Gasthaus Feuerkugel in Erfurt

Perfect and delicious in all respects! Thank you for the lovely evening with you. The employees, the ambience, everything is the highest level of art. Thuringian cuisine at its finest! This is what home tastes like.

Full marks!!! Food that actually tastes like home, a waiter who loves his job, lives it and does it to perfection and just have a great time in an uncomfortable restaurant with a great ambience! It was great, the roulade was nice with cucumber and meat (meat was new to me, but it's good), delicious dumplings and you can order as much sauce as you want. The wild herb soup as a starter was excellent. We had a great time here, period. :-)

A friendly restaurant with good Thuringian cuisine. Interesting creations with the regional specialty Erfurt watercress - the juice in particular is highly recommended! Of course there are the typical Thuringian dumplings here, but also a delicious, vegetarian and seasonal selection. A welcoming restaurant offering excellent Thuringian cuisine. Interesting creations with the regional specialty Erfurt watercress - especially the juice is highly recommended! Of course, you can enjoy classic Thuringian potate dumplings here, but they also serve delicious seasonal vegetarian dishes.

Leider sehr enttäuschend. Wir hatten keine Reservierung. Vor Ort bekamen wir die Information, dass wir den nächsten freien Tisch ( in ca 30 Minuten) bekommen könnten. Wir sagten dies zu. Als wir nach 25 Minuten zurück kehrten, hatte man den Tisch unmittelbar zuvor an andere Besucher vergeben. Wir wurden mit dem Kommentar "abgefertigt ", dass sich die Situation nun geändert habe.

Außerordentlich freundlicher und zuvorkommender Service, Speisen sehr lecker und gute Portionen, gutes Preis- Leistungsverhältnis. Hier hat alles gestimmt!

An absolute must when visiting Erfurt. Very good Thuringian cuisine, the dumplings are to die for, you can order sauce, service is super friendly, Reservation is an advantage!!

Today we were at the Feuerkugel inn. And what can I say... it was awesome! Actually only chosen as an emergency choice, it was the best decision to eat there! The staff was super friendly, accommodating, funny and great. The food, we had beef roulade and sauerbraten, each with red cabbage and Thuringian dumplings, was worth every bite. Super tender and delicious. All in all it was a very successful evening and visit there! Highly recommended!

Three of us had dinner there on Friday evening. Reservation necessary. Near the Krämerbrücke.We ate a typical regional meal. Sauerbraten, liver, everything was very good and plentiful. Sauce will be added again if necessary. Service very courteous and friendly. Ambience very pleasant. Highly recommended

Great location and staff, food was very, very good and the price wasn't bad either.

I've been to this restaurant several times and have always had very good service. Yesterday I spontaneously went to this restaurant with my wife and when we arrived a table had just become available. When I asked if there was an available table, the waitress told us there wasn't one and it would probably take a while for a table to become available. As we stepped aside, I heard the customer behind us also ask for a table (he also didn't have a reservation), and I saw the waitress immediately lead him to the newly vacated table. In summary, the restaurant decides which customers they want to serve in a discriminatory manner.

I had a very good meal with my wife. Unfortunately it is always fully booked and reservations were no longer possible, but due to high demand, after 30 minutes of waiting and a very nice waiter, we managed to get a table for two. Many thanks to the staff. Highly recommended.

Very, very friendly service Very good dumplings

Reservieren ist notwendig. Leckeres Essen. Zuvorkommende Kellner. Empfehlenswert. Gute Deutsche bzw. Thüringische Küche.

Das Gasthaus wird meiner Meinung nach völlig überbewertet. Der Gastraum mit viel Holz ist traditionell schön, aber das war‘s dann auch schon. Viele freundliche Bedienungen, ja der Laden läuft. Die Rinderroulade, das Aushängeschild, das nahezu jeder Gast wählt, war trocken und die Soße, von der man in einen Sauciere nachordern kann, nicht einem Schmorgericht gemäß eingekocht. Man isst und macht wieder Platz für die Nächsten.

Very delicious dumplings and staff was amazingly kind!

