Alte Küch`n und Im Keller - Nürnberg

Nice terrace with a good selection of food. The local beer here is Keller, and it's worth the experience

We really wanted to go to the Im Keller and eat because of the history of the cellar; however, they are closed on Sunday. We then made reservations to eat at the Alte Küch'n. My son ordered the French onion soup which had a German twist on it by frying the top of the cheese and setting it on top of the soup. The soup was delicious with the fried cheese and changed the perspective on broiled cheese usually placed on top of the soup. It did not have bread under the cheese, just a few croutons on top. He ordered the Veal Schnitzel which was tasty as well. My husband had the peppercorn medallion pork with potato pancakes. The cold potato salad was good that they served with the schnitzel. The potato pancakes were a disappointment. I love potato pancakes and growing up, my grandmother who was Pennsylvania German would make it all the time. They should be crispy on the outside and have a tasty center. The potato pancakes served did not taste fresh, were burnt and served with way to much dill on top. They were also super greasy. I would give the restaurant a four if it wasn't for the potato pancakes. The prices were also expensive for what the quality of the food was. The desserts were very scrumptious, especially the raspberry with cream and my son did enjoy his apple strudel with cream. Note that the liter of water was really expensive at 7.90 euro for 1 liter. I wouldn't mind paying these prices for the Im Keller, because of the cool ambience and experience, but in my opinion, not worth the price for the Alte Kutch'n.

Oh gosh what an unpleasant experience. Yes we are America tourist and I completely felt like we were just a problem in the way. It was midday we were in this city for the day and of course wanted to experience some food from this area. I am not sure why we stayed here ...but we did. I noticed there was plenty of seating in the back however we were crammed in a table really close to 2 other parties. I get it if there were reservations but there was no one showing up Wait staff was rude and we had to wait a long time for beverages and refills. I wanted to just try a potato dumpling however she said it only comes with meals and I can't get one alone. Ok. I ordered potato cakes and they were fair. Maybe they are just tired of tourist. Not on a list to visit again.

If you're in the mood for some traditional German food, Alte Küch'n Im Keller is a great option. The food is excellent, but the service can be a bit slow. Prices are reasonable, making this a great place to eat without breaking the bank.

Now this is a really cool restaurant with exceptional good food. It's not cheap but definitely value for your money. Also the size of the portions is more then enough, and I am a big eater.
