Gaststätte Kochtopf in Lichtenfels

Very delicious, creative breakfast creations. My fish marie was fantastic: scrambled eggs with shrimp, smoked salmon, cream, vegetable sticks, etc. The Moritz Classic was also good, with ham.

Very cozy restaurant, everything is freshly prepared and delicious. Very friendly staff! I'll be back! Just a few minutes from the train station and right in the city center.

A small hotel in a quiet part of town - a good starting point for hikes The hotel (or is it just an inn?) is located in a quiet part of Lichtenfels in Upper Franconia. The property consists of an old building and a new building. According to the website, there is a difference in the room amenities (and also in the price) - the new building also has an elevator. We spent two nights in the new building. The rooms are modernly furnished, with very nice reading lamps by the bed and are sufficiently large (even for stays of 1-2 weeks). These rooms have a lovely, large balcony. The views vary depending on the side of the building. The bathroom was relatively large with a walk-in shower. There was ample storage space. We received a very friendly welcome and were then shown to our room. The door opens electronically. This worked very well. The kitchen serves mainly Italian cuisine. On Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, three regional dishes are also offered – some require advance reservation (Schäufele). You can also (pre-)order a fish dish. The service was very friendly. The prices for food and drinks (at least three beers) seemed reasonable to us – beer prices are below the level in other (northern, eastern) German states. The bill was brought to us at around 10:30 p.m. There is the option of sitting down in additional rooms and spending the evening. The breakfast rooms are modernly furnished. There is a fresh food counter between the breakfast room and the kitchen. This was used to refill the food in the back, which guests had placed on their plates at the front. ;-) I didn't find the single coffee machine for guests ideal. You have to be prepared with some time, and you only get one cup of coffee at the table. However, these machines are becoming more and more common in hotels. This allows you to choose from various coffee drinks, but you do have to queue, which might take a while. The hotel offers plenty of parking spaces and garages for cars and e-bikes. The hotel was busy during our stay. In the morning, e-bikers set off on their rides. There are (at least) two castles/monasteries near the hotel that you can explore. You can get further by bike.

Opening hours listed online differ from actual hours. We were looking forward to a delicious meal, but unfortunately it was closed. Please update.

I just picked up an Italian salad. It tasted really good, but for the price of €9, it was a bit too small. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a photo. It's a shame they only offer two dressings, but that wasn't a problem for me; I just used my own. The staff was super friendly, the order was quick, and the premises were clean and tidy.
