My wife and I had the pleasure of having dinner with a German Professor of Coburg University at this lovely and historic restaurant known as Restaurant Goldenes Kreuz (meaning, Golden Cross). We learned that this is one of the best in Germany. Established in 1508, the restaurant is the oldest building in downtown of Coburg. It serves the authentic taste of regional Franconian cuisine. “Traditional. Modern. Franconian” is its motto. The dishes we had was one of the best Franconian cuisines we ever tasted. The dessert “Home-made Coburg dumpling” was delicious and one-of-a-kind. If you ever get a chance to dine there, you will for certain enjoy its historic atmosphere of Franconian tradition. Oh, please don’t forget to try its home-made beer Kreuzrunk, which is very fresh and a pleasure to taste. If you have never visited Coburg. It is a very lovely , peaceful small town with a population of approx., 40,000. It is located on the Itz river in the Upper Franconia region of Bavaria, Germany. Since the town literally survived from bombings during World War II, it has many of the same historic buildings, such as the Veste Coburg, one of Germany's largest castles.
