Finyas Taverne in der Altstadt in Nürnberg

Great ambiance. Service was quite attentive. No chairs, only benches without backrests – completely uncomfortable after an hour at the latest. The food was absolutely mediocre, and the value for money was poor.

A super-cult restaurant, very rustic, with candlelight and Celtic background music. The tarte flambée was the best I've ever eaten. The dark beer from the Westerwald clay mugs was delicious. Everything was perfect. The staff was also very friendly and accommodating. Wi-Fi is, thankfully, limited or nonexistent, so you have to keep talking... great! Thanks for a lovely evening.

A perfect, slightly more expensive, lovely tavern! It's best to make a reservation in advance! It's always busy.

A second home, very good friends, and an incredible atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Great ambiance, a medieval tavern in a medieval building. The staff is excellent and very friendly. Unfortunately, in my opinion, the value for money isn't right; I find the prices excessive. The food, however, is very good.

Great medieval tavern in a historic building.

It's worth a visit just to see the atmosphere and meet the staff. The moment you enter, you're transported to the Middle Ages. Our barefoot waiter, dressed like an innkeeper, was so charming and sweet. We were cold walking around barefoot, but he was perfectly happy ;) The beers and presentation were excellent. For the food, I had leek soup and tarte flambe. My wife chose a medieval chicken dish from the weekly special. We both enjoyed the food. The price was very reasonable. I recommend making a reservation.

Very nice atmosphere, but you should expect to spend a bit of money for the evening. But it's worth it, and the atmosphere is lovely, as are the many regulars' tables.

Always a great experience at the tavern. Last time I visited, I only picked up a small keg, but otherwise, I enjoyed the place.

Authentic ambiance. Incredibly delicious food, and the mead beer is my absolute recommendation! I felt very comfortable, which was partly due to the extremely friendly staff.

The cellar was opened especially for us—a great location, fitting for Nuremberg's old town! Definitely worth a visit!

A welcoming atmosphere, subdued lighting, and a friendly, fun-loving staff that matches the setting. The dishes and table settings are traditional, simple yet satisfying. Prices are reasonable.

Great flammekuche and dessert with sums and nuts! The place is worth the detour for the atmosphere and the decor!

What a disappointment!!!!! No atmosphere (very different from all the pictures and reviews). The decor, however, was nice. We were alone!! Mediocre service (we asked for advice; the waitress was vegetarian: we were in a charcuterie/meat restaurant!!!) 22 euros for a simple tarte flambée with bacon, some kind of shell! Shameful. Don't do it! Unfortunately, it's a tourist trap. We discovered better while walking around Nuremberg.

I completely fell in love with this place.🤎 It’s right on a street lined with beautiful old buildings, and I just couldn’t resist stepping inside. The first night it was super crowded, so I only managed to get in near closing time and had a quick beer. But it blew me away, it was so good that I came back the very next day before leaving Nuremberg just to have another one. If beer tasted like this every day, I’d never get tired of it. The vibe is just as amazing as the beer. The outside is covered with pretty plants, and once you walk in, it feels like stepping onto a movie set. Wooden interiors, dripping candles, mounted leather—everything is decorated with such care. The staff even wear medieval costumes, which makes the whole place feel even more special. Honestly, it’s the best. Period.

I was in Nürnberg for a few days and went here for two nights with my friends, beautiful location, excellent food and drinks. It seems like you went back to medieval times for a night! So beautiful! And the ones who work there are super gentle, if you pass by Nürnberg i reccomend at least to give it a try, you will not regret!

We were looking for a nice little bar where we could have a beer that evening. We stumbled upon this tavern by chance. The waiters were all very, very friendly. The beer was also good, of course. For dinner, we simply tried a tarte flambée and bread with lard, which was also very tasty and completely reasonable in price. The interior is decorated like a medieval town, with a great atmosphere. We'd love to go back.

First of all, I have to say that it's a really nice, rustic restaurant. Here and there, they could have put a lot more effort into promoting different things. The service was excellent; even after pointing out that our 0.5-liter beer bottle was only half full, the beer was refilled without any problems. We ate the fish soup, the weekly special with chicken, beef soup, and the minced meat soup. Delicious in any case, but the price is worth considering. A small pot costs €15, and the large pot costs almost €10 more. The sizes are barely distinguishable. Therefore, it's unclear how the price is calculated. Overall, it's worth a visit if you have the necessary cash. And a word of advice from the team: if you decorate your restaurant in a rustic style, it would be great if you tried to decorate the restrooms in the same way :D Many thanks to the team anyway

Discovered by accident, but a great place. The honey beer is delicious.

