Zum Schwarzen Bären in Weimar

Good cuisine with a regional focus... Everything you can expect from Thuringian cuisine.

Cozy inn with a focus on regional cuisine, very tasty. Attentive, friendly service, we would be happy to come back.

The black bear is a good choice! The savoy cabbage soup with lamb balls and the goose aspic on the season menu were excellent. The service was very professional, attentive and friendly.

brilliant evening. great cheese plate. even better white wine.

A real surprise! From the outside it looks good, bourgeois and inside you can expect a modern ambience with a menu that is up to date. There is something for every taste including vegetarian and vegan. The hosts/staff were very accommodating.

👍Excellent restaurant with a historical atmosphere. A great selection of fresh and regional specialties at fair prices. The homemade roulades in particular were delicious. There's a great selection of vegetarian and vegan options and there's also a children's menu. A friendly 😊 and fast service with a well-stocked wine and drinks list make the whole thing complete. In our opinion one of the best addresses in the region and definitely worth a visit😃

We ate an excellent wiener schnitzel with an excellent salad and homemade potatoes (boiled inside and fried on the outside). Surprising goulash with green beans and Hell Weimarer beer on par with those of Munich. TOP service and finally a Weimarer Classic which is a notable bitter of theirs. Prices aligned with quality and Germany.

Abbiamo mangiato un’ottima wiener schnitzel con un’insalata ottima e patate a mestiere (bollite dentro e fritte fuori). Gulasch con i fagiolini sorprendente e birra Hell Weimarer all’altezza di quelle di Monaco. Servizio TOP e per finire un Weimarer Classic che è un loro amaro degno di nota. Prezzi allineati alla qualità e alla Germania.

Very nice atmosphere for Christmas food. Very attentive and nice employees.

Our Christmas in Weimar came to a culinary conclusion in the restaurant “Zum Schwarzen Bären”. From the seat reservation to the dessert, everything was really great. Great service and very good food. We would be happy to come back next time we visit Weimar.

We visited the Christmas market in Weimar and ate here on Saturday evening. I was attracted by the wild boar medallions. I stayed because of the sensational service and the good beer. We were given valuable tips when ordering food, which turned out to be spot on. Very good food, good beer, good service - what more could you want?! For me, as someone from Upper Franconia, prices are a little more expensive than usual, but completely within the range, especially for what was on offer. All in all, definitely recommended.

Delicious food and beer in a rustic atmosphere

Top restaurant with very good food. Always my pleasure

We spontaneously went to eat at the Black Bear. It's a very nice atmosphere, the food was great and above all we really liked the friendly service. It was a great evening at the Black Bear and we would love to come back.

Weimar, Christmas market... it's nice. But eating at the Black Bear added something extra. Super. Drinks arrive at the table very quickly (the order goes to the counter while it's being taken at the table...) and you're not rushed when choosing the dishes. The recommendation was also a good choice. Roast venison with dumplings. See image. Highly recommended. Greetings from Kalle.

The wait was minimal. The food was delicious. I recommend it.

Wir waren gestern Abend im Schwarzen Bären. Wir bestellten einfache Gerichte - -Hausmannskost. Wir fanden die Qualität des Essens ungenügend. Fade, geschmacklos, gummiartig etc. Kaum vorstellbar, dass ein gelernter Koch das zubereitet hat. Günstig ist es ja auch nicht gerade. Fazit: nur ein Ausrutscher? Oder lieber gleich zum Dönermann?

A very nice and authentic restaurant. The food was great and we had a wonderful evening with very nice service. Always my pleasure!

Rustic restaurant with traditional dishes. The dark interior matches the name of the restaurant. The food is plentiful and delicious. The Thuringian bratwurst is recommended.

Hier kann man richtig gemütlich sitzen und gute Hausmannskost genießen.Das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis stimmt auch. Erwähnenswert auch Ilka, die uns bestens bedient und beraten hat und wir daher am darauffolgenden Abend nochmals gekommen sind .

Cozy economy. Rustic atmosphere. Delicious food. Delicious beer. Friendly service. Conclusion: recommended!

