Zum Gulden Stern - Historische Bratwurstküche in Nürnberg

The food was tasty and arrived quickly, but unfortunately, the value for money was pretty poor. Paying €16.40 for ten small Nuremberg sausages without any real side dish is outrageous.

Well, yeah. Totally touristy, but the sauerkraut is really good.

Great ambiance, quaint. Tables for sharing, but everything is quite close together, which is also part of the charm. The Sauer Zipfel (sausages) and the fried Nuremberg sausages were truly delicious, along with delicious sauerkraut. Unfortunately, the starters, liver dumpling soup and potato soup, were rather disappointing. The broth in the liver dumpling soup was good, but the dumpling itself was rather bland and should have been left to brew longer. The potato soup wasn't exactly a treat either. A very thin soup with potatoes and a few carrot pieces in it; generally very weak in flavor. The apple strudel is a standard frozen product, much to our daughter's dismay. If we had limited ourselves to the main courses, it would probably have been at least 4 stars.

We were a group of 22 people with a reservation on a Saturday evening. The ambiance is rustic and medieval, but with very hard wooden chairs and benches. Cushions were occasionally available only upon explicit request. Unfortunately, the price-performance ratio was not right at all; the portion sizes, the selection, and the quality of the food left a lot to be desired, unless you love greasy sausages. My potato soup was a thin broth with 5 small potato cubes and 3 bacon cubes the size of a coffee cup for €5.90, and the roll was an additional €1.20. Some dishes come with pretzels or rolls (like with Obazda or soups). Although the restaurant is open until 10 p.m., they were completely "out" by 8 p.m. and no more were refilled. Truly absurd. The crowning moment, however, was paying at the end. That's not possible with guests at the table. Every guest must report to the cash register before being served. So we all got up and stood in a long line across the restaurant. It was very comfortable for us and the other guests still eating. There's no other way to be hospitable.

Super delicious Franconian cuisine. Excellent value for money. We'll definitely be back.

Excellent, traditional food, with an almost medieval atmosphere. Friendly, courteous, and efficient service. Good prices.

This is our fourth time there and we highly recommend it. The food is fantastic! The service is super friendly, and you don't have to wait long for your food. If you're looking for something traditional, this is the place for you.

I like to go there when I'm in Nuremberg. The food is good, the atmosphere is great, and the prices are very reasonable.

And all those sausages I ate were worth the effort of cycling for so many kilometers. Nothing else interested me except those sausages. They were delicious, and that cabbage, and you, the beer, were finger-licking good.

Very nice atmosphere. The beer is excellent, plus I recommend the sloe liqueur. The girl Ari is in her place - she will always prompt and advise. The meat was tasty, the cabbage - just great. We were here six months ago, came here now, and will definitely come again. The only minus is that the strudel is still not the same. But nothing is perfect.

Very pretty, excellent traditional cuisine (I'll try the raclette again) and pleasant staff despite our late arrival. Out of the way but unmissable.

This place is just wonderful! A real half-timbered house with a recreated atmosphere of the Middle Ages - the best place to get acquainted with German cuisine! Meat and sausages cooked on an open fire and served on fancy tin plates will not leave you indifferent! As expected, they come with potato salad or cabbage. The portions are small, but quite sufficient. The beer is simply excellent! We will definitely come here again.

Very good atmosphere friendly staff

Delicious food, affordable price 😊

Yes, very nice atmosphere. Great "Röstla" (roasted beef). Friendly staff.

This is the worst place i have ever been to. The waiter is an old rude man and extremely unfriendly. He did not give us utensils and we had to borrow from the table next to us and he put us sitting with strangers even though there were many empty places in the restaurant. He even forced us to hang our clothes on hanger. We ordered two main cuisines but he only provided two slices of toast. Because of his bad services, we did not want to give him tips but he was asking for tips even though it was optional. I will never ever been there again and would not recommend to anyone.

Reservations are required if you're looking for a table that isn't for a group. The atmosphere is truly quaint, like stepping back in time. The waitresses are very kind and the service is excellent. The portions are quite small, allowing you to sample a variety of dishes.

Authentic Franconian Röstla (a traditional German dish) and other traditional dishes in an authentic atmosphere. Always delicious!

