Holy Monk in Schwabach

Delicious, great value for money!

I took my girlfriend here. She had cheese spaetzle and a Cola wheat beer and was satisfied. I had a cheeseburger with fries and a Spezi. It also came with a small bowl with about a tablespoon of salad. We paid €40 for it. The seating is very comfortable and the place is nice.

Very nice restaurant. The food was delicious and fresh. Four of us were there today. Unfortunately, we sat for a long time with our empty glasses. The service was nice and friendly but rarely showed up.

We had a delicious breakfast in a pleasant atmosphere. When the weather's nice, you can also sit outside.

It used to be better. The salad we always ordered had become considerably smaller. When we pointed out that the yufka and onions were missing, the waitress (supposedly after consulting the kitchen) told us that the ingredients had been on the salad and we had simply eaten them already. After we rejected this, she came back again, this time claiming that the chef had mixed everything together. So, what now? She then came back with two bowls, one with yufka and one with raw diced onions. No, thank you. We left it untouched. They made a fuss about a product worth less than €1. The waitress didn't even come over to ask for drinks. Oh well, what a shame, we always loved going there...

The portion size absolutely doesn't justify the price. Far too expensive for a much too small portion. Service could be much better.

We were severely disappointed. We had two cheeseburgers, one on a gluten-free and one on a whole-wheat bun, at lunchtime. - The cheese wasn't even remotely melted, but rather tarnished; so it definitely wasn't in the pan with the meat, but simply placed on top of the patty afterward. - The gluten-free bun tasted more like cardboard. - The whole-wheat bun was only about 1 cm thick, making it hard and practically inedible. - The wedges tasted watery. - The curly fries were crispy on the outside, but rather floury on the inside. - Cole slaw, which consists of mayonnaise as its main ingredient, is unfortunately a no-go! We had a homemade iced tea (which was sickly sweet) and a small water. The courtyard and the dining room look inviting, but the quality of the food didn't live up to its promise. Service was generally good, and drinks arrived quickly. When clearing the table, we were asked if we enjoyed our meal. A very brief silence and a reserved "thank you" from us were ignored. The women's restrooms were unfortunately very unkempt. Toilet paper and dirt on the floor, and the restrooms, while relatively new, were not clean enough to recommend. Something like that might be tolerable at 10 p.m. when the place is full, but not when it's almost empty at lunchtime. €43 is simply too expensive for that :(

Great place. They offer a wide selection of dishes from various national cuisines. Burgers, Greek dishes, salads, and sandwiches are available. There's definitely something for everyone, and the food always tastes good. The ambiance is very nice and cozy, and the service is always friendly and attentive. Prices are reasonable. Keep it up!

We've been there several times, and at lunchtime the staff were simply annoying; they didn't even greet us. They slapped the menu down on the table. They didn't pay any attention to us at all. We called out to them 10 times before they noticed us. I think that's a disgrace.

My two nieces and I were thrown out of the restaurant because they had almost eaten an ice cream they had bought for themselves shortly before, and I didn't think anything of it! We actually wanted to have breakfast, but since the almost-eaten ice cream was a huge problem and the waiter was very rude, we immediately got up and left! What bothered me most was the arrogant tone, despite my polite explanation! Old Mr. Nastos would have turned in his grave if he'd seen that!

The breakfast is great, the staff very friendly, and dogs are welcome. Highly recommended.

We visited the restaurant spontaneously. At first glance, it looks nice. The drinks were good, but the food wasn't good value for money.

We went there for breakfast. Nice ambiance. They could make something of it. Some of the chairs were unfortunately dirty. Service was good. Rather expensive. For breakfast, we would have preferred a fresh roll for the price, as there are many bakeries in the area. The five slices of prepackaged sausage could be improved. The fried egg in the pan looks fancy, but is impractical to eat.

I stopped by here briefly this afternoon. First impression: lovely ambiance. Service was attentive and polite. I ordered a matcha latte, which looked beautifully decorated in the photo, but I got a glass of foamed milk with matcha powder. Certainly not the cafe's fault, but it tasted awful. I then ordered another espresso, and it came cold. Annoying.

Nice pub where you can also sit outside

Delicious food, nice atmosphere, friendly service. Prices are reasonable!

We had the smashed burger, and it was really delicious. The atmosphere at Mönchshof was cozy; we sat outside. But on my way to the restroom, I was able to quickly look around inside, and the decor is top-notch. It makes you feel at home.

The fries were cold and rubbery, and the avocado in the burger was as hard as concrete. No apology, they just brought a shot on the house without comment.

The food not only looks great, it tastes just as good. 💕 The staff is very friendly, and there's always room, even for walk-ins! The location is also very good, with parking everywhere! All in all, simply good and delicious!

