Restaurant "1835" in Wernigerode

We really enjoyed the food, and it was funny that a model train brought us our drinks at the window seat. 😀 We'd love to go back.

I especially recommend the beef liver "Berlin style." The atmosphere is also charming. Highly recommended for railway enthusiasts. There's a great view of the Harz narrow-gauge railway, and what's especially nice is that the drinks are delivered by a model train.

The drinks come with a model train, which is pretty cool. The service was friendly and quick. The food was OK in my opinion—not bad, not outstanding, it was 👍

Nice surrounds, staff and f9d. No air con in room, only matters if weather hot

Nice environment. Unfortunately, people were standing and smoking at the entrance and the smoke came in which ruined the appetite.

Delicious schnitzel. The way the beer was served was lovely.

We spontaneously got a seat for two people, the staff was super friendly, we were served very quickly, and the drinks arrived in a small train. Delicious!

Please note: the menu published online does not match the one in the restaurant. Some dishes are missing entirely, and others are served with fries instead of fried potatoes. I also have to advise against the rather watery solyanka. I would definitely not eat here again.

Very good food. Beer comes by train.

Good food, reasonably priced. The model railway that delivered drinks to the tables was fun too.

There was something good on offer for all tastes.

The food is delicious and the service is first-class. We were a group of 10 people, and everyone was satisfied. The location, however, isn't so great, as it's right next to a main road and therefore very noisy.

The food took too long for a large group and wasn't that good either. Added to that, there are poor vegan and vegetarian options and the service isn't responsive to requests. The only thing that's good for train lovers is the ambiance. I would advise everyone else against this.

Beautiful themed restaurant with a view of the Harz narrow-gauge railway. The highlight, of course, is that drinks are delivered by miniature train. However, this only applies if you have the right seat. It would be great if this were indicated when making a reservation. The major drawback is the lack of air conditioning in the winter garden. It's unbearable there on a sunny, hot day, so you hardly have any appetite. Otherwise, delicious food and friendly service. We would come back!

Hunter-style pork chop with mushroom sauce is very good, the portion is big, you can eat a lot 😀

Very interesting restaurant, with a train delivering drinks to your seat

A super nice restaurant. I think it's SO cool that a model train delivers your drinks to the outer tables. It really awakens the 5-year-old in me. The service was fast and super friendly. The food was a large, delicious portion. I definitely recommend it to train enthusiasts. As a bonus, you can see the Brocken Railway chugging by every now and then.

Funnily enough, drinks are brought by train. The food was simply fantastic. We had schnitzel and liver, simply amazing.

Unfortunately, I found the evening at Restaurant 1835 rather disappointing. We were there in a large group, so I completely understand if it took a little longer. But waiting 1.5 hours for the food was tough. Especially when requests for dishes and drinks were forgotten. Many of the dishes were manageable in terms of quantity, and some of us didn't get full. The quality of the food was okay for most, but nothing special. What I found very disappointing was the response to my question about a vegan option. Google searches show that the restaurant offers both vegetarian and vegan options. However, under the "Vegetarian and Pasta" tab on the main course menu, only one vegetarian dish is listed; the rest are prepared with fish. It's perfectly fine if a restaurant can't or doesn't want to offer that, but I found the response to a really nicely asked question about whether there was anything vegan to be quite unfriendly. At first, they fobbed us off with a "Then look at the menu." The waiter also didn't seem to know the difference between vegetarian and vegan. When we responded that we couldn't find anything on the menu and asked if we could ask the kitchen, the waiter simply replied that I would probably starve with my diet and what would happen if Putin invaded. I've heard a lot of things, but this one left me speechless. Some other reviews mention the waiter's special sense of humor and that he only meant well. But I found this remark really off-putting. The end result was that they didn't ask the kitchen, and I opted for fries with ketchup, since the rest of the family wanted to eat there. Otherwise, I probably would have left at that point.

What is particularly funny is the delivery of drinks and additional snacks.

!! Be careful, the restaurant is trying to get bad reviews deleted!! We spontaneously booked a table there today because we liked the photos/reviews. Overall, it was "okay." The food wasn't exactly great (more precisely: greasy, burnt, cold, or the wrong thing). Service seemed overwhelmed with the restaurant at 40% capacity, as not only were we "overlooked" when we were still thirsty, but two other tables also had to follow up with drink orders, payment, and food orders. We were full at the end of the evening, but we wouldn't go back. It's fine for a one-time visit.

