Gasthaus Alte Mainmühle in Würzburg

Extremely good food, central location with a view of the Main and the fortress and excellent service. What more could you want?!?!?

We chose this restaurant on the occasion of our son's birthday. No recognition of the event at all, something we don't know from other establishments. Above all, the service was unfortunately very poor and made the evening a less than pleasant one. The food portions were clear. The price-performance ratio has decreased significantly (we have been here several times). Now we will unfortunately be leaving this place off our list of restaurants to visit.

The prices are astronomical. For 3 small dumplings with alleged porcini mushrooms, a bit of salad and a smeared plate with sauce 23 euros, yes, just under 24, I took 5 small deserts with a few fried potatoes, which were also dry, a bit of sauerkraut 20 euros. Great restaurant, thank you very much No!!!!?

Very rude and sometimes very challenging waiter in the outside/table area last night. I'll never go there again. Some guests just shook their heads at the behavior of this employee. Incredible

Great location, good food - however, the seating on the balcony is too narrow so that you can no longer sit comfortably and it is rather very cramped and uncomfortable. The heaters above our heads aren't ideal either. It gets very hot on your head directly underneath

We were here spontaneously on the weekend. Kitchen had just closed. We were told there was nothing left. 1 minute late. We were very disappointed. The service staff wasn't exactly the friendliest either. There won't be a repeat, it's a shame...

Excellent food! The poached quail eggs were star-worthy. Difficult to cut and eat from the deep bowl. It is better to use a medium-deep vessel (soup plate). The table service was very nice and quick, even in the peripheral areas - 5 stars. What we didn't like was that guests piled up at the narrow entrance and waited in vain to be welcomed, and they were deliberately ignored for a longer period of time. Some areas were extremely noisy due to group tables, but fortunately we were able to move to a quieter area upon request. Conclusion: Great food, rest ok.

We didn't eat in the restaurant, so I can't rate the food, but we took wine and walked along the bridge. Good idea with the deposit for the glasses, you can return it to the restaurant and get the 5€ deposit, or keep it for yourself) I liked the wine, the bartender was friendly.

Great for a glass of wine on the Main Bridge, but I wouldn't recommend eating here! The price/performance ratio is probably not right. Staff quite young but friendly!

Very cozy and super friendly staff.

We treated ourselves to a glass of wine on the Main Bridge and enjoyed the sun. The serving went quickly. The prices per glass are between 6 and 7 euros, 5 euros are a deposit. The wine was delicious, the glass was filled very full. You can do it!

Unfortunately the price-performance ratio was very inadequate. Little to eat for a lot of money. Doesn't have to happen again...

First the good: The ambience is really nice - depending on where you sit, but unfortunately that's where it starts. It's extremely narrow and unless you're really lucky to get one of the nice niche seats, the ambience isn't of much use. Apart from that, it is very noisy because everything is designed to take up maximum space. When we arrived, the service employee approached us when we asked for another seat. The food came to the table after 5 minutes - so it couldn't have been freshly prepared and that's how it tasted. It was cold and the fried potatoes were floury, cold and kind of hard without being crispy. They were also dripping with fat and barely seasoned. We don't even need to start with the other dishes. We left hungry and paid a fortune for bad food and mass processing. Unfortunately, mmn. simply a bad tourist shed in a prime location.

Everything was super very tasty. I'll definitely be back.

This place is right on the bridge. Served people three ways. You can dine indoors +we did), service is great food is very tasty (we each had schnitzel), and the atmosphere is pleasant. You can come part way in, place a lighter order to go (sandwiches, brautwurst) while standing up waiting, drinking a beer. Or you can walk into a small window just for beer or whine , stand around drinking & socializing whilst looking off the bridge or at the beautiful city.

Great view Very nice service The food was tasty but not justified for the price Unfortunately, garlic granules are used and ruin the whole meal (mashed potatoes).

Unfortunately the change in service staff was not satisfactory. New colleague very rude. Too bad.....

