Restaurant Session (in Nürnberg): Heilig Geist Spital

For dinner, we went to the Heilig Geist Spital...

 

...in the inner courtyard. As it was a warm Summer night, it was perfect.

Wiener Schnitzel mit Brattkartoffel - or breaded veal cutlet with fried potatoes.

After dinner, we went for a small walk to enjoy Nürnberg by night.

 

The Church of Our Lady.

The Schöner Brunnen.

 

'Cheeeeeese!' :-)

Restaurant Session (in Nürnberg): Die Kleine Eismanufaktur

 After lunch, I went walking in direction to the Weissgerbergasse. To see...

 ...the beautiful houses but also to get...

 

...some dessert at Die Kleine Eismanufaktur. In hot days, nothing better than ice cream :-)

They have their flavors displayed in a very cool way outside the shop :-)

I got orange, rosemary and coconut. Creamy and full of flavor: absolutely love it :-)

Restaurant Session (in Nürnberg): Bratwursthäuslein

For lunch, I went to the traditional Bratwursthäuslein.

 

It was so hot, that even I had to have a beer (I'm normally not a fan) - a radler, actually :-)

 

6 Nürnberger Rostbratwürste, potato salad, and a side dish of tomato salad with onion.

The sausages are grilled over a fire done with beech wood: they are very, very tasty!

Visiting Nürnberg: The Albrecht Dürer House Museum

As it was going to be a very hot day, I decided to spend the morning inside the Albrecht Dürer's House Museum. It is a half-timbered house (Fachwerkhaus) and the only artist's house in Northern Europe surviving in original form from the Renaissance period.

 

The chairs have a cool design :-)

 

 Funky chandelier in format of a dragon.

A wooden printing press.

Cozy dinning room with...

...beautiful windows.

After the museum visit, time to have a look around, take some pictures, and go for lunch :-)

Visiting Nürnberg

While Roger is working, I went to visit the city :-) I have been in Nürnberg already a couple of times, so that takes the pressure off to have to visit all touristic points, and just leaves the joy to walk around in a relaxing way - the best way to visit a city :-)

Love the constructions and bridges...

...over the river Pegnitz.

 

Nice balconies with geraniums in bloom.

The beautiful Heilig-Geist-Spital.

 

The fountain Narrenschiffbrunnen from the artist Jürgen Weber.

The fountain reflects a woodcut of Albrecht Dürer (Das Narrenschiff - or The Ship of Fools). The interesting thing is that the fountain is a dry one - it was too expensive to have water around, so the city decided to leave it in the dry :-)

 

At the Hauptmarkt: it is a beautiful square!

 

Walking to the Frauenkirche Nürnberg (or Church of Our Lady) from 1358.

 

 This time I also visited the inside.

It looks very chilling to just sit around :-)

In the other side of the market, St. Sebaldus church and, more to the front, the Schöner Brunnen (or Beautiful Fountain).

 

 The fountain was build between 1385 e 1396. The original is at the Germanischen Nationalmuseum, and the one in the square is a copy made in 1903.

At the font grid, there are two golden rings - the legend says that it brings luck to touch and turn them. In Covid time, not sure anyone is doing it - at least not without disinfecting the hands afterwards :-)

Restaurant Session (in Nürnberg): Koch und Kellner

As Roger had a business dinner on the day we arrived in Nürnberg, I went for dinner by myself. And for the first time, I adventured to go alone in a Michelin Star restaurant. I took a book to have a distraction in between dishes, but enjoyed a very nice dinner!

As it was a Monday, the choice of restaurants was quite restrict. I went to the restaurant Koch und Kellner✨ from chef Gerald Hoffmann.

 

 As aperitif, a cocktail with sparking wine and peaches.

 

With the aperitif, a selection of amuse bouche: a chanterelle soup...

 

...a walnut cracker topped with roasted black pudding and...

 

...a mini quiche. Delicious!

 

As second amuse bouche, Breton mackerel.

 

Bread and butter.

 

As starter, eel, corn and coffee. Great combination!

[Aal | Mais | Kaffee]

 

With the first dish, a glass of 2011 Bockstein Ockfen Kabinet from St. Urbans Hof.

 

As second dish, red mullet in bouillabaisse and tomato.

[Rotbarbe Bouillabaissefond | Tomate]

 

With a side dish.

 

Pairing with the red mullet, a glass of 2019 Weisser Burgunder from Reinhold und Cornelia Schneider.

 

 As third dish, goat cheese ravioli, truffles, leek and black chanterelle. Very nice!

[Ziegenkäseravioli | Schwarzer Trüffel | Lauch | Herbsttrompeten]

 

With the ravioli, a glass of 2020 Gewürztraminer Homburg Goessenheim from Weingut Höfling.

 

As main dish, quail with ceps.In the original menu, it was lamb, but they made an exception for me.

 

 With the main dish, a glass of 2014 Rosso di Montepulciano from winery Salcheto.

 

 Dessert time! Peach, cucumber and rose.

[Pfirsich | Gurke | Rose]

With the dessert, a glass of 2018 Riesling from Stortz-Nicolaus.

With the espresso macchiato...

 ...the gourmandises. Perfect way to end a very nice dinner!

 

Walking back to the hotel, and enjoying...

 

 ...Nürnberg by night :-)
