Dornspachhaus in Zittau

A very good and reasonably priced inn in the center of Zittau. A small tunnel leads directly into the cozy courtyard, a perfect place to look forward to warmer days. The rustic ambiance with its vaulted ceilings is a perfect fit. Attentive, courteous staff and excellent regional and Bohemian cuisine make you want to return. Unfortunately, there are few restaurants these days that offer such a good overall package.

Winteröffnungszeiten von 11:00 bis 14:00 ! Wir waren um 13:25 vor Ort und wurden harsch abgewiesen -- " wir sind zu spät, um zu essen " . Wir sind zurück in unsere Ferienwohnung und ich habe was leckers gekocht . Die Gastronomie soll pleite gehen, wenn sie zu faul ist .Ich habe kein Mitleid. Ich brauche nun keine Gastronomie mehr . Bei Corona haben wir auch " überlebt " ohne Kneipen.

Everything perfect Food was very, very tasty. Everything from our own production. (2023) We were back at the Dornspachhaus after two years. What can I say, the food was very tasty again. (2025) We will definitely come back to Zittau to the Dornspachhaus.

We stopped there spontaneously. A small guest room, but very cozy and rustic. The food was really delicious. Service was friendly and quick.

Highly recommended. Top food at still reasonable prices. Very nice atmosphere.

Very quaint restaurant. Visit recommended.

We ate there again today and we would love to come back. Cozy atmosphere, nice service, very tasty food. Highly recommended.

The loins can be highly recommended. Likewise the baked cheese hearts with cranberries. Friendly and courteous service!

We spontaneously ate here today and it was really great - both the food and the service from the friendly waitress. Absolutely recommended :)

Our visit to the Dornspachhaus was simply perfect. Very nice staff, beautiful atmosphere with delicious food. I have rarely experienced such a child-friendly and child-loving restaurant!

A real insider tip, we have been coming to Zittau for years, but we have never visited this restaurant. Very nice atmosphere, nice service and really very good Bohemian & regional cuisine.. I had really freshly cooked potatoes in the restaurant for a long time.. the food was very tasty. Prices are rather higher, but for the quality it's totally fine. Definitely worth a visit...

Wonderful restaurant, excellent cuisine in a historic atmosphere, it's better to reserve in advance

A stop that left nothing to be desired. A very tasty meal from a diverse menu. Extra requests were in no way a problem. The extremely friendly service rounded off the evening. The cozy atmosphere made you feel good. We have fond memories of the stop, thanks to the culinary calendar. Reservations are strongly recommended.

My mom ate here more than 20 years ago and was always full of praise - I was there in January 2025 and also very, very satisfied!!! , except the knives - the goods are not sharp...

Very cozy restaurant with very tasty regional dishes. Our dachshund was also welcome. A lovely evening, many thanks to the team! Price/performance fits. You can pay in cash or with EC, Master, Visa. Reservation is essential because it is always full.

Great ambience. Nice service and above all delicious food.

A beautiful inn👍🏻 great service, the food was great and large portions. The service is very child-friendly.

What can you say, everything is perfect. Very good food. Very nice service. Very impressive portions. Very nice atmosphere. Keep it up.

It was perfect, every dish was carefully prepared, tasteful, the service was always friendly and attentive, overall everything was definitely worth more than what it cost.

A very good restaurant in a historic house in the middle of Zittau. Friendly and courteous staff, freshly prepared food. Should be part of every Zittau visit. Reservation recommended.

You immediately feel at home: cozy furnishings, a great selection of down-to-earth dishes and particularly friendly service. The farmer's bratwurst including the side dishes was perfect, the braised rib was a little too dry, but the Stupperle with the delicious sauce and the remaining side dishes made up for it. The Silesian poppy seed pies as dessert were a great surprise. In short: highly recommended!

Great cuisine, courteous and quick service, cozy atmosphere!

Food was ok, reordering was no problem

A really great place, with delicious food and a great atmosphere.

Highly recommended, super cozy inside and there is also an outdoor area that is heated.

It's a really quaint old inn. You feel like you're in the Middle Ages. Very nice staff and really great food. Highly recommended! You feel really comfortable. We are in Zittau for another 2 days and definitely want to go there again. 👍👍👍

Hearty home cooking prepared with great art. Delicious beer on tap. What more could you want? On top of that, there is friendly and attentive service here. We'd love to come back!

Bicycle tour Görlitz - Zittau - Görlitz. Hunger in Zittau. We were welcome with dogs, and while my battery was being charged at the Zittau town hall, we recharged with culinary delights. Very pleasant service, very tasty food. Prices are completely OK in my opinion. I recommend without any reservations.

Wonderful and warm atmosphere. Delicious beer, tasty food. Absolutely worth a visit!

Nice atmosphere, food tasted very good. Service was nice and quick.

We were completely satisfied. A very nice waiter responded to our wishes, the food was delicious and the service was very good.

Great, very, very recommendable. Bohemian, Silesian cuisine.

Nice traditional restaurant with good regional food.

Great rustic inn with very tasty and authentic food from Upper Lusatia and Bohemia. Ambience and service top.

