Alte Küch'n & Im Keller in Nürnberg

Very tasty Schäufele and the best cellar beer in a rustic atmosphere! Highly recommended!

Cozy traditional Franconian restaurant! I had loin with pepper cream sauce and "backers" which are potato pancakes, very tasty! A little tight, but that's part of the comfort 😅

Absolutely top, great food and very friendly waiter

This is a very nice restaurant where we had a very good meal. I can recommend it with a clear conscience.

Cozy and good food. Kellerbier in real mugs.

Great location, sensational service! A special thank you to Alicia and her team

Rittermahl-toller Abend- Mega Service. Super leckeres Essen, tolles Ambiente, einfach wohlfühlen. Beste Unterhaltung durch den Chef und allerbester Service Tim und Maddin 5 Sterne ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Muss man mal gemacht haben und am besten unser alten Küche im Keller in Nürnberg.

We were in the Alte Küchn with a group of 14 people. The furnishings/decoration are special, but that's a matter of taste. I found it very quaint. We looked at the basement below, which is of course great and you really feel like you've been transported back in time. The food was okay. Nothing more, but nothing less either. We ordered across the menu. The kitchen is partly integrated into the guest room. It's nice to be able to watch. Stupid when you sit in front of it. Service constantly goes between the narrow tables, waste heat etc. Our waitress Alissa was professional and nice, but by no means hospitable. She was good at upselling (a side salad here, sauerkraut there, etc.). That makes the boss happy. However, if you didn't order anything with it, you would casually comment on it with "well, then not" and roll your eyes. The cellar beer is super tasty. Selling 3 liter columns is more suitable for Mallorca or a bowling alley. In my opinion this should be saved. At the end I told the waitress that I would like to take another bottle of the schnapps on offer. Here she was very friendly again and I was allowed to taste it for free. But then there was the issue of upselling again. Overall, you can tell that the store will be full every evening due to its location. There is no need to convince the guest to come back. I wouldn't have to go there again, but I wouldn't talk anyone out of it either. Certainly a great experience for foreign tourists.

In the hotspot of the old town of Nuremberg and still super cozy and above all the staff is outstanding. Thank you Alisia!! So accommodating and friendly!!! We'll be back!!! Thanks to the whole team!

Rustic, cozy, original, friendly, fair prices, good taste, a bit cramped but ok, good beer in a stein.

This is the best review I have ever written and there have been many... I would give 100 stars! Despite it being extremely busy, the service people were very friendly. The food was really tasty. I like all this old stuff there. The alcohol is really good too.

Unique experience. Go back to the old time in the 14 century, eat and drink like the Knights.

Quaint restaurant with great Franconian cuisine. The kitchen impresses with hearty classics. The service team gave us a perfect evening in Nuremberg. It's really fun and that's what you want as a guest. We will definitely come back and say thank you to the great team at Alte Küch’n.

Cozy and nice service. Good selection of food (including vegetarian) and drink. We were upstairs and not in the basement.

Great atmosphere in the Ritterkeller, quite rustic. Unfortunately the food was just okay. Rehschäufele was a bit dry. Apparently the Franconian Schäufele would have been the better choice. Service was nice, but unfortunately understaffed.

Delicious food in a rustic atmosphere

Quaint restaurant with very friendly service

The waiter who works there on Saturday spits on my food and hits on my girlfriend. Please terminate this employee

We were recommended to try the knight's meal and were not disappointed. Delicious welcome mead that could have been more. We made the mistake of eating too much of the bread with the sauce, and then there were 5-6 more courses. But we managed it and we were extremely full after eating. The taste was really good, but I was still missing that certain something for the 5 star. Great ambience with entertainment. You don't find it every day. Nice experience.

This place doesn't need to be advertised much anymore; On a Monday evening outside the peak season, guests almost begged for a table. We only got a seat at the bar without a reservation, which was fine for us. Great ambience, good food, not exactly cheap, but that's clear, in the middle of Nuremberg's old town. Despite the stress, the friendly and attentive waiter from Verona still had time for a quick chat and drew our attention to the beautiful restaurant in the vaulted cellar. Gladly again! (then WITH reservation)

Mega delicious food and very friendly staff. Definitely highly recommended!!!

Very tasty food in a rustic atmosphere

Great place to drink and enjoy the atmosphere, but I wouldn't go back for the food alone. For allergy sufferers, vegetarians and those who don't eat pork, there is an alternative if you have reported it in advance. Would definitely go again with my group.

