Bürgerreuth in Bayreuth

I used to really enjoy Bürgerreuth. The beer garden is really nice and shady, perfect for hot days. The food is a bit expensive, but you know that beforehand. The service has deteriorated, though. At 35-degree weather, other restaurants ask you if your dog needs water, but not here. (I was actually quite glad about that, looking at the photo.) And they didn't ask you if everything was okay or if you needed anything else until afterward. Hmm, a bit of a shame. P.S. The restaurant was practically empty.

The food was delicious, the garden was wonderful to sit in, and it was the perfect way to end the day after visiting the Bayreuth Wagner Festival (just a few steps away).

Always a delight. The "Bürgerreuth" restaurant is as much a part of my visit as my visit to the Wagner Festival. The staff is always friendly, never rushed, and the food is consistently perfect – grilled dishes with roasted aromas that you couldn't wish for better. A pleasant ambiance where you can't help but feel at home – especially in the cozy outdoor dining area. Wagnerians and artists are always happy to be guests here during the festival season.

A beautiful, quiet location on the hillside behind the Festspielhaus. We always receive good and prompt service, and the staff is prepared to promptly serve festival guests who are short on time. I recently had an excellent carpaccio for €20. Even when there are lots of guests, it remains airy and not too noisy.

Very nice location. Beautifully decorated restaurant with a large outdoor area. The food, especially the pasta and pizza, was absolutely delicious. And the very friendly and attentive staff rounded off a lovely evening! Thank you very much. E.S.

Super close to the Festspielhaus, fair prices, fast service, and excellent pizza! The terrace is also a dream under ancient plane trees.

In a beautiful setting, you can expect high-quality food. Very friendly staff, and you'll be pampered from start to finish. Thank you very much, and keep up the great work.

The food was excellent and truly worth the price. The service was very attentive and had excellent manners and a good sense of humor. All in all, the stay and dinner at the restaurant were truly wonderful.

Three of us, plus our child, dined at the restaurant. The ambiance is lovely, the child loved the playground, Mauricio and his team looked after us very well, and the food was excellent. What more could you want?! I highly recommend it.

As a romantic restaurant, definitely.

Here, the service isn't slow, it's absent. We came for dinner, but ended up fasting. Invisible waiters and imaginary dishes. We tasted the wait, and it was bitter. We left; you never came.

Service of an almost biblical slowness, 1 day to create each meal and a day of rest before disappearing and never intervening again.

If you enjoy long evenings, you'll be served... or maybe never. We arrived full of enthusiasm and left full of frustration... more than two hours of waiting for a bland meal. Between each course, 30 minutes of interstellar emptiness... we had time to digest... our dissatisfaction. Service was absent. And/or bad, the choice is yours. An experience as indigestible as the food.

Very nice location. It's a shame that the service is very slow.

Absolutely appalling service, insanely slow. Over two hours of waiting.

Honestly, whoever is served first is lucky because the waiting time is similar to waiting for a divine response. I waited more than 2 hours to be served and a colleague even got a tick! Really deplorable!

Very tasty pizza 😋 and friendly service.

Great atmosphere and excellent food. The owner and staff are lovely.

The food is always delicious, with excellent and friendly service. The prices are absolutely reasonable for the quality delivered.

Used to be good. Value for money used to be okay. Don't eat T-bone steak... was disappointed 😞. Unfortunately, things have gone downhill.

I highly recommend it; it's very tasty. Fast and good service.

Outdoor area 3/5 Food 3/5 Service 1/5 Price 1/5 The waiter was unintelligible and came every half hour. The food was lukewarm and way too spicy, and he shouted at us across the garden, asking if we wanted dessert. We only had to wait 35 minutes for the bill.

We were at the Bürgerreuth for my sister's wedding. The restaurant is really great, with great food and prompt service. And the proximity to the Festspielhaus is probably really good when the festival is on. The rooms are, well, dated. They're practical, and if you're just sleeping there, they're fine for one night. The biggest problem with the rooms is that they're very thin, and you can hear everything that's being said or happening in the other guests' rooms next door. The breakfast was okay, nothing special or particularly good, just a basic breakfast.

