Restaurant, Café & Bar „Platzhirsch“ Erfurt in Erfurt

Beautiful place, very friendly staff. We ate here twice. The salad was very good, with a great variety of flavors, including nuts, pineapple, and tossed greens. The vegetarian burger with feta cheese was also very good.

Well and centrally located in Erfurt at Wenigen Markt

Beautiful ambiance, friendly service, and delicious food! Highly recommended!

Great location, excellent service, and delicious food. Nothing is left to be desired.

Great food...they have the best mashed potatoes in all of Thuringia. The staff is super friendly and very attentive. Keep up the good work, we'll be back.

The three of us got a table on Friday. The service was super friendly and attentive. They made it possible for us to get a table outside the restaurant without having made a reservation. Thank you for that. We had the house lemonade, which was very fruity and perfect for the warm weather. The food was good and arrived at our table in an excellent time. We'll be happy to come back and are looking forward to the next highlight on the menu. See you soon in Erfurt.

Very tasty burger with feta and fries.

Very delicious food. Very friendly staff. Great atmosphere. We'll be back.

We had a reservation and were very impressed by the service and the extremely friendly staff. The food was excellent. Despite the wait for our food, we were well looked after, including a small snack from the kitchen to pass the time. We would definitely come back.

We were just passing through, returning to the "north"... and unfortunately only enjoyed small bites (terrific "fries" - homemade potato chips including a fabulous leaf salad); but the service deserves special mention: A staff with heart and an authentic and almost loving eye for the guest – exemplary and perfect for the moment!! Greetings to the team of three from the south of Hamburg

Excellent food (the venison burger was absolutely fantastic), super friendly and fast service, and a perfect location. Prices are more than reasonable. It couldn't be better, which is why it gets 5 stars! Absolutely recommended!

We were in Erfurt with friends over the weekend, and today, just before heading home, we wanted another delicious meal. So, we googled Platzhirsch and thought it was a good place. We called, booked a table without any problems, and went in. What can I say? We were extremely satisfied. The food, drinks, and service were all great. We'll be back. 😎....Thanks. Greetings from Hesse.

Auf Grund der Bewertung "Bestes Restaurant 24/25" in Erfurt habe ich heute den "Platzhirsch" besucht. Ich wählte den Wildschweinbraten und das Schwarzwälder Kirsch Dessert aus. Das Gericht war insgesamt nicht gut abgewürzt, der Rahmblumenkohl schmeckte fad, es fehlte definitiv Salz und Muskat, die Sosse mußte ich ebenso nachwürzen. Der Nachtisch war nicht schön angerichtet, auf einem flachen Teller lagen fünf Häufchen (keine Nocken abgesteckt oder mit dem Spritzbeutel aufdressiert) in der Mitte zwei Eßlöffel Kirschkompott, mit meiner Meinung nach zu viel Alkohol. Schade, da hatte ich mehr erwartet!

The food was great (roast pork and salad), and the service was friendly and quick. The atmosphere was fine. We sat outside, and some cars drove quite fast through the narrow alley, but that's not their fault. So, nothing to complain about!

Delicious Thuringian cuisine, highly recommended! The Mutzbraten was so tender you didn't even need a knife. Excellent value for money!

I had the Thuringian bratwurst with mashed potatoes and sauerkraut – simply delicious! Everything was freshly prepared, perfectly seasoned, and typically Thuringian. The service was attentive and friendly, and the atmosphere at Wenigemarkt is simply beautiful. I definitely recommend it – I'll be back!

Highly recommended. Delicious food and friendly service 👍

The tables are outside...very close to a very busy street in the evening...which is not so nice when eating and chatting

Very nice service who provided hydration.

I asked for the sandwich without onions because I'm allergic, and I made this clear when ordering. There was no language-related comprehension problem, but the onions were still there. It was simply unacceptable; it's not a matter of taste...