Some of the dishes that you could see looked good, mine actually did too, but there was quite a discrepancy from what was announced in the menu. And everything is a price category too high. Unfortunately incredibly loud. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is otherwise nice.

Very nice historical restaurant. Stylishly furnished. Very, very nice service person. Excellent meal. We'll be back!

Super nice service, food very tasty, always...

Very good restaurant in Weimar next to the Elephanten. Friendly staff, very good food.

Very traditional restaurant. Friendly service.

Thuringian specialties for everyone! Vegans and vegetarians will also find a selection here, whether it's a starter, main course or dessert. And the food is excellently prepared and presented. A relaxed place for family celebrations. The service was attentive and cheerful. We'll be back...thank you!!!

Sehr gute regionale und internationale Küche, sehr freundlicher Service, ansprechendes Ambiente. Preis-Leistung stimmt. Wir kommen wieder und empfehlen das Restaurant gerne.

We ate there twice. It was very good quality and served by very friendly staff. Our little son was just as welcome as the older guests. We would be happy to come back at any time. Thanks!

The staff was very friendly, the food was extremely delicious and rich. We ordered different dishes and everyone at the table was more than satisfied. We can highly recommend the restaurant and would be happy to come back.

A historic place, nice service, good food = a good time!

Outstanding authentic service! Super delicious food. The portion was very good and the prices were fair and reasonable.

Were there for dinner today. Very tasty Thuringian bratwurst with cabbage, tasty Ritter beer, simply good. It's comfortable to sit in the restaurant, but it was a bit chilly outside at this late hour. The service was very friendly and attentive. Always happy - thank you very much!

Simply great!!!! Super nice service and delicious food! Simply great - what you would expect from a Thuringian restaurant 😀

We had a great evening. Outstanding authentic service! Super delicious food, even vegan alternatives. The portions are very good and the prices are fair and reasonable. We'll be back. 😊

Nice restaurant. Great service. Delicious fish. The chanterelles were very good!

"Food should first please the eye and then the stomach." Goethe was right - he would have enjoyed the Black Bear. Inn praised by the city guide, which is also often visited by locals. We were there on Saturday evening. Everyone was very attentive and friendly. We asked repeatedly whether everything was okay. Delicious, hearty home cooking to finer soups and vegetarian offerings. We'd love to come back.

Great location, courteous but also humorous service, excellent tomato soup and fresh, delicious dishes. Highly recommended

We ate VERY well here. At our request, the friendly chef came to our table and even gave us some tips for cooking. My husband had char, my daughter had salad and I had soy slices in beer sauce, the best vegetarian dish I have ever eaten. That was a highlight of the gastronomy - GREAT! Thank you!

The food was great. The service is also good. Atmosphere also good. My recommendation are the roulades, simply great. 👍🏼

It was super tasty, we were thrilled. Very wonderful food and nice service. As a vegan and vegetarian you also get your money's worth, really great food and not the standard baked potato with quark. When we asked, the chef also came and talked to us about the food and answered questions about how it was prepared (my mom wanted the recipe). Overall a wonderful experience, we will be back :) By the way, our meat eater at the table was also impressed by the quality of the food.

Traditional house. Nice friendly service. Very good food. Quaint atmosphere. We were 5 adults and 3 children including a baby and a vegetarian. We were all super happy and everyone found something to eat. We will come back.

Sehr gutes Essen, nette Bedienung und schönes Lokal direkt am Marktplatz. Der Wein ist nicht ganz billig aber dafür sehr lecker.

Super great food and Inka ran the place.

Several good vegan options, super nice, great vintage atmosphere.

The food was excellent and the service was also courteous and very friendly. Highly recommended

A beautiful restaurant on the market square, the food is excellent and the service is very friendly and nice

Delicious food, good and fun service.

Beautiful people would love to come back

The black bear which has delicious local beer. Didn’t try the food but it seems authentic. Historic place.

