It all was good and worth the visit to sample local made food and local made beer. The church still makes the beer and brings it fresh into the restaurant in barrels to serve up. The beer was very cheap at around 2,10-3,50 Euro for 1/2 liter; so fill up. The food ranged from 3,10-5,50 Euro, with most being 4,50-5,00 Euro average
Favorite Dish: The wurst were good and came with kraut, and the Gottinger was excellent. They serve it hot and it comes right out of the kitchen next to seating area.

Crepes made from scratch at a booth are always a treat. The price of these ranged from 3-4,50 Euro, depending on how much extra you want on the crepe.
Favorite Dish: Since crepes are the specialty, I would choose them I had a vanilla flavored one, and Micky had a double chocolate and it was loaded with filling.

The food was mediocre and not that good overall. It is a tourist trap to draw to the rear of the monastery, since only two restaurants are located on the hill, and most people have taken a long walk to get here. Prices were on the high side, with a lunch averaging around 7-10 Euro, or more for a full plate, and beer 5,50 Euro
Favorite Dish: The bean soup was fairly tasty, but cold; like it sat a long time before we got it served to the table. The same was for the sausage & kraut.

Probably the most famous of the breweries in Bamberg. Producers of Rauchbier or smoke beer. Someone said it tastes like Bavarian smoked cheese, and they are not far fom the truth. As ever I develpoed a liking for it and managed to spend the evening there but Mrs Bonio was not so keen, other non - smoky drinks are available. Tasty food on offer too. This one is very busy, try to pick a good time to visit.

In the suburb Wunderburg, about ten minutes walk along the canal bank, or bus #5 I think. Another very traditional yet very friendly place. Food excellent as is the beer, Mrs Bonio's favourite in town!

This brewery, around since 1649, has an old, cosy atmosphere with lots of wood. I only had a cup of tea here, but was brought here by a local who intimated that it was a pretty establishment locality. Therefore, I recommend it for a taste of a traditional Bamberg experience.

This beer garden is perched on a hill above Bamberg and has a great view of the town. Though I didn't try the food, the beer was good. Since I was brought here by locals, I suspect that the food must be good as well though.

The Keller Bier is one of the best beers in the world and you can only get it in this area of Germany. Ang the food at their brewery is also spectacular.
Favorite Dish: The best saurbraten I have ever had. And get the Keller Bier! Awarded the Gold medal 1995 World Championship Beer.

The cafe is divided into two sections. On one side there is the most wonderful display of cakes, I have seenin a long time and which can be bought to take away. On the other side is an extremely elegant dining area, complete with friendly and smiling waitstaff. There are also tables on the sidewalk if you like.
Favorite Dish: I was so boggled by the array of cakes that I wouldn't even try to recommend what was best. All I know is that the one I chose (a creamy, custard type of creation) was fabulous. Add a very nice coffee for a total bill of 4.30 euro and I was over the moon.

It was pure chance that I came across this little brewery............I was on my way back to the railway station by a rather circuitous route, and was desperate for a dirnk and something to eat.
It brews its own beer, of course....including Rauchbier (a smoke flavour, which I thought was lovely)........provides good local food at reasonable prices and has a few rooms to let (a good pat to stay, I suspect, especially for beer-lovers!).
It's been brewing for more than 450 years, apparently, and certainly knows how to create a very smooth drink.
There's a pleasant courtyard, with some areas covered/shaded from the weather and it seemed to be popular with locals (always a good sign). Service was courteous and pleasant.
I had Limburger cheese with 'Musik' and local bread. It was really excellent......but the 'Musik' did not work for me at all. :-))
A good, inexpensive place for a break.
