Gasthaus Alte Mainmühle in Würzburg

The food was fantastic and the view was beautiful. During the meal the waitress was attentive, pleasant and interested in us. We moved to the indoor restaurant because of the wasps, after the meal we felt no interest from the staff. We wanted to order coffee and desserts, but we waited up to 40 minutes for the desserts, while it seemed that they were not even ready yet. In the end we had to cancel them and pay for them, without any compensation offered. I am sorry that in such a nice restaurant with a pleasant atmosphere and higher prices the staff seemed inattentive. We would have liked to have more drinks, but instead we sat at an empty table and waited. We visit the restaurant more often, but this time it was unfortunately the worst attitude we have experienced. Similarly, half a year ago, when we were a larger group of 13 people - we ordered bottles of wine, but there was no one to refill our glasses.

A perfect place for food and drinks. The service is exceptionally excellent. The food was incredibly delicious. In addition to the savory dishes, the sorbet is particularly recommended 🥰, as is the super friendly and attentive service.

A lovely restaurant for summer days on the terrace. The service is good, professional, and fast, and the food is delicious! The view directly onto the Main Bridge and the Main River is truly spectacular and truly special. We had a great time.

Delicious wine for takeaway sales against a deposit. The wine can be enjoyed on the bridge in great weather.

I wanted to sit by the bridge as I wanted to get a seat with the view. I would like to document it. My kids didn’t want to be outside so they were sitting inside- I asked for a separate bill - but they didn’t accommodate - and they wanted me to sit with my family as they said some people might want my seat. In the end, we walked out. I wonder if I’m by myself just as I requested.. would they ask me to move? I guess not. The place was quite empty - but because I came in with my kids- they needed me to just sit with my family. Food - not sure if it’s good coz we left

Gasthaus Alte Mainmühle – Würzburg I had the pleasure of enjoying the late summer menu – a true highlight in terms of flavor! Each course was finely balanced and of high quality, making the meal a complete culinary experience. The only minor drawback was the timing: the first break between courses dragged on forever, while dessert followed almost seamlessly. A little more consistency would have enhanced the experience even further. The location itself is fantastic: perfectly situated on the Main River, overlooking the old Main Bridge and – if you're lucky with the weather – a breathtaking view up to the fortress from the terrace. It's no surprise that this location is reflected in the price – but you get very good food in a special atmosphere. The service was very friendly and visibly attentive, which pleasantly compensated for the minor inconsistencies in the menu. All in all: a worthwhile visit, especially on the terrace in the sunshine – a place where food, view, and atmosphere come together to create a special experience.

The food was incredible the service was outstanding and the scenery and atmosphere was amazing!

We ordered three Schäufele and the meal was a disaster, or rather the best was the Wirsching. I would not have expected that given the price range or from this restaurant, we paid 107€.

Beautifully located right next to the Old Main Bridge. Excellent service!

The food and ambience were satisfactory, but the service unfortunately left a lot to be desired.

We were at the Mane Mühle last Saturday evening. We wanted to swap seats because it was very cold on the balcony. Unfortunately, the manager told us this wasn't possible because everything was reserved. However, this wasn't the case, and during our entire stay, three tables remained empty, which we would have gladly moved to. So, the employee responsible for reserving and assigning tables was out of place and has no business being in that position. Everything else: top-notch!

Great location in an ancient place. What's on offer here is magnificent. The influence of tourists is certainly noticeable. But you laugh it off. Food, drinks, and service: first-class! Thank you I'd be happy to come back again…