Wonderful! Beautiful surreal city!! ❣️

We were here for the second time now. It was perfect except for the draft at the bottom. One of the male service staff seems to live in a tram. In any case, he didn't have it that way with the door. Otherwise as expected, good food, good beer and the service at the table was very good.

We didn't eat, but a glass of wine is a must...

Everything was amazing.. just loved it😍💓

The restaurant definitely has a great ambience and the way it used to look is great. It's worth a visit

We have known the Alte Mainmühle for many years. It's a shame how this has deteriorated. Food got 1 star because the ribbon noodles were ok. The ambience in the old Main mill is and remains - very nice. 1 star deduction - Please don't go to the toilet. You can pour yourself wine, but jokes will be made about drinking it. Salad sandy, bread old. Roast venison becomes more dry in the mouth when chewed instead of less - dry. Fried potato - pre-fried - a single mash. Tagliatelle - it worked. Wiener Schnitzel - no, that was a thick breaded piece of meat. Wine - all the wines of 2022 vintages that we selected simply do not exist. The 2023 wine comes without comment. No thanks - we declined. We eat the main course between glasses and plates of the starter - very cozy. At the entrance you can stand in the cold and wait until someone tries to show you the reserved table. Here I like to go to the exit and never come back

Wanted to have a nice, cozy birthday meal there. Unfortunately it was rather mediocre in all respects. The flavor of the braised venison was very, let's call it, simple. The portion size is not filling for a “normal eater”. Service was poor. We also sat at the door, which was constantly open and so it was cool throughout. I didn't even want to put a dog in that place. All in all very disappointing in this price segment. The company's own claim is fine cuisine and a fine category in general. Unfortunately, it doesn't do it justice. Too bad. Was the last visit in the near future. I was so looking forward to a great meal on my birthday. Too bad.

Extremely well-kept and trendy restaurant. Great service. Very good food.

Great food, friendly service, nice location

Very nice, cozy old inn. The food came quickly, the service was nice and courteous. Delicious Franconian food in a cozy atmosphere. Can be highly recommended 👍

Very nice restaurant. We only had cafe and dessert but that was very good. Very friendly staff

08/13/2024 Delicious food in a perfect location. We thought the sauerkraut at the Ratskeller tasted more refined. Cake was delicious, beer was nice and cold and plentiful. Nicely located business on the Main, right by the Mainbrücke that provides access to the city center of Würzburg. Service not good: no consideration for placement - we did not want to sit in the sun and there were plenty of tables available, but sitting in the shade was not allowed (the two of us were not allowed to sit at a four-person table, while there were five four-person tables available outside were in the shade). Initially we started with cake and drinks, then also had dinner. But it was very clear that we had to leave ASAP, even though we were allowed to stay until 6:30 PM (and it was only around half past six when we got the dessert menu in some haste). We didn't get the dessert menu either: it was thrown on the table. The message was clear.

The most delicious beer I ever drank in Germany.

The wine was fine. Unfortunately, that's all there is to it. The food is bad and way too salty (if what you ordered is not already finished). For the hefty price you can really expect something better. Really a waste of the wine and your money

Good service, super pleasant atmosphere, the dishes are well served and the price is compatible. When we were here 10 years ago, the plate with 5 sausages were different sausages, now they are all the same.

Great location, good service, very friendly! We'd love to come back,

Very good cuisine, also slightly higher prices, special location right on the old Main bridge, brilliant. a. if you get one of the coveted seats on the balcony - gambling without a reservation, so it's better to call in good time

Rustic atmosphere, we only got a wine to take away to drink on the bridge like the others. The Rotling tasted very good and the price was reasonable.

Rude waiters No thanks Just a rip off

Why make a big deal about it? Everything fits here. The ambience is unbeatable, the service is honestly very attentive (thanks to Monaieur Melgar) and the food and wine are completely convincing. We'd love to come back. There is a very clear Five Star Dwaynson rating here.

Authentic Franconian dishes with good beer and view.

