Zum Goldenen Schwan in Erfurt

A great restaurant with a stylish ambience and good German cuisine. The home-brewed beer is highly recommended. Service was also very attentive and friendly & overall you feel very welcome. Depending on the day of the week and time, reservation makes sense.

Clocky restaurant with good food and friendly service. The only thing that is a bit unpleasant is the volume throughout the Hsus. Nevertheless, unreserved recommendation!

Everything OK. Very good and tasty food. Service was very polite. The atmosphere is also very inviting for a delicious lunch or dinner.

Very good cuisine, great beer, friendly service.

We were lucky and a table just became available. Very busy, have house beers and very good food

Really great, delicious food (roulade with dumplings) and great service. Very happy again.

Zum Goldenen Schwan is a great spot, especially if you're a fan of house-brewed beer. Their Pils was delicious - crisp and refreshing! A nice touch is that you can even take their beer home in 1-liter bottles. We stopped by for lunch and tried their seasonal pumpkin menu. The pumpkin soup, spiced with orange and ginger, was comforting and perfect for a cool day. The pumpkin tart with green beans was tasty, but the pastry was unfortunately soggy, and the sweet berry sauce drizzled on top seemed out of place and didn’t quite fit the dish. The service was efficient and polite, and the prices are fair. Overall, a pleasant experience, especially if you're after great beer!

We were absolutely satisfied. Point.

Unfortunately, the food (bratwurst with sauerkraut and fried potatoes) was very average and not very seasoned. Actually a dish that does not require any extraordinary culinary skills. Service very attentive and quick.

Nothing special unfortunately… very little on the plate. Bland seasoning, dumplings far too soft and sticky... definitely won't be coming back.

Very nice and very full traditional restaurant, almost too full for me. Nevertheless, we were served quickly and friendly (we had ordered the food in advance!). Not exactly cheap. Many stairs in the house, entrance and toilets are definitely not suitable for wheelchair users or people with walking difficulties. The portions were normal, I filled up well with my salad with chicken breast.

Very good food except for the Thuringian dumplings on the menu. But the food was still very tasty and highly recommended. It was also the only restaurant where we got a table after a very short wait. Thank you

One of the few remaining locations with Thuringian cuisine and in an atmosphere that we can only recommend. The service is also very polite, patient and if you have any questions you will be given the best advice! The quality of the food and drinks is fantastic! Paul Bocuse would be thrilled. 5 stars are deserved! Keep it up! You have our RECOMMENDATION. Thanks for the great hospitality!

Beautiful restaurant, great atmosphere, perfect service and friendliness

Rustic traditional restaurant with a great ambience, lovely service and really good and tasty food. We had the Pottsuse several times as a starter and the duck and beef roulade with Thuringian dumplings as our main course. Fantastically tasty and full of sauce. We'll be back, that's for sure. Thank you very much for the great evening.

We only drank our own beer here, but the food that was served at the neighboring tables looked very tasty!

Cozy, German cuisine, nice staff, central

Super friendly staff. Food extremely good. Large, cozy beer garden in the middle of Erfurt.

Nice location, good food, pleasant atmosphere, good beer

Nice atmosphere, nice service, very lively and also great food at reasonable prices. Highly recommended!!

Delicious home-brewed beer with food that is at least equally delicious. Despite the full restaurant, nice and relaxed service is worth high praise. Large selection on the menu, there is something for everyone here. And for those who are not quite adults yet, there is an offer tailored to the target group. Super!

I was excited about a Thuringian meal but this was not good. Brown meat, brown sauce, red cabbage with after-taste, and the ubiquitous mashed potato balls. The beer was good, though. Service was okay. The outdoor tables/chairs were comfortable.

Very nice atmosphere in the beer garden. Fast service and good Thuringian cuisine, what more could you want!

Thuringian specialties in the beer garden. Very good and very nice seated.

Centrally yet quietly located restaurant, you can also find space here with a group. The staff is friendly and you are served quickly. The portions are more than sufficient and the food is delicious.

