Restaurant Mönchshof in Halle (Saale)

We made reservations for our 70th birthday. The staff was very attentive and friendly. The dishes were a feast for the eyes and the palate. The children's menu, designed as a coloring book, was well received by the six-year-old granddaughter. We will recommend this restaurant. Many thanks to all employees 🫶

Very great atmosphere and super friendly staff, plenty of food to choose from and very tasty.

Great ambience and delicious food.

Fantastic restaurant!!!! We were there for the first time yesterday, for Valentine's Day. We would receive a very friendly welcome. The tables were decorated to match the holiday. The service listened to our every wish and was very attentive. The food was brought quickly and warm. It tasted fantastic. The prices are absolutely reasonable. The atmosphere is pretty quaint. We will definitely be regular guests there. Definitely recommended and deserves 5 stars 🌟! Thanks

Well-kept restaurant 👍 Service staff friendly and attentive👍👍👍👍👍 Thanks to the chef, we haven't eaten so well in a long time ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ .We say thank you, my husband had a lovely birthday with YOU 🫶🫶🫶We'll be back 😋😋😋😋😋.

Yes, but it's best to order in advance. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Food is very good.

Super nice service, good menu with dishes for everyone, pleasant stay.

First Time I come from France to Halle for work and I found this german restaurant. Everything was incredible. pils beer was very nice and boar with cabbage was amazing. If you look for a nice place with nice people for local food, it is here. Bonus: they speak english.

A pleasure, a pure pleasure. Friendly staff, nice atmosphere. If you are looking for a fine restaurant in Halle, you have come to the right place. The menu is very clear, and there are also offers that match the month and what is offered seasonally. From the starter to the main course, everything was excellently prepared and tasted great. We also got balsamic vinegar and olive oil for the starter. It was a really nice day at the Mönchhof and I would love to come back.

Great food great service 👍 I always hated it, but I've been there twice now and loved it each time. Kitchen is high quality

Well, I'm not a fan of the food. There are a number of vegetarian/vegan dishes that “sound” good, but they seem to be uninspired and mass-produced. In any case, they don't taste fresh, but rather like a standard sauce. Too bad! The service, on the other hand, is very attentive and humorous.

Absolute recommendation if you are looking for good regional cuisine.

Good food, very attentive service. The eight of us had a lovely evening.

Very nice restaurant, very tasty dishes, service and staff very accommodating, absolutely recommended.

Very pleasant service, excellent food, chic atmosphere, very good value for money all around.

Very friendly staff, delicious food... absolute recommendation from me ✅

Went to Mönchshof for the third time and can only recommend it. Great food, excellent service. We'll definitely be back.

Stayed in Halle for one night. It was Boxing Day. We spontaneously ended up in the Mönchshof. The super nice service person also had a nice table for us. Our little dog wasn't a problem either. The food was very good. If we had been in Halle longer, we would certainly have stopped there again.

The food was excellent, we had a gourmet platter. We didn't have a reservation but we got a table easily. Thank you again for that. The staff can really only be praised.

Perfect food at reasonable prices. Gladly again!!!

The food alone is fantastic, but the ambience and pleasant service make the visit even better. Definitely recommended

We were lucky on December 22nd. to get another reservation and would like to say thank you for the successful moment. The food was perfect and the staff were very friendly. The prices are reasonable. Definitely a recommendation.

We had lunch on the first Advent. As usual from the restaurant, the food was of a high standard and really tasty. Despite the dining room being full, the time from ordering to serving was really quick - just 18 minutes. The service was really super friendly. We would be happy to come back as guests.

Cozy restaurant with very nice service and great food! Gladly again!

Wonderful as ever, the food was amazing. Great service. Only the noise level is high, but that's just the way it is and can't be changed. We'll be happy to come back regularly! 2nd wedding anniversary was very nice.

Thanks to the restaurant team for a pleasant, informative evening

We had lunch here. A great atmosphere with attentive service. The food was wonderful and there are themed menus that change every month to suit the season. The portions are very generous and the cocktails were delicious. We will definitely come back.

Very nice location where you can enjoy a cozy get-together and very good food. The service was very good.

We have never been disappointed at the Mönchshof, everything was 1A.

Here you can have a very good lunch in a relaxed atmosphere. The staff is friendly and accommodating.

