Schwarzer Bär — Restaurant in Weißenburg i. Bay.

I had to stay overnight in Weissenburg when on a business trip with my colleague. We found this lovely hotel directly on the main square. You can find free street parking in the vicinity (we parked behind the hotel near the butchers store and some local newspaper printingworks or whatever was that. Hotel is (or seems) old, but very "bayerish", warm, friendly. It has very distinct atmosphere and i must say we loved it. Rooms are simple - bed with above-average matress, small but working bathroom, no smell, mould or anything unpleasant, room was clean and well maintained. Heating was working flawlessly.||||For a family, room would be boring and too small, but if you are traveling in 2 people, its sufficient.||||The true highlight of this hotel, as mentioned earlier, is the atmosphere. You can see old wooden beams on the ceilings everywhere, original wooden doors, corridors are decorated with all sorts of antiquities. And dont get me started on the hotel restaurant downstairs. Great and authentic Bayerish food, large portions and well prepared, kind and friendly staff, good beer. We came around 18:30 for a dinner but stayed till around 22-23:00, just chatting and sipping beer after beer.||||To sum it up, if you dont expect a 4/5 deluxe hotel, you will be very pleasantly surprised. This hotel is a gem. Authentic, simple and properly aged (in a good sense!). Oh and very cheap too! Highly...

Für mich als Einheimischen ist es fast schon etwas schade, dass ich selber so gerne koche, denn aufgrunddessen gehe ich wohl eher selten auswärts Essen. Ohne nun aber die gesamte Speisekarte und die pfiffig- junge, aber dennoch nicht minder fränkisch- bodenständige Küche auf ein Gericht reduzieren zu wollen: Wenn ich DIE fränkische Spezialität schlechthin, das Schäufele mit Knödel und Soße, genießen will, bevorzuge ich den Besuch dieses altehrwürdigen Gastronomiebetriebs. Das bestens renovierte, historische Äußere im Zentrum der Altstadt verspricht genau das, was die Kochkünste dann spielerisch final zu halten imstande sind: eine professionell- leidenschaftliche Küche in fast schon mittelalterlich anmutenden Ambiente. Der edel gestaltete Innenbereich und natürlich auch der Minibiergarten am der direkt an der Fußgängerzone gelegenen Marktplatz, aufgrund seiner Nordost- Ausrichtung vor allem an heißen Tagen ein begherter Ort mit Kernschatten vom Gebäude und zusätzlichen Sonnenschirmen. Aber zurück zur regionalen Gestaltunsvariante der Schweineschulter! Eine Gabel muss genügen, um das zarte Fleisch vom schaufelförmigen (daher der Name) Schulterknochen zu lösen. Die Kruste muss schön trocken- kross zwischen den Kauwerkzeugen zerspringen! Genauso landet das Gericht auf dem Teller, garniert mit einem Kartoffelkloß und regionalen Bierspezialitäten ist für mich stets einen durchaus preiswerten Besuch wert! Dann bleibt zuhause halt die Küche kalt... Achja: Selbst mein fast schon kategorisches Vergessen des vorherigen Abbestellens des Salattellers stellt für das freundliche Personal nicht den Hauch einer...
