Hinterhöfle, Wein-, Biergarten & mehr im Herzen der Altstadt in Volkach

Upscale price range, beautiful atmosphere. Add to that a delicious meal, and it would have been perfect. Unfortunately, I would have preferred to have my char filleted on the menu, because it was impossible on the salad plate. At €25 for smoked fish in an upscale setting, a separate salad plate or a larger plate should reflect this price range. I think the fish was delicious. However, I couldn't enjoy it because I needed too much concentration to avoid knocking the salad off the plate or losing the bones in the salad. I grumbled to myself in frustration while eating. In response, no server came to our table, and when we took the cash, we weren't asked if everything was OK. I didn't think that was very professional. An extra salad plate and the fish filleting is a small thing, and appropriate for the price range.

Schäufele (shoulder of pork) as expected: regional, authentic, tasty, albeit overpriced: €22.50! Wild butcher shop offers the same dish for €9.90! Bratwurst with potato salad: Bratwurst with 1 cm-wide fried stripes on top and bottom, otherwise white, firm, and tasteless. Potato salad was mush, tasted of nothing, lacking any seasoning. I've had much better in Franconia for these prices!

Very tasty food, super friendly service and a great backyard!!!😋👌👍

Very good food, highly recommended. A very pleasant place to sit, the staff friendly and quick, and the food arrived promptly. We were completely satisfied.

A very nice courtyard with great service, an extra * because there was a treat for 🐕

This beautiful courtyard invites you to dream, linger, and enjoy. An extensive wine list satisfies every desire. Beer drinkers will also find something to their liking. The food is a must. Absolutely delicious. The staff is very friendly, attentive, and caters to your every need. After the good food, the schnapps and liqueur list leaves little to be desired. Here, too, quality sets the tone. A visit is definitely worth it.

Highly recommended We went to this restaurant yesterday for lunch (Winzertopf/Schäufele) It tasted fantastic and the service was top-notch, 🤗

I haven’t had such good Schäufele in a long time!

Wonderful restaurant with a covered courtyard offering an outdoor feel with protection from the elements. Great selection of local wine and superb food. In particular I enjoyed their Silvanersuppe, a take in the more common Mostsuppe, with the lighter notes of the white wine making this dish shine.

A cute yet spacious restaurant. The atmosphere is incredibly cozy. The food is hard to describe. The pork shoulder practically fell apart, it was so tender. Taste-wise, it's a solid 1. Come here, folks, and you're guaranteed a lovely evening with good food and wine or beer. The service was truly friendly. She gave us plenty of time and was always available for follow-up orders. She also gave us some advice, as we were initially undecided. We'll definitely be back.

A very nice restaurant with friendly service, but I find it a shame that the prices for many dishes are too high, which is unjustified. They should revisit the menu and adjust the prices; otherwise, a very nice restaurant.

Nice location, but the food left a lot to be desired. I had asparagus with schnitzel. Both the schnitzel and the asparagus were underseasoned. What was absolutely unacceptable was the cress on the schnitzel, which had been deep-fried, and on top of the asparagus. I missed the fresh chives instead. The asparagus and potatoes were swimming in butter. I prefer to pour the butter over the asparagus myself. The service was friendly and quick.

Very nice ambiance. Friendly, attentive staff. The food is excellent. I had the chanterelle mushrooms, and my husband had the shoulder of pork, which I highly recommend. What I didn't like so much was that after 1 hour 45, the table had to be cleared for the next guests.

Don't let the ambiance fool you. While it's impressive, so are the prices, and the food is mediocre at best. The same goes for the wine. The price/performance ratio isn't right.

A lovely ambiance in a large conservatory and beer garden in a back courtyard. Prices are a bit higher. The food was very good; we had various soups, all of which were very tasty, and the Schäuferle (pork shoulder) with dumplings was large and also very good, although it cost just under €24. Reservations are recommended; the three of us were lucky enough to get a table spontaneously, but several others left without reservations after us.