An excellent place to stop for lunch during a tour of Nuremberg. Delicious, high-quality traditional dishes. Good value for money. The fondue and the platter with the typical mixed grilled meats are truly unique.

A cozy restaurant off the beaten track. The tip was that it was in the Frauentor parking garage. A warm welcome, and a little history of the origins and regional partners on the menu. The sour sausages and the three-way sausage were excellent. You can choose from 6 to 20 sausages. There's something for every appetite. 🙂 If we're ever in Nuremberg again, we'll definitely visit the Gulden Stern again.

The sausages were perfect. Just perfect.

Absolutely nice, rustic restaurant.

Salzknöchle was delicious, the portion was a bit big, of course I say this because I ate it alone 😂

It is really the best nürnberger bratwurst!!! Also the atmosphere is perfect!!!

A must-see to try Nuremberg sausages. Super delicious food, truly incredible place.

We were there at lunchtime. It's a very rustic restaurant and calls itself the oldest bratwurst restaurant in the world. The Röstla are special. These are Nuremberg bratwursts, freshly grilled over an open fire, uncooked. We'd love to go back 😀

Absolutely charming, typical Nuremberg restaurant. With delicious Nuremberg specialties

Good quality food, but because it is German food, there is little quantity; in other restaurants they give us much more quantity.

It's absolutely worth preserving because of its authentic history. So go there, eat and drink, and support it.

Honestly, a huge disappointment. I went for dinner with my family after spotting the lovely terrace while out for a walk. Unfortunately, the charm ended there. From the moment we arrived, the service was unfriendly, we were looked at as if we were a nuisance, and only grudgingly given a table. We ordered four pretzels; only one arrived. We asked for three more, but they didn’t bring them until the waitress had finished chatting with another German table, who happened to say they didn’t want them. Then, and only then, we were given two pretzels, kept hidden under a cloth the whole time. When we went to complain and ask for the fourth, we were curtly told there were no more, in a rather unpleasant tone. To be fair, the food itself was good and the place is beautiful. But the only time we were treated kindly was when it came time to pay, along with the expectation of a tip. Overall, a real shame. With such a lovely setting and good food, it’s unfortunate that the poor service left such a bad taste

When we saw the restaurant we were thinking it looks quite local and thought it’s nice. However after we seated we had bad experience there. The guy was quite rude. We were pushed to order more food/ side dish and drinks and ignored our preference of sharing food as we had two seniors and two small kids and not prefer to eat too much. We never been pushed like that in other restaurants in Munich or Nuremberg. In the other restaurants we were free to order whatever we would like to. It ruined our mood and impression of the city, especially we walked a long way to find this restaurant. We just quickly ate and left and thinking never go again and be careful with our restaurant selection next time .

Everything was delicious, the atmosphere was traditional, and the service was impeccable. We'll definitely be back if we have the chance!

A must-visit when visiting Nuremberg. Very delicious food, Nuremberg sausages grilled over the fire. The rest of the food was also good. The side dishes could have been a bit more, but that's all. The staff, especially the young man and the native Slavic woman, were super friendly and attentive.

Beautiful historic place. Fair prices. Forgive them kindly. Recommended.

I went to this restaurant with my girlfriend and they put us at a table for eight, with somewhat limited space as it was a bit cramped. The food was good and we ate quite well, but the service was terrible: the waitress taking our orders didn't speak a word of English, preferring instead to make faces because she didn't understand and was in a hurry to order. When I went to pay, she also gave me the wrong change, but, as had happened before, she got annoyed again after I pointed it out.

I celebrated my birthday here. A great atmosphere and incredibly delicious food. Attentive service and reasonable prices. Parking is awfully difficult, so it's best to use public transportation. The oldest bratwurst restaurant in the world (1419) – as a Nuremberg resident, you have to go there at least once, twice, or even three times. Highly recommended for non-residents, too. ;-)

Such a good meal, with great atmosphere, outdoor seating on a quiet street

The atmosphere is great, the Nuremberg sausages are delicious, but if you're hungry, you won't be satisfied for €18 per portion. Our two children wanted a pretzel after their meal, but unfortunately, there was only one available (we were there at 6 p.m.). The pretzel arrived very dry and hard. There were no other side dishes for the children, and no ketchup either. Service was okay. It wasn't worth it for us; we spent €90 and didn't even get full.

