HOFLIEFERANT in Magdeburg

We're repeat customers. Beautiful ambiance, excellent food, and great service. We'll be returning. 😉

Unfortunately, I can't recommend this place anymore! Service was poor (but friendly); we waited 10-15 minutes for the first drink, and we had to ask for the second. I ordered duck soup with fine herbs and beans as a starter. It tasted neither like duck nor had any herbs, and it was too salty! My companion's starter was also mediocre. The main course, wild boar with dumplings, was okay, but nothing up to the standards of fine dining; I could have managed it myself. The visit was disappointing; I won't be going back. Better to go to a Greek or Croatian restaurant; you know what you're getting and you're guaranteed to be full.

Always happy to come back. Great, delicious seasonal and regional dishes.

Nice small restaurant with great quality locally sourced food, and several tasty vegetarian dishes. Would definitely visit again.

A flat greeting from the kitchen. The Tempranillo wine we ordered was expensive, but unrecognizable as such and mediocre at best. The duck soup was thin but salty. The duck and goat cheese taco was far too overpowering; what looked delicious on the menu unfortunately lacked flavor. The venison main course was okay in terms of meat, dumplings, and sauce, but the accompanying fried chard slowed things down. The beer was tasty, but really not enough at that price. Unfortunately, something seems to have changed—not for the better.

A beautiful, soulful place in the heart of Magdeburg. Excellent cuisine and a friendly, attentive service team made our stay an unforgettable experience!

A beautiful, unpretentious restaurant in a venerable building near the cathedral, with a garden for warmer days when you want to enjoy a warm meal. The cuisine is modern, with seasonal vegetables and something special; nothing tastes too special—all in all, a superb tasting experience. The Riesling from the Pawis winery, also almost from the region, is a very good choice. The staff is consistently friendly and has a great way of answering questions about the dish. Highly recommended; be sure to make a reservation if you want to have a good time there.

We weren't satisfied yesterday. There was paper in our appetizer and some bones in the fish. It can happen, but we would have liked the server to at least apologize. Unfortunately, we were told that bones are part of the fish... and paper doesn't belong in the food, even though it was still on the plate. This reaction was completely unacceptable. Unfortunately, it significantly diminished the overall impression for us.

Very nice ambiance and great regional food. Thank you for the lovely evening. Manja & Dominik from Berlin🍀

Beautiful restaurant Very attentive service Excellent food Would gladly return

We had a wonderful birthday celebration with fine gourmet cuisine and fine wines. The staff spoiled us. My guests were impressed by the beautiful location and the thoughtful table decorations, and special requests were accommodated and implemented superbly. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and would gladly return. Best regards, Diana Matzen

An incredibly lovely evening with fantastic food and ambiance. We had the vegan dishes and loved them.

very good quality and very good service

Easy online reservation, very friendly welcome, great service, excellent food, and a beautiful ambiance. We would love to come back.

Very cozy, tucked away in a quiet location. We'll definitely be back.

Simply a dream and highly recommended!

A perfect evening all around. The food was simply wonderful! The service was simply spot on for me. She was there when you needed her, always courteous but not intrusive. I'm looking forward to my next visit to the Hoflieferant restaurant in Magdeburg.

An absolute recommendation. We were pleasantly surprised. Great location, very friendly staff, and, above all, really good food. We'd love to come back!

We had a wonderful seat in the garden tucked away behind the cathedral. Excellent service and delicious food rounded off the evening.

We celebrated a wedding here. Everything went perfectly...

Very nice garden on several levels 😎👍

We love visiting this restaurant and always feel very comfortable there. Unfortunately, yesterday, for the first time, some of the food wasn't quite as convincing. My chard quiche was very tasty and generously sized. My husband chose the meatballs, but unfortunately, he felt they lacked a filling side dish. That didn't leave us feeling full or satisfied when we went home. What a shame.

A beautiful, unique, idyllically located restaurant. The service is very warm and friendly. The food is very fine and regionally sourced. I really like that. Exquisite dishes, wines, and drinks round out a wonderful visit to the court purveyor in Magdeburg. I highly recommend the restaurant. Simply perfect.

We had a wonderful school entrance ceremony, without any stress because everything was taken care of.

We like the regionality of the menu and the creativity of the chefs. The price-performance ratio is fantastic. The service takes time for each guest and special requests are also fulfilled. Always a special highlight.

We felt completely at home and the food was excellent! We also really enjoyed the service, and we will definitely be back soon!

It was wonderful! A discreet yet charming ambiance, a warm, personal welcome, high-quality food, a menu featuring select regional products, and consistently warm service at the table.

Very good location, great food and drinks and extremely friendly staff

We were very disappointed. At this time of year, dried grasses were used as table decorations.