Very nice, rustic place with hearty and traditional cuisine! Very nice and polite staff.

Delicious and a great atmosphere

Not only a very tasty meal, but also a great experience is offered. The employees are all very friendly and in a good mood. We had a great evening and the atmosphere is simply unique!

Simple and good food, very satisfactory service, the staff takes care to give explanations and advice. To recommend.

A quaint and very cozy place with great cuisine. Very friendly staff! Absolutely recommended!!!

We sat in the "old kitchen", i.e. upstairs. The service was very attentive, the atmosphere was “rustic” and the food (Franconian sauerbraten) was plentiful, tasty and therefore highly recommended.

Every time I come to Nuremberg it is a fixed stop because it is a very characteristic place in the basement of the old city, near the castle. A must for one of the best keller-biers in the city. Fabulous schäufele and schweinebraten and shame about the slightly grumpy waiter.

Very nicely furnished inn, with great service and a varied menu from international dishes to Franconian Schäuferle. It tasted very good! Prices okay.

Super friendly staff, good food, portions absolutely sufficient👍

Typical Bavarian brewery, everything excellent, including the beer

Very nice cellar vault! Beer is delicious, and so is the food!

Nice and typical restaurant in the heart of Nuremberg

Fantástica comida casera y nutritiva. Recomiendo reservar ya que las personas fueron rechazadas un lunes por la noche antes de las 6 pm como lleno. Elegimos comer aquí dos noches en la carrera es así de bueno.

We were there for dinner at the beginning of September, but had reserved beforehand. On the one hand, a very nice atmosphere and on the other hand, we enjoyed the food. Although we waited a few times for the follow-up drink, the lady in service was alone and really did her best. We would come back if we were in Nuremberg again.

Very nice staff, delicious food

It's not that special taste. Very ordinary. However, the service of the employees is very good. I wonder how many years it has been since I came here. It was the worst. The food tasted bad and the employees were cheap. I felt bad. Has the owner changed? I won't use it next time.

…we were served in a friendly manner. The food came super quickly even though it was busy on a public holiday. Yes, of course it's louder, but that's how it is in the basement and the atmosphere. Not a thing for us.

This is described quite simply: historical vaulted cellar with a great atmosphere. The service was completely friendly and accommodating, dressed in dirndl or lederhosen. The cuisine is very quick, super tasty and very high quality, in keeping with the overall historical impression. The prices are not too high and are certainly justified. The whole thing is not an insider tip. Just going and eating is not possible. Reservations should be made weeks in advance.... Thanks for the great evening.

Super nice and attentive service even in the most stressful times.. You feel welcome there

We were a larger group and were allowed to sit at the bottom. There was an irresistibly perverse air in the room. There's already mold growing on the wall at the back left, I don't want to know what it looks like behind the wood paneling. The toilets are at the top of the ground floor, i.e. h. everyone inevitably uses the railings with their "knight hands". I can only advise against this restaurant.

Great experience on the bar table, helpful staff with delicious traditional cuisine, better to make reservation if you really want to try here as is very popular and full

A long-established restaurant, Corresponding but nice atmosphere that invites you to stay Nice, attentive but unobtrusive staff Good Franconian food! I think a good price/performance ratio

Il locale è su due piani e sono due ristoranti differenti ma con lo stesso nome una vecchia cucina e una alta cucina. Questo solo per far capire la ns esperienza. Abbiamo prenotato due settimane prima e quando siamo arrivati nessuno aveva la ns prenotazione. Siamo stati rimbalzati e non considerati per 30 minuti , fino a quando è arrivato un altro gruppo nella stessa condizione , e ci hanno messo in un tavolo attaccato alla scale e attaccato ad un altro tavolo di persone. Io locale è molto scenografico e i piatti tipici molto buoni. Il resto è la solita inaccoglienza tedesca. Se volete dargli fastidio andate a mangiare.

The food is good and the service is a bit chaotic but committed. The location is beautiful and the cellar is an eye-catcher. However, I find it cheeky that they sell the 0.4 beer for the price of a 0.5 beer. This puts the whole restaurant in a bad light.

Very good atmosphere, food and service. As a visitor I think it was the best choice.

A very nice restaurant with very good food. The portions were very generous so I couldn't finish it. The dessert was also very tasty. The staff was very attentive, helpful and extremely polite.

