Gasthaus Zum Mohren in Ansbach

We visited the Gasthaus Zum Mohren in Ansbach and were absolutely thrilled! The duck was simply amazing – crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside, just as it should be. The Käsespätzle (cheese spaetzle) and the schnitzel were also superb – you can taste the passion and skill that goes into cooking here. The service was incredibly friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was cozy and inviting, with a traditional Franconian flair. We wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant – authentic Franconian cuisine at its finest! We will definitely be back – a true highlight in Ansbach! 🍽️👏

The pork shoulder was okay, but the gravy was inedible and extremely salty. You can easily make gravy from the meat juices; you don't need those packets, because that's where the gravy came from. If you don't want to serve fresh dumplings, you shouldn't bother. All in all, a disaster for almost 19 euros.

The staff is always attentive and exceptionally helpful. The food is good to very good, with a varied selection.

Delicious food in a rustic atmosphere! The sauce in the shoulder of pork is divine! The service is very, very friendly!

A beautifully located restaurant in the heart of Ansbach with a harmonious ambiance that perfectly complements the modern interpretation of Franconian cuisine. We had the duck – with a truly delicious sauce. Overall, the food was high-quality and well-presented. The friendly and attentive staff deserves special mention – we felt completely welcome. Unfortunately, the sanitary facilities were a downside. The restrooms are clearly showing their age, dirty tile joints, and an overall unkempt appearance mar the otherwise very positive impression. Especially after a good meal, this is an unpleasant contrast. A renovation would not only be appropriate here, but also a sign of appreciation for the guests. In conclusion: A visit is worthwhile – for the food and the service. With a little more attention to details beyond the plate, it would be perfect.

We were at the market and wanted a drink. The guidebook recommended the Mohren. Unfortunately, you can only sit down if you're also eating. Drinking only is not allowed—what a disappointment, even though the restaurant was empty. Conclusion: embarrassing, embarrassing—there are alternatives.

Good food, always friendly, reliable, open every day.

If you're in Ansbach, you should definitely stop here. A very pleasant atmosphere and excellent food with friendly service. What more could you want...

Delicious food, mushroom soup was amazing!

Was not expecting it to be this good - usually restaurants in touristy areas with so much seating don’t offer such high quality. We ordered the Mohren salad, Pfifferling noodles, and sauerbraten. Not only were they all excellent, they came quickly, and the presentation was beautiful. I both cook and eat a lot of German cuisine and was impressed with the taste of the gravy and the quality of the meat. I will make this place a regular occurrence when out with guests that want regional cuisine. The imagine and name of the restaurant are remnants of confused elements of African cultural appropriation which is not appropriate today.

Nice staff. I had roast pork, but unfortunately the food came lukewarm and the meat was a bit tough, and the potato salad lacked flavor. The pike-perch fish was good, but some of the vegetables were overcooked.

Very friendly service and delicious Franconian food.

Beautiful beer garden with a pleasant atmosphere. The Franconian bratwurst on my plate was truly delicious. The service was friendly and attentive despite the large number of guests; overall, a very pleasant visit.

I was here for lunch today and I'm absolutely thrilled! The chanterelle sauce was incredibly delicious – not only was there plenty, but the chanterelles were also top-quality. ​Despite the crowds, the service was very friendly and quick, which made the visit even more enjoyable. The beer garden is authentic and cozy. I'll definitely be back!

I just happened to watch this and it seems relaxing

Beer garden with delicious food and good service

Highly recommended. A lovely beer garden, generous portions, lovingly prepared, and sooooo delicious. Excellent service. They always check on guests to see if they need anything else. We'd love to come back.

Great beer garden, friendly, attentive service. The shovel with two dumplings was delicious. The small side salad was delicious and only €3.

Very good food. I'll be back again and again.

Centrally located in Ansbach's city center. Outdoor area/beer garden under trees. Spacious, plenty of tables/seats. Attentive and friendly staff. The food was good, but not exceptional. Prices: typical for well-located and well-frequented restaurants. A recommended place for a snack/rest. Meeting with friends, etc.