I ate salad with poultry. I liked the idea of ​​topping it with apple and nuts. The dressing was boring

Very harmonious overall package, from the welcome to payment. The food was very good, although it was difficult to decide given the great menu.

THE best food I’ve had in Halle is here! The Salmon dish was mindblowing, truly a good dinner.

Very good food and friendly service.

Cozy, very friendly and funny staff and great food. Prices are also reasonable for the quality. :)

Super delicious food! … one of the best steaks we have ever eaten. Also the great pork medallions! Super nice and flexible staff... and accessibility for people with mobility problems with wheelchairs is also very good - the staff here is also very helpful.

The Mönchshof has been an institution in Halle for decades and this time too I was not disappointed. I've been to the restaurant twice for dinner over the Christmas period and absolutely loved it both times. Of course, it is even more advisable to make a reservation at this time than usual, but we know that. I didn't find any of my companions (in each case several people) who had the slightest reason to complain. A model restaurant for Halle and beyond. Gladly again at any time. Update August 2023: My opinion of the restaurant is unchanged. Update October 2024: My assessment remains absolutely unchanged. Top recommendation, be sure to reserve in advance.

I was here again after a very long time and was pleasantly surprised, very friendly welcome and quick service. The food was delicious and plentiful. I would love to come back.

Actually a visually pleasant restaurant, but the service was rude and even rude. One could only be amazed at the way in which some questions or requests were responded to. We were there with a small group at a time when the restaurant was hardly busy and the food had been pre-ordered. Nevertheless, there was sometimes chaos and a long waiting time. The feeling remained that I wasn't really welcome as a guest and that it would be better to disappear quickly. While eating we had the impression that there was more appearance than reality here.

Best service in a rustic, stylish atmosphere. Currently French cuisine. I had pike perch with rice, fennel honey vegetables and black tiger prawns, a very good dish... many thanks to the kitchen.

Very good service, friendly staff and very tasty food, we didn't miss anything. Thank you again

The food is really good and the service is great too. Classic furnishings building has existed since 1888

It took a long time but it was worth the wait

A place that invites you to linger! Excellent food and very nice service! We'd love to come back!

Very nice restaurant with a great menu. We were very satisfied and would like to come back.

Restaurant is highly recommended. Nice and competent staff and super delicious food.

Great fine dining in a cozy, authentic atmosphere. Price performance is more than appropriate. The service staff is always friendly and professional. It's no surprise that the Mönchshof is often well attended and it's better to reserve in advance. Keep it up. We'd love to come back.

We were served in a friendly and satisfied manner. All dishes were very tasty! The team survived Corona with all its lying requirements. Instead of being happy that this excellent gastronomic establishment still opens its doors regularly, the landlord is accused by some brains & invertebrates of divisiveness just because he expresses his opinion in his menu about increased costs and their causes. FREEDOM is always the FREEDOM of those who think differently! (Rosa Luxembourg) One guest even publicly worries on the rating portal about what the host actually chooses!!! Honesty is for strong people, the weak choose lies. Another quote from the German peasant leader Thomas Müntzer, who said the following words 500 years ago: “The gentlemen do it themselves so that the poor man becomes their enemy. They don't want to dismiss the cause of the turmoil. How can the length be good? If I say that, I must be rebellious!” Stay strong, dear Jens & team. We'll be happy to come back, the spineless people are welcome to stay at home!

We haven't eaten so well in a long time. Every single person in our group was extremely enthusiastic about the food. Whether it was fish, veggies or Kaiserschmarn for dessert, everything was freshly prepared and tasted excellent.

Guys, please don't read reviews, just book seats! And if you want to do me a favor, don't book if I really want to go there again. The food is top-notch, the service is customer-friendly and the prices for the package are reasonable. Google asked to update, gladly. Still wonderful food, with fantastic, warm service. And all in a cultivated atmosphere.

...what more words do you need... It was a dream in every sense... Food perfect... wine well chilled... the conditions ALL are super nice and accommodating... FIVE STARS PLUS

Have been here very often. Meal offerings vary throughout the seasons. Well-filled plates and high-quality food. Great staff/service. Always up for pleasantries. We feel very comfortable here. Please stay as you are.

I was at Mönchshof for the first time last Saturday. It was just great!!! The food was super great, the service was excellent and the atmosphere was cozy. In short, everything was right. It was a wonderful evening in an absolutely fantastic restaurant, highly recommended!!

