Gasthof Zum Ochsen
A no-frills, family-run Franconian inn tucked just away from Rothenburg's tourist bustle, where the draw is resolutely the food, generous portions of freshly made schnitzel, Maultaschen, bratwurst and potato salad at refreshingly low prices, though service ranges from warmly attentive to decidedly brusque, and the basic, recently tidied rooms are best treated as a practical base rather than a destination in themselves.