We waited 20 minutes at a table and unfortunately, we didn't get a waitress to take our order, and only a few tables were occupied. There was also a terrible smell at the outdoor tables. I don't recommend it.

A very historic place with a wonderful ambiance. We had delicious food and enjoyed the wonderful atmosphere.

It was authentic, set in a very beautiful historic setting, at a reasonable price these days. I'd be happy to come back!

Staff spoke English and were friendly. Food was great.

The food is really good, and the welcoming atmosphere makes you feel like you've stepped into another era. Everything is made of wood. Beautiful! I recommend it.

Great, rustic restaurant with friendly service and delicious food.

It was an excellent experience, with excellent service and, above all, quality traditional cuisine. Highly recommended!!!

Beautiful historic building from 1419. Delicious original sausages.

A truly impressive meat feast! A historic restaurant located in Nuremberg. Great atmosphere, quality food, and fair prices make it a solid value for money. It happened to be close to the hotel we stayed at for the night, so we enjoyed a dinner of delicious sausages, chorizo, sauerkraut, and potatoes in this place full of history. For us, it was a five-star evening.

It was really delicious and the atmosphere was unique!

It used to be better Occasion: Visit with business partners during a trade fair. Food: Pools of gristle or bone in the Nuremberg bratwurst, lukewarm, bland sauerkraut, watery potato salad, a completely botched dressing on the leaf salad, tough and lukewarm pork medallions. Plus, the hard-working waitress kept dropping her cutlery. Restaurant: Historically cozy atmosphere Conclusion: Never again. You can get much better food elsewhere in Nuremberg.

The little sausages are good, you have to order 10 or 12. The side dish is not so good: cabbage with too much sauce. The waitress is really unpleasant.

A great restaurant with a genuine, historic atmosphere. A visit is worthwhile, and not just for tourists. The service was quick and friendly. The prices are fair. We'll definitely be back.

Must visit place when you are in Nürnberg first time.

Despite the satisfying food and the fascinating historical atmosphere, the waitress was completely unfriendly. She did not like first amount of which we had ordered, and she asked several times: "Is that all?" (This did not mean: "Is that all, What did you order?"). The food was again served in a rude manner. When it was time to pay, she pulled out the credit card reader. She covered the card touching area with the paper in her hand and showed the screen which showing the waitress tips menu “a kind of forced “ us for a tip, by pointing to the area on the device. I can say, that there are dozens of similar complaints about her on Asian social media accounts. I believe, such a historic place could be better off with much more professional and customer-oriented waiters. Waiters means not only, To take orders and bring food to the table; it is also about, To give the customer the feeling, welcome to be here. Even in a hospital doctor try to calm the patients and give them a sense of good vibe . But to be treated like that by a waiter in a restaurant . It was absolutely unpleasant. Even me, who usually doesn't comment any bad things and try share positive things always , I feel this time to let the know people what can be waiting for them with her , and there is absolutely no misunderstanding or anything like that. It is completely rude and intended waiters behavior.

I rate from 1 to 10, with 10 being perfect and 1 being very poor. Food - Taste: 5 Food - Presentation: 7 Portion Size: 3 Quality & Freshness: 5 Service / Friendliness: 7 Cleanliness: 6 Ambience / Atmosphere: 10 Value for Money: 6 Cuisine Style: Traditional Overall Impression: 6

We visited this place with our family, hoping to enjoy atmosphere and food. We ordered drinks and a portion of sausages to start, while still looking through the menu to choose more dishes. When the sausages arrived, I asked the waitress for a few extra plates so we could share. To my surprise, she told us we had to pay €1 for each extra plate or to order more , because they give you only one plate per person/dish. When I looked surprised, she added, “It’s normal in Germany,” clearly pointing out that we are not locals. She didn’t even ask whether we were planning to order more food (we were) . Instead, her attitude felt rude and unwelcoming from the start. I’ve lived in Germany for years and traveled a lot and I have never been charged for an EMPTY PLATE. This experience was truly disappointing. The food itself was okay, but the sausages were over-salted, and the staff’s behavior ruined the visit. We decided to skip the rest of our order, paid for what we already had, and left for another restaurant where we were treated with basic respect. Do not recommend. Not coming back.

