Restaurant, Café & Bar „Platzhirsch“ Erfurt in Erfurt

Friendly, attentive service; inviting ambience indoors and outdoors; varied menu; traditional cuisine with a twist

This great restaurant is right in the heart of Erfurt's old town. The service from Steffi was uniquely good - warm, super attentive and extremely fast. The food is really exceptional! We once had the Thuringian Mutzbraten and once the pulled venison burger. Both were a real taste experience. For dessert we had the mango mascarpone cream and a Kaiserschmarrn. Both also absolutely brilliant. The evenings at the Platzhirsch really rounded off our short stay in Erfurt and emphasized the warmth with which we were welcomed in Thuringia's capital.

Absolutely recommended! Kitchen excellent 👌 definitely try the salmon tartare, soooo delicious. Service very warm + personal 👍 The next time you visit Erfurt, the “top dog” will definitely be booked in advance. We'll be back :-)

A successful evening with really great service. One star deducted because instead of linguine there was only spaghetti (it was still delicious).

We ate fantastically and were served VERY friendly, courteous and quick. It was an excellent visit.

We had a wonderful lunch with very friendly service in a cute restaurant. Definitely worth a visit.

Service was very friendly, unfortunately the food wasn't that good. Burgers and chips extremely greasy, you had the impression that the burger bun had also been fried. Space in the interior is very limited. Drinks were ok but nothing special. Homemade ginger lemon balm lemonade was simply sparkling water with a lemon slice and lemon balm leaves for just under €6. Based on the good reviews, we had hoped for more. For vegetarians and vegans it might be worth knowing that the veggie selection is very limited. There are no vegan dishes.

A tip in Erfurt. Really good Thuringian cuisine 😋.

We were extremely satisfied. The Mutzbraten was great and the lemon linguine with salmon was very tasty. Everything was fresh and the service was very friendly. The reservation via email was problem-free and I recommend it to get a place.

Great food! Small, stylish restaurant, very friendly and attentive service and reasonable prices. Can only be recommended!

Very tasty food and delicious beer! Attentive and friendly staff. Small, narrow but very stylish restaurant.

The food was great. Staff very friendly and accommodating. We'll be back.

A bit limited space inside. It's best to make a reservation. We didn't, but we still got a spot. Service very good and attentive. Cozy !!!

There are Thuringian classics interpreted in a modern way. The quality is really convincing, chapeau! The service team is quick and friendly, the small restaurant is modernly furnished, and the prices are more than reasonable. All in all very successful.

Excellent, high quality and something different

Stumbled across it by chance and was totally thrilled. Very good food, very nice service. We had booked an “extension” for the next day. If we go to Erfurt again, we will definitely eat here again.

We had Mutzbraten with dumplings, game burgers and linguine. To put it simply, it was fantastic! Dr Mutzbraten was super tender and juicy, the dumplings were homemade. The game burger was also very tasty and with homemade potato chips. Linguine on point. In short, you don't often find such quality in Erfurt!

Mega delicious food in a relaxed atmosphere 👍

A real insider tip – the top dog! I've been to Top Dog a few times now and it's a highlight every time. The atmosphere is just right: modern, but with a cozy, almost family touch. You immediately feel welcome. The menu is varied without being overwhelming. I was particularly enthusiastic about the venison fillet – tender as butter and simply perfectly prepared. But the vegetarian dishes are anything but boring. The pumpkin risotto was a real treat! What I particularly like is the quality of the ingredients. You can tell that they really pay attention to freshness and regionality here. There is also a great selection of wines - there is something for every taste. The staff is super friendly and attentive without being intrusive. You can tell that they love their job and enjoy it. In short: Platzhirsch is the perfect place to spend a relaxing evening with really good food. I'll definitely be back!

Just beautiful here, the food was great, everything was right.

We had chosen the restaurant for the next visit to Erfurt a long time ago, and now there were four of us in the "Platzhirsch". We wanted to go in because of the temperatures, got a seat there, but immediately noticed that it was pretty tight. That The house filled up more and it became less comfortable. There was a lot of seating here, but for many guests there was only one toilet for EVERYONE. But that was also supposed to be the negative for us (a few times we could see the waitresses doing a few laps with the trays and apparently not quite knowing where to go). There aren't that many different options on the menu, but there's still something there, the portions were good, pretty varied and the taste was great. There's nothing to say, with everything else that goes with a restaurant you could add a little more.

The food was really great. Small extra requests are fulfilled. Very nice team.

Absolutely recommended, great ambience, very nice service and the food is simply a poem!!!!! always my pleasure

Very friendly, relaxed staff. The food was very tasty. Ate the best game burger. Price performance 👌👍. I'm looking forward to next time.

First class cuisine!!! Mega tasty, great service and reasonable prices for the location. Top!

The food was mediocre tasty. Not bad but not really good either.

