Die Butterhanne in Goslar

The buffet selection is disappointing. No yogurt. No selection of local fruit. The coffee is practically tasteless. Many items are presented in the smallest plastic containers. We are here for a weekend to explore Goslar. This, however, is unfortunately disappointing.

The size of the menus was satisfying. The starters were also very tasty. The staff was also very attentive and polite. Easily recommended

The food is very good, from home-style fare to steak, everything is there. Even vegetarian judges. Everything is delicious and well-prepared. The service is first-class. And the abbynte makes you truly happy.

Food, service, atmosphere, everything was great!!

Mega delicious flammkuchen corners, very exciting blueberry cream schnitzel and very friendly service

Nettes Personal. Immer freundlich. Essen ist lecker. Portionen mehr als ausreichend. Kommen sehr gern wieder. Vielleicht sogar zeitnah.

Basically, yes, but the kitchen closes early. There was nothing left to eat after eight...

Very, very tasty food, inconspicuous and small from the outside. Very spacious inside, very friendly staff

Stopped here in Goslar for dinner with a whole team for the event weekend on Mother's Day 2025. The service was great, a waiting time was announced - but then it wasn't necessary. Great, varied menu, something for every taste. The cold drinks and beer were also absolutely delicious. We had a great evening and would love to come back - really recommended.

The staff there is really super nice and always has a little fun in store. The portions are large and the food is delicious. We had 6 different dishes, only the burger wasn't really good...everything else was really highly recommended! Unfortunately there is no longer a play area.

Friends are right, a visit was a very positive experience, I would definitely do it again

We were there with a larger group, arrived a little later than reserved, everything was problem-free and super nice!

All in all quite okay. Unfortunately, we had apparently not very motivated service, which is of course stupid at the beginning. After the sticky children's chair was cleaned again, we ordered a blueberry sour cream schnitzel with fries and game goulash with rösti and red cabbage. There was also an Altenauer lemonade and a Barbarossa beer (both highly recommended). The schnitzel was delicious, the sauce was relatively tasteless, luckily there were whole blueberries in it. Fries very good, unfortunately no mayo or ketchup without asking. There was also a jar of carrot strips, I have no idea why. Dry, in our opinion it shouldn't have been. Goulash: the meat was very hard, the sauce also had no kick. Overall it was tasty, but it lacked a kick everywhere. Red cabbage good, hash browns good. The presentation wasn't nice. Everything was simply thrown on the plate (see picture of the goulash). Very nice there! Enough space outside and nice and quaint inside. Thanks to a voucher, a main course was free. That went smoothly.

We were just there... The service downstairs was just as unfriendly as yesterday. Yesterday people even rolled their eyes when we spontaneously asked if there was anything free for 8 people. It wasn't. Okay, understandable on a Friday without a reservation. When we wanted to go to the table we had ordered today, we were told we had not reserved for today, but for tomorrow. And not for 8, but for 10 people? I didn't know we had a new addition? We were then taken upstairs. It was really cold. Then my husband and our friend ordered goulash soup. It was warmed up, not hot, not cold. Our main course arrived quickly. My tarte flambée was cold. We objected to him. Without discussion there was a completely new one. Then I was eating and my son urgently needed to be changed. My husband wanted to get this done. A changing mat is only available for women. My husband was not allowed to enter the toilet because it was a women's toilet. Then I left my new food and changed him. When I asked if they could pack my food because I had the fax thickness, they said: we don't pack it for hygiene reasons but I can bring you aluminum foil and you can pack it yourself... The only reason why I remained so calm was because I was stunned. The waiter who served us was nice. The rest.... Unbelievable

The food was tasty but the spare ribs I had were tough and not well seasoned, they were very dry but they served well and were friendly and within a short time many people could have moved inside due to the strong wind

Super nice and great service, food was great.

Fast, friendly service and very tasty food.

