......and serving local food at sound prices.

Lots of locals were eating there every time I passed, so it's clearly a good place to go. It's been there since 1594, so obviously knows how to please its customers!

There are tables outside under leafy trees (especially nice on a hot night) in the small Marienplatz, just off the main Marktplatz.

Good beer, wine etc, a menu with lots of choice and daily specials at really good prices. I a rather good 'hamburger' with fried egg, onion gravy and fried potatoes (can't remember the German name) for just over 7 euros. Although it sounds an odd combination, it really worked well and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Service was efficient, friendly and coped with my appalling German very well!

......and a very pleasant place to stop, for a drink or a bite to eat.

Their bruschetta was very tasty, and very reasonably-priced. and the beer (I had Echter weissbier) was good too. And the coffe.

They do a wide range of teas, coffees, ice-creams and snacks and serve breakfast (various types) until 4pm.

Service courteous, efficient and with good English (although I did try to speak German, honest!)

Gianni, who's from northern Italy, makes excellent Italian food to your liking. The menu is in German since most of the customers are locals, but he'd translate them and even cooks dishes based on what you'd like to eat that day. Dinner meals come with equally excellent salad.

The outdoor seats get filled quickly in summer, but there are plenty of seats inside the restaurant.

Favorite Dish: Any of the menu of the day, or seafood with pasta.

Wurzburg is famous for its wines. When you arrive here by car the first thing that you can notice are the vineyards on the hills. This region has got many wine cellars where you can stop to taste it.

Burggaststätte is a great,traditional restaurant in the central innercourt of Marienberg castle, opposite of the Brunnenhaus and Marienkirche.It is nice to sit outside on the terrace but maybe even better to sit inside and enjoy the special atmosphere of the old halls with arches and vaults.

Favorite Dish: I just had a glass of local wine : Frankenwein is world-famous and a must when in Wuerzburg. Mostly it is served in a "Bocksbeutel" a special kind of bottle, that you will find only in Franken !

Whenever you are in a german or austrian town with a big townhall, take a look for the restaurant there, because 98% of all townhalls have their own restaurant, called "Ratskeller". In most cases the food is excellent ( the "government" of the town always knows what is best for them) and also the interior is very special, neo-gothic or Jugendstil etc.
I was lucky to be able to take a look into some of the various side-rooms with great and interesting interior, see also my other pics !

First of all this great restaurant is next to the old bridge over the river Main and it has terraces facing the river (see my main pic!). From these terraces you will see the castle Marienberg like in pic. #4.
I did not eat inside their restaurant, but simply ordered some of their sausages to take away, conveniently "packed" in a crispy roll, see my 2nd picture.
On my 3rd picture you can see the counter, where to order these sausages, they come freshly roasted from the charcoal-grill and will help you to be strong enough to climb up the steps to Marienberg ! ;-)
Click on their web-page and you will hear the sound of the river Main !

Favorite Dish: Mühlenbratwürste vom Holzkohlengrill
(3 Stück im Weck)
zum Mitnehmen am Tresen 2,- Euro

to take away

I found this restaurant by chance the evening I arrived in Wurzburg. The restaurant of the Post Hotel was close so I went there. In this restaurant you can breath a family atmosphere and the cook is very friendly. There you can taste good Italian dishes.
