Unfortunately, it was just an OK dining experience here for me. Nothing really was terribly bad,…read morebut it wasn't that great, either. After hiking around the lake for about one and one half hours in the late morning, I was getting hungry for lunch. When we arrived here it was about lunchtime, and there was no other folks eating here. That may have been a sign that things weren't going to turn out too well. My choice of hamburger had an interesting (in a good way) bun, and meat was well-done and very dry. Potato fries were OK with some seasoning. Fitnesssalat--"Healthy" salad that my wife ordered had some good ingredients and tasted fresh. She wished it had more traditional Bavarian pickled vegetables. Chicken nuggets were OK. There were several traditional Franconian dishes like schäuferle, schweinbraten and schnitzel on the menu boards. Perhaps I should've tried one of them, but they probably weren't that great judging from what I had to eat. Oh well, at least we tried. You never know what you'll encounter unless you try first.

We were visiting from the states and are both of German heritage. We found this restaurant online…read moreand the menu looked amazing. We did not have a reservation but because we were early, they found a place for us before the reservation folks arrived. They even offered us menus in English, and could not have been nicer' Hands down the best German/Swabian food we have ever had....not to mention amazing service. We had the Schätteres Dreierloi with potato salad, the meat plate, and speatzle. Truly amazing...and very affordable. Recommend reservations, and make sure to take Euros or Ecard.

I wanted to write a memorable review for my very momentous 700th review. I think this one would…read morequalify for this very occasion. In Germany, particularly in Bavaria, stricter COVID-19 Prevention Health Measures Ordinance went in effect in early November 2020. The immediate affect was the closing down of all non-essential businesses including restaurants, retail stores, etc. I still remember how disappointed I was by this since it happened just as I arrived in Germany. Today we actually had a sit-down meal for the first time! Yay, things are finally getting closer to the new normal in Bavaria! There were several restaurants and cafés set up with outdoor seating on this visit. It wasn't a particularly warm day, and there was a little breeze to make it feel chilly. We chose Gasthaus zur Sonne because it was a little set back from the busy street. Just as our drink order was served, they turned overhead heaters and made it more comfortable for us. Service was very pleasant...maître de/cashier lady was very cheerful (perhaps almost over the top), and took our food and drink order right away as we were seated. Young female server was somewhat quiet perhaps keeping balance with gregarious older lady, yet very pleasant and courteous. Our food was very good. It wasn't anything fancy...just bratwurst and salads (beneath the pile of lettuce, there were assortment of typical Franconian pickled vegetables which we really like). Sauerkraut was very good, too. It was altogether a very enjoyable meal. They have both German and English menus.

Disclaimer: This review is only for the restaurant - not the guesthouse…read more My family and I dined here the day before the town's fall festival, so it was fairly busy and we were unable to get a seat outside due to the size of our group. The outdoor dining area looked like one of the best in town with great lighting, flowers, and lots of tables - would have been a prime spot for people watching and enjoying the nice weather. The interior was smaller, but seemed to have multiple rooms (we sat in the front one). Our server was extremely friendly and helpful, especially since there seemed to be a small discrepancy between the English and German menus provided. I ordered a seasonal special with chanterelle mushrooms, a cream sauce, and bread dumpling. It was very rich without being overly filling. Portions were fairly large and typical compared to most places in Germany. The rest of my family enjoyed their meals, wine and beer, although I can't recall what anyone else ordered - I was too focused on my own dish! I'd definitely eat here again if I make it back to Dinkelsbühl.

First a disclaimer, I never made it inside the restaurant but stayed out on the patio because the…read moreweather was simply fabulous that night. Looked like everyone had the same idea. The patio overlooks the Tiergaertner Tor Platz and it was crowded like a beehive tonight. The huge plaza tree was lit up and thousands of folks enjoying their night on the patios of the surrounding restaurants, on the plaza benches, or even seated on the ground. Great ambiance all together. The staff was very attentive and we didn't seem to have an assigned server as any of them passing by checked to see if we needed anything. The menu here changes often, but also has a few staples and some innovative takes on our Franconian dishes. So we discovered Pretzel pizza... I was suspicious at first, reading the list of ingredients, but threw caution in the wind and went for the Franconian version (my friend opted for the Vegetarian). It really did sound horrible... laugen dough (which is what pretzels are made of), Schmarrn (related to sourcream, or cream cheese, but not quite the same), local brats, kraut, cheese and tomatoes. I was prepared for a nightmare... but it ended up being delicious. The pizzas were served with a mini salad topping the middle of it. The dough was nice and thin and had that typical nice chewy crust all around. The ingredients worked surprisingly well together, but could have done without the tomatoes. Visually they were a nice pop of colors, but tastewise they had no business on the Franconian Pretzel pizza. I didn't try the vegetarian version, but my friend, who is a tiny person, ate the entire thing, whereas I could only finish half of mine. So I would say she enjoyed it. I had the pana cotta with blueberry compote and was delighted to see the compote made from the small blueberries I grew up with instead of these huge overbred tasteless blueberries so common nowadays. Kudos to this place. Check it out if you are ever in the area.