I was disappointed because the festive atmosphere I was expecting was not there at all.

Really feels like a Medieval tavern. Food was amazing. The mead was good. Very authentic feel

A unique ambiance and excellent food and drinks impress with their authenticity. You'll be transported back to another era, and nothing at Finyas seems out of place. The service is pleasant, the food very good, and the prices reasonable. You won't leave hungry or thirsty when you return to the present. A visit is always worthwhile!

Great food, fantastic staff, and best of all the atmosphere!

Incredible restaurant located on a typical Nuremberg street. The medieval atmosphere is truly felt here. The decor and the dark side of the restaurant create an incredible atmosphere. The waiters are dressed in period costumes, which really adds to the immersion. The dishes are homemade and very good. The bill is very reasonable for Germany. I recommend it.

The food is very good, and so is the beer. The two waitresses were very nice and accommodating! Unfortunately, there seems to be an ant problem, because they kept crawling out of the cracks in the table. Perhaps that fits the medieval atmosphere, but everyone has to judge for themselves 🤭. Also, the moldy fur on the benches needs to be removed; they really bothered me...

The atmosphere was very nice. The food was delicious too.

Finya's Tavern is a wonderful medieval tavern with great food and outstanding mead! The staff here are cheerful and really fun. Whenever I'm in Nuremberg, coming here is always a highlight for me. This time I went on a weekday without a reservation. You can often get a seat for two people. But I generally recommend making a reservation, especially on weekends.

It was nice here and we would love to come back.

Absolutely recommendable. Brilliant location and perfectly executed.

The tarte flambée is very good.

Very charming ambience. Excellent food.

Everything was top-notch. During my short stay in Nuremberg, I've been drawn back there every night since the first. The atmosphere, the food, the mead beer (😋), and the service were all excellent. I'll be back at the next opportunity. Without a doubt.

It was a place where we really felt like we were in the Middle Ages. The harmony between the staff and the environment is really good. The presentations are great. What we ate was delicious. I was very happy that there was a gluten-free bread option.

Always a delight for the palate. There's nothing on the menu that isn't outstanding, whether it's drinks or food. The medieval ambiance fits perfectly and feels particularly cozy. For a particularly contrasting time travel experience, we recommend a visit to the restrooms. They're very well-maintained and anything but medieval.

I thought long and hard about whether to leave a review, but I decided to do it anyway, because I assume bad reviews are simply deleted, and I'm testing whether they stay, and for how long... We were a larger group and had our own area. That was nice! And the ambiance was nice, but it was just too dark for me! If I can't read the menu without a (cell phone) flashlight, that's already a minus! But the food was a disgrace! The "herb bread" with garlic was bitter! A chef friend told me: "That's what happens when you use old garlic that's already sprouting." Since I trust this chef, I believe him. But the excessive amount of herbs continued. The tarte flambée with salmon was so overburdened with herbs that I had to remove them first to find the salmon. Even at just under €23, it was simply too expensive, given the otherwise inexpensive basic ingredients. But others in the group were also dissatisfied. The vegetable stew seemed cheap and tasted like instant vegetable broth with vegetables. €13.10 for that, I'm sorry, isn't appropriate and too expensive! Many people had the bitter herb bread with garlic and didn't think it was special either. The classic tarte flambée was OK! Still: dough, sour cream, bacon, onions for €15.80??? If I go to the home of tarte flambée, it won't even cost half!!! I can't say anything about the other stews, but I think the menu overall is too expensive! Others in our group ordered another dish over the course of the evening... That sounds great, but for me, it's no honor if guests get hungry again over the course of the evening and are NOT full! The drinks didn't impress me either! The berry wine was piss-warm! Now you could say: It's supposed to be like that! But I didn't like this lukewarm mush! It's not on the menu either. And I didn't see it as red wine... A hint from the waitress would have been good! Now I come to the waitress: She was trying hard that evening. That was it! Some drinks were incorrectly added to the orders. So, because they couldn't really control it, they were charged twice. Absolutely unacceptable, it just HAS to be right! Conclusion: For me, once and never again! The 2 stars are generous because of the "ambience"! The prices are convincingly too high. (In another restaurant, I get a shoulder of pork for 22.50.) Others said they had been there the day before and had great service. Unfortunately, as a large group, we were just unlucky. More than unfortunate! I know everything has become more expensive, but unfortunately, my wages haven't either. So I simply expect a restaurant where the food and drink are right for the price and quality! Not here! And the ambiance alone isn't enough to make it look good (it was just too dark, even if authentic, still stupid)... I don't want a comment from the owner either; I just want this to be left uncommented, and for people to be able to tolerate the negative things. But that probably won't work either...

