Herr Käthe in Torgau

I'd gladly come back here. The food is remarkably good (very good!). The staff is competent, attentive, and very friendly. I'm already looking forward to next year, when we have another family reunion. And we'll be back at Herr Käthe's again.

We were a group of six for dinner at the restaurant. The service was very friendly and attentive. But the food was definitely a mixed bag. There was some very good food, but also some that weren't so good. My relative ordered the "Surf and Turf" grilled rump steak with a crispy crust and a king prawn skewer. It was supposed to be really good, and it looked good too. A thick steak, grilled medium. But I ordered the "Happy Bull." Grilled beef fillet with fries and vegetables. So, for the price of €32, and after asking if it should be grilled medium, I expected a nice piece of grilled fillet. In contrast to the rump steak, I received two thin slices of sous-vide cooked meat instead. Which, of course, wasn't medium with such thin slices. We also ordered "A Modern Classic." A large veal schnitzel with vegetable gratin. Well, you can't really call it large. It's a perfectly ordinary schnitzel, which is actually quite small. With a soggy breading on the underside of the tough and very heavily seasoned schnitzel.

The ambiance is good if you're looking for a rustic experience. However, the dishes are a bit odd, both in terms of the names and the combination of vegetables. I'm convinced the chef intentionally selects the worst vegetables in the world for his dishes.

Quaint little restaurant in the heart of Torgau...funny name, delicious food, friendly staff, good price—everything was just right!

Excellent service and the food was great too. One of the few opportunities to get something vegan.

We ordered for 4 people on October 11, 2025, at 5:00 PM. Excellent food, very friendly service. Unfortunately, we were explicitly asked, but politely (!), to vacate the table after an hour. We would have liked to finish our drinks in peace. Nevertheless, the quality of the food and service were very good.

Highly recommended restaurant. Fast, friendly service, delicious, wholesome food. Good wine. Thank you for letting us be there.

Delicious meal with colleagues, rustic ambience

A ray of hope in Germany's service desert. A fine restaurant offering sophisticated cuisine, reflected not only in the quality but also in the creativity of its dishes. In summer, it also features a beer garden with a Mediterranean flair.

After a visit to the enchanting castle, we just wanted a quick bite to eat on a rainy Monday evening. After walking through the door into a very quaint, beautifully decorated taproom, we were not only greeted and served very warmly, but also treated to a fantastic meal. Rustic ambiance meets modern, yet regional cuisine. We were offered both vegetarian and gluten-free options (all allergens are clearly indicated), and everything was delicious at a fair price! The seasonal pumpkin soup was also really good!

Nice atmosphere, very tasty food, pleasant service

The restaurant is located in a squat old half-timbered house in Torgau. The name itself is striking, but what intrigued us most was the original menu, which can be viewed on the website. We didn't regret our visit to Mr. Käthe's! Anyone expecting nothing but bland home cooking will have their eyes opened by the starter soup. Sweet potato soup with shrimp skewers - where else can you find that? Well, right here, at Mr. Käthe's. Not only was the sweet potato soup perfectly balanced – not too sweet, not too savory, not too sour – the shrimp were also a delight. And then the main course. The decision was difficult; you can't have everything. I opted for a maritime version again, perhaps because I'm so sensitive to the water; the Elbe River isn't that far away, who knows. In any case, the "stuffed mermaid" on its bed of green seaweed and two tomatoes was a taste sensation that you definitely don't get every day. The homemade fries and herb dip also deserve a special mention. The portions were so large that we unfortunately didn't get to try the desserts. No problem, now we have another destination to try on our next visit to Torgau. The food was also top-notch: Particularly noteworthy were the friendly and detailed advice and the prompt service. The decor is simple but nice. You can also pay by card.

Four of us ate here. Delicious and we'll be back. We'll be back.

Gladly again very attentive and tasty

We were there one weekday evening. A lovely, cozy courtyard invites you to sit and enjoy the local dark beer. A fantastic selection of dishes, all with great names, was served. It was difficult to decide. We followed the waitress's suggestion and had a super delicious fish dish, followed by dessert. A restaurant I only visit every few years, unfortunately, due to the distance. But I'll definitely be back. Keep up the good work.

