰

I've been here for breakfast every now and then in the past, and it was always quite nice, and everything was perfect. Unfortunately, the portion sizes have left a lot to be desired lately, and the prices are also completely outrageous for Lichtenfels. The avocado bread costs €16.90!! People..., please!! The rest of the menu isn't any better. I'm really willing to pay a reasonable and appropriate price for quality and good food. We once went to Moritz with the whole family for breakfast, and that day the service seemed to be off to a very bad start; it was very unfriendly (I can only agree with some of the reviews). All in all..., everyone has to decide for themselves.

Very tasty. We went there several times during our vacation. Highly recommended. We'd be happy to go again.

Our wedding cake from Café Moritz in Münsingen was an absolute delight—very delicious and consistently praised by our guests. The advice was competent and friendly, and the staff was super nice. The delivery was also completely hassle-free. Thank you so much for the great service!

Super nice, large, varied selection. Prices are a bit high. The waitresses are sometimes a bit unmotivated, and it takes a while to get served. Otherwise, it's top-notch.

A perfect place for a relaxed Sunday brunch.👌

I love going there – the food is always a surprise, in terms of what creativity and delicious combinations are being offered this time. Always worth a treat.

We spontaneously got a table for two for breakfast. Prices are reasonable. Service is prompt. They even offer a warm pistachio croissant 😍

Very tasty, large portions and very friendly staff.

Extremely unfriendly. Children aren't welcome either. The price/performance ratio isn't right. We like to spend money on good food, and often do... but this was a disappointment. A shame.

Daily specials are excellent. Good value for money.

It's a shame that "Moritz" is only open in the evenings on special occasions, but I can certainly understand the decision. That doesn't change the fact that the breakfast, cakes, hot meals, and the changing lunch specials are top-notch, and "Moritz" remains my home away from home...

I went there with my girlfriend, who had invited me. The prices were pretty steep. We opted for the large breakfast for two, which was very filling. There was a bit of everything. There weren't enough bread and rolls, but you could order more. Only the vegetable sticks weren't fresh; they were from the day before. The radish was completely soggy, and the carrots and peppers were already dried out. Hence the deduction and not a full star rating.

Beautifully located cafe. Unfortunately, we weren't offered a table outside 50 minutes before closing time. Too bad, so we moved on.

I would like to share my experience at Café Moritz for anyone who is considering hosting a private party there. We have made reservations for a larger family celebration (Easter breakfast) for 72 people, including two babies. Unfortunately, the experience was very disappointing in several respects: • All children were billed as adults, with the exception of the two babies - although the website advertises reduced prices for children (up to 4 years old is even free). • The so-called “gourmet breakfast” at our private event was not offered for 49.90 euros per person as publicly advertised, but 15 euros more expensive per person - with the argument that more staff were needed for closed events. • The egg dish, which according to the menu is calculated for two people, was only served for 6 to 8 people in total, but was still charged for two people. This means: significantly less performance, but full price – a clear financial advantage for the operator. • We were given a cost estimate in advance which did not make it clear that drinks were not included. Since we were guided by the description of the gourmet breakfast, the surprise was great - and so was the annoyance. Overall, it was an expensive and disappointing experience for us that we cannot recommend. Anyone who relies on the information on the website must expect unpleasant surprises when billing.

Delicious apple strudel, beautiful location, everything was great

great atmosphere, great service, outstanding food and very dog ​​friendly too! There is oat and soy milk, but otherwise the vegan/vegetarian options are unfortunately very limited.

Highly recommended, Service was very friendly, upon request the salad was served lactose-free. Cozy, also open today on April 18, 2025 (Good Friday).

I like it very much 👍 Feel free to come over for a coffee 😊

Nice café on the market square in Lichtenfels. Pleasant atmosphere, beautifully bright, very quiet inside, you can have a good chat. The breakfast tasted very good and was plentiful. The only point of criticism is that the plates are really very full and you have difficulty using the plate as a place to put bread or rolls. The service is very friendly and accommodating. If you are in Lichtenfels, definitely worth a visit. It's better to make reservations at least on weekends.

Nice atmosphere. Very good food. Bit high prices. Impertinence of service. As a guest, I don't want to be told how to put down the coffee filter. The rest was fine.

Super tasty and high quality food. A little expensive but good with a nice, cozy atmosphere.

delicious breakfast, gladly again

Very nice cafe, good breakfast. Be sure to reserve in advance!

