Bratwursthäusle

Absolutely loved this restaurant in Nuremberg! The famous Nuremberg sausages were outstanding – perfectly grilled, full of flavor, and served just right. A true local specialty that lives up to its reputation. The atmosphere was cozy and authentic, and the service was friendly and efficient. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the city and looking to enjoy real Nuremberg flavors!

Great location in the historic city center of Nuremberg. Few min away from the castle. The local sausages are fantastic as well as a decent beer selection. Service can be a little slow at times.

Bratwursthäusle is an iconic spot in Nuremberg for bratwurst lovers. Located in the historic heart of the city, the restaurant offers an authentic taste of Bavaria. Freshly grilled sausages are prepared over a beechwood fire and served with sauerkraut and homemade bread. The atmosphere is cozy, with outdoor seating available for sunny days. A must-visit for foodies and fans of traditional German cuisine! Highly recommended!

Oh my ! I’m not a sausage fan, but, this experience changed my mind. Their specialty Bratwursthäusle are grilled over beech wood fire hence gives it a unique roasted aroma that you don’t find in other restaurants. Sausages are made fresh every day in their own butcher's shop. They are served on pewter plates, as customary in the Middle Ages. With the great ambience and centrally located right by the historic St. Sebald church, I would had given it a 5 stars authentic ambience and experience, if it wasn’t because of the 3 Vietnamese lady cooks who make your meal and are very loud. Kinda ruined the otherwise authentic experience.

This is a great restaurant in the very center of Nuremberg. It's located at the back of St. Sebaldus Church and has both - indoor and outdoor seating which is very pleasant in summer. Restaurant is famous for its Nuremberg sausages which are mouthwatering, as well the pork knuckle as a main. It is also open later in the evening than others. Place to recommend

I had one of the best dinners here in Nuremberg. The liver soup was good and flavoursome and the Nuremberg sausages were delicious. The restaurant also has a very cosy traditional decor. Highly recommend if you are in Nuremberg.

If you are visiting the wonderful medieval city center of Nürenberg, having a bite of their famous Nürnberger-würstchen (sussages) is a must, and there isn’t a better place than the historic Wursthäusel, which has been serving happy customers since the Middle Ages continuously. Enjoy the history and tasty grilled sausages with a traditional red ale.

The grilled sausage was tasty. The staff were very nice and welcoming, but I found there weren’t many vegetarian options on the menu. I ordered the cheese board with bread, but the portion size felt a bit off — there were several pieces of cheese served with only two small pieces of bread. A bit more balance would have made it a much better experience.

Another year another visit. Have to raise my review to a 5. We actually ate here twice during our four days and they were on the same day(our last day). We loved the bratwurst so much we had to have more so we did. They were fully booked for the evening but the manager made an exception. We were lucky. We ordered the same thing. The white asparagus and the plate of 8 bratwurst with potato salad. It was so good we would have eaten here again but it was our last day. The brats are some of the best we have had in Nuremberg. They cook on a live fire in the middle of the restaurant. I just watch in amazement. I asked on my way out and was told they cook about 15,000 each day. That's a lot! Everyone seems so happy to be there both staff and customers. A good sign. Highly recommend. Prices are extremely reasonable and one can get a really great take away Brotchen with 3 Brats for just a few Euros. Can't wait to return

Great service. Amazing food. Totally worth a stop. Have a beer and relax. Go inside. Enjoy the ambiance

We really enjoyed the sausages here. Simple unpretentious fare, but really tasty. The warm potato salad was a true highlight, I wish I could replicate it at home! Very busy place but worth the wait. Definitely stop here if you're in Nuremberg,

Great dinner! We loved the asparagus salad, potato soup, sausages and potato salad. The pork shoulder was a huge highlight. Service was great!

Both service and ambulance were good. Only the food is not to my taste. But I believe some people really liked it.

We absolutely loved this place. Service was friendly and sausages, sauerkraut and potato salad was excellent. The Apple strudel might be one of the tastiest I've had anywhere. I got 8 sausages and wished I had 12!

