MückenWirt Biergarten und Restaurant in Magdeburg

The food was simply fantastic! Fresh, delicious, and prepared with love.

THE MÜCKENWIRT ON THE ELBE Well, the MW is only partially suitable for a class reunion. A very lively group of people was sitting next to us at the same time, loudly exercising their vocal cords... It was almost impossible to communicate among us... The food selection was very limited. The interior design lacks any coziness. We wouldn't choose this venue for a class reunion again. Sincerely, W. Küsel

Beautiful beer garden on the Elbe River, pleasant interior, good food and drinks, and friendly staff.

The food is not so fresh in my opinion. The fries were very very salty and the prices are high.

We always enjoy our stay here on the Elbe. All the staff are always very friendly and the service is prompt. Since we always feel very comfortable, we came here today for a birthday dinner. The table was beautifully set. Drinks and food arrived promptly. Unfortunately, the food wasn't warm enough. Apart from a verbal expression of regret, nothing came. We were actually expecting a small gesture of apology, perhaps in the form of a free drink. It was also very loud there. The acoustics in the beautiful rooms could therefore be improved. All in all, though, a great day-trip restaurant on the Elbe.

Beautifully located on the Elbe River. We had a wonderful celebration and the staff were very friendly.

A restaurant with a beer garden. We went to the beer garden. Everything you'd expect from such a restaurant. Great location.

Due to a celebration at the restaurant, we only went to the beer garden, but it was good. Try the pasta salad, it's fantastic.

Well, I've been to better restaurants. We ordered schnitzel with fried potatoes, which, of course, they didn't have on offer. Ordered them anyway, but with a surcharge, and we got reheated fried potatoes, which I returned in full! It's a disgrace, not on the menu but served reheated. The mushrooms that came with it were lacking in flavor and lacked any shine. The one star is for the beer.

I've known the Mückenwirt for many years, and the space has expanded year after year. The food is great, whether it's brunch, a hot lunch, or from the grill. There's something for everyone. The staff is very friendly and attentive. You can sit inside or outside. The restrooms are very clean. After dinner, you can take a walk along the Elbe. From summer to fall, the Mückenwirt also hosts several events. It's a little corner where you can simply feel at home.

The Mückenwirt seems to have been around forever, and people always enjoy stopping by for a fine beer. The strongest argument in favor of the Mückenwirt is its unrivaled location as a beer garden directly on the riverbank, overlooking Rotehorn Park. In summer, lounge chairs invite you to relax with a cold drink. Of course, you can also enjoy a meal at the grill, play a round of miniature golf, or dine on the menu in the restaurant. We've met there several times as a group in the winter and were also satisfied with the food.

Great location right on the Elbe. We only had a few drinks.

I highly recommend it. Good value for money, delicious food, lovely ambiance, large grounds right on the Elbe River, very attentive and friendly service. I'd be happy to return.

This was the second time we visited the place during a cycling tour and we always find it very nice.

Great stop for thirsty cyclists right on the Elbe.

The food is delicious, though not exactly cheap. I can't rate the service highly enough, as we had to serve ourselves. The outdoor seating is quite nice with a view of the Elbe. It's a very popular area.

We only went to the beer garden that evening and sat right by the Elbe River. Self-service is OK, so I didn't rate the service category. There are always people who don't return their dishes/glasses, but they were cleared away regularly.

The location is truly idyllic and beautiful, right on the water, but unfortunately some of the staff were not very pleasant.

Very nice and friendly host and his entire crew.

Only in exceptional cases, Food and drinks too expensive, hardly any service, It's exaggerated to base the whole thing solely on the view of the Elbe...

Another wonderful experience this year. I'd love to come again.

I decided to stop by for lunch on a whim. I looked it up on TripAdvisor. Some of the food on the website menu wasn't available. A shame!

Beautifully situated on the Elbe, rustic and self-service

Great beer garden, friendly and attentive staff, and a lovely atmosphere right on the Elbe River. I'd go back anytime!

One of my favorite places in Magdeburg. Sitting outside by the Elbe with the family, enjoying a bratwurst and a cold beer... Always a pleasure! 👍🏻

Beautifully located on the Elbe, with covered seating and friendly staff.

I can definitely recommend the Mückenwirt; it has a great location, rustic food in the beer garden, and is a great place to relax.

The food was delicious. The service was excellent. Reservations are recommended due to the busy location right on the Wasserkreuz (water junction).

A very nice place to take a break on the Elbe Cycle Path and refuel. Very nicely located with super friendly staff.

Great location! The food—I had something from the grill station—didn't agree with me. The pasta salad had a lot of garlic, and the meatball was awful.

Beer garden right on the water or restaurant with a view of the water, both highly recommended.

I found it very spacious and uncomfortable, but it certainly depends on the various events. Oktoberfest, for example, would definitely appeal to some people, as long as you can still sit outside.

A very cool location right on the Elba. A very nice beer garden with various seating options.

