This restaurant was recommended by my hotel. Be aware - from the outside it appears to be quite large but inside it's actually quite small - inevitably you will end up sharing a table. But to be honest, this wasn't a major problem as I ended up having some fascinating discussions with my fellow diners! Great atmosphere and service. Food... More

We have been several times over the last couple years and have yet to have a bad experience. The atmosphere is wonderful; very cozy, but perhaps a bit cramped. If you are going on a weekend, make a reservation. Roasted pork dishes dominate the menu- and for good reason. The haxen (shank) is perfect; if your up for a challenge... More

My husband and I have lived in Bamberg for a year now and we love Kachelofen! We have been many to many different restaurants here and Kachelofen has some of the best German cuisine we have found yet! The servers are very friendly and you it typically doesn't take long for the food to get to the table, even on... More

Good german restaurant. Not very big. They have a couple long tables. Whenever there is room at the table you will be accomodated. So you will be sitting with other people at the table. The smaller (4 person) tables where all taken by the time we arrived. Nevertheless the food was excelent and the beer tasted good (by the way,... More

We were lucky enough to get a shared table about 15 minutes after our arrival. The hearty and huge meals were excellent albeit simply too much food. My wife had the haxen and I had a steak with...

We stopped here for lunch while in Bamberg and were not disappointed. The service was very fast and friendly, and we both sampled Rauchbier and Franconian specialties. The food was good, authentic, and very reasonably priced. The portions were generous and fortified us for the next few hours of sightseeing. It was a very cozy place to escape the cold... More

This place was my favorite restaurant in Bamberg. The food was classic Austrian cuisine, and they also served seasonal favorites. I had some farmer's sausages, onion cake, and sturm (new, sweet wine served only in autumn). Everything was delicious, and my friend was also pleased with all of his food. The waiter was very nice. We visited when it was... More

I am German and live in Kanada. Took my Canadian friends for a typical Franconian meal with Schauefele, Knoedel, Rauchbier and Schnapps. They loved it. Great food and wonderful service!

We have eaten here several times and it never disappoints! When it's in season the spargel soup is amazing, but just about anything off the menu is delicious. I mean a schnitzel is a schnitzel, but this is the best schnitzel I've had. You cannot ask for a better setting as it's located right in the hubub to there are... More
