Alte Küch’n & Im Keller

Alte Küch’n and Im Keller are two traditional restaurants in the heart of Nuremberg's old town, near the Imperial Castle and the main market. These family-run establishments blend historical charm with local tradition and offer a combined seating capacity of around 200 places. Alte Küch’n has a cozy, homely atmosphere reminiscent of a grandmother's room, where guests can watch the chef prepare the dishes. Im Keller is located in an impressive vaulted medieval cellar from the 12th century and provides a unique ambiance that transports guests back in time. The restaurants specialize in hearty Franconian dishes and special culinary delights, including traditional meat dishes, soups, and flatbreads. Themed medieval evenings, such as the Knight's Feast and the Emperor's Feast, are held in the vaulted cellar and feature immersive rituals, period-inspired service, and live music from the resident bard. These banquets also offer vegetarian, vegan, and pork-free options. Mead, served in a horn, complements the rustic, theatrical atmosphere, making the experience both warm and unforgettable.
