Kurlbaum

Michael Kurlbaum has run his restaurant with great dedication since 1986. Spread over two floors, this place exudes a timeless elegance – in summer, a few additional tables are set up out front in the pedestrian zone. There are plenty of regulars who come for the classic cuisine. Lunch in the bistro area on the ground floor is popular too – they serve a moderately priced two-course set menu that changes weekly. This includes a bottle of water, and dessert is available as an optional extra. If you order in advance, you can also choose from the evening menu at lunchtime. Convenient for motorists

Reviews frequently praise the high food quality, innovative changing menus, and professional, attentive service within a soothing atmosphere.

Hackbarth's Restaurant

Tip: It is advisable to make a reservation for the weekend (Fri and Sat).