Whenever we head to Bayreuth, we look forward to delicious homemade Italian cuisine. Whether it's an appetizer, main course, or dessert. Always delicious, prepared with love, and served with humor and joy ❤️

Great location, ideal for a stop after a bike ride. The location is stunning, with its summer garden and the view from the festival hill simply breathtaking! I ordered a Tagliata alla rucola for lunch and I was very satisfied. The quality and cooking of the raw material exceeded my expectations. Highly recommended 👍

This area is beautiful, I can only recommend it 🤗

Good Italian cuisine, cheerful and competent service

Small portions at a higher price

👍👍👍 Really nice terrace. Great food. Friendly service.

Delicious food, cozy atmosphere, and a lovely garden. We come here often; the pizzas, steaks, and pasta are always delicious, and the desserts are also highly recommended.

Super delicious food, great service. We've eaten here several times; the garden is very cozy and beautiful. Everything inside is also very high-quality and beautifully decorated.

We always love coming to Bürgerreuth. It's especially great that they offer vegan dishes, so there's something for everyone. The waiters are all very friendly, and you always feel very comfortable :-)

Great food and very friendly service. We'd gladly go again.

Fantastic location, delicious food and a great beer garden. Hotspot, therefore a lot of spontaneous traffic until the early evening, but still recommended.

The restaurant has a wonderful ambiance, and the food is simply amazing. The sunset view is especially incredible. I can only give it 5 stars!!!

We've been there a few times now. The food is delicious and the view of the sunset is amazing!

Very good pizza and nice service. In the garden with a beautiful view. Absolutely recommended 👌

My wife and I visit this restaurant every time we visit Bayreuth. Fresh ingredients, excellent food preparation, a selection of truly excellent wines, and friendly service characterize this restaurant, which we find exemplary. The high prices are always well worth the price.

Went there again after 15 years. The furnishings were the same as back then, now very dated, the service friendly. It calls itself a "steakhouse," but in the days of Blockhouse and the like, you expect a flawless dish. The waiter agrees on a specific gram weight for the steak when ordering, which is good. I ordered a medium fillet steak (220g) with a side of vegetables. It was a lukewarm piece of meat on a cold plate, much too rare for medium, with a thick tendon, definitely "not" fillet. It also came with a dollop of unsightly ayvar. None! Herb butter. The side dish consisted of four or five small pieces of rosemary potatoes, questionably warmed in the microwave shortly beforehand, along with a few beans and three pieces of carrot. The price was €40.70. For the starter, we ordered crostatini. It came with four thin slices of baguette with cheese and ham. Quite tasty, but definitely too expensive at €16.80. The price-performance ratio is not right at all. My husband had the salmon fillet with the same side dish, along with a 1/4 liter of Frascati. We also had a cappuccino, a Tartuffo and an almond parfait, and two Aperol-like long drinks. The price of €135 for two people is therefore unjustified. We can't recommend it to steak lovers. Since we were with friends who had requested to spend the evening there, we didn't want to discuss our displeasure with the service. Had we been alone, we would definitely have complained about the steak.

Wonderful restaurant, delicious food, 10/10 service! We'll be back many times.

Steaks and pizza were impeccable. Desserts—especially the tiramisu—have never been so good. The service from "Chef" Maurizio is unmatched in Bayreuth. So professional and attentive, an absolute experience! We'll be back!

It's always a pleasure to indulge in culinary delights at Bürgerreuth ❣️ ...the service is excellent, the food is superb. The ambiance is very pleasant, and it's nice to enjoy a meal in a certain unhurried peace. Side note: I love steaks, and the steaks at Bürgerreuth are of excellent quality and always cooked to perfection.

As always, the service was excellent, the food was outstanding and the atmosphere was like home. Every day again! Thank you for this wonderful birthday!

