One of the best restaurant/beergardens I've ever been to is located in the old city wall, partly in the tower, partly in the walk along the battlements. There's a variety of things on offer. Sit under old trees in the beergarden and enjoy local and Polish fare which is excellently cooked, and beer which is excellently brewed. Or sit on one of the romantic little tables by candle-light in the walk on the battlements with your sweetheart, looking at the medieval castle skyline. Or sit inside in the restaurant on rustic dark wood tables. Be sure to check out the large function room in the tower with near-360 degree panoramic views above the roofs of Nuremberg. Enjoy!

Closest U-Bahn: Woehrder Wiese, or walk from Lorenzkirche U-Bahn in 5-10 mins, going eastwards along the river Pegnitz past the lovely Heilig Geist Spital

The Bäckerhof has a Thai restaurant downstairs and a bar upstairs. The building is unassuming from the outside but has a great space inside. The restaurant food is good and fairly inexpensive, with a small separate lounge area. Through the back there is a fussball table. Upstairs is a really huge bar with chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. Sofas, table service, cocktail waiters and a DJ make it a great place for a couple of pre-club drinks.

A laid-back cafe-bar with very friendly staff and decent cheap food.

This restaurant used to be a hospital and is the real-deal for stereotypical Bavarian food. The staff wear traditional Bavarian clothing and the menu is nearly 100% meat with cabbage and/or potato noodles. Also has good beer, but not one for the vegetarians.

This cafe, which is also a hotel, is a great, stylish place for breakfast, lunch, coffee, dinner, drinks etc in the very centre of town. Has a lovely terrace right above the river Pegnitz. Try to grab one of the few secluded outdoor tables in the back. On a summer day, there's no better place to be: just you, the river, a few ducks, a gentle breeze... what else would you want?

Mauthalle is one of the biggest medieval buildings in the centre of Nürnberg. Built in 1498 it was first used as a depository for salt and wheat. From the 1800's it was used to house municipal offices.
And after being burnt down during the second world war, it was restored to its former glory in the 1950's. Today it houses a shopping centre and in the basement is a restaurant and brewery called Barfüsser.

Most restaurants and bars only sell two or three types of beer, usually from a single brewery. This place is totally different: They sell more than a dozen beers from small breweries in the Nuremberg/Forchheim/Bamberg area. Snacks are simple and affordable. Having tried a traditional beer here you'll never touch a Budweiser again!

Enjoy a schnapps after your meal or have a different one with every beer. If you are travelling with children, be warned: this place is unpleasantly smoky. Try to get there early as it is hugely popular with the locals and therefore always somewhat crowded.

Looks dodgy from the outside but claims to be Germany's first Sri Lankan restaurant. Their curries (including kangaroo!) are
certainly ex-Ceylon-t!