Dear Café Moritz team, We were in your café today after our funeral service and we felt very comfortable. Good food and drink and very nice staff, we would love to come back. Thank you very much for that Vogt Jutta

I found the service rather unfriendly. Of course, this does not apply to all employees. Quite cramped, not child-friendly and a bit too expensive for my taste. However, in summer you can sit out on the market square and enjoy a coffee or cocktail. Quite okay.

Well...it was actually the Christmas market...

Very busy on Sunday lunchtime but fast service, delicious coffee, the selection of cakes was good. Centrally located at the Christmas market.

A very nice coffee with very nice service staff. Very good coffee and cake selection

We love Café Moritz. We have enjoyed coming here for years. It is very beautiful on site, no matter what time of year you go there and what is on offer is also very good and tasty. The only thing I have to complain about now is the price, I also feel like the food has become less. Now you think twice about whether you go there or not.

Super tasty and large portions. Fast and friendly service staff... Clean toilets... good, central location, right in the city center. Highly recommended. :-)

I was really surprised at how cozy it became, here you can enjoy your cappuccino in peace and eat a piece of cake! Highly recommended 😉

Very nice service 👍 but the price for a schnitzel with fried potatoes is just under €20 🫣 you'll lose your hunger

Great location with friendly staff

A restaurant with absolutely exorbitant prices

A surprisingly diverse and imaginative menu, great dishes - although they also have their price - and unobtrusive, friendly service. Really recommended.

Nice place to have coffee. The apple pie was great.

Coffee okay. Cake worked, but too expensive.

Ambience is quite nice, service good 👍 Unfortunately, the food was a bit disappointing, but for the price you could expect a little more freshness. The plates (breakfast) were prepared (probably a day before), which was clearly visible in the vegetables. Unfortunately, the salt sticks were already put into the spreads during preparation, so that they were completely soggy. In addition, we (4 people) didn't like the spread (mango curry and lemon pepper) at all -> but of course that's absolutely a matter of taste. Unfortunately, the cappuccino wasn't as good as we had hoped because it was so hot that it had to be left standing for a while. And last but not least, I would like to mention the price for the still water (carafe): €6.50 for 1 liter (it was probably just tap water, because nothing else was shown on the menu) —> absolutely no go! All in all, I probably wouldn't go there a second time.

The breakfast is amazing 👏 I think whatever you order, you won't regret it 😉

Very nice cafe with friendly employees. Cake and poor knight were very tasty. Gladly again. 😀

We only drank coffee and it was very good.

Hier bekommt zum zum etwas hochpreisigen Frühstück mit Minisemmeln nicht mal eine Tasse Kaffee dazu. Wenn man dann sich einen Kaffee extra bestellt ist man schnell über 15.- € pro Frühstück!

Super friendly staff, also very dog ​​friendly. Coffee, cake and food were great. Thanks. ☺️👍❤️

Great restaurant and cafe, whether delicious breakfast, lunch or snacks, always cheap offers. Very accommodating and friendly staff!

Very nice café with delicious cakes.Drank the most expensive cappuccino for 5.90 euros.I'm just wondering where this is going with the prices.Staff very nice.

We were in Lichtenfels as tourists. Great and varied menu with offers that you can't get everywhere. The quality of the food on offer is good to very good, but the prices are definitely high. We were a bit surprised because there are other places or cities that are associated with higher prices. Since I only have to rate the food, service and ambience, I give it just 4 stars.

People still really cook here. Without bags and flavor enhancers!!! Everything fresh and prepared with love. Price/performance ratio great.

Delicious breakfast and nice service

Very good food, very good service. Prices a bit high.

We had a very good breakfast here. The Moritz offers a varied selection. We felt very comfortable here in a great atmosphere with very friendly and competent service.

We only had a cold drink. The cleared next table was sprayed with a spray bottle and wiped down. The wind probably caused the atomizer spray to get on my sunglasses that were lying on our table. Unfortunately, it wasn't until the evening that I realized that the entire layer had dissolved when I took one glass. That could only have come from that spray (whatever was in there). Unfortunately, since we were just passing through, I couldn't complain there anymore.