Il locale ha un suo fascino particolare …il cibo è buono, anche se potrebbe essere meglio. Il servizio è molto lento e in particolare abbiamo notato delle scaramucce tra colleghi che non sono molto professionali a mio giudizio.

We felt very comfortable with you. The food in the style of the old knights was a very special highlight. So big compliments again to everyone involved in the kitchen and cellar vaults. Your great team put their hearts into it. The beer was also very tasty. We recommend you.

Unfortunately not even worth one star! Six of us gathered there for dinner on September 21st, 2024, but it turned into something of a disaster. The orders were wasted from start to finish! 1. Ordered Fanta and got bitter lemon 2. 3 tables arrived after us and received their food much earlier 3. the table next to us ordered at the same time and our food came when the others were finished 4. a simple sauce was messed up! Not well seasoned or anything 5. Schäufele suckling pig was not thoroughly cooked and with raw meat that was not even remotely edible. 6. an entire order was completely forgotten and while 5 were eating, one sat next to them and was allowed to enjoy watching 7. after the 6th meal came where 4 out of 6 were finished, the meat wasn't even close to being at the right cooking level instead of medium, it arrived at us very very bloody. Tried to do well but 8. An apple strudel was offered and a mousse au chocolat. At first it was said apple strudel but then changed again to the chocolate. 9. we got the apple strudel which was very very hot which meant you burned your face! 10. the owner's insight that they had screwed up was almost unintentional and it was said that they couldn't even accommodate us at that price because the exchange of point 5 and the attempted reparation were sufficient enough! And you couldn't do anything more. 11. The waiter was very relaxed with the wine and even gave a few customers a nightcap to say goodbye. Maybe less alcohol at work then you would get more done and maybe even do it right! Conclusion A visit to Nuremberg's old town is only worth it if you probably only visit the restaurant when there is nothing going on there so that you don't waste it! And the waiter sober. Thanks for the unrewarding experience of German cuisine

Ambience and service top. Schäufele was tough and firm. Sauce was watery, chanterelles with grilled vegetables were ok, although the vegetables were more steamed than grilled. The four people at the next table didn't seem to enjoy it either. We know that better.

We took advantage of the beautiful afternoon to go to the old town festival in Nbg. We stopped at “Alte Küchen”. I have never experienced a waitress finishing work before we had eaten, collecting everything, but promising that we would still get the food. Then two waiters ran around wildly and disoriented. When I saw that it was our food I raised my hand. Looking skeptical, he gave it to us anyway. I had a portion of radish that had no salt on it. I asked the waiter for salt. Unfortunately I had to eat my radish raw. Without salt. The sauerkraut in our second meal was only slightly lukewarm. It's a shame, we had hoped for more

September 2024 Since reviews are deleted here in order to have a good rating, it is very pathetic to delete the negative rating. Six of us gathered there to eat, but it turned into a bit of a disaster. The orders were wasted from start to finish! 1.

Speechless! We've never been treated so disrespectfully before, in a restaurant that actually seemed promising at first glance. After we politely asked for a table for two and the waitress responded to this request in a snotty and cheeky manner saying that she had said that the table was free, we sat down. Since today is Saturday, we just wanted to be sure and it's appropriate to do so before sitting down. We were presented with the card and less than 5 minutes later a group of 4 people arrived who seemed to be more interested in entertaining than us. We were then made to get up and sit on a folding table next to it, with only one chair being brought to us. We then got up and left because we won't let ourselves be treated like dirt. The tone of the service was harsh and unpleasant. If you could give 0 stars, that would be a fair rating.

Food was eaten incorrectly, one of our meals came 30 minutes later than all the others because it was forgotten. This rump steak was completely raw. Our piglet Schäufle was also raw, so we got a replacement. In total we waited 1 1/2 hours for our food. At the end you just felt uncomfortable and unfortunately you hardly gained any insight. Unfortunately no longer worth a visit!

Cellar vault very beautiful, but also very hot. Food plentiful and tasty. Staff very friendly

Finely cooked and very nicely served. Recommended.

Non-German-speaking guests, beware! Four of us ordered one pancake, one starter sausage platter, and one pork shoulder. The waitress misunderstood our order and brought us four portions of sausages instead of one (the menu stated the price per portion, but a minimum order of two portions, which was very misleading), so we were forced to buy three extra portions of sausages. Then she served us four portions of pork shoulder, even though we only ordered one. The waitress insisted that each of us had ordered a portion, rather than us sharing one among the four of us. When we ordered, we clearly stated that we wanted one portion to share among the four of us, not one portion per person. The waitress either had poor English skills, lacked common sense, or was deliberately trying to sell us more food by misunderstanding our order. If we hadn't argued, we would have been forced to pay for three extra main courses, resulting in wasted food. It was an extremely unpleasant experience. What's good，the manager is very understanding, after we complained he immediately refund us the tip and whis us for a good trip.