We went to the breakfast buffet with 7 people! Simply world class! And at this price! No big frills but a down-to-earth breakfast. The buffet was still stocked 10 minutes before the end! No matter whether warm rolls, fresh eggs or sausage/cheese platters

We came spontaneously from Thuringia and say great! Even our polar bear WiFi was well served! Clear recommendation: great tea, wonderful ambience and great food 🍱

I had dinner here with my girlfriend last night and we were so excited about the ambience, the delicious food and the super friendly service that we pre-ordered for breakfast this morning! Yesterday I had a vegetarian burger with fries and my girlfriend had green tagliatelle with vegetables. Super tasty and large portions at very fair prices! The breakfast buffet was also really nicely presented and sufficient. For us as vegetarians there was plenty of choice. But for meat eaters it is probably the absolute dream. There was everything from bacon, meatballs to fried sausages. Scrambled eggs, herb quark, jams, Nutella, various mueslis,... Simply recommended!!! Dogs (at the neighboring table) are also treated kindly. A bowl of water and a treat were immediately brought out. We'll definitely be happy to come back when we go on holiday in the Harz again!

Typical tourist restaurant, but with very friendly service. Our wild boar sausages tasted like normal pork sausages and weren't worth €16.90.

Very cool, very nice and really great food. Great, can only be recommended.

Very tasty, friendly. Prices like everywhere else... Not cheap but within reason

Very nice atmosphere, service was great. Food is rather mediocre. Carrot salad was just a few strips of grated carrots without dressing, bone dry! Mushroom sauce tasted bland and not homemade. We recommend the tarte flambée wedges with garlic sauce.

Yes, nice service, the food and drinks came very quickly.

Good restaurant, I had a vegetable pan with cheese on top. Plus an alcohol-free wheat. Perfect for me. My wife had goulash soup, which was great too! Simply a great location, nothing to complain about!

Nice restaurant and nice, attentive service. Gladly again !!

Very cozy atmosphere and very good cuisine. There is something for everyone. Absolutely recommended.

According to the homepage, the restaurant is open until 10:00 p.m. We kindly asked for two drinks at 9:35 p.m., which we would have liked to have drunk outside during a walk. Unfortunately, we were told it was closing time. Not good service!

Great restaurant/café in the middle of the old town...great fast service, staff very friendly. Rustic, cozy atmosphere highly recommended

The food is good, but it's not quite warm in the front area. But that doesn't really detract from the whole thing.

It was super tasty. We ate there and can only recommend it.

The Butterhanne in Goslar offers a really delicious and inexpensive breakfast. The selection is varied and the quality of the food is excellent. The atmosphere is cozy and the service is friendly. A perfect place to start the day relaxed. Highly recommended!

Really tasty, very friendly staff 😃👍

Delicious food in the middle of Goslar. Service was very friendly and the whole thing in a cozy old building from the later Middle Ages. We would eat here again. In general, a really beautiful old German half-timbered town.

We went for lunch and made a reservation for the next day. Great summer terrace and the guest room is also wonderful. We'd love to come back.

Since then prices have gone through the roof. As a family, we no longer went out to eat in restaurants. But then we discovered this restaurant: we like to eat here because the quality and prices are right and we always like to pay tips here. So to all families who don't earn above average: you can still go out to eat here with a clear conscience. Very good quality, staff very nice, best location

A very good breakfast in a great atmosphere. The service was attentive without being intrusive. I left very satisfied.

The restaurant is certainly designed primarily for tourists to visit. But that doesn't change the fact that we were very satisfied after our visit here. We sat upstairs and our waiter gave his all in terms of charm and friendliness. The price and quality of the food were okay and we would definitely be happy to come back. Highly recommended!

Stopped in the charming German town of Goslar for a quick break on the drive back to the UK. My meal at Die Butterhanne started with a delightful bowl of Pfifferlingcremesuppe - chanterelle cream soup with fresh chanterelles and a side of baguette. A warming, earthy dish that perfectly set the tone for the journey ahead! The second course was wild boar sausages, served with hearty fried potatoes. The rich, savoury sausages paired beautifully with the crispy potatoes, making for a satisfying and memorable stop.