Very good food, friendly service

Definitely a must-visit here in Nuremberg. The atmosphere inside is definitely 6 out of 5 stars. Delicious beer, a dozen Nuremberg sausages, and sauerkraut. It's perfect!

pretty good food, the beer was fantastic and the atmosphere/service are great

Almost overrated, servings are small and service is mediocre. I found the sausages overly too salty, bread too tough and restaurant dark, stuffy inside and extremely warm outside with shaded umbrellas that do not keep much to keeping the heat out. Came on a Sunday where it was not busy at all, service was very slow almost grumpy and rude where I cannot imagine what it will be like when it gets busy and packed with tourists. Good thing is, this pub is located right next to a shaded multi-storey carpark making it relatively easy to access without having to fuss about finding street parking. Good to visit once to experience, never returning again.

Wir hatten zum Abendessen reserviert und konnten im hübschen Aussenbereich sitzen und das sehr leckere Essen geniessen. Die Zubereitung der Würste auf dem offenen Feuer ist einmalig und ein Erlebnis. Die Gaststube ist sehr, sehr urig, der Aussenbereich gemütlich. Preis Leistung stimmt und die Bedienung war sehr freundlich.

Yes, the "Goldener Stern" restaurant is a bit touristy, but the Nuremberg bratwurst still tastes really good. The staff is super friendly, and the light beer pairs perfectly with it. The building is beautifully typical German and creates a cozy atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit if you're in Nuremberg.

Very rustic sausage kitchen, you must go in if you are in Nuremberg

Great Nürnberg experience - highly recommend!

Great location, really cozy. The roasted potatoes were very good, the sauerkraut was fantastic. The beer was also very drinkable. I'll definitely stop by again. A true gem in Nuremberg. We visited again today and met Björn and Sofia, who were working on a new episode of Bratwurst and the City. Keep up the good work, I'm a big fan of yours.

You can eat this sausage anywhere in the city. But if you want to turn it into a feast, this is the right place. The sausages are delicious. Even the bread that came with it was great. The environment is very clean. The employees are smiling.

Historic, Franconian bratwurst cuisine with a great atmosphere, delicious sausages and friendly service...and 🍺.

Awesome shop that takes you to another era as soon as you enter. The food is fantastic as is the service

Highly recommended. Historic ambiance, friendly staff, and hearty, traditional dishes.

昨天晚上我独自一人到这家餐厅用餐，没想到却遭到了宰客！我点了一份纽伦堡大香肠9.5欧元和一杯0.5L的白啤5欧元，一共应该是14.5欧元。买到的时候服务员拿过来的账单是22.5欧元，经过一番交涉之后我最终付了17.5欧元，我不想与她再理论因为我是一个人来旅游的。服务员态度挺差的可能她生活不如意吧。

I had the fondue with pretzel and the salt Knockel with sauerkraut. Both very good. Washed it down with the Urfrankische dark beer. Service was quick and I wasn't pressured to move along and able to just take my time and enjoy the atmosphere of the place. The kitchen is literally in the middle of the restaurant. If food smells bother you then get a table outside.

Very old Bavarian restaurant in Nuremberg, traditional food. Was pretty good

Historic place for sausages...must try!!

Very good traditional german food and excellent beer.

Here, boiled supermarket sausages are passed off as Nuremberg roast sausages, even the loin and the herb butter taste like nothing, after a long discussion, no manager is any good, and they definitely advise against a visit to the Guldenstern, excessively expensive, touristy food.

Great rustic place to eat, definitely worth a visit.

OMG! I had the MOST delicious brats & sauerkraut here! I was in Germany as a child and finally made it back. These brats brought back fond memories!They are cooked to order by a wonderful chef! So good! We came for lunch, then dinner the next day! The atmosphere is authentic & cozy. The service was friendly and accommodating.

My first time visiting this original Zum gulden Stern, amazing delicious food in a friendly atmosphere went back times in my short visit highly recommended 👌

A very traditional restaurant with an amazing feeling from the moment you walk in. The girl who took us to our table was very polite and helpful. Everything we ordered was tasty and well cooked but the portions are kind of small compared to the prices and also to the other places we ate those days.

Traditional Nuremberg cuisine, delicious and homely

Five stars for the place, we come mainly for the traditional setting.