We were here for dinner today and had a nice table on the terrace, the food was very good and a very friendly waiter, which unfortunately is no longer common in some restaurants today

Good restaurant in a historic building right on the old Main bridge. It is possible to buy drinks from street vendors and drink them comfortably on the bridge. The outdoor seating has a great view of the fortress and the pilgrimage church. The food is not cheap, but it is high quality and tasty.

We used to always like to come to the Alte Mainmühle on the Main Bridge. My friends organized my bachelorette party in Würzburg. Unfortunately, the boss said that there would be no bar for bachelorette parties on site. This really annoyed me and I will only visit the Mainwein Ausschank in the future.

Quite a nice place. Sometimes our drinks were forgotten or we had to wait a long time for them. Food good, prices a bit high. In the middle of the tourist hotspot. Unfortunately a bit inflexible when it comes to intolerances.

Food is very, very expensive and the quality leaves a lot to be desired. Service very satisfied.

Beautiful inn with a great terrace and a wonderful view of the festivals. Food was impeccable. Service still has room for improvement.

Service TOP, food TOP, ambience and view TOP. Clear 5 stars 🌟

Franconian restaurant directly on the Main.

Right on the old Main bridge, very nice view, the food was also good

I would never recommend this restaurant. It is very expensive and the waiters treat the customers badly.

After queuing for about 45 minutes at the outside bar, we were not served because we were a group of six women who were wearing an identical brooch. It was explained to us that we were therefore a bachelorette party, which we denied several times. So we weren't served.

Service was poor and the food wasn't ideal either. The salad in particular did not meet our expectations. The atmosphere is good for that.

I don't usually leave reviews for places, however this time I feel forced. I approached asking for two glasses of wine and was told that I would have to leave some sort of deposit for the glass (€10 when the glass of wine cost €6). Furthermore, I was later told that the only possible payment method was cash: are we even in Germany in 2024? When I reply that I don't have enough cash for the deposit, the glass of wine is taken away immediately, with a grimace as if it were normal not to accept the credit card and ask for a deposit for the glass "kindly" made available by the restaurant. Without words.

Unfortunately, incredibly unsympathetic staff. Were sent away in a very arrogant manner because they don't serve wine at hen parties. It would be understandable if we were messing around or something similar, but we were civilized girls who just wanted a glass of wine. It could also have simply been communicated properly. But after queuing for 20 minutes we were simply sent away in the most unfriendly and arrogant manner. Therefore, unfortunately not recommended if you value customer orientation.

Good food, but the service was strange. We were treated rudely and responded very quickly.

We queued in the afternoon because we wanted to have a glass of wine on the bridge. When it was our turn, we were immediately turned away with a look at our sunglasses and the explanation that bachelor parties were generally not served. We were completely sober, calm and friendly. This blanket prejudice is unfair and frustrating; I wouldn't go here again outside of a bachelorette party. The serving should not be made dependent on generalized assumptions, but on the actual appearance and behavior of the people, not on their gender or reason for the visit!

Very friendly, good atmosphere, delicious food.

The food is delicious, the ambience is unique, the service is beyond criticism. You don't want to be treated so unkindly. Not for us again anytime soon 😒

Very nicely located restaurant with a great ambience. The service was quite mixed. We were served by a nice and courteous waiter. Another person who came to our table but didn't take orders and then sent them to the other colleagues looked increasingly annoyed. He didn't really want to communicate with us either. The food was good. My colleagues were satisfied. Unfortunately, my risotto was hardly chunky, there is room for improvement here.

pleasant atmosphere, very good service

Nice restaurant with good food and nice service. The visit is recommended

We've eaten there several times. This restaurant is a must on every trip to Würzburg.

I ordered one dish from chef recommended list, the salad is really good with perfect source and well-cooked black tail shrimp and beef. The bread they provided is also soft insides and crispy outsides. Not traditional german food, but really fit for asian taste.

In terms of location, the restaurant is of course unbeatable: we had a table outside on the balcony directly above the Main. We were all very impressed with the food, so there was nothing to complain about. Unfortunately the service wasn't ideal: the bottle of wine was already waiting next to us but it just wasn't served, so we helped ourselves...

