Situated near city hall in a building that was home to experimental Romantic novelist Jean Paul, this friendly spot is welcoming, and the food is good. I had the remarkably inexpensive set-menu, which included antipasto (grilled vegetables in pesto, sprinkled with parmesan); pasta (interesting citron and mascarpone filled ravioli with salted figs and light cream sauce); a surprising rendition of sauerbraten that was more bitter than sweet, and accompanied by roasted potatoes rather than a daunting knoedel; and a light deeply chocolate mousse. The regular menu has a nice selection of local dishes. I had a beer named after Jean Paul. The server acted as though I was the only customer--so, no complaints there!

Excellent-- perfect location near the Festspielhaus, so you can have lunch or even an early dinner before the (usually very long) opera. They have special pre-opera menus, to ensure you won't be late. The service is good, speaks several languages, and the food was very good.

This is a semi-Italian restaurant. Nice dining room with spacious seating. Good food, although the carpaccio was - as so often - not completely unfrozen. Service a bit strange, for example walking up to a table with the dirty dishes from another table or not saying goodbye when leaving. Reasonably priced.

We ate on a weekday night, so it was not crowded. The menu offers a wide variety of dishes but emphasizes steak and Italian dishes. We started with antipasti that was attractively presented and tasted as you would expect something that took careful preparation. Our meals were the same, attractive to look at and better to eat. The wine selection was sufficient and had several that you rarely see. Our red was also excellent. There was no room for dessert when the time came. While we were very pleased with the food and thought the restaurant above average in its decor, the prices were a bit steep. With that in mind, we still recommend Dötzer enthusiastically.

The place is pretty big, with a really nice terrace seating in the back. The food is truly average, I would expect much better for the price. The grilled prawns very overdone and absolutely tasteless, the salad was quite good. Service is horrible, probably underpaid student staff who have no experience at all. On the bright side - they were pretty flexible with the vegetarian requests from my friend, so there's the third star. I don't think I would go again.

Kraftraum offers a cool and hip environment with a touch of food on the side. So far - so good, due to the fact that in this respect Kraftraum is no different from various other establishments worldwide - offering a care-free student-like atmosphere with some nice basic dishes, coffee, tea and light alcoholic drinks. You know that when you enter such a place you ought to care more about whether the writings of Voltaire are still relevant today than the size of salad. However, asking somewhere north of â¬8 for not a large breakfast, not including a hot drink with it and serving a mean 0.1L orange juice, does force one's mind off Voltaire and life's vicissitudes and onto more earthly questions, such as - will I ever set foot in here again...? Food for Thought...

We decided to stop at a nice restaurant instead of eating in food courts on the high way and it was such a good decision. The restaurant is easy to access from highway and it offers a great service food and atmosphere. There were 11 of us, kids, vegetarians and meat lovers and everybody was thrilled about the food, adults could enjoy excellent selection of beers. Highly recommended, we will be back!Thank so much Agata!We are looking forward to your next visit!

Ate here at lunch and dinner during the Bayreuth Festival. It was busy but not full. Restaurant is a traditional wooden beamed establishment on the high street, 3 mins walk from the Goldener Anker hotel. It was stifling hot inside (lunchtime) and not a fan in sight. Eveningtime was still warm inside. Reception was haphazard but friendly. English is spoken by a few waiters.Best dishes:wiener schnitzel(made with pork not veal), roast pork shoulder with crackling and spare ribs. Everything in large portions by UK/Austrian standards. Reasonable prices for such large portions. Most of the patrons (German) were sitting outside in the evening. Good restaurants are in short supply in the town of Bayreuth, so Oskar's is a helpful standby. Quick word on the town:it is all about Wagner. If not for its connection to Wagner (he lived and composed here). No nice restaurants, no posh shops, no deli...Bayreuth is definitely a very small town, and by the looks of it, has seen better days. The Festival is keeping it going, and the Margrival opera house is beautiful and unique.
