Barfusser - Nürnberg

We were looking for a place to eat before departing for Vienna. Chanced upon Barfuesser and decided to give it a go. I had a schnitzel which was not quite what I was expecting as it wasn't breaded and fried, but was just doused with some sauce. My husband had some Nuremberg mini sausages. We also sampled the house brews. Visited the loo before we left and I was surprised that the restaurant extended such a long way - it was massive and the beer tanks of the brewery were visible. Very impressive and looks like a nice ambience (was empty at that time of day in the late afternoon). When we got the bill, the waiter pointed out that we had been charged the wrong amount for the beer, as we ordered small beers rather than large. There was also a fee which I queried him about and he said it was a tax/ charge. Decided not to leave a tip in that case!

This restaurant is located in the Mautkeller (the basement of the Mauthalle\old Customs House). It has a fitting medieval feel to it, having originally been built between 1498 and 1502. The building was bombed in 1943, but repaired/rebuilt about 9-10 years later, and offers a typical menu of German food and locally-brewed beer.

It is a huge place with outside and inside tables where you can find typical Bavarian dishes. Although it can be viewed in a way as a place for tourist (position, type of served dishes, size of the place, opening times,) the presence of local customers is still numerous and the quality of the served products is absolutely good. got two portions of pork shoulder with sour wort and two very good white wines. the cost kept in limits and the service was fast and accommodating: we come back!

We spent our first night in nürnberg in this restaurant. the waiters immediately looked very distracted: even when we said we wanted to eat there, no one told us at which table we should sit, and we waited long for the menu ... apart from this first problem, the prices in the middle and country-typical feed as we wanted. we ordered two different dishes and I was very careful to choose one where no gluten was present. when the worm arrived, my chicken breast was completely panned and therefore unfit for me! I had only eaten the potato salad from both, because I would not know what else I could have eaten... then it started to rain and the outside screens were no longer quite functional, as I got wet all the way back... I'm sorry to give only two out of five points, even because the potato salad was really good and even my friend said he had eaten very well

It is certainly not a place to remember because of the specificity of the dishes, but it is a beautiful, typical place with a large open area. the typical sausages of the city are excellent. very good beer. a stopover in this magnificent city is everything they need.
