Restaurant Mönchshof in Halle (Saale)

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.

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.

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.

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

One of the best restaurants in the Saalestadt. Good food and always friendly service. I also think it's good that you have a small beer garden here and can eat your food in the wonderful summer weather. Today I had lunch with you and I have to say I really enjoyed it. Here you will receive a very friendly and very good welcome. My food tasted very good and I would like to praise the chef for that. I also think it's very good how the menu is structured. And it is also commendable that a little bit of the history of the restaurant is noted in the menu. I can only recommend you and stay as you are. 👍👍👍👍 Unfortunately I was disappointed with my last visit to you, I'm already used to a lot in the catering industry, but I wasn't used to such a welcome from a waiter. I saw myself that the restaurant was full. His words were as a welcome with the meal, which may take a little longer, but we close at 3 p.m. In order not to get involved in any discussion, I decided to leave the restaurant. So I will deduct 2 stars from your 5 stars. In a restaurant of your class you should treat guests completely differently, because the guest is the king and not the waiter.

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

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

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 😀

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.

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.

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

From the service to the food, everything was perfect, again at any time. A great, spontaneous choice! Starter soup, garlic bread, rabbit, everything was perfect.

It is a restaurant that every visitor must experience. Impressive dishes with unobtrusive service is unique. Even the waitress says goodbye to the guest, even when she is off duty and the replacement continued to confuse us. I haven't experienced that yet. Excellent art of pampering guests.

It was a cozy evening with great service. The farmer's breakfast was far too much and unfortunately a little under-spiced. We felt comfortable and the dessert was delicious. Gladly again, then with a children's portion 😀

A very nice restaurant. Very nice and friendly service and very good food awaits you here. Thanks to the team.

Cozy restaurant with very good cuisine and attentive staff. Would love to come back.

The food sounded very tasty and it was, the only thing I was missing was the seasoning when it came to salt frying. Was a bit bland. But otherwise everything is good.

Tolles Essen und sehr tolles 🍺 🍻.

We eat lunch here once or twice a year while passing through. The restaurant is characterized by attentive but unobtrusive service and lovingly and deliciously prepared dishes in an antique ambience. It was always relatively full when we visited, but you have something to see and talk about because you're sitting at the table with strangers when there are two of you. I can fully recommend the restaurant.

High-quality ingredients but unfortunately without perfection in preparation. Unfortunately the farmer's salad and the beer chicken were too salty. The beer chicken was supposed to be a chicken breast, but it came as a sliced ​​meat with a lot of sauce and it had a sour note of onions and beer. The fine seafood is high quality but boring, the saffron sauce has little flavor and is lost in the mass of noodles, the shrimp and scallop lack spices. The noble fish comes in a breading; unfortunately, the advertised soaking in milk does not make it tender in this case but rather gives it an unpleasant acidity. The winter vegetables and the savoy cabbage were generally too hard and cooked very unevenly. The mashed potatoes had no taste whatsoever, there was no butter or nutmeg. Maybe we were just unlucky because the ambience, service and ingredients were of high quality, it's a shame...

A great restaurant! Brilliant service and the food is super delicious 😋 We would love to come back...

Great service, great food, I can recommend it to everyone. Price-performance ratio is right

Preço compatível. Excelente comida. Ótimo atendimento.

Einfach spitze, Empfang, Service und Essen sind der Hammer. Vielen herzlichen Dank an den Mönchshof.

Das Restaurant ist noch eines der wenigen in Halle wo man nicht auf die Bedienung warten muss ist immer da wenn man was bestellen will.

Sehr gutes und schmackhaftes Essen, guter Service, sehr zu empfehlen

Un bel posto un buon ambiente buon servicio comida típica della Germanía. Qualita prezzo eccellente. Consigliatissimo.

Sehr leckeres Essen, super nettes Personal, rustikales Ambiente. Mitten in nder Alstadt. 5 Sterne sind zu wenig ä.

