We came to this place only because this place popped up first and happened to be the closest to us…read more I saw they take card and is good for children. Once we walked in the place was decently packed, however it was so quiet in here!! If we happened to fart the whole place would have heard it; it was THAT quiet. Everyone was whispering, and there was only one table left open, so we sat there. We noticed two other children in the place already had the high chairs and thankfully the last table was a booth. The menu has English below each item, so no need to guess or use google translate and the wait staff is also really nice. We both ordered the duck special. Supposed to be crispy duck with a cranberry, red cabbage risotto. Sounds really yummy and different right? Welllll it wasn't crispy, it was overly sweet and the taste didn't match the texture of the risotto. However my daughter loved the "risotto". We both were really excited about CRISPY duck. Well we got soggy duck with a whole lot of fat. I would come back, only to try the other meals. I wouldn't order the same thing again. Every dish that passed by was so colorful, decorative and looked hands down delicious. Also, I know it says kid friendly. But I personally didn't feel like it was kid friendly. It was a lot of older couples and groups in for lunch or drinks and every time my daughter did something everyone looked and rolled their eyes

Traditionelles "Brauhaus" (vor Ort direkt wird nix gebraut) in der Bamberger Altstadt. Die…read moreBierauswahl vom Fass beschränkt sich ausschließlich auf "Fremdbiere", von denen Jever Pils die größte Überraschung ist. Bitteres norddeutsches Pils in Franken? Daneben gibt es Zirndorfer Urhell (okay), Tucher Hefeweizen (okay) und das berüchtigte Schlenkerla Rauchbier, das man ein paar hundert Meter weiter auch in der Brauerei Schlenkerla gekommt. Als Brauhaus ist die Gaststätte somit uninteressant, allerdings gewinnt sie durch den schnellen, freundlichen Service am Tisch - selbst Samstag nachts während der Sandkerwa - und gesellige Atmosphäre. Wer Hausbiere probieren möchte geht besser ins Ambräusianum in der Nähe, oder zu Fässla oder in die Brauerei Klosterbräu. Diese drei bieten eigene - und gute - Biere an. Als Ausflugslokal ist "Hofbräu" aber voll in Ordnung.

Spousal Unit and I joined a boatload of friends (literally!) for a Christmas Market cruise on Gate…read more1. (Review of the cruise to be posted separately - but it will be great!). 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.

We chose to go here after having read the positive Yelp reviews. Unfortunately for me the overall…read moreexperience was slightly short of expectations. The positives here are that its a nice location, nice ambience and the steak was cooked to perfection and of good quality. I would give my steak a 4.5. The side dishes, the vegetarian option and the overall favours were ok but not great. The service was also a bit slow and hence the three stars. The restaurant is cosy inside and looks great. The tables are well set and the service started off real well. The menu is extensive and has a lot of vegetarian options (Italian and Asian). For the meat eater there is steaks and lots of fish options. There is also chicken and so on. Steaks average €20 without sides. The flavors were inconsistent. The bread came with three spreads and the home made butter was divine and I loved it. The wine choice was also good. The steak was great but the sauce lacked flavour and seasoning. The sides were ok and nothing special. The vegetarian stir fry was bland also. I may try this place again if I am in town. Given the choices available it might be a while yet. It's not cheap and for that money I expect more.

Yesterday we choose to have lunch at Hoffmans. We've been there two oder three times before. Due to…read morethe lack of a reservation we "just" got two seats at the Front Cooking Bar. As usual we did not get disappointed. The Carpaccio, the Steak and the dessert where as great as the entertainment at the bar. We'll come back and we can recommend "Hoffmans" to everybody who likes Steak. p.s. And please don't make a fool of yourself by ordering a steak "well done". What a waste of the excellent meat.
