Good food, simply simple. This recipe for success has been followed at the traditional Franconian restaurant Alter Simpl on Bohlenplatz for almost 50 years. Only high-quality, fresh ingredients go into the cooking pots. Homemade Franconian and grilled specialties are served to guests in the lovingly decorated parlor. Accompanied by a freshly drafted Franconian beer, the Alter Simpl knows how to impress with Franconian hospitality, even in these fast-paced times. Guests enjoy the view of the idyllic Bohlenplatz from the Alter Simpl terrace. Erlangen residents also like to meet here for a cozy after-work beer in the beer garden to round off a long day.

This traditional German restaurant has been run by the same family/owner for decades, and the staff and regulars have remained unchanged over the years. In short, it's a place where tradition still holds sway. One glance inside the restaurant is enough to see that great attention to detail is paid to the work here.

The menu includes Schäuferle (pork shoulder), homemade grilled sausages, Leberkäse (liver sausage), meatballs, and cheese spaetzle. The Alte Simpl serves hot meals throughout the day.
