Goldenes Kreuz
About
Golden Cross is a historic Franconian tavern that has welcomed guests since 1508. Nestled in the heart of Coburg’s medieval market square, the restaurant offers authentic regional cuisine, including the beloved Coburg dumplings, grilled sausages, and hearty bread plates. Freshly sourced ingredients from local producers, paired with the house‑made beer Kreuztrunk, create a genuine taste of Franconian hospitality. Guests enjoy a warm, rustic atmosphere in the main dining room, a sunny courtyard, a cozy beer garden, or a terrace with views of the city. Warm, friendly service welcomes both locals and tourists, while the venue’s birthplace status makes it a must‑visit spot for foodies, history enthusiasts, families, and cultural travelers. The restaurant operates Monday through Saturday with two daily shifts: 11:30 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. – 11:00 p.m. (the kitchen closes at 10:30 p.m.). It remains closed on Sundays, except for private events with prior arrangements.
