Gasthaus Sonnenschein im Appel’s Max in Kronach

We celebrated our wedding at the Sonnenschein Inn and we're absolutely thrilled. The entire team is fantastic; we had such a wonderful celebration because everything was so well organized. The food was also delicious and was a huge hit with our guests.

A huge compliment to the entire team at Gasthaus Sonnenschein. We were able to enjoy our wedding to the fullest because everything ran smoothly, just as we had hoped. The service, the cuisine, the organization—everything was perfect. Thank you again for this wonderful day.

We've been to this restaurant several times and have always been very satisfied. The team is very professional and the food is very down-to-earth and delicious. The chef always comes to ask how the guests are, which I think is great. The service is fabulous. The prices are very reasonable for the quality. The atmosphere is very nice. We've always felt very comfortable and would love to come back.

It was really delicious and I can only recommend it 😋

Top-notch service and delicious food. Highly recommended.

Perfect organization from planning to execution of the catering for my birthday party with approximately 90 guests. Sunny and his team catered to my individual wishes and implemented everything 100%. I received nothing but praise and positive feedback from my guests. Dear Jörg, thank you and your team again for the delicious menu and the professional handling!

A wonderful, cozy restaurant with absolutely fantastic food! We had Gasthof Sonnenschein do the catering for our daughter's wedding. It was absolutely fantastic! The advice, the execution, the food, everything was simply fantastic!

We've eaten at Appels Max several times, and yesterday we celebrated our son's communion there. It was simply fantastic, as always. The service is excellent, requests are fulfilled, the staff is always kind and friendly, and the food is simply fabulous. We and our guests were extremely satisfied. A huge compliment to the entire team at Appels Max.

We ate here for the first time today with two adults and two children. The food came very quickly, even though it was quite busy. Everything was really good and beautifully presented. The three waitresses were very friendly and attentive. The ambiance was also nice. The price/performance ratio was absolutely reasonable. We'll definitely be back and can recommend it with a clear conscience.

I tried the loin at a wedding and it was absolutely amazing; I've never eaten such a good loin before! 😍

In my opinion, this is the best restaurant in Kronach. The food is truly excellent, and vegetarians and vegans also have a wide selection of really good food. Of course, there are also plenty of delicious dishes for meat and fish lovers. The beer garden is lovely. The interior is very cozy and tastefully decorated. The staff is incredibly friendly. Highly recommended!

Class reunion. Private room – we were alone. It was very nice. The food 🤩 was excellent. We received super friendly service even an hour after the restaurant closed. Thank you for the lovely evening yesterday.

On May 16, we visited the Gasthaus Sonnenschein near Appels Max in Kronach with our family. We'd heard a lot of praise, but finally wanted to see for ourselves. It was worth it. We received a very friendly and courteous welcome, hardly had to wait, the service was extremely attentive, the food was superbly presented and tasted excellent. The rump steak was cooked to perfection, the ox cheeks melted in your mouth, the asparagus dish was delicious, and the salmon and Skrei duet was a delight. The only downside that evening was our stomachs, which unfortunately couldn't handle any more of these outstanding delicacies. We'll definitely be back, as there are still many dishes on the menu that we absolutely want to try. A heartfelt thank you and a huge compliment to the outstanding chef and the fantastic team. You gave us a wonderful evening. E. Brückner and family

We celebrated our son's confirmation at the Sonnenschein Inn. All of our requests were taken into account in advance, we received excellent advice, and our questions via email, Instagram, etc. were answered quickly. On the day of the celebration, everything was perfectly prepared and our decorations were in place. The inn provided the floral arrangements. The food and service were top-notch! The prices are also absolutely fair. I definitely recommend it!

Beautiful restaurant with a great beer garden, highly recommended delicious cuisine (1a) and super friendly and attentive service...

***** simply great! Dear Sunny, I would like to thank you and your great team for the absolutely first-class catering for my birthday party (100 people). From the advice in advance, the selection of dishes, the planning and organization to the implementation on site, everything was perfectly organized, professional and extremely reliable. The barbecue on site was not only a culinary delight, but also a real experience thanks to your humorous nature. The quality, taste and presentation of the food was first class and left nothing to be desired. Our guests were thrilled and still rave about the excellent food and the great atmosphere. A huge thank you to the entire team for your commitment, your warmth and your skills. We recommend you without reservation and look forward to seeing you again!