Sehr leckeres Essen und dazu leckeres Bier

Wir hatten für den 23.12. einen Tisch für 2 reserviert, da wir einen Gutschein von Freunden bekommen hatten und vor dem Weihnachtsstress der kommenden Tage nochmal entspannen wollten. Sehr erfreulich: Uns empfing eine sehr ruhige und freundliche Atmosphäre, Die wir so (einen Tag vor Weihnachten) nicht erwartet hatten. Das Lokal selbst strahlte eine Ruhe und Tradition aus Die uns sehr gefiel. Der Service war super und die Speisen kamen ungewohnt schnell. Wir entschieden uns für die Speisen von der weihnachtlichen Wildkarte. Es war alles sehr lecker und toll angerichtet. Hervorheben möchte ich das hervorragende Servicepersonal: Handschuhe fürs Besteck, auf Wunsch zusätzliche Soße und ein bestens zusammenarbeitendes Team. Wer einmal die Erfahrung machen möchte wie sehr gute deutsche Küche auf ein gehobenes Niveau gebracht wird, der ist im Mönchshof sehr gut aufgehoben. Perfekt für Essen mit der Familie! Mein Tipp zur Ergänzung der Weinkarte: Reichen sie zu der hervorragenden Käseplatte einen Sauternes Dessertwein! Das unterstreicht die die tollen Käsesorten und rundet die Platte noch besser ab! 👍🤗

Essen und Service gut. Jederzeit wieder.

Gehobene Preise aber eben auch gehobene Küche und gehobener Service. Wenn es mal kulinarisch etwas Besonderes sein soll ist der Mönchshof eine gute Empfehlung. Gemütlicheres oder originelleres Ambiente gibt es auf jeden Fall aber der Fokus liegt hier ganz klar auf dem kulinarischen Erlebnis und nicht dem Schnickschnack drumherum.

Urig, traditionell, bezahlbar, Service und Speisen sehr gut!

Sehr netter Service, leckeres Bier 🍺 und das Essen war auch super! Wir saßen am Tresen und haben sehr nett mit einigen Mitarbeitern unterhalten ! Tolle Insidertipps wurden uns auch verraten! Unbedingt vorher reservieren!!! Wir kommen gerne wieder!

20230906 wir waren nach unserer Trauung auf den Hausmannstürme hier essen. Da wir weit im Voraus einen Tisch reserviert hatten, war uns der Platz auch sicher. Das Ambiente ist sehr schön und auch der Tisch wurde sehr liebevoll dekoriert. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und nicht aufdringlich. Das Essen war sehr lecker und die Portionen waren ordentlich. Danke für die schöne Zeit. Absolut empfehlenswert.

Super Leckeres Essen und ein tolles Ambiente, aber das alles wird nur von den Kellnern getoppt. Selten so freundliches und kompetentes Personal erlebt. Super herzlich und nett. Trotz komplett ausgebucht im Gastraum, Immer sofort bemerkt, wenn das Glas leer war und super beraten. Mehr gegessen und getrunken, durch top Beratung. Der Gastwirt kann stolz auf sein Personal sein. Weiter so, wir kommen wieder, mit Garantie!

Leckeres Essen, schöne Atmosphäre und lockere Bedienung, die immer einen Spruch auf den Lippen hat. War sicher nicht mein letzter Besuch.

Super Gaststätte wo man sich wohl fühlt. Ausgezeichneter Service. Nur das Essen macht alles kaputt. Hatten Samstag Steak au four bestellt. Steak war nur ein bißchen angedünstet ohne Gewürze. Das Würzfleisch auf dem Steak war nur gewürfeltes Schweinefleisch ohne alles nur gedünstete Würfel ohne Soße und mit einer Käseimitation überbacken. Salattasse war auch nicht besonders. Rucola,Feldsalat usw. mit einem Hauch von Dressing.

Es gibt jede Monat einen Spezialität. Alles war lecker. Reservierung ist erforderlich, da meist ausgebucht (auch unter der Woche).

Hatte Hirschschnitzel, naja Kruste ist anders, Bedienung Note 3, 45min Wartezeit-

Während der Öffnungszeit gab es nur zum Mittag und zum Abend je eine kurze Zeitspanne in der die Küche geöffnet war. Die Qualität der Speisen und Getränke sowie der Service waren eher mäßig aber preisintensiv. Dessert war eine Enttäuschung - das Törtchen war ein harter Keks und die Birnen-Mousse war Schlagsahne mit Geschmack. Die Tische sind eng gestellt und es ist ziemlich laut. Mittelmaß auf ganzer Linie.

Essen war sehr gut. Personal war trotz des guten Besuchs, ohne Reservierung gab es keinen Platz mehr, nett und auf Zack. Preise sind angemessen.
