Wirtshaus Christoffel in Erfurt

Great restaurant in the old town of Erfurt. Very nice atmosphere.

Hearty restaurant with very fair prices for Erfurt's city center. Went quickly and was tasty

Went there for the first time and ordered a starter, big mistake because then we were completely overwhelmed with the main course (robber's skewer), so we took some food with us. Food great quality, very seasoned and very attractively presented. I'm already looking forward to the next time, maybe without a starter but maybe with dessert. Absolutely recommended, great atmosphere.

Just great. Nice ambience, very tasty food, super friendly service, which conveys the medieval flair very well and really good prices. We would love to come back.

Very, very tasty food, fast service

Very tasty food, great ambience, extraordinary atmosphere. Always happy!!!

Very good restaurant with a cool medieval look with delicious food and drinks. Landed there by chance and 100% recommended.

What can I write... Perfect as always. Full of ribs - highly recommended 👍

A visit to the Christoffel inn in Erfurt is like traveling back in time to the Middle Ages! 🏰 As soon as you enter, you are greeted by the rustic knight-style furnishings: rustic wooden furniture, furs and armor create an authentic atmosphere. 🛡️🔥 The honey beer 🍯🍺 is particularly recommended - a tasty, sweet beer with a pronounced honey note that will delight lovers of special beers.  The menu offers a variety of hearty dishes that go perfectly with the ambience. The portions are generous and leave nothing to be desired. A tip: If you want to stop by and eat spontaneously, you should come outside of peak times, as the inn is often busy and otherwise all the seats can be occupied. The staff is friendly and adds to the authentic medieval experience. Overall, an all-round successful evening in a special atmosphere. We were thrilled and would love to come back!  #WirtshausChristoffel #Erfurt #Middle Ages #Honey Beer #Rittermahl #ErfurtExperience #Middle AgesFlair #Culinary #Time Travel

So we reserved a group. We were assigned our seats and after a short time we ordered our drinks, which were at the table just as quickly as the food. I was skeptical but there was something on offer here in terms of taste. The meat was cooked very well with a sauce that played well with the sweetness of the berries. I also ordered a pilsner which was also very tasty. In terms of price, I was thinking of low quality or small portions. Neither was the case. I now visit this restaurant every time I come to Erfurt.

World class! Quaint, friendly, fast. Keep it up!

Good quality and quantity of food. The medieval decor is very cool.

Very good price-performance ratio. I can recommend half duck with dumpling and red cabbage.

Very quaint and sociable. Always something going on.

Great restaurant, beautiful medieval ambiance, very good and plentiful food, highly recommended. Excellent value for money. We'd love to come back.

The three of us spent a very entertaining evening with delicious, extensive dishes at reasonable prices. The drinks were also reasonably priced. There was also live music, which matched the ambiance and the food. A visit to Wirtshaus Christoffel is a must in Erfurt.

We came for the grilled skewers, waited 15 minutes for the waiter, and at 10:05 PM he finally arrived and said the grill would be closed at 10:00 PM. Very poor service.

I was very, very happy with the food and drinks. Atmosphere priceless. Live music 🎶 was unique. Staff very friendly and helpful despite the hut being full.

The ambiance is absolutely stunning, reminiscent of the Middle Ages. The food was excellent, and the price and portion size were a perfect match. Despite the large number of people they had to serve, the service was really quick and the staff were very friendly. I can absolutely recommend Christoffel.

We were so surprised: the service was incredibly friendly and impeccable, the menu was great, and the prices were very reasonable. The food was plentiful, served quickly, and, above all, very, very tasty. Highly recommended. We'd love to come back.

We recently had dinner here, and it was very, very nice. The menu is very lovingly designed, and the prices are listed in thalers, which I find very amusing (1 thaler = 1 euro). Overall, the restaurant is decorated in a medieval/pirate style, which I also really like. The food was plentiful and very tasty. I'd love to come back.

It was really great, I liked it. Come again again

Amazing place, first time in Erfurt and visiting this restaurant for tastes of some German cuisine. Atmosphere inside absolutely outstanding, great service by lovely and friendly approaching man. Food can't be described enough, you just need to try it. But in general delicious food, ohh and don't forget to try home made beers also something amazing to taste.

The food was very good and plentiful. The ambience was great. As you would imagine in the Middle Ages. The service was great, even when we took a little longer to choose, no one was annoyed, despite the fact that the inn was full.

