Die Butterhanne in Goslar

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

Very nice staff. Food very good Top

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.

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.

An absolute no-go! I just wanted to use the toilet and was rudely asked for 1 euro. When I politely asked to make an exception because it was my birthday, I received a cheeky response. The employee even made fun of me by saying it was his birthday tomorrow. I have rarely experienced something so rude and disrespectful! Service and friendliness seem to be completely foreign concepts here. When you look at the staff and the way they are treated here, I really wonder how all the positive reviews came about - they can hardly be genuine. Service and friendliness? None! I'll definitely never go here again.

Went there at Christmas time and luckily had a reservation. Cozy atmosphere rustic recess. Delicious food and good beer especially their own beer Gose Hell was great. The next day we were there for breakfast, a delicious buffet with a nice selection of everything you need to start the day.

This is a very cozy and attractive restaurant. The menu offers a wide range of freshly prepared and delicious dishes. The drinks offer includes beer specialties. Delicious. The service staff is friendly and competent. Here you can spend a relaxed and sophisticated time.

The food was great. At a time when there was still a Christmas market in front of the door and almost all the places inside were full, we quickly found a comfortable place. Drinks and food still came quickly due to the situation. Braised roast for under 20€ and a student meat with perfect fried potatoes (slightly caramelized onion, not burnt with a delicious remoulade sauce) 14€ We both had a 1/2 liter of beer and another schnapps to drink. Everything under 50€! Hasn’t the VAT been adjusted here?😉 Ambience not 5 stars because our tea light wasn't lit and 4 stars service because my Williams Christ was knocked over on the tray and I then got a new but unfortunately warm glass (it felt like it had just come out of the dishwasher). But that's complaining at a high level 😉 We'll be back, that's for sure. Breakfast sounds very interesting too. Try it out.

I ordered a Coke Zero and, as far as I can tell, I received a Pepsi (Zero/Light) instead. A good server should point out when a restaurant doesn't offer Coke Zero, rather than simply serve another drink. About the food: I ordered a “Viennese style” schnitzel, but decided on the chicken version that was available to choose from on the menu. Instead I got a fried chicken breast that had nothing to do with a schnitzel. I don't even want to start talking about the vegetable side dish.

We went to Butterhanne Goslar today and had a great meal. Therefore we give 5/5 stars. There are generous portions that really fill everyone up and the food tastes great!! (My recommendations are goulash soup and the Angus burger.) The service staff were quick and super nice and took every request into account. Despite the influx of visitors, the toilets were super clean and the atmosphere of the restaurant was unique. Since the Christmas market season is in full swing, we later ate a crusty roast at the Butterhanne stand! Super tasty, juicy with cabbage and sweet mustard - a real treat! We'll definitely be back!

The Butterhanne is always worth a visit, whether for breakfast or lunch, always great. Employees always friendly and helpful. Another 5 stars 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 on top of that.

Tolles altes Goslarer Lokal, sehr freundliche aufmerksame Bedienung, leckere Brötchen zum Frühstück, frischer Kaffee, Herz was willst Du mehr.

Tasty, fast, great service, the atmosphere is like a diner. Our dog was allowed to come along and was served before us. Thank you and all the best to you

Rustic restaurant with friendly staff and delicious food

We were actually happy to get a place, as it is very difficult to get places in the city during the Christmas season, when the Christmas market is open! We ordered Wiener Schnitzel and roast beef. Braised beef was definitely better than the Wienerschnitzel, which was a bit greasier. Very good beer, despite being busy, efficient, fast and very nice service and price-performance ratios are okay.

Always worth a visit. Very nice staff and a great breakfast buffet

A cozy traditional restaurant in the middle of Goslar's old town. Nice ambience, friendly service and tasty food and drinks at normal prices. We will be happy to come back the next time we visit Goslar.

The staff is super friendly. We came three times in two days (2 x breakfast, 1 x dinner) and got a table even without reservations. We were first made to wait briefly at the counter and were given the first table that became available. This is what good service looks like, thank you. The next time we visit Goslar, we will make a reservation there.

Had dinner here with the family today and it was great as always. The ribs were very tender, the fried potatoes were well seasoned and the dips were delicious. The tarte flambée was very soft and well-filled, but unfortunately there was a bit more Rocular on it and half of it would have been enough. There was nothing to complain about with the children's meals, they were very happy. Would eat there again at any time.

