We were in Würzberg on a cruise stop on German Unification Day. Our guide recommended this place as…read morea nice out of the way spot (the bridge was soooo crowded). We went in and we did not have reservations, but they sat us in the bar area (at a table that regulars usually use). The food was delightful (schnitzel, pork shoulder, and wurst). The beer was very good. The service and ambiance were great. So glad we found this treasure.

Food, customer service, ambiance was unblemished!…read more Drove here from Frankfurt airport with my mom on our first night in Würzburg, I made reservations a week before for 5:30, they open at 5:00, we happened to arrive a little on the early side, however, they were able to seat us around 5:10. I came across this hidden gem through reddit. This restaurant is nestled up on one of the side streets more in an alleyway. I ordered an aperol spritz as well as a full order of the Braised onion soup which had franconia onion sauce and delicious homemade potato balls *chefs kiss* my mother had the same but half the portion including the wine soup which she loved! Definitely wish I could've ordered more off the menu! The portions are very generous, loved the cozy ambiance and the unique charm this place had! As I walked out, I seen nothing but cheerful people in groups with friends/family eating and drinking, it definitely felt like more of a home Backöfele is a MUST when in Würzburg, remember to make reservations, this place fills up on the quickness and I could see why!

This was a wise decision, although I did not see them turn anyone away. There were several large groups seated around us. My husband, my son and his girlfriend who are both studying in Würzburg had never been to this part of the river. It overlooks the water and has the famous large baroque, blue crane--hence the title, old crane--in the center of its outdoor table section with views of the Main River. This area was once a shipping harbor where goods such as grain were mostly unloaded until the mid-19th century. Today, it's brimming with great local beer and wines (we could see the vineyards from our outdoor table) and food! It was white asparagus season when we were there, which I can never resist. It was delicious, but I was happy to be given a bite as well of the schnitzel and fries--a regional favorite in general. Everything we had was great. Next time we will have to leave room for dessert--the Kaiserschmarrn the table next to us ordered looked amazing!

This place was one of only a couple of restaurants around and after hearing good things, we were keen to check it out! What can I say about this place?! Everything was spot on, from decor to food to drinks to the staff. 5 star worthy and definitely somewhere if you are nearby, you must visit for food. The menu was in German, so my friend and I, neither of us spending the lingo, were clueless as to what to order. Thank god for the staff, speaking English and spending a while explaining the menu. I really appreciated them taking the time and after the meal, they even helped us to work out how to get back from Wurzeburg at night and recommended a cocktail bar. Service you don't get very often! I went for a local river fish - zanderfillet - wth creamy lentils and a pumpkin and potato ragout and a glass of white wine. Both of which were recommended by the server and were simply divine. The fish was cooked to perfection and the sides really complemented it. It was so good, I never wanted to finish it. The wine was crisp and very pleasant to drink. My friend got the pork schnitzel with fries and really enjoyed it. She got the Coke and we both left feeling very full and were keen to go back, but sadly we ran out of time on the trip. It came to around 20 euros each, which for the quality was a steal!!

Both times the ambience has been lovely and the staff has been very kind and helpful despite the restaurant being very busy each time. The food was always very pleasant, with nice German classics always plated beautifully and full of flavor. But the wine list here is very, very good! The staff is so knowledgeable that they can guide you through the list with great care and detail. By the end of your evening you will know much more about German and Franconia wines than when you first walked in. Amazing experiences both times, and I look forward to returning!
