Zum Platzhirsch in Bremen

Simply great, it tastes good, it looks delicious and the price is proportionate

My two brothers and I often go to Platzhirsch, about once a month. Last week we had the following experience: We had a reservation, three people, at 5:00 PM, and we arrived on time. Friendly service. The beer was poured below the standard amount, and we noticed it after the foam had subsided. The food: I had Leberkäse (meatloaf) with fried eggs. The portion was okay, but only lukewarm, the eggs weren't turned over, and they were half-raw. The bombshell came at about 7:15 PM. We wanted to order drinks. The waitress tried to explain to us that the table was reserved and we wouldn't get anything else. Then the manager (I suspect) came and tried to explain to us that the reservation was only for two hours! But this wasn't mentioned when we made the reservation. We left disappointed and won't be back.

The Platzhirsch is and remains a good place to go, and the mini golf course is also a great place to play when the weather is nice. However, it must be said quite clearly that the prices have gone up considerably here, as it seems everywhere else. As long as the portions don't get more expensive and smaller like at others, I'm still willing to pay the money to eat out. I don't know if the chef was having a bad day or if he's been replaced, but the last time I visited, my meat and that of my friends was completely dry, felt like it had been killed in the pan, and when it came to the schnitzel, my mum practically had to hunt for the meat, alongside all the excess mushrooms. Yes, meat, and it seems like everything else, has become expensive, but the "mass" that ends up on the table in the pot should be balanced, otherwise it was actually pretty good as always.

We were loyal customers at this restaurant for many years, but our last visit was extremely disappointing. Unfortunately, a lot has changed with the new owners. Despite having made a reservation, we were thrown out after three hours, presumably on the manager's orders, because there were apparently problems with our reservation. It was a very unpleasant situation for the three of us brothers, who had been looking forward to a pleasant evening. I felt sorry for the waitress because she couldn't do anything about the unfortunate situation and was friendly and helpful despite everything. It's unfortunate that management isn't better at dealing with such problems. After so many years as customers, we can unfortunately no longer recommend this restaurant. I hope management works on improvements so that future customers have a better experience.

A good restaurant for an ordinary evening. Very cozy ambiance with seasonal, opulent, yet harmonious decor. Service varies somewhat; generally friendly, approachable, and with pleasant/witty communication (which is why we love it), with a few rare, less-sensitive exceptions. The food is good—a good German/traditional/Bavarian selection. For my taste, it could be improved; I find some dishes at other restaurants with similar menus are a bit stronger. (But just recently, I had steak strips here, and they were extremely delicious!). The small ice cream served with your hot drink is unique and particularly charming.

During a 3-week seminar, we always spent our lunch break in the restaurant “Zum Platzhirschen” in Bremen. There was a list of pre-selected dishes for our group of about 20 people and the food was always served quickly. So far everything is good. Unfortunately, the quality of the food was sometimes poor over the 3 weeks. Ready-made sauces were often used and defrosted food was served. In addition, we have rarely received such poor and unfriendly service as we did here. What's surprising is that we had different staff over the 3 weeks, but across the board no one was friendly to us for even a day. Unfortunately, this experience had a negative impact on our breaks and we would have wished for a lot more friendliness and better quality. Never again!

We were very excited. Super friendly employee. Food tasted excellent. We'll be back.

New review - very satisfied this time I am referring to my negative review from three weeks ago. The owner called me the very next day. We had a very nice phone conversation. He apologized for the inconvenience and invited us to try again. Yesterday the day had come. We wanted to try eating kale again. This time it was a big difference from the previous visit. We came to a well-heated restaurant, the food was served hot, as you would expect, and... we all liked it much better. I don't want to embellish the whole thing, we even got a second helping. The bottom line is that we were all very satisfied this time. The boss himself came by, asked us if everything was okay and invited us for a few nightcaps. This type of reparation cannot be taken for granted. We would like to say thank you again and would be happy to come back. Best regards, A.u.K. Bockelmann with friends

This place is definitely recommended!

Hearty food in a suitable atmosphere. Friendly and courteous service staff. We're always happy to come back!

Cabbage tour in the top dog. Great location where you can feel comfortable. The food was very tasty, also for vegetarians and vegans. The service was very good, always attentive and very friendly.

The Platzhirsch has become my favorite restaurant and the food is great. Together with the very good service, a real tip here in Bremen. Keep it up...