A sweet experience. A wonderful, lovingly designed ambiance in the courtyard. Incredibly friendly staff. Extremely delicious food. <3

Plenty of glutenfrei gluten free food to eat. Large portions too.

Highly recommended! Unique menu and accompanying food.

I was passing through and stopped here for dinner on a recommendation. Very friendly and unconventional service, I enjoyed an extremely tasty meal made with the finest ingredients, and I would highly recommend it. See you next time!

Always a moment of relaxation. The historic townhouse has a unique atmosphere. The food is imaginative and delicious. The service is friendly and personable. The staff are always up for a joke.

The food was delicious and the service very attentive. I definitely recommend it.

Super delicious, exceptional food with Radeberger on tap in a summery atmosphere. What more could you want?

We visited Mr. Käthe in May 2025. Super friendly service and excellent food. Some unusual dishes you can't get anywhere else, and the chef managed to put a smile on our faces. A very cozy atmosphere. Thank you very much! Highly recommended. We'd be happy to come back.

Completely different, very worthwhile, creative, not the usual German cuisine, good, cozy atmosphere!

Beautiful outdoor seating in the backyard, delicious, creative dishes. Fresh and lovingly prepared. Fast, friendly service. Highly recommended.

What a fantastic meal! This initially unassuming restaurant should be considered an insider tip. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, and this perfectly seasoned, harmonious dish (beef fillet, salad, etc.) isn't cheap at €30, but it definitely deserves that price! The ambiance could be better, but it's perfectly adequate. I'll definitely be back, even if I'm not from Torgau!!!!! Great food! Thank you!!! 😃

Surprising place with delicacies

warm welcome even without a reservation / very tasty food

Nice ambience, friendly staff and delicious food, would love to go back

I can recommend this small restaurant without hesitation. The food was delicious, the service was quick, but unfortunately the backyard was small with high walls and wobbly chairs (no card payments due to technical issues)...but it was quaint!

A wonderfully cozy restaurant with a lovely garden and seating area, great food at very reasonable prices. Attentive and friendly service. Thomas Eckhardt

I was here with my brother on May 8th. I highly recommend it; super friendly service and delicious food at a fair price. I'd be happy to go back. Greetings from Berlin

Auch wenn man früh am Abend kommt, ist man ein gern gesehener Gast, und kann aus der lustigen Karte außergewöhnliche Speisen finden. Besonders die Salate schmecken sehr gut. Wir haben sie alle probiert!

Tried asparagus with eggnog and am fascinated by it. Service and location recommended. Can only recommend it!!!!

Small, cute restaurant with a new interpretation of German cuisine. Many dishes can be had in small portions. Vegetarians also get their money's worth. Have eaten there at least 10 times in the last three years. Quality consistently good.

A restaurant with culinary dishes that should appeal to everyone. From everyone and super tasty. Whether fish or meat of different types, everything is cooked to perfection. The side dishes and salads are also simply delicious. Friendly service rounds everything off. Vegetarians are also catered for, so everything is satisfactory. We'd love to come back. The prices are well adapted to the dishes and not too expensive.

*Rustic charm meets delicious food* A visit to *Mr. Käthe* is highly recommended! The rustic and simple furnishings give the restaurant a cozy atmosphere. The food was very tasty and the portions were generous - even the “small” portion was enough for a small hunger. The service was friendly and attentive, which made the stay even more enjoyable. An all-round successful evening – we would love to come back!

Such a beautiful gem🙏🏽☺️ in Saxony! A great ambience, beautifully designed, nothing more is necessary! Beautifully preserved house 👌

Yes, I can recommend the restaurant

Great little restaurant, idyllic and very cozy, the food is great and the service very friendly

I'm new to the city and happened to pass by while exploring. Great. It's really just really nice, beautiful, and the food was a pleasant surprise; I wasn't expecting it.

Highly recommended! Delicious food and very, very friendly service 😌

Restaurant with a historical atmosphere in the old town of Torgau.

Very tasty and creative cuisine, rustic and cozy small

Delicious. Nice ambience! Highly recommended. Update: still recommended six years later!