We'd like to extend our warmest thanks to the restaurant team. We received a very friendly welcome and felt very comfortable. The food was absolutely delicious and prepared with lots of love. We highly recommend it to anyone who visits!

Delicious food and friendly staff 👍

A very nice, well-kept restaurant with incredibly delicious food. The only drawback is the train that runs along the ceiling, which makes a very audible squeak.

The restaurant is lovingly decorated in a railway theme. The staff is quick and friendly. I would have given the food 6 stars, too. The "Paul" schnitzel was amazing, as was the barbecue burger. You should definitely try it.

I visited the restaurant with my wife on June 1st for my wife's birthday. The atmosphere was fantastic! The service was extravagant. But I paid for a burger that was absolutely terrible. Why do they offer breakfast bread with a burger?

Beautiful restaurant with an authentic atmosphere. The service was very friendly. The food was very well prepared and tasty.

The food and everything else was fantastic again. The food was very good, and the service was very attentive. A really lovely restaurant, and our drinks were brought to us by train. Our little one was thrilled every time.

Nice restaurant with very specific atmosphere, but.... We were visiting this restaurant with 2 friends the last day of March this year. There was nearly no one in the restaurant so the young lady brought the menus very quick. We were searching in the menus for delicious food when the cook came with a "special offering" showing us fresh and very good looking burger buns. I need to say, no one was originally interested to order a hamburger, but the guy was showing really nice arguments so we ordered "special house-made hamburger" with french fries. Couple of minutes later, the waiter came and explained something about problems with a bill, I need to say, I was shooting pictures of the cute railways around so I have not heard the conversation between him and my friends. Couple of minutes later, the three hamburgers arrived on our table. They were really not bad I need to say but far away from being extraordinary. After the meal, the waiter came to tell us that they are closing the restaurant so there is no way to order anything else and we were asked to pay and to go. He came, saying that every one of us should pay 33,10€ for the burger and one dark beer. Me and my friends were in the middle of a conversation so we didn't really paid attention and even more, every one added some "trinkgeld"/tip. After we have left the restaurant we have found out that this was a fail. The most expensive hamburger in the menu was priced with € 18,90, but every one of us has paid 35,-€ so that was the most expensive hamburger in my life. We have not received any bill so it was impossible to complain next day about the price. Need to say, that was quite a disappointment for all of us. A pity. I hope the waiter had a nice evening. EDIT: after some weeks of communication, the restaurant has sent a nice financial compensation. Thank you.

great restaurant, delicious food and definitely order a table by the window

Great atmosphere, friendly staff, excellent and plentiful food. Drinks are delivered by train, which is very cool, and a train even runs above the guests. The dining room is ideal for train enthusiasts. Prepare to be surprised and feel at home in beautiful Wernigerode.

There were nine of us there. Since the restaurant was otherwise empty, we were very disappointed with the service. Drinks were forgotten, and food was brought differently than ordered. The food itself was tasteless. The ketchup tasted as if it had expired, all the dishes lacked flavor, and they were lukewarm to cold. The ambiance is nice. You'll never see us there again.

Thanks to the team at 1835. We were the only guests at lunch today, received their full attention, and were very satisfied. Absolutely delicious food, super-friendly service, and a pleasant atmosphere. You fully deserve the five stars. Special thanks to the chef 😃!

I was at the Restaurant with my son for lunch after an exhausting trip from the UK. Amazing drinks delivery with a small train! The service was amazing and a person from a foreign land spoke amazing english and was very very helpful. Very much recommended for all foreign tourists who only speak English! Thank you!

The service staff was very friendly. The food was very tasty 😋 everything was very tender. Portion was okay. The mashed potatoes were a bit small. But also beautifully prepared. Here too, praise to the cook and assistants. 👨‍🍳 The only thing that wasn't okay for us was the price. Because we noticed that it was always 4 euros cheaper in the city center. Too bad. But you don't always have to eat on site. Nevertheless, we had a nice vacation with you.

As always recommended. Unfortunately, without a reservation, only a seat at the bar area was possible, which means that a spontaneous stop is not recommended.