Unfortunately, since the change of ownership it is no longer what it used to be. Ordered a table that we didn't even get, would never have happened before! The great energy that the store once had thanks to the boys and the whole atmosphere is no longer there. Somehow it was a unit, now it's just a restaurant. Food is good, okay, but even there the prices have now gone way up. We're not going there anymore, but we wish the new owners all the best!

Delicious food, nice ambience. We like being here

Delicious food. Super friendly service.

Good German cuisine in a cozy atmosphere. You can also eat good game dishes here.

Best restaurant in a long time! Great furnishings, nice rustic. Good German cuisine and nice staff. All in all a successful evening.

TK food and an unfriendly waitress, we were surprised by the other reviews here :D

Nice staff, cozy atmosphere and delicious food

Delicious. Lunch dishes are cheaper. Nice rustic fitting ambience. Nice service. There are inexpensive children's meals. The children receive pens and a coloring mat with puzzles and coloring pictures. In summer you can sit outside in the beer garden. There is also a mini golf course there. There is enough parking space on site. There are regular events such as the cabbage party, asparagus party, and hut fun.

Was very unusual and I was surprised at the ambience. The kitchen matches the name and the service is first class. As they say today, new modern was simply mega

Very nice atmosphere and friendly service

There are always regional and seasonal offerings on the menu. I've been there several times in groups of 4 to 10 people. We ate, among other things, Asparagus, kale, game, fish. The food is always good and plentiful. The ambience is rustic, the service attentive. I like coming back here every time.

Food was very good. Traditional cuisine. Sometimes very loud because many large groups come for cabbage drives etc. But we sat comfortably in the heated outdoor area. Service was top.

We were there in a group to eat kale. The terrace area was set for us, there was a fire at every table, and as soon as it was turned off the temperature went down. Everything else, food, service and ambience were very good, can be recommended

New: February 11, 2025 After we had such a bad experience with the old owner, I spoke to the new boss on the phone and she sounded quite upset. We decided to organize our cabbage tour with her again. When we arrived we were assigned seats in the cold winter garden. Blankets and fireplaces were prepared, but they were not enough to warm the foil construction. Even the service staff confirmed: “It’s really cold outside.” That's why some of our women (we had included a drinks flat rate in the offer) asked for hot tea. However, the tea cost money because it was not included. After some complaints it was at least free, but not because of the goodness of the operator, but because of several complaints and intervention by the DJ. When we asked for fresh glasses later in the evening, the answer was "They each received a glass, why another one" (äääähh: hygiene would only be one reason?) By the way, the vegetarian meal was a cheaply slapped together potato gratin with very little inside, in a very small portion. Upon request, the guest was given a soup, but not on the operator's own initiative... Even under the new ownership, it looks to me as if they want to squeeze as much money out of the guests as possible for as little service as necessary. More guests than possible are squeezed into the rooms and health or feasibility (apparently there weren't even enough glasses for that many guests) doesn't seem to matter at all. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - old Previous owner: Absolute chaos at the “Asparagus Tour” event. We paid 80 (!) euros per person for an asparagus tour event. What was offered as "full of asparagus" was a joke: First came the potatoes - but only the potatoes... When they slowly got cold, we ate them separately. 15 minutes later 12 asparagus arrived for our table of 8 people. Another 15 minutes later the schnitzels arrived. Another 30 minutes later another 12 asparagus arrived. What a joke! And everyone was in a bad mood: the service was cursing at the kitchen, the kitchen at the boss - pure chaos, followed by a fight instigated by a friend of the boss. Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Never again!

Cabbage trip. We were accommodated in the cold plastic winter garden on hard bistro chairs in sub-zero temperatures, which was not properly closed. Thin blankets and a radiant heater were of no use. The alternative vegetarian meal consisted of a small soup and a potato gratin...sold as a full-bodied casserole. We had to pay for a warming tea. And the subsequent complaint was responded to in a condescending manner. Thanks, luckily there are plenty of alternatives. This is how you lose long-standing guests

Sehr nette Bedienung und sehr leckeres Essen. Das Ambiente passt auch sehr gut zum Motto. Alles in allem wirklich gut.

Not healthy and clean so avoid going there. Police has to go and inspect everything thanks

We went to the Zum Platzhirsch restaurant for the first time for our annual Christmas dinner. We were all thrilled. Great food and drinks and nice, quick service. We had a wonderful evening and are definitely continuing to explore the menu. A quaint Bavarian-inspired restaurant. The prices and performance are okay.