Very tasty restaurant, again and again

We went for dinner a week ago. First of all...we had extremely friendly and competent service. Thank you so much, Petra! Unfortunately, we weren't that impressed with the food. The salad wasn't really dressed, the mushrooms were rather bland and watery, and the garlic sauce came from a plastic bottle. A cozy atmosphere.

The food was excellent, especially the camembert which was served in a very generous portion. The service was extremely friendly and attentive. Absolutely recommended!

We went there for the breakfast buffet. Everything was very well presented and we enjoyed it. The scrambled eggs were simply unseasoned, and unfortunately, there was no salt or pepper on the table. Despite asking, they weren't brought to us. Despite everything, the service was very friendly. We'll be back.

We were there for lunch and enjoyed very generous portions (schnitzel and brawn) at reasonable prices, the service staff was very friendly and accommodating, "sitting outside" on a spring day was the perfect rounding off...

Amazing food and staff were very friendly and welcoming. I had the rouladen which was fantastic and so filling! Many people sitting outside in the sun but we chose to be indoors as it was quite hot in the sun for us Aussies! Lovely place and highly recommend.

Centrally located right on the market square. You can also sit outside when the weather is nice. Of course also with regional game specialties. Cozy interior and very nice and attentive staff. I really liked it, I'll be back.

I recently dined at their restaurant and had a steak and fries. The steak was really excellent – ​​cooked to medium rare and very tasty. The fries were also great. What disappointed me, however, was the small, very uncluttered carrot salad that was served as a side dish. I'm used to having a full-fledged side salad with the steak. Unfortunately that was missing here. My friend had brawn with fried potatoes. The brawn was also very good, but here too there was only this small carrot salad, which was not convincing in terms of taste. The fried potatoes were a real no-go: cut way too thick, totally soft and not at all crispy - just as you would expect from good fried potatoes. This was really disappointing and I absolutely cannot recommend it. Overall, the food was okay, but because of the weak side dishes and the unsuccessful fried potatoes, I only give it 3 out of 5 stars.

Ich war kürzlich in ihren Restaurant essen und hatte ein Steak mit Pommes. Das Steak war wirklich hervorragend – auf den Punkt medium gebraten und sehr lecker. Auch die Pommes waren super. Was mich jedoch enttäuscht hat, war der kleine, sehr übersichtliche Karottensalat, der als Beilage serviert wurde. Ich bin es gewohnt, dass es zum Steak einen vollwertigen Beilagensalat gibt. Das hat hier leider gefehlt. Meine Freundin hatte Sülze mit Bratkartoffeln. Die Sülze war ebenfalls sehr gut, aber auch hier gab es nur diesen kleinen Karottensalat, der geschmacklich nicht überzeugt hat. Ein echtes No-Go waren die Bratkartoffeln: viel zu dick geschnitten, total weich und überhaupt nicht knusprig – so, wie man es von guten Bratkartoffeln erwartet. Das war wirklich enttäuschend und kann ich absolut nicht empfehlen. Insgesamt war das Essen okay, aber wegen der schwachen Beilagen und den misslungenen Bratkartoffeln gibt es für mich nur 3 von 5 Sternen.