A must-do when in MD. Ideally located on the Elbe Cycle Path, with occasional live music and a morning pint. The ferry to Rothehorn Park is right outside, as is MD's most famous and best ice cream parlor... Bordschneller. Both are worth a visit.

The food was generously portioned and very tasty. The waiters were understaffed. Drinks were cheaper and quicker outside than if you order inside. It was definitely a great place.

Very nice atmosphere, great location for a beer. Top

Stopped for a quick beer on the go. Nice and relaxed atmosphere, everything was great! :-)

Yes, great location on the water

A little holiday moment in the middle of everyday life! With a view of the shimmering Elbe River and the verdant city park, this is a wonderful place to unwind. An all-around perfect place to relax! The food is simply delicious, and the entire staff is extremely friendly. Particularly impressive: Even at 36°C outside, the grill staff always, truly always, have a smile on their faces – that's hospitality in action! Everything – from the restaurant to the restrooms to the outdoor areas – is clean and well-maintained. Our absolute favorite spot!

The beer garden was cozy in the evening. The grilled food was good. I can't comment on the interior.

The view and everything was very nice but the service was quite unfriendly.

We were here two evenings because it just worked out... unfortunately, we didn't have any luck in the restaurant on the first day, as there was a private event. But the beer garden was open and the grill was blazing hot, and the weather was simply fantastic. The second evening was River Night, so we came back, this time with great live music... great location, friendly service, right on the Elbe River and the bike path... always happy to come back.

We were here as part of the Riverside Night. Our first visit here. The outdoor seating was very good, and the ambiance was perfect. The atmosphere was good, the prices were high, and the food was also good.

My first visit here as a neighbor, very nice. The kitchen could perhaps be open later, but it's okay, you can manage and just have a drink. Good and fast service and fair prices – highly recommended!

Located directly on the beautiful Elbe River, it exudes rustic charm. The spacious outdoor area is ideal for families. The main building, built on stilts and protected from flooding, features a terrace, making it the perfect spot for watching ships, boats, and rafts pass by. A cool beer and a delicious meal—what more could you want? Sports broadcasts are shown on a giant LED screen outside.

With a gentle breeze and sunshine, it's a wonderful place to relax on the Elbe.

Yes, I highly recommend this place. It would be nice if they offered coffee outside as well. The surroundings at the Mückenwirt are perfect for walking, enjoying nature, or simply sitting and chatting with friends. The snacks offered are delicious and there's a good selection available. We love coming here and will be back again.

Highly recommended. Service is fast and friendly. Food is plentiful and delicious. Reservations are recommended for larger groups.

I was there today as a guest, and once as a delivery driver. The food was delicious, I can only recommend it, and the price was reasonable. We'll definitely be back.

Very pleasant atmosphere and good food, especially our waiter Kostas rounded off the evening.

Large portions, beautifully presented, and super tasty. Good value for money.

Six of us dined there, and everyone was happy with the food. Everything from the rump steak to the farmer's breakfast is highly recommended. All of this, including drinks and tips, cost us €170. 😁 The service was excellent, always friendly and up for a joke, thanks Costa. The ambiance was simply fantastic; we sat overlooking the Elbe. All in all, the MückenWirt is highly recommended. We'll be back, thank you for everything.

Absolutely thrilled, the restaurant is upscale and natural, a bit pricey but very tasty. If you want good food, you have to pay the price. I've saved it and would gladly come back anytime. Great, keep it up.

What would the world be without Uli? #oncealever

Very friendly service, incredibly delicious schnitzel, and a very large portion. I haven't had such a good meal in a long time. And the view of the Elbe River was also magnificent. Definitely worth recommending.

A very nice beer garden located right on the Elbe River. I highly recommend the grill station. Several salads to choose from, meatballs, neck steak, and bratwurst are available. All delicious!

It's always nice to take a break here after a bike ride.

Super delicious food and very friendly service. We go there every now and then and we've always enjoyed it.

A must-visit. Friendly staff, well-maintained facility.

The restaurant is in a good location (on the Elbe River), but the prices are quite high. I found it simply too expensive for what you get (although it was tasty). A slightly wider selection of main courses would be recommended.

Great atmosphere and good food. Gladly again.

Anything from the grill is not recommended. Outdoor seating.

I only visited the beer garden, but the view was beautiful and the service was friendly. The grilled food was delicious and juicy.

The food was excellent! It was very loud at times at the next table. We had reserved a table that wasn't ready when we arrived. The server, named Kosta, was very unfriendly. The colleague who served us afterward was the complete opposite. Otherwise, a lovely afternoon.

In my opinion, the service was understaffed. The appetizer came before the drinks. That's very unusual. The subsequent rounds of drinks also took a while. The main course was served very quickly. However, the waiter can't stand behind the guests and call out "ox" for the ox cheeks. You should have something to eat instead, stand in front of them, and reasonably ask who gets what. The schnitzel looked like it had been deep-fried, as it was evenly browned, and the mushroom cream sauce was, in my opinion, tasteless. Either it's pre-made or it's a convenience product. It's also a shame that smoking is permitted on the terrace, and the smoke drifts into the dining room through the open windows.

