Pferdestall in Dortmund

Exceptional ambiance. Good food, top-notch service. The only downside is the noise level; you practically had to shout at each other if you wanted to have a conversation. But that's just the building's fault. The restaurant can't be blamed for that.

We really enjoyed it and enjoyed it. Good quality, excellent taste and still a reasonable, filling portion size.

Fine restaurant with very good service and good cuisine

Industrial culture combined with regional cuisine. Simply good.

We (unfortunately) only took a “short hiking break” there. But given the scenery and the delicious food, I would love to come back again. The mine is absolutely worth seeing.

Food technically, I can't recommend this place. In my opinion, a fried fish has a crispy and edible skin. Unfortunately it was soft and limp and therefore not edible. Too bad! The ambience is great! An old mining site including a museum and adventure playground for the kids. The service was fine.

Went there for the carousel menu and were satisfied.

Always happy / for business and private purposes.

A beautiful restaurant in the former horse stable of the Zollern colliery in Dortmund with very tasty food and extremely nice service. Also highly recommended for events (e.g. weddings). Always my pleasure!

We got married in church on September 14, 2024 and then celebrated in the horse stable. We received excellent support from the boss with valuable tips and tricks during the preliminary meeting. On our wedding day we celebrated with around 65 guests. After the wedding we started with a champagne reception in the pavilion/garden, which created a wonderful atmosphere. Afterwards we went to the restaurant, where everything was lovingly decorated and perfectly prepared. The guest book station, the candy bar, the magical table decorations, the delicious food and the classic wedding cake - everything was simply wonderful! It was a very special day for us and we are deeply grateful to the entire team for their effort and support. You can feel that the employees do their jobs with passion. A big thank you to everyone!

We noticed by chance that there was a restaurant at the Zollern mine. The weather was wonderful but cold, so tested whether the restaurant offered the opportunity to warm up a bit. What was served at the neighboring tables looked really great and left us wanting more. We chose the potato soup from the daily menu, a good decision, absolutely delicious! The bread that was served was delicious, so we asked if it could be purchased. That works ;-) so one of these breads please. An apple pie with cream to accompany the coffee, that rounded things off. The service is really friendly and attentive! We felt very comfortable, thank you for that!

After a visit to the Zollern colliery, a visit to the horse stables is a must. The restaurant has a modern, rustic interior and was moderately busy at lunchtime. The service was great. As a starter there was bread with herb quark. For the main course I had STEIGERS FAVORITE DISH, tender bacon-wrapped pork medallions with very creamy Choron sauce, Mediterranean oven-roasted vegetables and rosemary potatoes. The food that arrived shortly thereafter was so deliciously prepared that I forgot to take a photo of it! 😉 All in all, a delicious visit!

Nice atmosphere, good menu, tasty food

Tolle Location, lecker, guter Service

Great location, beautiful regional offerings and more than attentive service. All employees friendly and quick. A special thank you today to “Melli” for taking care of the little special requests.

We celebrated our wedding here and I can highly recommend it! The best service ever and great food! Menu for ~80 people and very tasty and on the table at the same time. Top!

In my top 3 for NRW and has been for many, many years. I take the Dortmunder Rostbraten every time and the dish is to die for! We usually go there as a small group of friends and everyone is more than satisfied. Not just with the roast. The ambience is of course also great. You immerse yourself in a time when industry still had an architectural beauty. From 5:30 p.m. entry to the Zollern colliery site is free (as of 2025); before that it only costs a little - with a reservation in the horse stable.

It was our first time there, but definitely not the last time. Overall, super good! We each chose a different menu offering. Excellent!

Great ambience, great service and the location in the middle of German culture. e.g. feed towers, museum and a former horse stable where the restaurant is located. Simply class. And all of this is located in Dortmund-Bövinghausen on the site of the Zollern colliery. Just always happy again.👍

It was a great celebration! All of my guests, there were over 50, were completely satisfied. We were all warmly welcomed by the servers and then discreetly served. The food was simply outstanding! Highest compliments to the kitchen! The atmosphere in the room made people feel comfortable, so the celebration lasted until the early hours of the morning. It was an unforgettable evening in the horse stable. This restaurant deserves an absolute recommendation.

Ich war mit Freunden hier und wir wurden sehr herzlich von der Bedienung begrüßt und an unseren Tisch geführt,. Es war sofort eine Wohlfühlatmosphäre geschaffen. die Speisekarte war übersichtlich gegliedert und hielt so einige kulinarische Überraschungen bereit. Unser zusammengestellte Dreigängemenü war ein voller Genuss. Es war alles sehr geschmackvoll angerichtet und war absolut seinen Preis wert. wir waren so zufrieden, dass wir uns vorgenommen haben, mindestens einmal im Monat hier vorbei zu schauen, um zu essen.