Blew my socks off! A local friend recommended this place as it serves the local "Original Nuremberg Sausages" prepared in the traditional way (from the 1300s!).. I typically am not a fan of sausages due to textures, HOWEVER, this was 1000% worth giving them a try. The sausages were flavorful and the texture was *not that creepy rubbery popping sensation. They are pan fried and home made - I think this does a lot to preserve the quality of the sausage. Not that these traditional sausages are small, just a few inches in length so you're able to manage the quantity easily with their multiple plate options. These sausages are accompanied by a side dish of your choosing -- though they were generous in recommending and allowing me to split my side dish in half so I could get the homemade sauerkraut and potato salad. And boy was that worth it. sauerkraut gets a bad rap... In this case it was a delicious pairing with the rich sausage with its tanginess. The potato salad was both smooth and chunky with softness of flavor I can place - unlike the other items in the plate, this was served room temp/cold (not hot) and balanced beautifully. Lastly, I got a pretzel - it was delicious but a little hard for my tastes, I prefer a doughy pretzel. But you could taste the freshness in the bread and salt.. so still worth tasting. In addition, the service was great! The Germans seem to really like their reservations, often resulting in unavailable seating at popular restaurants. However, they offered my a table upon my arrival and served me a bit later (maybe 15 minutes). My waitress was lovely, happy to offer recommendations and kind when I asked if she spoke English. They all seem to be in no rush to kick me out of here (nor any other restaurant in Germany), so it looks like I'll need to grab their attention to pay the bill. On a final note, for good and bad, this restaurant is in the heart of the tourist area. Because of this, my friend indicated their prices are a bit high for what you can find elsewhere. On the other hand, I deeply enjoyed the bustling activity and people watching throughout and following my meal.

Great old Franconian brathouse on the main Christmas market. Great ambience and attentive service. RECOMMEMDED to us by a local Nerumberger back home.

Great spot to stop in Nürnberg for sausages, beer, and bread. I really enjoyed the potato salad and sauerkraut as well!

If you're looking for simple and authentic German food at a reasonable price this place is perfect. Friendly English speaking staff. Limited seating inside so if it's cold dress warm and be prepared eat outside with the locals.

One of my favorites... located across City Hall and just beow the St. Sebalduskirche, this one is a draw for tourists, but locals also frequent here, because you cannot pass up Nuernberger Bratwurst. It has rustic inside as well as outside seating. Roasted over a wood grill, these tiny little finger sized brats, specific to this city, pack a wonderful flavor you just cannot get elsewhere. Order them by the hald dozen. 'Sechs auf Kraut' for the smaller appetite. Kraut goes perfect with it, potato salad is great with it too. I say simply get both. And don't forget to add a roll or a pretzel to sop up the juices. And a beer, you can't go wrong with the beer here.. or anywhere in Germany for that matter.

If you are in Nuremberg and pass by this place YOU BETTER GO IN. Their sausages + potato salad were amazing. Literally haven't had sausages that taste like this before... they did not disappoint at all. Servers were super friendly and they had an English menus option. Sit on their outdoor area if the wea the weather is nice with a cold beer and you'll be in heaven. Super fast service.

Our service was slow, roast pork too dry. Flies and bees everywhere in the outdoor seats. Gave up on eating there were so many.

My husband and I went here to try the traditional German cuisine and it did not disappoint! We had the traditional sausages, sauerkraut and potato salad. All 5 Stars! I also got a beer called Tucher cellar beer. So good 5 stars. What made the experience less than enjoyable was the service. Our server was so rude and impatient with us. We had just sat down not even opened the menu and she was coming by to take our order. We politely asked for a few minutes and she signed heavily obviously irritated and walked away. I kid you not 5 seconds later she came back and we still hadn't had time to look so we rushed and made some quick decisions about what to order. Thank goodness our decisions came out good. It was just so disappointing to find a place that had such good food to be paired with such terrible service. I would still recommend this place based on the food alone. The atmosphere was also pleasant. We sat outside and enjoyed the nice weather that day.

We came here for dinner last night and LOVED it! We ordered the soft pretzels, grilled bratwurst with potato salad, pork shoulder with the dumpling, a cheese bread plate and the apple strudel. All were amazing!! The bratwurst sausages were about finger size so we ordered a plate of 8, which was perfect. The pork shoulder was uhmazing! It was so tender and fell right off the bone! It was also covered in amazing sauce. Seriously everything we ordered was amazing, the vibes were great snd the people working there were so wonderful. Honestly I would come here everyday if I could!

DELICIOUS! Service was great. Food was hot and fresh. The servers were kind and offered suggestions and were able to communicate portion sizes, etc. That mustard was STRONG but was so flavorful. The pie with vanilla cream was also to die for. Definitely worth a visit!

All the food was delicious. Service was prompt. Food was fresh and the server was very friendly and informative.

Really nice, tasty enjoyable place. Servers were quick and friendly. Mustard was spicy and complemented the meat. The sauerkraut and potato salad was very different and flavorful. Would highly recommend.

