Wirtshaus & Hotel Zur Alten Brauerei Zapf

In April 2024, Konstantin Kuntzsch – formerly of the restaurant Speiseberg in Halle an der Saale – opened his own place here near the Main River and the old town. His business partner and co-founder Florian Mack is your sommelier and host, heading up the friendly front-of-house team. Ambitious chef Konstantin Kuntzsch conjures up a creative seasonal seven-course set menu. The perfectly pink roasted saddle of Bavarian fawn with a mild hazelnut crust, for example, makes an impression in terms of both technique and flavour. The meat pairs beautifully with the celery and apple flavours and the sil

This really lovely restaurant in the centre of the Baroque city has a long tradition dating back to 1408. Kuno von Rebstock is said to have been one of the first owners of the Zum Rebstock estate at that time – hence the name. Today, diners can look forward to the ingredient-led cuisine of chef duo Robin Hofmann and Patrick Grieshaber. Creative modern dishes such as "pike-perch, tomato, spinach, black pearl caviar" or "carrot, cauliflower, ponzu, lion's mane mushroom" are served as part of a four- to six-course set menu by a professional yet friendly and relaxed front-of-house team, who give e

Previously chef at Kuno 1408 in Würzburg, Daniel Schröder is already a familiar name in the region, and he is now at the helm of the small-format fine dining restaurant at this charming hotel. In the kitchen, the chef-owner draws inspiration from French cuisine and uses top-notch ingredients to craft dishes that emanate finesse. His "kohlrabi, pear, pecan", for example, proves to be a particularly successful combination of textures and flavours. The five- or six-course set menu is based on the seasons and complemented by a well-curated wine list dominated by regional labels. The tastefully mod

Having already proven his talent at Kuno 1408 in Würzburg, Daniel Schröder has now struck out alone here with a dual concept: In addition to fine dining at La Boucherie, you can look forward to delicious seasonal cuisine in this lovely alternative. The menu is pared down to a limited number of dishes that focus on the essentials, leaving nothing to chance in terms of expression and flavour. In summer, the terrace in the courtyard is a pleasant place to sit. The hotel also has spruce, modern guestrooms.

Run with great dedication, this restaurant is steeped in tradition. The original charm of the building has been beautifully retained in the dining spaces – eg the Alte Stube with its wood panelling and ceiling paintings, and Im Fachwerk with its combination of rustic old beams and modern design features. The cuisine is predominantly regional, but the menu also includes French-influenced dishes. Friendly service. Tip: The Holzfasskeller, a 400-year-old wine cellar, can be booked for events. Well-appointed guestrooms.

On the site of the city's erstwhile covered market, Bernhard Reiser – inspired by that previous vocation – has brought to life a friendly, casual, seasonal restaurant concept. At lunchtime, a concise, reasonably priced menu including an enticing three-course set menu is served; in the evening, the cuisine is more ambitious and comes in à la carte or surprise menu form. Tables are laid out on the ground floor and in the gallery. From some seats you have a direct view of the action in the open kitchen on the lower level. In summer, head for the terrace overlooking the market square.
