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!

We found a gem of a place in Würzburg for sure, and it's a very unique casserole restaurant! In…read morefact, I have never eaten at a restaurant specializing in casseroles. Of course they offer great casseroles, and they're made fresh per your order. What amazes me is the sheer speed of serving these piping hot dishes. They must have some super duper convection ovens to bake these casseroles from scratch. We didn't try this this time, but they will make casseroles of any combination from the list of ingredients. That's just amazing to me. Not just their food is great, but the service here was wonderful. Our server was a very pleasant and friendly young lady. She explained to us that it's a family-owned restaurant since 1991. So, the food and service are great, but this restaurant also offers a very nice cozy interior with warm atmosphere and chic interior decorations. Overall excellent dining experience in a very unique setting. If you are in Würzburg, you must try this restaurant. For a small portion casseroles, there's 2€ discount for lunch (MON - FRI, 12:00 - 14:00). Students and children receive complimentary small soft drinks--what a deal!!

He was excellent at explaining the menu, offering suggestion and really made our dinner memorable. As far as food goes, everything we had exceeded our expectations. The chef here is notably involved in the slow food movement, so the majority of ingredients are locally sourced and organic. Each table received a variety of different breads with two accompanying spreads, one sweet, one savory. We also had one appetizer that was trout three ways and each was completely different from the next. Additionally, we had game sausage two ways, one was just a simple link, the other prepared in a light broth. My dinner consisted of a whole fish (ordered by the gram), roasted parsley potatoes with garlic butter and a huge side salad. The fish was prepared in the "blue" style which was simply broth and herbs, topped with shredded vegetables and a twist of lemon. It was phenomenally simple and truly showed off the flavor of the fish, which our waiter informed us was locally caught from a small, exclusive pond. For Americans, the idea of organic, locally caught is just catching on, so its refreshing for the chef and waiters to know the suppliers and producers of every ingredient which they present. I also tried the rump stake one of my company ordered and it was cooked perfectly. We even received a free dessert which were chilled pieces of dense chocolate cake served on a stick, lollipop style. Even though this was our most expensive dinner in Germany, the prices were more than reasonable for the quality of ingredients and the exceptional service provided.