Wonderfully festively decorated this time of year. Premises are beautiful and rustic. Food looks good and tastes good too 😀

Christmas dinner at “zum Platzhirsch” in a beautiful atmosphere and friendly staff who made this holiday possible for us and even forgo it. Thanks! Five different menus were offered, including starters and desserts. I had the medallions with wild mushrooms and potato gratin... very tender, very tasty. My accompaniment was the deer goulash, with red cabbage and a potato dumpling. Unfortunately the goulash didn't taste as expected, but rather indescribable, but not good.:(

We were here for the company Christmas party. The ambience is very nice. At Christmas time it was very cozy outside with lights. The staff left. One person was forgotten when the starter was served. When clearing away, a guest was "pushed" aside by the staff in order to clear the dishes on the opposite side. Professionalism looks different to me. Very rude. The main course was a good portion size. The pork tenderloin was tender but not seasoned well. The gnocchi were small potato dumplings, just as wobbly and mushy. Disappointing. The dessert was in a good portion and had a pleasant taste. The times between each course were good, not too short but not too long either. The toilets were clean, but due to the "wear and tear" a renovation in the near future wouldn't hurt.

Solid ambience with a great interior. Fantastic food at fair prices. Here, great attention is also paid to the presentation of food and drinks, which is not a given everywhere. Very friendly, attentive and unobtrusive staff. A great location in Bremen. Unconditionally recommended!! Would have liked to give more stars. 12/26/2024 Update! Went again today for Christmas dinner with the whole family. Enjoyed very tasty food and very attentive great service. Everyone was really excited. Keep it up 😊👍👍👍

Everything was very friendly and tasty

Very nice Christmas atmosphere. Delicious food and super friendly service. Only later it got a bit cold, despite the heater. But: we were satisfied

It was our twins' birthday. We went to the mini golf course first and then wanted to eat there. But we were completely forgotten after ordering. This could only happen because the store was packed. But the behavior of the staff and management was really not good. We were put off several times: “Everything is going well.” After an hour, it dawned on the employees... After they asked in secret what we had ordered, I said that we no longer wanted the food if it had been forgotten. But the (apparent) leader said: “Let's go straight away.” That took almost half an hour and the only reason we didn't go was because it was the children's birthday. There was no concrete apology and no price concession. Only coffee was offered, which is probably not for children. Forgetfulness can happen, but it should be dealt with sensibly and openly.

Very good food, nice service, maybe a little noisy. Prices are a bit higher (for this type of home cooking), but appropriate for the quality.

Fast good service....with good food....

Very tasty and nice service. The visit was worth it.

Service was very friendly, food was well prepared and served very stylishly. However, you should always reserve in advance to make sure you get a spot, especially in summer time. Accordingly, the parking situation is relatively limited depending on the time of day

Good food and very nice service. Super.

The food was once again very good (roast wild boar). Service very good. Dessert Apelstrudel with ice cream and cream was the crowning conclusion to a very good meal. The only negative thing was that the space was a bit quick and close to the outdoor area.

We went to the Christmas party with my husband's company today. Very cozy atmosphere. The service was very on point. The food was also extremely good, apart from a small deduction.

We ate there on November 22nd, 24 with about 10 people. The atmosphere is very nice and the service is super friendly. The food was very tasty. 4 people had the Platzhirsch pan, which was also very tasty, but unfortunately the portions weren't too big. There probably isn't that much space in the Platzhirsch pan. The price is, well. 1 star less because the portion was too small and the price.

If we lived in Bremen, we would come more often! Quaint Bavarian restaurant with delicious dishes and funny, great staff! Thank you for the lovely evening. We had the wild boar roast which was so tender the meat fell apart. The Viennese schnitzel, of course made from veal, also tasted very good and everyone else was also very enthusiastic about the knuckle with sauerkraut!

Tested the winter magic, very nice atmosphere

A great alternative to the Paulaner 👍

We spent a very nice evening with girls. The food was very tasty, the service staff were very nice and the mulled wine stands outside were beautifully decorated and looked great. We sat inside, relatively in the middle, which wasn't ideal, but it was also very busy (1 star deducted because of the seating). Otherwise, it was great, is highly recommended and we'll always come back!

We went there to eat kale. Unfortunately we were disappointed. The price-performance ratio doesn't fit. Too bad

Good home cooking with changing lunches and seasonal dishes. Portions are completely sufficient and the dishes taste good. The waitresses are friendly.