Busy, and at an amazing location. If you can dine outside with the view, take that opportunity.

The food etc was quite ok. The service, however, is really not great. We pretended to be nice all the time on Fake and when we supposedly didn't give her enough tip at the end, she suddenly became totally unfriendly. No recommendation

Disappointing beer tent atmosphere. The food was not seasoned enough and not freshly prepared (Schäufele: crust rubbery). Many guests drunk and loud. Relative expensive. The advantage is the beautiful ambience and the great location.

Beautiful restaurant right on the old Main bridge with a wonderful view of the fortress. The food was very delicious, although very, very expensive. I suspect that the high quality of the food is simply reflected in the price. Very friendly service and of course a great ambience.

Nice food, nice atmosphere! A little expensive!

At the beginning of my studies there was nothing other than a dilapidated historical building that was turned into a gem with a lot of money and a lot of love. The mill bratwurst with cabbage is a long-running favorite from the very beginning. I can recommend everything in terms of quality and taste, as long as it would otherwise suit your own taste. Meat was a bit dry the last few times but still on the good side. Every room has its own charm. We love the fireplace room in winter and the balconies in the late afternoon in summer. I come by every time I'm back in Würzburg, but I've also explicitly invited business partners there.

We were down in the garden by the river with a divine view (although the photo of the fortress is from the bridge above the terrace, but the view is just as nice), the beer and prosecco were good, the creme brulee and chocolate mousse were excellent. Nice service, a classic for us every time we are in Wurzburg 👍

6/5 stars! -> Incredibly good Schäufele!!! -> the best starter Obazda, great portion, really tasty! -> Perfect dessert: Creme Brulee with rhubarb sorbet -> attentive service -> only the spritzers could use more juice Overall, for me, the best Franconian cuisine has to offer in Würzburg!

Very nice and helpful when rebooking a reservation. The food was great.

Terrible quality-price. The disastrous service, I have never been treated with such disdain in a restaurant. A shame because the views are beautiful. I would not go back

When you order Franken wine, you can choose between white or red! A 5€ deposit is included when paying, so if you pay in cash, you can receive it by returning the tokens and glasses you received. I heard that if I visit the Wurzburg, then I should take a Frankenwein. I could find the restaurant near the bridge, that's why I chose here. That great wine with a beautiful landscape was undeniably perfect for me

You can probably go back there now. It's a great atmosphere and always nice for visitors. The food was definitely better, but the price was very high. I had a stuffed chicken breast with ratatouille and gnocchi for almost €30! Schäufele were clear.

Lovely restaurant with incredible views. The staff is attentive and speaks several languages ​​(which can be useful). The dishes are hearty and tasty. The menu is extensive and will suit all types of diets. I highly recommend this place.

Attention RIP-OFF for JGA Top location with really unfriendly waiters. After spending a lot of money on a mediocre meal there, we wanted to drink some wine on the beautiful Main Bridge. After we stood in the long queue, the unfriendly waitress just said briefly - are you a JGA? Then they get nothing! And served the next ones... in a sober state after we had only been out for 5 minutes and had left a lot of money there.

Food was great, but overpriced. Service very weak. Luckily, the wine tastes good! Seriously, the restaurant has become a tourist trap. Old Main mill, goodbye!

Good food and a nice resturant .Tried Ratatouille and roasted potatoes a both were delicious .

Great atmosphere with patio hanging over the Main with views of Festung Marienberg and the many mingling on the Alte Mainbrücke

Very unfriendly staff. No opening times visible for the bar. If you ask about it, you turn around asking repeatedly if you don't get an answer, you're rude. Doesn't work at all. Not recommendable

Very tasty food. Good and friendly service. Fantastic wines with well-filled glasses :)

I give the two stars here for the great view. Otherwise it was nothing. We would have liked to sit on the terrace first and have a drink; we would have liked to decide later whether we wanted to eat something. But we were told by a member of staff that we were only allowed to sit on the terrace if we were eating something. This is almost a necessity for me. When we were here in 2019, this didn't exist yet. So the two stars are rather retroactive. That's no way to treat customers.