We ate there today. In the beer garden, which is very nice. I ordered bread dumplings with chanterelle sauce and whipped cream. For a whopping €23.90. By the way, the prices online don't match the prices in the restaurant. I just noticed that now... I got a cream soup with a bread dumpling and, believe it or not, about 5 chanterelles. When I "complained," all I heard was "Sorry." Yes, the waitress couldn't help it—but she could have talked to the manager and they could have given a small discount on the cream soup... At least show some "goodwill." But no such thing! On the other hand, the salads that two people ate were covered in chanterelles and tasted good, too. I won't be going back to that restaurant anytime soon—if I even go back there again...

A great beer garden and delicious food. One of the best restaurants Ansbach has to offer.

The blue squash were delicious, something different. The service was very friendly and efficient. The ambiance was cozy and rustic, typical of Franconia. We'd be happy to go again.

The food, as always, was delicious and the portions were generous. The staff was very friendly and very quick. They deserve their tips. Our family always enjoys eating there.

I booked a table for two, and we got a small table. The menu arrived quickly, and the drinks and food didn't take long to arrive. Unfortunately, the menu wasn't up-to-date, and some dishes weren't available at all, as they were simply out of stock. Unfortunately, our empty glasses were ignored, so we only had one drink. As we passed by, we managed to stop the waiter and ask for the bill. The atmosphere is nice, the food is good, but the service is still lacking, so it doesn't get full marks.

Definitely a must-see in Ansbach! Top!

We stumbled upon the restaurant by accident. It was completely full. The waiter found us a table despite not having a reservation and helped us choose local delicacies. The food was very good, and the red cabbage seasoned with cloves was simply delicious. It had a lovely local atmosphere. I highly recommend it :-)

Long waiting times, food listed on the menu but not available, bratwurst as black as coal and therefore inedible - NEVER AGAIN.

My wife and I ate at this restaurant on three different evenings whilst visiting friends in Ansbach; I cannot say enough about the place and its staff. If we were not returning to the States tomorrow we would be back repeatedly, and that is guaranteed. If you doubt the veracity of my claims, read my other reviews and you will see II have to have a good experience to gush as I am about to. In fairness I have not read any other reviews of the place, so I do not understand why anyone rated it below a 5. Finding it was a happy accident on a trip to Europe that saw us find two restaurants recomended by a popular mapping program which my wife and I are now convinced is rigged. Pros: ======== -A very friendly, if over-worked, staff. -Ample seating indoor and out -Literally everything we tried, both food and drink, was very tasty, and we each ordered different dishes every time. -They serve authentic Franconian fare. If you want American - or other styles of food - go someshere else. Better yet, visit that country. When in Rome... -Their service is prompt and friendly. -Their prices are reasonable. -Their bathroom is free. Cons ======== -They are located thousands of miles from my home. :( Yes, that really is my only complaint.

I love Ansbach; it's a simply beautiful city, and it's right across the Mohren Bridge, and everything is perfect. The food is great and the service is very friendly. Even when it's busy, the food is always very attentive. The food is excellent, five stars! Highly recommend the salads in this warm weather; they're fresh and taste great!

A very nice beer garden, offering pleasant temperatures even in the hottest weather. The interior is also very attractive. Despite the large number of guests, the service was attentive, friendly, and quick. The food was fantastic 😋 We'd love to go back!

Very good sausages. Best sauerkraut ever!

You arrive in Ansbach from far away, unsuspecting, hungry and thirsty, and you realize: today is the Ansbach City Festival, and tables are reserved everywhere, and you're either sympathetically or mercilessly turned away. No chance. Except in the beer garden at Zum Mohren, where they say: we'll find a spot for you. The home-style food was excellent and served quickly. Not only that, but our server – a young man – was really nice and funny, despite the obvious stress of the day of the city festival – compliments. Delicious food – great service – shady spot – all around perfect.

Immer einen Besuch wert. Freundlichkeit ist selbstverständlich. Danke an das Mohren Team.

Absolutely outrageous – never again! We specifically ordered in advance, drove off, and then – completely out of the blue – this “restaurant” calls and simply says: “Yes, your order isn’t being processed right now, you can’t come.” Are you serious?! You plan, drive there specifically, take your time – and then this happens? What kind of customer service is this? Zero organization, zero professionalism, zero decency. This kind of behavior isn’t just outrageous, it’s simply disrespectful. Anyone who treats people this way should ask themselves whether they should even run a business. Once and never again – and I’ll tell everyone I know exactly that.

