The story
At Polster Gourmet-Restaurant in Erlangen, Franconian cuisine reflects eight generations of family hospitality. Located near the city's edge in a village-like setting, the establishment balances deep-rooted tradition with contemporary approaches. Chef Johann Polster directs the kitchen after more than thirty years guiding the culinary direction. His skill in evolving regional classics gained national visibility when the team presented their modern take on Franconian dishes on the television program "Mein Lokal, Dein Lokal."
The Schlemmer Atlas awards this kitchen two and a half spoons, citing the balance between rustic preparations and precise execution. Diners often select the Spanferkel, a roasted suckling pig served to highlight the quality of the meat. The fresh Atlantik-Humor offers a luxurious contrast, demonstrating the kitchen's command over premium seafood. These dishes anchor the restaurant's reputation across both the gourmet salon and the traditional Franconian room.
The dining spaces offer distinct moods for different occasions. The wood-paneled interior creates a warm, enclosed atmosphere reminiscent of a historic estate. Guests preferring open air can dine on the green terrace, which maintains a sense of privacy despite the suburban location. This flexibility supports everything from casual midday meals to celebratory dinners, all under the same roof that has welcomed visitors for over one hundred and sixty years.

On the outskirts of the city, in almost village-like surroundings, you can dine on both suckling pig and fresh Atlantic lobster on the green terrace. Indoors, in the beautiful wood-paneled ambiance, of course you can too.