The food was great, fresh vegetables, perfect meat, delicious sauce. The service was quick and friendly. Beer and wine are of course also delicious. We'll come back next time in Torgau.

Good restaurant with a large selection of dishes. Primarily German prepared food.

Food and beer were very good. The meat was cooked to perfection. The service was very friendly, but it could generate more sales if guests were asked more often. The plaster or wall paint is also starting to crumble in one place or another. The prices are within reasonable limits. Would give 4.5 stars.

We have been to Herr Käthe many times. So far we have always been satisfied. This time the vegetarian dish “Meeting of the Vegetable Peoples” caused severe vomiting diarrhea in two people. We don't know what was different this time.

Always worth a visit - great food, rustic atmosphere, friendly and competent staff. We really enjoy coming here :)

Very tasty food and very friendly staff

I didn't make a reservation, just visited because I was hungry, fully booked but still a time slot of 90 minutes to eat for two people, the food was really great, definitely stop by and enjoy, praise to the kitchen and the service.

If you're waiting for your food, you should take a look upstairs. Beams that lie on sandstone supports are not that common. Then there was the design of the ceilings and walls - I liked it. But now to the essentials when you come here to eat: I had to come here twice so that I could try the beef after the pork. I enjoyed it very much, the service is really great - I'll be back next time in Torgau!

We spontaneously stopped by Mr. Käthe's and received a friendly welcome. The young waitress was very competent, friendly and helpful. Thanks for that! The food was excellent. Well seasoned and yet balanced and delicately seasoned so that all the flavor nuances came into play. Even the homemade mulled wine was perfect and the coffee was strong but tasty. The price was more than reasonable and the portions were plentiful. 😊

Very friendly staff, pleasant atmosphere. It was a bit cold inside at the end of September, but we didn't spend much time there anyway after we finished our meal. The reason I give 4/5 stars is that all three dishes, although different, had the same, almost boring taste. In my opinion, the vegetables were undercooked, but of course there are people who like them crispy. The seasonings used were very simple – just salt and pepper.

After two hours of driving through the rain, we arrived at this very cozy restaurant and had the opportunity to warm up and have a really good meal. The service was great and the staff was warm and courteous. Highly recommended.

Very nice little cozy place, nice service where you feel welcome! Food was beautifully prepared and very tasty at a fair price. Top 👍🏻

Delicious food and a nice atmosphere, super friendly staff and okay prices

After almost 20 years I was a guest here again. I was really looking forward to it. The food was again extremely tasty, good portions and very creative, just like back then. For me it was a pleasure again. Very friendly and loving service. Reservation is always better. It's nice that "Mr. Käthe" still exists, keep it up. I'd love to come back

So we got to Torgau at a weird hour between lunch and dinner. We wanted more than beer but less than dinner, and the staff was very accommodating with our request for beers and a cheese plate. Couldn't believe the quality and artistry of the cheese plate. Beautiful and delicious. We sat outside in a shaded, private courtyard, ate said plate, and a had a couple of beers. Idyllic ❤️.

A very nice restaurant with great food and very friendly service. We sat outside there, which was particularly nice.

We ate deliciously and felt very comfortable

Ein rumsteck mit Pfifferling und Bratkartoffeln was perfekt war! Bratkartoffeln mit biss nicht überwürzt Pfifferlinge Frisch mit Sahnesauce und das Steak a Point. Großes Kompliment! Service sehr umsichtig. Leider konnte die Köchin das Kompliment aufgrund von eingehenden Bestellungen nicht persönlich in empfang nehmen. Komme auf alle Fälle wieder.

Nice beer garden, great food, friendly service

I can't determine the type of cuisine, but it was delicious and surprisingly inexpensive

Very great food and very nice and courteous staff. We felt very comfortable. Clear recommendation!

Food was delicious, the young man in service was super nice and considerate. I can recommend.

We sat quite comfortably outside. The service was very friendly. The dishes are delicious and have imaginative names. We felt comfortable 👍

We had a very tasty meal there, delicious rum steak and excellent chicken. Service was great. Go there.

Very cozy courtyard and tasty food. Friendly service.

Chanterelle cream soup + salad, modern classic (real Viennese schnitzel) + potato gratin, all great Nice courtyard, very nice service

Very nicely located in the old town of Torgau. Small, cozy, friendly staff and delicious food.