Les boissons : Flûte de Prosecco, bières à la banane, Pils, Weisse, et Dunkel. Wildschweinbratwurst 2 stück mit ordentlich Bratkartoffeln und Senf. (Saucisse de sanglier, 2 pièces avec beaucoup de pommes de terre sautées et moutarde). Steigerpfanne "Glück Arf" zartes Rotwildgulasch Walddpilze Apfelrotkraut und Petersilienkartoffeln. ("Glück Arf" tendre goulasch de cerf rouge, champignons sauvages, chou rouge et pommes de terre persillées). Rinderroulade mmit Speck Zwiebeln Gurke dazu Apfelrotkraut und Petersilienkartoffeln. (Roulade de bœuf aux lardons, oignons, concombre, chou rouge et pommes de terre persillées). Chili-Cheese Schnitzel mit Chili-CheesesoBe und Pommes frites. (Schnitzel au chili et au fromage avec sauce chili et frites). Apfelstrudel mit Vanilleeis (Strudel aux pommes et glace vanille). Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte (Gâteau Forêt-Noire). Irish Coffee. Cafés servis avec leur verre d’eau. Bien située au centre de la ville, proche de la place du marché avec ses cloches et personnages défilants et juste en face de l’église Saint-Marc. Cadre pittoresque en boiseries pour cette taverne populaire, simple à l'ancienne avec une grande carte de plats régionaux et des tables à l’extérieur côté rue. Attention une marche à l’entrée. Pour le stationnement se sera un peu compliqué. Les horaires élargis vous permettent de pouvoir y prendre les petits-déjeuners, déjeuners ou dîners. Bar complet. Etablissement très propre malgré le passage nombreux de la clientèle. Beaucoup de choix dans la restauration. Vous y trouverez des salades, pâtes, burgers, escalopes et autres plats de gibiers du Harz, peu de poissons ainsi que du végétalien. Sans omettre le sucré avec énormes choux à la crème fraîche, des gaufres, des gâteaux et des tartes dans diverses formules. Strudel et coupes glacées au rendez-vous. Possibilités d’organisations de mariages, anniversaires ou toutes autres célébrations festives. Un conseil, demandez à être installé à l’étage loin des groupes de touristes qui investissent la grande salle du bas qui devient très bruyante ! A l’étage pour pourrez profiter à côté d’une petite salle « suite » d’un beau décor dans une atmosphère plus calme. Avec au centre de la pièce un grand vide qui donne en visuel sur la salle du bas. Pas de nappe, serviette en papier. Les assaisonnements sont en sachets individuels. Un serveur bilingue avec l’anglais. Le service sera un peu long car le restaurant est remplit, c’est un endroit stratégique dans la visite de la ville. Outre les monuments de nombreux magasins sont installés de toutes parts. Aucune salade d’accompagnement proposé comme d’habitude en Allemagne. Regret sur le cerf qui est un peu trop salé. L’établissement bien que touristique reste cependant l’un des mieux à préférer par rapport à d’autres ne serais-ce que pour le choix des plats.

The food was good, although I would have expected a chicken schnitzel to be breaded like a normal schnitzel. It tasted good. Portions were OK. The Gose light was very tasty and is definitely recommended. The service was very nice.

The dark Gose beer is really delicious! We sat outside in the bright sunshine at the beginning of March, it was wonderful! Unfortunately, the goulash from the lunch menu was a bit tough. The desserts served (waffles, cream puffs) looked very good. Nice service.

Nice, rustic inn...down-to-earth cuisine...we enjoyed it here. Price performance fits...friendly service.

Very good solid food and delicious beer. I had the Steigerpfanne with wonderfully tender red deer goulash, apple red cabbage and potatoes and a Barbarossa beer. Both highly recommended, even if some of the red cabbage was quite sour. The furnishings and ambience are a successful mix of rustic and modern. I would like to come back.

Reservation worked wonderfully, birthday table was beautifully set, the service was outstanding and big compliments to the kitchen👍it was a time of coming and going to this restaurant and we would love to come back again, thank you very much and keep it up!

Very good. Good food with a few specialties. Unfortunately very busy.

Das Ambiente ist nett, jedoch sind die Bedienungen überfordert, trotz nur halb gefülltem Lokal. Als das Essen kam, war es nur lauwarm. Wir mussten es zurückgeben und nochmals erwärmen lassen.

We ate here for lunch. Very tasty and well taken care of. Pleasant service.

The food was a bit fatty and heavily seasoned, and the meat was a bit tough. The service was very good and friendly. There was little waiting time, even though there were many guests there. Unfortunately we didn't like the location either. We sat upstairs and it didn't seem like a "restaurant". The lighting was way too bright and it looked very uncomfortable.

We had rarely eaten such good Wiener Schnitzel. It was absolutely the best decision to stop there. Great class!

Had a very tasty meal. Friendly service.