Very tasty food at fair prices. Nice atmosphere and very nice service. Gladly again 👍🏼

Possibly the best German food in town. Cozy yet neat atmosphere.

Delicious. Very friendly service. Definitely come back next time you visit Halle.

Went to the restaurant yesterday and had reserved in advance. Very pleasant atmosphere, very friendly, courteous staff (tagliatelle or spaghetti?) and the quality, appearance and taste of the food are excellent! Anytime again, thank you very much.

Completed the weekend trip with culinary delights in the “Mönchshof” on Saturday, June 15th, 2024. Reservation by telephone is recommended. Service quick and attentive as well as friendly. No long wait for drinks and food. The portions were large. Freshly prepared and tasty. Above all, not overly seasoned. If I'm in Halle again, I definitely know where I'm going to eat. Thank you very much. We had banana wheat, wheat non-alcoholic. Farmer's breakfast and gourmet platter.👍👍👍👍👍Table 2.

On point! Very friendly staff and the asparagus was on point. Where else can you get such great fresh hollandaise? Gladly again.

Cozy little restaurant with friendly staff. And we really enjoyed the food too.

Very good food (veal schnitzel with asparagus), very friendly female service who made our stay a culinary experience

The best restaurant in Halle. Delicious German and international cuisine. Very friendly and competent service. I have never been disappointed with the food and the creative and tasty dishes are a poem. I always look forward to eating here again. Thank you very much and keep it up.

Very courteous service, excellent food.

Relaxed atmosphere, good food, very friendly and attentive service. We always enjoy coming back

Delicious food, friendly service

Very tasty food and great service. We'd love to come back.

Gastronomy with more special dishes. Except for the lunch menu, high prices.

For decades, the Mönchshof has been a safe address for high-quality, home-style cuisine in a historic ambience!

The best German restaurant far and wide. Although, best of all, a description would have sufficed. Top

An insider tip in Halle. Be sure to reserve in advance!!

Just perfect. Great food, great service.

Everything was perfect, daily menu for 17 euros was good!

Today we had our class reunion after 37 years with you. The waiter Erik was very attentive and enhanced everything a little more. Food very tasteful. Drinks also came very quickly. All in all a very nice and successful stay

Great service, great food and a pleasant atmosphere gave my guests a wonderful evening.👍👍👍

We've been here for ages and were pleasantly surprised. Very friendly and professional reservation acceptance. Reservations are also highly recommended during the week. The welcome was very friendly, as was the service, without being intrusive. Food and drinks with a good price/performance ratio. Our food was very tasty and plentiful. The good ambience rounded off the lovely visit to the restaurant. Top location in the center of Halle with parking spaces and tram nearby. In summer with a small patio in front of the door. Overall, highly recommended

The food was delicious, but we had to wait a long time for it. The service was friendly but cleared away glasses/plates etc. too quickly, which I found unpleasant as a guest. For example, she reached over my shoulder and poured me my beer (even though there was still some left in the glass) from the bottle that was on the table. This gave me the impression that I should drink faster. I ate and drank there for 30 euros and our group made a total of at least 500 euros in sales. There's no need to be offended just because I don't like dessert. Then the waitress didn't bring the side dish until I had already eaten half the dish. Otherwise the food was delicious, but the atmosphere was rather loud.

The food was very tasty but there was a long wait until the food was at the table. Service everything was great Ambiance could be a little brighter

Unfortunately, roast venison was tough - price-performance ratio was unfortunately not optimal. Service was friendly - but we were “forgotten” at the beginning and only served late. In the evening the outside tables are poorly lit.

We've eaten out several times and it always tastes very good.

Lovingly furnished restaurant, nice and attentive staff. Very nice menu with culinary seasonal offerings for the whole year. The quality of the food is recommended, the portions are very large. Thank you. We'd love to come back.

The food was delicious and the service was great

Monchshof is one of those German restaurants where you can’t see inside before you enter the premises. Despite that I decided to give it a go, and am extremely pleased I did. Excellent dish of the day: chicken breast stuffed with feta, served with potato wedges, glazed carrots, tzatziki and salad garnish. Wide selection of wines, by the bottle and by the glass, and reasonably priced eaux de vie. Excellent espresso coffee too. Service was both courteous and highly professional. The toilet facilities were immaculately clean. The place is clearly very popular with regulars, and it is advisable to book.

