The story
Alt-Ringlein Restaurant-Hotel at Dominikanerstr. 9 in Bamberg serves a Franconian kitchen with Bavarian roots, and the Schlemmer Atlas awarded it 1 Kochlöffel in 2026. The restaurant sits in a hotel and takes its place in the old town's busy centre, with seating both indoors and outdoors.
The menu is built on regional specialties. Crispy Schäuferla, the pork shoulder, sits alongside pork hock (Haxen), Fränkischer Sauerbraten and Bamberger Krenfleisch, a pork dish served with horseradish. Bratwurst also appears on the list. The trophy's panel singled out the pork shoulder, hock, sauerbraten and horseradish pork as the dishes that taste best here.
Bamberg's smoked beer, Rauchbier, is central to the drinks list. The house pours two versions to compare, Spezial Rauchbier and Schlenkerla Rauchbier. Helles, Ungespundetes (a U) and Weisse come fresh from the cask. Wine drinkers will find options too.

Right in the heart of the old town scene, indoors or outdoors, Franconian pork shoulder, pork hock, sauerbraten, and Bamberg horseradish pork all taste fantastic.