We were there at lunchtime, which was peak time, so unfortunately we had to wait a long time for our food. My second drink was also forgotten for a long time. I was still wondering about the timing of when something was served, but the portions were large and the food was delicious. The staff was friendly. We didn't want to sit in the beer garden, preferring to sit inside... but being so close to the door to the beer garden (a kind of winter garden) isn't very cozy - it's also a bit drafty. We would visit the restaurant again, though, if the opportunity arose. Hence, 4/5 stars.

Friendly service and excellent food. Highly recommended.

We were there with a larger group. The food is always delicious. Great service.

We were in the beer garden, so I can only comment on that area. The ambiance is very harmonious, with a great location behind the city wall, between linden and chestnut trees. There are plenty of tables, all beautifully shaded, and some are even covered. The service is good, although it took a bit of time for the food to arrive. The food was very good, with something for everyone on the menu. The drinks selection was also good. The prices are quite reasonable. Overall, a great beer garden, just what you'd want.

I was there alone, the waitress brought me to the table, then they made me sit there for 30 minutes and then told me I had to get up, the table was reserved, a complete disgrace. I've eaten there many times and I'm always satisfied, and of course I'm not alone.

It was pretty full. We had to wait 15 minutes to order drinks, another 10 minutes for them to arrive, and the food took over an hour to arrive. The schnitzel was good, the onion roast beef was not recommended. I ordered medium rare, of which I only got 1/3 cooked, the rest was bloody, and the fried potatoes were more mushy than crispy. The good things were the onions and the sauce, but they cut corners on them. Personally, I wouldn't eat there again. The staff, on the other hand, were stressed but friendly.

Definitely worth a recommendation

As always when we're near Ansbach, we stopped at the Mohren for a Schäufele (shoulder of pork). Simply pure enjoyment.

A good restaurant with a very nice beer garden, which is certainly a gem in nice weather and invites you to relax and enjoy something to eat and a drink. The food was good and tasty 😋, the portions were a decent size, and the price-performance ratio was pretty good. I'd happily give the food 5 stars 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 The service was very friendly and attentive, but unfortunately completely chaotic and without a plan => three new employees who, in my opinion, weren't properly trained?!? Then we didn't get our side salad until we were almost finished with our food, and I was almost ready to send it back right away. So, unfortunately, only 3 stars overall 🌟 🌟 🌟

It takes too long for the food to arrive

The four of us had dinner in the Mohrenbiergarten today (Mother's Day). We (regulars!) have never experienced such poor quality food. Schnitzel with fries and side salad: the schnitzel is light and "fried" in the deep fryer, the fries are light and not crispy, the side salad is forgotten. The crispy salad, the best part was the dressing, otherwise: pre-formed, frozen crispy chicken schnitzel (strips), the 3 baguette slices on the edge of the plate so thin and stale, the salad as little as never before and then also celery salad from a can... but the prices are even higher than last year. There's so much ice in the Aperol that you can barely fit any liquid in it (purely a cost-cutting measure), as if it wasn't already expensive enough. The white wine spritzer is almost just water. The only positive thing: the always friendly staff, big praise!!! The rest: has become much worse, less on the plate and higher prices... Guys, you always had such good quality, but I can't recommend anyone to you anymore! But when the beer garden is full, you apparently don't have to make any more effort, which is a shame! A request to the boss: make decent food and don't make the portions even smaller. Thank you.

The service is simply underground. It took us over an hour for the food to arrive. The staff is totally stressed and you feel like a troublemaker and are sometimes even insulted. You could see the same experience in the faces of other guests.

Unfortunately the staff is not well trained. Waited too long for food to take away after visiting restaurants.

Very good home cooking with very good service.