Very friendly staff. Impeccable service. Fast service and little waiting time for the food. It was a beautiful ambience and a perfect meal. To be recommended with a clear conscience.

Super tasty food, good wine and nice service!

Ambiance is good though. Food very overpriced and extremely unfriendly, arrogant staff.

Were turned away as a bachelorette party for no reason, weren't drunk or anything. But we had to wait in line for 25 minutes. Supposedly instructions from the boss. Thanks for nothing :)

I came here to take a break during the hot day with some wine and snacks. The store is busy but still has plenty of room. There is a sign at the entrance that says ``Please wait while we guide you.'' However, no matter how long I waited, I could not get any guidance. A line of Germans started forming behind us, but soon they began to enter the store without waiting for directions. that? When I looked at the waiter, he still said, ``Wait.'' What do you mean? After a while, I realized that. Isn't this restaurant a restaurant that doesn't allow Asian food? I gave up on entering. I lined up and lost.

We were there at lunchtime and wanted to come back for an international match in the evening. At around 4 p.m. we reserved a table for 8:30 p.m. in the pavilion and canceled "our" table in another restaurant. Unfortunately an error. When we arrived at 8:30 p.m., the table we had reserved was occupied by someone who said he was part of the staff. We were told to sit somewhere and got a drink on the house. We didn't get any help. So when you make a reservation, don't look forward to the evening until you have your place... The kitchen was already closed at 8:30 p.m.

Very nice inn right on the Main. You had to wait a bit for the beer, but not too long. It was served in earthenware jugs and sufficiently cooled. The food (fried Spessarter wild boar saddle) was A1, especially the sauce. Completely satisfied!!!

For steep prices you could have expected great food. Sauerkraut, which is served almost raw with caraway seeds and juniper berries, fried potatoes instead of bread with an extra charge of almost €5, which are not even fried and served with onions, ... right up to dishes that are steamed in advance in the steamer and then there too Letting it rest for a good 45 more minutes at 100°C... is actually a no-go for me at prices like that. But the atmosphere is special... Too bad it's not the kitchen. ...or not in the expected way.

Just because you want to buy something to drink as a sober JGA, this is refused with the statement: we are not allowed to serve anything at JGAs.

Great location right on the Main Bridge.

Went there with our JGA group and wanted to buy a glass of wine. Unfortunately they didn't want to serve us anything because we had probably had bad experiences. Our group was completely sober and I find it a bit difficult to lump everyone together. Someone here probably doesn't want to make money. Well, we won't be coming back anyway.

It's a shame - we stood in line for half an hour to drink the "famous" Brückenschoppen at the window. Unfortunately, we were not served as a bachelor party (a friend had worn the “Bride” headband). It's a shame because I've been to the restaurant several times. Personally, I won't be coming back again.

Food: 2 times a day card absolutely premium. Rump steak not ok. Don't wine well in 2022 and 2023. Liquor not good.

Location great, service excellent!! The ambience inside isn't great as it's very loud. Still recommended due to cuisine and service

We were there this afternoon and the waitress was extremely rude. We waited to order and she ignored us for a long long time. We live in the same state and know how things should be. We ended up leaving the venue. It ruined the mood of my guests. Never again.

The food is delicious and the atmosphere is unique. The view of the Main Bridge is phenomenal. Clear recommendation. The vegetarian/vegan offering could be even larger.

Expected restaurant in this location. Food average, price wise in the higher segment. Service medium. Rating tends downward based on our experience. We were served by a person who had been in the restaurant for the first few days. We ordered a lovely wine. The bottle with label was shown, the wine was tasted and we confirmed it. In retrospect, we realized that it was not a sweet wine - which is also evident from the label... Until then, the error is undoubtedly on our side. You could solve it differently from a customer satisfaction perspective, but it doesn't have to. We then complained about this, the waitress confirmed her mistake and now had to involve her superior. The answer was: wine was taken away, therefore not a goodwill solution Conclusion for us: The restaurant is popular.