This is a place that is certainly worth visiting. The restaurant offers traditional German cuisine that is simple but extremely tasty and carefully prepared. The price of the main course is around EUR 25, which is adequate to the quality of the dishes served. The menu is not very long (it contains, for example, 4 regional dishes), but everyone will find something for themselves. However, it is worth remembering that the vegetarian offer is limited. The staff is very nice and helpful, which makes the visit even more pleasant. The menu is available in both German and English, making ordering easy. The restaurant offers tables both inside and outside, which allows you to enjoy your meal in a pleasant atmosphere, regardless of the weather. Due to the popularity of this place, it is worth booking a table for the evening, as the restaurant can be crowded. An additional convenience is the ability to pay by card. If you are looking for a place with authentic German cuisine and a friendly atmosphere, Gasthaus Feuerkugel is a great choice!

Sehr gute Qualität der Speisen. Handwerklich Wirklich top! Service hervorragend. Nicht günstig aber jeden Euro wert.

It's impossible how interested customers are turned away!!!!! We wanted to eat something in this restaurant, unfortunately everything was occupied. We then asked if it would be possible later, which the waiter said yes. When we wanted to make a reservation for a later date, the waiter just shouted "No" very unfriendly and loudly for whatever reason. So this restaurant is done for us. We don't need to allow ourselves to be bullied in this way.

Very solid restaurant, slightly higher prices but also good quality food. You should like it hearty and traditional. The boiled beef in horseradish didn't appeal to me as well. But I think that's more a question of taste since I tried it and not the problem of the inn. But the roulades were very, very well received.

Very tasty Thuringian specialties in a cozy atmosphere.

Together with colleagues, I visited this rustic restaurant in the old town of Erfurt. I was expecting Thuringian cuisine and was not disappointed. The roulade with red cabbage and dumplings was very tasty and when we asked, we were also given free sauce so that the dumplings could float. The service was nice, quick and very polite. I would call the furnishings rustic, but clean and absolutely appropriate. The Feuerkugel is a great restaurant and worth (at least) a visit.

Food was okay so far, a bit overpriced... Staff arrogant to almost arrogant when entering the restaurant. I thought, like in GDR times. Usher impossible. You can be happy if someone else comes.

Super friendly service, small but fine menu, great taste!

A really nice restaurant with a great ambience, especially outside in the quiet backyard. In the middle of the busy old town, it was a wonderful oasis of relaxation for us. The service was attentive, the food excellent; There is also a good selection of vegetarian dishes. We'd love to come back!

Once again it was very tasty. The fireball is always a recommendation for good food.

Thuringian cuisine, very tasty and finely balanced. Nice and friendly staff.

An absolutely recommendable inn in Erfurt with very good offerings of traditional Thuringian dishes. The Thuringian dumplings in particular are very good!

A place of hospitality like we have rarely experienced. Very friendly, very competent and attentive waiter (Stephan with Ph)😉. The food is hot on the plates. The beer is fresh. Generous portions with extra sauce. Excellent taste from regional cuisine. Highly recommended.

Very rustic and authentic atmosphere. The service friendly and attentive. The hearty food was excellent and attractively prepared. If you are in Erfurt, you should definitely stop by there.

We hardly had to wait for the friendly service and the food because we were there right at 12. Unfortunately, the Thuringian dumplings did not meet our expectations and their price. The roulade was very good, the sauerbraten was quite dry. Although we remembered the restaurant well, especially from previous visits, today it was unfortunately no more than average.

We sat in the cozy little backyard. Very nice employee who was always up for a joke. The meal was excellent. Highly recommended.

Nice pub with a focus on Thuringian cuisine. Service was great and food was tasty.

nettes Lokal ohne es besonders hervorzuheben, nettes Personal, sehr gut besucht, es gibt viele gute Gaststätten in Erfurt, wie Pier 13, Restaurant Übersee - speisen direkt am / über dem Fluss, Blockhouse Erfurt, Texas Steaklounge u.v.m. Wer fette Speisen nicht verträgt, sollte vegan essen.

Wonderful atmosphere and rustic traditional Thuringian cuisine with great Thuringian dumplings, made with a solid recipe by Grandma Käthe, who seems to somewhat stand behind the brand. The historic restaurant (not named ”Feuerkugel or Fireball” then) had its inception in the late 1580s and is hence one of Erfurt’s oldest standing establishments. We enjoyed the Sauerbraten and the (meat filled) Thüringer Rouladen, never had them filled with meat but as the Sauerbraten they were authentic in taste and had a simple savoury taste profile, just like they are meant to be. The red cabbage or Rotkraut is excellent in taste and not too sour like you find in many restaurants in Thuringia. The Klöße or dumplings have lovely buttered breadcrumb on top and are filled with buttered roasted white bread, just like they are meant to be - definitely freshly made. The only downside was the extra sauce they offer, as it seemed a bit generic and not the same as neither of the original sauces that came with the Sauerbraten and Rouladen. The grilled and ham-coated dumplings were very tasty too, as for the salad - it was good and tasty but definitely not their strong point or signature dish. The home-brewed country beer was a little on the sour side, too sour for our liking. Generally a wonderful restaurant with amazing authentic Thuringian cuisine, yet very pricey - with authentic dishes at almost €25 each, it’s downright not affordable for the working class, which is a bit sad, because they too should enjoy these wonderful treats.

