GERMAN
Hütt'n €€
(Bergstrasse 20; mains €5.50-15; 4pm-midnight Mon-Fri, 11am-12.30am Sat,
11am-10.30pm Sun)
Successfully and confusingly relocated from Burgstrasse to
Bergstrasse, this local haunt perpetually overflows with admirers of
Krustenschäufele
(roast pork with crackling, dumplings and sauerkraut salad) and the finest bratwurst put to
work in various dishes, though menus change daily (Friday is fish day). It's also not the
worst place to try a tankard or three of Franconian
Landbier
.
Heilig-Geist-Spital €€
( 221 761; Spitalgasse 16; mains €7-17; lunch & dinner)
Lots of dark carved
wood, a herd of hunting trophies and a romantic candlelit half-light make this former hos-
pital, suspended over the Pegnitz, one of the most atmospheric dining rooms in town.
Sample the delicious, seasonally changing menu inside or out in the pretty courtyard,
where the tinkle of cutlery on plate competes with a dribbling fountain.
BAVARIAN
Marientorzwinger €€
(Lorenzer Strasse 33; mains €8-17; lunch & dinner)
The last remaining
Zwinger
eat-
ery (taverns built between the inner and outer walls when they relinquished their military
use) in Nuremberg is an atmospheric place to chomp on sturdy Franconian staples or a ve-
gie dish in the simple wood-panelled dining room or the leafy beer garden. Swab the
decks with a yard of Fürth-brewed Tucher.
GERMAN
Restaurant Oberkrainer €€
(Hauptmarkt 7; mains €7-21.50; lunch & dinner)
Blending tradition and nutrition for
35 years, central Oberkrainer is the place to explore Franconia with a knife and fork. You
might want to skip a meal before tackling the strapping portions of goose, beef steak,
Schäufele
, schnitzel and the house speciality of tenderloin in paprika and garlic sauce, all
served in the timber-rich dining room.
