Restaurant Froschgrundsee in Rödental

We stumbled upon this wonderful place by chance on our way from Erfurt through the Thuringian Forest to Bamberg. Even though we only had a cup of coffee, we were warmly welcomed and served. The cake was absolutely delicious! And the large terrace was very cozy despite the rain.

Great location, great service, varied menu, pleasant atmosphere, first-class food with excellent starters and desserts. The smoker buffet (only by reservation and advance payment) was a highlight; I've rarely eaten so well. The cuisine is a good mix of regional and international influences. The owners are super friendly, always willing to listen and actively participate. Highly recommended, even if you have to pay a little more for good food, which for me only means questioning the number of visits, not the experience itself.

Certainly, very good food, quality costs a bit but still fair prices.

Absolute heartfelt recommendation!!!

Idyllic location with a view of the Froschgrundsee, cozy lounge music, fine menu, and ambiance.

I can hardly believe I overlooked this restaurant for so long. I often travel to Coburg from the US to visit family, and my daughter reminded me of Froschgrundsee, where she spent many summers with my mother as a child. After my mother's death, I contacted the restaurant for a family dinner, and they were incredibly accommodating. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, the service outstanding, and the food far exceeded our expectations. It was the perfect setting to honor my mother's 94 years of life and her love for our family. For that, we are so grateful. Highly recommended!

We went to a smoker evening. High-quality buffet with plenty of smoked meat and homemade sauces and side dishes, see website. The event took place outdoors in summery temperatures. From there, you have a beautiful view of Froschgrundsee. There was a short introduction to the specialties and the grilling method. At the buffet, you could also have questions answered by the chef. All in all, it was a fantastic event with super delicious food. The price/performance ratio was right. We'd be happy to go again. (This event is not suitable for vegetarians/vegans.)

Simply fantastic cuisine. The food is delicious and a feast for the eyes. The team is a master of their craft. Advance reservations ensure a seat and a gourmet experience. For gourmet lovers, there's a gourmet menu featuring fresh, light cuisine with innovative ingredients.

We celebrated our wedding anniversary there today with a fantastic meal in a fantastic setting with superbly friendly staff. The food was beyond outstanding, a true delight for the palate. A huge compliment to the wait staff for their excellent service—you'd love to have something like that. Highly recommended in every respect. The prices are completely reasonable, everything is freshly prepared, and you can taste it. A visit is definitely worth it. We were very satisfied... Thank you so much for the wonderful evening... We'd love to come back.

A beautiful restaurant in a dream location. Delicious cuisine paired with exceptionally friendly service.

First of all: the food tastes excellent. Very tasteful, cooked and presented with attention to detail. The regional sourcing of the processed ingredients is also noteworthy. What is absolutely unacceptable, however, is when the waiter (who is very competent, no question!) whispers about guests behind the counter and complains that our table isn't drinking enough ("I've already asked three times if they'd like another drink" or "they've just ordered coffee and cake"). It leaves a bitter aftertaste. You feel out of place, as if you should leave because you're not getting enough done. Incidentally, several of our group heard this independently, so it's unlikely that it was misunderstood – we only realized this after our visit when we reflected on it. This behavior unfortunately seems unprofessional and unnecessary; after all, we spent over €300 there. When we politely asked if we could exchange money (the little girl wanted to pay for the group's drinks from her savings, a very sweet gesture), the male waitress rudely dismissed us with, "We're not a bank." We were very nice beforehand, but the longer we sat in the establishment, the more unwelcome we felt. In the end, the friendly woman exchanged it without any problems. All in all, it was very tasty, but I don't understand why all this whispering about guests and all these eye-rolling looks have to happen. If, for some reason, it has to happen, please wait until you've left. It doesn't make you feel good, more like you weren't welcome. Finally: the view is breathtakingly beautiful!

Highly recommended! Great food, great service, great view. I'd be happy to come back anytime.

Delicious food at affordable prices...

Highly recommended, super friendly service

A visit to this restaurant is an experience for the senses. The outdoor dining area is very cozy, and the waitresses are super friendly and attentive. The most important thing, however, is the excellent food, and we enjoyed the expertly prepared asparagus dishes. They were almost perfect; the asparagus was delicately cooked, the side dishes were tasty, and the dishes as a whole were perfectly prepared. We had a very good meal, and the ice cream for dessert was also delicious. The price is absolutely reasonable, and we'll definitely be back soon!