Schöne Lage, schnelle und freundliche Bedienung und das Essen hat super geschmeckt, was will man mehr. Preis ist auch okay.

Delicious food, a great team that works with fun. Super

We had dinner with friends. Our last-minute order was perfectly organized, and the staff was very friendly. The outdoor seating is very pleasant in the evening sun, with all the advantages and disadvantages of a restaurant right on a bustling market square. The food is good to very good, and the drinks selection is extensive. The only point deducted was the long wait for the food, with guests at tables for two who had arrived later paying while we were still waiting for our food. The staff apologized for this and pointed out the large crowd. We understood this.

Classic German cuisine with a modern twist. There's something for everyone, whether meat lover or vegetarian. Beautiful ambiance and very friendly service. Highly recommended.

We went to the "Platzhirsch" for dinner again. Nothing has changed! Again, a huge compliment to the kitchen; the chef here isn't called "Bling-Bling." Everything is freshly prepared and tasted delicious. A special mention also goes to the service team, very friendly and competent. Thank you! Rita and Jürgen Leipe

They moved us to an outside table because everything was booked. The staff was super friendly and the food was absolutely delicious. Highly recommended.

Great service! The food was amazing, and the lovely staff were very accommodating. It was fun.

Great restaurant with fantastic service and a varied menu! Friendly, well-mannered staff 10/10

Great restaurant, great food, friendly staff. We'd love to come back.

The menu offers classic cuisine as well as more unusual dishes. The meat is tender as butter and everything is deliciously seasoned. The service is very friendly and attentive. And there's always something going on in the square. Definitely a recommendation.

Since our visit to Platzhirsch, I've also discovered Mutzbraten! What is that? Go there and order it yourself! 😄 The restaurant is located right on Wenigeplatz, one of Erfurt's central squares and practically at the end (or beginning, depending on which side you're coming from) of the Krämerbrücke bridge. The menu is varied and reasonably priced, the food itself was delicious, and the service was attentive and friendly. Unfortunately, there are also some people there who think they can actually make their time at the restaurant's outdoor dining area (incidentally, the last place the sun sets on the square) even more attractive by driving past in lowered cars with drilled exhausts—but stupidity isn't a matter of location.

Excellent ambiance, good, high-quality food, and delicious homemade pasta. The salad, however, could use a bit of an upgrade.

Very tasty food and friendly service!

We'll be back! Very well-located bar with very friendly and attentive staff. They even had a casual joke every now and then, which rounded off the whole experience. The drinks were delicious. We never had to wait long to order something new or pay. Very good service! Thank you for the pleasant evening.

Very friendly and attentive staff. As the name suggests, it's very nice and centrally located with both indoor and outdoor seating. They even bring you blankets upon request. The freshly fried salmon with beetroot puree and the Thuringian Mutzbraten were something special and very tasty.

From the table reservation to the service to the food, everything was top-notch. It won't be my last visit. :-)

Absolutely recommend it. Everything is perfect here! We'll be back. Thank you.

We had a delicious starter... mozzarella with Serrano, roasted mutton with dumplings and cabbage, and a venison burger with fries. It was delicious. The service was very friendly and prompt. The atmosphere on the outdoor terrace was great. We'd be happy to return.

The food and service were very good; we sat outside, which was also very pleasant. We'd be happy to go back! :)

A great restaurant with delicious food at reasonable prices, located right next to the Krämerbrücke bridge. When the weather's nice, you can relax outside under the linden trees with a view of the Wenigemarkt market. The homemade lemonades taste wonderfully fruity and fresh and are also highly recommended. The service is also super friendly and attentive. A definite recommendation when visiting Erfurt!

Wir haben hier eine Pause vom sightseeing gemacht und schön draußen am Wenigemarkt in der Maisonne gesessen. Das Essen war qualitativ und geschmacklich wirklich gut und hatte einige außergewöhnliche leckere Extras. Die Bedienung war nett und aufmerksam. Ein kleiner Fehler des Service wurde sofort und professionell korrigiert und als Entschuldigung gab es dann auch noch einen Espresso aufs Haus. Alles fein! Gern wieder.