Nachdem wir eine kleine Extrarunde durch die Altstadt geschlendert sind, weil im Außenbereich alle Plätze belegt waren, bekamen wir in dem gemütlichen Innenhof einen schönen Tisch. Wir entschieden uns für gebratenen Zander auf Meerrettich-Stampf und für Ochsenbäckchen mit Thüringer Klößen. wir wurden sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend bedient. Die beiden Gerichte waren äußerst lecker - wir haben alles bis auf den letzten Krümel gegessen.

Mega service, highly recommended! It's still fun to be a guest here. From the welcome, service at the seat, delicious food, small problems solved immediately and with the customer in mind, great! Thank you!

I was there for the third time now. The food is exceptionally authentic and very tasty. Old memories come flooding back and the taste of my childhood was everywhere. A really good restaurant and always worth a visit. The service is super friendly, polite and funny. You can spend a particularly great time here and have a very nice atmosphere.

Rarely have we eaten so well and had such friendly service and everything in a very pleasant atmosphere. Thanks

We ate at Feuerkugel this evening and I really have to say, the food is simply very tasty. The dishes are beautifully prepared and there is something for everyone. But our connoisseur Sabrina particularly blew us away We really liked her super friendly nature, especially towards our two children. We can highly recommend the restaurant not only because of the delicious food, but especially because of Sabrina. Thanks for that.

Baba shop with Baba food and Baba staff. Me and my Bratans and Bratuchas will definitely come back when we are in Erfurt again, my friends. The sauerbraten was simply a poem Digger and the pork cheeks from my Bre were as tender as my mom's breasts!!

Very nice atmosphere, beef roulade with dumplings and red cabbage only had a little sauce and the meat was a bit tough And the roulade wasn't whole but only half, i.e. divided in the middle.

Wir haben dort gemeinsam mit Freunden zu Abend gegessen. Das Restaurant ist gemütlich und bietet eine gute Auswahl an lokalen Gerichten. Der Sauerbraten mit Thüringer Klößen ist zu empfehlen.

This inn on a side street near the Krämerbrücke is sensational. It starts at the reception, where a waiter shows you the table with his blunt but loving manner. Then the food. Home cooking very well prepared. The meat, we had the boiled beef and the pork cheeks, everything cooked perfectly with great dumplings and sauces that were very tasty. The waitress always brings plenty of sauce. All in all a great experience. Rich food at fair prices.

Super tasty. We'd love to come back.

Traditional culinary delight, in a great ambience with very friendly staff who are happy to have a quick saying on their lips. An absolute must for every visit to Erfurt. I would give 10 stars if I could!

Great restaurant with an inner courtyard and outdoor lighting, super nice staff, fast service and very tasty food...again

Very good food, combined with a great ambience and courteous service. No intrusiveness from the service staff, quick work in the kitchen and a great atmosphere. All in all, this was a wonderful visit to the restaurant. In terms of price, the Feuerkugel inn is good middle class and absolutely affordable. It will definitely be added to our restaurant portfolio! The inn is definitely worth a visit!

Extremely delicious Thuringian cuisine, fantastically soft ox cheeks, homemade sauces, very attentive and entertaining staff. You can sit on the traffic-calmed street, at the back in the beer garden or inside.

Without any ifs and buts, very good Thuringian cuisine and friendly service.

The food was great and the service was very nice. I have rarely eaten such good roulades. It was a bit noisy, but otherwise highly recommended.

We were in the restaurant with 10 people. It was registered. We got there wishing to get an outdoor table. The arrogant and very unfriendly waiter couldn't find an option and so we had to eat our food in the restaurant when the outside temperature was 30°C. Even when we wanted to smoke a cigarette, he immediately came running after us and immediately told us in his snooty and arrogant way that this wasn't possible here and there. The food was very tasty and requests were also fulfilled. Conclusion: Nice restaurant with home-style Thuringian cuisine, unfortunately with a waiter who really spoils your visit to the restaurant.