A very pleasant atmosphere, friendly and attentive service. The food was delicious, and the prices were absolutely fair. We felt completely at home – we'd be happy to return!

Everything was perfect. We'll definitely be back.

A truly fantastic restaurant! The food was outstanding—fresh, flavorful, and lovingly prepared. The atmosphere is very pleasant and inviting. I would especially like to emphasize the service: extremely courteous, friendly, and attentive. I would love to come back!

It's certainly much nicer outside. Due to the weather, we had a table inside the restaurant. The service was perfect. The food wasn't bad, but not worth the price. The starters were also included in the main course.

We had a small but wonderful wedding reception at the Hoflieferant restaurant. Despite the constant rain, the excellent service and wonderful food saved our day and gave us unforgettable moments. Our guests were also very impressed with the food. Both the meat and fish dishes, as well as the vegan dishes, were lovingly and aesthetically presented and very tasty. You can taste the high quality of the ingredients. The Hoflieferant restaurant has gained quite a few fans.

Really the best restaurant in town.

I was 30 minutes early, was tired, and just wanted to rest in the beer garden and wait until they opened. I'm supposed to come back in 30 minutes; I ate somewhere else.

Unfortunately, we have to give the food fewer stars. We ordered a meat and a poultry dish. Both were beautifully presented, tasted very good, and were plentiful. However, the poultry returned during the night in the form of severe diarrhea and vomiting! We wouldn't order poultry there again on our next visit.

The food, service, and ambiance were very good. However, I would have liked a larger selection of dishes.

What a fantastic location. We dined together and had a wonderful view of Magdeburg Cathedral outside. The food was equally delicious. After the burrata with a strawberry salad—delicious—we enjoyed a fish stew and the chicken. Everything was very lovingly prepared. Furthermore, we had very polite and attentive service. All in all, very nice :-)

The "Hoflieferant" restaurant in Magdeburg is my favorite place when I want to dine in a pleasant atmosphere. A green, somewhat enchanted oasis right near the cathedral and the Elbe River. The dishes are cooked according to the Slow Food tradition, using regional produce. Vegetarians and vegans won't go hungry either. Selected international wines, as well as those from the Saale-Unstrut region, are also available. And if you're still thirsty at the end, you can purchase them on site at a fair price. Also worth mentioning are the attentive, friendly ladies in the service department, who were always attentive to the guests' needs. I'm already looking forward to my next visit and wish the owner and the entire team a wonderful summer – see you again.

It was the last stop on a wine tour through Magdeburg and here we had the main course, a dessert and an excellent glass of wine!

Very good restaurant with reasonable prices.

Gern buche ich das Restaurant Hoflieferant für meine Veranstaltungen. Der Service ist topp, das Preis/Leistungsverhältnis stimmig, die Küche sehr kreativ und bewusst regional. Das Ambiente im verwunschenen Garten bezaubert und der Blick auf Magdeburgs historische Mauern beeindruckt. Meine Gäste, meine Partner und ich kommen gern wieder und wünschen der Gastronomin und ihren super Team weiterhin alles Gute, Erfolg und wertschätzende Restaurantbesucher!

Friendly welcome Good service We ate very well

It was a fantastic evening with culinary delights, friendly staff and very good music.

Very tasty and very accommodating. Highly recommended. I had previously informed them that it was our tenth wedding anniversary, and our table was beautifully set. Thank you so much for that and the culinary experience.

It was fantastic. The best wine tasting I've ever had. The food was, as always, outstanding, and the service is simply the best 😉 Everything was lovingly and stylishly prepared. A thoroughly enjoyable evening. Thank you very much.

The ambiance was great. The service too. BUT! We ordered the Piccolo winemaker's platter for four people. The platter, at €22 per person, was a joke. This cheese platter (see photo) cost €88. I just shake my head. What a shame.

One of the best restaurants in Magdeburg. Wonderful dishes are conjured up with love and creativity using regional and seasonal produce. A small menu, high quality. Vegetarians will also find something to their liking here. The ambiance, hidden beneath the cathedral in the medieval part of Magdeburg, is dreamy – especially in the outdoor seating area. Inside, it's a bit more cramped and can get noisy. But the culinary delights more than make up for it.

