The restaurant
History you can feel at the table
Our restaurant is not one hall but a succession of dining rooms. Tiled stoves that have warmed generations of guests, Rothenburg paintings from different eras and hand-carved figures after Tilman Riemenschneider, from whom the hotel takes its name.
There is as much room for 2 guests as for 150. We serve Franconian, seasonal food, with real enjoyment from kitchen and cellar. In summer it all moves out to the summer terrace.