Very tasty food and special requests were also implemented very well

Looking for good gastronomy and something very typical of Weimar, I thought this was the ideal address. Gastronomically, expectations were met. It tasted delicious! Thanks to the kitchen goes out. The service, however, was very below average. The lady with curly blonde hair was more of a type: “what do you want?” “no then not”. When a larger group sat down right next to us and then four more joined us, the waitress just stood there and said that it wouldn't work that way. The guests then replied that they were just having a drink anyway and the waitress was fine with that. Thanks to the blinders, she was unable to comply with my request for an invoice as she watched the group rather questioningly and my requests - I didn't want to have to wave and shout straight away - were not heard. However, she quickly came up to me and said: “They have to change the table” because the group now seems to need mine. The request and manner alone seemed very unprofessional to me. When I repeatedly said that I would like to pay, all I got was a snappy: “Cash or card?” Since I wanted to pay by card, she just raised her eyebrows and said that was only possible inside. Chased away from my seat, I stood in front of the entrance for 3 minutes and finally wanted to pay, but she took care of the group first and took her time. You don't chase guests off the pitch and leave them standing! The crowning finale was her puzzled look when there was no tip as a reward, but even my serious look and shaking of the head didn't make her think. A pity. Very unfortunate. When the food is great and the service ruins it.

Delicious food, great service, very nice and attentive service.

Here you can eat the best beef roulade in the city!!! We are always thrilled, big compliments to the kitchen, but also to the friendly staff. But you should definitely book seats in advance!

Food took a long time and the quality was subpar. Ribs totally dry. Oriental salad consisted more or less only of bulgur. You had to look for vegetables. No sauce is dry.

Was completely satisfied, just great

Very nice location, fast and friendly service and delicious food at fair prices. Anytime again👍

Great food at reasonable prices, good old German cuisine like grandma's. Nice and friendly service👍🏻so I'll be back😋

Perfect ambience at fair prices! Gladly again and highly recommended 👌

Very good German cuisine, can only be recommended.

Nice restaurant in the middle of the market square. Regional cuisine, from beef roulade to schnitzel to lamb goulash. Slightly touristy due to the location. The service is friendly and quick. For me the food was more in the 4 star range. Ok but could be better. The “homemade lemonade” was more like syrup with mineral water and a sprig of mint - yes homemade but different than you think. At the end you can sit nicely in the market square and have a nice meal or beer.

Nicely located at the town hall However, matjes were not declared as “matjes type”. Otherwise ok.

Nice service, delicious food and delicious Weimar beer! We sat outside and the weather was ok. Very comfortable and recommended! 👍🏻

My favorite restaurant - I love sitting on the terrace, especially in summer! What I appreciate about the Black Bear is the changing menu and as a vegetarian, nothing is left to be desired, there is plenty to choose from! The service is always friendly, the food is quick and there is a large selection of drinks - what more could you want? Absolute recommendation from me, I enjoy coming here several times a month. Bon appetit!!

The Lemonade tasted mostly water, the salad that should contain cashews had no cashew whatsoever. The service outrageously rude even thiugh I did not say a word about the waterlemonade or bland salad. The marketplace is pretty though

A nice place in a dignified ambience, after a wait of almost 30 minutes and multiple eye contact with 3 different waitresses, we left because no one was interested in our order requests - it was rather below average and there were still enough seats available. We felt neither welcome nor wanted. We then went to a restaurant around the corner and, after sitting there for a while, placed our lunch order... All in all, an embarrassing advertisement for hospitality in Weimar! A pity !

Very tasty food, very nice atmosphere, very friendly staff

Always looking for vegetarian dishes, I found what I was looking for here. In keeping with the asparagus season, we have asparagus ragout with lentils - original and delicious. Otherwise good traditional dishes. The service was friendly and competent.

Very nice inn with excellent Thuringian cuisine. The portions were large enough for the price, so we were full and satisfied.

Spontaneously decided to have dinner there. We were also shown a table. It wasn't ideal because all the people who wanted to get in or out passed us. Drinks and beer also came quickly after ordering. The food, noodle pan and lumberjack steak, arrived about 40 minutes after ordering. It was okay because it was well attended. The lumberjack steak tasted too much like marjoram and the fried potatoes were also too mushy. The noodle pan was only served lukewarm and not enough noodles. The restaurant could do with a renovation again. Otherwise it was fine again.

