Gaststätte Heinrichs in Plauen

Very nice atmosphere and good traditional food.

Yesterday, December 27th, 2025, we went out for dinner to celebrate my mother's 68th birthday. The ambiance is really lovely, and the food was delicious. 👍 However, the service towards the end was not at all commendable. My mother ordered a non-alcoholic wheat beer (Cola Weizen), but since it wasn't on the menu, we were charged €7.80 for a 0.5-liter non-alcoholic wheat beer. The explanation given was that it wasn't on the menu. Firstly, they could have communicated this beforehand, and secondly, they could have done so in a more polite manner. My brother had the receipt snatched out of his hand, and then we stormed off, clearly annoyed. We were quite shocked by this behavior and, unfortunately, cannot recommend this restaurant due to the service. It's a shame because the food is truly delicious. We also spent €150 at the restaurant, including tips. I would also like to add that after a brief discussion, the money was refunded to us, i.e., the difference.

We used to love eating at this restaurant – mainly because of the incredibly kind, tattooed waiter who truly brought the place to life. His open, warm personality, his humor, and his attentiveness made every visit special. We felt welcome, seen, and simply at ease. Since he left, we honestly haven't been eating there anymore. Not because the food was bad – but because we missed that special person who transformed a restaurant visit into a truly memorable experience. Service can make all the difference – and he was that difference. It's a shame they didn't keep him.

We were there today for the Christmas party. The vaulted room is very beautiful, and the young trainee was fantastic. However, the oxtail portion was far too small. I often cook this dish myself, and it was at most a quarter of an oxtail with Brussels sprouts that were almost oversalted. The mashed potatoes and gravy would have been okay... But then to charge €26.90 for the whole thing... Completely outrageous. I wasn't the only one. My colleagues ordered an appetizer after their main course. Regards

The two of us ate there on Sunday around 4 pm. The place was initially empty, but then it filled up nicely. We received a friendly welcome. We ordered two drinks, a soup, an appetizer, and two main courses: duck liver (I don't usually eat it, but it looked very appealing and was presented beautifully, and I heard it was delicious), and Vogtland-style sauerbraten (marinated pot roast) – I thought it was extremely good, and a generous portion. For dessert, we had warm apple strudel with ice cream. All in all, it cost just under €70. It's definitely worth a visit. Beautiful old walls, but there's no wheelchair access.

Fancy a relaxing game of bowling before dinner? Then head to Heinrichs. We had a lovely evening. It seemed like all the tables were booked. That speaks for itself.

Guys, you have to go there! Absolutely delicious, top-notch service, and a wonderful atmosphere.

Highly recommended!! A very nice, cozy restaurant. We received incredibly friendly service and the food was amazing. I've rarely had such a good steak. Excellent value for money. We'll definitely be back.

To celebrate our special day, we even received matching table decorations, which means the staff are not only particularly friendly but also have a sense of humor. The food is delicious, and the wait time is reasonable. Reserving a table is recommended, but with two people, you can also ask the staff at the drop of a hat. Two bowling lanes are also available for use upon reservation. Everything is very clean, but not wheelchair accessible, as you have to climb stairs (please inquire if there is an alternative entrance).

No chance without a reservation

Hello dear Heinrichs team, I wanted to say THANK YOU for the great service and the quick implementation of my request!!! You are a fantastic team, keep up the good work!! Special thanks again to Yvonne and Maik😊 you were great!!!! We'd love to come back👍🏼 Best wishes, Sindy 😊

A wonderful restaurant with very friendly staff! The food was excellent 👍 and the ambiance was lovely. All in all, we had a wonderful evening! Thank you very much!

Highly recommended! The zander fillet and treble with herb cream sauce were absolutely delicious, plentiful, and visually appealing! The prices are also very fair. A culinary gem, rarely found these days!

Very nice place, but unfortunately the prices are a bit high, as is the case everywhere these days. There's an extra charge for substituting the side dish, which is a shame.

The waitress was very nice. We chatted a bit after dinner. And the food is fantastic. We weren't particularly hungry and ordered a small bite. But we got so much more! Visually, tastefully, portion size – all 5 stars. And everything's homemade, too. At a more than fair price. Many restaurants in the north should take a look at how they do it. Simply fantastic!

I wanted to reserve a table for 6 people by phone at 7 p.m. on a Sunday. The "friendly" female voice immediately resolutely replied, "7 p.m. is too late, 6 p.m. at the latest, otherwise we won't be able to do business!" The astonished customer, not the king here but rather the supplicant, is left speechless. In addition, on my last visit, I was surprised by the relatively early kitchen closing time. A colleague who arrived almost at the kitchen's closing time (train delay) was informed, albeit relatively politely, of this (kitchen closing time) when he tried to order. In my opinion, with a little goodwill, something smaller could certainly have been served here. Due to the above-mentioned, in my opinion already outrageous, announcement on the phone, I only give the service -1- star. I enjoyed the food on my other visits, and the ambience in the cellar vault is also appealing. Therefore, I give this one -4- stars. Overall, I'm still giving it a -3 star rating, even though the tone of the conversation still sits heavily with me.