I only drank iced chocolate, it was delicious and the service was very friendly and quick

Beginnen wir mit dem Positiven. Den Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeitern. Ein ganz dickes Lob an diese (und natürlich auch ein Trinkgeld). Die Begriffe Freundlichkeit, Höflichkeit, Beflissenheit sind hier keine Worte sondern werden gelebt. Von der Aufnahme der Bestellung bis zum Servieren. Immer ein Lächeln, kein Augenrollen bei einem extra Wunsch. Wirklich schön. Wo Licht ist, ist auch Schatten. Der beginnt bei der Bestuhlung. Wir saßen im Freien unter dem Vordach. Hier war es so eng, dass man die Gäste am Nebentisch bitten musste zur Seite zu rücken wenn man selbst aufstehen musste. (Und nein. Ich habe keine Adipositas) Weiter geht es mit dem Rauchen. Auch wenn es im Freien ist könnte der Inhaber vielleicht doch mal darüber nachdenken, einen Bereich für Nichtraucher zu markieren. Wenn stinkende Nebelschwaden von Nachbartischen über das eigene Essen wabern, hat das Cafe schnell den Charme einer Pennerkneipe. Über das Essen herrschten Zweigeteilte Meinungen an unserem Tisch. Während die einen meinten die Schnitzel erinnern an alte Schuhsohlen war die Salatfraktion ganz zufrieden. Eventuell ist dies aber auch von der Tagesform des Küchenpersonals abhängig. Zu guter Letzt noch ein Wort zu den Preisen. Gesalzen. Das trifft es am Besten. Leider steht die Qualität der Speisen im Gegensatz zum Preis. Hier sollte eine Anpassung nach unten vorgenommen werden. Wahrscheinlich arbeitet der Inhaber nach dem Motto: So lange der Laden läuft wird abkassiert. Aber wie lange noch? P.S. Eine Alternative ist das Weinhaus "Alter Fritz". Auch nicht billig. Aber von weit besserer Essensqualität.

Rarely eaten so well! Huge portions well prepared. And the taste is a dream! Price wise it's not low budget - but the food is worth the price. The service was TOP. We were there with our two small children and grandmother and we all felt very well served. Many thanks to the whole team - everything from the food to the service was great

Cool live music and very nice staff. Very pleasant there. I will come again. The food there is also great.

Excessive prices. After a mishap happened, the staff left us with spilled coffee and broken glass and was extremely unfriendly when we collected the money. Apart from high chairs and a baby mini milk drink, it is more than not suitable for children.

Super delicious drinks and dishes! Totally nice team, friendly and competent. The boss lends a hand and is super friendly and personable. Had a really nice day at Café Moritz!

Were there for breakfast with two adults and two children. Very friendly service. Everything was very nicely prepared and delicious. However, it is very expensive. Unfortunately, price-performance wasn't quite right for us.

The prices are almost like those in Switzerland

Visited often in the past. Unfortunately, the price-performance ratio is no longer right for me at all. I can't ignore the argument about calculations and increased prices because the other restaurants don't charge €27 for a burger with sweet potato fries. It's a shame.

Visited this cafe today, as is often the case. We wanted to make ourselves comfortable outside, chose a place and were about to sit down when a seemingly very “experienced waitress” (employee) ran towards us and asked us if we had reserved. We said no and were, in our opinion, rudely directed to a sign above the entrance door that you should first contact the staff before taking a seat! If the sign is so important to the operators, it should perhaps be placed so that it can be seen immediately when entering the outdoor area. Yes, sorry, we've been here several times and just picked a place if we didn't have a reservation. Also on this day we observed that many other guests also came and simply sat outside! One couple even changed tables three times without any contact from or to the staff. It's a shame that such a great atmosphere and such good food that you treat yourself to every now and then are negatively influenced by such behavior from an employee. The young ladies who served us were friendly. This experience can probably also be attributed to the unfortunately existing “skilled labor shortage”. A PITY.

The atmosphere at the market was nice. The quality of the breakfast was okay, but I wasn't impressed, especially with the portion size. I also found prices for Lichtenfels to be a bit too high. We all found the service to be quite rude and not at all warm. I wouldn't go to Café Moritz again.

Bee sting and cappuccino delicious. Prices very urban.

Traditional filter coffee was served at the table 👍 unfortunately little selection of cakes

We found the café by chance on Google and wanted to try it out. I can only recommend the café to everyone. We were super surprised by the huge selection of different breakfasts. I was able to eat a complete vegan breakfast here. With very tasty hot chocolate with oat milk. And there was a completely vegan breakfast. Everything was freshly prepared and tasted excellent. Only healthy and vegan ingredients. The muesli was also very nicely prepared and left nothing to be desired. The price was also very good. The conditions were also very fast and very friendly. I can only recommend this cafe to everyone. Always my pleasure.

Great cafe, excellent food, extremely friendly service. I recommend the avocado bread and the golden milk.

I’m writing this for the manager: teach your waiters to communicate politely with customers. We ordered drinks and then the waitress told us that we had better go to another cafe! Thank you, we had a great meal in another cafe! I've been to your cafe many times before, but now never again.

