Biergarten & Restaurant Altenburg in Bamberg

We were absolutely thrilled! The restaurant boasts a wonderful atmosphere, super friendly staff, and, above all, delicious cuisine. The food was fresh, regional, and prepared with love. The beer garden invites you to linger, and you immediately notice that the place has a lot of heart and soul. The service was also top-notch – attentive, quick, and very personable.

Beautiful beer garden in old walls. The Schäufele was good and the view was beautiful. Unfortunately self-service, but it was the start of the season. Maybe there's something else to come.

The food was very good, service very fast, and the ambiance was rustic...a castle feel. But unfortunately, the billing was chaotic at the end, and of course, due to the chaos with the billing, some items remained unpaid that were simply booked to the wrong tables. So, the end of the visit wasn't a highlight. You still need to work on that and train your staff. Otherwise, it was a great evening 👍 With 33 people and a turnover of €40 per person.

Fast and friendly service, and the shoulder of pork and bratwurst were excellent. The ambiance in the historic setting was outstanding.

Cake was delicious, but the service person at the window worked in slow motion and miscalculated both the people in front of us and the people after us. In addition, half of our order was forgotten and we had to ask twice until we finally had everything.

After a hike, we stopped here for a drink with a stunning view. The food was good, the people were friendly, and the atmosphere was great. Hot meals are only served indoors; there's also a beer garden in the castle courtyard for cakes and drinks.

After climbing the keep we stopped at the restaurant. There is a large selection of schnitzel here, and we all had very good food.

We really wanted to try out the restaurant with the new landlord and had a thoroughly enjoyable evening! The food was fantastic: We had schnitzel, cheese spaetzle and the vegan currywurst - everything was cooked to perfection and tasted great. Particularly positive: The vegan dish was also super tasty and lovingly prepared. The crowning finale was apple fritters and a chocolate soufflé – both simply heavenly! The ambience is very nice, cozy and fits perfectly with the historic flair of the Altenburg. The service was also super friendly and attentive. Conclusion: We will definitely come back at any time and can absolutely recommend the restaurant!

On my trip to Altenburg Castle, I spontaneously stopped by the newly opened restaurant and didn't regret it. The food was truly excellent. They also offer homemade cakes. The staff was very friendly. I highly recommend the restaurant.

Very good food, very friendly staff, very clean, very pleasant atmosphere. Five stars from me too. 😁👍

Very friendly service and very good food. It's rare to get such good liver (tender as butter, hardly anyone can get it) and homemade puree (no bag stuff). 5 people, 4 different dishes and everyone was very satisfied. Good price-performance ratio. I would be happy to recommend it. 🤤👍👍

Absolute must if you are in Bamberg.

We went to Altenburg Castle for dinner this evening. We were warmly welcomed by the operator of the restaurant and we can only warmly recommend the atmosphere and the operators of the restaurant. Great food, nice service, pleasant atmosphere in a location adapted to the times, we had a great time. Absolutely recommended without reservation. Great...thank you for the great time with you. Kind regards Willy and Renate

The restaurant is beautifully and rustically furnished - the service is very friendly and the food is delicious, good Franconian cuisine! The short climb is definitely worth the visit and the beautiful view!

Great place with loving staff and good food - would be happy to come again at any time ☺️

The new operating family at Altenburg 1 convinced us! The very tender goulash was accompanied by a delicious homemade salad and tasted great. Currywurst was also very good, the fries were crispy and the portion was large. Service friendly and super fast. All in all the A1 is "1A" ;-)

Compared to the previous tenant, the food has improved significantly. It's relatively busy at weekends so it's best to reserve a table to ensure you don't have to wait

Given the location of the restaurant in the middle of the Altenburg, the owners could have afforded to set up a tourist trap. They don't have to put in the effort to have a successful restaurant, but they do! The food tastes wonderful, the service is quick and very friendly. There are also very solid vegetarian options for a Franconian restaurant. Small and cute atmosphere with a castle dog :) Super!