Very nice atmosphere, delicious food, especially the Platzhirschpfanne!! The service was quick and pleasantly relaxed. Be sure to try the Kaiserschmarrn. We would go there again at any time.

Excellent food, attentive service, very nice atmosphere

We ate here again during our Bremen vacation. This time too we were there spontaneously and got two more places. As usual, the food was delicious and the service was super friendly. We would be happy to come back.

A nice restaurant with a very cozy atmosphere. The employees are always friendly. There is a large selection of food and drinks to suit every taste. I will definitely recommend this restaurant.

Nice and fast service, the food was better here!!

Everything was delicious, not overpriced. We will come again.😊

A great restaurant and an interesting menu

Good food at a reasonable price. Service is good, but sometimes seems a bit rushed. Rather rustic atmosphere. Lots of space to sit outside in summer.

The food and the ambience are very good.👍The service leaves a lot to be desired. When asked about a half portion or a pensioner's plate, this was immediately answered in the negative. This was only possible after asking several times. However, with the comment "this is a one-time exception, just so you know that before". We've never heard anything like that from a service person. 👎

We've been going to this great restaurant for about 15 years now, unfortunately there was a change on June 1st, 2024 and all the great staff are gone. Instead, there was a very unfriendly waitress with long black hair who answered my question whether I could also get a plate of reindeer very snippily, no, that's not available here. Last but not least, she went into the kitchen and asked! Then came back with the answer, okay, so we'll do it, but only today! THAT YOU KNOW RIGHT AWAY!!!!! It's a shame about the beautiful restaurant, such unfriendly staff!!!! That was the last time for us today.

Bad food, sometimes bad service, I haven't had such a bad meal in a long time.

There were two of us this evening. There was duck with red cabbage and dumplings, followed by apple strudel with ice cream and cream. 1. Red cabbage smelled burnt when served and tasted very smoky. If you couldn't eat, you told the waiter that something had gone wrong in the kitchen with the red cabbage. However, there was no further reaction. 2. Wrong sauce for duck, When I then said that the sauce wasn't the one that went with the dish, he wanted to check it too, but there was no further feedback. 3. Apple strudel was served, but the dough was still partially raw and tough like chewing gum, I assume it was thawed in the microwave and not baked. Didn't eat the dessert. They offered to give me a new dessert, but since several things had already gone wrong that evening, I lost my appetite. When the bill came, we were charged the full price despite the errors in the main course. Because of the botched dessert, we were given a schnapps. We were looking for a regular restaurant, but under these circumstances, the top dog is unfortunately not recommended. Maybe we were just unlucky, I hope that guests won't be treated like that in the future. You go out to eat and are happy to pay a euro or two more, but it should also be edible. A little training would do the service staff some good. A nice young, blonde lady behaved in an exemplary manner, polite and helpful, the waiter that evening could happily follow suit.

A beer outside after work. Unfortunately no more service. But it was still nice. 😊

I always enjoy going here. The Bavarian menu, together with the fantastic cuisine and the generous portions, are really great. Special requests, such as changing supplements, are happy to be fulfilled. The staff is attentive and very friendly. The atmosphere is rustic and cozy. In summer you can sit outside and play a game of mini golf. I like to go there again and again.

The food and service match the nice atmosphere. The prices are not exactly cheap for the quality offered, but they are still reasonable!

The furnishings are not to my taste, therefore only 3 stars, stop off on a bike tour, good location, good value for money.

Food cold, portions too small for the money. Taste quite good, but when it's cold, the taste doesn't help either. And there wasn't that much going on.

Difficult number. First of all: The woman from the service was great (very attentive and quick, gave a small ice cream especially for the child, very nice!), the atmosphere is nice. Unfortunately, the kitchen can't get the horsepower up to speed: - The food came after 10 minutes, how is it supposed to be "freshly" prepared? It's okay to wait for your food, I don't want to be home after 15 minutes. - Knuckle pan: Meat was lukewarm, partly cold. The fried potatoes were not fresh, clearly pre-fried and therefore not crispy. Sure, the meat is prepared, no problem, but it should be heated and the fried potatoes should be freshly fried. The food was then warmed up again and an apology was made. - Fries for children should be made with little salt. The fries were so salty that they were almost inedible, even for adults. Yes, you can let it go back, but we refrained from doing so so that the child doesn't scream at the store. - Schnitzel was okay, but who came up with the idea of ​​making the mushroom sauce with cinnamon? Even at Christmas it's quite adventurous. Sorry to the lady from the service for the meager tip, we rated the food more.