Came 5000 miles for Spargel soup, Spargel with hollandaise sauce, and Nurnberg sausages. I was not disappointed, all was outstanding. Wish I could get this in the states. Daughter had schäufele which she enjoyed. If at all possible we will be back.

Love the ambiance, the energy and helpful staff! After dinner we ordered the most scrumptious apple strudel .... OMG I am wishing I could bring it home with me. The pastry, apples and cinnamon, the amazing sauce and fresh whipped cream was the perfect dessert to end our night at the Christmas Market.

So good we went twice. Our first meal there was the Nürnberg sausages with potato salad. The portions were just right. We topped off our meal with the Apple strudel. Dessert was a little underwhelming but tasty. The 2nd time we stopped in was for the ?weckla? Sandwiches. These are to-go only. You have to go inside to order. There is a small window to the left of the host stand. Go ahead and put mustard on both. They were delicious. There are hosts there to seat you unlike some of the other restaurants we went to. They accept card but really prefer cash. Our waiter was very inconvenienced by the idea of us paying with a card so we paid with cash instead.

I have passed by this place numerous times while walking around Nuremberg. I decided to stop by this time since my parents were in town and they have never been to Nuremberg. This is the oldest restaurant in Nuremberg and officially the oldest sausage in Europe. Despite it looking like a decently sized restaurant on the outside, the inside was kind of small and cozy. It was packed when we arrived, but luckily, there was a small open table for us. The dining area surrounds the grill area, so you can see them cooking food as you wait. Of course, we had to order Nürnberger bratwurst. They didn't have any special flavor to them, that I could tell, compared to any other bratwurst I've had in the country. Also ordered pork knuckle, thinking it was schweinshaxe (roasted pork knuckle), but it was boiled. I did not really like their boiled pork knuckle, but could also be because I was expecting/thinking/hoping it would be the roasted kind. All in all, we enjoyed our visit there and I would say it is worth a stop, after all, it is a Michelin Guide (not starred) restaurant.

Nice large restaurant with plenty of seating. We had potato stew and 1/4 duck which was very good. The duck is offered in 1/4 and 1/2 sizes but the quarter size is plenty. It came with a potato dumpling but I'm not a big fan of it. The meal came with a salad but it was not very fresh. Desert was an apple strudel and it was average. Service is ok, food is good but if for no other reason go for the atmosphere.

In a very touristy but interesting area. Looks good. Was busy but no one waiting. Maitre 'd and hostess wouldn't even talk with us -- just shook their heads no and walked away. We are well dressed and only party of 3 at 7 pm. Very disappointing.

One of the better restaurants in the area. Within a very short walk to the 1,000-year-old Cathedral in the heart of downtown Nuremberg. Fantastic outdoor seating where you'll enjoy good beer and bratwurst, all while watching people walk on by. Maybe one of the best spots on a nice spring afternoon/evening. They're reasonably priced, have an English menu and the staff can speak enough English to make the experience frustration free. Do yourself a solid and order the bratwurst with their homemade sauerkraut, you'll be glad you did.

Seated inside as soon as we walked in. Beer came with 1 minute. Food within 3 minutes. Beer and food were excellent. Lots of locals eat here. Good seating and German ambience.

You're coming here for the BRATS - that's what they do. Look for the smoke coming out near the big church! The menu has a few other options, but the Nuremburgers are truly delicious and cooked on the wood grill, giving them an extra tasty flair. The place was packed, and reservations are recommended, at least for dinner service/peak times. Pro tip - the chocolate cake dessert was also a hit with our group, if you're looking for something sweet after the meal.

Come for the atmosphere. It's enchanting. The sausage is very good. The pork knuckle.... hmmmm. Was not yummy crunchy on outside. It was more like what you see in a lunch box on a construction site. But, the service, the ambiance, the church bells, THE TREE LIGHTS..... good God!!! Come. You'll never forget. Oh yeah! The beer. .

Got an order of 6 brats and sauerkraut. The brats aren't bad and the sauerkraut is sour! Exactly the way I like it. A bit dense eating so I didn't eat anymore. Sat outside and it was a beautiful day. You can make reservations for the outside tables.

My friend claimed that these were the best bratwurst in all of Nurnberg, and probably Bavaria, so I definitely needed to give it a try. The place is a restaurant, and if you sit down they give you a good variety of different types of breads. However, if you want just the bratwurst, you can head towards the back of the restaurant, and they sell them there for you to take away! The sandwich was good, and the bratwurst itself was also really good, being cooked well and nice and juicy, but I wouldn't say it blew my mind or was uniquely more delicious than any other bratwurst. But maybe my bratwurst tastes aren't refined enough to tell they difference, my friend seemed to enjoy it a ton!