The building dates back to 1850, and the "Purveyor to the Court" will celebrate its 10th anniversary in 2025. I/we have made approximately 6-8 visits during this period. Project meetings, our own celebrations, friends' celebrations, as was the case recently, or simply a meal for two. First, the positive: The ambiance on the historic Fürstenwall with a view of the cathedral is uniquely beautiful. One of the very best locations in the city. The service is usually friendly and attentive. If they can't fulfill requests, and that unfortunately does happen, it's usually the fault of the kitchen. Over the years, the owners have all too often shown a lack of luck here. While their own standards in the selection of ingredients, their preparation, and especially their visual presentation have always been exceptional, their overambition often corresponded with the unattainable due to a lack of skill. I ate what felt like the best salad dressing of my life here many years ago. They wouldn't tell me the recipe. So it remains their secret how occasional strokes of genius and frequent unprofessional preparation of main courses fit together. Too often we left this restaurant disappointed. Most recently at a confirmation celebration. If we had been there privately, we would have immediately sent back one of the main courses offered. Who says dumplings have to be served so dry and then the kitchen refuses to add more sauce when another guest asks for it? The second main course of chicken was at least not worth mentioning. Not to be misunderstood, it wasn't bad but it also fell far short of their own standards. We immediately dismissed the option of an early (private) return following an organized wine tasting this summer.

All in all, a well-deserved 5 stars! Foodies will definitely get their money's worth. Regional and seasonal dishes were on the menu, perfectly prepared and lovingly presented. We had a lovely warm summer evening, so we sat outside. The rose bushes and the entire ambiance conjured up a special flair for the evening. The service was extremely friendly and very attentive. Many thanks to the entire staff!

We've celebrated many parties there, and it's always been perfectly organized. Thank you, dear Hoflieferant team.

From the food to the ambience... it's always a pleasure.

Unfortunately, due to the weather, we couldn't sit outside in the garden, so we had a table inside for two. The service was friendly and attentive, but not intrusive. The atmosphere was relaxed, not hectic like you'd expect from other restaurants. The food was delicious, beautifully presented, and the ingredients were perfectly balanced. The main course took a while to arrive, but you have to keep in mind that the food is locally sourced and fresh, and you can taste it. The menu is quite concise, which is one of the reasons why. We'd definitely be happy to come back.

Excellent food. Great service. The ambiance was a bit disappointing. It was our first time here. We'll definitely be back. But make sure you reserve a table at least two to three weeks in advance.

The restaurant has a very nice outdoor area. We reserved a table online at short notice and were assigned a sunny spot with a great view of the city's architecture. The service was very friendly and attentive, and the menu offers a good selection, which is also recommended for vegetarians. The chef's special and the food were creative, fresh, and delicious. Card payments are accepted, but tips must be paid in cash. Highly recommended!

We had a great evening with great service and very good food.

A very pleasant evening in the garden with a very good friend. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed delicious food and drinks. Many thanks to the team at the Hoflieferanten (Purveyor to the Court).

Currently serving delicious asparagus dishes. We're regular guests here and have never been disappointed. When the weather's nice, you can sit under beautiful roses. 100% recommended!

This was my second time there. It's beautifully hidden and has a great atmosphere. The food is regional and seasonal. The service is excellent. Highly recommended. I'm already looking forward to the next time.

Great regional food with that certain something. Truly attentive service, and when the weather's great, you can sit in the beautiful garden with a view of parts of the cathedral. What more could you want?! We'll be back again and again.

The food was delicious and prepared with love. The service was very friendly. A real insider tip!

On May 22, 2025, we visited the Hoflieferant restaurant for culinary Scandinavia and enjoyed a Nordic menu evening. The food and drinks were delicious. And as always, the owner and her team made sure we felt completely at home. See you soon!!! :-)))

It was a lovely place in a beautiful location. Those expecting ordinary home cooking will be surprised by the extraordinary food. It was very tasty and a delight.

We were a group of 12 people who hadn't seen each other in a while. The mood was great; we all felt very comfortable. This was partly due to the top-notch food, service, and atmosphere.

As always, we had a wonderful day at the Hoflieferanten!

Class reunion with style. A sense of security between heaven and earth. Thank you for the first-class support.

Simply wonderful! Food super well prepared and delicious. Very good wines. Nice events. You feel right at home here!

We had pre-booked a table on our last evening of our stay in Magdeburg (I think it's recommended). We had the Abenbrot thali & the asparagus cream soup as starters. As a main course, the roasted belly of Havelland apple pig and the ragout of roe deer from the Genthin forests. Simply excellent! A bit of a different (in a positive way) cuisine than anywhere else. Definitely take a look!

The visit was totally worth it. The food was excellent and the service was friendly and accommodating. It's a bit hidden, which made it a little difficult to find, but adds extra charm to the already beautiful location. Considering the quality of the food and the good service, the prices are reasonable. Conclusion: Clear recommendation!

Small, fine restaurant with very good cuisine and the best service

I always find it particularly beautiful

Everything was well prepared for a seminar group meeting. Great food. Friendly and competent service. Always happy again.