I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT AT ALL. The service was terrible. The DINNING ROOM MANAGER who greets customers at the door seated us at an interior table with no view. Since there was a free table overlooking the river, I asked THIS PERSON to change us, but HE said it was impossible since that table was for more people, so we remained seated at the same table. At the table next to us, a couple who arrived much later than we had sat down. To our surprise, they asked to change their table and were moved without any problem. It was outrageous. I stood up and politely expressed my dissatisfaction to THIS PERSON, but HE simply ignored me. Later, we noticed that when another waiter asked him about what had happened, THIS PERSON gesticulated and made contemptuous gestures toward us. Honestly, we would have left if we hadn't already ordered our food and our politeness prevented us from doing so. It is incredible... We have travelled to lots of countries and we have never received this unpleasant and contemptuous treatment, and especially from a waiter, given that you are the one paying for the service. You don't go to a restaurant to suffer this lack of respect. It says very little about this place. To top it all off, the food was mediocre and very expensive, so the service was terrible and the relationship quality/ prize was very bad. Not at all recommended.... 0

We were there on a Friday evening. The location was fantastic, right by the bridge. Our service was also excellent, very friendly, and joined in the fun. And the food was even more amazing. For a special occasion, we ordered the summer menu each. It was very tasty and creative. It was great value for money. We'll be back next time.

Stick to the wine! Get a glass of wine from the window and enjoy the views from the bridge. We tried three appetizers that sounded great but fell flat. First, the camembert cheese was actually a pimento cheese. The ice cream with char sounded very intriguing but overall, the dish lacked flavor. It could only be described as bland. The burrata with peach and mint pesto, the wine, and the view saved the meal. But for the 85 € tab, even taking into account the elevated prices due to location/view, we say skip the restaurant and enjoy an excellent glass of wine on the bridge.

A very nice restaurant with a fantastic view of Marienberg Fortress from the terrace. The food is fresh and delicious. Whether fish, meat, or vegetarian, everyone was very satisfied. The service was very friendly despite the large number of guests.

Nice restaurant with great food and service. Located centrally in the historic Wurzburg, Germany

Highly recommended. We just enjoyed the well-chilled wines and the great views and atmosphere, like almost everyone else.

The evening began with excellent wines on the bridge. Even without a reservation, we were seated on the balcony overlooking the water and the bridge. We've rarely eaten food of such high quality. Even seemingly simple dishes were beautifully presented and wonderfully prepared. The high prices are absolutely justified. Don't let the crowds of tourists put you off!

The food was very good. The waiter could have been a bit friendlier.

Watch out!!! Don't order on a stool inside near the entrance if you plan to have a drink outside, because you'll pay an extra €9 for two drinks. If you tell them you don't want this and you want to consume your drinks outside, you're out of luck. No refund, no matter what you say. Not customer-friendly, and it's our last time.

Dinner in perfect weather and a great atmosphere. The food was delicious, but unfortunately, the service was abysmal. After dinner, the waitress came over without asking with four glasses of schnapps and told us they were on the house. Unfortunately, he was subsequently charged for three glasses, and he told us he meant only his schnapps was not charged. We weren't reimbursed for these either, but we were fobbed off with an undrinkable soft drink. I won't go there again...

Wonderfully fresh, I especially liked the vegetables. I don't mean to diminish the fish, though. The service here doesn't have an easy time with some of the guests. That's probably the 1-star reviews, definitely not the fault of the restaurant and/or the service. Keep it up and don't let it get to you – keep it up.

Terrible service! They throw people out if they haven't ordered food!!

The view of the river and the bridge is truly beautiful. Unfortunately, the service is completely off-key. He hangs his butt on our plates at the waitress next door and is so rude, it's a real bummer...

Paying €150 for three schnitzels, a beer, and a glass of wine was truly shocking—especially when the tables were so close together. I wasn't satisfied at all.

The food was good, but I had to add more seasoning to the goulash. I'd never tried that before. The service, though, was excellent! The atmosphere, right on the Main, was fantastic. The delicious beer drove the price up a bit...^^

We came as a family to relax, but unfortunately, despite the good food, we experienced terrible service and rude treatment from the waiter, even though we were friendly to him from the start. I think this kind of service shouldn't be expected in a restaurant like this. We are very disappointed, and our mood has unfortunately been spoiled.

This is the place to explore local cuisine and enjoy the view. I had ordered cabbage with sausages - incredibly tasty and quick!