Cozy restaurant, very attentive and friendly staff. Varied menu and good price-performance ratio.

Sauce over-salt and fried potatoes, some burnt and too greasy, that works better even if there is a lot to do! What a shame! ☹️ we won't be coming back.

The food was tasty, but not gluten-free as ordered. The service staff was informed in detail about the need for gluten-free food. A steak was ordered and a salad was to be brought instead of the fries, as the fries are probably fried in the same fat as the breaded schnitzels. So far so good, but there were two large, breaded onion rings on the plate, which of course are not gluten-free. When this was pointed out to the waitress, there wasn't even a verbal apology. What also marred our visit was a rather loud neighboring table. Nothing was said about this by the service, even though the service staff had problems understanding everything straight away when we took our order. The restaurant itself is really nice, but somehow there was something wrong with it that evening.

The two of us ate there on a Sunday around 2 p.m. The main courses that we ordered came after a short time and were very tasty. Afterwards, the two of us ordered an XL cream puff as dessert. Since it cost around €5, we didn't expect the portion to be too big, but what we got was stunning. A real XL portion that four people could easily have eaten as a dessert. Tastes great too! In total we paid around €45 for 2 main courses, 3 coffees, a large bottle of water and dessert. Really great! We haven't eaten so cheaply and deliciously in a long time. When we asked one of the nice waiters how it could be that the food is still so cheap, he said: "We have a great boss. It's more important to him that people come to us again and again and enjoy it ripping people off with high prices." A great place!

I tried a delicious goulash with wild mushrooms in the restaurant. The combination of tender meat and aromatic mushrooms was excellent. What is particularly worth mentioning is the quick service of the dishes, which allowed us to enjoy the food to the fullest. The cozy atmosphere of the restaurant also helps you immediately feel at home. I can only recommend this restaurant!

Cream puffs are huge but unfortunately with cheap spray cream...

The schnitzels are very tasty. The staff is friendly and the prices are fair.

It's quaint and the food is very good. Since the schnitzels can also be ordered with 440g, you basically roll out

Breakfast table is good. Dinner wasn't that great. Had schnitzel.

I would rename the restaurant “Fritteusenhanne”. Unfortunately my cell phone was in the car, the "venison bratwurst" was a frozen product. The fries were over it. That garlic baguette was simply soaked in oil. The starter and main course came at the same time. When I commented on this, the answer was that the chef was very busy. Then hire a second person, or someone who can handle the stress in the kitchen.

An exceptionally beautiful and cozy cafe! Friendly, very courteous service, a great selection and everything was very tasty and cheap too! I would do it again and again.

The food was actually quite tasty. However, my schnitzel and potatoes were a little greasy. The schnitzel was also a little too thick for my taste. He liked my husband's butter spaetzle. However, all in all it was a bit too little. The atmosphere could be a little nicer. Something could be changed there. The restaurant was well attended. The service staff were very helpful.

Very nice rustic atmosphere. You should reserve a table for the evening

Food was quite ok. However, they were sitting in the hall upstairs. Very loud and uncomfortable there. At the next table there was a larger group celebrating their party and making speeches. Very uncomfortable if you sit right next to it, maybe it would be better to close the hall for the party. Service was very attentive and nice.

We were there three times in one week and tested everything from breakfast to dinner. We were completely satisfied every time! The service is great, the food is really great and the atmosphere is very nice. We'll definitely be back!

Spontaneous breakfast with your dog is possible. Taps also got a bowl of water. The breakfast was also great

Was also there for a steak dinner last year. This time I was there for a steak dinner with a friend. My rump steak was good, unfortunately my friend had “several” tendons. Side dishes and sauce were very good. I can also recommend the “all-you-can-eat” breakfast buffet, which I have enjoyed several times. Very friendly and competent service as well as service and food quickly.

Shortly before Corona we went to the Christmas market in Goslar and Werner then had dinner at Butterhanne... My wife and I were so happy that we wanted to go there again... Unfortunately they completely changed the menu and that Food wasn't as great as it used to be... It's a shame...

Food was very tasty! We used our voucher booklet!

Been here for the first time. We found it super tasty and everyone was very child-friendly! Thank you. Price-performance ratio for 3 children and 2 adults, unbeatable!

