Spitalkeller - Regensburg

After a short walk in the 35 degree temperature three of us ended up in the Spitalkeller.As this was the week of the the Burgerfest there was a group of Bavarian musicians performing which added some local colour (but the younger member of our party was not over impressed with this :) )The food was traditional schweinebraten with potato noodles, sauerkraut and dumplings. And it was excellent as was the dunkles weissbier. Service was prompt and polite and the beer garden itself was well kept and shady.

Located across the river from the old town, and behind a retirement home. It is out of the way of most tourists, and not all that easy to find. That said, it offers a nice selection of food and the beer that they brew is very good. Now the food can be mixed. I had duck which was excellent, but the wife's goose was dry and overcooked and seemed to have been sitting around for awhile. Those that we were with had more traditional dishes and they all looked great. It can be difficult to find Bavarian food in Regensburg as the town is geared towards a college age crowd. Lots of pizza places and bars, but traditional Bayerische not so much. So if you need some good old southern (Germany) cooking I can recommend this place. Just stick to the popular food choices, not goose which takes a long time to prepare and is not easily kept palatable after cooking.

Food fine and very fast there. Serves very hard and friendly. Come back.

Beer garden right on the Danube. Shaky places, good bread time or good-bourgeois warm kitchen. A recommended excursion destination.

Thank you for the good food. The super service and the friendly staff. Come back.