Cozy and highly recommended. The food was very good 👍 The service was prompt and friendly. Maybe a little too loud for larger groups. But I would definitely visit again.

This was a fantastic place to have dinner while staying in Würzburg. We sat outside on the terrace and enjoyed watching the river pass by and the people walking across the bridge. The food was excellent and I was very happy to have the salad with burrata cheese on it!

Excellent service, excellent food, excellent ambience.

A very cozy and atmospheric restaurant right on the Main River – Gasthaus Alte Mainmühle surprises not only with delicious food but also with a stunning view. We were lucky enough to sit outside on the suspended terrace over the water, which was a wonderful experience in itself. The sound of the river, the picturesque landscape, and the beautiful architecture of the old town create an unforgettable atmosphere. 🍽️ The food – a feast for the senses! ➡️ Homemade pasta with Tafelspitz (tenderly cooked beef), creamy horseradish sauce, and cranberries – a surprising combination of flavors that come together perfectly. ➡️ Classic Viennese Schnitzel with cranberries and lemon – crispy, well-seasoned, and perfectly cooked. ➡️ And the desserts were also fantastic: a mango sorbet on coconut cream with herbs and spices, and a classic crème brûlée with raspberry sorbet – light, refreshing, and beautifully presented. 👩‍🍳 The service was very friendly, smiling, and helpful. Everything went smoothly, and the food was served on time. ✨ If you're in Würzburg, I highly recommend this restaurant – perfect for a quiet lunch or a romantic dinner with a view. We'll definitely be back!

Unfortunately, we had a bad experience at the Mainmühle today. Since we need an accessible restaurant due to a wheelchair, we made a reservation shortly in advance. They assured us over the phone that everything, including the restrooms, was wheelchair accessible. We immediately received a text message with confirmation. When we arrived, the staff initially ignored us until they told us the elevator was broken. We therefore had to quickly find an alternative restaurant. We are truly disappointed and will not be returning.

Dinner with THE view of Fortress Marienberg and the iconic Main Bridge, but also with incredibly slow and rather inattentive service. After being warmly welcomed (only table inside on a slower Sunday evening) and seated by a gentleman, our early arriving party was not offered drinks/served until the missing two joined way later: our waitress wasn’t busy, but just didn’t seem to care. Food was freshly prepared, well presented and tasty, but missing the wow factor given the hefty price tag. Appetizer portions are on the small side. Biggest reason for just four star was however the barebones service and often empty glasses. If your waitress rather chats with her colleagues than…

A very expensive menu. Wiener schnitzel for €33, rump steak for €33, each plus €7 for fried potatoes for a truly mediocre meal is pretty bold. The schnitzel was okay, but the rump steak, which was ordered rare, was medium at best and very fatty. The fried potatoes were a mess. For that price, I'd happily eat elsewhere. Unfortunately, this level of quality is now pervasive in many restaurants in Würzburg. The quality is considerably better at the Bürgerspital and various Italian restaurants.

We stopped here and had a fantastic meal. Our server recommended a nice riesling which was not only reasonably priced, but a nice pour as well. We then told him we were tired of sausages and kraut and wanted a recommendation on a lunch. He recommended either the pork shoulder or the boiled veal with horseradish sauce. We ordered one of each and they were fantastic! The pork and veal were so tender and the sauces were wonderful. Unfortunately there was more than we could eat, but we finished the meats. We later came back for a glass of wine to drink on the Wine Bridge. Fantastic place to visit, but skip breakfast if you're having lunch there!

We didn't have a reservation, but the staff still managed to get us a table on the balcony. The view of the Main River and the bridge was fabulous. The service, staff, and food were top-notch.

We went there as a group for dinner last night. We had made a reservation. The service was very good and attentive. I had the burrata as a starter and the shoulder of pork for the main course. It was truly a treat. I've rarely eaten so well. I would give the food six stars if that were possible.

Friendly staff, delicious food, and a beautiful view of the old bridge and Marienberg Fortress. We'd gladly return.