We ate delicious bread dumplings in chanterelle sauce. Fantastic atmosphere and fair prices. The waitress was also able to recommend a great wine.

Last Friday, we had Schäufele (quite okay) and Sauerbraten, which we thought was very tough, sliced too thickly, and very dry. We sent some back and asked the waitress to give it to the chef to try. And here's the kicker: She came back with the information that she and two chefs had tried the roast and found the meat perfectly fine. What an own goal, something we haven't seen in decades. We would have told our guests: sorry, it can happen, sorry. That's completely unacceptable. By the way, the price of almost €24 is completely unreasonable, even by Franconian standards. Another attempt yesterday didn't convince me either. How can you serve mushy fried potatoes?

I ate at Hinterhöfle on Sunday afternoon. Alone with two large dogs. I've often experienced that everything is booked or reserved. Not so at Hinterhöfle; I got a great table in a beautiful setting. For my meal, I ordered traditional Schäuferle (a kind of pork shoulder), which I simply love. The food served was some of the best Schäuferle ever. The staff, from the waitress to the manager, were incredibly friendly; the dogs were given water and treats before I got my beer. Definitely 5*, and I'll definitely be back. Best wishes to the team.

The ambiance here is very nice, and the waitress, Simone, was very friendly. Since we were four adults with two babies, we were given a large, quiet seat. The prices for the drinks (and wines) are very reasonable. Highly recommended.

The two of us had lunch at Hinterhöfle. The pork shoulder was outstanding! Crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Truly delicious. At €23, it's on the high end, but worth every penny. We also really liked the ambiance. Modern meets stylish old building. The waitress was very friendly and attentive. We were very impressed and will definitely be back.

Highly recommended. Super friendly service and a cozy atmosphere. The food is very good. Definitely recommend it.

Friendly and attentive staff, excellent Franconian cuisine, and a beautiful location.

Well, the price/performance ratio doesn't match!

A very nice restaurant with a covered beer garden, friendly staff, and delicious food. The outside area is heated in spring/autumn, and the rain protection is excellent.

Very friendly service, food very tasty,

We spontaneously stopped by for dinner in the afternoon – a reservation wasn't necessary at that time. The ambiance is exceptionally harmonious and tastefully decorated. The service was friendly and attentive. We were particularly impressed by the diverse menu and the excellent wine.

Down-to-earth Franconian cuisine of the highest quality, accompanied by a very well-stocked Franconian wine list. Perfect Schäufele (pork shoulder) and bratwurst. Truly charming ambiance. Very pleasant, professional service team. We'll be happy to come back.

Super friendly service. The food was delicious. The atmosphere was great.

Very nice service and delicious food

Very delicious food, lovely ambiance, and friendly service! I had a cream of chanterelle soup and an apple strudel with whipped cream and vanilla ice cream. Highly recommended!

A nice ambiance and delicious food, although unfortunately a bit expensive. Unfortunately, the price-performance ratio, especially the service, was not right at all. When making the reservation, you could specify an occasion, which I did (birthday). Unfortunately, the staff didn't congratulate me, set the table a little more beautifully, or anything like that. Accordingly, I would recommend simply removing the occasion from the reservation. However, there was no reaction from the staff even when my parents obviously congratulated me and gave me a present, and it was definitely clear that it was my birthday. Customer-friendly is unfortunately something else entirely. Even so, the assigned waitress was unfortunately quite grumpy. It's a real shame that—especially given the high prices—the staff isn't also adjusted accordingly.

Highly recommended. Had a Schäuferle (a kind of pork shoulder). Very attentive service and an absolutely fantastic atmosphere.

Nice ambience. Good food but expensive.

