Historical landmark
Old Town Hall in Gorlitz is a historic building located in the lower market area, dating back to the mid-14th century. Visitors can take a tour of the town hall tower, offering superb views of Gorlitz and its surroundings. The clock inside the tower, along with interesting stories shared by the tower watchman, adds to the experience.
We loved our tour to the top of the clock tower! Our guide, Ronny, was excellent & shared interesting details on Gorlitz and the history of the structure. The views from the top are gorgeous. To do the tour, just be at the sign advertising it about 10 minutes before the top of the hour. You can pay the guide in cash (5 euros per person). There was no need to book anything online. Gorlitz is very charming. We are glad we made the trip and can't wait to return.

(Translated by Google) We had a tour of the tower... looked at the clock from the inside, with lions roaring! Our “tower watchman” had many interesting stories. The view was wow. We could see the old town, the Landeskrone, and even the Giant Mountains. (Original) Wir hatten eine Turmführung...sahen uns die Uhr von innen an, mit Löwengebrüll !

Lucie Schulte - The new dining class, is a restaurant that may be slightly expensive but the quality of what you receive makes it worthwhile. The meals are tasty and innovative, and the service is extremely kind and knowledgeable about wine and sherry. Additionally, the charming setting within an old town courtyard adds to the overall cozy ambience. This establishment has been regarded as one of the finest restaurants someone could have the pleasure of visiting. It possesses a modern atmosphere with amiable staff members.
Gourmet restaurant, definetly worth dining here. We had dinner with friends while visiting Gorlitz over the weekend and found this place based on reviews. Had the tasting menu with 3 courses with beef steak for 45 eur. Alll dishes were amazing and tasty and the recommended pairing wine from the menu was perfect. Service was top-notch, gave us a discount for having a takeaway bottle of wine (yes, was that good). Location is old city centre in a nice design venue, good value for money, comparable to a michelin recommended quality.

(Translated by Google) A little hidden but quiet restaurant with a great ambience, wonderful food and exceptionally good service. We were in Görlitz with friends over the weekend and chose the restaurant for Saturday evening. Rarely have we eaten as well as we did that day. Definitely more than worth a visit. The service - like the food - is excellent, unobtrusive, present, very well trained and very knowledgeable about food and drinks. All in all, we enjoyed a very nice evening that we will remember fondly and for a long time. (Original) Etwas versteckt aber daher ruhig gelegenes Restaurant mit tollem Ambiente, wunderbarem Essen und außergewöhnlich gutem Service.

Der Service ist - wie das Essen - hervorragend, unauffällig, präsent, sehr gut ausgebildet und hat sehr gute Kenntnisse über Essen und Getränke. Alles in allem haben wir einen sehr schönen Abend genossen, an den wir uns gerne und lange erinnern werden.

It's a nice place. Inside is cozy and traditional. You can feel the spirit of this place. The food was good, but maybe not in my taste. The waitress was very busy, but she remembered everything and she was very kind. If you want to try something traditional I will recommend this restaurant.

Great and quirky food (almost all based on potatoes, including potato bread and potato beer!) in a friendly, cosy restaurant in the centre of town. Very popular, and you can’t book tables after 19:30, so choose your dining time wisely!

Absolutely one of the most delicious meals we have had on our road trip through Germany. You can smell the food from this charming authentic German restaurant way before you see it, and trust me, it tastes as good as it smells. If your German is rusty or you don’t speak at all, Google Translate will come in handy. The staff is very charming and friendly, and try their best to accommodate you despite no English translation on the menu. Highly recommended to anyone popping in to the charming city of Görlitz.

Amazing food - well, you get there exactly what you'd expect, amazing potatoes in different forms, all well cooked! Dishes are served beautifully, warm and very tasty, there are also vegetarian options. Staff is very friendly and polite, they do an amazing job, welcome you with a smile and are taking a good care of their guests. The restaurant is allowing to change dishes to your taste if you have any restrictions, which is also very nice. The surrounding is nice and cozy, just like you'd come home to eat a heartwarming dinner. They also serve tasty beer from a local Landskron Brewery and have good non-alcoholic beverages. Highly recommending for anyone visiting Görlitz! Loving this place :) + if you need to order a take-away but want to also dine in, they will give it at the end of your meal, so once you finish eating in the restaurant, the food you ordered to take is given after and is still warm when you are going out. Very thoughtful :)

Family restaurant
The Bürgerstübl Görlitz is a remarkable family restaurant with an enchanting beer garden. The amiable and accommodating waitress happily accommodates dietary preferences, while the affable owner adds to the warm atmosphere. The delectable cuisine, such as the flavorsome speck and thyme pasta and outstanding Wiener schnitzel, leaves a lasting impression. This establishment's excellence guarantees a revisit next time in the vicinity.
Went around 8pm and it was fully booked but started to get empty. Evenings and dinners in Görlitz don’t last beyond 9pm. Knowing that we were just in time for the last order and got great local dishes like Kassler and Lausitzer Senfsteak.

Wonderful - beautiful Biergarten out the back. Very friendly and helpful waitress, happy to adjust a dish for a dietary requirement, very friendly owner, food was delicious (speck & thyme pasta was so tasty and the Wiener schnitzel was outstanding). Will definitely return next time we are in the area. It’s a new owner now, so ignor older bad reviews!

Good food, but really bad service. Pretty racist waitress on the road. I hope she will be treated same way while having holidays with her children in Mallorca. We did hear: -"The food will be late"-. Ok, we are fine, not in a hurry. Then- "Who did allow you to sit in the table...?". Well, we did wait. No response. There were three tables free, and we just sat down. It was late and my son and me were tired. If you do mind about that you tell people before they start eating, please wait for a sit. You just have to tell people. Learn how to communicate and be polite, for all with you clients.

What we ordered was at the table without delay. The portions are more than sufficient. The recommendation for dessert (a Böckelbart after the meal) was gladly accepted. Conclusion: it was a nice visit. (Original) Mit Reservierung war es einfach, einen Tisch zu bekommen. Wir haben einen Platz außerhalb der weitläufigen Gaststube erhalten, was nicht weniger gut war.

Die Empfehlung zum Dessert (nach dem Essen einen Böckelbart) wurde gern angenommen. Fazit: es war ein netter Besuch.

Restaurant
The restaurant St. John Patrician House offers a fantastic ambiance and the food is excellent. However, it can be challenging for those who don't enjoy garlic as almost all dishes contain it. The staff is accommodating though, offering grilled meat with boiled potatoes as an alternative. The wine selection is impressive and reasonably priced. This establishment provides a delightful dining experience in Germany with delicious salads accompanied by flavorful sauces. The beer on tap, particularly Landskron, is perfect to complement the meal.
One of the delicious foods I had in Germany. Salad is with sauce and makes it really tasty. Bear is Landskron from tap, again perfect. Portions are quite big, enough for 2 people. Prices would say comparable, not expensive. Service high level. The only thing which I didn't like, you can pay only by EC card or cash …

The place itself is beautiful and charming but the food is unspectacular and there was a black worm in my salad. If it was my restaurant, I wouldn’t have charged for it or would have offered a treat to make up for such unpleasant oversight, but they haven’t even apologized - instead they’ve offered a new salad (no, thanks).

Great atmosphere no doubt about this. The food is great... but very difficult to have food without garlic. All dishes have some. So if you don't eat garlic like me, you are in a pickle. That said, the daff was nice and offered an alternative: grilled meat with boiled potatoes. Simple, very tasty. I loved it. But took bad that don't have standard dishes without garlic. The wine was very good. Price perfectly OK. We had a fantastic evening.