Wow! Best T-Bone Steak in my life! Tastes like a charcoal grill, nice and juicy, I can only recommend it! Thank you and we'll see you again 100%! Maurizio is simply the best! Thanks

We had the Valentine's Day menu with rump steak. The meat was cooked to perfection and super tasty! Reception and service very warm. It was a perfect evening for us and we felt very comfortable. We can't comment on the rooms since we didn't stay overnight.

We had a delicious three-course meal on Valentine's Day. The absolute highlight was the rump steak. It was cooked to perfection and wonderfully tender. The ambiance was lovely, and the service was very friendly.

Delicious food, great location. Thank you for the great food and the very nice service. We'd love to come back! Addition: In February 2025 we went to the Bürgerreuth for dinner again. It was again a great meal and the service was friendly and competent. In summer you can sit very comfortably on the terrace in front and enjoy the evening outside.

Nice ambience, great food, you can have a great conversation, all around great! Our first port of call for business meals, or privately in summer for a cozy evening on the large terrace.

The veal for less than 20 euros is quite tender and the sauce is just right. I will recommend this place to others and will come back next time to try other dishes🥰

We have been coming to the Bürgerreuth to eat for over 20 years, enjoying the atmosphere on the terrace in summer or at the open grill in the restaurant with excellent Italian food and good service. Littig family

High prices, but also high quality of the food, so the price level is absolutely okay. Certainly one of the best Italian restaurants in Bayreuth. Extensive pick-up menu with many dishes and ingredients outside the mainstream. Parking spaces directly at the house. Just got pizza, pasta and salad again yesterday. Everything was great and finished on time. Very routine and friendly transaction!

Super delicious food. Great place. Nice atmosphere.☺️

Very tasty food and excellent service!

Were only there for dinner. Nice atmosphere. Nice service. Food good. If we are in Bayreuth again, we would like to come back.

Unfortunately a disappointing evening. The starter was a disgrace...Crostatini...four small slices of white bread with toppings, for 16.80. The fillet steaks tasted very “flat” and lukewarm. They didn't do justice to the price. The side dish...rosemary potatoes...were just warmed up. Definitely not a place to eat steaks.

Went here for dinner, we had a pizza and pasta with fillet tips. The pizza was very good and I can only recommend it 10/10 👍 The noodles were ok too 8/10 The ambience is really very nice Would we come again? A clear yes because the complete package was very nice Service was excellent

Favorite restaurant all year round. Most beautiful terrace far and wide. Food and service great!

Good service, delicious food :-)

Good food, nice service, nice ambience

Ladies and Gentlemen First of all, I would like to thank all the restaurant staff and praise the friendly and professional service. Unfortunately, the New Year's Eve menu (€120 per person) did not meet the expectations I had based on the price and description. Many of the dishes appeared rather simple and lacked any particular sophistication. In addition, the portions were significantly smaller than I would have expected for this price. Overall, I find the price-performance ratio to be inadequate. Best regards Lehmann

We had a wonderful Christmas party with wonderful food and great service! We look forward to next time, thank you!

The food was great. The staff was very attentive and friendly. We'd love to come back!!

Everything was very good and an unforgettable Christmas party night!

The Bürgerreuth restaurant combines very good Italian cuisine in an upscale atmosphere with attentive service. Here you can spend time with business partners as well as privately or with the family. We experienced a perfect process, especially at celebrations such as our baptism or confirmation. I would like to recommend Bürgerreuth to others.

Delicious food and great service

Thank you very much for the excellent service, the food is excellent!

Delicious food, great ambience, top service. Had our little Christmas party today. It was super cozy and we had a very nice evening. Thanks. There was an extra Christmas special card. Will definitely come back. Keep it up!

Fantastic service and consistent, high quality cuisine. Whether steak, pizza or the pasta dishes - everything is recommended. Small special requests are implemented. We've been happy to come here for years. The two guest rooms and the fantastic terrace offer an absolute feel-good atmosphere in summer.

Super nice atmosphere. Top restaurant. I would give the rump steak 10 stars if I could. Compliments to the kitchen or the chef!

