Restaurant Burgwächter

We had a wonderful experience at Burgwächter Restaurant and thoroughly enjoyed the traditional German cuisine. Everything we tried tasted great and felt authentic. The service was top-notch—friendly, attentive, and efficient—and the atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it a very pleasant place to dine. The kids’ schnitzel was impressively large, perfectly cooked, and wonderfully juicy. The Nürnberger sausages were very tasty and full of flavor, exactly what you hope for in Nürnberg. The Käsespätzle was rich and delicious, a real comfort dish. To finish, the Kaiserschmarrn was pillowy soft and absolutely delightful. Overall, Burgwächter is a great choice for anyone looking to enjoy excellent traditional German food in a nice setting with outstanding service. Highly recommended.

Food was a complete surprise! Best crispy pork i've tried in Nurnberg. The place can get busy in during december season due to visitors, but service was fantastic.

A very good restaurant in the centre of Nuremberg. I liked that it was quiet but I think it can get very busy. I felt cosy there, a really good place to get your buddies out for a drink or for food. We got the Nuremberg sausages with potato salad, and also a portion of Cheese Spätzle. Very good. Just a bit salt for my buds, as I don't add it anymore to food, but I would say a well balanced value price. And the staff was very friendly. Thank you!

Really nice cosy restaurant at the entrance of the castle

My visit wasn't planned. I was at the castle and happened to come across this restaurant. Since I hadn’t had breakfast, I decided to have lunch here. The food was amazing – the crispy skin and tender meat were perfectly cooked, making it a truly satisfying meal. The portion was huge though,that I couldn't finish it.

Very good comfort classic German food. Price is ok, service is fast :)

The sausages are very good. Our waiter was very accommodating and friendly. The location is terrific, just below the castle.

Came across through google reviews and loved it. Great food and beers! The staff are super friendly and they spoke English fantastically, which helps a non German speaker like myself. Plus it is such a lovely spot to eat

This place is an interesting Inn offering many goodies of the Nürnberger/Nuremberg Cuisine and it's easy to reach since the Burgwächter is located right in the center of Old Town Nuremberg on the way uphill the famous castle. The staff is friendly and if the weather is pleasant you can sit outside in the patio, in an arbor surrounded and even roofed by green, where you can enjoy your meal as we did. We had two portions of the famous Nürnberger Rostbratwurst in a roll with mustard together with a local beer. This dish is delicious and super famous and one of the reasons Nuremberg is known for all over Germany, Austria and Switzerland and beyond. Oh, and by the way just in case you don't know it so far, if you are in Nuremberg or in other parts of Franconia don't dare to remind the locals that they are politically a part of Bavaria, since you have to know that the Bavarians and the Franconians are the decendents of different tribes and so many of the Franconians still consider the Bavarians in the south as a sort of occupying power. Anyway, just keep history in mind and its still existing impact on today. From Nuremberg with love! Dr. Dr. Immanuel Fruhmann

This is the cutest and most quaint place in all of Nuremburg! There isn't much seating but the seating they do have is surrounded by vines and flowers, a view of the city or the Castle. Since I don't love German cuisine I got a salad and the raspberry dessert. Both were lovely as I could tell the dressing was handmade and the dessert was perfectly sweet. Loved coming here and would come again. Just know, it's a little pricey as I paid 11 euro for a salad.

The place was fine. The prices were a bit higher than just down the street, which is to be expected given its location. BUT, DO NOT ORDER WATER! They charge 2.50 Euros for TAP WATER! We ordered without realizing it, and we were told that they filter their water. Cool story. How about warning us that you charge? After all, I had a nalgene of water right there in front of me.

Bad food, high priced. Waiter asked why we don't want to have a second beer within 15min.

Great spot to stop and have some pretzels and beer. We only ordered the pomme frites and pretzels. They have a good beer selection and the place has a ton of character. The staff was friendly and the hot chocolate was good. Sorry we didn't try any of the entree

After the climb to the entrance of Kaiserberg, kids decided the were starving. Many restaurants keep dinner hours, so weren't sure if they were open. (Tip) Alot of outdoor menus do not reflect restaurant hours. Pretzels are served as appetizers for €1.20. Who can resist. Familiar with European customs, it's been intresting showing my children that free is not a word used often on the continent :). They speak English here and are very helpful and accommodating. Highly recommend the Nurn-burger. I had the Curry wurst and 2 Dunkels. Would def come back for the atmosphere alone.

Another great random find, nestled in the shadow of Nürnberg castle. Even though the tables on their nice outdoor patio were marked "reserved" the waitress seated us there immediately, which was really nice on a very pleasant late summer evening. They brought out a basket of pretzels - which I think might have been sitting out for a little while, as they were quite stale. Would probably have been good fresh, but honestly a little hard to tell. I ordered currywurst for me entree, and my coworker a sort of pork shoulder dish. He asked for recommendations from the waitress, who kind of wavered between two options, but I think the pork shoulder was the best choice - he certainly didn't leave any behind. As for my currywurst, it was pretty awesome. Really good sausage, smothered in that kind of sweet stereotypical curry sauce (which I love, don't get me wrong), sprinkled with french fried onions and served with kartoffelecke that were well seasoned with a nice crisp fried outside. Suffice to say that I ate all of it. I also ordered a side of spätzle but was a little disappointed there. There were some of the kind of irreglar blobby pieces that i associate with spätzle, but most of it almost looked like cut up noodles, a little larger in cross section than spaghetti. It tasted fine, but didn't have quite the right consistency for me. It was a huge side order though, be warned. Waitress was very friendly and helpful, and the price was stupidly reasonable - entrees + side + a pretzel or two and a beer was something like 34 Euro. Just seemed incredibly inexpensive given that it was in maybe a little bit of a touristy location. Maybe I'm assuming all of continental Europe is like Scandinavia, and I am apparently wrong.

Not the best service or food here. I give it 3 stars for the beer selection. It's the first place before the Nurnberg Castle so we needed a quick drink. Nothing fancy about this place. Prices are reasonable and they have a beer takeaway menu.
