to assist. Make sure you get a non-smoking room as some pong of secondhand smoke.
Breakfast is an optional €5 extra.
Eating
'In Regensburg we ate a magnificent lunch, had a divine musical entertainment, an Eng-
lish hostess and a wonderful Moselle wine,' wrote Mozart to his wife Constance in 1790.
Available in Mozart's day, but better washed down with a local Kneitinger Pils, is the de-
lectable bratwurst (grilled sausage) and
Händlmaier's Süsser Hausmachersenf,
a distinct-
ive sweet mustard.
Haus Heuport €€
( 599 9297; Domplatz 7; mains €7-23; from 9am; )
Enter an internal courtyard
(flanked by stone blocks where medieval torches were once extinguished) and climb up
the grand old wooden staircase to this space-rich Gothic dining hall for eye-to-eye views
of the Dom St Peter and an internationally flavoured culinary celebration. The Sunday
breakfast buffet runs to a hangover-busting 3pm. Always busy.
INTERNATIONAL
Spaghetteria €
(Am Römling 12; dishes €4.50-10; lunch & dinner)
Get carbed up at this former 17th-
century chapel, where you can splatter six types of pasta with 23 types of sauce, and get
out the door for the cost of a cocktail in Munich. The all-you-can-eat buffet (€5 to €6.50)
is a cheap way to fill up at lunchtime.
ITALIAN
Historische Wurstkuchl €
(Thundorfer Strasse 3; 6 sausages €7.80; 8am-7pm)
Completely submerged several
times by the Danube's fickle floods, this titchy eatery has been serving the city's tradition-
al finger-size sausages, grilled over beech wood and dished up with sauerkraut and sweet
grainy mustard, since 1135, making it the world's oldest sausage kitchen.