What? Wow, that was really nice. We spent a lovely evening here and enjoyed a delicious meal. A very pleasant atmosphere, fast service, and delicious, very filling food. We'll definitely keep this in mind for our next visit.

We were in Erfurt last Saturday and explored the city. We had lunch at Christoffel, and we really enjoyed it. Delicious food and a fantastic medieval atmosphere! We'd love to come back! Make sure you make a reservation!

If you want to experience something and don't just want to go out to eat... this is absolutely the right place for you... from henchmen to noblemen

Good food, nice service and nice atmosphere. Gladly again at any time.

A very original restaurant. Hearty cuisine. Good atmosphere, delicious beer. Medieval touch

Medieval flair, friendly and fast service staff, delicious food and large portions. A worthy culinary conclusion to four great days in Erfurt.

An absolute highlight. Great service, very friendly and helpful and quick. Super tasty dishes. More than plenty. Everyone at the table enjoyed it very much. We'll definitely remember that and threaten to come back.

We spontaneously went there for dinner on Sunday on the way back. The staff are very friendly, the food was really tasty and the portions were very good. The atmosphere is medieval and very appealing. The music also underlined this. We can only recommend the restaurant and will definitely come back.

Great atmosphere. The service good. The food is inexpensive and there is a lot of it. The food itself is rustic, it's just an inn with a medieval atmosphere.

I didn't like my chosen dish (suckling pig) at all. The restaurant is very rustically furnished, but for me it was too crowded and far too warm and far too loud. We were there with a larger group and had virtually no space. We had to wait 20 minutes for the reserved table which is quite unpleasant in the cold months. I wouldn't visit this restaurant again.

Super great restaurant, great service and super delicious food

Food was very tasty and plentiful. Waiting times were also very short.

Meat without end.... Geilomat....will definitely come back....

Very rustic restaurant decorated in the Middle Ages, everything is very harmonious. The waitresses were very attentive and the food was also very good. Even the menu has it all.

Great inn in the old town. Everything kept in the medieval style. I really liked it there. I had a great evening on March 6, 2025. There is still a vaulted cellar. You sit at long, rustic wooden benches or tables. The service was quick and attentive. The food is cheap with good portions. Low waiting times. And there was also medieval music. The own beer 🍺 was also very tasty. I had a great evening.

Absolutely recommended, very good and exceptional food at a great price and with very nice staff! Keep it up, we'll be happy to come back!!

Very quaint and cozy. The food tastes excellent, but the sauce for the maiden roll was too thick, too pudding-like.

I was feasting at the Christoffel inn and decided on the “Prince's Supper”. The food is really excellent and even satisfied someone of my stature. Can only recommend it, thank you for the delicious meal.

Medieval tavern with huge portions or larger. AND they have Odin (Metbier) with a choice of light or dark beer.

The inn is highly recommended. Plenty of delicious food at a great price for these portions. I will 100% come back.

Rustic restaurant, delicious food and very decent portions. Great beer and hard-working employees. Anytime again 👌

The food was tasty in and of itself, but some things could be a little better. The rooms were quite crowded and therefore very loud.

If it were possible to give 6 stars for service and ambience, it would be justified here. Food was perfect and the prices were more than okay.

In a chivalrous atmosphere with attentive people delicious food and drink. Just really tired.

We deliberately chose the restaurant and were not disappointed. The food was very plentiful and tasty 😋

Waren zu einer Veranstaltung im Kaisersaal. Haben vorher hier zu Abend gegessen. Die Bedienung war freundlich und das Essen sehr gut und lecker. Werden bestimmt wiederkommen

We stopped in for dinner quite spontaneously. Since we were there shortly after 5 p.m., we were able to get seats. A pre-order would be recommended. The atmosphere is quaint, rustic and without any chicness. You have to like it. The staff is very helpful and friendly. The menu is varied and there is something for every taste. On the one hand, we had the daily special fire meat, which was very tasty and very strongly seasoned, but not so much that it hurt. Half the duck was crispy, yet tender. The red cabbage and the dumpling were also very tasty. I think the prices are cheap. A clear recommendation from me for this very nice restaurant in Erfurt.

Very cool location with good food. Friendly service, even when it's busy it doesn't take too long for the food to arrive. A reservation makes sense for larger groups.