Just great. Very friendly and non-intrusive service staff who ask questions at the right time. We'll definitely be back.

For me everything was great. everyone has to decide for themselves. There were many guests of all generations there. So it must be good.

We celebrated our birthday on April 21st. Guests were present, among others, from central Franconia and the Freiburg area. Everyone was unanimous in their opinion that the staff was very, very friendly, the wait was absolutely short and the food was absolutely delicious. We'll be back. Keep it up.

Beautiful. Great food. Incredibly nice staff. Prices reasonable.

Nice restaurant with super tasty dishes and great service.. Always happy..

Excellent food! Very nice staff! We felt very comfortable!

Perfect food, prices super reasonable, Service exemplary. All around perfect.

We celebrated our son's confirmation at the Sonnenschein guesthouse. Great restaurant with a nice atmosphere and very nice and fast service. The food was super tasty

Have been guests on several occasions. The food is always great, the service is very attentive and courteous and the hosts are very welcoming. The advice in advance is great and guarantees that the event runs smoothly. Feel free to come back at any time.

It's a nice restaurant with a nice atmosphere, the food was excellent and the service was very friendly and catered to every request. Can only be recommended!

We traveled by train from Thuringia to eat at the Sonnenschein restaurant. The service was super friendly, the food was a poem, just the way it was presented on the plates. What we thought was really great was that the chef even came to our table and greeted us personally 👌🏼 We'll definitely be back! Keep it up 👍🏼

Super delicious food. Prices reasonable. The service was very nice, courteous and not intrusive. Great ambience. Thank you for the lovely evening.

We had ordered catering for around 50 people for a birthday party. Pork loin, chicken breast and salmon with various side dishes and desserts. Everything went well organizationally and everything tasted great. Gladly again at any time 👍

Very good food, very good service

Very nice inn, great chef, very friendly with a great beer garden and brilliant dishes! Happy to come back! Kind regards from Middle Franconia

Great food again! The service staff are above average nice and attentive! All in all, I can really recommend it!! Great traditional inn👍

It was our wedding anniversary yesterday and we wanted to have a really nice and tasty meal again. Our choice fell on sunshine at Appels Max. We made the right decision. When I made the reservation, I asked that it be a little nicer (according to the occasion). That's exactly how it was implemented. The table was set with a white tablecloth and cloth napkins, candles and flowers completed the whole picture. The food was a dream. The service was very attentive, friendly and quick. It was a wonderful evening for my husband and I. Always happy and thanks to sunny and his whole team. Frank and Silvi

Super tasty and super nice staff like to come often because it's always delicious

Rump steak (medium rare) was delicious and can only be recommended! 5 stars to the chef!

Excellent food and very friendly staff

Sunny and his team are really on their toes! The food is great and the ambience is great too! Keep it up!😉

Very tasty food, great service, overall great! We celebrated our civil wedding there. Large portions, perfect service. No points of criticism.

Yesterday we spontaneously went to “Appels Max” and you can only give it 5 stars! The food was outstanding! A good selection of food! Short waiting time and super friendly service! The boss also asks if everyone is happy! We'll definitely be back!

Super lecker und mit Liebe zubereitet und angerichtet. Personal mega freundlich und zuvorkommend. Was mir auch total gut gefällt- der Chef kommt an den Tisch und erkundigt sich ob alles in Ordung war und hält ein kleines "Pläuschchen" mit den Gästen. Wir kommen öfter und sind immer sehr sehr zufrieden!

Very pleasant atmosphere, good Franconian beer from the area, food was delicious and the service was very friendly. Therefore full marks

Very tasty, very cozy and good service!

Dear Jörg, a big thank you to you and your entire team! The catering for our event is unparalleled in terms of processing, service and quality. Everyone was thrilled with the quality and taste of your food. We can recommend you and the Gasthaus Appels Max at any time without reservation.

Many thanks to the entire team 👍👏👏👏 - you are very attentive hosts and have a great kitchen! We went to the inn based on a recommendation (...thanks Katja)... and we pass this on without reservation! A little tip - due to the number of places, you should reserve in advance!

Price performance fits perfectly, always happy.

Food (sauerbraten) very good and plentiful. Staff very accommodating and friendly, even when making reservations by telephone. ... We would be happy to come back here again.

Super delicious food Very nice atmosphere and great service

Always happy when we are in Kronach.

Super delicious food, excellent service and always the feeling of being welcome.