Honest, very good cuisine, friendly staff – nothing fancy, top-notch food! Value for money, absolutely perfect. We are completely satisfied. A must-visit! Five stars are definitely not enough, so, 👍👍👍👍👍

We came here spontaneously and immediately felt at home: very friendly and attentive staff, a special atmosphere, and very good food for the price. We highly recommend the spiced meat, Grandma's cucumber salad, the schnitzel, and the triplets with herb sour cream. A successful evening, we can definitely recommend it!

Here you'll find typical, regional, and delicious dishes at reasonable prices. Unfortunately, the restaurant isn't wheelchair accessible, but in summer, you can also enjoy outdoor seating. Reserving a table is recommended. We'll definitely be back.

No vegetarian dish on the menu. If you ask, you're immediately told that at least you're not vegan, because those are the worst. The vegetable stir-fry they made for me was great (just write it on the menu, it shouldn't be a hassle, right?) *Note: Oh, such a nice response to my review. Very timely. I was here in January. Perhaps—one can hope and wish—there's a vegetarian dish on the menu by now. :)

Everything was delicious. The service was very friendly.

We can only recommend the restaurant!

The food was delicious and beautifully presented. The menu is varied without seeming overly elaborate. We were there on a Saturday evening, and it was very busy, including larger groups. However, the wait times were perfectly acceptable. All the service staff were very friendly and responded immediately to any requests. I had to add more seasoning to my dishes, but everything was already on the table. I'd especially like to highlight the ambiance! It's beautifully decorated, and everything matches the vaulted ceiling, especially the lighting, so we felt truly at home. Perhaps good to know these days: There's absolutely no reception in the dining room. Which is really nice to be able to fully concentrate on the people you're there with. For me, as a young mother who left her baby with her grandparents for the first time, it was only a minor stress factor ^^

Very tasty food and very friendly service...we will definitely be back...🤗

The food is delicious! I'm deducting points for the overpowering perfume the waiter wore (he was still nice, but please, one or two sprays less). And what also struck me negatively is that the owners love to give orders and lectures. I wouldn't want to read that on the front page of the menu. (I'd rather read something about the restaurant and its history.) We'd still come back for the food. Regards

Highly recommended. Even though we hadn't booked in advance, a great solution was found, and it was a very pleasant stay.

A culinary highlight in Plauen – simply heavenly! What a treat! The Heinrich restaurant absolutely delighted us with its culinary delights. From the first bite to the last, everything was perfect: fresh, lovingly prepared, and of the highest quality. The menu is varied, with regional touches and creative ideas. Particularly noteworthy: the incredibly tender meat and the homemade side dishes – simply a dream! The best part was the VIP room 😉, which we were able to spontaneously book for 7 people on a Monday. The ambiance is also cozy and authentic, with great attention to detail. The service was attentive, friendly, and warm – you feel completely at home. A true gem in Plauen! We'll definitely be back – and bring friends!

Extremely friendly and prompt service, delicious German food at a reasonable price in the heart of the city. Large beer garden under trees

I can recommend this restaurant with a clear conscience. The food, drinks, and service are all excellent. The number of guests reflects this. Reservations are therefore recommended.👍🍻🍝

Here you will find good food and always friendly staff.

Super tasty, great selection, very friendly staff and great location with a cozy beer garden at moderate prices

The food was amazing. The service was super friendly. I highly recommend it 🥰🤩

Always worth a visit. We've been there several times. Either for dinner or a spontaneous drink in the summer. Everything was perfect.

One of the best restaurants we have here in Plauen. Everything just fits! Great ambience, great cuisine, great service We love coming here!!!

For a guild that is not ready for a full plate of everything, it can be a shock, like for us. Both meals are total overpaid abomination. I had to laugh. I told myself that I wouldn't experiment and go for the schnitzel. I got a cutlet with some kind of hair smeared on it and cheese on it and cubes of meat in it. Plus fried potatoes, full of meat too. And I turned out even better than Lendula, she got more of everything... a cat and a dog wouldn't make a better meal. The atmosphere and service are good, and the beer too. But please, people, be careful what you order!

Very cozy and tastefully decorated atmosphere! Great value for money! Good selection of food. Highly recommended!

Very nice and quaint restaurant. Friendly service, very tasty, home-style food and fair prices. We'll definitely be back.