Very cozy atmosphere and very attentive and friendly staff. However, the food itself didn't really blow us away. Some of it was only lukewarm and the meat wasn't particularly tender. The vegetables were carelessly placed on the plate, they were pretty bland and hard. The portions were more than sufficient and the price was reasonable.

We had dinner at Mönchshof last Thursday, for the first time after the VAT was raised again to 19 percent. From the ambience to the friendly staff to the food, everything was really great, just as we have known it for years. The goat cheese is a dream, the scallops were also enthusiastic :) In terms of price, we hardly noticed any differences compared to 2023. Ultimately, as is unfortunately the case in every other restaurant, the menu tells you how the pricing is determined and which factors are taken into account. In my opinion, anyone who comes from the hospitality industry or self-employment can understand the pressure the hospitality industry/self-employed people have been put under for years to, on the one hand, work economically and, on the other hand, to fulfill all the requirements "from above"... Our visit to... The explanation of the pricing has not affected Mönchshof, we will continue to eat there 😀

The Mönchshof offers well-prepared food - I found the wild boar on offer particularly positive - and friendly service. Both starters and main courses were well thought out and reasonably priced. The beer is also tasty. Unfortunately, the owner apparently cannot resist giving a political message and opinion in his card, which contributes to the division of society, endangers democracy and thus disqualifies the restaurant from further visits. An unsubstantiated and therefore sweeping, polemical political statement should have no place on a restaurant menu.” I don't want to know which party the restaurant owner is affiliated with or how he feels about the work of the federal government! Very disappointing as the food really tastes good.

My friends and I were actually satisfied with the food and the service. The starters and main courses were well prepared and we also liked the recommended beer. What has clouded the impression of all of us enormously and leaves us stunned: The restaurant has political messages on its menu that, in today's difficult times, further contribute to the division of society and, in their absoluteness, defame and degrade those who think differently. A message like this has no place on a restaurant menu. I don't want to know which party the restaurant owner votes for! We will therefore refrain from further visits and are very disappointed. A pity.

Although my friends and I enjoyed the food and service, we were severely disappointed by the restaurant's inclusion of political messages in the menu. We prefer restaurants that focus on food preparation and a well-rounded overall experience without making an unsolicited political statement. For this reason we will prefer other locations in the future.

Really great place! The food is excellent, the staff extremely courteous and nice. Highly Recommended!

We visited the restaurant based on a recommendation and traditionally ordered rabbit with boiled potatoes and my wife ordered pork schnitzel. The schnitzel had to be complained about because it was too salty. Unfortunately, the rabbit was cooked a little too softly and was bland and lacked the typical gamey taste. The potatoes were partly watery, mealy and tasteless and I should have complained immediately, but I didn't want to cause more discord because of the previously complained pork schnitzel.

Quaint, beautiful location in a historical ambience and delicious traditional food, plentiful, special and delicious. Clear recommendation with reservation!

A very cozy restaurant in the city center, below the market square in Halle/Saale. The service was very friendly and attentive and the food was very, very tasty. We had a great time and will definitely come back. 10 out of 10 points.

Reservation requested online for May. Was rejected without explanation. I would find a little explanation objective and normal.

Great staff and delicious food in a beautiful location. Only recommended. We'll be back, thank you :-)

Very tasty food, well-stocked menu, service with a kick, great restaurant on site

Were there for the first time and we really liked it. The service was very quick, friendly and attentive. The food (Alsatian-style goose breast) came after about 30 minutes and was very good all around! Unfortunately I only finished half of my plate, but my companion helped me (...). The ambience is cozy and fits the concept. You feel good and sit comfortably. The prices of the dishes are slightly above average for the region, but appropriate for the quality. We would recommend making a reservation. We'd love to come back :)

An all-round successful evening! Certainly not the cheapest restaurant in town, but that's not the goal here. The service and quality of the dishes make it something special that you are more willing to pay the euro for.

We had arranged to meet up with friends and relied on the Google reviews, 4.7 stars and were full of anticipation… What can I say, it was okay, but we definitely won't come back. Rather average food, hardly seasoned and nothing special.

⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ since I can only give 5, a clear 10 out of 10, great taste, super nice service and cozy rustic furnishings. Definitely always a visit

Nice, cozy atmosphere, very nice and quick service and delicious food. Very pleasant all around and we would be happy to come back.

A really great restaurant for a long time. There were 9 of us and all the food and starters were absolutely delicious
