The suggested format is that this is a discussion thread about the places along the route, links allowed in moderation, any food mentioned is vegan. Sort of like a treasure hunt for information, yet no teams, people sharing what they find.

If we can find overnight accommodation after our meal, we could visit the Residenz where the ceiling by Tiepolo is the largest fresco in the world. second.wiki/wiki/deckenfresko_im_treppenhaus_der_wc3bcrzburger_residenz

There is bbq jackfruit (I think) with tomatoes and erm.. stuff. smile
Or, the lasagne sounds nice, too.

Lots of dips and extras as well.

What a treat!!

I guessed correctly the meaning of Suppe des Tages as Soup of the day.

I found that mit einer Scheibe Brot means with a slice of bread

Perhaps we,ll have time to walk to the Würzburger Dom before it gets dark and admire the Romanesque building
construction ?

Hiraeth Sat 30-Jul-22 20:43:49

Ooh the menu looks lovelyI think I’ll order the „ viel versprechend „ very promising „translated . And I’ll order a Frankenheim beer

StarDreamer Sat 30-Jul-22 20:42:47

There are some people who know German in our group, so hopefully they can advise us of what is available please.

MissAdventure Sat 30-Jul-22 20:40:40

Oh, that food looks absolutely delicious!
I can't read the ingredients properly, but I can sort of guess what most ok, some of them are.

StarDreamer Sat 30-Jul-22 20:32:04

Wouldn't it be nice to be able to be delivered door to door in real life.

StarDreamer Sat 30-Jul-22 20:22:35

Yes, the driver of Der weiße Pelikan will deliver us to the door.

eGJ Sat 30-Jul-22 18:55:00

StarDreamer Fri 29-Jul-22 22:26:36

So, let's all get onto Der weiße Pelikan for an overland trip back to Würzburg.

MawtheMerrier There are a few vegan Franken wines www.alko.fi/en/products/white-wine/vegan/franconia/germany?SkipToId=product-tile-927063&SkipNextSeed=true the atmosphere in Hinterhoefle is splendid and you can just drink the wine? I’ll join you all on the trip from Volkach to drink more Franken wine!

Hiraeth Fri 29-Jul-22 18:54:00

Sorry, I’ve been searching on the web but can’t find any vegan restaurants in Volkach if we travel on the coach to Würzburg 25 Kilometers there’s more choice . We could go to the Krautheimer beer garden and have a lovely Franken beer ?

MawtheMerrier Fri 29-Jul-22 17:54:18

@eGJ - you’re the expert on Frankenwein . Is it is fact vegan?
I have recently read the following
The reason that all wines are not vegan or even vegetarian-friendly has to do with how the wine is clarified and a process called ‘fining’. All young wines are hazy and contain tiny molecules such as proteins, tartrates, tannins and phenolics. These are all natural, and in no way harmful. However, we wine-drinkers like our wines to be clear and bright.
Most wines, if left long enough, will self-stabilize and self-fine. However, traditionally producers have used a variety of aids called ‘fining agents’ to help the process along. Fining agents help precipitate out these haze-inducing molecules. Essentially, the fining agent acts like a magnet – attracting the molecules around it. They coagulate around the fining agent, creating fewer but larger particles, which can then be more easily removed

2 vegane Gerichte im Hinterhöfle Volkach

Hmm.könnte schmecken aber nur zwei vegane Gerichte? - das ist ja kein veganes Restaurant.
Ich hätte lieber eine größere Auswahl.

StarDreamer Fri 29-Jul-22 14:04:35

Thank you.

We could stop at

Vegan menu and ambience under the wine leaves and it looks as though they would be able to accommodate all of us

I have tried to find the vegan menu without success.

Can you advise me please?

I looked at that website and at the right it has

Tisch reservieren

and I realised that Tisch means table as I learned that from that song about Franz being unter Tisch. grin

I'm not vegan, but I never eat sausages and haven't for years, unless they're meat free. smile
I think they're a great 'invention'.

eGJ Fri 29-Jul-22 12:34:13

You’re right Maw, but there should be an alternative!