Highly recommended. The food was delicious. Friendly service. We felt very comfortable.

Today was our first visit to Platzhirsch. Great location and a lovely outdoor seating area. The young lady was very quick and attentive, which is unfortunately rare. Great menu, so it was difficult to choose. The food was a dream! Both visually and tastefully. I've rarely eaten so well! 😋 Unfortunately, I missed a beer from Thuringia, but I can live with that. We'd be happy to come back. Absolutely recommend it 👍👍

I was there for the Cuba Night. Unfortunately the service was rude and kept us waiting for a long time. Unfortunately, as a regular customer, I'm not used to it here and I hope that it will be satisfactory again on my next visit. Best regards

Great location, friendly and super nice staff. Gladly again.

I had the goulash. The dumplings, like rubber, the meat consisted of 70% fat. I didn't find it that tasty. The service is very friendly. However, the fact that there is only one toilet is also less nice.

Unfortunately only two stars, the kitchen was responsible for that. I relied on the positive reviews on Google, but had a different experience. If you want to eat dumplings with goulash then ignore my review, I can't say anything about it. First of all, about the menu: It's May and the nice little menu still has the winter salad on it. This wouldn't be a big deal, but it lacks any trace of seasonality (May and no asparagus?). That was the first indication of a kitchen that makes things very easy. I chose the salmon fillet with risotto and braised cucumber vegetables and was excited about the combination of these components. I was served a beautifully presented canteen meal. It sounds harsh, but unfortunately it was. The “spinach risotto” was neither made from a proper grain of risotto rice (Arborio, Vialone, Carnaroli…), nor were there any traces of spinach or onions. The consistency revealed that it wasn't just a fresh risotto being cooked here, but that there were two large pots. A red one ("tomato risotto") and a green one ("spinach risotto"). I have to say that I am a passionate cook myself and have spent some time in Italy, but I have never encountered a risotto like this in a restaurant. The taste composition of the three different components (salmon, braised cucumbers, risotto) was also like being thrown together in a canteen. The portion was just okay, which speaks for real savings in terms of quality. In summary: The ambience outside is so nice that you get enough walk-in customers so that you really don't have to make any effort in the kitchen.

Very friendly and uncomplicated service. The boss himself was also very nice. Recommendation of the house self-created lilet variation with mango/passion fruit🍸 Food was excellent!

A visit here is always worth it. A small restaurant with a beautiful outdoor area, not far from the Krämerbrücke. Extremely friendly staff, very tasty food and excellent service. Absolute recommendation if you are in Erfurt. We really enjoyed it and would love to come back. The 5 points are there because unfortunately more is not possible.

Schönes kleines Lokal mit sehr leckerem Essen! Das Team vor Ort war sehr bemüht, freundlich und sympathisch! Wenn wir wieder auf der Durchreise sind, dann kommen wir definitiv zurück :)

Great location, super delicious food at a reasonable price and super nice people in the team! Clear recommendation!!

A very nicely located restaurant. The two ladies from the service are very attentive, friendly and accommodating. The portions of the food are great, it tastes very tasty and is beautifully prepared. A visit is definitely worth it.

Really a very successful restaurant with very good food.

Drinks and friendliness of the waitress were good, Kaiserschmarrn was ok. The ambience at the fish market is always good. What doesn't work is that 3 different cards didn't work, although I tried again afterwards and they worked perfectly. It's probably the case that you don't want to pay the fees for card payments, but you don't say so openly and try to blame the non-working cards, i.e. the customer.