Beautiful location, whether in the restaurant, on the terrace, or by the water, the top-notch team is always friendly, and a little chat is always welcome. We feel very comfortable and welcome there. Whether as an individual or in a large group, they're great.

After walking away from another restaurant ended up here. Atmospherically decorated restaurant, friendly service, fast service and delicious food!

Big company party Celebrated there was great

If you like unfriendliness and bad wine. Okay.

Taking a break right by the water with a cool drink and a snack. Simply great 👍🏻

Mückenwirt Restaurant The food was lukewarm, and cutlery didn't arrive for about 10 minutes after several requests, making the food even colder. The carrots in the ox cheek weren't thawed properly. Some of the salmon fillet and turkey pieces were already hard. Everything was oversalted and tasted more like a convenience store item. If we had eaten a grilled sausage downstairs, we would have been full and saved €130.

The food and service were okay. The location was very nice.

A place for a snack of steak, bratwurst, and a few side dishes. Rustic seating. Views of the Elbe River. Drink prices are a bit high for a snack. Located on the bike path, making it easy to reach.

What a beautiful location! We celebrated our 10th-grade graduation here for the fourth time. As always, we were well looked after, the food was delicious, and the service was wonderful and attentive. We felt completely at home and would love to come back.

The food was very tasty, but the portion was too small for me, hence only four stars.

My child's graduation party took place there. The organization was so terrible. €65 per ticket for a buffet for 300+ people, too few seats, no program, no proper music, and of course, you had to pay for drinks yourself (even water in 30-degree heat). I've never experienced such a poor event. Horrible.

The food is tasty and filling. The service is a bit unorganized, but maybe it's because the youth are still learning. Beautiful view of the river, great atmosphere, but the mosquitoes are a bit stinging - what could you expect 😆 Blankets would be useful outside.

Great atmosphere, superb view over the Elbe River and the cathedral. The service staff was friendly and attentive. The food was good, but nothing more. The salmon was very dry, and the teriyaki sauce was very strong.

We sat on the terrace and, thanks to the fresh breeze, easily endured the temperatures above 30 degrees. The food was delicious and plentiful.

It was wonderful to be there again... But the service from the men outside could be better! You got the feeling they were completely annoyed with their pissed-off attitude! But you wonder why? It wasn't even that busy....

A prime location right on the Elbe River with good value for money. The food was delicious and the staff friendly. Overall, a highly recommended venue.

There you can sit outside and enjoy the time

Great staff, great view and delicious food

We've been here several times, and we really enjoyed it this time too.

A beautiful event venue! The service, ambiance, food, and drinks were top-notch. Plus, the stunning location right on the Elbe River and... 🥁🥁🥁 with a view of the cathedral! 😍

The party boat and the catering on board are top-notch! Better than any other provider😁 The boat captain is friendly, competent, and adapts to the clientele👍

Never been. Only seen on the internet.

Very nice and highly recommended for celebrations or simply to spend a few pleasant hours. Located directly on the Elbe River and the bike path, it's also the ideal place for a stopover. If you don't want to eat in the restaurant, you can satisfy your hunger or thirst at the grill or at the kiosk, or simply enjoy an ice cream.

Unfortunately on the day visited only the grill was open

We were satisfied. The service was top notch.

Requiring a minimum amount for card payments in such a large establishment in 2025 is more than questionable. So enjoying a drink after a stroll is out of the question. Fortunately, there are other good restaurants nearby.

A great place to meet up with friends. The owners go to great lengths, especially during sporting events.

Always worth a visit, whether for a party, beer garden, public viewing or simply to wind down after work.

Very nice atmosphere, great service even in stressful situations. The food is absolutely delicious.

Very nice location on the Elbe with good food and friendly staff.

We were guests at a private party. The cake buffet was plentiful and delicious. In the evening, there was a barbecue buffet. In addition to many meat dishes, there were plenty of vegetarian and vegan alternatives. The in-house Mücke Hell beer was also highly recommended.

I was just visiting the beer garden and went to the drinks stand to order two beers. I said a friendly hello and placed my order. The waiter then said: 8 euros, please. I gave him ten, he gave me back one euro and said: 9 euros, I'd say, you'll be fine. Tipping is apparently neither voluntary here nor allowed to be left on the bar as is often the case. I was shocked and turned around. May 31, 5:00 p.m.

The service seems a bit bored, but not unfriendly. Otherwise everything is great, and the view from the terrace is simply beautiful.

It was my first time here, but not my last. The food was appealing, very tasty, and plentiful. The service was very friendly.

Wonderful location. It's probably very busy on weekends. We were there midweek in the upstairs restaurant. What impressed me was that everything, absolutely everything, was clean and made a very good impression. The service was excellent and extremely friendly. Suitable for young and old.
