Restaurant Goldenes Kreuz

Traditional. Modern. Franconian.

Immerse yourself into historic atmosphere of Franconian tradition. Always a luscious dining experience, guests savor regional food such as Coburg's dumplings, grilled saussages and Franconian bread meals. We are happy to cook with fresh ingredients sourced from local producers to ensure the authentic taste of Franconian cuisine.

The historic restaurant - one of the best in Germany

Our house, which is the oldest building in Coburg, served since 1508 as a tavern. The team of the Goldenes Kreuz continues the long tradition and serves guests regional food and the home-made beer Kreuzrunk.

We are proud to be one of the 40 best historic restaurants in Germany. This is the result of the federal contest "Historic Restaurants in Germany" conducted by the BHU (Home and Environment Union) and DEHOGA (Federal Hospitality Association).

History

Tavern since 1508

We are proud to be one of the best historic restaurants in Germany. In 2009 the Federal Hospitality Association together with the Home and Environment Union (BHU) has honoured the 40 best historic taverns in Germany. The Goldenes Kreuz persuaded the jury with the authentic architecture and genuine cuisine.

The Roots

The history of the eldest building in Coburg dates back to the 13th century. The houses in the street Herrnhasse 1 and 3 were originally connected and used to serve as a carriage shelter, craftsmen storage and workshop and, lately, as an inn and tavern.

The First Host in 1508

The first host mentioned in a written documentation in 1508 was Jörg Mode. The name "Goldenes Kreuz" (Golden Cross) was given to the tavern by Johanna Christiane Bachmann in 1815.

Today

The extensive renovation of the eldest building in Coburg took 3 years and was completed in 2005. For the current owner it was an issue of great importance to perform the architectural conservation of the building very carefully and professionally as well as not to use the public funds rather than investing private resources.

In addition to the historic dining room and a terrace overlooking the market square, two patios has been created. In cozy loggias, the patios provide guests between the old walls space for pleasant time-spending.

Come in our restaurant in Coburg and feel the taste of Coburg's history and Franconian cuisine!

**** "The food here is a notch up from most of the other eateries in Coburg and the space is very nice with it's interior courtyard. Staff are pleasant and the food is well presented and tasty. If you're in Coburg for only one night - this is the place I would recommend."

***** "Having never travelled to Germany previously the restaurant experience is very different to those in the UK, Spain or France. The setting for this restaurant is very good with many tables being set around a covered courtyard, a very pleasant setting to eat. The food is very tasty and well presented with a lot of different choices. There is also a large choice of beers available to go with your meal. It was very handy that the waitress had better English than our host as the menus are just in German, certainly made it fun choosing.."