We can absolutely recommend the restaurant!!!! The food was really tasty and sufficient. The service was friendly and the atmosphere outside was really great in April. You should definitely stop here⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We felt completely in good hands. Great service, sophisticated food and great location! We'll be back ❤️

Sehr angenehmes Ambiente; gute abwechslungsreiche Küche; Wildbratwurst/Wildgerichte...; netter Service; Außentische; Innen wenig Tische

Extremely friendly hosts and staff. Food was very interesting. Price performance was good

Best food! And the Kaiserscharrn!!!

We were there for lunch today. I haven't eaten something so delicious in a long time. We were served very friendly and every wish was fulfilled. Very child friendly. When we are back in Erfurt, we will come back. Thanks.

Tolle Essensauswahl, sehr freundlicher Service. Man kann draußen am schönen Wenigemarkt sitzen, oder drin - dort ist es eher klein und eng. Das Essen (Hauptgerichte) ist qualitativ und geschmacklich einfach großartig! Leider war der Kaiserschmarrn nicht gut (kleine Portion, fast ungesüßt und zu fest) Dennoch gebe ich 5 Punkte, weil die Hauptgerichte wirklich sehr sehr lecker sind.

Nice restaurant, manageable menu, food very tasty, staff is very attentive and friendly

Es wird jeder Wunsch erfüllt, sehr aufmerksame Bedienung und Chef, handwerklich und geschmacklich top. Schöner Außenbeleuchtung.

You put a smile on my face. Such delicious food and super friendly service. Be sure to come by and enjoy. I'll be back.

Great food. Super friendly and competent staff. Kind regards go out to Hannes and Christoph the chef. We would be happy to come back.

I was here for a birthday party with my family. My food tasted good. Some others' dishes, however, really left a lot to be desired. Some of the food is not prepared properly and/or there is far too little. The meat is cooked noticeably too hard and you only get a piece the size of two fingers. The dumplings are just slightly larger than table tennis balls. We were told it would be passed on. The service, on the other hand, is nice and understanding. For those who didn't have enough there was an extra portion. The price of the extra portion was waived and two free coffees were included. The restaurant is very cramped and crowded. Hardly any space to eat. But it has to be said that there were seven of us there. You can only really sit outside in summer.

Very nice restaurant. The food can only be recommended. Delicious! 😋

So, first of all. The store is actually designed for summer operations. In winter it gets a bit cozy in the restaurant, which is why it only gets 2 stars for the ambience. (Sat behind the door, but better than not at all) We were in Erfurt last week and I looked for some restaurants on TripAdvisor and came across the top dog there. Standard German is spoken here, which definitely made it easier for me as a tourist. The service was very competent and I had a pleasant, open but professional manner. The chef also enjoys praise. Just like every cook (praise the hands that prepare your food more(!)) Now for the most important part - the food. I took the offer on the board because, as I know it, it's a changing program and you can usually try out something really good and new there. I had the fish, my friend had the beer goulash. Both were very tasty and I was more than surprised at the price of the food. In my hometown you would pay twice as much for such quality. What I also thought was great was the atmosphere later after most of the guests had left, we were able to chat with the people there and find out more about the restaurant. So. An absolute recommendation if you are in Erfurt. Next year we will come again. We are looking forward to seeing you.

We ate at Platzhirsch for the second time today and once again we were not disappointed. Very friendly. Very tasty and to the point. Gladly again!!

Excellent restaurant, very happy.

I'm sorry, but what was it today? The service was ok, if I ignore the fact that the waitresses were sitting on the floor, street clothes seem to be work clothes. Attentive nonetheless. Taste wise, a bit cold. Food not really fresh (mushy, brown mint / salad), ready-made dumplings etc. BUT! The restaurant was really cold, it smelled unpleasant and didn't seem inviting. There's actually a different way .So no matter what in the meantime. Time is going on, but a change would be necessary.

For dinner in the very cozy, very small restaurant, cafe. The staff was friendly, but not technically trained. The food was okay, but maybe only frozen goods. (Duck breast with Thuringian dumplings). I would have served the green salad separately. The sanitary facilities are extremely small, toilets for men and women are common, but clean. Booking a table in advance is recommended.