Very friendly service and good food

Very tasty regional dishes and various beers from the home brewery. We were very excited.

Were nice in the beer garden. The summer beer was especially great. Food was okay too.

Very nice service, beer garden where your own beer is served, small menu but very tasty. Be sure to reserve for larger groups. We'll be back.

Great traditional restaurant. Honest cuisine and home-brewed beer. Not a big selection of food, but you don't need it. If you're after Thuringian regional food, you'll find it here.

Quick, friendly staff... very tasty food at reasonable prices. Interesting, tasty beers.

Very nice staff, nice beer garden, very tasty food and home-brewed beer. During our vacation in the beautiful city of Erfurt, we visited the restaurant on two evenings and we really enjoyed it each time. Thank you.

Very tasty food and friendly service! We really liked it here!

Classic German eatery with a relaxed atmosphere and pleasant cuisine. Nice terrace at the back.

You come here and feel at home. Food is top. German cuisine. Home-brewed beer is the crowning glory with the mega-class service.

Duck tough, tasteless, cooked to death and unseasoned drowned in an indefinable sauce with Thuringian dumplings and red cabbage Mushroom dish with totally overcooked noodles. Sauce without taste and mush. The meat should be chicken breast medallions. A thin piece of turkey schnitzel was delivered... The above-mentioned dishes cost 23.50 euros each. The service shrugged off the complaints as the dishes went back to essential sharing. If tourists tolerate that, we can continue like this... A pity.... The place used to be better.

A well-located restaurant with a nice, quiet beer garden. I took a short break here during my city tour and tried the delicious beer. The service was absolutely attentive and friendly! A visit that left nothing to be desired - except the desire to try the food on my next visit. 😊

Absolutely amazing restaurant in the heart of the old town. The food was excellent and the service exceptional. The price-performance ratio is right here. The selection of beers was also very tasty.

Very nice restaurant if you fancy German cuisine. 🤭

Very nice beer garden in the inner courtyard. Open-air cinema is right next door. Our highlight were the sidelings, which are grown in Weimar. Otherwise, the food is solid and based on good recipes. But there is room for improvement when it comes to freshness and finesse.

Wir waren mit 8 Personen hier und hatten kurzfristig reserviert. Als wir eintrafen war der Tisch im Biergarten für uns vorbereitet und die Getränkebestellung wurde zügig umgesetzt. Die Essensbestellung ebenfalls, Sonderwünsche wurden berücksichtigt. Insgesamt waren wir alle sehr zufrieden, die Rindsrouladen butterzart, Knödel mit Pilzen sehr gut abgeschmeckt das Brätl sehr schmackhaft. Lediglich das Schnitzel Wiener Art war totgebraten und daher trocken.

Really rustic and cozy beer garden in the inner courtyard! Food was really tasty and the beer was fresh from the tap! Highly recommended

Food average. Service good. Ambience very nice.

The giant bratwurst has a slightly different consistency when kept warm. Beer ok

A very nice meal! With good beer and people!

Good cuisine, attentive staff, nice beer garden.

Delicious food and friendly service even got a seat on Saturday without a reservation, price wise too 👌

Service could be better, food portions very small, Thuringian dumplings are not original, simple dumpling dough, could be better.

Thanks a lot to the Chef who fulfilled my wish to have a dish that’s not on the menu ( Giant Grilled Sausage with French Fries and Salad). That was very tasty and extremely generous portion of salad! The service was good, quick and efficient and the homemade beer was also very tasty! The price was good, too! Definitely a must visit restaurant in Erfurt!