Although the restaurant was still quite full, especially outside, we were only able to get two meals (baked feta cheese) for three people at 9:15 p.m. That's unacceptable, even though we requested available food.

I really enjoyed it there. The outdoor area was really nice and relaxing, the service was super friendly, and the food was delicious! I definitely want to go back to Schwabach (I'm from Nuremberg) just for the food there and because there are so many dishes on the menu that I really want to try! But two small comments: 1. The chairs outside were a bit hard, especially for the back. A pillow or cushion might not hurt. And 2. I'm currently struggling with stomach problems and have to eat as gently as possible. So eating out isn't easy for me right now, as there are a lot of things I can't eat. I thought a chicken sandwich would be a good option out of all the options, and then I was a bit surprised when they served it with curly fries. I usually like to eat them, but they're not a good idea right now. I didn't see anything on the menu, though. If I've missed something, it would be great if all the side dishes were listed on the menu. This way, people with allergies, or like me, who have to watch out for everything right now, aren't unpleasantly surprised. But the sandwich was delicious! I'll definitely be back!

I left after 20 minutes because no one was waiting.

I went there for breakfast with my wife and we both loved it! Great friendly service and a large selection of delicious food

Spontaneously yesterday evening while we were passing through. Highly recommended, the food was a dream, the design of the restaurant was pleasant for the eye to enjoy and the service was very lovely. If we are here again, we will definitely come back.

I didn't really like it. Especially when it comes to value for money. My burger came to the table lukewarm, the cheese was still completely cold from the fridge, so apparently it wasn't fried on the patty as shown in some other pictures here. The fries are standard wholesale frozen food, nothing special.

Very friendly and attentive staff. The food, which we didn't have to wait long for, was delicious and fresh. A bit expensive for Schwabach, but now normal. :)

Very tasty burgers, short waiting times and a great location. It's nice to sit outside, especially in summer!

I liked being there 20 years ago. Now it has been completely renovated in keeping with the times. I would be happy to come again when I am in this beautiful city of Schwabach.

The goulash soup was lots and really delicious, as were the teas and coffee arrangements, highly recommended.

Delicious food and good service – with small opportunities for optimization We reserved a table at Holy Monk on a Saturday evening and everything went smoothly. Since we were there in February, we unfortunately couldn't use the really beautiful outdoor area - it's definitely a highlight in summer! The restaurant has a pleasant ambience inside, although the design could offer a little more atmosphere. The service was attentive, our order was taken quickly, and the food came quickly. We were completely impressed by the taste of the food – fresh, aromatic and absolutely delicious! The waiting time was pleasantly short and you can tell the quality of the ingredients. Overall it's good value for money and we had a lovely evening. If the interior gets a little upgrade, the experience would be perfect. Conclusion: A great restaurant with delicious food and good service – we will definitely be back! ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (4 out of 5 stars)

We were there for the first time on January 3rd, 2025. Were very excited. The food was really tasty. The service was really good, very nice and accommodating.

The ambience in the restaurant is really a modern eye-catcher. Unfortunately, the burger was a bit cold in the middle and the service wasn't very friendly. Maybe she had a bad day 🤷🏼‍♂️.

Nice restaurant, great service! Desirable: always the same menu for months, a change would be needed here.

The ambience and service were very good, the food was on the table very quickly...

Friendly staff, quick service and a relaxed atmosphere. Clear recommendation

excellent food Excellent service Nice atmosphere Good job guys

The food is great, the service was very friendly and everything was nice and quiet and very nicely decorated.

Excellent food and great service. Absolutely recommended.

The new young Turk/Kurd was very unfriendly! We don't need that.

Went there for brunch with a larger group at the weekend and it was just great. The service and the food were simply top notch.

Very tasty food. There were 8 of us. The dishes we ordered all came at the same time. Ordered 8 different dishes.

Were used to be regulars at the restaurant. It all depends on the service.

My family and I had dinner here today. It was really tasty. We had three different burgers, a fraquett and a portion of spaghetti bolognese. Both the kids and us really enjoyed it. The ambience was also really nice and the service was great. Very accommodating and friendly. If we didn't live so far away we would definitely come here more often. Price performance is also great!

Unfortunately I won't be back any time soon. Some expired products (nutella) at breakfast. Sorry, I'm out of there!

I really like the Holy Monk. It's nice inside but could be better designed. The service is friendly and attentive. The dishes are delicious and you will always be full :) Recommended!

Were there for the first time yesterday. The food was ok, but I had a hair in my sandwich, the waitress didn't understand it. I had to go to the women's toilet, which was very dirty. Maybe it's because only male staff were present. But in my opinion that's not possible at all. That's why I can unfortunately only give it 2.5 out of 5 points

Got a seat without a reservation, received the food quickly, there wasn't enough sauce/bread in the salad for me, reordered and received it. Sorry, I think the portion is more generous in the Prinz, but I could be wrong. Overall it was good and tasted good.