Das Personal war sehr freundlich, das Bier sehr Teuer mit 6,20 € für die Halbe Rippchen waren ok geht so auf dem Altstadtfest

Very good restaurant, the waiter spoke Italian, excellent service. Advised

Cozy atmosphere, very good food and you will definitely be full 😉 The drink replenishment was a bit slow and after we asked for a dessert menu we were ignored 🤷‍♂️ But we'll still be back!!

Unfortunately the restaurant did not live up to expectations. The pork loins with backers were okay in my opinion, but nothing more. Unfortunately, the service in particular was not convincing. The orders were received with a rude comment, the table next to us got a shot of schnapps “on the house” and the small tip was criticized during the payment process. Overall an unsatisfactory service.

Great Franconian restaurant, very tasty, everyone incredibly friendly. Reservation necessary, we were there on Monday evening, everything was full. Highly recommended, the Franconian starter plate, but it is a large portion

A really great restaurant with a great ambience, friendly staff and the food is amazing! There is a two-star deduction for service because when the waiter finished work and brought the interim bill, we as a group were allowed to calculate the money we each had to pay ourselves. When we worked it out, he just dutifully conceded. 👎 The next thing came straight after when we were told we had to leave straight away as our seats were reserved for other guests. But we weren't told in the reservation confirmation or directly in the restaurant that our places were limited in time, something like that just doesn't work. The whole situation was saved by asking us to go into the basement of the bar and waiting for us there with other seats and a compensatory liqueur. All in all, a great day/evening in a highly recommended restaurant! The service was also top, except for two things that hopefully won't be repeated.

narrow menu and unfortunately no carp, but what is on offer is top. The espresso from the fully automatic machine is a bit thin. Service is top! Prices for the location are okay

We were there with a group of 20. The atmosphere is rustic. The service is probably more than usual for large groups and cheerful guests, but still: respect for the calmness and friendly service. The food leaves nothing to be desired, even vegetarians will find what they are looking for. We'll be back, even if only in two years, thank you very much!

You will only be served if you ask. Ate veal Viennese schnitzel. It was definitely one of the worst schnitzels I've ever eaten. Breading burnt, meat far dry. Probably a frozen convenience product in a pan that was too hot. Not so great.

A medieval inn with a friendly and relaxing atmosphere, beautiful keller, kind and friendly staff.

Very nice food and a cosy place!

Old style restaurant in the altstadt of Nurnburg. Amazing variety of food including local sussages. Great service!

Sehr gutes Essen wenn man die typische Nürnberger Küche mag und sucht. Lokal ist sehr klein, deshalb unbedingt einen Tisch reservieren. Für Kinder, die nicht gerne deftig essen, wird es schwierig auf der Karte etwas zu finden, aber machbar. Eher hochpreisig, aber dafür toller Service und gute Qualität.

It was our first time there and we thought it was one of the best evenings we've had in a long time. The staff, Brother Martin and Brother Stefan, are unbeatably great waiters, will try EVERYTHING to accommodate your wishes, are always very nice and always have a stupid saying on their lips. The musical accompaniment by the bard was the icing on the cake, he could sing very well and entertain wonderfully. Food, staff, price performance simply top top top. It wasn't the last time we were there! Thank you for your great work!!!

We ate Franconian Baggers (with grilled sausages) and Nuremberg sausages, we were very satisfied! The next evening we appreciated Alte Küch'n's food even more when we went to a more "touristy" restaurant (where the food was "just good").

This restaurant is sensational. Food (suckling pig scoop) perfect. Price - performance, top. Service very friendly and quick. Thank you for this great evening

Fresh beer, nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Advised.

You can hardly beat the price/performance ratio. Super. Please keep it up. Our meal was perfect. The beer cold and fast.

The service was very very good. The food was very tasty on the first day, there was steak on the second day, a Schäuferl as a dessert, apple fritters, all recommended. The waitresses, two nice girls, took good care of our physical well-being. Everyone see for yourself.