Ein Erlebnis für die Sinne ist der Besuch hier im in diesem Restaurant. Der Gastgarten ist sehr gemütlich und die Damen im Service super nett und aufmerksam. Die Hauptsache allerdings ist das vorzügliche Essen und wir konnten die gekonnten Spargelvarianten genießen. Diese waren nahezu perfekt, der Spargel fein gekocht, die Beilagen schmackhaft und die Gerichte in Summe sehr perfekt gelungen. Wir haben sehr gut gegessen, da auch das Eis zum Nachtisch sehr lecker war. Der Preis ist absolut angemessen und wir kommen bestimmt bald wieder hierher zurück!

The restaurant's slogan, "Where enjoyment and warmth become an experience," is fitting! I started with a Gin Basil. What a divine combination of flavors. I've never eaten such delicious oysters – rock oysters with raspberry vinaigrette. The char was a delight. To finish, homemade sour cherry sorbet with sparkling wine. Simply divine! Excellent ingredients and superb preparation paired with warm service and a beautiful view from the terrace. The locals say it's an expensive restaurant. I wonder how such quality can be offered at such a reasonable price. The restaurant rightly earned the Bib Gourmand award from Michelin.

After a hike around the lake, you should stop for a bite to eat. The lovely terrace offers a view of the landscape.

Five stars plus! The food is fantastic – cooked to perfection, seasoned to perfection, the ingredients fresh, seasonal, and regional. And you can taste it. The service is fast, courteous, and warm: you immediately feel at home. We'd like to particularly highlight the particularly friendly and very personal approach of the waiter, Mike: an all-around successful gastronomic experience. A clear recommendation!

Everything was perfect👍A taste explosion. I've never eaten so well. The service was also very friendly and funny, we had a bit of small talk now and then. The atmosphere was great😊. I would come back anytime 🫶

Visit for a business lunch on June 12, 2025. Reservations should be made even during the week. Especially on sunny days, a seat on the terrace overlooking Froschgrundsee is a special moment and invites you to linger. The restaurant's service is excellent; guests are recommended the daily specials or special offers, and inquiries are answered professionally. The menu is varied, with a focus on high-quality cuisine using regional ingredients. Both the starter and main course were presented with attention to detail and displayed a striking visual language. The dishes are very well seasoned and showcase a harmonious interplay of different flavors. Quality comes at a price; an evening at Froschgrundsee costs a little more than average, but the atmosphere invites you to enjoy a high-quality meal. A big thank you to the chef, who personally brought us a small appetizer to our table. Thank you very much, and keep up the good work.

The location on the FROSCHGRUNDSEE invites you to take a stroll before and after enjoying the fine food in the restaurant.

Yes, I can recommend it to everyone, even hikers, there is a beautiful hiking trail around the lake.

Very tasty food and a nice selection of drinks. Very, very nice service staff, and the view is the icing on the cake. I've been coming here for years and will continue to come for many more! :)

Highly recommended. Great value for money. The food is delicious and the service is excellent! We'll be back. :)

Service very friendly and a wonderful location. But unfortunately the opening times are not optimal. The cake and the beer were also tasty.

Nice service but unfortunately not optimal opening times. Beer and cake were tasty.

Very good coffee and cake. Very nice service and great ambience with a view of the Froschgrundsee and the ICE route.

We were completely impressed by the Froschgrundsee restaurant. As soon as we entered we were warmly welcomed and immediately put into a relaxed atmosphere by the attentive and friendly waiter. The culinary experience also left nothing to be desired. My gnocchi was perfectly prepared - soft but with just the right bite, and a wonderfully balanced sauce. The falafel also impressed with a crispy shell and a spicy but not overloaded interior. Every component on the plates was prepared with noticeable attention to detail. A restaurant that impresses with its quality of service and cuisine and is definitely worth a visit. We are already looking forward to the next time!

wir kommen hier immer her zum Mittagessen wenn wir nach Coburg fahren es ist immer wieder ein super Service und tolles Essen !!

It's worth it. There's nothing more to say

Great location, but... We arrived on a Sunday around 1:20 p.m. and wanted to have a coffee and try the cream puffs often mentioned in the reviews. Unfortunately, the owner (?) very arrogantly informed us that lunch was served until 2 p.m. Since we declined, we were reluctantly given a coffee and a "simple cake," which he can serve himself. Cake and cream puffs are only available from 2 p.m.!!! We were then asked when we would be having lunch on Sundays. And he continued this discussion with every guest until 2 p.m., and no one who arrived after us wanted lunch, just coffee...

Wonderful feel-good restaurant! Nice terrace to sit outside and enjoy the view of the lake and the sun. The food was incredibly tasty and the service was super nice. (Many greetings to Sarah and her efforts… we got home safely) Our little dog was a welcome guest :)

It's beautiful there. Very cozy restaurant with super friendly staff. Great ambience and a very great environment. The food was excellent.

A restaurant that is highly recommended, everything is perfect.