I went to eat at mohren for the first time today, everyone was very happy and the food was very tasty, the service was extremely friendly and competent

Very good restaurant in Ansbach. Cozy beer garden under the trees. The dishes are varied and plentiful. The prices in this restaurant are reasonable and the employees are very friendly. Really recommended. It is located outside the old town near the transition bridge to the old town

Friendly service and a beautiful large beer garden in the middle of the city. The schnitzel was juicy and very tasty.

Food was very good, the waiters were friendly and accommodating!!! The prices are ok too!!! We'll be back!!!👍♥️

Despite the full house, we received a very friendly welcome and even without a reservation we were spontaneously offered a place at a young man's table. The food was very tasty and everything was tip top. Price/performance excellent as it should be. Service staff was super friendly - there was nothing to complain about.

I had the pleasure of eating at Gasthaus zum Mohren in Ansbach and all I can say is it was a wonderful experience! The ambience of the inn is absolutely enchanting - a successful mix of traditional charm and modern comfort, which immediately creates a welcoming atmosphere. The food was simply outstanding! The dishes were not only delicious in terms of taste, but also lovingly and attractively prepared. Every bite was a real highlight and it was obvious that fresh ingredients and great attention to detail are used here. The service was also a dream. The staff was incredibly friendly, accommodating and very quick. You always felt well looked after and warmly welcomed, which made the entire experience even more pleasant. All in all, I can only warmly recommend the Gasthaus zum Mohren in Ansbach – everything is just right here!

One of the best things Ansbach has to offer in summer and nice temperatures. The atmosphere outside is great, inside it's ok (typical inn atmosphere). The food is always delicious, as are the drinks. One star less because both outside and inside, as soon as you want to reorder or no one around has left the bill or stops by - feel free to stop by earlier than 20 minutes, then you can still order something. Apart from that, definitely recommended!

Absolutely delicious food in a homely atmosphere and great service from the staff.

Super nice service. Very good inn cuisine. The food was delicious. Good price-performance ratio. Nice rustic inn atmosphere. All in all, absolutely great!

We always enjoyed eating at Mohren. Unfortunately we had a very negative experience today. We had the misfortune of sitting next to a patio door that was constantly being opened by an employee to take things out. Unfortunately, every time she left the door ajar and there was a terrible draft. After we got up 5 times and closed the door ourselves, we finally dared and kindly asked the employee to please close the door completely. Unfortunately it didn't do anything, they just insulted me. Will avoid the restaurant in the future. It's a shame because the food was always very good.

Great restaurant, friendly service and delicious food that more than fills you up!

Super friendly staff, food very tasty and plentiful. Ambiance cozy. Highly recommended. Price/performance is right. If I come to Ansbach again, I will definitely visit this restaurant again.

Very good German cuisine in Ansbach, service was absolutely top

Great location. The food can only be recommended

The best restaurant far and wide 👍 you sit nicely, super nice service and damn good food - we've been here several times and will come back often 😎

I'm sure there are people who appreciate the place, but I'm rather not one of them. The meat-heavy gravy-loaded food might to an extent be typical for the region, but I simply wouldn't say, even given local preferences, that it is of any particular quality. Also, choices are fairly limited, essentially all sorts of varieties of porc and beef. Service is not necessarily bad, but also not really good in my view, let's say average for German standards. Not a bad place, I'd say, but you really need to be into this kind of thing. Oh, and you'd better not be a vegetarian.

Food was very tasty and top prices. Top service: very friendly. Dogs allowed. Family friendly atmosphere. Really classy

We are eating here right now and we are very happy with everything. Everything is top notch and the service is very fast and there is hardly any waiting time.

Based on a recommendation from a local to get the best Schäufele here, we were not disappointed in any way: super tasty Franconian food, friendly and courteous service - we would be happy to come back. Highly recommended. Reservation is advisable

Great food, roast pork with dumplings and red cabbage. Sauce tasted very well. Good portion. Price ok...... Warm greetings from the expert from the Allgäu. GHW - FH

A great Franconian cuisine Food came quickly and very tasty

Simply great, service was quick, and the food matched the price-performance ratio.

highly recommended! Portions generous! and comparatively cheap! and DELICIOUS! nice attentive staff - gladly again!

Very tasty food, great service! We were in the wine cellar, very nice as a group. Be careful there: the whitewashed wall stains, do not touch it or bring jackets to it.

