Margarethe SCHÖNES LEBEN Restaurant in Gotha

Brilliant food and super nice staff

Super nicely decorated restaurant with a positive atmosphere. We are in Gotha for the first time and were warmly welcomed and looked after by Mrs. Pietsch. She is very attentive and also offered me sauce with the dumplings, even though this was not included in the price. So top service and top food!

Nice ambience, attentive service, good food. Everything was fine. Thank you! We'd love to come back.

Full 5 stars for a really great restaurant. We went there spontaneously for lunch on the weekend. The service was extremely friendly. We ordered 2 x fish and the goose leg from the daily menu. I have rarely eaten such a delicious leg of goose. The fish was also excellent. Everything is fresh and visually appealing. Just great. The prices are absolutely justified for the level. We'll definitely be back!

The food and service were really on point. After a bit of confusion as to how to actually get in (this is better with the directions) we found ourselves in a really nice restaurant, modern but not intrusive. We were given very nice, very nice places and we were also told where the stroller could stand. But that wasn't the problem, the space between the tables is generous, you don't sit on the lap of the person sitting next to you. By the way, it's different than with the person sitting next to you! I don't fully understand why, with a fairly expensive furniture design, both chairs don't fit under the table and so one has to sit quite far away. But the restaurant can't help it. A beautiful and completely sufficient menu, expanded to include a page with seasonal specialties, a well-stocked wine list, and a good mix of fish, meat and vegetarian were convincing. The quality of the 3 meals was very good. Special praise for the game goulash, a tiny criticism of the dumplings. Very tasty but too firm for Thuringians. But especially in better restaurants, soggy dumplings are often viewed as unsubtle, even if it would be more correct. What was particularly highlighted was the very good service across the board. Courteous but not stiff, it was particularly fun. Conclusion: We look forward to our next visit!

Great lunch at fair prices. Nothing to complain about.

We were here - goose leg on November 22nd, 2024. Very good quality of the food. Service was always friendly even though there was a lot to do. Particularly delicious pistachio shot. Would love to come back. The restaurant's furnishings are modern and attractive. Down-to-earth Thuringian cuisine served in a modern way. See you soon...

We were here for the first time and I have to say we were very satisfied. Food 10/10 Friendliness 10/10 Restaurant 10/10 Obstler 15/10 Very nice team… Keep it up

The food was delicious and the staff was friendly

Went for goose dinner this evening. Everything was of excellent quality and tasted delicious. The service was very attentive, I can only recommend this restaurant.

We spontaneously ate in this great restaurant! Very nice service! The food was delicious and well prepared! Thank you very much and keep it up! We will definitely be back!

Today we went to a birthday party in the beautiful Margarethe restaurant in Gotha. Everything was perfect all around: from the really delicious, freshly prepared food (with a great selection and also many vegetarian options) to the exceptionally beautiful ambience and the outstanding service. The latter deserves an extra sentence here, because the friendliness with which our birthday dinner was accompanied was truly extraordinary! The price-performance ratio is right here! We'd love to come back!

Wenn man sich etwas gönnen möchte, Atmosphäre, wohlschmeckende Gerichte für die Augen, die Sinne und den Magen, freundliche und kompetente Bedienung - komplettes Spektrum der Gastlichkeit. Dann ist dies der richtige Ort.

A beautiful à la carte restaurant, with very good, high quality food. The menu is clear and changes according to seasonal offerings. The restaurant therefore guarantees good quality and a reason to come back. The waitresses are very competent and friendly. The prices are very reasonable and fair. We would be happy to come back and recommend it!

Very nice restaurant, modern and cozy atmosphere, service was excellent, food was very good, there is only a small downside because the salmon was overcooked. We'd love to come back.

Everything very clean. Great staff. Excellent food. A public restaurant integrated into the assisted living facility.

Nice friendly staff food was great come back.

Very nice restaurant with very tasty seasonal dishes at reasonable prices. The service was very friendly. We'd love to come back!

The food was very tasty, the service was extremely friendly and the atmosphere made you want to linger. We would love to come back.

Since it is better to order in advance, it is advisable to announce any intolerances in advance. The kitchen staff can then deal with the situation and prepare something delicious. That's how it was in our case. We enjoyed Margarethe's and liked the service, we'll be back for a long time 😉.

Yes, this is a really nice restaurant with very pleasant service and atmosphere. The prices are also completely acceptable. LG Tommy

The combination of a senior residence and an elegant restaurant is unusual. The ladies serving us were charmingly attentive and active. The restaurant is stylishly decorated. We found the bright light from the stairwell, which shone through the large double doors, a bit disturbing. The last whistle was missing during dinner. Unfortunately, the sauce for the cheeks and roulade was not the result of long braising. Still, it was a nice meal.