This restaurant is by far the best in all of Plauen! 😍

Service was good so far. Unfortunately no food. I rarely complain, but the sauerbraten was extremely tough and the sauce wasn't edible. What was good again was that the staff took care of it immediately and provided a new meal (which was packed for home at my request). In addition, a drink was taken off the bill as an apology for the unsuccessful meal.

Restaurant in the vaulted cellar of the old town hall with various rooms. Very rustic atmosphere thanks to the architecture. Staff is very friendly and professional. I can only recommend it.

Very nice, stylish restaurant in the heart of Plauen with good traditional and modern cuisine, consistently warm food and friendly service

After a friendly welcome, we had a relaxing evening in a beautifully furnished restaurant with delicious food and attentive staff! We would love to come back and are looking forward to it. Thank you!

No words, fullest recommendation. From the team, to the food, to the ambience, everything is top notch. We'll be back - no question.

I can only recommend it. Yummy!

I last dined here around 2011 and am very pleased that after all these years neither the food, the ambience nor the friendly service have diminished. Unfortunately, this has become rare these days and all I can say is... Keep it up 👍

We first had a lot of fun playing mini bowling and were then treated to a fantastic meal. Good home cooking is really top. Be sure to try potato pancakes or curds for dessert. We'll be back.

Today we were in a large group for dinner and bowling. Service was great and everyone's food tasted sensational.

We were there for the Christmas party and were thrilled. 2 cute, intimate bowling alleys and very tasty food afterwards. The staff was friendly and on point. Price-performance absolutely within the framework. 👍

A very nice rustic atmosphere with delicious food

Super delicious food in a great atmosphere. A big compliment to the service staff and the kitchen. We would be happy to come back and recommend you. Keep it up!

My meal (hock of pork with cabbage and dumplings) didn't look good, and unfortunately it didn't taste good either, bedside ice cream - kitchen closed 🤦🏼‍♀️

Very pleasant service and very tasty food. Wasn't there the first and not the last time. 😊

Very nice/historic location. Friendly and fast service, fantastic food. Even if it is 70 km away from us, we will definitely come back. Highly recommended 👍👍👍

We once again had dinner with the family in this rustic restaurant and were not disappointed. It was a cozy and culinary evening, everyone was thrilled by the ambience, food and friendly staff. There were 7 of us and we had delicious food at the same time .Everything was great. I would highly recommend it. The prices are also okay. We have been there several times and will be back

Best restaurant in Plauen, in every respect xxxx

We eat here more often because everything is perfect!

The service is very friendly and quick, the food was really delicious. I can highly recommend the sauerbraten, generally better than in other restaurants in Plauen.

It was lunch here for the first time. I was more than positively surprised, my companions (wife and in-laws) were also positively enthusiastic. A restaurant in Plauen that we would happily recommend

Nice restaurant with drawbacks We were here for dinner today as a large group. The location and ambience at Heinrichs is hard to beat in Plauen. But the prices are also accordingly. Since the restaurant was very busy, we had to wait a long time for our food. The service team was very nice and looked after us very courteously. Unfortunately, only limited special requests could be accommodated, which is a bit of a shame given the manageable menu with unusual kitchen creations. To make matters worse, I actually went home hungry (a real shame because I'm really not a glutton). I wish Heinrichs and his team all the best.

Great restaurant, great service and of course unsurpassed great food. Prices are also very moderate. Keep it up, we'll come back when we're nearby. Thank you

Very good restaurant in the center of Plauen with moderate prices. Highly recommended.

They really did something great here. Great atmosphere. A small menu, but the quality of the dishes is good. Gladly again!

I was very satisfied, even trainees do their jobs very well there. I'll take a look again next time I'm home. Keep it up 👍

We celebrated something there in a small group. We were accommodated in a separate room in this very beautiful vault. We all enjoyed the food very much, with a variety of starters, main courses and desserts. There was nothing to complain about at all. The service was very attentive and always arrived in a timely manner before we were missing anything. The wait for the food was perfectly fine. The price-performance ratio is guaranteed for us in any case. Keep it up. We'd love to come back.

Wonderful food and great service. This will be my favorite place…..😃 keep it up!!!!!!

Although I have lived in Plauen my whole life, this was only my first time there. And I regret not having been here more often. The atmosphere is really nice, the employees are all super nice and accommodating. And the food was simply a poem. Good portion, fair price, freshly prepared, taste. Just really cool from start to finish. Huge recommendation for anyone who hasn't been there yet.

Simply brilliant, rarely eaten like this and received friendly service 👍👍👍 a must visit Plauen......

Both the food and the drinks (homemade) tasted excellent. The service was very friendly. Price/performance absolutely fine. I also really liked the ambience. Only recommended!