The menu in the restaurant did not match the online menu. There is only one dish on the menu for vegetarians and vegans. Plates had already been cleared away even though someone was still eating at the table. Ordered RIP-Eye, but got simple beef from the steaker, no question was asked about the doneness of the steak when ordering.

Quite nice, but more appearance than reality. Two out of three requested dishes were out, and that on a Saturday evening. The portions are very manageable... No surprises in terms of taste, vegetables drowned in oil. Too bad.

It's nice, but a little too tight to sit on. Everyone can look at each other’s plate.

Everything, as always, was great... except that the service could have perhaps informed us straight away that there were no burgers that evening... it was our son very sad ! He had specially chosen one! Otherwise we can't understand the sometimes bad reviews...it's always great.... Of course we would love to come back!

Real nostalgia with all-round service

The train brings the drinks, what could be better for children or train fans? On top of that, the food was really very good! We will definitely come back!

The food was very tasty, the service was very friendly. However, we had to wait a very long time. It would have been nice to ask about other drink requests later.

This is now a hotel with a restaurant “Altora”

This was our third time there and we were very disappointed this time. The service and the ambience are great, the food wasn't that good this time. The taste was fine, but everything was lukewarm and out of 7 side dishes, 5 were not right. We waited 1 1/2 hours for the food, but the hard part was that the 3 year old was the last to get her food after almost 2 hours. This is an absolute no-go. Unfortunately we have lost the desire to go again.

The food was good, but unfortunately not hot enough. The side dish we ordered was not served.

The railway atmosphere was great and the cuisine was delicious.

Friendly welcome. Very tasty food. Great idea with the train to deliver the drinks.

Food is okay and the atmosphere is also cozy 😊

A great restaurant for railway fans, the food is great and plentiful.

The employees, staff were friendly, helpful. ROOM SUPER nice. .Breakfast was plentiful but the service left a lot to be desired. NO sweetener present. Coffee in the pot from the previous guest. ONLY 2. CUPS FOR 2. PERSON and lukewarm.

Food was good and the ambience was excellent. A very nice idea with the steam locomotive that brings the drinks to the table.

If you want to see how a train serves drinks, you should visit the restaurant! Rich menu! Highly recommended.

A prime example of the shortage of skilled workers in Germany. Just let as many guests into your restaurant as you can manage. Every walk-in gets placed and things get chaotic. Too bad.

This is a very nice restaurant for (steam) train enthusiasts or LGB fans (or both). In the Netherlands I know Corazon in Amersfoort and Pim's poffertjes and pancakes restaurant in Dordrecht where LGB trains also run at the top, but this restaurant is much more special. Firstly because it is located next to the HSB steam yard and secondly because drinks are delivered by LGB train. Our kids absolutely loved it! Food itself not special, but okay. Service was attentive and nice.

We stayed for 2 nights in the hotel with one meal in the restaurant. Food was good, not superb but certainly tasty. Schnitzels crispy, potatoes well seasoned. The soljanka soup was especially delicious. Service friendly and helpful for us with our imperfect german! Highlight was the model train bringing our drinks. If you like trains, it's worth coming here!

Ambience is appropriate for the train station theme Food is very very tasty The operation could be a little quicker, but otherwise great

Everything is great, the food, the service and the drinks come by train, great. Highly, highly recommended.

We liked everything. Very good atmosphere. The food is very tasty. The way the drinks are served is amazing.

Very nice and cozy restaurant. Very friendly owner. Drinks are brought by a train, which is very nice. A train also runs at the top of the ceiling. Beautiful view of the Werningerode railway station, where steam trains arrive and shunt all evening.

Super nice restaurant, especially nice that the drinks are brought by a steam train. Also very friendly people who work there. Food was also great, the ribeye gets an 11/10 from me😍 We will definitely come by again🇳🇱

Very friendly staff. The food was great. It is recommended. Will definitely come back.

We came because of the good reviews and of course because of the train that runs through the restaurant. We made reservations for the evening and there was exactly one waiter present. Unfortunately he wasn't particularly friendly either, rather grumpy... he was probably longing for the end of the day. Overall there was a strange atmosphere in the place. Hardly anyone spoke at the few occupied tables. There was no background music either and it was just a strange atmosphere. The moving drinks train is of course great. The food didn't convince us. It was quite loveless. The schnitzels were ok but not outstanding. Unfortunately the fried potatoes were cold. The small baked potato with small steak was a hefty price for a dry piece of beef with more fat than meat. The side salad had brown leaves and a mushy slice of tomato, but would be better without lettuce. The fried liver with mashed potatoes was quite bland, unfortunately no sauce either, just some drippings. The Pepsi also tasted stale, there was just not much carbon dioxide in it. How can something like that be? Conclusion: If you charge high prices for your food, you should also offer quality.