Nice restaurant near the parking lot; The food is available relatively quickly and is good and plentiful. The prices are average, as you usually have to order a side salad separately!?

Delicious food. I had cordon bleu. Very good! Price is reasonable. You should make a reservation.

Duck was good, zander fillet and carp fillet a bit tasteless, sauerbraten not sour, sauce thick and soggy, waiter was nice

Yesterday we had lunch at the Gasthaus zum Mohren for lunch. Even though all the tables were occupied and a large group had ordered before us, our food came very quickly. We both had an onion roast with fries. The steak was super tender and fried to perfection. Super tasty, a pleasure 😍

Nice little inn in the middle of the city. Cozy, friendly and Franconian food with affordable prices. Come again.

Very tasty food... gladly again

Top 👍🏼 wanted a table, without reservations, were then sent one house further, you can get the food there too, Schäufele was a dream, even with two dumplings, the service was very friendly and quick. A spoonful of sauerkraut or red cabbage would have been great, but that's complaining at a high level 😀

Very good service and delicious food!

Very well attended restaurant in Ansbach. We just managed to get a spot on a Tuesday lunchtime without a reservation! So you better reserve! I had fish and my husband had chanterelles! Both very tasty! The service was very nice! A place to feel good and enjoy! 👍👍👍

We ate here today based on a recommendation (2 adults and 2 children) The food was excellent, the waiters were very attentive and child-friendly. Price performance is excellent, we would like to come back.

Very tasty, very good quality. We recommend

Great restaurant, very friendly service. We were there on green night, so it was very crowded. We'll try again without such an event 😊

Highly recommended, especially the beer garden

We had a great meal here on a Tuesday evening. The service was very attentive and responded to all requests. Gladly again

Super delicious food and super nice service. Always my pleasure.

Very good restaurant with regional cuisine. The service was extremely polite and always with a sense of humor. The cordon bleu was amazing and very large. The Schäufele was super tasty, very tender and with a perfect crust. Good sauce and delicious potato dumplings.

Well, listless and unfriendly, long waiting times even for drinks

Beautiful beer garden and an equally great menu. Attentive waiters who don't lose their calm despite the full beer garden. I had a perfect rump steak with fried chanterelles and fried potatoes for 27.80 euros (August 2024)

Das Gasthaus Zum Mohren befindet sich in der Ansbacher Altstadt (Fußgängerzone). Im Biergarten mit einem schönen alten Baumbestand kann man es sehr gut aushalten und fränkische Küche genießen. Durch Zufall sind wir daran vorbei gelaufen und haben es nicht bereut dort einzukehren. Das Personal ist sehr nett und das Essen war sehr gut.👍

Always nice here and the guest is served with passion

Top! Recommended! Food good, staff nice and fast! What more could you want?!

On Friday we ordered takeaway here. We were welcomed very nicely. To sweeten the short waiting time, we ordered something to drink and took a seat in the wonderful beer garden. The waiter was very nice and accommodating. The Schäufele with dumplings is really amazing. We'll be back. Keep it up

A very nice beer garden and inn with large trees... just how a beer garden should be.

freundliches Personal, Top Preise. Reichhaltige PortionToller Biergarten, können wir nur empfehlen. Gerne wieder

The 4.4 stars can only come from fake accounts! After a hard day at work, we just wanted to have a relaxing meal. However, our food was spoiled by very unfriendly and arrogant staff and very long waiting times. How you can sully such a beautiful location. Just without words.

We wanted to go to a beer garden with the family and relax when the weather was nice. But I don't want to subject anyone to what we experienced. The waitresses were very unfriendly right from the start and we had to wait 20 minutes before we could order the drinks. After another 30 minutes the drinks came and after another 1.5 hours the food came. At that point none of us were hungry anymore and the kids just wanted to leave. It took another 20 minutes to pay and the service became increasingly unfriendly. The waitress should really ask himself whether he should think about retraining.

Worst service I have ever experienced. Waited for over an hour for food saying we had to catch our train. The incompetent waitress then became aggressive and immediately said that it was the last time we were here. Absolute madness! It's truly a miracle that you can work like this in service...
