4 Best Restaurants in Franconia and the German Danube, Germany

Perhaps the best quick snack option in Coburg, this cozy little Argentinian-Colombian cafe serves all manner of empanadas (both meat and vegetarian options), along with sandwiches, Spanish omelettes and sweet treats. The coffee is good, too—as is the Quilmes beer.

In a city famous for its cafés, Anna is a safe chain of high-quality bakeries in Regensburg and one of the best places for coffee and cake in the afternoon. Breakfast under the vaulted ceilings is pleasant, as are the sandwiches to go. The wonderful bread and pastries more than make up for the often-surly baristas.

A modern two-level café and bar, Felix offers everything from sandwiches to steaks, and buzzes with activity from breakfast until the early hours. Light from an artsy chandelier and torchlike fixtures bounces off the many large framed mirrors.

A traditional German pub with a summer terrace that spills out across Maximilianstrasse, this popular place specializes in high-quality Franconian fare, from roast venison with dumplings and cabbage to grilled pikeperch with potato risotto. Look out for seasonal specialties, too, such as strawberry and white asparagus salad. Don't worry if it's too chilly to sit outside: the huge glass ceiling over the dining room gives it a light and airy atmosphere, even in winter.