We felt very comfortable and in good hands there. Food was very good. The absolute highlight was the train that brought us the drinks.

Good 3 stars The moving HSB and the “beverage train” serve the motto and our child particularly liked it. The food was average. The chicken was fried too long, the schnitzel was very tasty - some good and some not so good. The service was also okay, but nothing outstanding. A solid & simple restaurant.

Great atmosphere, highly recommended..

Ambience really cult and successful. The service still needs to work on itself or we have a different understanding of humor. The drinks come by train, which is unique. Portions not too generous, quality is good. The fries are the cheapest from the wholesaler. All in all ok, we'll come back again

For years, the Altora restaurant has been a must when visiting the steam train in Wernigerode. But every time the quality drops. The garden train still runs in the restaurant, but the ambience is impersonal, the service lacks charm, the decoration has given way to black walls and the food has become terrible. Small schnitzels, half-raw fried potatoes, sour dressing, salty feta. Rooms on weekends only for three nights or more. Pretty cool. Has been removed from the program.

Great ambience, food is delicious. The staff very friendly

You definitely have to go! The ambience is great. The train drives through the restaurant and brings the drinks to the table. Friendly staff and good food! Highly recommended!

Pleasant atmosphere with original service, the drinks are delivered by train. Unfortunately, the human service was all alone, so it was a small challenge, but it was solved quite well. The food was solid, very generous portions. It was fun .

The restaurant is really cute! Access is via the Hotel Altora. The drinks are transported to the table on a small train and you have a great view of the supply station of the small steam train. You can watch coal being poured into the tender while you enjoy your meal. You can also be satisfied with the food overall.

Very great atmosphere, attentive and very friendly service. The food was very good and the portions were sufficient. Very good value for money.

Great atmosphere, delicious food—we felt very comfortable, and this was how the last evening of 2024 could begin...

Recommend making a reservation. Good food, friendly service.

What a great restaurant. The food was delicious and plentiful. Drinks were delivered by train, as befits the occasion. Thank you for a wonderful evening.

Thank you! Everything was great for our tour group! Everything was well prepared for 43 people: wonderful goulash soup, fast and good service and a cozy atmosphere! 😊

A very nice restaurant with a special atmosphere, perfect for train fans. The food was excellent and the service very good. Thank you for the wonderful stay. 🚂

Very cool interesting theme restaurant "1835" Eisenbahn Hotel in Wernigerode my favorite region the (Upper) Harz. Delicious high-quality food, the ambience is absolutely great, especially for railway fans, in my opinion it can even be improved, good friendly service and the price is okay for the quality. I can absolutely recommend it. 👍👌👍

The food tasted good, but if it had been warm and the fried potatoes hadn't been soggy, it would have been even better. The menu lists "Pepsi" and "Diet Coke"... after asking twice, I was assured that the Diet Coke was a Zero, which was still okay... but after the first sip, it was immediately clear that it was also Pepsi, and when I asked, the waiter indignantly came to the table with the bottle... Pepsi... and remarked that he didn't know anything about it and that everything tasted the same anyway. Sorry, but in my opinion, someone like that has no business being a waiter, even if there's a shortage of skilled workers; at least a certain basic knowledge should be present. Therefore, I don't recommend it, because there are enough restaurants in town where you can certainly enjoy much better service!

The food was good, but the portion was very small (2 mini pieces of liver with rice). At 18.90 it was much too expensive. It also took a long time for the food to be served.

Quaint themed restaurant, not just for train fans!

Good German cuisine. Although the restaurant was very busy, the food was served quickly. The service was always very attentive and quick. The absolute highlight is the little train that delivers the drinks to the table.

This was not our first visit, but we had friends with us for the first time and all agreed the food was great, the service attentive and the atmosphere superb, with the famed drinks delivery train of course a highlight.

