Heilig-Geist-Spital

Nuremberg


Lots of dark carved wood, a herd of hunting trophies and romantic candlelight make this former hospital, suspended over the Pegnitz, one of the most atmospheric dining rooms in town. Sample the delicious, seasonally changing menu inside or out in the pretty courtyard. A real treat if you are looking for somewhere traditional to dine.