I went to the Altenburg 1 Restaurant with my girlfriend today and we had a really great evening! I had the beef goulash with spaetzle and it was excellent - the sauce in particular was incredibly tasty and the meat was wonderfully tender. My friend had the pike perch fillet, which was also excellent. The service was great and the hosts were incredibly friendly, so we immediately felt at home. The furnishings are cozy and the atmosphere invites you to linger. The crowning finale was chocolate soufflé and apple fritters with ice cream – both delicious! Overall, a thoroughly successful visit – we would love to come back!

Great ambience, extremely tender goulash, friendly staff, I've already paid significantly more for worse food

Food was fantastic, friendly staff You're welcome again, you're great

We can't judge the food because there was no more food after 2 p.m., even though according to the internet the kitchen is open until 2:30 p.m. Still we queued for 20 minutes for a few drinks. The ambience and the view are great.

Long waiting time just for drinks

Very good “Franconian food”. Nice staff who look after the guests and get all the things out of the way that get in the way of a pleasant lunch. Particularly worth mentioning is the delicious schnitzel that tastes like it comes from an organic butcher! We will come back 😊

The Altenburg in Bamberg is a real highlight for visitors to the city. It is located at the highest point in the city and offers a breathtaking all-round view. The view to the east, where the Jura mountain range extends, is particularly impressive. The castle tower, at 33 meters high, is a striking landmark and contributes to the impressive silhouette of the castle. Anyone who climbs the tower will be rewarded with an even better view. However, you should be prepared for a somewhat strenuous climb if you go to the castle from the parking lot. The path is steep, but definitely worth the effort. Overall, the Altenburg is a worthwhile excursion destination for anyone who appreciates history, architecture and beautiful views.

Absolute recommendation! Re-opening April 2025: Best Sauerbraten that I have eaten so far (as a Sauerbraten fan): super tender meat, perfect sauce, perfect dumpling and homemade red cabbage. And today I tried the roulade. Absolutely awesome!

Great food, nice service. Highly recommended, dogs welcome too. Definitely coming back.

We had a lovely and relaxing evening here. Rustic atmosphere. Very nice atmosphere. Food and service top Wish the new tenant all the best for the future. Please continue like this. We'd love to come back

Good food, nice staff. Great ambience. Absolutely clear recommendation!

Food great craftsmanship, Robin the boss very friendly and competent, complete package just fits……highly recommended!

Great food and very welcoming staff. Absolutely recommended! We'll definitely be back!

Great food, very nice service. Definitely recommended! 👍🏼

I am extremely positively surprised by this quaint restaurant! I am originally from Bamberg and the food and service are unbelievable! Super tasty and generous portions! There are some Bamberg restaurants in the tourist spots that you can take a look at! And the view ❤️

Simply a dream. It's so comfortable to stay there. The food is great and good Bamberg beer is also a pleasure. Top.

The castle is a recommendation to linger after the climb. The restaurant offers tasty meals and homemade cakes. When the sun is shining, you can sit outside in the beer garden and the view is magnificent.

This restaurant is simply a dream! Fantastic food, top service and an unbeatable atmosphere. You feel at home as soon as you arrive - the team is warm, attentive and lightning fast, hospitality is very important here. And the food? A clear 10/10!👌 Perfectly prepared Franconian delicacies, regional ingredients and a taste experience that you won't quickly forget. There are also the best beers from the area – simply the perfect combination! Whether for a relaxed meal, a special occasion or simply because you want to treat yourself - everyone gets their money's worth here. Absolute recommendation! I will definitely come more often.👍☺️

Beautiful castle with the best view and finally with a newly opened castle tavern. From the freshly prepared food to the home-baked cake, everything was very tasty. Absolute recommendation 👌🏻 The cappuccino/latte/latte macchiato is a dream. A MUST for every coffee lover. Super delicious. After this great opening, the great, well-positioned, very friendly A1 team wishes you continued success and fun with the really good work you are doing!! Here the heart still works with ❤️ See you soon