This wonderful restaurant gets a consistently positive rating from me😊. Starting with the uncomplicated table reservation by telephone through to the friendly reception in the inn, through the service and of course the excellent food. The two of us were able to spend a very nice evening at 'Christoffel'. A table was ordered for ✌️ward - we were seated at a long table, next to guests we didn't know. This seemed a little strange at first - but it didn't have any negative impact on our togetherness. Two nicely rolled up menu cards that were meant to be taken away were ready to be rolled out in front of us. A quick look inside, chosen a drink and the service was there to take our order. As quick as our choice is, so quickly are the cups on our table. Taking a second look at the dishes, we decided back and forth and back and forth - the offer was so plentiful and tempting. Until the final menu decision. At this point I would like to compliment the chef again! - it couldn't have been prepared better. And first-class time management, despite the high number of guests - TOP!! On my plate, for 'The eye eats with you', an XXL dumpling / tender suckling pig / red cabbage & sauce. VERY delicious - a sufficient description for this food that says it all. Lavishly prepared, with a filling guarantee! And the slim thaler thanks his wallet for it! You were guided through the evening by melodic, medieval music playing pleasantly in the background - in keeping with the wonderful ambience. I would also like to say a big thank you to our barkeeper - he provided us with food and drink in a discreet, attentive and very friendly manner. We felt very comfortable and would like to thank you for the warm hospitality! A very clear recommendation and definitely worth it 🤚⭐️!!!

Dear readers and noble champions of culinary delights, So let me tell you about a very excellent stop, the Christofel, an inn of great fame and well-received hospitality. Anyone who enters this hospitable house will immediately feel like a noble warrior who has returned home to the fiery crackling table after a long quest. The meal, prepared with skillful hands, can satisfy even the brave knight after a hard tournament. The soups are steaming comfortably, the roasts are dripping with juice and spice that it's a pleasure to eat them. And not to forget: the sweet delicacies that seem to be baked in honor of a fair maiden. But what would a house like this be without its kind cupbearer and brave cellar master? With noble courage and nimble hands they bring the mead, the wine and the delicious brew so that no cup remains empty for long. So let it be known: If you are looking for warm hospitality and fine dining pleasure, you should direct your horse to Christofel. A place well worth the fame and return! Signed, a satisfied guest and loyal servant of good taste

Despite making reservations early for 3 people, we were supposed to sit at a table in the basement. In the middle of larger groups of people who weren't exactly walking quietly. Conversations would not have been possible here. Despite there being free tables, it was said that there was no table available for us. The food has been generally good so far, but unfortunately the service has been decreasing over time. Super annoying because we couldn't eat there - not under the circumstances, unfortunately nobody let anyone talk to them. What a shame!

Very good restaurant, with large portions at good prices.

We have our favorite food, that's why we keep coming back "Ribs"

We really liked the atmosphere of the restaurant – cozy and inviting. The portions were more than generous, so no one goes home hungry. We were particularly impressed by the knuckles, which were so tender that they hardly had to be cut. The robber skewer was also tasty, although you should note that the free-hanging meat cools down quickly. The roulades were also good and the grill plate was huge. A highlight was the beer from the steins, which really impressed us with its taste. The only point of criticism was the grill plate: Unfortunately, the meat was on the grill a little too long, so there was no longer any roasted aroma. In addition, the portion for two people was so large that it would have easily been enough for four - a waste that we no longer find appropriate. Despite this small drawback, we enjoyed the visit overall and would definitely come back.

Great location, very friendly service staff, extremely delicious “pork & poultry dishes” 😉, will be back - Greetings to everyone here in the building, the three ULKers with HELAU!

Welcome to the Middle Ages in a really great and rustic atmosphere with a welcoming ambience, service and food (very generous portions)! Highly recommended and gladly again!👍😉

Absolutely delicious food. Highly recommended

The food was very tasty and the price was okay

Simply unbelievable! We ordered the grill plate for 2 people and it was a huge amount and we only managed a fraction of it! It was delicious and there was live music too! Food, dining and entertainment. Thanks for the great evening!

Highly recommended! Great ambience, delicious draft beer, good food and super fair prices.

Beautiful location with excellent home-style cuisine. Very nice service.

Wonderful historically furnished restaurant, very nice and polite staff, very tasty food. I'll check there often.

Beautiful old trimmed knight restaurant Rustic interior style wooden chairs & benches. Eating beer and schnapps from jugs or clay vessels on the hanging spit. The food is sufficient, unfortunately it was too cold, which affected the taste and appetite. But the service was very, very friendly and was regularly at the table asking if we needed anything else. PS we were there with a group of 20 people, that's why the service came so often 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 But despite the somewhat cold food, the atmosphere and evening were successful. And would visit the same location again.