Absolute recommendation! Super delicious food and great service

We were here for dinner. There weren't even croquettes. The schnitzel was very very greasy, the mushroom sauce was cold and the fries were still half frozen

Great restaurant, delicious food, very nice service and fair prices. If possible, always make a reservation. We'll be back!!!

Delicious. Friendly service. And the biggest cream puff dessert I've ever tasted!

Not recommended as a café at all. Coffee was okay, but the cake, as was clearly visible, was from a frozen package. I just tried it, it was still ice cold. This applied to both varieties that we ordered. A later look at the display confirmed the impression. Let's hope it was at least Coppenrath... why I didn't say anything to the waitress? I didn't want her to have to interpret it in a positive way, as she can't do anything about it. I've never rated a restaurant/café before, at least not negatively. But here we were very annoyed.

Everything is really right here. Our dog was also greeted very friendly

Delicious food, friendly staff and great ambience

We ate well and cheaply and were served very friendly...we really liked it...

You should definitely stop here when visiting Goslar. Absolutely recommended.

We have been here many times. The service is always friendly, even when everything is really full. In a good mood and attentive. The food is always tasty and the price/performance ratio is more than satisfactory. 5 stars are still not enough

Very nice inn with nice staff. We were given a table on the first floor, which is connected to the ground floor by a gallery. Even though the restaurant was very busy, you could sit there in peace and have a good chat. The food was very tasty and the portions were big enough. The sanitary rooms are a bit cramped but modern and clean.

The restaurant was recommended to us by the hotel. We were 3 men and only had vegetarian dishes. The salad with goat cheese and baked potato was good, the Caesar salad was ok (especially too much dressing) and the spaetzle was unfortunately bad (tasteless and bland, only with mozzarella cheese). Portions were large. A sexist statement from an older service worker (female) also did not make the visit a positive experience. So no recommendation.

QUALITY LOCAL WITH A GOOD BALANCED MENU WITH SOLID PRICES. TODAY ON SCHNITZEL DAY I HAD A SCHNITZEL WITH CHEESE CHILLIS SAUCE. THAT WAS SO 😋 DELICIOUS AND I CAN ONLY RECOMMEND IT. WE WISH THE ENTIRE TEAM ALL THE BEST.

Old half-timbered house with charm. Nice courteous service. Delicious food. No matter whether warm lunch dishes, waffles or cake. If you're in Goslar you shouldn't miss THIS.

The service was very good and efficiënt. Food was alright.

All in all, good value for money and a nice atmosphere.

Very good service. Sandra was very attentive, friendly, quick and extremely accommodating. The food was very tasty and the portions are very generous. The price-performance ratio is right

We spontaneously went to the Butterhanne with our small poodle. We can recommend the Latte Machiato with hazelnut flavor. So for the main course we had two schnitzels. They were also super tasty, portioned large enough and served with delicious fries and a bowl of salad. We can only warmly recommend a visit to Butterhanne to anyone who likes to eat good home-cooked food in a rustic atmosphere. Another big plus point...Everyone is incredibly fond of animals, our Holly got lots of treats and a bowl of water.

Historical place on the Goslar market square. The food here is good and hearty, and the quality of the food prepared is good to very good. Since young people like to stay here, reservations are recommended.

A large, cozy restaurant with cold and warm dishes. The chicken burger is highly recommended. The meat was perfect and buttery soft. For dessert there was the cream puff with vanilla ice cream, chocolate sauce and cream. Delicious. I can only absolutely recommend the restaurant.

We came by spontaneously on Saturday evening and got a table. The food was very tasty and the price/performance ratio was 100% right for me. Service also great. Ambiance is of course a matter of taste, great for me.

Have been to Butterhanne a few times for breakfast. The atmosphere is really cozy and the staff is friendly. The breakfast was buffet style plus coffee. Price-performance is okay. The only thing missing from the buffet are cucumbers and tomatoes and possibly also yoghurt with fruit (can also be from a can). Otherwise you don't want to complain at a high level, you'll get full.