Great varied menu, delicious food at reasonable prices, friendly service!! Reservation doesn't hurt if you want to be sure of a spot!!

Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeety food!!! Only recommended 👌 And the service was top too!!!

Nice restaurant with very nice and fast service. Friendly and accommodating. The food was nicely prepared and the portions were large enough. There was only a lot of room for improvement in terms of taste... Both main courses were enjoyable, but nothing that was particularly positive in your memory. It's a bit of a shame because the service team really did a good job.

Super delicious cuisine. Staff on the ball and friendly. Only recommended. 🍻

Super delicious 😋 Very nice staff. Highly recommended. We'll definitely be back.

The food and service are great, we and our guests were very happy. Everything went great at our wedding 👍🏻😊. We can only recommend it. Thanks

We had dinner catering for our wedding. We were very satisfied with the competent advice in advance, the setup and the delicious food. Thanks to the great advice, we had a varied buffet so that there was something for every taste. We loved the food and our guests were full of praise. The plates were empty. The delivery and collection worked great. The food was good hot as it was. The price-performance ratio was great. A very good price for the selection, quality, quantities and the great all-round service. Gladly again at any time. 👍

We were delivered food for our wedding from Gasthaus Sonnenschein to Cafè Kitsch. We felt very well advised and looked after right from the start and were not disappointed. Thanks to Jörg's warm and competent nature, it wasn't difficult for us to choose him as our caterer. The delivery was completely unproblematic and the food was extremely tasty. The critics among our wedding guests also praised the food from starter to dessert! We can highly recommend Jörg and his team and would book him again for a celebration at any time. So actually worth 10 stars 😊👍 Thanks again to Jörg and his entire team, you are great! Kind regards Stefan & Kris

The place is small but impressive... great themed rooms, rustic yet modern. Super friendly team and the food is really delicious. I'd love to come back 🫶🏼 But don't forget to reserve 🤗

A great service that you rarely find anymore, despite there being a wedding and birthday party that evening. The food was great and we can only recommend the restaurant. We wish the team all the best!🍀

Very good offer and food. Unfortunately a bit expensive I think. Otherwise great.

Very tasty roast venison and freshly tapped dark beer on tap. Highly recommended. Very friendly and fast service.

Great food! Beautifully located in the old town of Kronach. Only recommended

Absolute enjoyment. All dishes were 100% perfect. We'll be back.

Been there several times and always very good quality and delicious 🥰 Very nice staff and a boss who cares about his guests and asks at every table whether everything was OK. Just great

Unfortunately, the internet said it was open and we found ourselves in front of a locked door. It's a shame, we took a detour.

Efficient service, very tasty food and the children's wishes were also taken into account...what more could you want. Thank you very much and see you next time when we vacation in Kronach again.

We commissioned the Appels Max team to cater our wedding at our home and were very satisfied. The planning and preparation as well as most importantly, the food, were excellent! Thank you very much again for everything!

Moderate food. Lucas Cranach Schnitzel was a ready-made schnitzel with tasteless bacon cubes and gratinated with cheese. The onions were missing. A few fries that tasted extremely fatty. Not recommended for the price.

Food and service excellent! We will be back.

Inexpensive food, large portions, drinks cheap. Very good sauces (with salad and loin). Nice staff, flawless!

Found the restaurant via TripAdvisor, because we are vegetarian, we always check the menu first for options. There were enough of them. Until we got the small menu there, because the Grill was broken. Therefore, only a choice of two. Very sad and a bit disappointed. Couldn't the cook have said greetings in a different way? You don't just need a grill for vegetarian dishes.

Once again everything was great! Service and food are simply great! 3 people in the evening

Nice, quiet inn in the middle of Kronach's old town, we ordered lunch on Sunday and took a stroll through Kronich. I love game, so we had roast venison with mixed dumplings, i.e. Thuringian and bread dumplings. The game was buttery, the dumplings were a dream, with a Gampert, it was perfect. The chef personally asked everyone if they enjoyed it, it couldn't be more personal - definitely recommended

Very nice, cozy guesthouse with very friendly, nice staff. Excellent food. Highly recommended.

Rustic traditional restaurant that, thank God, breaks with the tradition of some of the previous owners - the food now tastes excellent, the service is attentive and friendly, the furnishings and details in the various guest rooms, even in the toilet, are lovingly selected and invite you to linger . In summer we recommend visiting the beer garden and especially the great snack.