Wonderful. Delicious food at comparatively affordable prices with very friendly staff. Always happy. Thank you.

This restaurant is highly rated, and so we thought that this would be a great place to have a mid afternoon meal. The courtyard is a very nice feature, and diners can either eat out here or inside. The waitresses were mostly very friendly, although one server did seem a bit put out when she came out with our bill, only to have to return inside to get the card machine. The schnitzel that my friends ordered was delicious. However, I ordered the 3 small steaks dish, and unfortunately, the beef steak and the pork were both very dry. Other than these slight negative comments, I would recommend the restaurant for its ambience and generally good service.

The quality and taste of our food was excellent. The service was excellent, people that's how good gastronomy works. Therefore 5 stars from us. Thank you for allowing us to eat here.

Good, rich food in a very cozy atmosphere. Good beer selection. The service was very friendly and loved children. There were toys and food for the little ones.

Great restaurant with super friendly service.

We were very enthusiastic about everything, great service, delicious food and the inner courtyard was incredibly cozy!

Were there for dinner today with a dog. The first thing you notice is this flair, this beautiful, unique ambience. Then a very nice and courteous waitress! First of all, water for the four-legged friend. Very good. A wide selection of food, something for every taste .Our choice, schnitzel with chanterelles and Jäger style. Both with fried potatoes. Was served after a short time by our nice waitress. Everything was hot and freshly prepared. The taste was great, there was nothing to complain about! Afterwards a coffee that lives up to its name. Our conclusion. Food that is worth every cent. Ambience that cannot be beaten and the i point is a friendly service that the owner can be proud of. We will definitely stop by again on our next visit to Zittau. Thank you for visiting us on site.

Beautiful courtyard! Attentive and friendly service! All dishes were perfectly prepared. Fair price/performance ratio. Anytime again, thank you very much!

Wunderschöner Innenhof! Aufmerksame und sympathische Bedienung! Alle Gerichte auf den Punkt hervorragend zubereitet. Faires Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis. Jederzeit wieder, Vielen Dank!

What a great restaurant and a great ambience. Great food, very friendly staff. Despite the cold weather, we were able to eat lunch outside thanks to the heaters. Finally a becherovka. What more could you want? Would love to come back.

I celebrated my birthday in a small group (12P). The atmosphere is quaint and cozy. The staff is very friendly and attentive. The food is delicious - I have an extra ⭐️ for the kitchen. Price - performance 👍 An all-round successful evening for us!

Very nice historic inn with delicious food, super friendly service and a great ambience. We were there twice. It's very popular to book in advance.

Food was top, nice atmosphere in the courtyard and also inside. Kitchen open until 9 p.m. non-stop.

Very nice cozy courtyard. We ate deliciously 😊

You can also sit in the courtyard on cool days and evenings. Very friendly staff and good regional dishes.

A beautiful restaurant, with very friendly staff and the food was simply delicious. You have to stop by there when you're in town.

The inn is a wonderful stopover on a stroll through the city. The staff was very friendly and the restaurant was very clean. The food was very rich and tasty. We liked it.

Very quaint, beautiful restaurant, great menu, friendly and fast service, delicious food. Simply recommended

We stayed longer than planned. Very nice atmosphere, comfortable chairs, very attentive service and very tasty food. Barrel soda with different flavors, homemade lemonades. All very pleasant.

Sehr zu empfehlen. Sehr schönes Ambiente, aufmerksame Bedienung und sehr leckeres Essen. Besonders zu empfehlen sind die Limonaden und Fassbrausen.

We can only recommend food, Inexpensive, tasty food.

St. John's pan was very tasty. I can only recommend it. Thanks.

Very nice service, the waiter spoke Polish 😄 the food was great, there are local dishes typical of historic Silesia, Upper Lusatia and the Czech Republic. I recommend delicate matias or Silesian Heaven 👌😋 interesting atmosphere of an old inn.

Unfortunately no card payment is possible at the ice cream shop.

We were delighted to dine in this extraordinary place. Surprisingly the waiter speaks very good Polish what’s more provides great customer service. The food is delicious. We had a great opportunity to taste local dishes. Surely this place is worth visiting!

We go on short vacations in the Zittau Mountains once or twice a year. Every time the path leads us to the rustic inn. The food is delicious, plentiful and has something for every taste. The staff are super friendly, attentive, and always have a smile on their faces. We can only recommend the inn and thank the staff for the lovely little break. We'll definitely be back. Thanks.

Great courtyard with cozy separate rooms and bubbling fountains. The brawn, thanks to the recommendation from the nice waitress, was phenomenal (maybe a bit too much remoulade on top) and the fact that you could try the pelmeni as a starter was great. Thanks for the stay.

Beautiful restaurant with a wonderful courtyard. The dishes look pretty good, but you can clearly see that the ingredients used are of average quality. Unfortunately, the taste component is not convincing.