Well, I expected more based on the reviews.

A really great location where you are definitely welcome.

Cozy atmosphere, delicious food for large and small appetites (the cheesecake is an unparalleled temptation). On top of that, the staff was really nice and attentive. Absolute recommendation!

It's always a pleasure, cute little menu so the decision isn't so difficult. And there is something for every taste and hunger😊

Super tasty food, generous portions, friendly and very accommodating staff. Can only recommend

Here people still work with heart and even more hospitality. The food is always fresh and delicious. The prices for Erfurt are rather moderate. Very nice beer garden. It's a shame that the interior is rather small. It's best to always reserve in advance.

We ate there twice during our stay in Erfurt. Both times excellent. Praise to the kitchen. Very friendly and attentive staff. Sat outside (the second time under the umbrella and the rainy evening was still nice) The car traffic is a bit annoying.

Sehr leckeres Essen, sehr nettes und zuvorkommendes Personal Schön gelegen und gemütlich. Dort würden wir immer wieder Rast machen.

Well drunk, nice service. Food at the tables looked delicious!

Very friendly staff and it was tasty

Everything was freshly cooked, exceptionally tasty and the service was very kind, considerate and courteous. Card payment no problem. 100% recommendation!

Very good food, nicest service in Erfurt :) I chose my companion myself ;) Everything was great and highly recommended.

I liked it very well. I will definitely come back . Keep it up.

We spontaneously stopped by the restaurant. We were allowed to choose a place for two. The service was very friendly and the food came quickly. The Thuringian bratwurst could have been fried a little spicier and the mashed potatoes tasted a bit like a "bag". All in all, it was still tasty.

Very good home cooking, fast and friendly staff, highly recommended.

Great little cafe in a square in Erfurt. One of the best steak sandwich’s we have eaten. It was so good we went back the next day and ordered it again. The service was friendly and efficient and having live music in the square only added to the atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Platzhirsch has a pleasant outdoor area with a view of the Wenigemarkt, which invites you to linger. The menu is manageable, but also offers a choice for vegetarians. The prices are fair and the burger is said to be a real insider tip - worth every bite! Unfortunately, I found the portion of my risotto a bit too small for the price. What struck me immediately was that the boss probably personally came to every occupied table and asked if everything was OK. I think that's great because you can give direct feedback. All in all a good restaurant with good value for money. I can recommend it!

super tasty, great location, fast, good prices, friendly

Wir waren zu viert und haben einen guten Tisch in der Sonne bekommen. Das Essen war sehr gut. Ich hatte Salat mit Schafskäse und das Parmesan Hähnchen. Der Service war sehr freundlich.

There were six of us here and we were able to sit comfortably outside. It's so beautiful, there used to be no restaurants on this side of the Wenigemarkt and now the whole atmosphere is getting better and better. The food was very good, hamburgers, pasta, salad and rice were delicious. The staff was casual and nice.

Very tasty food in a pleasant atmosphere. The wild burger is highly recommended.

Great food great staff. Keep it up

I can't rate food. Ordered a final round shortly after 11 p.m. Very friendly service and enjoyed a nice end to the day at the Wenigemarkt.

Nice atmosphere, service okay (not particularly attentive). I wouldn't recommend the salad, it was anything but fresh - at home I would have thrown away lamb's lettuce in this condition. The other varieties weren't fresh either, except for the tomatoes. Everything was very collapsed. Dressing didn't taste like anything, just bitter. The taste was very disappointing, the goat cheese was bitter and not of high quality. Overpriced at just under 18 euros. The beef cheeks were “okay”. The mashed potatoes had been warmed in the microwave.

Staff very nice and quick. The food was good too. Gladly again.

Service top. Food was delicious

Delicious food, very attentive and friendly service

This shop is highly recommended. Great food and great staff. We had a very nice evening there.

Delicious variations in food, great drinks, great service; Always happy to come back with my friend Sabrina ;)

Suddenly decided on a snack, very tasty and sufficient

Great location and nice outdoor seating. Friendly and attentive service. Delicious food and a really large selection of drinks (unfortunately no regional beer ;-). We'd love to come back!

Tolle Lage und schöne Außenbestuhlung. Freundlicher und aufmerksamer Service. Leckere Speisen und eine richtig große Getränkeauswahl (nur leider kein regionales Bier ;-). Wir kommen gerne wieder!

The food was very good and tasty. The service is also very friendly and accommodating!!!!

Location great 😃 Food unfortunately just mediocre and nothing special. Drinks quite good.

Cozy restaurant with good food and service!!!

We were there for coffee and a small lunch snack at around 3 p.m. In addition to a really nice atmosphere outside, the Mediterranean bruschetta and the cheesecake were also super tasty. Is it worth it?

Nice and attentive staff, delicious food, a nice place outside, everything perfect...

