Restaurant 1835 Im Hotel Altora

A five minute walk from the Harz Steam Train station and you can sit on the veranda and watch the steam trains moving around, arriving and departing. If you sit in side you will be delighted with the service if you enjoy trains and you can sit in the warm watching the trains. The wine was good value and the food was well presented and a good size portion.

Good food, puffing locomotives visible from the dining room, not to mention the beverage delivery system where the drinks are brought by (LGB) train. Food is great however the vegetarian items are not to be confused with cardiac-friendly. Great for kids.

Good service great food, always hot and tasty. A good vegetarian selection too. A great little model train brings the drinks to your table. Good cocktails

We arrived at Hotel Altora around 5PM and asked what hours the restaurant was open. We were told that we could not eat at the restaurant because we did not have a reservation. We asked when we could get a reservation and were told, Not until tomorrow . So we made a reservation for the following day at 6PM. The following morning on the steam train to Brocken, we talked to a West German businessman that spoke fluent English. He said that he and his daughter had walked into the restaurant the previous night without a reservation and had a nice meal. He thought maybe the reservation was for a table by the windows because that is where the small train runs that delivers beverages. So we had high hopes for that evening. We arrived at the restaurant and said we had a reservation and they found our name on a list and ushered us to a table, but they would not seat us at a table by the window, even though there was an empty one available! Shortly thereafter, a German-speaking couple came in and were seated at a table by the window. The restaurant was filled with German-speaking people all seated by the window and us, English-speakers not seated by the window. Only those seated by the window are served by the little beverage train. By this time we were rather disgusted and decided to order only beverages and dessert since we had a late lunch anyway. The waitress was not happy about our order, but the desserts were very good and we enjoyed them very much. The bill came to 17 Euros, so it wasn 't like they didn 't make any money off of us. I am not in tune with German culture, so maybe this is a cultural thing that Germans are offended if you don 't order a full meal. So even though the desserts were good, I rated the restaurant as poor because of the reservation-only misinformation and the seating-by-the-window disappointment and the server 's attitude about our dessert-only order.