Went to this restaurant yesterday for the public viewing. We had a really good spot outside in the beer garden with a direct view of the TV about 6 meters away. My friend ordered a beer for me. A beer please for the young man here, he said to the waitress, she replied, I don't see any young men here, which we didn't like. Then another waitress kept blocking the view of the television as she served people. Exactly in the exciting moments at the game yesterday. I asked her very politely if she would be so kind as to step out of the picture so that everyone could see, because that's why we were there. The answer was completely beneath all dignity. She could have easily served the guests from the other side. No, she says, I'll stay here now, I have to do my work, I can turn off the TV if I don't like it and she said all this repeatedly several times. Then she goes one better and takes the same thing off again 5 minutes later. Same table, she stood in the middle of the picture again and said again and again, I'll stop here now, I have to do my work, in a really provocative way. Kind regards to the operator of the Goldener Schwan restaurant, you should especially give these employees instructions on how to treat paying customers or how to talk to them. That doesn't work at all. I always thought that the customer was king, but in this restaurant the two waitresses certainly didn't understand it. The stairs in the courtyard represent a high risk of accidents for me, which a woman had to experience painfully when she hit her face bloody when she fell on the stairs. Well, whatever, the evening wasn't as nice as expected, especially in the Goldener Schwan restaurant. Our team won and is through. I also had negative experiences and have moved on; it was definitely the last visit for me to this restaurant. Sorry

Typical Thuringian food, but of very good quality.

Service was very friendly. You can sit comfortably inside and outside. Food was very good and didn't take long. We really liked it and can recommend it.

nice atmosphere, nice staff, clear recommendation

Food was ok, service totally overwhelmed, inattentive and unfriendly, even choleric

Delicious food, very nice beer garden and very good home-brewed beer

Old inn with wonderfully preserved woodwork. The cuisine is good, home-style and recommended. In summer there is a large but very cozy beer garden in the courtyard, in the middle of the city but still quiet. You can also visit a small museum. Everything was very lovingly preserved. The service left nothing to be desired was quick and very attentive and friendly.

Good home cooking at reasonable prices. Thanks.

We stopped by the Golden Swan at short notice. Just for a little drink. But fast friendly staff, we sat well. Is still recommended.

Amazing food, nice place, and 5-star service.

Food was good but not memorable.

Wir waren zum Abendessen mit einer großen Gruppe (ca. 20 Personen) im Goldenen Schwan. Die Tischreservierung hat auch kurzfristig einen Tag zuvor unkompliziert geklappt. Service war freundlich und aufmerksam. Sehr leckeres Essen. Angenehme Atmosphäre. Ich komme gerne wieder hier her, wenn ich wieder einmal in Erfurt bin.

We had dinner at the Goldener Schwan with a large group (approx. 20 people). The table reservation was easy, even at short notice the day before. Service was friendly and attentive. Very tasty food. Pleasant atmosphere. I'd love to come back here when I'm in Erfurt again.

TOP LOCATION .. we would love to come back ..

Nice old place. Food was delicious. Price-performance was good. Very friendly and helpful service.

Ate a very tasty Thuringian with sauerkraut. 👍Nice service and summer beer to go. It is worth it ..

Gladly again when the opportunity arises, although many inns tempt!

Very good Thuringian cuisine. Great beer from our own brewery. Extremely friendly service.

Cozy atmosphere, good inexpensive cuisine, friendly service.

For me, Erfurt is one of the most beautiful cities. It is an absolute feel-good city! A great and beautiful shop is lined up one after the other. Everyone will find something for themselves. Restaurants and cafés beautify the face of this beautiful city center! You have to visit the cathedral and the Severikirche! An absolute highlight of this city is the park zoo! Flower arrangements and occasional benches invite you to linger and watch the animals. You will have a very nice day at the zoo! Food and drink are also provided! A large playground provides variety for the children. Erfurt is definitely worth a trip!

Nice restaurant with its own house beer and seasonal beers, very tasty, the service is friendly and the restaurant is comparatively inexpensive. If I'm in Erfurt again, I'll be happy to come back

We sat comfortably in the garden under a friendly summer roof. Service is quick and friendly, food is tasty.

Service highly praised. Great, friendly service. Prices ok. Food good and fresh. Little choice of vegetarian options. You have to wait. Atmosphere ok if the weather is right.

Nice restaurant in the heart of Erfurt. Friendly staff and a good selection. Unfortunately, the portions are very small for the expensive price. We were there with 15 people and more than 10 were still hungry after the main course.

Nice restaurant with nice service.

