  • 1. Anna Liebt Brod und Kaffee

    $

    In a city famous for its cafés, Anna is a safe chain of high-quality bakeries in Regensburg and one of the best places for coffee and cake in the afternoon. Breakfast under the vaulted ceilings is pleasant as well are the sandwiches to go. The wonderful bread and pastries more than make up for the surly barista.

  • 3. Gasthof Stockhammer

    $

    Elbow your way past the locals in this favorite family-run restaurant, where you'll dine on homemade Bavarian specialties in a handsome wood-paneled dining room. Though portions are ample, the emphasis is on presentation and freshness; vegetables are crisp and meat and fish are never overdone. Look for the local walleye served in a light herb-butter sauce, veal shank with noodles, or crispy roast pork with sweet red cabbage salad. Other factors in its favor: an outdoor terrace and central location.

    Am Oberen Zweck 2, Kelheim, Bavaria, 93309, Germany

  • 4. Hacklberger Bräustüberl

  • 6. Historische Bratwurstküche Zum Gulden Stern

    $

    The city council meets here—at the oldest bratwurst restaurant in the world—to decide the official size and weight of the Nürnberger bratwursts, so this should be your first stop to try the ubiquitous local delicacy. The sausages have to be small enough to fit through a medieval keyhole, which in earlier days enabled pub owners to sell them after hours.

    Zirkelschmiedg. 26, Nürnberg, Bavaria, 90402, Germany
    0911-205–9288

    Known For

    • Freshly roasted bratwurst, grilled on a beech-wood fire
    • Saure Zipfel (boiled sausages prepared in stock of Franconian wine and onions)
    • Medieval atmosphere
  • 7. Historische Wurstküche

    $

    At the world's oldest, and possibly smallest, bratwurst grill, just by the Stone Bridge, succulent Regensburger sausages are prepared right before your eyes on an open beech-wood charcoal grill. If you want to eat them inside in the tiny dining room, you'll have to squeeze past the cook to get there. The homemade sauerkraut and mustard are excellent and available for sale.

    Thundorferstr. 3, Regensburg, Bavaria, 93047, Germany
    0941-466–210

    Known For

    • Best Regensburger sausages in town

  • 8. Klosterbräu

    $

    This massive old stone-and-half-timber house has been standing since 1533, making it Bamberg's oldest brewpub. The cuisine is basic, robust, filling, and tasty, with such items as a bowl of beans with a slab of smoked pork, or marinated pork kidneys with boiled potatoes. Klosterbäu brews a fine Rauchbier, but its brown ale is the reason to come.

    Bamberg, Bavaria, 96049, Germany
    0951-52265

    Known For

    • Klosterbraun, Bamberg's most famous brown beer
    • Simple brewhouse cuisine
    • Local charm
  • 9. Leerer Beutel

    Bertoldstr. 9, Regensburg, Bavaria, 93047, Germany
    0941-58997

    • Solid Franconian cuisine with international elements
    • A huge warehouse that's also a venue for concerts, exhibitions, and film screenings
  • 10. Peschel Terrasse

    The beer you sip on the high, sunny terrace overlooking the Danube is brought fresh from Peschl's own brewery below, which, along with this traditional Bavarian restaurant, has been owned by the same family since 1855.

    Rosstränke 4, Passau, Bavaria, 94032, Germany
    0851-2489

    Known For

    • Solid traditional Bavarian cuisine
    • Homemade beer
    • Extraordinary view
  • 11. Schlenkerla

    $

    Set in the middle of Old Town, this tavern has been serving beer inside an ancient half-timber house since 1405. The real reason to come here is to try the Aecht Schenkerla Rauchbier, a dark beer brewed with smoked malt that tastes like liquid ham—it's an acquired taste but worth sampling. The best strategy is not to sip and enjoy, but to gulp down the first half; if you can choke down the first one, you'll be a fan for life.

    Dominikanerstr. 6, Bamberg, Bavaria, 96049, Germany
    951-56050

    Known For

    • Rauchbier
    • Hefty local specialties
    • Traditional atmosphere and food
  • 12. Weinstube Nüsslein

    $

    Not everything in Bamberg is smokey beer; Franconia produces some of Germany's finest wines. This small traditional wine bar below the cathedral has an extensive wine list. They don't serve food, but if you bring your own German Brotzeit, an evening meal of bread, cheese, cold cuts, and pickles, they will provide you with dishes and silverware.

    Lugbank 1, Bamberg, Bavaria, 96049, Germany
    0951-58014
  • 13. Weisses Brauhaus

    $

    There's atmosphere to spare at this traditional brewery specializing in wheat beer, the oldest in Bavaria. Seated at rustic wood tables under vaulted ceilings, or outdoors in the spacious beer garden,the spirit is festive and the food and beer plentiful: rib-sticking schnitzel smothered with mushroom sauce and served with braised onions and potato-bacon salad, homemade sausages with horseradish and boiled potatoes, or whole fried fish all washed down with a giant mug of pale wheat beer. If there's room, the towering desserts are worth the effort.