We were a fun group of girls. The waiter was very cynical and bad-tempered. He sometimes responded to questions with not very nice words. Small wishes were not fulfilled. For example, we had pre-ordered and wanted to sit outside. At 30 degrees. This was not possible, although there was still space and these places were only reserved much later

I'll keep it very short... Go there, it's worth it! I'm actually more of a critic, but there was nothing to criticize here. Ambience great, nothing that could be perceived as disturbing. Food was great and to the point. Service was a top performance! Very friendly and incredibly attentive 6 out of 5 stars ⭐️

Service was simply great... very attentive... I can really recommend it... keep it up... we'll be happy to come back

We sat in the cozy courtyard and enjoyed the wonderful dumplings with super-friendly service

Extremely nice and humorous waitresses. A meal to melt away (I had the pork cheeks). We'd be happy to come back again at any time, even if it's private next time and not as part of a seminar 😊 Top recommendation!!!

I had Erfurter Schwarzbierfleisch with bacon beans and dumplings which were very tasty.

The courtyard is very nice and cozy. Service very nice and friendly. We can only recommend food.

Absolutely first-class service, very tasty and cozy in the beer garden!

Absolut empfehlenswert Gute Thüringer Küche und top Personal, freundlich und professionell. Die besten Thüringer Klöße in Erfurt

As always, the food was a real taste experience, and the service was top notch as always. A “delivery service” would be ideal Have you ever considered offering your food at Lieferando?

Das Essen war von mir und meiner Frau nicht wirklich gut. Verstehe nicht wie das Lokal an die vielen positiven Bewertungen kommt. Leider eine echte Touristenabzocke. Nie wieder!!!! Bedienung war gut und sehr aufmerksam, konnte das mäßige Essen nicht kompensieren. Ich schreibe diese kritischen Bewertung nicht gerne, möchte zukünftige Gäste die Enttäuschungen ersparen.

I've never eaten so badly, but never really. I wouldn't even put something like that in front of my visitors. The animal died three or four times, such wasted meat that you couldn't eat, it just wasn't possible. I've never eaten such bad red cabbage, but Mildessa's red cabbage is better. And the dumplings were probably from Maggi too. And that for almost €23. That was a shame, no apology or a free drink....nothing. I would fire this chef immediately. I didn't want to go there because there weren't many people there, that says a lot about a place. The restaurants next to it were jam-packed. I wasn't given the disappointment of experiencing a nice Thuringian meal.

The service here was friendly and very polite. The food was excellent

We ate very well in the Feuerkugel and were particularly impressed by the absolutely friendly and professional service. The menu is not that different from the other restaurants with Thuringian food, but this is not a tourist trap, but a restaurant with really good food. We can recommend the wild herb soup, the salads, the sauerbraten, the black beer meat and of course the dumplings. Definitely worth a visit…

Without a reservation, we easily got a table for 13 people around 3:30 p.m. The service is worth highlighting here. There were consultations and pleasant communication. Local beers and home-style food were served. The Feuerkugel inn can be recommended without reservation.

Very nice staff, who also provide extra sauce to go with the excellent food, which tastes excellent. I would be happy to serve sauerbraten and boiled beef with Thuringian dumplings again - thanks to the kitchen

The atmosphere is pleasant, the service is very friendly; the food is rather average. It didn't convince us.

Really good and authentic Thuringian food. Top service. It couldn't be better.

Top location, great food, excellent service. We will be back definitely. Better reserve

Super good German cuisine, nice service, gladly

Cozy restaurant with a quiet outdoor area in the inner courtyard. The menu is not overloaded, there are authentic Thuringian dishes here (there is also a small selection of vegetarian dishes). The food was very good! It's also great that you can get seconds of the delicious sauce if you wish. This means the food doesn't have to be swimming in the sauce when it's served. Here you are offered delicious food with great service at a good price! Top price-performance ratio!

Absolutely excellent food! You can taste that people cook with passion here. The staff is friendly and in a good mood. The roulade is really good and the dumplings are a hit!

We had sauerbraten, which was very good. We found the ambience inside OK. Nicer in the back garden.

Very friendly staff and really very good food. A highly recommended restaurant. We were there on 2 evenings during our stay in Erfurt and we will miss the homemade dumplings. Thank you for the hospitality.