On Saturday June 15th we were able to celebrate lunch as part of our civil wedding at the Gasthaus Sonnenschein. Our wishes, which we had expressed in advance, were responded to very lovingly. Your team also mastered the time pressure we had excellently. All in all we had a lovely time. The food and drinks were excellent. The service was very friendly and attentive. That's exactly how you want it. Thank you for this wonderful time with you. Kind regards🙂👋

Best place in town The man knows a thing or two about cooking and especially steaks 😊👍🏽

What I don't think is great is that you have to order the salad separately, salad isn't automatically included with any dish!🤔

Dear Gasthaus Sonnenschein team, we were able to celebrate our wedding with you and it was fantastic! Everything, from the organization, to the food and drinks, the service, the ambience, was just perfect. Can just be recommended! Many, many thanks to everyone involved!!

Highly recommended catering. Sunny, his Jemny and the whole team took over the catering for our wedding. Planning, preparation, organization and, last but not least, the food and drinks were first class. We would rely on Sunny again at any time and leave the organization to him. In addition to the pure catering, he helped us organize the location at Rosenberg Fortress, provided us with the photographer, DJ, carriage, photo box and much more. All in all, he ensured a successful celebration and made it possible for us to organize our wedding, even though we live abroad and were only able to arrive two weeks before the date. First class! Thank you so much for everything!

Nice place! The food was very tasty and the staff was very nice :) There are vegan/vegetarian options too!

Very pleasant staff. You should make reservations as the restaurant is busy. I had cooked roulades with dumplings excellently, the chef usually comes personally to get feedback. Thank you, I would happily recommend this restaurant.

Small but nice menu. Eat good. Attentive and professional service. There are several separate rooms available that are ideal for family celebrations. Recommendation!

Very friendly and courteous service, and the children's wishes were also addressed directly and in a friendly manner. The food was very tasty, plentiful and inexpensive. We ate there with 7 people and everyone found something tasty. On the second evening we went to another restaurant, but the conclusion was that everyone liked it better at the Sonnenschein guesthouse.

We celebrated our son's communion at the Sonnenschein guesthouse. Everything was great, the food, the hospitality, everything. Above all, the hospitality was amazing. Many thanks again to the entire team ❤️

Absolutely recommended, super good food, everyone was very friendly! Any time! Sunny just has it! 👍

The salmon steak tonight was the finest. Respect 💪

Delicious food - Nice staff Special requests were fulfilled without any problems - I can really recommend it!!!

The food was very good Nice atmosphere and very clean Nice service, friendly employees

We celebrated my 60th birthday here with 15 guests. Ate a la carte, very tasty schnitzel variants, asparagus dishes and much more! Everything at its best! The service was super friendly and everything worked! It couldn't have been better, I'd love to come back!

We had a family celebration at Appel's Max at the weekend. It was just great. The food was great and plentiful. The service is great. We will be back definitely. Just great. Big praise to the whole team.

Very nice and quick service. When preparing the roasts, I miss the love of cooking. The chef has to learn the dumplings first. The Bröckela definitely belong in the toilet, not on top.

Everything was really great here. Food delicious, service great. Service very attentive and accommodating.

We were able to enjoy the rack of lamb today, thank you very much for that 🥰

"Unfortunately" it was our first time here - but after this evening it certainly won't be the last time! The ambience is absolutely harmonious, the rustic atmosphere of the past paired with modern furnishings, all in all very cozy and invites you to linger. The 3-person service team was top, even if quite young, but still very professional, attentive and friendly. All special requests were received with a smile on their faces and implemented 1:1, other restaurants should learn a lesson from this. The food was excellent!!! We (four of us) had a total of 8 different dishes, all of which were very tasty, prepared with high-quality ingredients, the kitchen knows what it is doing, so the price/performance ratio is more than justified! Team Sonnenschein has definitely won us over as regular guests, thank you for that, and we can recommend them without hesitation ⭐⭐⭐⭐👍🏻

An inn to feel good. Fantastic - lovingly prepared food. The service is excellent.

Very friendly and attentive service. Kitchen top

Sunday lunchtime was very good 👍

Super friendly and attentive service. Very nice boss and incredibly good food. Rarely eaten so well.

Great team, very friendly, attentive and accommodating! We really enjoyed the food and our special requests were well catered for. Thanks! Lovely again. P.S.: In summer there is a really great beer garden right in the heart of the city.