Wanted to spontaneously go for a coffee, very nice area but very well attended (Sunday afternoon with the best weather for excursions). The best option would be to inquire by phone or even make a reservation.

A truly star-worthy experience! The 4-course PLEASURE MENU in the Froschgrundsee was a culinary highlight. Each course, from the seared duck foie gras with purple curry to the tender Wagyu steak with popcorn polenta, was a work of art in itself. The crowning glory was the exquisite cream slice with blood orange ice cream. The ambience is upscale and stylish, but what really made the experience memorable was the service. The staff was exceptionally attentive, friendly and competent. They really looked after each guest and complemented the food perfectly. The Michelin star is absolutely deserved. If you're looking for an unforgettable gourmet experience, you've come to the right place!

Yesterday I was here again after a long break and was shocked at the prices on the lunch menu. The cheapest dish was a schnitzel from the lucky pig with potato salad and rapeseed for €21.50. The taste was okay, but the two small schnitzels were about 5mm thick (thin) without breading. I definitely won't come here for lunch again.

We had a very nice evening there. The restaurant is very comfortably furnished and you have a great view. The service was very friendly, considerate and accommodating. Parking spaces are directly in front of the restaurant. We'd love to come back again.

Very friendly and courteous service. And really, really good, delicious food. Everything is truly the best of the best.

Very tasty dishes for every taste with great service in a great environment. No matter whether it's Sunday lunch, dinner or just coffee and cream puffs. Good location for a subsequent walk.

Well attended, upper class. Very tasty. Always my pleasure.

Very pleasant restaurant. The food is regional on weekends. The service is great and very friendly, you should reserve a place in advance. The dishes are rich and very tasty. The service met our wishes. The waiting time was very short. Price-performance is OK. The only thing that wasn't so nice was that when it was full it was very loud.

A beautifully located restaurant! Price performance is right, delicious food! The most important criterion - I don't know the name of the gentleman who has always been serving there - but he is one of the main reasons why we come!! Always in a good mood, friendly, cheerful and patience personified, just super good, he lives his job!!👍👍

... an absolute highlight - super tasty. The only thing is that you should reserve in advance, but that's not a problem with the friendly staff.

We ate an extremely delicious schnitzel. Service and ambience with a view of the lake. Everything fits here.

Very tasty food with even better service

War heute mit Freundin bei euch,wurden gleich sehr freundlich begrüßt aßen Kalbsbraten und Lammbraten. Essen Spitze und die Klösse einmalig gut.Reservierten aufgrund der top Qualität gleich nochmal für Nov.während ich in Oberfranken Urlaub verbringe. Froschgrundsee kann ich nur empfehlen TOP,..

Great ambience, the food is not only a culinary delight but also a visual delight!!!

The food was great, the service was great. Simply great! Thank you for the lovely evening!

As hikers on the Green Belt, they arrived shortly before a closed group, and the two “stranded people” were given a café and cake. The small dinner was incredibly nice, packed up to take with us for the rest of the journey. Thanks so much. That something like this still exists today! Cheers!

Very good food, unobtrusive and very good service. Hardly possible to visit without a reservation.

A completely successful visit! The food was delicious and served quickly for our group of 10 people. The staff was very attentive and friendly and, above all, well-adjusted to children. We felt very comfortable and will definitely come back.

First visit. Impressive. Dinner early, around 6 p.m. The three of us will be there again soon. A la carte. Baked carp. Delicious 👌 I had vegan gnocchi (photo). Simply great. Service is just as impressive as the cuisine and P/L is appropriate. The area for running, hiking, etc. is worth a trip🏃🚴🚲

If you want to feast and enjoy, this is the right place for you.

100% recommended! Absolutely great cuisine and wonderful and warm service.

Great location in an absolute dream location

Everything was fine. food, ambience, Service. But everything is well paid too.

A lovely restaurant with a pleasant and informal outdoor area. Very friendly service, high price level, which does not harmonize with the dishes eaten on the lunch menu (Sunday), which reminded us of convenience food. It's a shame, we wanted to present something special to our invited guests.

Recommended. Remarkably attentive service, something you don't find very often these days.

Great ambience and very good service. Always my pleasure

Very friendly team and very good freshly prepared food! Of course you have to wait a while for the food, but anyone who has ever used a wooden spoon knows that everything takes time. We'd love to come back. Oh yes, be sure to reserve a table in advance.

Such a friendly team 🫶 We had fresh coffee and cake 🍰 and everything prepared with love 🙌

Spontaneous stop for coffee and cake. You can see and taste that the cake is homemade. The service was very friendly and with a little joke on her lips 👍🏻 I give it a full star rating.

Netter Empfang, Dackel willkommen, feines Gazpacho, schwarze Gnocci und Scholle, gute Preise, kommen wieder. Drinnen und draussen schön zum Sitzen.

