Die Kantine in Sangerhausen

The dishes are tasty, not too spicy. The restaurant is cozy and the vaulted cellar is interesting.

When eleven half-starved travelers enter a restaurant with expectations of “everything is delicious and quick, please,” it is a bit of a challenge for the kitchen. The “Herrenkrug” in Sangerhausen? Not only did she master it, she was immediately acknowledged with applause and a full stomach. Let's start with the classic: schnitzel in all variations - with cream mushrooms and fries, plain fried, with mushrooms and croquettes. Unanimous verdict: Super tasty. Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, plus service that was attentive and pleasantly present - without any rush, but never difficult to find. Special praise goes to the steak au four. It wasn't on the menu, but it was prepared anyway - including Altenburger Worcestershire sauce, which appeared on the table as if by magic without a word. Anyone who understands service like this understands guests. The other dishes were also convincing: butter-tender ox cheeks, delicious red cabbage, perfectly balanced dumplings - all plentiful and very tasty. The Harz game with apple cabbage was finely composed, with a sauce that delighted without being heavy on the stomach. That's how it has to be when heart and craft work together. And then came dessert: The ice cream sundae, which was not on the menu but was served without hesitation, with four flavors of ice cream, cream and eggnog was not only large, but - as we later found out - also homemade. Not a finished product from the freezer, but honest ice cream with taste and style. You can taste such attention to detail. Conclusion: Everything is just right in the “Herrenkrug” – food, service, atmosphere. Friendly service, a kitchen with skill and heart and the willingness to fulfill even special requests with a smile. We felt completely comfortable and left Sangerhausen full, satisfied and a little bit in love after our visit. Will we come back? No question. The table is basically already reserved.

I was hungry so 3⭐ for food. When the sun is right it may look good, but in the evening a ⭐ is too much for the ambience.

Traveling with eleven people and two VW buses is a bit like organizing a traveling circus - only with fewer animals and more luggage. Our expectations of the hotel were correspondingly high: it should be uncomplicated, clean, friendly and - very importantly - have enough parking space. And lo and behold: The “Bierstübl” delivered! We booked four double and three single rooms for two nights, including breakfast. The rooms are functionally furnished, clean, tidy and pleasantly simple. What was particularly pleasing was that the mattresses were consistently good – no back pain, no complaining at breakfast. The bathrooms? Somewhat more compact, but it has everything you need. If you don't want to do yoga synchronously, there is enough space. A real plus for group travelers with large vehicles: free parking spaces are available directly at the house - including a parking card and barrier remote control. That gives the Bulli group plus points. No annoying searching, no fiddling with parking tickets - just arrive and park like a pro. The breakfast was also a highlight: rich, balanced, fresh - and on the second morning we were even allowed to choose whether we wanted eggs, fried eggs, scrambled eggs or omelettes. Of course, all variants were lovingly prepared and made you want to start the day. Even the coffee was good - and that's almost worth an award in the hotel sector. The only downside: the attached restaurant was unfortunately fully booked. We would have liked to eat there, but the popularity barometer punishes anyone who reserves too late. Which, by the way, made us even more curious about the kitchen - next time we'll be quicker on the phone. We would particularly like to highlight the staff: consistently friendly, helpful and in a good mood - even with eleven people with individual questions, special requests and a bit of breakfast chaos. You felt welcome – not dismissed. Our conclusion: A down-to-earth, well-run hotel with heart, charm and well-functioning organization. If the path takes us back to Sangerhausen – and that is not ruled out – we already know: We will be back. And then with a table reservation.

Best restaurant in the area, a wide range of fish, everything freshly prepared, great atmosphere, nice innkeepers.
