While wandering the old town and it's very nice market (and enjoying abundent gluewhein mit flaming rum) we settled down for a nice lunch at Schlenkerla. Great choice! First, the smoked beer. Not my favorite, but hey, when in Bamberg ya gotta try it. The menu was not extensive but that's not a negative. I think too many restaurants offer too many choices with too little quality. Not a problem here. My friends ordered gulasche soup; a baked potato with salad combination plate (with two "small" baked potatoes drenched with what appeared to be fifteen pounds of butter); very tasty sausage with very, very tasty sauerkraut; and what I ordered: Bamberg style stuffed onion with mashed potatoes. I thought I was being virtuous. I must rethink my definition. The two very large onions were stuffed with a pork/bacon/bread/herb mix then roasted. Delicate taste that paired beautifully with mashed potatoes and smoked beer/beef stock sauce. Wunderbar! Look, I'm not a fan of tourist traps. Schlenkerla is certainly well-promoted to all of the tour operators, but most of the diners were obviously local. The menu was the same for all, as was the service. Excellent choice, and highly recommended.

Beware of the parking scam there at Kreuzberg. I got a ticket stating that I didn't pay for parking…read moreand parking was a certain fee per hour. When I parked at the parking lot I had to register my license plate number and I paid for the full day. There was no option for an hour rate. There was a sign also that stated that parking all day is 3 euro. I paid the three euro and then a week later I got a parking ticket stating that the amount paid wasn't righ. This is stupid as hell because when you leave the parking lot you have to register again so that you pay the right amount. This didn't make sense because there was a sign that said 3 euro all day parking which I did paid. Also the letter didn't state how long I was there and how much I already paid. They want me to pay 45 euro for the fine. I would recommend that you don't park there or complain if you are being scammed or have been scammed. Also the parking is run by a private company which made this experience a bad one. I would recommend that Kreuzberg find another company to do business because this makes the Kreuzberg Monastery look bad and they will be getting more negative reviews.

Make sure you get some euro out, too. Once there, you park down the hill from the monastery (1.50 euro) and walk up. Secure a nice table and then make your way to the drinks booth and orders as much beer as you want (remember you are also paying for the deposit, if you want it back return the mugs and/or bottles). But if you are going to make a meal of it, grab a tray then head to the register and order your food. The menu are on the walls, but also online. Anything pork or sausage is great. If you aren't too hungry, get some bread, butter, and cheese and enjoy the beer. Roast pork is great so if you are hungry check it out! Sit inside if its cold or rainy, but beware its packed and you'll have to fight to just share a table. If its nice, go outside, the atmosphere is very pleasant, plus it won't be so loud. They offer tours and they have a gift shop inside. But if anything just have a beer, it won't dissapoint.