The one shown in the photos was called Westphalian Tappas.

Beautiful and great food. Will definitely come back...

We were in this lovely restaurant on 1/4/25. Just ate a little something and drank mulled wine. The service was extremely attentive and super nice. We are happy to recommend this restaurant. It is right on the mine railings and offers the perfect end to an eventful tour into the history of mining in the Ruhr area.

Sehr guter Service, sehr gute Qualität der Speisen. Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis ist stimmig. Auch Ambiente und Location laden zum Wiederkommen ein.

Super friendly staff, top food, great ambience

We celebrated a big birthday with 65 people here with an extensive brunch and everything was perfect! The beautiful setting, the warm welcome of the guests with Stösschen or rhubarb sparkling wine and the design of the restaurant rooms, the beautiful buffet, the friendliness of the service staff, the child-friendliness and the uncomplicated planning process - all highly recommended! We went home with a big smile on our faces!

Very nice atmosphere. The food was super tasty. Come again.

Este restaurante se encuentra dentro de una antigua Zeche que es un edificio histórico para la minería del carbón del pasado. El lugar es único. El restaurante en sí tiene un estilo tradicional muy bonito y anticuado. La calidad de la comida es buena, así como la variedad. Se espera solo comida alemana, pero es un menú bastante internacional.

We couldn't have found a better place for our celebration! In addition to the excellent advice in advance, the on-site service was very good and flexible. The food was, as always, extremely tasty. All guests were very satisfied. And the ambience is simply amazing! Hence the highest possible rating.

The restaurant is very quaint. There used to be a horse stable here as part of a disused mine. The architecture of the mine is absolutely worth seeing. A wonderful atmosphere both inside and outside in the beer garden. The service was impeccable, polite, quick and correct. The food was very tasty, we ate the Champion schnitzel with fries. One star less because the schnitzel was served without a side salad. That would have made the meal perfect. A look at the neighboring tables whets my appetite to try other dishes here. We'd love to come back.

Pos. Service very attentive Food delicious Beer that is light and tastes good Neg. Poorly tapped beer. Always bottom line Food waited > 2 hours Price wise, well... Very very loud.

Solid cuisine, schnitzel good, ravioli watered down. Nice and attentive service.

Celebrated 50th birthday and silver wedding anniversary. Very nicely prepared by the restaurant. Super nice service. Food is simply delicious. Will become our regular restaurant in the future.

Het restaurant ligt op het terrein van het mijncomplex Zollern in Dortmund. Gehuisvest in een monumentaal pand wat dienst heeft gedaan als paardenstal. Overzichtelijke kaart met leuke gerechten. Voor elk wat wils. Kwalitatief goed en bijzonder smaakvol. Prima prijskwaliteit verhouding.

Very successful location if you are into mining.

We were able to celebrate a family celebration in this beautiful restaurant with excellent food, very friendly service and a magical ambience and all the guests were very enthusiastic and praised this very good location.

the best restaurant in Dortmund that I know so far Tasty, well-prepared food, service ok, the rooms a little noisy

Great service, English Menu, delicious schnitzel. Will definitely return.

Wonderful restaurant, embedded in a historical ambience on the site of the Zollern colliery. Delicious local and typical dishes, leave nothing to be desired. Super friendly service, you feel like a guest and warmly welcome here from the first minute. We are so excited that we will come more often. Great concept with the best price-performance ratio.

Incredibly good food Super friendly service Net ambience Everything perfect

All the food was delicious. I highly recommend it. Food comes out quickly too. The food was seasoned appropriately, and each menu item was well balanced. I could feel the delicately cooked taste of the schnitzel, and this could also be seen in the garnish of the steak. It was nice to be able to taste carefully cooked food through the soft cooked flesh with a slightly crispy texture in the chicken breast of the salad. The characteristics and points of each menu were not overlooked, and the taste stood out. I don't think soy sauce was used in potato pancakes, but I was curious about how to achieve that flavor. The salmon served on the side was fresh and tasted even better with the sauce. The employees were friendly and had good manners. As the name of the restaurant suggests, the interior has a neat and tidy interior with a horse saddle theme. The lighting may be a bit dark for taking pictures, but it is a great place to take pictures from good angles using point lights. If the museum closes after 6 p.m., you can enjoy it at any time without an admission ticket. Next time I come to Dortmund, I think I will visit again.

Very nice atmosphere. Everything fits.

