Harzvorland Gastronomie UG (haftungsbeschränkt) in Quedlinburg

Restaurant has been closed, it is now just a great hotel

As of November 16, 2025 The cafeteria at the Harz Clinic in Quedlinburg currently has very limited opening hours. According to the posted schedule, the following hours will apply from August 19, 2025: Monday to Friday: 7:30–8:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m.–3:00 p.m. Saturday: Closed Sunday: 12:00–3:00 p.m. These short hours demonstrate how difficult it is to recruit enough staff for early, late, and weekend shifts. This is perfectly understandable, as this work is demanding and often underestimated. Better wages and more attractive working conditions would certainly help here—and this would benefit both hospital staff and visitors. More stability and relief for the team, and more reliable opening hours for everyone who needs a meal or a coffee. Despite the current limitations, it is clear that the existing staff are doing their best.

A very well-run café with a variety of cheesecakes and excellent coffee. The cakes were always top-notch. The light meals are also good. We've been there many times and always enjoy coming back.

Since the terrace opposite was occupied by a (noisy) birthday party, we took the last free table of the few available by the building. It turned out to be dirty from the birds in the climbing plants, which wasn't immediately apparent due to the impractical tablecloth. The two of us were able to use the "outer" seats. Then we waited about 15 minutes for a menu. After another 15 minutes, we were able to order (you can choose from, among other things, four types of homemade pasta) and then 20 minutes later our pasta arrived on pre-warmed (!) plates. Unfortunately, it was presented very carelessly. There weren't even any napkins! When ordering seafood pasta, you expect large shrimp and mussels. But you can also do it, as they did here, using one of the common frozen packages of cheap mixed seafood with tiny shrimp and mussels. In that case, the price should reflect the quality. Finally, we still wanted to treat ourselves to a panna cotta for dessert. That was a complete disaster – so tough you had to chew it. Either it was a week old or the cook had dropped the gelatin packet into the pot. Inedible. Unfortunately, I had already paid immediately (to avoid waiting any longer). There was no complimentary grappa or anything like that either. In short: not only is the price-performance ratio off...

We ordered food and picked it up. The employee on the phone was very friendly, and everything went smoothly at pickup. Unfortunately, the food wasn't great. The spaghetti carbonara was covered in a thick layer of cheese, there was no ham in it (or at least, the sausage-like stuff wasn't identifiable as ham), and the pasta was simply drenched in cream. It didn't have much to do with spaghetti carbonara. The pizzas were okay, but six pieces of pineapple on the Hawaiian pizza are a bit meager.