The food was FABULOUS, as was the service and atmosphere! Will definitely come back if I am lucky enough to visit here again!!!

Well the special brots only made in this town, by law, are served here. More the size of links. With saurekraut or potato salad. If you want the large regular brot, you get the number ten on the menu. The tradition on seating inside is they seat you at any open seats. Interesting. Beer is icy cold. Lots of old world charm in old town Nuremberg.

This restaurant is nothing short of AMAZING! If your are looking for the best bratwurst in Nuremberg, do not settle for any other restaurant!

Nurenburg is known for many things... The famous Christmas market, the Gingerbread Lebkuchen, and Drei Im Weckla, or 3 in a bun sausages. I went to the popular bratwursthaüsle located behind the St Sebald church. You can dine there or get a sandwich to go. The sandwich is only €2,50 if you take it to go, and it is truly a bargain! So, here's what you do. Upon entering the dining hall, there's a window on the right. Place your order, get a ticket. Walk over to the grill and pick up your bratwurst. While waiting, you can smell the smoky meaty char-filled goodness! There's condiments next to the pick up area. Quick, simple, cheap and yummy! I found out a day later in Regensburg that their Bratwursthausle gives their customers sauerkraut and mustard. This place did not. Therefore, 1 star less for not offering it.. and I did spy a pot of sauerkraut next to the grill too!

Definitely a tourist trap! I heard they were the best Bratwursts in all of Nuremberg, but while they were good, they were by no means the best I have had. That in itself is not a crime, but the service was rather distant, it is very busy and cramped, they seat you right next to total strangers so they can pack more people into the restaurant, AND to top it all off, they put bread and bretzels on the tables as if it were free, and then charge you for what you eat at the end. Probably wouldn't be a bad place if it wasn't busy, but this is just my experience. I would try it again when I go back.

Very good, but not the winner of the sausage war, at least not by our palate. We arrived in Nuremberg via a Danube River cruise. One of the city's many attractions pointed out to us was Bratwursthausle Nurnbürg, one of Germany's oldest sausage makers (since 1313, though the German federal state Thüringen and Franken, part of the federal state Bavaria, are still quarreling about who really has the oldest medieval "Bratwurst" recipe*). Our cruise director, Mario, informed us of a bit of a sausage rivalry between Regensburg and Nuremberg. He said we should be sure to try both famous sausages, and let him know which one we liked best. Well sorry Bratwursthausle Nurnbürg, but Historische Wurstküche (http://www.yelp.com/biz/historische-wurstkueche-ratisbon) wins hands down. We did not enjoy the softer texture of the Bratwursthausle Nurnbürg as much as the firmer texture of the Historische Wurstküche. Second, the more traditional mustard on the tables here was a bit "average" compared to the sweet mustard (Süsser Senf) served at the Historische Wurstküche. But just because we liked Historische Wurstküche more, does not mean that Bratwursthausle Nurnbürg is bad, in fact it was still quite good (just not the winner in our book - but this is a very personal thing and we were even told such opinions might be "fighting words" to use an American phrase). Bratwursthausle Nurnbürg is indeed cozy, with an unexpected twist. Service was cool and efficient, very German I suppose. As we sat, I noticed that my wife's ears perked up. "I hear Vietnamese.", she said (she is Vietnamese after-all). "Not Likely.", I said. But after looking around a bit, we noticed that all four people working at the tiny beechwood charcoal grill were indeed Asian, and speaking Vietnamese. How curious. As we waited for our food an older German couple sat next to us. We even had a small conversation about pets (they had a pet store bag with them). Sitting in the cozy setting I could easily imagine myself far from the city, in fact I suspect this restaurant was here long before most of the city. It was a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of Nuremberg. If we lived in Nuremberg, I could certainly see us being regulars, as the environment is super cozy, the atmosphere friendly, and Vietnamese chefs intriguing. It's still a dining experience not to be missed (especial if the weather is nice enough to sit outside, or for a quick "to go" order). I could definitely see me taking advantage of the "sausage on a roll to go" concept (pay at the door, give your ticket to the people at the grill, pluck your wrapped sausage from the basket on the counter, add mustard is desired). I suspect this may be a German/European thing, but do notice that napkin over the bread basket. That means that the bread, and pretzels, are not free. You will be on the honor system to tell your server how much you ate, but I have a feeling they know already. If in Nuremberg, I would highly recommend trying this delicious sausages, either at this location, or at the other location Das Bratwurstglöcklein. This is on the south side of the inner city near the "Handwerkerhof" (Crafts Yard), opposite the train station and also a short walk from the reviewed location. * For more on the history, see the respective websites (Bratwursthausle is only in German, but you can use a translator), or see kuechenmeyster's second post (the source of my parenthetical reference) at http://medievalcookery.blogspot.com/2010/01/medieval-hot-dog-stand.html.