Very good restaurant. Food and service, top

Centrally in the old town. Very nice and courteous staff. Food is good, middle-class. Price / offer: Very good. We were there with 18 people. Everything went perfectly. Gladly again.

Essen war gut, aber nicht überragend. Verstehe nicht warum man einen Beilagensalat auf dem Hauptgerichtteller mit serviert. Hausbiere waren in Ordnung, aber alles sehr durchschnittlich. Kann man machen, muss man aber nicht.

Thuringian cuisine to enjoy, I love your dumplings, super nice service, price-performance ratio is perfect

Staff came across as slightly overwhelmed..... otherwise everything was top notch

Quaint restaurant with excellent service and good home cooking

Great food, excellent Pilsner and super nice waitress.

Just great. Very nice atmosphere. Very good home-brewed beer. Very good food and great service.

Home-style food, friendly service and a rustic, quaint restaurant

Great food, great service, super cozy atmosphere.

Super tasty home-brewed beer and the waitress was very friendly.

Rustic Erfurt restaurant with delicious beer and good food.

Good traditional Thuringian cuisine! Service excellent! Children are also treated nicely!

Quaint inn, a strenuous service program for the number of guests on several levels, but still a smile for every guest request, wonderful. The food was rich, quick and tasty. Not a Michelin-starred kitchen, but it's a pub that gives special attention to spiced meat. 🖖🏼🤓

The pike perch was super tasty, the combination with barley risotto was something different. The staff quick and friendly. As a Franconian you like to dine out.

Very good and tasteful food. The selection of food is good, of type Thuringian cuisine - various vegetarian and vegan dishes, completely sufficient. Even more unusual combinations like cuscus with crinberies & rocket, very tasty😋 & recommended. Price/performance ratio top👍🏽. The service was very good, quick, personable and friendly. Despite the well-filled restaurants. Gladly again!

Good home-style Thuringian food. Delicious. We'd love to come back.

Ich wurde von einem Freund anläßlich seines 85. Geburtstages spontan zum Mittag eingeladen. Rinderbäckcken, Wirsing und Kroketten wählten wir. Die Rinderbäckchen waren fest, zäh, überbraten! Der Wirsing durchgekocht und aufgewärmt. Die Kroketten - 5 kleine Stück - aus der Tüte. Das Ganze für über € 20,00. Mein Bekannter hat das Fleisch ( drei kleine, schmale Stückchen) nicht essen können. D.h. für etwas Wirsing und 5 Kroketten € 20,00 - das ist schon sportlich! Nie wieder!

We were there this afternoon and everything was great and we would recommend it at any time

Quite excellent! The service was brisk and attentive, the food was delicious and the place was extremely cozy. Clear recommendation!

Very tasty traditional food with very friendly and attentive service.

The food was super tasty and the service was super quick. We spent a few really nice hours here.

Das Reservierungsprozedere verlief online problemlos. Wir hatten sehr gute Plätze im gemütlichen Wintergarten, schönes Ambiente. Die Bedienung war schnell, nett und zuvorkommend. Leider hat die Küche stark nachgelassen, das Angebot auf der Karte klingt noch so wie vor ein paar Jahren, aber selbst gekocht ist anders, "apetito" lässt grüßen. Schade, vielleicht besinnt man sich mal wieder auf seine Wurzeln.

Yesterday I had dinner at Schwan with my wife. We were very pleasantly surprised. Unfortunately we didn't have a reservation, but the super friendly waitress still found a table for us. The service was very quick and even though the restaurant was full, the waitress always had a smile. We can only recommend the food! Very good, freshly prepared home cooking. We had a very pleasant stay and would love to come back! Thank you!

My chicken breast was good, but unfortunately the pasta side dish wasn't, the pasta was cold My son-in-law had a Cordonbleu that was 99% industrial in origin

Attractive location and good traditional cuisine We held a family celebration there in the fireplace room. We were extremely satisfied with everything. The service with Annett and her colleagues was great. Such attentiveness coupled with calm and professionalism despite all the hustle and bustle. Just high praise. We would like to drive another 150 km for the next celebration there.