Very great service and the food was very tasty.. :)

My husband and I can only say positive things about this restaurant. We were in town for two days for a concert. I really wanted to eat Thuringian dumplings and we didn't have many options. This restaurant no longer had a la carte from 6 p.m. due to a barbecue evening. We still got our food and it tasted fantastic! Clear recommendation!

Great location, delicious food, attentive staff 😊

A modern but comfortably furnished restaurant. The service was very friendly, attentive and accommodating. The food was very tasty and absolutely reasonable in price. There was also an attractive “autumn menu” with seasonal dishes. We felt very comfortable there and would be happy to recommend you to others 🫶🏽😊

Very nice restaurant, incredibly nice, attentive and professional service, and delicious plus creative food. We'd love to come back.

From online reservation to payment (also with credit card) almost perfect! Very stylish atmosphere, top service and excellent food. Just please bring the wine list to the table the next time you visit. Because there is no question that there will be a next time!

Great cuisine, very tasty food and incredibly nice service... what more could you want?😃

We were there for the first time today. The restaurant is very tastefully and comfortably furnished. Everything is clean and tidy. The food was great. I can highly recommend the wild herb salad with nuts and quinoa. In principle, everyone can find something on the map. Just great. The service was courteous, friendly and quick. There is a parking garage nearby, from which you can reach the restaurant in about 2 minutes on foot.

Very good service and very tasty food 👍🏼

Very tasty food and very nice service

After visiting the castle, take a walk into the old town to enjoy very good German cuisine in this restaurant. We had ox cheeks (very tender with delicious jus) with dumplings and vegetables as well as three kinds of homemade dumplings (tomato, cheese, spinach) with a side salad. But then came the icing on the cake: the homemade ice cream (see picture): chocolate orange, vanilla tonka bean, savory pumpkin ice cream, cherry chili. We had the feeling that we were sitting in a gourmet restaurant. This was due to the many fresh ingredients and flavors, but also to the very nice service. By the way: we also really liked the simple and elegant restaurant interior. We can highly recommend the restaurant and would be happy to come back!!

Very friendly service staff. The food was very good, the taste and quantity were tip top. The restaurant was very well maintained, clean and modernly furnished. Overall really nice and recommended. It was also very well attended. The reservation via Google also worked. What could be improved is appropriate music for the food and the ambience (no radio if possible). The view from the restaurant, through the double doors (directly onto the elevator where people are constantly getting in and out with boxes and cleaning buckets) could be improved by closing the door or placing a large screen in front of it so that the restaurant's guests do not have to walk into the brightly lit hallway have to look. You could then enter the restaurant past the screen on the right and left. I also didn't think the uniform of the friendly waitress was appropriate for the restaurant, so a chic black blazer, etc. could be used. Create a remedy. This med. In my opinion, the top didn't fit into the nice restaurant. I liked the fact that the chefs served in their chef uniforms.

From the ambience to the food 10 out of 10. Very nice service and extremely good food.

It was just very fitting. The service was very nice and accommodating. We chose the daily tip of roast venison with dumplings and red cabbage. The food tasted great. I can really only recommend it.

Very nicely decorated and a very pleasant atmosphere. The service was great. Everything was explained very clearly, any special requests are no problem. The food was also very good. All in all, highly recommended.

Super nice staff, great ambience and excellent food. We were there for a birthday dinner, all of the wishes discussed in advance were fulfilled - our expectations were exceeded.

Very good vegetarian options and very friendly service

We had a very nice evening in the restaurant. Great atmosphere, delicious food and very friendly, attentive employees - simply recommended! Thank you very much!!

We were there for dinner. We liked it very much, Good food, nice staff. We can only recommend it.

Great service, great food. Absolute recommendation!

The food was very nicely prepared and tasted excellent. Service was very friendly and attentive. Absolutely recommended. We'll be back.

Great modern restaurant in an age-appropriate dormitory. As a result, the restaurant is, completely wrongly, not perceived as a public restaurant. The furnishings are modern, with great pictures of the royal city. The food is fantastic. The staff very accommodating. Another real insider tip in the center of Gotha. A visit is worth it.

Super nice restaurant. Great ambience. Food was very tasty.

Zum wiederholten Mal waren wir in diesem tollen Restaurant und ganz sicher nicht zum letzten Mal! Hier stimmt einfach alles: Service, Ambiente, vorzügliches Essen!!! Für uns das beste Restaurant in Gotha! Danke das es euch gibt!!!