Beautiful atmosphere, tried a lot of food (since I go there often), I'm always surprised at how good the food tastes, great service! Cocktails super tasty even without alcohol 👍 Price/performance is also okay... Overall, a great shop for chilling, eating, drinking and a good meeting place with friends and relatives, very family friendly! Thank you and see you next time 😎

The food is outstanding! The staff did an excellent job.

Very courteous staff, super delicious food, price performance is okay, will come again.

Everything was good, food was delicious as always... nice atmosphere, service was ok too

It's always very good and the ladies give their all... but the queue times are often too long for me.

We ordered food to be picked up in the evening and picked up the food within the pick-up period given to us. Unfortunately the burger and baked potato were cold. And the salad with the potatoes wasn't dressed. The burger barely had just a dollop of the specified sauce on it and half a red onion ring that was thin. It's been better and warmer here. Too bad. Conclusion: don't order for home but eat there.

Ate two salads with shepherd's cheese. We thought it would be plain fried, but then it was breaded. But it still tasted very good.

Very friendly staff and very good food.

The burger buns are quite dry, likely toasted for too long.

Unfortunately the food wasn't really edible. Caesar salad without capers and anchovies very sad. Chicken also fried to death and super dry. Burger also super dry, which is a shame. We're not coming anymore

We really enjoyed the food and had a little celebration here. The ambience, the waiting times, the service staff and the quality of the food were excellent. We are completely satisfied, and the location in the city of Schwabach is also very central and well located. We will definitely come back and would be happy to recommend you.

As always, the food was very good and so was the service.

Very nicely located café/restaurant with delicious food. We had a buffet and a private event there today and it was really outstanding. Service friendly, polite and quick. Buffet delicious, varied and remarkably good, well above average. I would love to come back and can highly recommend it. Unfortunately I can't say anything about the prices. The ambience is modern inside and out but still warm and cozy.

Very nice cafe, very friendly staff, nice selection of food and drinks. Always happy.

Big portions, good quality and best service. It was fantastic again 🏆.

A highlight in Schwabach Especially in summer when you can sit outside

Delicious food, nice service, whether inside or outside, I like being there

It's a shame when you relax and enjoy a nightcap and actually want to leave after your first order. Two drinks took 15 minutes with a small number of guests Even after asking, the water we ordered wasn't brought... the strawberry mochito probably didn't see any alcohol... when we asked, they just said it had alcohol in it! Summary... a different restaurant for the next nightcap.

I can't rate the food now, I think the coffee was from Lavazza. Unfortunately I personally don't like it. Ambiance and service were ok.

Great and friendly service. We didn't have to wait long for our food, which was delicious. Gladly again!

You get huge portions here and you'll definitely be full and it tastes so delicious

The small courtyard is a lovely place to sit in a cozy atmosphere. Unfortunately quite a lot went wrong with our orders, no apology or correction from the Holy Monk. The waitresses don't really make you feel welcome. Very unfortunate.

Nice decor, good food, friendly service. Summer, sun, very satisfied.

Nice cozy restaurant. Food was very tasty.

Food really bad The worst fries ever Gyros has no taste The service with “lick me feeling”

Good food, beautifully decorated shop, some terribly unfriendly staff, unfortunately not family friendly at all. The food is good, but not so great that you're happy to pay the hefty prices. It is very nicely decorated inside and outside it is also nice and cozy. Children are tolerated but nothing more. Strange rules like 'tables may not be moved outside' (we wanted to be in the shade when it was 32 degrees, there was enough space) were simply enforced without explanation (we had asked). That's just the way it is, the tables can't be moved. The staff was repeatedly unfriendly and spoiled our mood. This didn't just happen once. In the end it was so bad that we left again. Plus point that, in fairness, has to be mentioned: One of the few in the restaurant here that offers gluten-free alternatives. You can eat well and have a nice evening/day here, but not with small children. The service should be aware that families have different needs and requirements. If these cannot be met, you can also convey this in a friendly manner and not in a sloppy way.

Great food and service. Recommended. 👍

Really very good cocktails. We arrived there around 10:30 p.m. during the week and were served very well (as we were actually the last guests). Really friendly staff.

Very good food and friendly staff

My friend had a big, boiled green fly in her food. Unfortunately no apology, no discount, espresso or schnapps. I like going to the Monk, but she will never go again. A pity! I didn't like it either 👎

Today we were only here for a cocktail, but we also ate something. The atmosphere is very nice, the service is friendly and helpful. And the food is really good. There is always room for two people, but a reservation makes sense.

