Foodie Tips

Get the most from your culinary adventures.

💡

Lunch (Mittagessen) is traditionally the main hot meal in Germany - look for Mittagstisch set menus for €8-12 at local restaurants from 12-2PM

💡

German bread (Brot) is extraordinary - visit a traditional Bäckerei each morning for fresh-baked rye, sourdough, and whole grain varieties

💡

Wurst is a serious craft in Germany - regional differences between Nuremberg Rostbratwurst, Berlin Currywurst, Munich Weißwurst, and Frankfurt Grüne Soße

💡

Tap water (Leitungswasser) is not served automatically in restaurants - request it specifically or you'll get paid sparkling water

💡

German dinner (Abendessen) traditionally means cold cuts, bread and cheese (Abendbrot) rather than hot food - only in restaurants do you get hot evening meals

💡

Bavarian beer gardens (Biergarten) traditionally allow you to bring your own food - only drinks must be purchased from the garden

💡

Sunday brunch culture is huge in German cities - buffet brunches at cafés and hotels from 10AM-3PM are a social institution
