Unfortunately, it was just an OK dining experience here for me. Nothing really was terribly bad,…read morebut it wasn't that great, either. After hiking around the lake for about one and one half hours in the late morning, I was getting hungry for lunch. When we arrived here it was about lunchtime, and there was no other folks eating here. That may have been a sign that things weren't going to turn out too well. My choice of hamburger had an interesting (in a good way) bun, and meat was well-done and very dry. Potato fries were OK with some seasoning. Fitnesssalat--"Healthy" salad that my wife ordered had some good ingredients and tasted fresh. She wished it had more traditional Bavarian pickled vegetables. Chicken nuggets were OK. There were several traditional Franconian dishes like schäuferle, schweinbraten and schnitzel on the menu boards. Perhaps I should've tried one of them, but they probably weren't that great judging from what I had to eat. Oh well, at least we tried. You never know what you'll encounter unless you try first.

I tried their dry house white wine and it was very good. I ordered the cordon bleu schnitzel. It came with a salad and was largely portioned for the price. I really liked the dressing on the salad. I also appreciated the seasoning on the fries. The restaurant also provided a lime and it complimented the schnitzel very well. Overall, this was a nice dining experience and I can definitely see myself returning.

This restaurant was highly recommended by our friends, and we were not disappointed. We opted to…read moresit outside during very nice summer evening. We later found out that our choice was right since indoor section was rather warm and uncomfortable. They offer traditional Bavarian/Franconian cuisine. It must be a mushroom season, since there were quite a few dishes with wild mushroom sauce. I opted for a schweinbraten (roasted pork). It came with two large potato dumplings (klossen) and a dish of sauerkraut. It was very good, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The gravy was not creamy or thick like what I used to in the states, but it was very flavorful. Since potato dumplings are somewhat bland, you really need some good tasting gravy to enjoy them. A young man was our server, he spoke excellent English, and he was very helpful. I understand that he's a grandson of the owner. His brother is the chef. Service was prompt and courteous. You have to remember that dishes are served as they become ready unlike in the states. We were a table of five, and we were served in two shifts. You have to start when you were served not to let your food get too cold. It's a little awkward, but it is what it is. There are German and English menus. I noticed English menu is simplified, and it doesn't include many dishes German menu includes like the daily menu. We ordered from the daily menu (I discovered later that it really doesn't change too often). Overall, it was an excellent dining coupled with good conversation with friends made a near perfect evening experience. We'll be back again, I'm sure.

But once you've acknowledged that, you can turn your attention to why so many Ansbach locals have been coming back here year after year: the food. And the beer garden. Especially the beer garden. In the summer, the Mohren's beer garden is roughly what a watering hole in the savanna is to migrating herds of animals. Eventually, they all end up here. Families, regulars' tables, cyclists, people winding down after work, folks who meant to stay "just for a drink" and are still sitting there three hours later. The servers often have an astonishing amount on their plates. Sometimes it seems as though they have to coordinate twenty tables, three special requests, and a spontaneous mass migration all at once. Nevertheless, they remain friendly and keep their bearings far longer than most of the guests. Franconian cuisine does exactly what Franconian cuisine is supposed to do: leave you full, happy, and just a little bit too full to move. From hearty classics to light snacks, it has everything you need to convincingly explain afterward why you simply can't manage dessert today. The prices are pleasantly down-to-earth. You don't go home feeling like you've taken out a small loan. The interior is cozy, too. While the beer garden takes center stage in the summer, the restaurant itself is the place where, when the weather turns bad, you find yourself thinking, "Actually, it's pretty nice in here, too." The location is also ideal: right on the edge of the old town, exactly where historic alleyways and shopping streets meet. Bottom line: The Mohren is an institution. Not fancied up, not chasing trends, but simply a place where good Franconian food, a proper beer garden, and many satisfied guests have been reliably coming together for years. If Ansbach had an official after-work hub, it would probably be right here.

Upon recent softening of the COVID-19 restrictions, we decided to resume our Friday outing group. One of the members suggested we try Colmberg restaurant. We were not disappointed. Since the weather is getting better, both indoor restaurant seating and outdoor biergarten are available. For lunch, reservations are not required. I'd suggest to make reservations if you're interested eating dinner, though. What a delightful dining experience we enjoyed together. I was thinking this would be another very casual dining for lunch as we are accustomed, but instead we were treated like dukes and duchess. Upon entering the hotel-restaurant entrance, we were greeted cheerfully and directed to the dining area. Since we were a group of five, they seated us in a corner table with bench seating and chairs. It was very roomy and nice with wall deco with hunting motif. I thought the menu was substantial offering some fancy Franconian dishes. One unique dish I noticed was venison. I haven't tried any venison since I arrived in Germany, and I jumped on this opportunity. It was really great. The fine red wine sauce and mushroom sauce were very tasty. Klößen (potato dumplings) were very good with the sauce. The rest of our group enjoyed our meal very much except perhaps the one who had salad with fried chicken. It lacked typical Franconian seasoned vegetables underneath the heap of lettuce leaves. Mango chutney was very sweet, perhaps too sweet. Overall, great dining experience with great service. It ended up about 17€ per person.

The restaurant is in a castle that was renovated into a hotel and it has so much art and history on display. During the summer the courtyard seating is so beautiful and you can enjoy the extended twilight hours. This hotel also allows dogs, as do most places in Germany. The prices are a little high but you get really good quality food and service. The only downside is the parking, which can be very tight. I definitely recommend the Schnitzel and the Burgherrenspiess which is a beef skewer. Guten Appetit!
