Die Butterhanne
A historic tavern and café beside the market square, serving everything from breakfast to Harz game and house-made cakes all day.
A historic tavern right beside the Marktkirche in the Old Town center, with about 200 indoor seats and 100 outdoor seats. It is one of the most common stops for visitors after walking the Marktplatz and the Kaiserpfalz (Imperial Palace). Breakfast, coffee, and house-made cakes are served during the day, while main meals focus on German and Harz regional cooking. The menu includes Harz game, fried pork schnitzel, and steak, and local Gose is available. Reviewers praise the atmosphere and location, but note that food and service can be uneven in peak season.