The staff member initially told us we should have waited up front, and he did so in a very arrogant and unfriendly manner. After we told him we only wanted a drink, he grudgingly told us we couldn't sit on the upper balcony, as it was reserved only for guests who wanted something to eat. The lady who served us was extremely friendly and accommodating, although she was also reprimanded before us.

Booked a table on the balcony with a view of the Maine and the old Main Bridge. A little cramped between the tables but we were able to order quickly and the food and drinks came very quickly. Nice staff who made various recommendations. Large portions.

The vegetarian pointed peppers weren't worth the visit. The portion was very small, expensive, and not particularly tasty.

We waited about 15 minutes for a table. The table was on the terrace, and the view was beautiful. The service was terrible. The waitress very rudely told me to put the water bottle in my bag. I only had a small clutch bag with me. A water bottle doesn't really fit in there. It was 35 degrees outside, and I can't imagine how anyone could go outside without water in that heat. We waited until someone came and took our order. After 20 minutes, we still couldn't order anything. No drinks, and no food. After spending a total of 40 minutes in the restaurant, we left without ordering anything. Unbelievable. The prices for the dishes are very high, and the arrogance of the waiters is completely out of keeping with the restaurant's standards.

Top location with wonderful food and very friendly service - would go back anytime!

Great view and friendly service Good, home-style cooking at relatively high prices

perfect restaurant for a trip to the Middle Ages

The ambience is, of course, the highlight. Both the location and the interior are truly beautiful. The service during our visit was very friendly and attentive. We found it slightly confusing that, although there seemed to be many waiters, only one seemed to be taking our order at any one time. Drinks took correspondingly longer to arrive when there's only one waiter for a group of 30 people. The food itself tasted really good, but the quantity could have been a bit larger, especially given the hefty prices. It was also annoying that the side salad didn't arrive until after the main course. It can happen, but it shouldn't in an upscale restaurant. I would give the restaurant another chance, though. Regarding the outside sales: During busy times on the bridge, the wine sales at the outside counter are clearly undersized; you have to wait forever for your turn. And at least in our case, a poor saleswoman had to handle the orders, filling the glasses, and returning the deposit all by herself. I felt really sorry for her

Very good, everything very comfortable

Delicious food in a unique setting! Located right on the Main Bridge in an old mill, it offers a rustic atmosphere and great service! Reservations are recommended.

Dry Aged Beef Tenderloin! The Best...!

A wonderful evening at the Alte Meinmühle Inn with a stunning view of the river. The cream of asparagus soup with cress was delicately seasoned and very creamy. The marinated Bavarian heifer fillet and tartare were tender and flavorful. The sorbet trilogy with mango, rhubarb, and raspberry was fruity and fresh and perfect. The friendly service and harmonious ambiance rounded off the visit wonderfully.

There is a restaurant inside, and the bar outside sells wine by the glass. The food was average, but I liked the view of the bridge. The service was friendly. I came out and had a glass of wine, and the wine was really good. You have to pay a deposit of 5 euros per glass, and you get 5 euros back when you return it. I had the Silvaine at the top of the menu, and the Rosé below that.

Always beautiful, excellent cuisine and great wines from the region.

Small portions for a big price, the food itself was good

We picked up some Franconian wine here for our bridge shopping trip. The selection was okay.

We've never been inside; so far, we've only ever made it to the sidewalk stall, where we've bought ourselves a glass of wine to sip on the Old Main Bridge, if you can even describe it as being among dozens of like-minded people. Regarding "dozens," it was manageable this time 😊

Reserved a table for four at lunchtime. We had a beautiful view. The food was very good, and the drinks were delicious and well chilled. The service was friendly and attentive.