The food was tasty so far, but unfortunately the portion was saved quite a bit. Conclusion for the price the portion is not justified.

Essen war soweit lecker, leider wurde an der Portion ziemlich gespart. Fazit für den Preis ist die Portion nicht gerechtfertigt.

A great place, with delicious food 😋. Great service, everything is great, here the guest is king and the service desert of Germany remains outside. Thank you very much, keep it up. 👍👍👍👍👍

Great restaurant where the price-performance ratio is right. The food is perfect and the service is incredibly nice and accommodating. We will definitely be back and can recommend this restaurant without hesitation. Thanks to the team.

Very very tasty. Great atmosphere and very, very friendly staff 😋🍻

Nettes Restaurant mit einer rustikalen Atmosphäre, kreative Gerichte mit tollen Geschmackskompositionen. Es war sehr lecker und die Bedienung war sehr aufmerksam. Es gibt nichts negatives zu berichten.

Insanely delicious food, crunchy vegetables, nothing is drowned in sauce. In summer you can sit outside in a cute courtyard, completely undisturbed, I felt incredibly comfortable. The team is great and open to special requests. If you are in Torgau, definitely eat here.

It's a bit hidden, but impresses with its excellent cuisine. If I'm in Torgau again, I'll eat again with Mr. Käthe 👍

Great, not necessarily good home-style cooking - nice variety, we were able to eat outside...

Good food and very friendly service. You feel good there 👍

Quaint and beautiful location. Tasty dishes.

Great place, it's very hard to find because it's on the side in a street, but once you're inside, the old atmosphere is nice. Nice tenement house, lots of space, two floors, even in general, the place, the staff comes to me quickly, it's spacious, everyone will find something for themselves, even at any age, you can come there to see the toilet. everything is as it should be, everything is tasty, I think the piss is freshly made, the fries ha. The place is air-conditioned, the opening hours are given, are they up to date, the place, the parking space nearby, and you already belong to the city, and the prices, well, the prices, you know, for such good food, so... you have to pay a little more but everything is ok, best regards and recommend

Original menu, greetings to Pauline 🐈‍⬛

I can only recommend this restaurant, delicious food, nice service and especially the outdoor area in the backyard.

Sitting very comfortably in the yard. The menu is special, we really liked it.

Rustically furnished restaurant with varied, very tasty dishes and good service. There are also senior plates there!

Recommended. Delicious food and a very nice inn. Particularly. Small but nice.

Very quaint restaurant, Very tasty food and nice service

Worth a stop! There were 13 of us, everyone happy! What more do you want!

Super delicious food and great service

A great restaurant that seems to be underestimated from the outside. We were there on the occasion of our friend's birthday and were pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere and, above all, the food. Definitely recommended. Thanks to the operators and the service.

Young team, very fast and attentive and enjoy the job. The food was excellent! I would have easily eaten second helpings even though I was full 😁 A little tip: If you want to linger with a drink AFTER dinner in this cozy atmosphere, you need a smaller cheese plate or something else to snack on, as we like to react a little flexibly to guests' desires...

Don't be put off by the somewhat confusing names of the recipes; everything is delicious! I've been coming here for years and am always amazed at the consistent quality. Also in terms of operation. You can sit comfortably both inside and outside. Booking (well) in advance is recommended!

Cozy, cozy restaurant with very good food. You really feel like you've been transported back in time. Beautiful! Look at the great castle and then go to Mr. Käthe's for dinner. Perfect!!

At Easter without a reservation: we sat in the courtyard. The service was very friendly. The food was phenomenally delicious. However, this enjoyment also has its price. We had sweet potato soup, beef fillet and rump steak. Without exception, it was very well seasoned and cooked to perfection. Terrific.

We spontaneously ate in this small restaurant today and will definitely come back. The dining room was cozy, the service was top and the food was delicious.

We were very impressed. The menu offers very unusual dishes. Which were also delicious. The restaurant rooms are also very cozy and cozy. Our little dog was also greeted with a bowl of water. So all in all, highly recommended.

Ambience very rustic, service nice and accommodating BU