We discovered this restaurant through the book "111 German Inns You Must See." We were accompanied by friends who had once lived in Nuremberg and weren't familiar with the restaurant. The visit was fantastic; the restaurant is quaint and cozy, and the menu includes local and national cuisine. It was delicious. The service was excellent, and the restaurant is a pleasant place to linger. We really enjoyed it and can highly recommend it.

Just okay, no major flavor fireworks

We didn't try the foods. But drinks and ambiance were wery good

Very friendly staff and delicious food! The Nuremberg bratwurst was very good, but the apple strudel was simply heavenly! Highly recommended!

Vicinissimo al nostro albergo Il locale è storico, uno dei più antichi della città; internamente è quasi tutto in legno, ma noi abbiamo preferito accomodarci all'esterno. Il servizio è veloce e il filetto di maiale ottimo.

We were at the Gulden Stern with a choir and about 60 people. Thanks to the reservation and advance notification of how many and which dishes we wanted, everything was very well prepared and organized. The food and drinks were delivered quickly, the waiters were very friendly, and it was a very pleasant evening spent with many good conversations and a few songs. Thanks to the Gulden Stern!

Very close to our hotel The place is historic, one of the oldest in the city; inside it is almost all in wood, but we preferred to sit outside. The service is fast and the pork fillet is excellent.

Wonderful atmosphere, history and food. Service great too. If you only eat in one place in Nuremberg, make it here.

Il locale è molto accogliente, il cibo è ottimo ed il personale attento e gentile. Una vera perla in una zona tranquilla. Assolutamente da consigliare

The food and the staff's attention are very good. We went by making a reservation. I would like to go again. It has a special beauty with its rustic structure. As someone who doesn't like beer very much, I especially loved the lemon beer.

Quaint and located in the old part of Nuremberg, with old charm and a very Franconian feel! The food is served on zinc plates, accompanied by beer. The ambiance is perfect, especially rustic inside. The side dishes could be a bit more substantial, but they are delicious. Service is friendly and very attentive.

Simply beautiful and the sausages are a dream!!

Since the restaurant isn't that big, we made a reservation just in case. In our opinion, it's authentic and absolutely cozy; full marks. We ordered drinks and received them promptly, cool and delicious, just as it should be. The food arrived a few minutes later, and we were truly pleasantly surprised. We had one Saue Zipfel with bread and one 12 Röstla with cabbage and pretzels. Everything was 100% to our satisfaction, and my favorite was the cabbage, which was soooo delicious. Don't worry, after enjoying it, everything will be fine in your stomach, too. I certainly didn't have any "aftereffects" after eating it 😄 The service was also very friendly and attentive, and the value for money is also good. We would recommend everyone to stop by here for a nice, enjoyable time.

Typical Franconian Nuremberg cuisine.

We stayed outside to sit because it was so nice. And even on the street, the atmosphere was perfectly fine. The service was quick and very friendly. We didn't find the bratwurst itself that tasty; it was more dry than a treat. The potato salad and cabbage were good, though. But that's not why I go to this restaurant. There are better Nuremberg restaurants for the price...

Quaint restaurant. Delicious food and great service.

Zum Gulden Stern isn’t just a restaurant—it’s the most authentic and oldest bratwurst kitchen in the world and stepping inside is like stepping back in time. It’s family-run, full of the kindest people you've ever met, and serves food the traditional way—slow-cooked over an open fire. The staff is warm, the food is incredible, and the entire experience was one of the highlights of our trip.

Nuremberg sausages are a type of sausage that suits Japanese tastes well, and are sold in some Japanese department stores. However, they are quite expensive. They are also widely sold in supermarkets throughout Germany, making them a fairly common sausage. Anyway, this time I was going to Nuremberg to buy a Bechstein piano, so I knew I had no choice but to try the famous sausages. So, hungry, I headed to the store I was looking for. The sausages were quite small compared to the general size in Germany, and you had to specify the number you wanted when ordering. They were grilled until crispy, so they went very well with beer. I came by car, but in Germany you can drink up to a pint of beer without being charged with drunk driving, so of course I only had one. Feeling a little mellow, I went to see the piano. Germany is a great country, isn't it?

Delicious food, incredible history, superb atmosphere. I've been here twice in the last year, same wonderful service and food both times. Unforgettable and unique experience.

The place is very pretty, a rustic space that looks like something out of a history book. The food is quite good, though not outstanding. The waitress was quite friendly.
