The story
Altdeutsches Restaurant is part of the Hotel Deutsches Haus, a property that spans two buildings in the heart of Dinkelsbühl’s medieval old town. The restaurant occupies the historic Stammhaus, a listed building that exudes the charm of centuries past, while its kitchen draws on the best of both tradition and modernity. The result is a dining experience that feels both timeless and fresh.
The kitchen focuses on contemporary interpretations of classic regional dishes. Every plate is built around fresh produce sourced from trusted local farmers and producers, reflecting a true farm-to-table philosophy. The menu changes with the seasons and offers a thoughtful selection of appetisers, soups, meat and fish dishes, as well as vegetarian options. Highlights include the Fränkischer Zwiebelrostbraten (Franconian onion roast beef) with homemade Schupfnudeln, and the Dinkelsbühler Spiegelkarpfen, prepared in several ways – from beer batter to Franconian Riesling. For those seeking a deeper exploration, an exclusive six-course menu is also available.
The restaurant’s commitment to quality has earned it a Michelin Recommended distinction, alongside a Bib Gourmand and Slow Food certification. The atmosphere is refined yet welcoming: modern minimalist design meets the warmth of a historic building, with exposed stone walls and clean lines. In fine weather, outdoor seating on the Weinmarkt square offers a chance to dine under the open sky, surrounded by the architecture of a bygone era.
Altdeutsches Restaurant is more than a meal – it is an invitation to experience the flavours of Franconia in a setting that honours both the past and the present. Whether you choose a la carte or the chef’s tasting menu, every dish reflects a deep respect for local ingredients and culinary craftsmanship.