It was perfect. Responsive and friendly service. The dish is hearty and very good. The premises very beautiful, the toilets very clean. And the bill, very correct.

We had lunch on Saturday with a small birthday group. The food was absolutely perfect without any complaints, the service was top friendly and professional. We'll be back and can only give one piece of advice: "go!"

Food delicious, service very attentive. Unfortunately the weather was extremely hot and a bit too warm inside

Delicious food, friendly service, great ambience. Everything perfect👍

A really recommended restaurant. A pearl in the city of Gotha. Great and friendly service, the food is a delight and the atmosphere is very nice and inviting. “Beautiful life” is lived here.

Invited here for dinner when Grandma was visiting, not the first and certainly not the last time. Thank you, the roulade was delicious again. Very nice guest room and also very child-friendly.

A real insider tip in Gotha's old town that we came across by chance. Modern and pleasant atmosphere. Friendly and thoughtful service. Fresh cuisine with a small menu where everyone should find something. Price/performance is top. Our Thuringian Rostbrätl with fried potatoes was great. Gladly again at any time.

Very nice atmosphere, very nice relaxed wine evening!

We were thrilled and will definitely come back.

Was there for a visit, very great atmosphere and everything luxury. Very great employees

Ein ruhiges und angenehmes Restaurant. Kleine Karte aber recht gut. Jederzeit zu empfehlen

A nice “small” cozy restaurant (in our opinion). Friendly and nice staff, the food (lunch) was very good and the soups can be recommended. We'll definitely come by again. Thanks

Great ambience, delicious food, friendly team - top recommendation!

Only recommended. Really great service and makes you feel good. A visit is worthwhile. Very great and warm team.

Super delicious food, stylish restaurant and warm hosts - THANK YOU! It was pure enjoyment.

Wir hatten eine leckerschmecker Salatbowl zum Mittagessen. Diese war ausgewogen, gesund und perfekt im Geschmack. Das Lokal ist wunderschön und die Bedienung äusserst freundlich.

Very tasty, very clean and a nice atmosphere!

Finally a restaurant that can close Gotha's luxury gap.

Great atmosphere, very nice and attentive service, but the food we ordered didn't fit the atmosphere at all. 17.90 for a schnitzel with cold potato salad and carelessly undressed rocket as decoration and for dessert, spray cream on the dessert with a few rolling sour cherries for the tonga bean parfait left us very disappointed.

We have felt very comfortable here. Very pleasant, stylish atmosphere, very friendly, courteous service, super delicious food. We can give our best recommendation and will definitely be happy to come back again.

Well maintained, comfortable, and a good deal.

We were guests on December 26th & will come again. Food freshly prepared, service great & toilet clean. Well-inviting atmosphere! Bravo keep it up 👌👏 LG. from South Tyrol 🙋

Nice place to eat and rest. Top service, very clean and very decent Thuringian food. Any time.

We went to the Spanish wine evening today. Very well done. Food great. The wine selection was very successful A wonderful evening, we would love to come back

Durch die guten Bewertungen haben wir uns entschieden hier zu essen. Ambiente und Personal ist sehr gut. Besonders die Bedienung ist lobenswert.Das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis der Gerichte entsprach dann leider nicht unseren Erwartungen.

Wir wurden sehr freundlich und offen in Empfang genommen und sofort haben wir uns wohl gefühlt. Sowohl das Ambiente, das sehr leckere Essen, die absolut liebenswerte Bedienung als auch die perfekt sauberen sanitären Anlagen- hier stimmt aus unserer Sicht einfach alles . Vielen Dank, wir kommen gern wieder und sprechen eine klare Empfehlung aus

Essen war erstklassig.. Super nette Bedienung …Und ein sehr schönes Ambiente .. wir kommen sehr gerne mal wieder in das schöne Restaurant in Gotha‘s Innenstadt

Durch die guten Bewertungen angelockt, haben wir Mittag gegessen. Ambiente und Service ist gut, das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis der Gerichte entsprach dann leider nicht unseren Erwartungen.

Die beiden Male die wir hier waren, lassen sich wie folgt beschreiben: Guter Preis, leckeres Essen, freundliche und zuvorkommende Bedienung. Sehr babyfreundlich - wir kommen gern wieder.

Wir sind durch Zufall nur dort hingekommen und werden auf jeden Fall nicht das letzte Mal da gewesen sein. Trotz, dass wir sehr knapp waren, hatten wir noch wahnsinnig leckeres Mittagessen - für einen angemessenen Preis. Das Ambiente ist außergewöhnlich gut und finde das gesamte Konzept sehr schön. Bis bald Mal wieder.