The food and service were top. The ambience was also great. Unfortunately we had to wait 1.5 hours for our food and we had a diabetic with us. That wasn't so good. There was a large company there and the kitchen was not able to serve the "normal" customers. Big minus! Even the coffee on the house doesn't make it any better. The planning should be reconsidered. Nevertheless, I would come back just for the food.

Basically a great location, but it's way too loud. We were in the next building with a larger group and many guests complained that they had to shout at each other. The owner would have to install a few acoustic elements here, then this would be fixed. Food was ok, when grilling the service has to make sure to use different forks for raw and grilled food. Staff was great.

After being thrilled with the menu carousel in February, we are not at all satisfied after eating a la carte. The zander fillet was dry because it had been fried for too long, the sauce and the beetroot mashed potatoes were cold or lukewarm. Overall, the dish was seasoned unimaginatively. This also applied to the Königsberger Klopse, which were served with boiled potatoes that were too hard and pre-cooked. The first portion of potato pancakes was too crispy; it was probably the second time they had been in the pan. The second one was fresh, but very greasy. Overall, we felt like we had been served leftovers from the day before.

Very nice place. We were there for coffee. The cheesecake was super delicious.

I recommend everyone who comes to Dortmund to visit the Pferdestall Restaurant, the steak is amazing, in general the service is always polite, friendly and attentive, keep it up👏🏽

There are still restaurants that don't complain. A well-rehearsed service team gave us a lovely afternoon. Anyone who likes industrial culture will get their money's worth here. Nestled in the Zollern Industrial Museum, you are almost transported back to the time of industrialization that paved the way for the Ruhr area to thrive. So if you want something special, you'll get your money's worth here.

The food was quite ok; Unfortunately the service is not as attentive as you would like. The Kaiserschmarrn as a dessert is not recommended!

The ambience (outside against the backdrop of the Zollern colliery) is simply great. The service friendly and quick. The food was tasty (chanterelles in a delicious sauce with bacon cubes) - but the veal steak was very dry. Two to three minutes less in the pan would certainly have done him some good.

The food was delicious and the service was very friendly. Price is a bit higher but portions are sufficient.

It was very tasty, everyone was very friendly. You don't have to wait long

Super friendly and extremely attentive service! We felt very, very comfortable!! It was the second event (baptism and school enrollment) that we celebrated there! The only small deduction when it came to eating the healthy bowl: compared to other bowls I've eaten, there was a lot of rice in it and the avocado was very hard and therefore tasteless. I wouldn't order again. All other dishes, schnitzel, steak, currywurst, fries were very tasty!

This restaurant stands for regional (Westphalian) specialties of very good quality. Bowls and a number of vegetarian options are also offered. On Sunday, when the weather was good, we were able to sit on the spacious terrace and take in the scenery of the Zollern colliery. The staff was very friendly. Beforehand there was homemade bread with a homemade herb dip. Everything very tasty! We were amazed that the restaurant was so busy despite the higher prices. People are happy to pay for good food! Definitely worth a visit again - Restaurant and Zeche Zollern!

Great environment, food is sumptuous, tasty and inexpensive

We recently enjoyed the champagne menu here. The 25th anniversary of the horse stable went well with our silver wedding anniversary. 🤗 We had a lovely evening with good food, excellent service in a great atmosphere. Thank you very much for that. 🥰

Coffee was pure rubbish, the apple pie was thawed and tasteless. 2 coffees and 2 cakes for €15.20. Never again. What the operators say about this is wrong. Coffee and cake were not good.

We ate again in the horse stable and were once again totally thrilled. The food is rustic and wonderfully prepared. As always, the service was very friendly and attentive and the adjacent playground makes it a great experience even with children. Always recommended.

Nice restaurant with a pleasant location and atmosphere, the outside terrace is nicely lit and has plenty of space. Service was very friendly and competent, the food was fabulous and the menu was generally very varied. Something for everyone!

Wir haben hier unsere Silberne Hochzeit mit mehr als 30 Gästen gefeiert. Der Ort, das Gartenhaus, ist sehr schön, das Essen von der Vorsuppe über die Hauptgerichte und Nachspeisen bis zur Kuchenplatte am Nachmittag waren sehr, sehr lecker und der Service war ausgezeichnet.

Industrial culture in a beautiful atmosphere, very tasty food and extremely friendly staff gave us a great evening!!!! Highly recommended and happy to come again!!!!

Employees are all super nice The food was sensationally delicious and I can only recommend it!!