Schnitzel and asparagus were fantastic, the staff were very friendly and competent.

What a beautiful experience! Food was superb!

Without the location, no one would go here. It couldn't be worse. 1 star is too much.

The oldest inn in Weimar. Nice location on the market square. The food is excellent (there is also a good vegan selection), our service was super friendly and very charming ❤️ Warmest recommendation.

Good German cuisine in a beautiful location with attentive staff.

It was very crowded, but waiting more than 1.5 hours for your food is no longer a good thing. Insight not available, rather the excuse of occupancy was used. A round on the house might have made the time bearable, but nothing was offered.

We dined there last week and today. Every time we enjoyed it very much. Service friendly.

Das Restaurant hat eine grosse Aussenfläche mit Tischen und man sitzt unter Sonnenschirmen gut geschützt. Mehrheitlich Thüringer Spezialitäten und aktuell auch Spargeln. Service schnell, freundlich und aufmerksam. Gute Qualität der Speisen zu mittleren Preisen.

It's ok but vegetarian food is just not good. The tomato soup just tastes bad. The pasta dishes are bland.

Beautiful old, authentic inn. The roulade with Thuringian dumpling was a hit! Super nice and quick service. We'd love to come back!

We had a wonderful time sitting outside and eating excellent venison and catfish.

Friendly staff and very good food.

5 stars for the new owner and his crew! A little expensive, but very tasty and in a great location

Enjoyed the sun outside while eating. The market place was very pleasant.

Pleasantly rustic. Service is attentive and quick. Food was very tasty. The local beer was also tasty.

Very good regional food, very friendly, fast service.

Nice ambience, sitting directly on the market square with a view of the Neptune Fountain. The beer was good, the Sauvignon Blanc was a poem, the food (turkey roulade with asparagus and goulash from Weidewonne lamb) was really excellent :-) The service staff were extremely attentive and put you in a good mood. You feel comfortable here as a guest. We'd love to come back.

Came, waited, left without paying attention. Unfortunately, the staff completely ignored us, not even a friendly “Hello” was given to us. We therefore cannot rate the food.

Very nice atmosphere and relaxed, friendly waiters.

An excellent restaurant with very tasty food, fair prices for the great quality and an excellent service team! The rooms were just a bit too dark for our taste, but that's why it's very romantic ;) we'd love to come back

In the middle of the market square with a view of the town hall. Attractive menu and the food is okay. Drinks are a real rip-off - Homemade lemonade is just soda water with syrup, a disgrace for over €5!!

Great service and very tasty food... I can only recommend it 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Der Service war zügig. Die Getränke wurden schnell gebracht. Die hausgemachten Limonaden waren sehr lecker. Das Essen wurde von einer anderen Person gebracht. Der gewünschte Austausch der Beilage wurde von dieser mehrfach negativ kommentiert. Geschmäcker sind unterschiedlich und man sollte dieses tolerieren. Die Portionen waren recht überschaubar und geschmacklich war das Essen auch nicht wirklich lecker. Wir kommen trotz des schönen Ambientes nicht nochmal hierher.

Totally recommended, super delicious vegan/vegetarian food, the meat eaters were also very satisfied.

Friendly service. A fine, small card. Too fatty for my taste. The portions are plentiful.

Loved our deer roast and Rinderrouladen 😍 We were able to pay by card💳 (Visa).

Cosy tradition German restaurant, large portions of food which all were excellent. Staff super nice, I particularly loved the lamb.

Delicious. Gladly again. Super cozy.

Wir wurden sehr herzlich begrüßt, pronto bedient und trotzdem nicht in Hetze. Und das Essen war üppig und KÖSTLICH!!!! DANKE :)

Sehr gutes Essen in der eher gehobenen Preiskategorie. Freundlicher Service und ganz klar: "das Auge isst mit!" Ein gutes Restaurant ist das perfekte Zusammenspiel von Küche und Service! Eindeutig gelungen!