Cozy atmosphere, friendly staff and good food and country beer

Super delicious food and very friendly service! :-)

The food was very tasty. The service was very friendly, we would love to come back.

Can only give 5 points! Food very good! Everything was on the table very quickly and a children's portion was plentiful! Very child friendly! Simply recommended!! We'd love to come back!

The food is very good and the service is also perfect. However, I think it's excessive to charge €3.40 for 0.4 liters of water. People like me, who hardly consume alcohol or soft drinks, are forced to resort to expensive water in restaurants. In no other country in the world is water in gastronomy as expensive as here in Germany.

Very nice inn with excellent Thuringian cuisine. The portions were large enough for the price, so we were full and satisfied.

Excellent cuisine and very friendly service Very good price/performance Relationship

Very good food of classic German cuisine and very friendly and professional staff. Lovely again!

Excellent cuisine. Be sure to reserve a spot

Despite the full house, we were well seated after a short wait. Our waitress Stephan with “AI” between the M and the K - was sensational - eloquent and authentically honest in response to the small comment about the chef's infatuation #SomethingZuMielSalz. This restaurant is completely recommended and on normal Saturdays, well-known singers sometimes sit at the neighboring table :-)

We made a reservation, received a very friendly welcome and felt very comfortable. The food was very good, we had chosen specialties from Thuringian cuisine. The local beer rounded us out very well. Price-performance ratio fits. We'd love to come back.

We went to this quaint Thuringian restaurant for dinner on Friday. Luckily we reserved in advance - the places were in high demand. We had Thuringian specialties - of course with dumplings and regional beer. It was super delicious! The service was very quick, incredibly friendly and more than made up for any small mix-ups. I can fully recommend the fireball.

Rustic restaurant with excellent Thuringian dishes. Fantastic service and super friendly staff.

Excellent food. Very friendly service. Relatively expensive but absolutely worth the price. Traditional Thuringian cuisine at its best.

Super delicious food and great service. Gladly again!

We are very excited about our visit to the Feuerkugel inn! Since we didn't have a reservation, we tried our luck there on Saturday morning (6 p.m.) and it was worth it! Despite a number of occupied tables and reservations, we got a seat. The service staff should be particularly praised at this point, because without exception they were all very friendly, attentive, courteous and humorous. The dishes (spinach dumplings, beef roulade and roast pork) were all delicious, especially the sauces! If we visit Erfurt again, we will definitely come back!

Top service. Top food. Great ambience. The food here is still fresh and extremely tasty. We'd love to come back.

Even though we hadn't made a reservation, we were seated after a short time. Consider offering a table inside. Later we even got a table outside. Very warm and courteous staff. The food was very tasty and we asked several times if everything was OK. We felt completely comfortable. Thank you!

Nice restaurant in Erfurt, a real recommendation if you are looking for/like Thuringian cuisine.

A nice restaurant, staff is super friendly and always attentive The food is very tasty and can only be recommended

Thank you, it was great with you again 🍴🥂👍🏽 Reservations are recommended

We spontaneously visited the Feuerkugel inn on Good Friday and were served very friendly and treated to extremely delicious Thuringian specialties. The atmosphere is also very cozy and overall we felt very welcome as guests. A full 5 out of 5 delicious Thuringian dumplings. 🙂

We spontaneously came over for dinner and were then invited in straight away. Our child (1 year old) was sitting in the stroller, and right at the entrance we were told to put the stroller down. Our child was already a bit tired, so we wanted to leave him in the stroller. We were given a high chair and were able to put our child in the high chair while eating. Because of the tiredness, our child became more and more restless. When asked again about the stroller at the table, the immediate response was “No, that’s not possible,” even though two chairs at the table could have simply been exchanged for the stroller. So both parents ate alone & one parent had to go out with our child because he was too tired to sit in the high chair. The question is, how are parents supposed to do this with a baby who can't even sit? And are dependent on the stroller because the baby can only lie down? Unfortunately, it's a bit discriminatory when it comes to babies and toddlers who can't sit in a chair for long. Unfortunately, you couldn't enjoy your stay in the restaurant at all and you were just stressed. A pity!

Great food - although for my taste the sauerbraten can be marinated for longer - but that's a matter of taste - great and genuine gastro service - only one point deducted because it is relatively loud - a few sound-absorbing elements would make it more comfortable.