During our stay in Volkach, we've already eaten there two evenings. Yesterday, too, with friends. They, like us, are absolutely thrilled. The ambiance is beautiful, and the service is very friendly, attentive, and polite. The selection of dishes is varied and delicious. The quality is very good. We've already made reservations for tomorrow. Highly recommended 👍

Beautifully located in the double courtyard, very good food and drinks with attentive service

Great food - friendly service. I also really liked the look of the place. The prices are a bit on the high side, but the dishes are also of good quality.

Very nice with good food and high-quality products. Reservations recommended.

Food ok, service nice, ambience very nice, prices upscale

great ambience and very friendly, competent service

The prices are disproportionate to the quality. The menu is "comprehensive." You pay for the ambiance, which is very nice.

Very nice place! Be sure to make a reservation!

Always very good food and friendly service.

Der Laden wirkt schon von außen einladend auf mich, allein schon durch das Schild "Täglich frische Bücher..." :). Mit Hingabe und Liebe zum Detail ist die Ladenfläche sehr ansprechend eingerichtet und gestaltet. Das Bücherkabinett ist Buchhandlung, Wollgeschäft (Lana Grossa) und Mini-Café in einem. Bei sehr freundlicher und kompetenter Beratung finden sich hier neben Büchern und Wolle aber auch hübsche Spielsachen, Tassen und selbstgebackener (?) Kuchen auch kleine Mitbringsel und "Mitnehmsel", sprich Dinge, von denen man erst bemerkt, dass man sie braucht, wenn man sie sieht. Hätte ich nicht den heißesten Tag der Woche erwischt, ich wäre wohl für Stunden in diesem wunderschönen Laden verschwunden und hätte sicher auch noch ein Stück Kuchen und eine Tasse Tee genossen und ein oder zwei Bücher erstanden. So habe ich mich auf das Notwendige beschränkt und wunderschöne und hochwertige Wolle erstanden. Ich war auf unserer Urlaubsreise dort und werde beim hoffentlich nächsten Besuch in Volkach definitiv wieder reinschauen!

Very nice restaurant with great outdoor seating. Delicious food and excellent service.

A small but fine menu. Great atmosphere and fast, friendly staff.

Once you find the entrance, you'll be surprised by the romantic ambiance. The food is amazing!

The Silvaner cream soup was delicious, and the Schäuferla (a kind of sauerkraut) was top-notch, just as it should be. But that's to be expected given the high prices. You'd feel completely at home here, if it weren't for the flies. Intrusive blowflies, and not just a few. The dog watering area was very dirty, and when we asked for water for our dog, we were directed to the drinking troughs. They finally agreed to bring us fresh water.

We were there as a couple and both had the salad plate with steak and a shandy. As requested, the steaks were cooked medium and medium-rare. The house-made shandy was very tasty and not too sweet. We were able to reserve a table at very short notice and sat under the well-air-conditioned screen in a cozy, relaxed atmosphere. The servers were friendly and professional, the food arrived quickly, and the prices, although a bit high, were reasonable.

Amazing! The shoulder of pork is especially recommended! They fall off the bone, super crispy, and perfectly seasoned! Great, friendly, and personal service.

A very nice restaurant in the courtyard. Despite not having a reservation, we still managed to get a seat for two (we had an hour, but it was plenty). Very good food and good drinks at the typically higher prices. Friendly and attentive service. Highly recommended.

Very nice courtyard and excellent herb char. The service was super friendly. Everything was perfect.

Too expensive! Apparently they only want tourists as guests, not locals. I was disappointed. One Hefeweizen beer costs €5, is that really necessary?

Very tasty, homely Franconian cuisine.

Very tasty, friendly staff and great atmosphere.

An interesting place with an unusual design, modern yet rustic. The food is very good quality. The service tries its best, but sometimes just doesn't keep up.

Yesterday, we went to dinner at Hinterhöfle with the family. We were served pleasantly, and the food had just been brought to our table when the first few bites practically stuck in our throats because we witnessed an argument between two waitresses that completely ruined our appetites: An older waitress pushed a young waitress out of the way and then loudly insulted her with such foul language that we lost our sight and hearing! Needless to say, our evening was ruined! As a guest, you shouldn't have to put yourself through that, and pay for it, too! Completely unacceptable!

