5 Best Restaurants in Franconia and the German Danube, Germany

Brauhaus Stadl

$$

Reopened in 2017 and brewing traditional Veste beer, this small brewery, which is part of the Brauhaus Coburg, is just the place for massive portions of roasted meat and other Franconian specialties

Gasthof Weisses Lamm

$$
A foodie's take on traditional Bavarian fare, the focus here is on homemade, regional, and seasonal. Delicacies like suckling pig, veal tenderloin, and lamb sausage—a house specialty—are all locally sourced, and the venison and rabbit are culled from the local forests. The two handsome dining rooms and outdoor terrace, with a charming beer garden, are popular dining spots, so be sure to reserve.

Oskar

$$

A huge glass ceiling gives the large dining room a light atmosphere even in winter. In summer, try for a table in the beer garden to enjoy fine Franconian fare and Continental dishes. Be on the lookout for seasonal specialties, like strawberry and white asparagus salad.

Restaurant Heilig-Geist-Spital

$$

Heavy wood furnishings and a choice of more than 100 wines make this huge, 650-year-old wine tavern—built as the refectory of the city hospital—a popular spot.

Wolffenzacher

$$

This self-described "Franconian nostalgic inn" harks back to the 17th century when the local Wirtshaus (inn-pub) was the meeting place for everyone from the mayor's scribes to the local carpenters. Beer and hearty traditional food are shared at wooden tables either in the rustic interior or out in the shady beer garden.