Great food in beautiful surroundings. Always worth a visit, high above Bamberg in the beautiful Altenburg. We'll be back

The new owners are super nice and the food is SOOOOO DELICIOUS!!!!!😍🔥

The parents do an absolutely great job in the kitchen, which is reflected in the food. The service, with its politeness, flexibility and speed, is also fantastic. But see for yourself. At least thumbs up from me 👍🏽

Today, after my training with my dog ​​school, I had one meal after the reopening. And we were thrilled, everything was absolutely delicious, very friendly operators. And even though we were there today without our dogs. We now know that our four-legged friends are also welcome there. We'll definitely be back, that's for sure. There was a small mishap with our order, but the way it was handled is worth more than 5 stars. Keep it up and see you soon, greetings Petra + Django

The best impression right from the opening: food and service great - staff super friendly - it's worth the trip even from Coburg Keep it up and good luck Roland and Manuela from Coburg

Were not served. Left again after 30 minutes.

Today the new tenants opened their restaurant with Franconian cuisine on the Altenburg. I was there straight for lunch and it was simply outstanding, my pike perch fillet with rosemary potatoes and vegetables was on point and all around a very tasty dish. The service was quick but not hectic, friendly but not fake. I will definitely come more often and feast on the culinary diversity of the upscale Franconian cuisine. I am very satisfied 5 stars in every respect.

Food fabulous. Ambience great. The view is indescribable. Service excellent. Thanks for the nice day.

Is the service very spotty due to a lack of alternatives?

Sehr gutes Restaurant. Kinderfreundlich. Wir haben es seit unserer Hochzeit 2008 immer wieder gerne besucht. Es war gestern ein schöner, wenn auch leicht trauriger Abschied.

Excellent cuisine, a real insider tip, the restaurant in the Altenburg, we ate very, very well, my pike-perch fillet with herb crust and beetroot was exquisite! The saddle of lamb was fried to perfection, the desserts were very attractively decorated and had excellent taste. Be sure to try it while you can!

Quaint restaurant in the Altenburg premises, excellent food, service very friendly and professional, absolutely recommended!

Were only there for coffee. It's all ok. Ambience very nice, but just a beer garden

Very nicely located. Nice atmosphere.

Höchster Biergarten Bambergs. Der Getränkeschalter braucht Geduld.

Jedes Mal wenn wir (im Rahmen unseres Bayern-Urlaubs) in Bamberg sind, gehört der Gang vom Dom zur Altenburg dazu. Bisschen anstrengend der Fußweg aber als Normalo in ca. 45 Minuten machbar. Toller Ausblick, schöne Burg, kostenlos zu besuchen. Bequeme können auch direkt ober frei parken. Man kann dort zu vernünftigen Preisen essen und trinken und den Ausblick dazu genießen. Wetter muss natürlich passen. Der Rückweg ist dann natürlich super entspannt

Leider eine lange Schlange, nur um ein Bier zu bekommen.

Süffiges Bier und dazu gibt's einen großartigen Blick über Bamberg

Sehr leckeres Essen! Freundliches Personal

Very nice and spacious. A lot of water bowls for dogs as well. On top of that there is a really lovely view. Although there was no cake and no orange limonade.

Super Panoramablick über Bamberg👌

Ein herrlicher Ort mit hervorragender Gastronomie 💥💥 hat eigentlich 10 Sterne verdient 🍀

Super gute und reichhaltige Brotzeit, Preise super!

Schönster Biergarten, den ich kenne mit genialster Aussicht!

Отличный ресторан в старой крепости Бамберга. Прекрасное обслуживание и умеренные цены. Вкуснейшее пиво.

Obwohl wir nicht reserviert hatten, konnten wir zur Mittagszeit einen Tisch ergattern. Kaum hatten wir bestellt, schon wurde unsere Bestellung geliefert! Das Essen war lecker und alles in einem stimmigen Ambiente...

Sehr schöne Anlage, super Aussicht, toller Turm.

