Hotel Burg Gartenpalais

We are staying at the hotel, as well, which is lovely. Decided to eat at the restaurant as it was dinner time when we arrived. I’m glad that we did. The food was excellent. The service and atmosphere was also excellent. I highly recommend.

This restaurant is an extension of the Burg Hotel, just across the street. We arrived in the evening and was given a recommendation to the restaurant by the elderly gentleman who mans the reception desk. So we went. I thought we were getting an ordinary...garden salad with fried mushrooms on top, but once I started serving portions for my husband and myself, I noticed that at the bottom of the bowl were shredded carrots. Interesting, okay, I thought. Then towards the bottom middle, we had shredded white vegetables. Even more interesting. Then towards the other side on the bottom were shredded purple cabbage. All these shredded vegetables underneath our salad were mildly seasoned and worked to make the salad so very tasty. My pork schnitzel was the best I’ve had in Germany and actually, it was the best dinner I’ve had in Germany. The schnitzel was tender and juicy with a crispy exterior, all covered in a mushroom sauce. I had apple fritters with ice cream for dessert and I am so glad I decided not to share. So delicious, the contrasting of hot deep fried fritter with the cold scoop of vanilla ice cream, topped with whipped cream. So decadent and delicious, but I’m on vacation! The staff were efficient and very welcoming, which rounded out a perfect meal. What a wonderfully lucky find.

If you are staying in Rothenburg for the holiday's (i.e Christmas) I would highly recommend emailing the hotel/restaurant and making a reservation. My friend and I went there for Christmas Eve and enjoyed a delicious set menu and piano concert. There is a cute little...garden out front that was so fun to see decorated for Christmas. We stayed at the Burg Hotel and it was great being so close to the restaurant.

We had a nice time at this restaurant. Good food and good prices. We recommend it for special occasions.

Slightly away from the tourist masses in the central part of town, this delightful, quiet hotel with garden terrace restaurant at the rear is where we had lunch and a beer. A gem, especially when you feel the need to escape from the mass tourism...that dominates Rothenburg. Welcoming and friendly young wait staff, delicious meal.
