“To Hell” is in a building dating back to AD 900—claimed to be the oldest in town. With an extensive selection of Franconian wine and a delicious house beer, you'll have a nice late evening experience.

Tobingo Doner

$

This tiny outpost just off the main square reflects the growing popularity throughout Germany of Middle Eastern food, alongside popular home-grown staples like currywurst but also American staples like burgers and chicken nuggets. There are a few tables inside and a few more on the narrow sidewalk outside, so this is also popular for take-away for visitors in nearby hotels.