Great atmosphere. The decor is antique, as befits a tavern. The food tastes simply delicious, and the mead and various mead beers impress with every visit. The cheese dip is by far the best dish in the tavern. Always a great place for a relaxed evening with friends and colleagues. Addendum: The waiter sings Skyrim and gets bonus points 😂

Game of thrones aesthetic. It's the coolest bar in Nürnberg imo.

Good homemade pizzas in a typically medieval atmosphere

Delicious stews, lovely staff and great atmosphere

Always a pleasure, great ambience, good atmosphere, relaxed atmosphere, good music. Always busy, so reservations are recommended.

A very authentic place with appropriate cuisine. We really liked it.

Food was very expensive for the portion you receive, otherwise staff and atmosphere was good.

Ambiente und Freundlichkeit erhält 5 Punkte, das hochpreisige Essen leider nur 2. Die Gesamtbewertung leidet unter dem Widerspruch zwischen dem hohen Preis für sehr einfaches Essen, das zudem sehr mäßig schmeckte. Ich spreche von den Suppen! Wir hatten drei verschiedene. Alle drei erinnerten an Kantinenessen, wobei es da auch geschmacklich stärkeres und schwächeres gibt. Die Suppen waren essbar aber eher schwach.

Staff was funny, cheerful and friendly. The atmosphere is exceptional and very cozy. The rustic dishes are very tasty, but unfortunately the tarte flambées are just ok.

Simply a dream from the service to the ambience to the delicious food.

The only thing better than the food was the attentive service staff. The tavern is furnished with such attention to detail that you immediately feel at home. We felt very welcome with a nursing baby and stroller.

Very nice, cozy restaurant with friendly service who serve the guests diligently and quickly. Our stews were very tasty and the punch drinks are also highly recommended. Despite the large number of tables, it is an advantage to reserve in advance!

Very tasty, very great atmosphere, but now too expensive.

How do you keep five ADHDers happy? They are forbidden (rightly and important!) from playing with the candles! Great evening, dear employees, great food! Gladly again.

Super beautiful and lovely people. Definitely I'll come back.

Medieval. You get what you are promised.

Wow, I'm actually from Cologne and what can I say, we've lost a lot over the last few years. I've been to Nuremberg several times but unfortunately I only stumbled upon this gem of a shop last week. Thanks to a new contact in town, I was able to get to know the store. It was fantastic, delicious beer, great people and great atmosphere. Next time I'll definitely be here again and drink a dark mead beer, Update ;) The store is still as magical as it was when I first reviewed it. In addition, I now know that you can eat incredibly well there.

It is by far the best medieval tavern I know. The food is of the best quality, the atmosphere is really nice and the staff are always in a good mood! 😄

The rating says it all. In almost 15 years the tavern has not lost any quality. But I like to miss the Polish. Better reserve in advance.

We were here with a group of around 35 people and had a very nice evening. The organization and communication for the evening were really top. The service team was super friendly & patient! The food was very good and arrived on time as discussed. Once again a big thank you to the great team!

Great tarte flambée, service very nice

How lucky we ended up here. Great atmosphere, very tasty food at really reasonable prices and very friendly staff. Very happy again and definitely recommended!

A wonderful place full of character. We thoroughly enjoyed the fun staff and the garlic bread, fondue, and stew.

Fantastic atmosphere, very friendly and very good staff and the food also tasted really good. Be sure to order the garlic bread for your main course and treat yourself to a glass of blueberry wine or honey mead

We only went for drinks, but what a place 😍 Live the setting, atmosphere and the very very friendly and accommodating staff

We got lucky to get a table without reservation, the place can be very busy. It is worth to try it, the atmosphere is so special and they offer delicious honey wine. Tart flambé was also good.

We were there yesterday for a family birthday party and felt very comfortable right from the start. Very harmonious ambience, pleasant lighting and subtle background music, matching the medieval furnishings. Both the mead beer (popular at our table in both the light and dark versions and also in the lower alcohol version with malt beer) and the spiced wine were very tasty and came to the table quickly. We were absolutely full with a small leek soup and half a tarte flambée (the western version with Camembert and cranberries). Our group also enjoyed the stews (venison ragout, peppery minced pot, beef stew with red wine) and the vegetable casserole. While elsewhere you don't get the opportunity to order a second drink because no waiter shows up after the food has been served, we were very positively surprised here. We were asked several times during the evening whether everything was still okay and whether there was anything else that could be done for us, without being intrusive in any way. There was a little joke here and there, the burned-out candles were quickly and easily replaced with new ones and reordering the drinks or choosing an individual side dish was no problem. In short, we felt completely at home and can fully recommend Finyas Tavern if, like us, you can relate to the medieval-inspired food and drinks on offer.