Great location. Good service. The portions were all a bit too small for the price.

Thank you, we were satisfied guests

Went there spontaneously after the marathon and got a table. The food was very tasty and the service was very friendly. When we are back in Bremen we will come by again.

The food was very tasty. I had the steak pan. The steak was perfectly cooked and tender. The price-performance ratio is in the appropriate range.

Nice, chic restaurant, food very tasty. Now not the highest category but good and you'll get full. It's nice to sit outside but it's also neat inside. We were here again. The food was good as always, Corona outside, you don't pay much attention to the distance, but it's ok. Otherwise nice shop. October 2024 we sat outside behind a plastic wall that seals very well. There were beautiful fires outside so there was a gas fireplace atmosphere. Very nice volume. A little louder, but it was also full of food. It was good, the fries were a little dry. Fries not 100% cordon bleu. Was very tasty. Friend had a lye citizen, looked very good too. Gladly again.

Good Bavarian food. Nice atmosphere. Recommended.

Super great location and very tasty food, high quality therefore 5 stars!

Very tasty food and a very nice and attentive service staff. We didn't like the furniture so much, the seating was quite cramped

We like to eat here, it's always nice to get together with the family here. The food has actually improved significantly for some time now, although it was already great before👍🏽

Super nice service and the food was simply amazing. We'll definitely be back

Very tasty food, great service. We would be happy to come back to you at any time.

Very tasty food Friendly service You can also play mini golf Great atmosphere

Dirty cutlery, very poor price-performance ratio, small portions and the food doesn't match the price Don't come back

We've been here several times. Very tasty and great atmosphere. Everyone was very nice, the food was very tasty if you like southern German cuisine.

Unfortunately the place has gone down a lot lately. We always liked being there though This year it is significantly worse: wrong food, food not complete, drinks missing. It's a shame ☹️

If you love Bavarian food and want a nice quiet atmosphere, you've come to the right place. You just have to bring the time. Waiting for a cappuccino for about 20 minutes. The food will be brought to the table after 60 minutes. Completely unstructured and overloaded.

Had a company outing. Was very nice. Gladly again

I ordered veal schnitzel very disappointing

Delicious food at an acceptable price, served quickly and friendly. What more could you want? Sat on the terrace in the nicest weather, an overall positive experience. Right next to it you can burn off a few calories with a game of mini golf.

... always good! Nice people and good food…

Nice restaurant, well-kept environment would be happy again

Quaint atmosphere, good Location. Unfortunately our food was lukewarm, and when we asked about it there was no response, which was "I'll probably have to complain to the kitchen about that".

Service great! Food simple but good

A great restaurant with fine food. The only minor point was that we had to order dessert straight after the meal and then not all of the desserts were made for us. But the ambience and price performance are ok 👌 The Zürcherschnitzel was very tasty simply with spaetzle instead of rösti. Robber Hotzeplotz a great idea

Good restaurant with southern German and Austrian food. Perfect for tasting (Original Wiener Schnitzel from veal, Vienna Style from porc). Fair prices.

I had written a really, really good review before the change of operator but...yesterday we were there again after a while - the menu was drastically shortened and the prices were significantly increased (pork schnitzel with fried potatoes and peas in canteen quality 28, - Euro!) but there is nothing in return. Delicious salads and dishes are no longer offered and what is offered is nowhere near the same quality as before. The employees have been replaced but they are not professional service staff and do not know their own products and dishes! Unfortunately, after the change of operator, the formerly great restaurant with very good quality food and staff is only nice in terms of ambience but no longer offers quality - a very, very shame!

Food good, service a bit inattentive, atmosphere in the large hall very loud

I've been going to this restaurant for years now and have been more or less satisfied with the quality of the food. With the new owner, new technology has also arrived, which is actually not a bad thing, but the fact that psychological pressure is now being put on card payers by specifying how many percent they want to tip is a new bad habit, which is probably driving many people to do so not to tip. This should be abolished very quickly.

Unfortunately the food, cheese pudding, schnitzel with champions and fish plate, was not good and cold. The spaetzle looked like rice pudding and was far away from what is meant by it. A pity

Stopped in there after a bike ride. Quenched the thirst, made the stomach instead. Nicely spread out and end the day there. All in all it was very pleasant there. Price and performance was good and you will definitely come back there

Food was good. Menu changes over time, so be prepared.
