Restaurant in Görlitz, Germany
Michelin-recognised regional cooking at mid-range prices.
Schneider Stube holds back-to-back Michelin Plates (2024 and 2025) for regional cuisine in Görlitz, making it the most credentialled dining option in the city at the €€ price point. It suits a celebration dinner or date night where you want recognised kitchen quality without the cost or formality of a starred room. Booking is easy, and the regional focus gives the meal a coherence specific to this corner of eastern Germany.
If you are looking for regional German cooking in Görlitz with a Michelin Plate to its name, Schneider Stube at Peterstraße 8 is the most credentialled option in the city at the €€ price point. Two consecutive Michelin Plates (2024 and 2025) confirm consistent kitchen standards without the three-figure price tags attached to Germany's starred dining rooms. For a special occasion where you want quality signalled by a recognised body but do not want to spend €€€€, this is a sound booking.
Most visitors to Görlitz default to the obvious tourist-facing options around the Altstadt. Schneider Stube does something different: it commits to regional cuisine with enough seriousness to earn back-to-back Michelin recognition. That is a meaningful distinction in a city that does not have a deep bench of fine-dining options. If your benchmark is a destination restaurant like Aqua in Wolfsburg or Schwarzwaldstube in Baiersbronn, Schneider Stube is operating at a lower tier of ambition and price. But measured against what Görlitz actually offers, it occupies a clear leading position. See our full Görlitz restaurants guide for the broader picture.
The address on Peterstraße places Schneider Stube within Görlitz's historic core, a street of well-preserved Gründerzeit architecture that sets an immediate tone of substance over spectacle. Regional German Stuben dining rooms tend toward the compact and intimate: dark wood, close-set tables, a layout that favours conversation over theatre. That spatial character suits the occasion-meal diner well. If you are booking for a celebratory dinner or a business meal where atmosphere matters, the setting does the work without requiring explanation. It is not a design-forward room in the way that CODA Dessert Dining in Berlin is, but that is not the point here. The intimacy is the product.
Schneider Stube's focus is regional cuisine, which in the Upper Lusatia context means dishes rooted in the cooking traditions of eastern Saxony and the broader German-Polish borderlands. Regional cuisine at Michelin Plate level typically means well-sourced, technically competent cooking that respects local produce without straining for international fusion. That is a strength when it works and a limitation if you arrive expecting creative tasting-menu territory.
On the wine side, a regional German kitchen at the €€ tier in this part of the country is most credibly paired with wines from Saxony's wine region, one of Germany's smallest and northernmost. Müller-Thurgau, Grauburgunder, and Riesling from the Elbe valley are the natural companions to this style of cooking. If the list leans into that regional logic, it is a genuine asset: Saxon wine is genuinely hard to find outside the region and gives the meal a coherence you will not get at a generic German brasserie. A regionally anchored wine program of this kind turns an ordinary dinner into something that makes specific sense in Görlitz and nowhere else. For those who want to explore the broader drinks scene in the city, our Görlitz bars guide and our Görlitz wineries guide are worth consulting before or after your visit.
At €€ pricing, Schneider Stube sits well below the cost threshold of Germany's starred dining rooms. A meal here is unlikely to strain a celebration budget in the way that dinner at Vendôme in Bergisch Gladbach or Victor's Fine Dining in Perl would. That price-to-recognition ratio is one of the clearest arguments for booking here rather than travelling to a larger German city for a comparable Michelin Plate experience.
Booking difficulty is rated Easy, which means you are unlikely to need to plan weeks in advance the way you would for a starred room. That said, Michelin recognition does draw visitors, and Görlitz itself attracts a steady stream of travellers crossing from the Polish side of the Neisse. Booking at least a few days ahead for weekend dinners is sensible, particularly if you have a specific date for a celebration. Phone and website details are not confirmed in our current data, so the safest approach is to contact the venue directly at Peterstraße 8 or enquire through your hotel's concierge if you are staying locally. Check our Görlitz hotels guide for accommodation options close to the restaurant.
Hours are not confirmed in our current data. Verify directly before travelling, especially if you are arriving on an unusual day or during public holidays in Saxony. For context on what else to do around your visit, our Görlitz experiences guide covers the city's main draws.
Schneider Stube suits the diner who wants Michelin-recognised regional cooking without the formality or cost of a starred room. It is a practical choice for a date night or celebration dinner in Görlitz, particularly if you value local produce and regional wine depth over creative tasting menus. If you are comparing it against travelling to Schanz in Piesport or Restaurant Haerlin in Hamburg, those are different propositions at different price points. Within Görlitz, this is where you book when you want a meal that takes the food seriously. For regional cuisine benchmarks elsewhere in Germany and the DACH region, Fahr in Künten-Sulz and Gannerhof in Innervillgraten offer useful comparisons in the same genre.
At €€, yes. Two consecutive Michelin Plates (2024, 2025) confirm the kitchen meets a recognised standard, and the price sits well below what you would pay for a starred meal elsewhere in Germany. For Görlitz, the value proposition is strong.
It is a reasonable choice for a celebration dinner in Görlitz. The Michelin recognition and regional focus give the meal a sense of occasion, and the intimate Stube setting suits a date or small group better than a loud brasserie would. Manage expectations relative to a starred room: this is polished regional cooking, not a theatrical tasting-menu experience.
Booking difficulty is rated Easy, so last-minute is often possible. For weekend dinners or specific celebration dates, a few days' notice is sensible. Görlitz draws cross-border visitors from Poland and Germany's regional tourism circuit, so Friday and Saturday evenings can fill faster than you might expect for a city this size.
Specific menu details are not confirmed in our current data. The kitchen's focus is regional cuisine rooted in eastern Saxony and Upper Lusatia. Dishes using local produce and regional preparations are the logical order of play. Ask the team what is seasonal when you arrive.
Tasting menu availability is not confirmed in our current data. At the €€ price point, if a tasting menu is offered, it is likely to represent good value by German standards. Confirm directly when booking.
Specific dietary accommodation policies are not confirmed in our data. Contact the venue directly before booking if you have specific requirements. Regional German kitchens at this level typically have less flexibility than creative or international-format restaurants.
Görlitz does not have a deep fine-dining scene. Schneider Stube is the most credentialled option in the city at the €€ tier. If you are open to travelling, ES:SENZ in Grassau and JAN in Munich represent the next level up in the German regional fine-dining category.

Schneider Stube is the only Michelin-recognised restaurant documented in Görlitz, which narrows the like-for-like alternatives locally. For higher-stakes regional German cooking with full Michelin stars, Schwarzwaldstube or Tantris are in a different tier and different city.
