The many varieties of bratwurst, ham and sausage, a wide range of pastries and baked goods, as well as fish, fruit and cheese specialties are unmissable - and all in outstanding quality. In addition to the finely spiced Hof beef sausage, which has even made it into the European register of typical regional specialties, the Hofer Schnitz, the Hofer Allerlei, Leberkäs', the Schwaas, Aus' zogene and many other Hof delicacies are well known.

You can find out what these are on a culinary walk through the town with an ambassador of the Upper Franconia gourmet region. Both savory and sweet delicacies can be sampled.