Was there recently for the first time and can only say that the service is top. Really nice for people who like medieval decor (also the reason why I went to the tavern). The guests were also nice, so I would love to come back!

Always worth a visit. Great medieval atmosphere. Great clay jugs

Für Touris auf Mittelalter getrimmtes Lokal, mit Fellen auf den Holzbänken, defekten Lampen und einer Damen-Toilettenkabine ohne Tür, was wohl "historisch" wirken soll. Leider stehen auf einigen Bänken Metall-Krampen hoch, daher muss man vorsichtig mit seiner Kleidung sein. Und interessanterweise, so haben wir beobachtet, benutzt eine Bedienung ("Schankweib") die Theke für ausgedehnten Stretching-Übungen mit Beinen und Füßen.

If you are looking for an extraordinary place to spend a nice evening with friends or family, this is the right place for you. There is delicious food and great drinks in a medieval atmosphere. I particularly like the Radler Alternative with malt beer and Meet. Unfortunately, we waited a very long time for the food, even when we only ordered some bread.

Real pub in medieval style, very cool 🤙

Very nice tavern, but unfortunately very unfriendly and smug rejection if you didn't make a reservation and just wanted to have a nightcap for the two of you. We would have drunk our tankard of beer in front of the door. But obviously you can't turn anyone away. Certainly not (even with a reservation) again...

Invece del solito menù abbiamo provato questo locale in stile "quasi" medievale. Il locale è abbastanza scuro e ci sono candele sui tavoli. Il personale si presenta in abito tipico. Ottima la Flammkuchen (pizza alsaziana) classica, anche da condividere e anche gli Eintoepfe (stufati), sia di manzo che piccantino. Bevande in bicchieri di terracotta, anche vino al miele. Porzioni abbondanti (c'è anche la mezza porzione) e prezzo giusto

Delicious food, good beer, nice people, cool atmosphere, what more could you want?

We were here with a group of around 40 people and why we were well looked after. The food, which came to the tables on platters and could be enjoyed by everyone, was super tasty, the service was attentive and authentic and the ambience is unbeatable anyway!

You feel like you've been transported back to the Middle Ages, you could say it's a little journey back in time. The clay vessels, as well as the food in their production, are perfectly suited to this era. You can only use the spices that were available at the time. The Silk Road and the supermarket were far away or far from existent! Friendly employees. I recommend making reservations early, especially on weekends. As an individual you are usually given a place somewhere else. Always worth a visit.

Super rustic pub, we only had something to drink but the food looked fantastically tasty, we'll definitely be back 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Top

Not particularly big, but quaint, dark, real. The service...very authentic at the time, attentive and cool. There could be a little more choice when it comes to food, including for vegetarians.

The ambience here is simply unbeatable. From the room to the music to the dishes. The staff is also dressed harmoniously and is always super friendly and in a good mood. The food and drink also fits the theme and is really tasty. It is a little expensive, but you also pay for the entire experience. I've been here many times and will come again. There is no better place to enjoy mead and cheese dip.

Very good discovery, the food is really delicious, the staff and the service are great... I highly recommend this restaurant 👍😋

It's a super nice and warm place.

Absolutely great After the great experience, we went back again two days later. And even though it was fully booked, the friendly waitress found a place for us. The frame invites you to linger. Hearty and extremely tasty food and drinks were served. Despite the full house, the staff not only pampered us quickly but always with a big smile. Thank you for the lovely evenings 👌 LG René and the 2 Frenchmen

The food is super delicious, only the skins are wet and you get beer down your neck 😂😂 No jokes aside, the food was so delicious and the service was really great, the chicken breast, the roast pork and the bread dumplings were particularly good I'd love to be there again

I love this place! Friendly staff, delicious food and drinks, lovely medieval location and we're also allowed to play D&D there!

Great restaurant with super nice staff. The food was very tasty and the atmosphere was very quaint.

Mega location in Nuremberg. Whenever I come to town I try to come here. (Live 600km away) Good food with a cold beer in an earthenware mug.

There were three of us without a reservation on a Saturday, the seats inside were reserved but there was a 1.5 hour time slot for us, it was shortly after opening, but we decided to eat outside where we had more time. The service was all very friendly, the dishes were delicious. We had peppery minced meat stew, tarte flambée and a large salad. My recommendation would be to go at night until the evening as the tavern looks very nice but is also well staffed.