The inn is located directly at the bridgehead of the old Main Bridge and is a perfect place to stop for a bite to eat. Due to its popularity as a tourist destination, however, it's quite cramped and noisy inside, as they understandably try to accommodate as many guests as possible. The staff was friendly and accommodating. However, the prices and portion sizes didn't always meet our expectations. There was nothing particularly wrong with the taste, but some of the prices were a bit too high for us (e.g., a salad - just leaf lettuce and some carrot for €15). The dishes on the daily specials menu are an exception. These were really good, plentiful, and reasonably priced.

Really nice place and food so tasty ! A must go in Wurzburg but better make a reservation.

We went there for lunch yesterday. I had the three-course menu, and everything was very good. Fine, modern cuisine, good, homemade sauces. The service was very friendly and quick, and the seating was lovely with a view of the Main River and the bridge. Everything was great!

My girlfriend and I went to the Alte Mainmühle today. We ordered beer, a latte macchiato, and two portions of meatballs. After the meal, we were severely poisoned and had long-term health problems. The food was obviously spoiled. In addition, the staff was very unfriendly and rude, with no willingness to help or apologize. We are very disappointed and cannot recommend this place.

Best location on the Main River. Service and drinks were good.

After our wedding ceremony in the Grafeneckartturm with over 60 guests, we held a champagne reception at the Alte Mainmühle via the famous sales window – and it was simply fantastic! The communication beforehand was reliable and friendly, and everything went smoothly on site. The team was superbly organized and welcoming. For us, it was the perfect start to our wedding celebration – in a venue with a unique atmosphere. We absolutely recommend it!

Very delicious food, good service The stewed pork melts in your mouth and the potatoes are very tasty Overall very good!

The best schaeufele I have ever eaten the meat top quality the Franconian wine super

We had reserved a table outside so we could enjoy the beautiful view. When we arrived, we were ignored for 10 minutes apart from a brief comment that someone would be there soon. A man came and showed us our table inside in the corner. When I asked whether we had reserved an outside table, I received a very unfriendly reply: "Yes, but I saw it's wet." This was correct. It had rained an hour earlier, but by then everything had cleared up. In this kind of high-priced restaurant, I expect the tables to be dried out, or at least a friendlier greeting. The food was delicious and our service was very friendly.

I was visiting the beautiful city of Würzburg with a friend, and we both wanted to eat typical Franconian food! We found it here! Great location, super friendly staff, and what can I say, outstanding food! I would definitely recommend this restaurant!

Very nice place to eat well and enjoy the hustle and bustle on the bridge

Also has a bar right on the bridge.

The shoulder of pork was very tasty, especially the savoy cabbage as a side dish. The service was very nice and friendly.

We didn't have a reservation and were assigned a very nice place. Unfortunately, the so-called "wedding dinner" wasn't warm. The noodles were cold and the beef was only lukewarm. So there's still a lot of room for improvement when it comes to eating... also when it comes to the choice of food, there wasn't much that you would have liked to order.

Hospitality is different. The seats outside were well occupied but there were still a few free. Inside the inn, all tables were free and not reserved. We wanted to sit here as a couple at a table that also offered a nice view of the outside. We were asked to free it up because it would be suitable for 4 people and we were asked to sit in a back corner. So we left the empty restaurant. Never, never again!!!

The one star only exists because we found it. What's great here is a wheelchair symbol in the description. But with a wheelchair you can only get to the entrance and no further Of course you can buy something to eat or drink outside at the bar table. But the standing table is of course much too high for a wheelchair. But fortunately Würzburg has other locations.

I can only warmly recommend the Mainmühle to everyone. We recently celebrated our wedding there and are overjoyed with everything. Food, service, ambience - I can highly recommend it to everyone.

The place is ideal to eat during the day and drink wine in the evening with a view of the sunset and the old bridge

Very nice place outside. Nice view on the bridge. Possibility to book online.

Very nice setting on the old bridge. We didn't have a reservation, so we waited a while for a table. Perfect service, good food and excellent Weissbier. There is a bit of a cold wind from outside at the door, I recommend taking a table further away from the main entrance.