All you can eat ribs, good beer, look no further!

Funny waiter Jens, delicious food, very good cellar beer... Always a pleasure!!!

a great experience!!! . tip. take a skewer!!! as you see in my photo. Delicious.

Very good food, good price performance, would be happy again

Good service, great ambience and delicious food. There are also vegetarian dishes like this.

We were totally thrilled. A quaint restaurant, everything authentic. I can only recommend it.

The food was delicious and the ambience was simply perfect. And the prices were really cheap considering the portions.

The oldest Witshaus in Erfurt. Food good. Medieval ambience. Recommended.

Top food and always very quick. Very suitable for groups. Also absolutely recommendable in terms of price. I always enjoy being there when I'm in Erfurt. The seating is a bit uncomfortable for long stays and the medieval minstrels that sometimes appear there are quite annoying (and quite loud). But those are the only points of criticism; the positive outweighs the negatives.

Definitely worth it, nice atmosphere

The inn is quaint. Service friendly and attentive. The spare ribs were delicious. The roulade was tough. That shouldn't actually happen there

Nice place, delicious cuisine, good beer, interesting atmosphere. The portion is very large. The price is acceptable. I recommend it for relaxation.

Absolutely recommended, medieval atmosphere and very friendly service. The food was great, definitely recommended

The food was excellent, especially the meat dishes were perfectly prepared, the presentation was very stylish and everything was prepared with a lot of attention, the prices were very reasonable for the quality, the staff was very friendly and the service was quick, everything was to our complete satisfaction and we enjoyed it really enjoyed the visit

The food is super nice, good ambience, wifi, they were very nice and spoke perfect english and recommended what to eat perfectly

A good place to eat in Erfurt. The treatment of the waitresses has been excellent, the atmosphere is very cozy and the food exquisite.

We come from the West and often visit our friends in Erfurt. Our first stop when we arrive in Erfurt is the Wirtshaus Christoffel. The ambience not only invites you to linger, but also invites you to stay there longer. The service is very friendly and attentive and always provided us with good drinks. Even the boss recognized us recently and treated us to a round of schnapps. He's always very happy when we play there. The food there is to die for – spare ribs and half duck are a must when we visit!

Wonderful place with its own medieval atmosphere that I haven't had the opportunity to experience before. Thank you for the courteous nature of the host and staff.

Very good. Great service, personal very nice and cheap. I will come back.

Highly recommended! Good selection of food and drinks. Delicious food, very good P/L.

Great food, very nice service, cozy atmosphere and reasonable prices.

Quaint restaurant, friendly service, delicious beer and rustic seating. The food was very tasty, could have been a little hotter.

Very nice! Great food! Service is good! Recommendation

..simply TOP..special event for us..price/performance for 10 years really TOP

Very nice service and delicious suckling pig.

I've been to many restaurants in Germany, but this is by far the best. It's a good idea to make a reservation in advance. It's a place with a medieval atmosphere, and the food and service are good.

Very good food at really cheap prices. Very nice staff and a fun atmosphere in the style of a knight's castle.

The Christoffelplatte was eaten for two. The portion was huge and would have been enough for four. Unfortunately, it just wasn't good. Preparation probably medieval: oven on full throttle > meat on until it is absolutely dry > oven off. Duck, roast pork and beef were all unfortunately disappointing. The accompaniments were OK, but the sauce was either burnt or flavored with something weird. In the main discipline it was a failure. The beers (Pils and Dunkelbier) were very good! Recommendation! The service at the table was top: everyone was very friendly, always ready and available and really “on their toes”! Nevertheless, there are only three stars for the service: the toilet was empty of soap dispensers, disinfectants and dry towels. If something goes wrong at work, it's understandable. But 3 out of 3 shouldn't be the case. Ambiance: Spectacular! Pure Middle Ages!

Very original and extraordinary

Super tasty, huge portion, simply brilliant, I'd love to try it again

Mostly well attended and for very good reason.

Great food, very nice staff and a great ambience, we would love to come back

It's a nice medieval feeling. Everything is pleasantly narrow and rustic. The babble of voices (don't worry, not too loud) was nice to listen to. Like in the Middle Ages. If you want to take a short break from everyday life, it's a nice atmosphere there