Haben nur was getrunken, sehr schöne Burg, tolles Ambiente, mega Aussicht, sehr gute Bewirtung. Top-Adresse für Wanderer rund um Bamberg!!

Der Weg hier hoch lohnt sich hundertprozentig!!!! Es war ein Highlight unserer Fahrradtour!

Es gab Essen und Trinken als Selbstbedienung. Das haben wir nicht genutzt, da wir lediglich die Burg angesehen haben.

Feines Essen und Trinken mit netten Service.

차 타고 가면 모르겠지만, 뙤약볕에 굳이 걸어서 올라간다면 꼭 여기서 사먹을만함.

👍absolute Burgromantik 👍Sehenswürdigkeiten und sehenswert 👍toller Ausblick 👍freundliches Personal in der Gastronomie 👍super schöne und professionelle Burgführung Klare Empfehlung ! Rezensionen gelesen❓ Bitte um Bewertung🙏, diese habe ich FÜR SIE geschrieben!

A perfect experience after a hike up to the castle fortress (Burg). Excellent food and great beer (with a wide variety), and a super-friendly staff! We could have stayed for hours and wish we could go again!

ich habe hier noch nie gegessen und bin hier gekommen, als es zu war

Faire Preise, Essen geht schnell, sogar mit vegetarischen und begaben Alternativen! Sehr lecker!

Gute Essens und Vesperauswahl, leider nicht nur regionale Biere.

der koch bzw. inhaber sollte sich schämen so ein essen zu verkaufen. hatte schnitzel mit pommes. das schnitzel war nicht selbst zubereitet, sondern tiefkühl essen das einfach in der friteuse zubereitet wurde. das ist schon unverschämt sondergleichen so etwas in einem biergarten zu servieren. dazu kommt das dass TK schnitzel von der qualität und geschmack sowas von schlecht geschmeckt hat das jedes TK schnitzel vom discounter besser ist. fleisch war sehr zäh und geschmacklos, man hat nur fritieröl geschmeckt. so etwas habe ich bis jetzt in noch keinem biergarten erlebt. null sterne von mir.

Man freut sich auf eine warme Stube und gutes Essen. Doch wir wurden enttäuscht. Die Räumlichkeiten waren nicht warm und das Essen war teilweise nur aufgewärmt. Der Kloß war hart, die Gänsebrust ebenso, das Blaukraut war gut.

Tolles Essen - sehr nette zuvorkommende Mitarbeiter. Fühlten uns wunderbar umsorgt und gut aufgehoben. Danke für das spontane Geburtstagsküchlein! Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Hoch über den Dächern Bambergs findet sich die wunderschöne Altenburg. Tolle wieder aufgebaute Burganlage mit Biergarten im Innenhof. Die Kulisse des Biergartens ist durch das Gemäuer und die Aussicht - über Bamberg und teilweise darüber hinaus - einzigartig und ein Erlebnis. Kulinarisch auf einem bemüht gutbürgerlichen Fritteusen-Niveau; Preise sicherlich auch der Aussicht geschuldet. Die Einhaltung der Corona-Maßnahmen wird strikt und konsequent eingehalten - sehr erfreulich und da nimmt man als Kunde auch den vermutlich der ambitionierten Kontrolle geschuldeten Ton in Kauf. Sofern man als Tagestourist also entweder mit dem Auto oder der Hügelbahn oder zu Fuß die Altenburg besucht könnte eine Einkehr Sinn machen. Problematisch wird die Sache als Radfahrer - adäquate Stellplätze sucht man lange und falls das Rad inadäquat steht kann es schon passieren dass man aufgefordert wird dieses unverzüglich zu entfernen. Kurz das Bier austrinken ist da nicht. Eventuell wären hier noch mehr Schilder (wie das zweisprachige gleich am Eingang das zum Absteigen vom Rad auffordert) angebracht. Und nein, das Rad stand weder in der Küche noch vor einem Rettungsweg ;)