Nice ambience, good food, nice service 👍. Come back soon. You feel like you're on vacation 😉.

A beautiful restaurant, with a beer garden. Very nice staff. The warm food was very good, the salad with the meal was, well, a matter of taste, the 4 of us didn't like it at all. The only criticism was that it was very expensive, the value for money wasn't right. Very full, make a reservation in advance if you want wanted to go there.

For years after Mönchshof times, we went to another restaurant in Schwabach for breakfast🤷🙂 ......since I'm no longer enthusiastic about it, we've now tried the Holy Monk🤔 ... we'll probably be in here Have breakfast more often in the future... All top five deserved stars 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 Update: one star unfortunately deducted (and it's still good). today, got tea without a bag, so just hot water🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️, plates weren't clean either, for 40 € breakfast two butter and a bag with too little bread (and hard rolls) 🤷‍♂️🤷 ‍♂️🤷‍♂️hmmmmm BAD Then I'll look again where you can have breakfast...

I've wanted to go to Holy Monk for a very long time because I kept hearing about it and now it was finally time... The selection of food and drinks is sufficient, if not too much The breakfast was delicious and beautifully prepared, the only thing I didn't like was that there was only a roll and other strange pieces of baguette and they were served carelessly in a bag The staff, or a certain employee, seemed very self-absorbed, preferred guests who came after us, constantly asked them if everything was okay, but not with us, the guests who came after us were of course served first, Another employee was standing around very awkwardly, I then asked him if we could also order from him, he said yes and the order went very quickly The toilets are in need of renovation and there was an unpleasant smell... It's a shame, it's a nice place and some of it is beautifully furnished, you could definitely do more with it... Since I'm an honest person, I told the employees when I paid what I didn't like, which was brushed off with "yes, yes," which is a shame

Great to sit outside in the summer. Friendly staff, food is well prepared and tasty.

I have been to the Holy Monk several times as a guest, and on Saturday I also attended a private party. For us as guests it was a perfect evening, absolutely friendly and courteous service (the glasses were never empty), excellent food and a great ambience. Whether regular operations or celebrations, I can recommend the Holy Monk without reservation.

Great location for a celebration, fantastic food, very friendly team, definitely recommended!

We had a big celebration there yesterday in private. From preparation to implementation, the team led by Mr. Nastos and Rabon very professional and friendly. The food was fantastic, the location was beautiful, the service was excellent. We couldn't have imagined a better place for our celebration and all of our guests were just as thrilled. THANK YOU Holy Monk

Unfriendly, rude staff, no solution to the problem if you cause damage to the guest!!!! Went on a Sunday full of anticipation for a good meal and nice service. Unfortunately the mood changed very quickly. We ordered 2 alcoholic drinks. The waiter lost concentration for a moment and spilled all the Cola wheat on our electronic devices lying on the table and unfortunately also on us. After we dried ourselves a bit we sat down inside because it was getting cold with wet clothes. Unfortunately, no reasonable agreement could be found as to how we can repair the damage to the expensive brand clothing. On the contrary, we were portrayed as liars and shouldn't behave like that. As compensation we were given free drinks, which were ultimately charged again. Very bad staff, most rude and rude service in a long time. Although the food was good, unfortunately everything went bad.

We ate very well, there was a nice outdoor area to sit in, you can sit there longer. Service great, price performance top.

It's always a pleasure to have breakfast with you. As always, the Holy Monk breakfast. This is really highly recommended and during the week it is really pleasant and quiet. See you next time

Funny, don't understand the reviews. Old fruits on the breakfast plate. Unfortunately only recommended to a limited extent

Stopped here at the end of a bike tour. Actually just wanted to have a coffee. Food looked so delicious, we couldn't resist. :-)

Ate a great appetizer platter and great salads in a cozy atmosphere.

Went here for dinner before a concert. Very nice to sit outside. Very nice service. The food is simply great.

One of my favorite restaurants... very tasty food, also like to have breakfast here.

Very nice restaurant with a sheltered terrace/courtyard very friendly staff Breakfast is also served at lunchtime

Loved the eggs Benedict and chai Pur. Lots of seating outdoors. Sat inside and it was comfortable and loved the decor. Can’t wait to come back.

Super nice café, very attentive service, very tasty food

Very good food, nice service and a very nice facility.

Oma und Opa waren mit den Enkelkindern aus, und wir haben für jeden was gefunden. Es ist ein bißchen laut drinnen. Die Bedienung jedoch zügig und freundlich, die Speisen sind lecker und üppig.Dafür sind die Preise jedoch- naja- etwas hoch.

A nice evening for us. Everyone can find something to eat. You don't get kicked out after your meal like at other places. Mixed audience. Young, students and older. Pleasant atmosphere. Easy if you just want to meet up to chat and drink cocktails.