Everything is always great Service quality

Very nice food, very nice location. The service was perfect, friendly and courteous. We celebrate there our anniversary and that was a clam and warm place. A lot of food options (vegetarian and vegan options could be more) I highly recommande !

Super delicious food, but only the chef was friendly. No smile except when saying goodbye, slightly sloppy service. Nice atmosphere, great for grill lovers.

We always enjoy coming to Bürgerreuth. The food was very good and we didn't have to wait long. The service is very friendly.

The location at the top of the festival hill is great. The beer garden is beautiful. The staff super friendly. The food ok. But it didn't blow me away.

I was eating there. Very good and on weekdays there is business lunch, which is also ok in terms of price

Very tasty food and very nice service!

Good Italian cuisine, service a bit confusing, but otherwise really nice and recommended.

Excellent service and very good food.

Great food and very attentive service. Highly recommended.

Very good quality also for business lunch, so gastronomy is a joy, a place to relax, the food is simply incredibly tasty.

Perfect place to unwind after the opera. Friendly and quick service.

I "only" ate there, good service and great food

Delicious food and nice service, unfortunately rather expensive

We have often been to Bürgerreuth, whether as an overnight guest, for celebrations or after a visit to the Bayreuth Festival. Yesterday it was that time again. After a wonderful evening at the opera (Tannhäuser) we were in the Bürgerreuth garden. The service was perfect and very friendly, the food was very good. A perfect end to the day. We'll be back.

It's a super nice place, the food is upscale and good. It's a bit irritating that you have to move around on the terrace if you spontaneously decide not only to drink something, but also to eat something. Otherwise everything is good

We were in Bürgerreuth during the festival season and were very impressed by the friendly service. We were thrilled with the food and will therefore be happy to come back!

Walking distance from the opera and even though all tables were booked , the service was very quick and correct. In addition the carpaccio was delicious and the same for the other dishes we ordered. Lovely tables under the stars on a warm summer night. Incredibly well organized to attend to each guest efficiently and in a friendly way. Mille Grazie Maurizio!

The food in Bürgerreuth is expensive during the festival season, but it is good, although not outstanding. The service is tried hard, but reaches its limits, which is probably due to the interaction with the kitchen. Tip: Do not under any circumstances order an appetizer! Then, as we were told, your receipt for the main course goes to the end of the order and everyone, literally everyone else, gets their food before you! Both last year and this year, when we unfortunately made the starter mistake again, we waited well over an hour for the main course after the starter. That - and also the reaction to our nicely presented feedback in this regard - does not make up for the actually beautiful ambience and the proximity to the festival hall. For the rest of our stay in Bayreuth we oriented ourselves differently.

Great terrace, nice ambience and attentive waiters.

Nice beer garden, food was great

Very good food, nice location, impeccable service

Also at lunchtime there is a very nice atmosphere in the beer garden, extremely friendly but not intrusive service and very tasty food. All around good and recommended!

A wonderful place, very well cared for, down to the smallest detail. Fantastic staff, courtesy, elegance and service beyond expectations. We warmly congratulate you. Delicious food and great presentation. All round support amazing. We will come back in any case. Well-deserved six stars. Best regards, Kowal Group GmbH

Great atmosphere and great service. Totally great service. We were served very charmingly and felt very comfortable. Looking forward to the next visit! Hopefully again with the friendly woman with the Italian eyes 😉

Everything good, food, service and ambience! The price is critical! Just okay with price and performance!

The food was good. But the pizza with buffalo mozzarella and Parma ham was too overloaded, so the dough was soggy. Here less would be more. The steak was very good. The margherita was good too.

Very good food, good price-performance ratio. Staff and atmosphere very good. We will be back.

Nice beer garden above the festival hall. Grilled meat, great beer, friendly service and everything was very well maintained and of high quality.

A wonderful evening. Service 1a, courteous, friendly. Food very very tasty. Our entrecote was precise and buttery soft. No long waiting times, we'll be happy to come back.

For a special occasion, a perfect place for a delicious meal. Thanks to Antonella and Maurizio, a successful evening. The grappa recommendation is exquisite.