Today we spontaneously went to Butterhanne and had a dog with us. The waitress was super friendly and immediately brought water for the dog. Food and drinks arrived quickly and were very tasty. There is also a rustic ambience and a relaxed atmosphere despite the full house. I'd love to come back.

Delicious food in a beautiful, historical atmosphere. You just have to take a look at the beautiful exterior facade of the inn with its centuries-old half-timbered structure! The service is very quick and attentive. We ate outside and when we went to the (clean) toilets, it felt like there was an employee on every corner who was there for the guests.

Very tasty food, large portions, super friendly staff. We had a dog with us and a water bowl was brought straight away. We were really satisfied.

Was here for the first time on Sunday evening. I ordered a steak - medium well - unfortunately it was anything but that, it was almost bloody. If you offer steak, the cooking levels must also work. Unfortunately, the waitress was just annoyed by my complaint, which didn't exactly make for a good mood. There were no spoons for the iced chocolate, we had to ask first, then at least there was a small coffee spoon for a glass twice as tall. In another dish the potatoes were rock hard. I don't have to go there again. However, one waiter, a tall young man, was very nice and friendly.

Unfortunately, schnitzels are not recommended.

An excellent restaurant with very friendly staff. A visit to Goslar is a must. 👍

I can only recommend it. Very tasty and large portions.

Spontaneously got a table again 😃 Very friendly service. Food and drinks came quickly. Unfortunately my onion schnitzel was in a pool of grease, but it still tasted very good 👍 with the espresso afterwards there was even a glass of water + biscuit! We'll definitely be back

For 17.60 I imagined the best burger I've ever eaten. The burger was mediocre with a lot of fries. I also ordered mayo with it, otherwise the food would have been very dry!

One of our absolute favorite restaurants. In summer you can sit outside under the market church and in cooler times inside. Reservations are highly recommended if you want to sit inside. The food, coffee and service are simply great. We were "forgotten" when we wanted to pay last time, but we were able to do that quickly and easily at the counter :-)

On Tuesday at the best lunch time I managed to get a free table without booking in advance. Very friendly staff, the food was great. I've never had such delicious onion schnitzel.

Great!!! Became aware of the legend of Butterhanne through a ride on the tourist train. Get a table on time. Great local. Good food, great service. Great interior. Nice situation outside. A must in Goslar

The Butterhanne has been one of our fixed destinations on every holiday for many years when it comes to culinary delights! This time we were there for lunch and were happy to get a seat despite the full house. As always, the service was great and very friendly! Despite the full tables, no one in the team shows any signs of stress and looks after every guest in a very friendly manner! The dishes we chose were incredibly delicious again this time 🤩👌👌👌 So if you are in Goslar or the surrounding area and want to eat delicious food, Butterhanne is the perfect place for you 🙂 We look forward to your next visit!

We were there with the current Goslar/Harz voucher book and got a main course and an ice cream sundae for free. 😊👍🏻🍽🍨 The service was very friendly. The wait for the food wasn't long. The restaurant is quite rustic and therefore has a special charm. The rump steak was medium, perfectly grilled to perfection. The schnitzels were very well fried, not too thin and still juicy, the sauce was very good. The fries and sweet potato fries were good too. Overall very tasty. 😋👍🏻 The chocolate ice cream had some ice crystals on it, but was still okay. The walnut ice cream was very good, as was the espresso. 🍨☕️ CONCLUSION: We have each been to Butterhanne many times. However, my experiences in recent years have been of somewhat variable quality. 🤷🏻‍♂️ However, we were very satisfied with this visit and would love to do it again. 👍🏻

Good food, very friendly service!

The restaurant is very nice and gives you a friendly feeling. At the same time, the reception by the waiters is equally beautiful and friendly. The food looks very good and is also very tasty, the portions are enough to fill you up (we were hungry when we arrived). I also recommend the traditional "Windbeutel" dessert.

We were there for the breakfast buffet. Very good selection of different types of cheese, ham, sausage, quark, jams. Side dishes such as cucumbers, sausage salad, tomatoes. Fresh scrambled eggs and crispy bacon ham. Selection of bread and rolls. Coffee, tea and orange juice. Very nice reception. The tasteful furnishings as well as friendly and attentive service made the morning a very pleasant visit to the Butterhanne. We'd love to come back.