Small but nice! Very tasty food and we were served very friendly and courteously. Gladly again on the next visit to Erfurt. Simply great!

Waren zum ersten Mal hier und hatten eigentlich mehr erwartet. Das Gulasch in Bier mit Klößen war ganz gut, die Entenbrust leider viel zu durch gebraten und zäh wie Leder. Obwohl sie rosa bestellt war. Es ist sehr eng dort, wer es mag... Bei unserem nächsten Erfurt Besuch probieren wir ein anderes Restaurant aus.

Cozy, great menu and friendly staff. The food is very tasty. Would love to come back.

We enjoyed the food very much. The service was very nice and friendly.

Ein neues frisches Restaurant, welches am 21.05.2022 neu eröffnet wurde. Diese kleine gemütliche Lokalität bietet Sitzplätze innen und außen, sodass man direkten Kontakt mit dem Wenigemarkt hat. Wir waren mit einer Gruppe von 7 Personen kurz nach Eröffnung da und wurden sofort freundlich und zuvorkommend zu einer neu zusammengestellten Tischgruppe begleitet. Preis und Qualität sind in einem sehr guten Verhältnis. Frische Produkte, neue Essenskonstellationen sowie ein sehr guter Geschmack steht hier im Vordergrund. Leider war mein Steak nicht mehr medium, trotzdem noch saftig und schmackhaft. Dafür wurde auf der Rechnung kulanter Weise ein Getränk gestrichen. Nichtsdestotrotz war es ein sehr schöner, gemütlicher und geschmackvoller Abend mit hervorragender Bedienung! 4,5*

A culinary experience in the heart of Erfurt! The visit to the Platzhirsch restaurant on the Wenigemarkt was a thoroughly pleasant experience. The cozy, inviting atmosphere of the small, stylish restaurant makes it special. The food was convincing from starter to dessert: lovingly prepared, tasted excellent and the meat was cooked perfectly. I find the combination of traditional Thuringian cuisine and modern influences, which is implemented creatively and convincingly, particularly successful. The selection of drinks is small, but well chosen and varied. If you would like to try something new: the Harz cheese, which is currently offered as a starter, was a real surprise for me. Although I'm not normally a fan of it, this showed how versatile and tasty it can be. A little highlight! Conclusion: At Top Dog, quality meets creative ideas. Here you can be surprised by the culinary delights and you are guaranteed not to be disappointed.

Small and fine restaurant at the Wenigemarkt Erfurt. Interesting menu, it tasted great. The staff was very friendly. We'd love to come back.

Delicious food, went very quickly. A bit limited space, but otherwise great

Actually the “top dog” at Erfurt’s Wenigemarkt! Super nice service, always friendly and accommodating. The food is great, I'm there regularly... even if sometimes it's just for a beer. :) Currently there is a new menu with dishes that I have never seen anywhere else in Erfurt! Keep it up! 👌🏽

Been here multiple times during last summer. I loved the pulled pork burger. And the prawn salad with dried tomatoes was much better than I had anticipated. Good food, friendly service.

A little pearl in Erfurt! Great food, very friendly staff - we felt comfortable and can highly recommend the top dog. We'll be back :))

Really great shop, food was delicious and really friendly service. Feel free to come back🙂🙂

Perfect. Thank you for the excellent food and service. Hopefully see you soon. 👍

Mega delicious food. Gaby is super nice and the staff is absolutely recommendable.

Very nice restaurant with super delicious food, just like mom's. Had black beer goulash with Thuringian dumplings and sauerkraut. Highly recommended. The staff is very nice and attentive. Gladly again❤️

Very great restaurant, very friendly service and delicious food. Gladly again👌🏻 Greetings from the dental technicians :)

Food & service really great, but tables very small and cramped. You have to like…

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.

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

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