Ok yeah yeah touristy but you want that german experience- pretzels beer sausages sauerkraut- we loved it and sitting at a table of germans so it must be the deal. The sausages look like american breakfast links but don't taste like them- and they are cooked over wood. We picked this place out before our trip even started as a must do and it was so worth it. we just got the plate of 8 with sauerkraut we didn't do sandwiches- and thats about all they have not a huge selection.

Loved it. Gotta go here to have what is reportedly the best Nurembergers in town. Not a huge place and they really pack you in and even double and triple you up at tables with others. But that makes for fun social situations you might not otherwise have. The grill is in the middle of the room where the bar area is grilling these sausages and the smell is intoxicating. They come with the best tasting sauerkraut ever that even those that don't like sauerkraut would probably like. Our server was awesome and we had him bring out one more plate and more beer because it was so good. Would go back here any time.

Not sure why this has decent ratings. My experience was poor. I found the staff disinterested in my business and presence. It felt like I was a nuisance to be there. Food was average for other local fares I had, and compared by price it was terrible value compared to other local restaurants I visited. When I paid the server she didn't even offer me change? As if she was entitled to a 5 euro tip on my meager meal for 1? ... there's tons of great food and service around, skip this one.

Ok. It was recommended to us, interesting to see. The wurst was ok but just ok. The beer was very good. The service correct. Nice building.

Great food and super cute historic place - a must when in Nurnberg! Friendly service - our server Kamil was awesome. The prices are very fair and they have a tiny (but incredible) menu because they specialize in just these amazing sausages. It's a bit touristy now but I don't care - it is truly great. Such cool traditional decor, too!

Yep, good brats. Very good brats. I'm from Wisconsin, I know brats. The best brats in Bavaria? Not sure, but they're worth eating for sure. The weinkraut was amazingly good, and the prices are fair. The weirdest thing was seeing two Chinese girls in dirndls flirting with two American businessmen. That was, I guess, the floor show. Americans who complain about the service: it's not like the US. You have to drag them to your table and ask for the check, otherwise they just think you're having a good time and want to stay. They're not into turning tables, they're into good service, which is different. So don't go given my Bratwurstlefreunden a one-star because you had to wait soooo long for your bill. Get over yourselves.

Amazing sausage restaurant . Their menu is very good and a lot of traditional german food. You can taste charcoal in this fresh sausage. Very good location . You can stop by while sightseeing around this restaurant. Inside the restaurant was also very very cute. Must go if you are around !

Ok, while I do not consider this place a tourist spot, everyone visiting Nuremberg must visit this restaurant. And for what's important: You should (must) order the bratwurst. You can order 6-8-10-12 with either saurkraut or potato "salad". As you sit down you will find a basket of bread/pretzels, keep count how many you eat, they are NOT FREE. You'll also find mustard. The whole point of the restaurant is to order the bratwurst, eat it with kraut, pretzels and mustard. An order of 10 is more than enough for a single person. They have other items in their very short menu, but C'MON you are there for the bratwurst. We tried finding a table during the summer and weekend, good luck....we tried once again during Christmas Market time for a late lunch and not issues finding a spot during the weekday. This place a very very German, meaning its very cozy. The beer is of course great.

Came across this little gem after visiting the Kaiserburg & heading down to the marketplace. We got 8 sausages & Nuremberg cheese for the complimentary pretzels & rolls. Delicious snack that filled us up!

The atmosphere of the restaurant is lovely! A great place to try the local food. We ordered a pork knuckle, Nuremberg sausages and the liver ball soup. All taste yummy!

Can't believe the high praise and marks. The food is greasy and flavorless. Service is turn and burn. Much better place around, it seems yelp isn't a very good app for Americans traveling in Europe-better to use google but this still doesn't show enough.

Best sausages we could have ever had. And the service was SO great. Servers were so friendly and helpful. Vibe was great too. Definitely want to go back next time we're in town.

Great food, great atmosphere. Very crowded but cosy. You share a table with other people. Staff is fast and friendly. A must-do as a tourist!
