Zum fränkischen Wirtshaus : Nürnberger Str. 12, 91207 Lauf an der Pegnitz

I was very positively surprised that this mix concept with Asian and Franconian food worked so well. There is something for everyone on the menu. The taste was very good, but the mushroom cream sauce from my pork loin could have been a little heartier. The homemade lemonade is also very tasty but a bit too sweet for me. Will definitely come back 👍

Went to the “Fränkisches Wirtshaus” in Lauf an der Pegnitz on Mother’s Day. I have often noticed the house, which is located directly on the B14, while cycling past. From the outside it makes a rather inconspicuous impression. At home I looked up more details about the “Wirtshaus” on the web. The food combination is rather unusual: Franconian-German-Asian. I called shortly after 11 a.m. to ask for space, as it was Mother's Day and at quite short notice. The reservation has been confirmed when we arrive soon. Since we generally go to dinner around 11:30 a.m., no problem. The interior design surprised us positively. Unfortunately it doesn't have an outdoor area. There are 2 dining areas downstairs and then the stairs take you to the upper guest room, where the toilets were also located. Only the lower (conditionally) room would be suitable for wheelchair users. The menu (available on the web or FB. In general, make sure it is up to date) is more visually classic. I ordered a wheat beer, and my companions ordered homemade lemonade. We were the first in the restaurant, the service was friendly and attentive the whole time, even though more and more guests came after us, and she brought the orders, drinks and food almost alone. Later a young man came to help her. The service, probably also the "boss", had everything under control... TOP. The waiting time for drinks and food was absolutely more than OK... The side salad was wonderfully fresh and tasty and sufficient, my "crispy duck" was a dream (14.90 €) and my companions had "grilled pork loin" (15.90 €), according to their statement, also very tasty. What struck me negatively: I found out about the menu online beforehand, some of which were completely out of date. Then one website said opening time was 11:30 a.m. and the other said opening time was 11 a.m. On the door it said "cash only", which is absolutely not OK these days, especially for such a great "tavern". In terms of price, everyone can offer their own opinion (the current menu is available on FB as of 5/2025). I found the prices for the food to be absolutely OK. But for the drinks a bottle of Weizn €4.20 and the soda €5.50 (0.4 l) are absolutely excessive for our area. City dwellers may see it differently. Because of the drinks prices, which are excessive for me, no card payment and some of the data on the web (menu, opening times, etc.) are not up to date, there is a deduction of one point.

Very tasty food at reasonable prices. Both the sushi and the other dishes like chicken, schnitzel, and roast pork were all plentiful and freshly prepared. The only complaint was that it was very cold, but we were the only guests, so perhaps that's why the heating wasn't on. We'd be happy to come back.