We were there for dinner today. Liver dumpling soup and antipasti 2 shoulders of pork, all absolutely excellent. The service was prompt and very friendly. Thank you for that. We'll be back and highly recommend the Hinterhöfle.

We stopped by Volkach on our way back from vacation. Here we came across this superb location. We asked if we could get a table for five. The extremely friendly waitress told us that unfortunately, everything was currently fully booked. She then reserved a table for us for 5:30 p.m. We were greeted and served very courteously. The staff, no matter who came to our table, were all very nice and friendly. The food and drinks were served in a very timely manner. All five of us were very impressed with the food; it tasted excellent, and the portions were also very generous. If we ever make it back to Volkach, we would definitely pay this place another visit. Thank you very much

Very tasty sauerbraten. I'd love to come back 😋

All in all, 5 stars. A slight point deduction for the bratwurst, which subjectively seems to be a bit unusually prepared, so it's best to ask the very friendly waitress again. The shoulder of pork, on the other hand, is highly recommended! The ambiance, which successfully combines old and new styles, has a relaxing, tranquil feel. I'd be happy to go back.

Food: Delicious, but only one vegetarian dish (as of May 2025) Location: Cozy, seating available in the covered courtyard, comfortable chairs Service: Friendly, attentive

We had an excellent meal here! The ambiance is beautiful and unique. The service was friendly and attentive. We'd be happy to come back if we're ever in the area again.

The chargrilled char and the shoulder of pork were exceptional! The very special atmosphere is not to be missed. Excellent value for money! Thumbs up.

You are treated very rudely, it is not well organized.

Tight but comfortable. We have been visiting this cozy location for many years. It wasn't so crowded before. But the few staff are very friendly. Food and wine was good again.

Even though the restaurant was full to capacity, we received great service and the food was great! If you can respond to every guest in a friendly manner, even when it's busy, then I'm not worried about ever getting bad service here.

Impeccable food, we came with 10 people and really just great. Thank you for the hospitality.

Very, very nice atmosphere, unfortunately the menu is very poor.

The food was way too salty. We had 4 different dishes, all of which were way too salty. I couldn't finish all of my food due to the salt content. The ambience and service are great! Unfortunately, the menu doesn't offer many vegetarian dishes that fill you up (I leave out the salad and antipasti plate). PS: I hope the chef's infatuation is reciprocated

Didn't eat anything, just drank something

A really great restaurant! The food was delicious and the ingredients were fresh. The staff was extremely friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is also super pleasant. Clear recommendation!

Great place! Friendly staff. The food was also very tasty! Very nicely furnished/decorated, which creates a great atmosphere! I would like to go here again in the evening when the lights are on!

You have created a really beautiful ensemble in the Hinterhöfle, a place of peace, a mixture of winter garden, beer garden and restaurant in the historic barn. The service was attentive and seemed skillful. The food was tasty and plentiful, perhaps a tad too salty for some people. Unfortunately, the amount of meat in sauerbraten doesn't do justice to the price; you can use a second slice, but cut a little thinner. Overall, a bit too expensive.

Very nice garden restaurant, good quality dishes, good portions, medium price

Food was very good, service was nice

Went here for dinner today. The Hinterhöfle makes a very inviting impression. Successful architecture. The tables are uncomfortable. You can't stretch out your feet. The carpenter was not a catering professional. The Schäufele wasn't a hit. The crust had no bubbles and was not crispy. The sauce was boring. The menu said juniper, laurel and caraway. The cook forgot something. The red cabbage was tasteless and overcooked, so it was for toothless people. Apple taste lingered in the kitchen. The char had parsley potatoes on the menu. The parsley was completely missing. Tomato herb melt was just sour with no herbs. The wine was served in a plastic glass. The service was Franconian friendly. The price and performance ratio is not right here. For these prices, more must be delivered. There are better places.