Super nice, great view, delicious food and drinks, very friendly staff

Ein toller Service, sehr freundlich. Die Terrasse mit schönem Seeblick. Das Essen super aufeinander abgestimmt und hat alles sehr gut geschmeckt.

Lovely afternoon spent with delicious cake and coffee.

Blessed is the one who has a Mike in service

Excellent food. Very nice view and excellent service

The prices of the dishes are a little more expensive. But for the quality and service you get here, it's completely justified. Very nice service staff! From the beer garden you have a beautiful view over the Froschgrundsee.

great restaurant; very tasty food; nice service; beautiful view; fair prices; again any time

Enjoy life with a view of Froschgrundsee at sunset. A MUST in summer 😎

This hidden gem is located in the heart of the Upper Franconian tundra. Here, where the ICE glides futuristically over the Froschgrundsee, the restaurant offers a culinary experience of exceptional quality. Every dish, tasted by eight enthusiastic guests, was a masterpiece. The service? Extremely friendly. Here is an oasis of culinary delights - a recommendation that really deserves the Michelin star.

Everything was perfect here! The man in service was super nice, the food was great and the prices were ok. Plus a fantastic view! Highly recommended!

I've never eaten something so delicious. Come back 😊

Delicious food + beautiful view + nice service! Highly recommended!

We really liked the combination of the beautiful location with the great view and the delicious homemade cakes. Everything was just right here 👍

Very nice restaurant, very friendly and nice service and very tasty cake. We recommend.

A worthwhile excursion destination.

Great food. Kudos to the chef, also the service 👍

You just have to go there. Super, super good cuisine. Great atmosphere and a really great team.

The service was really very friendly and the terrace is also very nice with a view over the lake. Unfortunately, the food was extremely salty and also really expensive. I don't think the high prices are justified. Almost 60€ for 2 dishes and 4 beers is quite a price.

The food was very tasty and you can enjoy a beautiful view there. The service was very nice and friendly, unfortunately the waiting times for drinks and food were quite long, but still a clear recommendation.

The smoker evening is recommended.

In the great sunshine we managed to get a spot on the terrace and were able to enjoy the beautiful view over the Froschgrundsee. The fact that the table had not yet been cleared was undoubtedly tolerable, as the restaurant was still full and it was already 8 p.m. to 5 p.m. After just 10 minutes, the waitress came in a very friendly tone and told us that she had overlooked us and started to clear the table. Another 10 minutes later the order was taken and the table was already 10% cleared. Unfortunately, when the table was cleared, the tray and glasses were left on the table because the neighboring table asked for the bill. Despite the great weather, we with small children were slowly becoming impatient and wanted to despair, but unfortunately it was 5:05 p.m. and opening time was over. So unfortunately we left without receiving our order. We thanked us for the service because the service looked at us questioningly at 5 p.m. Now we know that service is very important here.

Great restaurant. Excellent food, including vegetarian and vegan dishes. The soup of the day is always amazing. Unparalleled service and hospitality, great views. All around great here - we come by regularly.

Very very tasty. The price is hefty. The food is very attractively prepared. The portions are usually reasonable. Except for the fish, where it was rather disappointingly not very clear and really too expensive. But the meat dishes were all very good.

Definitely make a reservation. Delicious cooking and good service! Both are more of a stroke of luck today. Thank you for a great lunch, it's a shame that we were there by chance and didn't come from the corner.

Best restaurant in the region. Not only can you enjoy very good food, you can also enjoy a fine glass of wine there. Perfect for relaxing after a walk.

Excellent food, incredibly friendly and courteous service. Thank you for the lovely evening with you!

Full marks for all areas. Cozy, well-kept restaurant with a wonderful view!

In winter you have to wear a jacket at lunchtime otherwise it's a nice restaurant with good food

A magical place with fantastic food and super friendly staff!!! Definitely coming back.

Really very good, beautifully presented food. Friendly, attentive and very nice service (Mike). The decor of the restaurant is not my taste, but others might like it too. We will definitely like to visit the terrace outside with a view of the lake when the weather is nicer.

Everything perfect! Extremely attentive, very friendly and professional service staff. All dishes were served in a short time and were really tasty. The house's motto "Where enjoyment and warmth become an experience" is lived out with extreme motivation by the entire team. That was my first, but it certainly won't be my last visit here... :-)

Super delicious food and a very nice atmosphere.

Nice location and good food. A classic in the region. We come here at least once almost every summer

Ein sehr gemütliches Restaurant und ein unglaublich liebes Team ❤️

Der Empfang war sehr freundlich. Essen war gut , allerdings haben die Essen sehr ähnlich ausgesehen mit viel Soße
