Gasthaus Alte Mainmühle on Postcard

"Alte Mainmühle German for “Old Millwheel,” Alte Mainmühle is located at the foot of Würzburg’s oldest bridge, offering sweeping vistas over the Main River to the Marienberg Fortress and surrounding vineyards. In addition to this picturesque setting, the restaurant offers traditional charm in spades, from timber-heavy dining rooms to a fireplace and double balcony with views of the bridge and fortress. On the menu, you’ll find a great selection of local beers and Franconian wines, plus a variety of seasonal cuisine, often prepared with a modern twist. Expect everything from potato-crusted zander and boiled veal in horseradish sauce to vegetarian options like potato-and-sauerkraut dumplings served with melted onions."

This is a wine bar and restaurant at the east (Old Town) end of Alte Mainbrucke. In addition to taking meal here there is a take-away order window where you can buy glasses of wine as well as holiday glühwein during the Christmas season to enjoy outside while spending time at the old bridge. Opening hours are 11am to 11pm daily. We stopped here a couple times during our recent visit to Würzburg and enjoyed glühwein (€5 + €5 deposit for the glass). Servings came in an Alte Mainmuhle signature glass which is nice and importantly it tasted very good, nice to have while taking in the views along the river and just enjoying the festive and friendly atmosphere of this location in the Old Town.

We didn't eat in the restaurant, so I can't rate the food, but we took wine and walked along the bridge. Good idea with the deposit for the glasses, you can return it to the restaurant and get the 5€ deposit, or keep it for yourself) I liked the wine, the bartender was friendly.

I ordered one dish from chef recommended list, the salad is really good with perfect source and well-cooked black tail shrimp and beef. The bread they provided is also soft insides and crispy outsides. Not traditional german food, but really fit for asian taste.

We arrived early for lunch on a busy & sunny Saturday. Our friendly waiter seated us inside with a perfect window view of the fortress and bridge. The plates are artfully served with delicious and generous portions. Great wine menu & of course, excellent bier! We enjoyed the beef consommé, beef tartare + shared a plate of outstanding deer gulasch with dumplings that had a hint of caraway. This is the place to be on a weekend as the town fills the bridge for glasses of wine from the drinks window! 5€ glass deposit, refunded on return. Such a laidback wine city, loved the vibe.

Nice atmosphere, by the river. Traditional frankonian dishes, with a modern twist. Food is ok, but not outstanding (one could say, overpriced). Good place for wine! Having a glass of wine on the bridge in the afternoon, is a must!

We waited almost an hour for our food (probably because there was like three waiters for a completely full, two story restaurant), which ended up being super underwhelming. The Schnitzel was literally just one Schnitzel with a tiny bowl of potato salad, leaves you still feeling hungry. The best part is the interior, looks very nice. Overall seems like a tourist trap, there's loads of cheaper and better restaurants with a similar franconian feel.
