Restaurant Zum Alten Markt sits in the heart of Regensburg's UNESCO-listed Altstadt, serving regional Bavarian and Franconian dishes alongside the local Kneitinger beer, a dark lager brewed in Regensburg and not widely found in Munich. The menu covers reliable regional staples, with the Tafelspitz, boiled beef, particularly well regarded, alongside other traditional roasts and sides. This is a good option for visitors to Regensburg wanting authentic regional food beyond the city's famous Wurstkuchl sausage stand, offering a fuller sit-down meal in a historic setting. The dining room has a traditional character in keeping with its Domplatz location, near the cathedral, with a calm, welcoming atmosphere suited to both lunch and dinner. No dress code applies. The beer list centres on Kneitinger, worth trying specifically because it is a Regensburg specialty rather than a beer available across Bavaria. Reservations are recommended for dinner, particularly given the restaurant's central old-town position near major sights.
