Best places to eat in Bamberg?

Good places to eat near Bamberg / Hallstadt Germany?

• Hi, I live in Hallstadt, Germany and am looking for somewhere good to eat......any suggestions??? What are some tasty dishes to try???

• Answer:

  I have just been living in Bamberg for about six months, but... For Franconian food, I really like the Klosterbraeu (http://www.klosterbraeu.de/Bamberg/index_micro.htm) and Zum Domreiter (http://www.zum-domreiter.de/impressum.html), and have also heard good things about Zum Sternla (http://www.sternla.de/). I would recommend trying Schweinebraten (roasted pork), Wirsing (a cabbage dish that is similar to creamed spinach), Kloss (potato dumplings), and of course local beer to go with it. Zum Domreiter often has a lot of game dishes too (goose, venison, rabbit, etc.) on special and they've always been fabulous. If you're looking for sandwiches, etc., head to the Austrasse. On weekdays, almost all of the cafes have lunch specials for 5€ or less. In particular, I end up at Esspress (http://www.esspress.de/) a lot. Orlando has 3€ pasta from 11.30-12 and from 18-19. Hofcafe is great for a coffee or beer. The best kebabs in town are at Lokanta in the Luitpoldstr., between the train station and the Luitpoldbruecke. And in my opinion, the best ice cream in the world is at the Konditorei right by the Mohrenhaus, not quite on the Lange Str. and not quite on the Untere Bruecke, either.
