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.

I had an opportunity to finally visit this place. I heard a lot mostly good opinions but wanted to…read morecheck by myself. We was visiting during very hot summer evening and unfortunately the place is not air conditioned. To stay there all evening it was some kind of challenge also because most of the tables was taken. The stuff is extremely nice and able to communicate in English. The all process of serving it's very German so to have a dinner we really need to have a time. I choose tapas which was pretty good. After that I ordered a duck. And what surprised me the duck was almost unbeatable. I fell very sorry to say that. But my piece was gummy and it takes a lot of time to chew. My husbands was surprised how I could even eat that but it's not a part of my personality to complain to the stuff. I just moved to dessert. We also ordered polio which was good and tuna filet. Nothing to complain. We choose a very fine bottle of wine. The dessert was an interesting connection of few flavors and we really like it. The place is worthy to visit and I wish I will go back but this time I will choose something different than duck for sure. I hope that the chef will take care about that. I still consider this place one from two the best places in Schweinfurt with that kind of service. For sure the cuisine here for me is the way way better that typical German food. What is important for me the place is very kids friendly.

Wow what can I say about this Franconian style restaurant. Just some back story. I flew into…read moreGermany about three weeks ago (2/2019) and first tried to go here on the Sunday I arrived. They were doing some remodeling so I was unable to get dinner. I tried this place one other time and could not manage to catch them while they were open. I was done and wasn't going to try again. Then I had randomly met a friendly local that suggested a restaurant up the street that had great local cuisine and when I asked which is was he said this place. I told myself I would try one more time and man am I glad I did. The food is all fresh, the liver dumpling soup they have is seriously crazy good and if I didn't tell you that's what it was you wouldn't know. I thought it was meatball soup when I got it. It rocked! It wasn't until a week later that I found out what it was. I also had several other dishes there that were all good but two really stood out. The snitzel and the cordon bleu were out of this world. Ok nothing in Germany is precooked or made beforehand like in the US. The seasoning on the crust on the Cordon Bleu was crisp and very flavorful with just the right seasonings and just the right amount of ham and cheese inside. It was magical. Like everywhere here the beer was awesome but the real star is the lady that waited on me. The last three or four times I was here she was really nice and always says hello when I see her around town. FYI they do have menus with English and do take American Express as many places do not here.

I found this gem looking on my trusty Yelp app when in town and it was just a small walk down from my hotel, so it was a no-brainer. The restaurant itself is well maintained, clean, and has a charming atmosphere. Grabbing a seat, I was offered both a German and English version of their menu to peruse and select my choices. Service was nice and helpful, a positive service experience. The menu gives a wide variety of regional type dishes and entrees, good beer selection and other drink offerings. I chose the Jagerschnitzel the first time, a boneless pork cutlet with sauce and fresh mushrooms. It was served with French fries/pommes frites and a salad. The Jagerschnitzel was excellent, very flavorful and had a homemade like quality to it. Another entree I've enjoyed is the small pork filets in a pepper cognac cream sauce...so delicious! I was pretty impressed with my entree choices. They do take credit cards as well as cash here at the time of my visit, including Visa and American Express. Oh, and they do have a pretty spacious beergarden out back, in season of course. Bottom line: Blaue Traube is the "real deal" when wanting Franconian regional food, a good experience here all around. Selection and taste of entrees, atmosphere, and service are all great from my visits here.

The menu looked interesting. The staff was super nice and attentive (which isn't always the case in Europe). I had a starter and a main course. The chef also send out two comp amuse bouche. Both were delicious. Especially the white tomato soup, the flavor was amazing, although it was bit salty, on the other hand, really good if you dip a bit of bread with it) The foie gras and scallop starter had good flavor and texture balance. But it was a bit oily. The pork tenderloin main course unfortunately was so tough I couldn't cut through the meat and ended up sending it back. They were very accommodating and fixed it for me (I felt bad because it was pretty late and they were clearly closing the restaurant). The fixed plate was better, but parts were still chewy. Beside the issue with the meat the rest of the plate was way over salted. The place has potential, but not quite there yet. One starter, one main, plus a glass of wine and water came or to be ~45€, which is a lot for over salted food. However well intentioned it may be.
