I would go here in Cologne.

in Nuremberg, I think you’ll also find protein outside at stalls, they sell their Drei Im Weggla at the Xmas Market and near the train station.
I would probably seek out a restaurant focused on Franconian food in Nuremberg.
Here is one with good reviews.

I always like having a meal at the Ratskeller in various German cities when I visit and don’t know where to eat. The food is always pretty good traditional food in my experience. Many German cities run a Ratskeller restaurant in the lower level of their City Hall or Town Hall. I can’t seem to find one for Cologne or Nuremberg. I have had good meals at the Ratskeller in Munich, Leipzig and in some small towns

I enjoyed a meal at this place in Strasbourg
France is on a separate regional board. There may be more recs for Strasbourg and Colmar over there.
I would recommend you start a separate Xmas Market thread for Colmar and Strasbourg on the France Board. Perhaps, also start a thread about dining in Basel.