Very friendly staff. Delicious food.

Nice atmosphere and very tasty - especially local - dishes. Moderate waiting time. It's also open before 5 p.m.

It's always nice to discover a new highlight. Freshly prepared food and very tasty too. I'd love to come back here! Prices are really ok.

Very good food and short waiting times.

Very good service, great, friendly staff and really, really good food. We were completely satisfied and will be happy to visit you again. Thank you

Nice location (terrace), atmospheric, good food. The service was okay, although somewhat inexperienced. We were surprised that we could no longer order dessert at 8:30 PM, even though the restaurant is open until 10:00 PM.

Top service - good cuisine - great entertainment

A very nice evening with friends, with great service and very good food. Thank you very much... we'll be happy to come back.

Everything is great. Service super competent. Food excellent. Gladly again.

Have a beer and be looked after so kindly! Very hospitable to feel good. The menu also promises delicious! Great tip in Plauen!

We got 2 seats outside today without a reservation. Our choice was roulade and sauerbraten as well as Schmarrn. Tastes great, as the pictures suggest. Clear recommendation, the menu is also very balanced and practically acceptable.

Heinrichs Plauen, where do I start? For me, Plauen has now reached the top of German cuisine. If you like German dishes, I can only recommend visiting Heinrichs! The service is absolutely friendly, accommodating and even if we didn't make a reservation, we found ways to still eat there. The tips are always particularly high there, I think the waiters and employees really make the restaurant! The food tastes great, the portions are huge, the selection is just right and there is something for almost everyone. Maybe add 1-2 vegetarian dishes and there's nothing to complain about (we had a vegetarian with us, it was a little more difficult for him). I think the prices are absolutely justified for the quality you get there, there are no complaints about it, it's brilliant! Stay as you are, you have the status in the city center as the best German restaurant & this achievement is remarkable! With such strong neighbors! I wish the entire team all the best! Stay and cook as you are. Thank you for the great culinary experiences.

After a two-hour odyssey through the Vogtland, looking for a place that could satisfy our desire for a proper, local lunch (at an unusual hour), we landed at "Heinrichs". It should probably be like that. Unfortunately, due to the miserable weather, we couldn't sit on the beautiful terrace, but the interior rooms, with their rustic vaults, are also very cozy. The food was excellent. (We had garlic bread as a snack and roulades with red cabbage and dumplings.) The service is very friendly, attentive and quick. We can highly recommend this restaurant.

Once again we enjoyed a pleasant evening with delicious food. The service is very attentive and friendly.

Food was great! Tomahawk highly recommended. The cellar beer was also very good to drink. Many thanks also to Maik and the trainee Lisa for the great and courteous service. Greetings from Hesse

Very friendly staff (including the trainees) nice to see that something like this still exists. Food was super tasty at fair prices. Definitely a recommendation if you are in Plauen. Gladly again 👍👍👍

We sat very comfortably in the beer garden. The Plauen beer meat with napkin dumplings was excellent. Service employees were very friendly, attentive and well organized. We'd love to come back!

Super nice service, despite the busy number of guests, the service was quick and friendly, requests for choice of food were easily accommodated, we always like to come back, both outside and inside. Many thanks to the entire team

It's not just the price-performance ratio that's right here. You can also tell that the staff enjoy their work, which is carried through to the trainees. We felt very comfortable eating in the beer garden.

We went there for the second time on Saturday, this time with friends who were also thrilled by the service, the delicious food and the appealing ambience, even in the beer garden.

Super charming restaurant, extremely friendly service and very fast, perfect service with really good food. Clear recommendation!

Excellent food, incredibly friendly staff, great outdoor seating. Absolutely recommended!

Great and extremely friendly service from an employee with glasses, food is fresh and comes to the table hot....simply great and happy to...please keep it up

Nice, cozy restaurant with good home-style food.

Everything was perfect. Large table with space for the dog. Drinks came super quickly. The Kaiserschmarrn was a dream. We'd love to come back.

Nice beer garden. Friendly staff. Good food. It doesn't get any better. In the evening when the weather is nice, a reservation is recommended. 👍👍

Have been to this very beautiful historic restaurant several times. And this time too we weren't disappointed. Friendly service and the food was again very good.

Very good food at a very good price/performance ratio in Plauen! Service absolutely friendly and attentive. The Kaiserschmarren is homemade and tastes very good. Therefore an absolute recommendation!

First address in Plauen, very centrally located, good atmosphere

It was tasty and the service was nice. Food very decoratively prepared.

Delicious food, nice service and great ambience... there's nothing more to say. We had a lovely evening.

The six girls who met on May 7th. We were very satisfied when we visited. The staff was very friendly.