You can have a delicious breakfast here... definitely worth a visit... and the filter coffee is hand-brewed by Dinzler... so delicious 😋 😋 😋 😋

When a football game is more important than serving your guests.

Very good food and drinks. Not off the shelf but also different. Be sure to try the warm sandwiches! Fast service and a nice boss who knows how to do it! Every now and then there is live music upstairs or outside. It's very nice to sit, partly covered, right on the market square. Breakfast is very good and almost always fully booked. So be sure to reserve! It is worth it .. The quality of the rolls could still be worked on and the pricing of the delicious cocktails is also a mystery to me. But the ambience makes up for it. People like to sit here and enjoy..... Addendum: Unfortunately the prices have now gone way up... ;-( Addendum II: Prices have been increased again. It is now significantly cheaper in comparable restaurants in Munich, Garmisch or Zell am See. The question arises as to “why”? Visitors are also decreasing... for reasons. Too bad ;-(

We went dancing on a Saturday evening. The DJ played great music and it was great. Any time.

no sensible communication, grossly overpriced

So great. Thank you for the enjoyable breakfast. This café actually becomes a shoe 😉.

Not bad, but very dirty furniture.

Cozy and very friendly staff ☺️

Great ambience.. BUT.. exorbitant prices. For a breakfast plate that is now really paltry compared to before, 15 euros plus 5.50 for a hot chocolate? I pay over 20 euros here for the fact that I'm still hungry afterwards.

It was our first time at Café Moritz and we were thoroughly satisfied. Delicious, varied breakfast. Thanks to the different combinations, everyone should be able to find what they are looking for. The cappuccino was also very tasty!

Breakfast for 2 people, enough for 4 Very tasty, recommended

Very nice café, well furnished, delicious exclusive dishes, nice staff, there is only one point deducted for the prices, you can't afford a visit like this every day

Café Moritz, right next to the historic town hall in the heart of Lichtenfels, is for me the best café here in the city. Beautiful ambience, large outdoor area with a view of the town hall and market square, friendly and competent staff, super delicious and freshly prepared breakfast/lunch with ingredients from the region. Even a demanding reservation that had to be changed twice within 15 minutes is treated politely and respectfully. I always enjoy coming back and look forward to the next time.

We always feel comfortable and welcome here.

Nice outdoor area with beer garden.

Very nice cafe with good food and drinks. Very friendly and courteous service.

A cozy café with very friendly service and excellent coffee from Dinzler 👍🏻

Super delicious food, everything was great

Had breakfast, nicely prepared, too little butter, no hot drink, had to be ordered separately. Price/performance, well. Otherwise ok.

Very good quality food on offer, except for the toasted bread with egg dishes. This is not a pleasure. The price level is relatively high, at least that's how I feel. But all in all we can recommend Café Moritz!!

Munich-Schwabing??? You might think so when you see the juicy PRICES here. But actually it is ONLY the market square in Lichtenfels. €8.20 for 0.2l lemonade & 1 cup of coffee Mind you, there was only Add 1 packet of sugar. ☝🏻👀 I was too embarrassed to ask. Sugar probably costs another €0.50 (I skipped that) 😅👎🏼 If you eat here you should have a big wallet! 👉🏼 €16.40 for gnocci with wild garlic 😂 Next door is the noise from the construction site At least it's free! The service also had no enthusiasm and placed the drinks correctly listlessly on the shaky table. NEVER AGAIN. Better go around the corner and get a Kaffee2Go at Fuchs-Korn. 😉 This is pathetic and extortionate!!!

I'm in rehab in Bad Staffelstein and discovered this coffee by chance on the Internet. Excellent service, super nice service and the best coffee ☕️ and cake🍰.

Good food but the service needs help. Ordered 5 dishes and they forgot two of them. When three of us had finished eating, the 4th plate arrived and the 5th wasnt available anymore. Two stars because the food was ok, but the service….

Very friendly conditions, delicious food and nice atmosphere.

I really enjoy coming to Café Moritz, everything tastes great, is beautifully presented, friendly service and a great ambience.

It was very busy V Opener Sunday ethe service was very friendly When you ordered you said that it would take a while (but it was quick) I think it's great that she said so. You're happy to wait

Relaxed atmosphere, friendly service, any time again 😉

Everything was great and delicious.

the prices have risen quite high. Having to pay €7 for a waffle with Nutella is more than excessive. Update: today the waffle costs €10!!! That's a 50% price increase within 10 months. This is usury. Bread 18€ - for that you get a sauerbraten! I definitely won't come here again.