Very nice restaurant with great service. Were there on schnitzel day and it was very tasty

Always happy, it's very tasty 😋 😋 😋 with you

The employees are super nice and friendly. They recommended to my husband which size cream puff would fit him better. The latte, currywurst and sweet potato fries are very delicious and the environment is super pleasant.

Very nice staff. Food very good Top

Simply a rustic, cozy brewery, we always enjoy coming there when we are nearby. The staff is super friendly and very quick, even in hectic times.

Rustic, nice service, good for locals, but more for tourists I'm not a fan of new breakfast buffets. I found the breakfast on the table earlier better, the salmon was included, it was more relaxed, especially because everything is quite narrow and the buffet area is very small. I miss fresh fruit or the salmon that can now be ordered for 5.50. The price for the buffet is good, it would be nicer if the other breakfast were still possible

Super nice staff and even though the hut was full they managed to free up space for 4 people. And the food served was more than excellent.

nice restaurant good prices and great service

A really, really great restaurant. We had reserved a table for New Year's Eve before our vacation and it worked out great. The service staff were super friendly and attentive. The food was really delicious and the beer and schnapps were also tasty. We'd love to come back🤗

Simply a great restaurant with very friendly service and good food. Highly recommended.

Service was nice and quick, prices were good, braised beef and apple strudel were delicious 👍

Die Butterhanne, located in Goslar’s historic market square, is renowned for its traditional Harz region cuisine and warm hospitality. Diners can enjoy hearty dishes such as the flavorful meat roll with pickle and the rich deer meat goulash. The blueberry schnitzel offers a unique twist, and the generous desserts are perfect for sharing. Complementing the meals is a selection of quality beers, all served by friendly and attentive staff, ensuring a memorable dining experience. The restaurant’s name, “Die Butterhanne,” pays homage to a legendary figure from Goslar’s folklore. The “Butterhanne” is depicted in the intricate wood carvings of the Brusttuch, a historic building constructed between 1521 and 1526. This carving portrays a maid churning butter with one hand while mischievously lifting her skirt with the other, a gesture believed to mock the devil, symbolizing defiance and humor.  Established in 1870, the Brusttuch has operated as a hotel and restaurant, offering guests a medieval ambiance enriched by its unique decor. Today, Die Butterhanne continues this tradition, providing visitors with an authentic taste of Goslar’s culinary and cultural heritage. 

Fast service... very busy... very tasty food

Cozy restaurant, very friendly service, and I enjoyed a delicious game goulash. My friends were also very happy.

Quaint restaurant with German cuisine. Very tasty game dishes, delicious giant cream puffs and Black Forest cake. Brunch is on offer, but not a spectacular event as the breakfast buffet is manageable. The Steiger pan is our favorite. Table booking is recommended.

Reservations by phone for Christmas worked successfully. The restaurant looks really great and very homey. The service is very good. They bring one to the dining table and are very attentive. For example, a service employee noticed that my sauce was running out but I still had plenty of schnitzel on my plate. I was then offered to bring more sauce. The food tastes very tasty, the portion is completely sufficient and the price is justified. In any case, I can only recommend anyone who is in Goslar.

So... food was ok, but nothing more. Portions are sufficiently large. And now the reason for two stars and one star for service. I was there on December 22nd. Eating here with my family as we were on a city trip to Goslar. My youngest daughter wanted her schnitzel with fries without vegetables or salad. My daughter is old enough and can decide for herself whether she wants something or not, but the service was very pushy and very invasive. She tried to force the salad on my daughter with pseudo-funny comments, which made my daughter very uncomfortable. Even when the dishes were brought, the plate was put down with a stupid side note. I see this behavior as a massive problem because it can backfire at best. If in my daughter's place there had been a girl with an eating disorder who had been afraid to eat something in public for a long time and then came across such a service, all the progress the girl had made up to that point would have been immediate too bad... If a customer wants something, it will be done without stupid comments and, above all, a request that doesn't cost the restaurant anything. We had a great stay in Goslar, unfortunately this restaurant was nothing.
