Gaststätte Alter Simpl : Bohlenpl. 2, 91054 Erlangen

I really enjoyed the restaurant and the overall vibe! You definitely have to try their Schäufele(a german dish). It’s not the most unique dish, but it’s absolutely worth tasting. Their schnitzels are also excellent. Plus, the waiters were genuinely friendly. Highly recommend!

It was a pleasant surprise. Tasty German food and friendly atmosphere. We loved this experience. Planning for more visit and bringing friends also.

Alter Simpl is a classic German restaurant not for the faint hearted. They serve all the classical German dishes you can think of, especially the famous Nürnberger Wurst. You must reserve in advance otherwise it is very challenging to find an empty spot. I unfortunately didn't feel welcomed by the waiter greeting me. After I mentioned I didn't reserve in advance, he immediately mentioned that there are no empty tables, but there were numerous in the upper floor and I know because some of our colleagues were already sitting at their table upstairs and confirmed so. I must say though the food is phenomenal, it has such an authentic taste and a hearty feeling to it. Some of those recipes must be original from hundreds of years ago. I got their grilled pork with wurst meal, it was tasty fulfilling and had a big portion, all that while very modestly priced. The schnitzel meal comes with not 1 pieces, but 2. This i couldn't believe, because they are huge. The meals are served with fresh salad with a side of roasted german potatoes. For dessert I got the deep fried apple rings covered with cinnamon and sugar which comes with 2 scoops of bourbon vanilla icecream and whipped cream, a perfect end for a perfect meal. They also have many kinds of beer to choose from. They are all very fresh with a silky texture to them. If I'm ever in Erlangen again, I will go straight there for dinner on my 1st day