Nice restaurant under a glass roof, great ambience. Service was very nice, food was really tasty.

Rarely eaten so tasty, so rich and high quality in a very pleasant atmosphere with friendly service. Simply perfect. We'd love to come back. Here too a best place to be.

24€ for a Schäufele is outrageous, but the tourists let themselves have anything.

We are currently in Volkach for a long weekend and have chosen the Hinterhöfle as an evening location for dinner. The reservation via OpenTable went smoothly. The reception from the service was very nice and friendly, the ambience is a bit reminiscent of a large winter garden, but it fits 👍 The menu offers something for everyone, in terms of drinks there is of course a lot of wine on the menu, but also local beer. We chose the Schäufele and pork fillet with spaetzle (it was a daily menu). Both meals were very good 👍 We can definitely recommend the Hinterhöfle and would come back if we were in this corner again.

Just a great place with great service and very tasty food 👍👍👍

Delicious food, friendly service and nice ambience. We were there for dinner and had a good stay. Gladly again!

Very nice atmosphere Totally friendly service and very tasty food, the wines are really delicious anyway

Very nice, very friendly. Great atmosphere, and the food is just as good. We'd love to come back 😉

We always enjoy visiting this wonderful location. Top-notch service, great food, and a wonderful atmosphere – we'll be back again and again!

Volkach is great. Hinterhöfle left a bad impression. The restaurant was empty, but my wife and I had no choice of seating. The waitress ordered that we were only allowed to sit at a table of three, very harshly. We then left. They probably didn't want to make any sales.

Delicious shovel👍 Friendly and attentive service

The staff was very unfriendly because we didn't order food.

Great food, attentive waitress Stephi. Great service. We'll definitely be back!

Highly recommended. Nice little beer garden and the rest of the outdoor area was behind glass. Probably open in summer. Food was good too.

Top. Ambiance and food perfect.

Very nice restaurant, great decor.

We love being here, it's worth a detour every time! Everything just fits... Just as beautiful in winter as in summer 😎

We were here on Boxing Day. The atmosphere is really nice and invites you to linger. The food tastes very good and the portions are large. Unfortunately, it took a long time until someone gave us tickets or we were actually forgotten. When we took the order we were probably forgotten for a long time or they thought it had already been taken and so everything was a slight delay. The prices were also a bit high, but that might just have something to do with Christmas. Addition Christmas 2024: We were there again, we were very happy with the taste of the food, this time it was a little quicker, but we still noticed that it was probably tight in terms of staff because other tables had to wait significantly longer.

On our way through, we spent 1 night in Volkach on the Langer winery's parking space (priced separately). We then went to Hinterhöfle for dinner. We liked the atmosphere. Lots of green, very cozy. The staff was very attentive and had good knowledge of the wine selection. The food was brought quickly. Even now in December, the restaurant wasn't overcrowded. I ordered the Schäufele. It was very tasty but too big a portion for me. Then I took the rest with me. All in all a nice evening with good food.

10/10 stars!!!! Great food, nice service... And an ambience to kneel down!!!!

We were there in December 2024 and ate soooo good duck with a divine sauce, it was awesome. The price-performance ratio plus the ambience is incredibly good. We waited a normal amount of time and also ordered a vegan dish as a second dish, everything was really great. Definitely go there. I think it's even nicer in summer!

Very friendly. Super friendly. Large wine list.

Unfortunately the food wasn't good and overpriced. Typical tourist booth. Bratwursts that are not fried, but simply boiled. Sauerkraut, which didn't taste sour but sweet, and a quark stollen that was just over-seasoned and dry. And that at high prices. Absolutely no recommendation! Price performance bad! Better Torbäck or the lily.

The food was delicious and the staff friendly.
