Restaurant Heilig-Geist-Spital Nürnberg

One of the best and oldest restaurants in town if you want to taste the authentic Bavarian cuisine!

We were able to get a reservation same day for 6pm. During the Christmas holidays it is advised. We were promptly seated. Our drink orders arrived in two minutes. Our waitress Debbie/Deborah was so personal, and such a delight! She didn't stir us wrong with her recommendation of the pork shoulder roast. It was more than enough to share and was sooo good. She is the kind of employee you wish all restaurants employed.

Wife and I are celebrating our 30th anniversary with an excursion in Nuremberg. Just had an amazing Franconian dinner- wonderful hosts who deliver amazing fare with friendly service! Pork shoulder, potato dumplings and saurkraut, along with venison, cranberry, and spaetzle. We don't speak German and Deborah helped give us a wonderful dining experience.

This is German food in its best traditional style. Spatula, pork shoulder, red cabbage. All was very good and the atmosphere is comfortable. There were also very accommodating in changing selection so that I can have spetzele.

Absolutely stunning and cosy restaurant. Great food too. So glad we stumbled upon this place at Christmas time; the decorations were top notch and it created the perfect Christmas atmosphere.

Just had an amazing meal here, however little bit annoyed as went in at lunch time to book table for that evening and was told not to worry just turn up, we did this and only had a table for 1 hour so ruined it a bit as could have spent longer here, so my advice is book before as it gets very busy. However, the food was amazing, our waitress spoke excellent english and told us about the local dishes and i went with her recommendation of the pork shoulder, sauerkaut and potatoe dumpling (basically mash pot mixed with flour to make it stoggy), it was all excellent the meat just fell off the bone and the gravy/sauce was very tasty, we also had red cabbage aswell which i would recommend. The others in the party had steak which they were happy with and the 3rd had beef brisket which was not like it is back home, it was a slice of beef with side of boiled potoes in oil, very dry the meat and oil made pots soggy so that was a disappointment but not because it was cooked awful but because it just wasnt what we expected. I would highly recommend you listen to the dishes they recommend. Our waitress also recommend a red beer which we would not have known about so again great to try something new, hubby says it was very nice. The restaurant itself had a lovely atmosophe and great decor, very traditional. All in all i thought it was excellent and would go back, but i would book ahead this time. FYI toilets are downstairs and you have to go up quite a few steps to enter resturant so if someone in party needs lift/ramps i would recommend you ring and ask as i didnt see any.

We just had a wonderful Christmas lunch here. The food was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend the pork shoulder - delicious meat (so tender), potato dumpling, sauerkraut and gravy. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was absolutely perfect for our German Christmas Day. Thank you!
