Essigbrätlein

Since 1989, two-star Master Chef Andree Köthe's Essigbrätlein has resided behind the heavy oak doors, bull's-eye windows and sandstone façade of this quaint building in Nuremberg's Old Town. As a pioneer of vegetable and spice cuisine, Köthe is also able to give meat and fish the flavor for which he is so famous. He offers innovative cuisine with novel interpretations.

Dining

Without a shadow of doubt, Nuremberg’s most famous food export is the Nürnberger Rostbratwurst. No bigger than your finger, you can order 6, 8, 10 or 12 of these sausages, which are in most cases served with sauerkraut or potato salad. If you’re feeling a bit peckish in between meals, why not try a “3 im Weggla” (3 sausages in a roll), which is generally garnished with mustard. Or if you’re in the mood for a hearty meal, how about sampling the delights on Franconian menus, which traditionally include “Schäuferle mit Kloss und Soss” (roasted pork shoulder with dumplings and gravy) or Sauerbraten (marinated beef). You can’t come to Nuremberg and not try the local delicacies!