The food was incredibly tasty, the service was very friendly

Wonderful food and lovely wine pairing!

Most of the dishes in restaurants meet my expectations. In this restaurant they were surpassed. I found it very tasty. 😘

Great food, great service, great restaurant. We have been there many times and will come back many more times as the purveyor to the court never disappoints. The dishes are unique and a real pleasure, which are wonderfully accompanied by perfectly matched wines. The staff are always up for a laugh and a nice chat, you immediately feel at home. I would like to give more than 5 stars because the Hoflieferant team really deserves it.

The Easter menu for 64 euros was appropriate for the occasion, but not outstanding. The service was polite but not professional enough for a restaurant of this class. In addition, no bread was served, which I would have expected in this price range. Overall, the price-performance ratio was disappointing, especially in comparison to Landhaus Hadrys, with which the restaurant has to compete in its price range.

A great restaurant with a manageable menu but excellent food. A MUST for special occasions. We were absolutely satisfied. Natural flowers would be more appropriate for table decoration in this restaurant.

A beautiful restaurant that offers something for every taste! Vegetarian, vegan, fish, meat, everyone will be happy! Regional suppliers, seasonal products that are processed creatively and to a high quality. Attentive, competent and courteous service. Absolute recommendation in Magdeburg!

As always, very tasty and special.

I ordered a table online through the website for P2 for the 22nd. At the same time I asked you to decorate it with a little flower. It was our first visit to the court supplier and I can say it was a feast for the palate, the senses and all other sensory organs. It was delicious. The table was lovingly set - the service was great. The food from the starter to the dessert - simply fantastic. Afterwards, we stocked up on a few bottles of wine from the entrance area and left satisfied and happy. A real treat - absolutely recommended. Thank you for this great evening.

We had a lovely evening at the Hoflieferant. A cute little restaurant with fine cuisine. Great for my wife: non-alcoholic aperitifs and cocktails are no problem there either. A dream in summer with the small terrace.

Cozy atmosphere. High quality food. Very nice service staff. Recommended.

Very nice restaurant near the cathedral. The service is very friendly and attentive. The ambience is pleasant. The food and drink menu is manageable but there should be something for everyone. The portions are enough to fill you up. The dishes are deliciously seasoned and beautifully presented; But in my opinion it's slightly overpriced.

We ate at the Hoflieferant again today, everything was very tasty and the service was great, highly recommended.

Very tasty dishes made from regional and seasonal ingredients. Fresh and surprising combinations of the individual ingredients. Very nice and courteous staff without being intrusive. Is an absolute recommendation.

We were given a voucher and were skeptical at first. Then take a look at the map. Hmm... well let's see. Service was very friendly and accommodating. And the food convinced us. Was very very tasty! Absolutely recommended. Even if the compilations may sound unusual. Everything fit together perfectly and complemented each other perfectly. As I said, very, very tasty 😋.

Had dinner with friends from Düsseldorf. The selection on the menu and the quality were good as usual. The service was very customer oriented. Our guests were happy and it was a successful evening.

We had a very, very tasty meal. A fantastically innovative cuisine made from regional, seasonal ingredients. For me it was wonderful, surprising taste experiences - turnips with Brussels sprouts and kale... for dessert a vanilla mousse with bay leaves. Great!

Cozy atmosphere with a beautiful garden near the Elbe. Slow food cuisine with a decent wine selection. Definitely a recommendation

Very good seasonal regional cuisine, praise for the kitchen! Pleasant service and a great location for the restaurant. The decor upstairs has room for improvement (view of empty beverage crates, etc., low room temperature...), but extra points for the romantic little beer garden!

Highly recommended. A great restaurant to return to.

From the moment you enter the restaurant until you leave, the staff takes care of the guests and makes them feel at home.

Great ambience, great service and the dishes look very good. My starter soup (lentils) was great, the main meal was a bit too salty for me personally but everything was on point and the beef shoulder was a dream.

Very friendly, pleasant service. The food is seasonal, exceptional, and a real treat.

Food very tasty. Completely satisfied.

The five of us had a very nice evening with very good, innovative food. For us, one of the good restaurants in Magdeburg. The service is also very good.

It was a lovely evening with a great atmosphere. A highlight for the soul

We were there for a wine tasting with a 3-course menu. There is no other way to say that the evening was perfect. Great food and great wines. Very attentive service and everyone was friendly. Unfortunately, the only point I had to deduct was regarding the acoustics upstairs in the room. In the long run I found it quite loud due to the many conversations of the many guests. But of course that could just be a purely subjective feeling on my part. Otherwise absolutely recommended and we were certainly not there for the last time!