+ Very nice service, there were no problems in communication + great location and wonderful atmosphere, peace and quiet, greenery - everything fits together + very good food, fresh, juicy meat, fantastic puree and cabbage. Very good portions. The menu is very rich and varied, great beers. A very good place for dinner, you can feel that the cuisine is old and has a sense of taste. I ordered a sausage with puree and a triple steak with potatoes and mushroom sauce.

Silesian kingdom of heaven, a pleasure of the highest potency. Thanks for the stay.

A beautiful, cozy and romantic inn! Thanks to my desire for solyanka and the fact that many other restaurants were closed on Mondays, I was lucky enough to visit this inn. I would have loved to order the entire menu!! I enjoyed the unique atmosphere with a glass of homemade cucumber-lemon lemonade and a large bowl of solyanka! I would give 2 more stars for the ambience ;-)

Beautiful place, delicious food!

Super nice service, child-friendly and the food was fantastic

Great restaurant, the waiter speaks several languages. The dishes are simply delicious. Magnificent courtyard. When paying, the kids got jelly beans. Great restaurant, but a bit expensive (like in Germany) I recommend

Super tasty, top chef and great service. Gladly again!!!!

Very nice German restaurant with regional dishes. Fast service, very tasty food, fully recommended.

Beautiful environment, excellent food, very nice service. We really enjoyed ourselves and can only recommend this place to everyone visiting Zittau.

You're doing everything right here! An ambience that you look for in Zittau and can only be found here. The food is excellent and more than sufficient. The service also leaves nothing to complain about. Just WOW!

Highly recommended. Unfortunately no photo. I ate Matjes Silesian style. That was first class cooking. The salad in particular was fresh and something completely different, creative with lentils and selected lettuce, carrots and everything freshly prepared ourselves. Plus the homemade lemonade. A poem. Thanks for that

We can only recommend this inn. Friendly, fast service and excellent cuisine. We'd love to come back.

Rustic restaurant in the center of Zittau. The food is very tasty, the staff is very friendly and accommodating and the prices are really reasonable. We would love to come back.

We ordered and got a nice seat outside. The service is super friendly and on point. The food was super tasty and plentiful. We were very satisfied and will definitely come back. Thanks to everyone who creates there.

I was satisfied for the first time

Super nice staff, wonderful Bohemian food and other food tastes fantastic too

Beautiful courtyard and tasty food. Not too expensive and friendly staff.

Friendly service with a cozy atmosphere and good food.

Easter Sunday 2022 and we were very satisfied here. Ordering by phone was uncomplicated. The service is exemplary. Our three dishes tasted great and the price/performance ratio was reasonable. A clear recommendation from us.

Amazing restaurant with great atmosphere, nice waiter and waitress and delicious food! Tolles Restaurant mit toller Atmosphere, netten Kellnern und köstlichem Essen!

Wonderful. If you're looking for traditional food and drinks, you've come to the right place. Silesian and Bohemian cuisine can also be found here. The service is top. If you want to sit in the courtyard, you should ideally make a reservation. Recommended without exception.

I am thrilled by the ambience of the inner courtyard. The Spreewald-style schnitzel is 👌😋👍, only the start failed, there were no conditions. Only after I went into the restaurant did I notice that someone was in the yard.

Birthday party, food very good,

5 different dishes, 5 times it was tasty. So everything is fine.

Always a pleasure when I visit Zittau. A beautiful guest garden in the courtyard, like an enchanted place. Good, tasty dishes and attentive, very friendly service.

Cozy restaurant with a nice ambience. Service and prices are courteous and the food is very tasty and traditional.

An excellent location. The food was super tasty and freshly prepared. I had garlic soup as a starter (a must try) and Krakow-style smoked sausage as the main course. A table reservation is an advantage, but we were lucky and managed to get a spot.

Despite the full house, the waiting time was absolutely reasonable. Since we hadn't made a reservation, we were happy to get a free table. The food was great, especially the schnitzel was on point! The service was super friendly and accommodating. We would love to come back here.

Very good restaurant with delicious local food. Very nice back yard garden, very friendly and patient stuff. Very nice place!

Wir waren im Sommer 2024 spontan abends in Dornspachhaus. Obwohl es schon sehr ausgebucht war, haben wir noch einen Tisch bekommen. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und aufmerksam. Es gab eine vielfältige Auswahl an Speisen aus der Niederlausitz und Böhmen. Wir hatten vier verschiedene Gerichte und alle waren lecker & kann man sehr empfehlen. Sitzplätze gibt es im Innenhof oder in der urigen Stube.

Very tasty, fresh food, in a cozy atmosphere

A very nice outdoor area. It's cozy inside. The service is very nice and professional. The card has neither too much nor too little to offer. The food is very good! Here you can rely on getting good service.

We had lunch in the historic inn and were more than satisfied with the service and the food, which was absolutely top notch. You can recommend this inn with a clear conscience.

A beautiful guesthouse in the center of Zittau. Very nice courtyard to linger. Very good food and service. Table booking recommended...

An idyllic place where you are served delicious food in a very friendly manner.

Rustic atmosphere and delicious food. Great service. Always my pleasure.

It was very delicious. The small courtyard is cozy, service is great. Definitely stop by 👍