Our first visit was very pleasant. Service and food were very good, the restaurant was small but very cozy.

A very nice location with a cozy terrace. The deer goulash was very tasty. You can have a great time at Wenigeplatz and the Platzhirsch is the ideal address for this.

If you want original Thuringian cuisine, this is the right place for you. Very good cuisine, friendly staff and a nice atmosphere. Completely successful

Restaurant am Wenigemarkt mit Plätzen im Freien. Man Kann das rege Treiben auf dem Wenigemarkt gut beobachten. Freundliche Bedienung. Essen konnte nicht überzeugen.

pleasant restaurant on the lively Wenigermarkt. warm and attentive employees

It's cramped but atmospheric, the food is tasty, the waitresses are resistant to whining, so it's cool, you can easily eat some food 🙃

First of all: awesome. I was here with my parents, we just wanted a drink. These homemade lemonades were a hit. Looks like taste. But best of all: the service was top. Plus, the waiter didn't look bad with the glasses🙈

We stopped in to drink coffee. At first the service was friendly. But when it came time to pay... it's only possible in cash and when we gave money and we were asked how much we wanted to get back, my jaw dropped. I didn't give a tip, even though I was willing to give appropriate TIP. We don't come here anymore.

It was really nice, and the food was really good, friendly staff, we can only recommend it

Ate spiced meat for the first time. Was not bad. Plus a duck stone

Relax and enjoy from little to big hunger and thirst - very friendly there

Beautiful restaurant, dishes prepared with attention to detail. Great products!

We and everyone else had ordered Aperol Spritz. Ours was completely alcohol free!!

Delicious food, delicious lemonade, great ambience and very nice staff. Thank you.

One of the best vegetarian burgers I've ever eaten. Finally not a standard burger patty, but something special and tasty. The cucumber salad is also recommended.

Great food and delicious drinks right in the heart of Erfurt. Great service and we will definitely be back.

Tolle Gerichte, ein sonniger Außenbereich und sehr freundliches Personal. Der Platzhirsch befindet sich mitten in der wunderschönen Altstadt und bietet einen tollen Blick auf den Wenigemarkt

Wir waren zweimal hier und einmal haben wir auch gegessen. Das Essen war sehr lecker und nicht zu teuer. Die Bedienung hier ist sehr nett und sehr aufmerksam. Auch wenn man erst einmal hier, wurden wir gleich wieder erkannt. Aussen kann man sehr schön sitzen mit Blick auf Zugang zur Krämerbrücke

A small but very fine and personally run restaurant. The food was very tasty and at a good price-performance ratio. Was a highlight in Erfurt.

A really nice evening. By far the best meal in Erfurt so far!

Very cozy, very friendly and delicious food. :-)

Tried it by chance. Were very positively surprised, great little restaurant. Price performance great. Service very friendly and accommodating. Can only recommend it. We will be back definitely.

Super pleasant experience, which is mainly due to the two extremely friendly and charming waitresses. The team obviously works well together; despite the full terrace, the focus was on the needs of the guests and the service was fast at all times and special requests were no problem at all. The food was good and fairly priced. Nice and unobtrusive atmosphere. We'd love to come back

Beautiful place with beautiful people

We still had time so we stopped here. Very cozy in there and super friendly and young waiters. The food there was very tasty and next time we are in Erfurt, this will be our restaurant again. A little tip, the limos are there really good!

The food combines classic Thuringian cuisine with the lightness of modernity. You can tell from the staff that it's not just a job, but a matter of the heart. Special recommendation: Kaiserschmarrn

I can't say anything about the food, we sat down there for a little break. Blankets for outside were laid out. The service was very friendly and quick. The toilets clean and tidy. The hit was the homemade raspberry lemon lemonade. Was well received by all the children.

This is a very beautiful place.

Small but fine restaurant with a very pleasant atmosphere and delicious Thuringian dishes.

Yesterday we were in the top dog for the first time and we were thrilled. Starting with the cozy atmosphere, through the very nice and friendly staff to the fantastic food. Simply 5 stars all around!

It's always a great evening when we're there, very tasty food and great service where there's a lot of laughter and you leave the restaurant full and in a good mood, highly recommended

We were in the restaurant for the first time and absolutely loved it. The food is very tasty and well prepared. Space is quite limited, so it's better to make a reservation if you want to eat there. But we found it very comfortable and the staff is extremely friendly and welcoming. We will definitely come back!

Without words…Simply great! Service was top and the food was a dream! Thanks to the Platzhirsch team

Small but very fine restaurant with great food and outstanding service in a really nice atmosphere! Absolutely recommended!

Spontaneously with a small group of girls there. I'm still excited. Small but nice. Great advice on cocktails and the food was delicious. We felt very comfortable.

Really great place, nice service and special requests are fulfilled... nice evening!

The food was delicious, the service was very attentive. Only the volume spoils the experience a little.
