Bamberg Restaurants

  1. Messerschmidtt

    In the birth house of plane engineer Willy Messerschmidtt, who also founded his first company here in 1923, is this stylish gourmet regional restaurant. It oozes old-world tradition with its dark wood, white-linen table settings and formal service. Above the ornately moulded exterior is a charming al fresco terrace overlooking a pretty park. The attached wine tavern has a looser atmosphere but the same prices.

  2. Schlenkerla

    Decked out with lamps fashioned from antlers, this 16th-century restaurant at the foot of the Dom is famous for its tasty Franconian specialities and its Rauchbier, served directly from the oak barrel.

  3. Zum Sternla

    Bamberg's oldest Wirtshaus (inn), Zum Sternla was established in 1380 and the camaraderie among its patrons has seemingly changed little in the intervening years. Bargain-priced staples include pork dishes, steaks, dumplings and sauerkraut, as well as specials, but it's a great, nontouristy place for traditional Brotzeit (snack), or just a pretzel and a beer.