Even on a Thursday in mid-October it is advisable to book a table. We were there early and managed to get a spot for two people. Wild bratwurst and goulash are highly recommended. We had previously taken the mini train ride through the town and knew the history of its namesake, very interesting.

Regular food for reasonable money. Maybe a little boring.

It's a quaint shop. The staff is very friendly. Even if it's a bit intimidating when you're there for the first time and are greeted by several people right at the entrance. The food is good, the price/performance ratio is perfectly fine. They are good portions. The cream puff is awesome in two sizes L and XL.. definitely try it

I've been to the "Butterhanne" several times, but I never knew how big this restaurant was. Very nice service, careful and quick. My schnitzel could have been hotter, but the fried potatoes were great. We'll be back.

We keep coming back, that says it all. 😉

Always happy Rustic cosiness and good cuisine... Reservation recommended

Friendly and competent team, delicious and hearty food and a rustic, cozy atmosphere. We always feel welcome, especially enjoy the blueberry sour cream schnitzel, the Angus burger, the Barbarossa beer and are amazed at these mega cream puffs 😃.

Everything is absolutely top!!!

Cozy restaurant with nice staff and delicious food and drinks. Happy to come back 😊

Delicious cake and top service. Highly recommended.

Very nice atmosphere. Waiters on the ball and open to requests for changes. This is how I imagine hospitality. Greetings also to the kitchen. Food was of very good quality. We'll definitely come back.

It was a wonderful evening with great service and very good food. Many thanks to the whole Buttehanne team. Highly recommended.

We love the XL cream puff. This time serving was not as nice as 8 years ago. Lack of chocolate syrup and the cherry was not warm.

Very nice restaurant. The food is rich and delicious. The service was first class and our little one 🐶 was also allowed in. 👍👍👍👍

We treated ourselves to the cream puffs and were overwhelmed by the size. XL is really only suitable for very hungry guests or 2 people. The quality was very good and the price is also very fair. We felt very comfortable and enjoyed the friendly service. We'd love to come back again.

Went here just based on the reviews and didn't regret it. Delicious breakfast buffet at an unbeatable price. Attentive employees. The only drawback was that there was no cereal, yogurt or fruit.

This time we stopped at Butterhanne for lunch during our visit to Goslar. Very cozy interior, warm atmosphere. You immediately felt at home and were noticed and welcomed by the staff. The food was good, but still has room for improvement.

Maybe we had a bad day. 5 out of 8 meals were faulty. Goulash cold, steak not done as ordered, changed side dishes not taken into account. Everything was corrected, an apology was made and it tasted good, but we have had much better experiences in other, comparable restaurants. The air was also quite stale.

Highly recommended, the food was delivered quickly and was delicious. The restaurant was well attended. The only drawback that I didn't like so much was an unclean toilet. But this is also because some men cannot correctly estimate the distance to the urinal.

We were there once in the evening and once in the morning for breakfast. First of all, the ambience; That just fits perfectly with the rustic character of Goslar. The staff also have a similar touch of humor, it's fun here. The dinner was really great. Home-style, hearty, that's what we wanted and we were very happy. The breakfast buffet was small but nice. If you're expecting fancy specialties here, you'll be disappointed - otherwise you'll get a solid breakfast that'll get you in the mood for a day of hiking for little money. A small drawback is the volume. Due to the open restaurant and the high number of visitors, it can sometimes be very loud. But that can hardly be prevented and is more than justifiable, hence the deserved full five stars.

Great food, friendly service, even with a full house

Had a Jägerschnitzel with fresh champions according to the menu Schnitzel and French fries were great ONLY THE CHAMPIONS WERE NOT FRESH BUT JUST CANned ones. 😭🙄With the Wiener Schnitzel, the pan-fried vegetables were simply and TOUCHING COLD AND. MUSSY The staff is super friendly

As a local resident, we used the restaurant in a central location. All 6 of us enjoyed the food very much. Vegetarian dishes were also great and the portions were large. The service was friendly, including to our children, and also found solutions to other problems warmly and decisively.

The food was super tasty. Home cooking at its best. The waiters were very happy, despite the many guests. We will go there again on my next visit.

Tip top! Great old German food in a great old German town! Must-visit destination!!!

The food was great. Good quality meat. The service could have been more attentive.
