Weißer Hirsch Hotel Restaurant
Hotel & Restaurant „Weißer Hirsch“ (Vis-à-vis)
A historic hotel restaurant across from the Town Hall, serving guests since 1717, known for Harz game and herb-crusted trout.
Located at Marktplatz 5, facing the famous half-timbered Town Hall, and said to be the oldest hotel in Saxony-Anhalt. The Vis-à-vis restaurant seats about 90 and focuses on game and trout from the Harz region, with international and vegetarian menus as well. Signature dishes include Harz herb-crusted trout with pan-fried potatoes, braised venison shank with mushroom cream sauce, and Harz Red Cattle consommé. In summer, the shaded café tables on the square offer a popular cake buffet. It received a “special recommendation” in the state dining ratings and is listed in the Schlemmer Atlas.