Food was very tasty There was wild garlic soup, rabbit with polenta, asparagus and baby carrots

Food good, service also ok, unfortunately reserving a table for three is a catastrophe, as you are then seated in the middle at a table for two, despite having made a reservation and requesting a table with a view of the Main.

It’s a pity that we were unlucky with the weather and the terrace was closed, but the service and food left an unforgettable experience!!! For information: it is very simple and easy to reserve a table for a convenient time

Super delicious food, lots of selection of regional dishes. And nice, quick service despite the restaurant being full

The food was very good, the service to the guests was friendly but unfortunately the tone among the guests was very unpleasant. There were probably new holiday employees there who were pointed out their mistakes in an unpleasant way. I also work with trainees and interns, but I wouldn't talk to them like that, and certainly not in front of customers at all. The lady at the next table also noticed it. I'll choose another place next time.

Terrible girl serving wine at the front, looks like she was doing a huge favor, but at the end I was buying the wine.

The three of us actually wanted to eat there today. Went into the restaurant which was completely empty and accidentally walked past the sign indicating that it was being placed. Were immediately shouted at in a very unfriendly tone... whether we hadn't seen the, in their words, "huge" sign... and why we just walk in. We immediately turned back and ate very well at the competition. Service -5 stars Unfortunately I can't rate the rest.

We celebrated our civil wedding in this wonderful restaurant - and it was simply perfect. From the first contact to the big day, we were treated warmly, professionally and with great attention to detail. The food was an absolute highlight: fresh, refined, beautifully presented and consistently delicious. Our guests are still talking about it today! Even special requests were fulfilled with a smile. The service: unobtrusive, attentive, fast – simply great all around. We felt like we were in good hands at all times and were able to enjoy our day to the fullest. A huge thank you to the entire team – you made our day unforgettable!

Ate again in the Alte Mainmühle. Even if the price is a little more expensive here, the Mainmühle is still recommended. The food is of good quality and the service is very friendly. When making a reservation you should try to get a table on the balcony. Here you have a beautiful view of the Main and of course the fortress.

Very good food, friendly service and especially on the terrace you have a great view of the bridge and the fortress!

As foodies, on the occasion of our wedding anniversary we decided to return to this place, which used to have very good cuisine, but then lost its quality over the years: today, unfortunately, another disappointment! A restaurant that strives for originality and fine cuisine, but does not achieve what it sets out to do in terms of taste. Even the regional dishes are not at the expected level, the meat quality was poor today, the wild garlic soup was sour and didn't taste like wild garlic. However, the dishes are prepared very tastefully. Too bad!

The service was extremely friendly and the restaurant, right on the Main Bridge in the heart of the city, exudes a pleasant atmosphere. Unfortunately, the Wiener Schnitzel wasn't entirely convincing. Unfortunately, it was consistently tough and did not have the tender, juicy texture that you would expect from a real Wiener Schnitzel. And paying almost €70 (2x €33.90) for it unfortunately spoils the overall impression considerably.

Good food and friendly service in a relaxed atmosphere.

Excellent cuisine. Service could be a bit more abrupt at times. But still very professional and friendly!

Here it's the location of the restaurant that matters. Suitable with visitors. But way too expensive for the size of the portions!

Everything was fine except for a hair in the food That's why only 3 stars, otherwise 5

Very nice atmosphere in a beautiful city. The view from our place was wonderful. The decor is very comfortable, the food is good, the selection is plentiful, and the prices are reasonable. Really nice restaurant that I can highly recommend.

I was afraid that the excellent location might compromise the quality of the restaurant, but no: the service was fast, precise and kind. The food was tasty and honest. The view is simply magnificent.

A very nice atmosphere where you can enjoy eating out. The food was exceptionally good and highly recommended.

Super delicious Aperol Spritz for bridge shopping! Service was also very nice 😉

Not directly recommended with small children. The view is incredible, the food is delicious. Service was ok.

Very friendly service. Very concerned about the guests. The food was excellent. When reserving a table online, “Date” could be selected. The table then stood in a niche. So that was really taken into account. Highly recommended