A really cosy and warm place! Everything is the theme of German cuisine. We went there without reservation, but i recommend a reservation because it was very busy. Compliments to the two (!) ladies who served everyone! We had a great time! The steak was a bit overcooked, but still delicious. Overall, the experience was good and we definitely recommend this restaurant!

We ended up at this restaurant because of its beautiful location. It has a lot of atmosphere. We chose to only have a main course and both had a Hugo Spritz. When taking our order, the waitress was quite dismissive and curt when we tried to order in our best German. But hey, sometimes you can't have your day. After all, it was quite busy and the waitress was almost alone. The main courses were on the table within two seconds, it was probably already waiting for us eagerly in advance, but the speed of the order can hardly be called a negative. The food was also fine. After another somewhat awkward encounter with the waitress when she collected our plates, the long wait began. No question was asked if we wanted dessert and attempts to signal the waitress to pay the bill came to nothing. Then go to the bar yourself to pay. It was now at least 20 minutes later. Finally the waitress noticed us and gave us the receipt to check the bill. Before she entered the amount, she made it clear to us in both German and English in a very unfriendly tone that the service was not included in the price and that we could also leave a tip if we paid by card. Due to the unfriendly attitude earlier in the evening and the downright rude way in which she now forced us to tip, we did not accept this. At that moment the atmosphere became completely grim and she turned away from us (so we couldn't see her name tag?) and angrily and mumbling some swear words, typed the original amount into the payment machine. I've never experienced anything like this before. I almost always tip, but if the service is so rude and a tip is demanded in this way, the only certainty is that I will look a bit further next time.

Very friendly service and delicious food. Despite the full restaurant, special requests were also fulfilled. Top!

Not the best nor the worst German restaurant I’ve eaten in. Food was just OKAY, white wine was nice

Great German food with high quality. Place also has agreat atmosphere with friendly staff

Very good Franconian cuisine. Unreservedly recommended. My thanks to the service. Very good job. It doesn't happen that often these days. Thank you very much for allowing my wife and I to be your guests. Unreservedly recommended.

Very tasty German cuisine, with surroundings. I would give Kellerbier beer 10 stars

On July 27th, 2024 I had dinner with a friend in your restaurant, but I received an incorrect bill. We ordered 6 Nuremberg bratwursts, a pork knuckle, a Kellerbier on tap and a Pilsner on tap, but the bill shows something completely different. Since I was a little drunk, I didn't check the bill properly. On July 28, 2024 at 11 a.m. I went to your restaurant. The woman with blonde hair was very rude. She didn't want to help me and screamed. She gave me 6 business cards from the restaurant and said that I have to come on July 29th or call the restaurant. Since I had to go to Munich on July 29th and I'm traveling at the moment, I couldn't come by or call.

Spectacular food. Waiter treatment of 10!! He speaks Spanish very well and gives great advice.

My favorite restaurant in Nürnberg.

You can enjoy traditional German cuisine and beer in pretty mugs in a local atmosphere. The meat is very tender, not salty enough to be boring, and light. Advance reservation is required

Great food, attentive staff We're here for the second time.

Always worth a visit. The burggeist is also delicious. Food was better. Annoying conversations from the kitchen through the shop

Were there as a group, the food is good and recommended

Everything was fine! I recommend it to everyone who goes to Nuremberg! A huge storm was brewing and we didn't intend to eat, just drink a beer. We also sat outside so that there was room for the dinner guests. A nice tall, smiling, attentive waitress brought out the two beers. After a few minutes, the gentleman at the counter, who was also nice, came to do it for us inside instead! Let's go in!😍 I'll add that we didn't ask for it!!👏🏼 Of course, after all that, it's a good thing that we asked for a menu! We did it right! Everything was perfect. Congratulations to the team!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼🍻🍻 Such good hospitality!!! 👍🏼👏🏼😍🍻

Super easy. I can only encourage everyone to go there.

Very good food, friendly service

Booked a knight's meal. A great experience. Food very tasty. Good beer. Worth a visit.

Very good traditional German food. Sit inside if you don’t want to sit with smokers.

We actually wanted to escape from a thunderstorm and literally stumbled into the basement. Super nice service, who immediately took care of our physical well-being, even without a reservation. Food was really excellent, the Kellerbier is recommended, really tasty! The whole atmosphere was harmonious, I can only recommend it!

Were at the knight's dinner. The food was delicious, it was more than enough. Service was really great, the waitress was very quick. The music and the ambience are also very cozy and drinkable. However, it is very expensive for what is offered.