There were 3 people eating there who had reserved a table by the window. When we said so, the waiter was very unfriendly and said they had 600 guests a day who all wanted a table by the window. Only when we said they had promised it to us over the phone did he show us a table. 1 person ordered a burger with home-made potato chips. When the food came, they were immediately told that more chips would be added because there weren't enough. The second portion couldn't be beaten in terms of saltiness. The 2 person had a salad with chicken breast with honey mustard dressing and baguette, the salad was old and musty, the sauce was water with a pinch of mustard, the chicken breast strips were cold, the baguette wasn't even toasted. The 3 people had Zurich Geschnetzeltes with boiled potatoes, which was a laughing stock for 18.90 euros. The 3 people then went to the Chinese restaurant opposite to get their fill. The price-performance ratio is not right at all and the waiter is very unfriendly. Conclusion If you want to get rid of money and still be hungry afterwards, this is the place for you.

The food was very tasty and the service was super nice. The ambience is great for railway lovers with the trains inside the restaurant and the train station with the steam locomotives outside. We were there for the third time and always go home very satisfied.

The chef must be in love - every meal was a little salty. The salad only consisted of a slice of cucumber + 1 piece of tomato + leaf with a strip of dressing on it - a shame. The rest of the food as well as the locomotive running in the restaurant were very good.

Super nice little restaurant. The food was super tasty, the prices were ok. The train that brings drinks is of course a highlight. Unfortunately it is difficult to find as it is a restaurant in a hotel with a different name and the restaurant sign is quite small.

We were guests at the hotel and ate here twice in the evening, unfortunately it didn't move us out of our seats. The price is higher here, but unfortunately the quality doesn't match. Unfortunately, with the salmon pasta dish, the salmon was in the pan for too long and was dry. On top of that, the piece of salmon was quite tiny, it probably didn't weigh more than 80 grams. Unfortunately, the burgers are only mediocre, the buns were fridge cold and the homemade chips were unfortunately sticky. The ambience is good, the service was quick and friendly, but the kitchen has room for improvement.

We reserved our table for two people online the day before. The confirmation came about 1 hour later via email. The service, the ambience and especially the food were great. We can highly recommend the restaurant.

From ordering the drinks to taking the food order it took at least 20 minutes, during which we learned that there was no staff available today who would have been able to redeem a voucher from mobile-gutscheine.de. A very weak performance. If this is really true, the owner would have to ask himself how he can train his staff better. Of course, it can also be the case that this is done consciously. We then made no further use of these services and went for a delicious kebab at an advanced hour. Oh, and we didn't get a response to a table reservation we made in the afternoon for the evening.

Exceptional restaurant - everything fits the surroundings (Harzer narrow-gauge railways) Very nice and attentive service

Compared to our last visit in 2019, the restaurant is unrecognizable. The food was great, the overall atmosphere was very well maintained, but unfortunately the service was a bit overwhelmed. But it was probably also due to the language problem that the operator was not a native German speaker.

More appearance than reality, unfortunately!

Rustic ambience with a good view of the train station, a model train runs its laps above the guests' heads, another brings drinks to the window seats... that's probably why the small restaurant is very popular (reservation is highly recommended). Service was very friendly and quick throughout, the menu was very extensive but not entirely up to date (not all spirits available)... no matter, the food was solid home cooking and good. We have to deduct a star, the "hot love" wasn't what you imagine it to be. Otherwise you can really spend a few pleasant hours here.

Food came quickly and was good. Service is a bit rough, unfortunately the drinks train didn't run. Despite correctly answering the question asked on the menu, I didn't get the promised schnapps, just a snappy "Lost." This restaurant also lost out to us.

The Altora Hotel is very small but very comfortable. We only had breakfast but the breakfast was plentiful and we would recommend it

Ordered three meals. Friendly service and a fun atmosphere with GDR charm. Food 1: Goulash is superficially dry and contains far too much pepper. Food 2: Fried potatoes raw and without taste Food 3. Wrong delivery. This was replaced, but still charged in full Conclusion: Bad food and accounting fraud. Never again.

The food was very good and arrived after just 15 minutes. Only the economic price pressure is noticeable, because the portion size was still sufficient but smaller than in previous years. Unfortunately, the gastronomy sector also suffers from inflation and the changing consumption of guests

Service is sometimes hectic and doesn't look the guest in the eye. It would also be nice if it was pointed out when making the reservation that you cannot sit by the railway line - as this is the highlight of the house.
