STRICTLY GERMAN / BAVARIAN CUISINE

Schweinebraten (roast pork)

A classic Bavarian dish, schweinebraten can be made with a variety of pork cuts, like shoulder or even loin. It’s traditionally roasted with dark beer and onions.


Schweinshaxe (roasted ham hock)

A beloved beer hall classic, roasted ham hock or shank (pig knuckles) are crispy on the outside with tender meat.


Traditional German Sausages

o Bratwurst (Grilled Sausage)

o Knockwurst (Boiled Sausage)

o Weisswurst (Bacon Sausage)

o Currywurst (Sausage with Curry Sauce)


Reiberdatschi (potato pancakes)

These potato pancakes are served with a salad or sweet apple sauce.


Brezen (pretzels)

Large and soft, they’re the perfect accompaniment to beer.

Käsespätzle (cheese noodles)

This is a savory, cheesy version of spätzle, a traditional egg noodle.


Sauerkraut

Cabbage with sweet apples and aromatic caraway.


Würstl (sausages)

Würstl refers to a variety of classic Bavarian sausages, sautéed in a skillet with bacon and apple sauerkraut. Serve with plenty of mustard.


Steckerlfisch (grilled fish on a stick)

Simple and fairly self-explanatory, steckerlfisch is marinated, skewered and grilled fish.


Roast Chicken

Chickens are spit-roasted until the skin is golden brown and crispy. Rubbing a lemon-and-thyme butter over the chicken before roasting ensures superbly crispy skin.


Knödel (potato or flour dumplings)

These are large, dense, ultra-comforting dumplings.


Obatzda (spiced cheese-butter spread)

Aged soft cheese, like Camembert, mixed with butter, a small amount of beer and spices including paprika, salt, pepper and garlic. Or with crème fraîche and Dijon mustard along with farmer’s cheese and, of course, butter.