Went there for the first time thanks to a friend's birthday and immediately became a fan. Beautiful atmosphere, the best music, super nice and humorous service and really delicious food. Can highly recommend the cheese dip in bread. The small portion was already too much for me, but leftovers are packed up and still taste good at home. (Seriously, a large portion of this must be enough for 2 people. It's just a lot of cheese. But super tasty.👌) If Nuremberg wasn't over an hour's train ride away, I would probably move in. I'll definitely come back!💗

Fantastic experience. We were transported into medieval ages. The atmosphere is otherworldly, the food delicious, and the staff make sure you're satisfied at all times. I'll recommend this place to all my friends and families visiting Nürnberg and I'll definitely be coming back for more next time. This is a MUST-go place in my book. My only complaint is that the music was some kind of German medieval-like "metal". I would've preferred some calmer instrumental music that fits the age more, but it wasn't bad to listen to either. Definitely vibed to a few of the songs.

Absolutely perfect, I love this place. Whoever had the idea and the skill to create this deserves the highest praise. The food and drink match the surroundings in an amazing way . Thank you

Fantastic atmosphere and fantastic service the Mead was incredible and the food was tasty while also beeing cheap. Must visit.

It's always nice with you. The ambience alone always takes me out of everyday life and gives me a comfortable feeling. Thanks also to the staff, who are always in a great mood :)

Beautiful ambience in medieval style, which immediately captivates everyone. It's perfect for people who are traveling alone, because the huge tables mean you never eat alone and you can quickly start a conversation.

Extremely atmospheric tavern with top quality food and drinks and great quality/price balance. We were lucky to have Peaches serve us. His service (in English!) was outstanding and made the evening even better. Would absolutely visit again if given the chance. Don't miss this for lunch, dinner or just drinks.

Medieval place, excellent food and service

und eintauchen in eine andere Zeit als das Essen noch in Kesseln auf der Feuerstelle gekocht und gehackte Eisschollen an bestimmten Braumonaten,dem unterirdisch in Gruben oder Kellern gelagerten Bier Kühlung verschaffte um dem Verderb vorzubeugen. Allerdings,auch wenn Nürnberg ja immer gerne mit Mittelalterlichem assoziiert wird,so ist diese Taverne doch etwas anderes. Denn hier geht's speziell auch von der Einrichtung her mehr ins allgemeine Mittelalter,statt dem typischen Nämbercher Mittelalter"klausenstil",was jedoch dem Ganzen nicht im Geringsten schadet. Angesichts der Sitzgelegenheiten,sowie der Deko und dem ausgeschenkten Met,hat das ganze doch ein wenig nordisches Flair,was aber für diejenigen Personen welche schon immer Nordmänner & Frauen sein wollten,absolut entgegen kommt. Man braucht also nicht extra einen Mittelaltermarkt oder ein Event aufsuchen, Klamotten an und einen schönen Abend wie vor etlichen hunderten von Jahren in Finyas Taverne genießen. Auch wenn wir nur die Bier-&Mettrunke unsere Kehlen hinabfließen ließen,so versprechen wir doch nochmal's zu kommen um die hausgemachten Eintöpfe (und vor allem die Käsetunke) und Flammkuchen zu testen,sowie uns nach flüssigem Einstieg eine deftige Räucher-oder Käseplatte zu basteln. Jedoch ob für Städtisches Altertum Affine oder Nordmannfans ,man MUSS diese Taverne einmal gesehen und erlebt haben,denn selbst gute Bilder schaffen es nicht ansatzweise das Hammer Flair rüberkommen zu lassen. Und abends auf der Terrasse mit Kerzenschein und den leicht gelblich schimmernden Laternen der Gasse,kommt dann doch bissi Nämbercher Altertumsfeeling auf.

Ate well, drank great and the staff were really great! You immediately feel comfortable.

The food was simple but delicious. I loved the sausage platter and beef stew. The mead was wonderful, it tasted just like my own back home.

The food here was delicious. The beef stew was full of meat and was delicious. The mead was excellent and the sausage platter was very yummy

Medieval cradle lit ambiance. Had the beef stew and helles beer which were good.

The honey beer here is a class apart. The atmosphere of this place, even the waiters and everything, is just like a whole experience. A highly recommended experience. I recommend booking a table a.k.a reserving before coming as it can get full pretty quickly. But it's worth it. I love this place. I got garlic bread the first time i was here and it was really hard to eat, but i think it was just that day as my friends had a totally different item served under the same title which was really good.

Had a lovely evening during the week too. Thanks

Stumbled by accident this gem - a night to remember. Let the waiter order for us freely - was amazed by the food and drinks. The mead was fantastic! A must visit place!

Delicious food and ambience. Unfortunately, when there's a lot going on, it quickly becomes loud. Prices for drinks are relatively high.