We celebrated our wedding in the horse stable about a month ago and can only report positive things. The preliminary discussions were very structured; it was clear from the start that professionals were at work here. All of our wishes were taken into account or adapted to the circumstances. Even the decoration was lovingly arranged according to our wishes and ideas about the horse stable, so that we didn't have to worry about anything on the day. We also thought the layout of the rooms was great for our wedding, as the dance floor and seating area were separate. It was great that we could also use the outdoor area, so we could easily get some fresh air. The evening itself was fantastic. In addition to the wonderful food, which was praised by all guests and of which there was more than enough, the staff in particular was unique. Always friendly, always helpful, always courteous. All employees always had an eye for the guests and lovingly looked after everyone and everything. Even at a late hour, everyone was smiling and having fun. Our guests also praised the team highly. Overall, we are overjoyed to have celebrated our wedding in the horse stable. Many thanks again to the whole team for this unforgettable evening!

We are always very satisfied. Whether inside or outside, a la carte, for Christmas brunch or for ribs. Always delicious, very friendly and quick. When the weather is bad, you can sit comfortably indoors with a nice atmosphere, and when the weather is good, you're in good hands outside.

The Pferdestall Restaurant has been one of, if not the, favorite restaurant of the whole family for years. The warm and professional treatment of guests is unique. The food is always a pleasure. Here I'm talking about the menu, the buffets at private celebrations and on event days such as Christmas. The visit to the horse stable is rounded off with the special ambience and the entire backdrop of the colliery area. Even the (water) playground, which is within sight of the horse stable, offers everything for a nice outing for the whole family with water pumps and tracks, swings and a large sandpit. Delicacies from the kitchen, cool drinks from the counter and perfect service make the visit an experience “par excellence”.

After a short walk through the museum grounds, which is worth seeing, on a warm summer evening, we took a seat at the table we had previously reserved by telephone - in the beautifully landscaped outdoor area, directly under one of the two winding towers. Such an ambience for dinner is rare - even in the Ruhr area - and is impressively beautiful. The service was - as always here - very quick and very friendly, and the menu selection was extensive. After a "greeting from the kitchen", delicious wholemeal bread with yoghurt dip, my main course arrived, the "Wiener Style" schnitzel with cranberries, salad and French fries. And for dessert I treated myself to a Tartufo “Special”, an Italian ice cream dream with Amaretto liqueur. I really, really enjoyed it. So: 5 stars all around!

The warm but unobtrusive service, which has become so rare, is particularly commendable. The food and wine were delicious, good value for money and in a feel-good atmosphere. We'd love to come back - with Lou-Lou ;-)

Recommendation out of pure conviction! The food was very good and the service staff were consistently friendly. Even though all the tables were occupied, we were served quickly. We'd love to come back.

This restaurant on the former site of the Zollern colliery with the winding tower etc. has an extraordinary ambience. The menu offers Something for everyone and the quality of the food is very good. It charges in the summer spacious outdoor area to relax a. The committed employees The kitchen and service make it easy for guests to feel comfortable. By the way, you can also do very well there organize a celebration. A highly recommended restaurant.

The “Pferdestall” restaurant can be found on the Zeche Zollern site. The beautiful terrace under the winding tower invites you to linger. The service is great. You feel welcome and you find time for a photo and some fun. Thank you, Pina 😉! The menu is exactly not for me. Not too much choice and not run of the mill. Something for every taste. Today I was here for the first time and I would love to come back. I had the baked sheep's cheese and tartufo for dessert. 😋

We were in the horse stable with our regulars for the first time and were absolutely thrilled! Our great waitress Pina was super nice, but everyone in the service created a great and warm atmosphere. The food is delicious and there is a good selection. I had the Steiger favorite dish and the Pina Cotta with strawberries. Yummy! The regulars' table is coming back!!! Best regards

I have already been impressed by the menu carousel here in the past and today I was able to spend a great evening with nice service (thanks Pina :-)) and good food. I'd love to come back!

We had our girls' evening there today and were positively impressed: great location, courteous service (we sat at table 36) ;) and really tasty and sufficient food. We were definitely not there for the last time: always happy!! 🥰

Always my pleasure! Great atmosphere, very good, friendly and attentive staff! Excellent cuisine! 😋 We celebrated our wedding here four years ago, have been regular guests since then and have celebrated several other celebrations in this absolutely great location.

Completely satisfied! Nice conditions and good food. Thank you for the lovely evening!

Great ambience, friendly, attentive and fast service, tasty food. Always my pleasure.

Super nice staff and very tasty food

Breathtaking scenery, very tasty food and great service. Short waiting time. We will be back. The champagne menu was great.

