Restaurant Mönchshof in Halle (Saale)

Halle isn't that inviting when you get off at the main station, but after a few meters into the city center you come across this restaurant at a crossroads. Very nice inside, just the crossroads outside. The food is very good. They make an effort and 3 courses for 20 euros are actually too good. If I'm ever in Halle again I'll stop by.

This restaurant is highly recommended. Very friendly service. The food was excellent.

Good food, priced on the higher end.

I've rarely been served so kindly and courteously...Highly recommended. Top service, 10-star cuisine

New drinks are slow to arrive. Old plates aren't cleared away even though staff walk past you into the kitchen.

I've known this restaurant for over 30 years and come here occasionally, sometimes just with my partner, sometimes with friends, or even with the whole family. I've never been disappointed because everything is just right. The food is delicious, the prices are right, and the service is simply sensational—always friendly, prompt, and always ready to make a good joke. That was also the case on our last visit in March, when we celebrated my husband's 60th birthday. I just wanted to say thank you again, especially because the reservation was made at relatively short notice and still worked out.

Typically Saxon, very friendly staff, the food is top, very good if you want to spend a nice evening with friends

Lovely place with great food and great service too.

Cozy ambience, friendly service and excellent food – the Möchshof is always worth a visit

It was our first time at the restaurant and it probably won't be the last time

Delicious food and the ambience leaves nothing to be desired and the service reads your wishes from your eyes. Highly recommended.

Very friendly and qualified staff, and excellent food that, despite being busy, is prepared and served with top quality and on time! I especially recommend the dessert. Very good, home-style cooking!

It was once again delicious. We had lamb and pike-perch. The service was once again very good and friendly.

Really delicious, thank you, I'll be back

Highly recommended. Very good German cuisine. Service is great.

Waited 1 hour for food. Food was dry and not salted enough, vegetables were very al dente. Staff a bit aggressive (we apparently didn't order enough drinks).

We would need 11 places for our seminar group meeting at very short notice. We called 1 day before. Nice friendly people could help us. The food was super tasty. Very good and cozy restaurant.

Always worth a visit. Very friendly with top quality!

We would like to thank the staff for the lovely celebration. On Saturday 19.04 25 The food was simply great, the service was very nice and funny. We'd love to come back. Thank you 👍👍👍👍👍

Nice, quick and helpful service. Orders were served quickly and almost at the same time. The food is good but there is still room for improvement. The fine-tuning when using spices should still be optimized.

Even though all the seats were reserved, the friendly waiter tried to give me a seat. The food was excellent and as a surprise for activating the website there was also a small dessert. The restaurant is definitely recommended. Thank you!

Very good quality, very good cuisine, highly recommended

Mega schnitzel, super relaxed waiter, family-run restaurant with tradition. We are thrilled!!!

It is a lovely place with a real feel good atmosphere. The food was lovely and completely as you would hope in Germany😊 Nice wine Fantastic dessert with expresso and a Swiss brandy❤️

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

I've been there twice during my lunch break now. (the second time even with a pre-order with a larger group of colleagues) In addition to the delicious dishes on the menu, the 3-course lunch menu is highly recommended. Of course... not every day, but every now and then you can "treat yourself" to it for less than EUR 20.00 The staff is super nice!!

The restaurant combines the charm of a quaint corner pub with excellent food and great service.

We dined at the Mönchshof for lunch on March 8, 2025. We thoroughly enjoyed the food, the service, and the ambiance. We will definitely be back. The Mönchshof is highly recommended.

Highly recommended ☝️ important to reserve 🙂 also vegan/veganized dishes 👍

We had a reservation for lunch today and we were all very impressed. Friendly reception, very nice service. Gastronomy at its finest...good school...The food was very good in terms of quality, freshness, presentation and of course the taste. Now I can imagine why reservations have to be made... Thank you for the good hospitality. Kind regards from the Dockhorn family

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 😋😋😋😋😋.

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

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

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!!!

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!!

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