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.

Quick Yelp search after arriving to Bamberg in a famished state led us to this establishment. It is…read morepretty close to the Altstadt so this spot is perfect if you're looking to go somewhere in the area. It seems that during the winter there is no outdoor seating (you can still access the outdoor patio though), and indoor seating is pretty tight. Nonetheless, it creates these cozy nooks for a genuine 1300s throwback Gasthaus ambiance. The waitress was helpful and quick. From the many choices of beer, we chose the Schenkerla smoke beer. With that we ordered the roasted pork shoulder and schnitzel. The meals were superb. We havent had any German/Bayerisch cuisine in a while, and the food were the perfect comeback dishes. Meats were super tender and not too oily. The kartolfelsalat and knodel garnishments were great and not too starchy. Awesome spot, and would venture to say that it beats Tucherhaus and Hofbrauhaus. Would definitely dine here again.

Here, you'll find students congregating (remember this is a college town) in time off, or working diligently as they sip a fresh cuppa.

They had some great selections and were willing to work with me to figure out some additions that would be great to have. The gluten-free kaiserschmarrn did not disappoint -- if you're unfamiliar with kaiserschmarrn, think scrambled pancakes with extra eggy goodness, a southern delicacy in these parts and not often served for breakfast, but more as an afternoon snack or as dessert. Over-all, a simple menu but a very nice respite from the hustle of downtown.
