When we arrived in the afternoon, the place was already buzzing. My friend knew one of the managers, we said hello, grabbed beers, and sat at a table overlooking the city of Bamberg. Spectacular! We looked over the menu and we both chose the same thing- Schweinekrustenbraten- Pork Shoulder- a local delicacy. We drank our beers and caught up with each other, enjoying the views and the people having a good time. Our food arrived after a bit of a wait, but I was not surprised given how busy they were. Our server set our plates in front of us and we ordered more beers. My pork was perfect- crispy skin and moist and tender meat underneath. It came with a side of "Wirsing," which is Savoy Cabbage, and it was delicious! After eating, we ordered another beer and shared Apfelkrapfen, sort of an apple fritter- scrumptious! We enjoyed our beer and watched the sunset before heading back down the hill. This place is a must-visit if you are in Bamberg...

They had some vegan options, so I got a chili sin carne here (€13.40), which was very well-made --made with lentils, unusually. Service is a bit slow to take your order but once that's done, the beer and food come out quickly. Worth a stop for the food, view, and beers.

While wandering the old town and it's very nice market (and enjoying abundent gluewhein mit flaming rum) we settled down for a nice lunch at Schlenkerla. Great choice! First, the smoked beer. Not my favorite, but hey, when in Bamberg ya gotta try it. The menu was not extensive but that's not a negative. I think too many restaurants offer too many choices with too little quality. Not a problem here. My friends ordered gulasche soup; a baked potato with salad combination plate (with two "small" baked potatoes drenched with what appeared to be fifteen pounds of butter); very tasty sausage with very, very tasty sauerkraut; and what I ordered: Bamberg style stuffed onion with mashed potatoes. I thought I was being virtuous. I must rethink my definition. The two very large onions were stuffed with a pork/bacon/bread/herb mix then roasted. Delicate taste that paired beautifully with mashed potatoes and smoked beer/beef stock sauce. Wunderbar! Look, I'm not a fan of tourist traps. Schlenkerla is certainly well-promoted to all of the tour operators, but most of the diners were obviously local. The menu was the same for all, as was the service. Excellent choice, and highly recommended.