Sehr schönes Restaurant, ganz aufmerksames und nettes Personal und sehr leckeres Essen!Wir waren begeistert und kommen wieder!Familie Ehrhardt

Es war ein tolles Restaurant. Die Mitarbeiter waren sehr freundlich und das Essen super lecker. Und es ist sehr modern/ gemütlich. Wir kommen gern wieder.

Ein schönes Ambiente ein super Essen und ein sehr freundlicher und zuvorkommender Service. Ein Top Restaurant

Grandioses Essen in einem tollen Ambiente und einer sehr sehr netten Bedienung. Hier kommen wir gerne wieder! Das Essen ist perfekt! Sehr zu empfehlen.

Wir haben den vielen guten Rezessionen vertraut und wurden absolut nicht enttäuscht. Das Essen war sehr lecker und reichhaltig, das Ambiente ist modern im Retrostil und wir wurden sehr nett bedient. Gegessen haben wir die Sojanka, das Röstbrätl mit Kartoffelsalat und die Rinderroulade. Wir werden bei unserem nächsten Besuch in Gotha auf jeden Fall wiederkommen.

So ein hübsches und geschmackvoll gestaltetes Restaurant, welches wir in jeder Beziehung nur empfehlen können.

Leckeres Essen, gemütliches Ambiente und freundliches Personal. Sehr gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis.

Waren spontan hier und haben uns von den positiven Google Bewertungen anlocken lassen und wurden nicht enttäuscht. Man fühlt sich wie im vier Sterne Hotel und der Service ist super herzlich und aufmerksam. Essen war auch sehr gut. Hatten die vegetarischen Maultaschen und waren von der Menge an verschiedenen Zutaten überrascht. Ernährungsphysiologisch sehr wertvoll und genau die richtige Portionsmenge. Preis Leistung ist spitze. Man kann hier was kleines für 6€ oder was größeres für ~15€ essen.

Eine Bereicherung für die Gothaer Innenstadt! Ich war heute mit meinen Eltern spontan hier essen. Der Empfang war sehr herzlich und wir konnten uns einen Platz aussuchen. Das Ambiente ist sehr geschmackvoll mit vielen historischen Bildern von Gotha. Okay, die Auswahl ist nicht riesig, was aber auf eine frische Küche hinwies. Als dann das Essen kam, war die Optik schon sehr überzeugend und der Geschmack ließ keine Wünsche offen. Der Koch hat sein Handwerk definitiv drauf. Preis-Leistung ist top. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Das Essen war ganz okay. Der Service scheinbar überrascht, obwohl vorbestellt war und die Preise wie in der Großstadt

Tolle Lokalität. Super nette Menschen

Die Bedienung war super, das Essen auch klasse. Kann man sehr empfehlen

Das Restaurant hat ein wunderschönes Ambiente. Das Team ist sehr aufmerksam, kompetent und freundlich. Man fühlt sich, fast wie zu Hause. Das Speiseangebot ist gut und man nimmt auch kleine Verbesserungsvorschläge entgegen, was wir sehr schätzen. Wir sind hier gern zu Gast und fühlen uns rundum wohl.

Wir waren heute wieder einmal hier essen. Es war seh lecker und die Karte ist bei jedem Besuch etwas anders. Das Personal ist freundich und fix. Wir kommen gerne her.

Sehr stilvoll eingerichtet. Gute und freundliche Bedienung. Essen sehr gut.

Sehr gutes Essen in einer sehr schönen Umgebung. Toller Service.

Sehr schön gelegenes Restaurant mitten in der City mit echt gutem deutschen Essen. Die Angestellten sind nett, das "Outfit“ ist bestens eingerichtet. Ein paar Stunden sind dort schnell vergangen. Kann man beruhigt weiter empfehlen.

Schöne Atmosphäre und leckeres Essen und angenehme Preise 👍👍

Leckeres Essen, nettes Personal, schöne Atmosphäre. Wir waren rundum zufrieden.

Habe mehrfach im Restaurant von SCHÖNES LEBEN Gotha gegessen, war immer sehr gut.Auch den Service kann man nur loben. Selbst Sonderwünsche, wie Rote Grütze mit Vanilleeis, die nicht auf der Karte standen, wurden erfüllt. Wir waren rundum zufrieden. Ein Dank an Küche und Servicepersonal. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Sehr zentral gelegenes Restaurant mit guter deutscher Küche. Sehr nettes und fachliches Personal. Frisch zubereitet Speisen mit Produkten aus der Region.

In diesem Restaurant haben wir unser Mittagessen in einem sehr schönen Ambiente genossen. Das Esser war frisch und sehr lecker und der Service freundlich und zuvorkommend. Wir kommen gerne wieder.