Wir sind mehrmals im Jahr im "Pferdestall"; wir wohnen nah, und seit Ende des Lockdowns wollen wir die Gastronomie stützen... Eine sehr gute Erfahrung machten wir im April 2022 bei der "Abschiedsfeier" für einen verstorbenen Freund, die wir dort ausrichten ließen. Das Buffet war vom Feinsten; Medien für die Dia-Show über das Leben unseres Freundes wurden gestellt. Seither waren wir als Paar häufiger dort und manchmal auch mit Freunden. Wenn man sich auf die – nicht so große, aber recht abwechslungsreiche – dauerhafte Speisekarte bezieht, macht man immer gute Erfahrungen. Bei dem wechselnden "Menu des Monats" kann man schon mal daneben greifen (Spargel zu einem Drittel holzig, also überlagert. Kürbisgemüse noch roh). Immer prima ist das "Krüstchen", der Zander, und "Steigers Lieblingsgericht", das ich aber eine Weile gemieden habe, weil die Beilage, das "Mediterrane Ofengemüse", aus matschigen Zucchini- und Augerginenstückchen bestand und - fürs Auge - jedes Mal nur ganze DREI Stückchen rote Paprika zu finden waren. JETZT ABER hat der Koch gewechselt: Dennis ist wieder da. Ein Hoch auf Dennis. Gestern Abend war dieses Gemüse knackig, die Stücke waren groß, bestanden aus (fast nur) verschiedenfarbigen Paprika, einzelnen Zucchini und grünen Böhnchen. Kein Matsch mehr. Eine Freude für Gaumen und Auge. Zum Niederknien. So muss Gemüse sein. Okay, ich bin ein Paprika-Junkie... Aber vielleicht klappt in Zukunft auch Spargel? Und Kürbis? Jedenfalls gebe ich mal fünf Punkte. Für das Gemüse von gestern, hauptsächlich.

A fine evening with delicious food in a very nice atmosphere accompanied by very friendly staff. I'll go there again!

Very great restaurant, great service, very tasty food.

We celebrated our son's wedding there yesterday. Unfortunately there are no 100 stars that you can give. From the food to the service it was simply brilliant. The sweetest and nicest staff we have ever met in the restaurant at such an event.

Today we were at the horse stables at Zeche Zollern for a wedding. The ambience, food and service were first class. It's rare to find something like that these days. We'd love to come back.

Great food. Unfortunately, Google misled us in our search! To be on the safe side, you should follow the Zollern colliery. After 6:00 p.m. access to the site is free. Beforehand you either have to pay 1€ “entrance” or combine your stay with a visit to the Zollern Industrial Museum!

On Sunday we were back in the horse stable for our birthday dinner. Again we were thrilled with the starter (antipasti) and the main course (Steiger's favorite) The waitresses were again very friendly and accommodating. A great restaurant where you always feel comfortable. Thank you for the lovely evening

The impression was very good. Pleasant atmosphere, very nice staff and the coffee, cake, ice cream and water were great LG 😉 we would be happy to come back

We celebrated our golden wedding anniversary in the horse stable's garden house. We and all our guests were thrilled with the place, the service and the high quality of the food. We felt we were well advised by the management of the restaurant in advance. We would like to thank the management and employees and can warmly recommend the horse stable for celebrations and celebrations without reservation. We will definitely be there again when the occasion arises.

Yesterday we went to a gold wedding in the garden shed. Just lovely! Ruhrpott romance at its finest. The food was delicious and the staff was extremely friendly, personable and helpful. Was a lot of fun! See you :-)

Great food Friendly and very good staff

The food was good, the potato pancakes were a bit greasy. However, it was very crowded in the restaurant and extremely loud, so conversation at the table was hardly possible. Unless you screamed, unfortunately!!

My colleague's attention was drawn to me and I went there as part of the #EXTRASHIFT#. I enjoyed very tasty asparagus cream soup and wine. Incredibly nice and attentive staff. Great ambience... Sitting outside is great because the Zollern colliery's cultural heritage winding tower is right there 🤩 Highly recommended!

Very good restaurant. I felt very comfortable. Everything fit. I will recommend it and will definitely come back.

Very good cuisine and attentive service. Clear recommendation if you want to eat outside of the city.

Everything was great, nice staff, delicious food

Good food, very friendly service.

Very tasty food, great ambience and very nice service!!! Any time

Great ambience at Zeche Zollern II. Very good food, courteous staff, is something special.

Great, nice atmosphere! Great service, lovely staff! Delicious food, perfect weather! All I can say to everyone is “Go there because it’s just beautiful!”. You can have great parties there!

Very cozy and quaint! A great atmosphere in a special place!
