Nuremberg's Wirtshaus and beer-garden culture is overwhelmingly dog-tolerant. The Hauptmarkt, the streets around the Kaiserburg, and the Pegnitz riverside concentrate dozens of dog-friendly terraces year-round.
The most famous Bratwurst restaurant in Nuremberg, grilling over beechwood embers since 1419. Original Nürnberger Rostbratwurst on pewter plates with sauerkraut and potato salad.
💡 Order in multiples of 6, the traditional way. The outdoor terrace under chestnut trees is the prime dog seat.
Cosy traditional Wirtshaus 5 min from the Hauptmarkt. Franconian cuisine, Schäufele, Sauerbraten, Karpfen blau, in a wood-panelled interior. Local crowd, slow service, fair prices.
💡 Closed Sundays. Reservations recommended for dinner, only 40 seats inside.
Café-restaurant on the cobbled Tiergärtnertor square at the foot of the Kaiserburg, with one of the city's prettiest terraces. International menu, brunch, good coffee.
💡 Sunset light on the Kaiserburg façade from this terrace is the best in Nuremberg, book a table outside between 19:30 and 20:30 in summer.
