What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Imperial by Alexander Herrmann & Michi Seitz is celebrated for its fine dining experience, with guests frequently praising the inventive flavor combinations, exquisite presentation, and the chic, relaxed atmosphere. The service is often noted as friendly and professional, with some highlighting specific staff members. However, a few reviews mention that while the food is good, it sometimes lacks a definitive 'wow' factor, and some dining experiences, like the bubble brunch, have been considered overpriced or not meeting expectations for individual choice.
"Lovely place for a fine-dining experience! Food was great, service was lovely (although not all staff were able to introduce the dishes in English, but we had no problem figuring everything out together) and the atmosphere was cool!
One thing we missed was a proper welcome: when we arrived (Saturday, 7pm) there was no one at the door to greet us. Minor point, but if you want to step up the hosting experience, that'd be a way to do it :)"

"Perfect from start to finish. Every dish was full of flavour, cooked amazingly and well presented. Even the bread was delicious. The wine was also perfectly paired. Our main server Elke was fantastic, explaining every dish and wine in detail and was super attentive and friendly throughout. The atmosphere of the restaurant was relaxed, minimal and chic which added to the overall experience. Definitely recommend."
Tom Royle
"Imperial stands out as an oasis in the culinary desert that is Nuremberg. After a week of avoiding pretzels, schnitzel, bland Indian food, something called tapas, and Italian out of the box food, Imperial was
a cascade of fresh and invigorating sensory delight.
I selected the five course meal which paired perfectly with a Riesling, Ruinart champagne, and an Austrian blend.
I will be back, just not soon enough."

Where to Eat and Drink in Nürnberg, Germany (The Top Spots!)
If you’re in the mood to dress up and treat yourself, Imperial is where you go. This Michelin-starred spot takes Franconian flavors and gives them a super modern and creative spin. The plating is gorgeous, but it’s not stuffy which I am a huge fan of.
