Restaurants in Nuremberg

Once you have roamed around the majestic streets of Nuremberg filled with historic sites, you can now devour the exotic culinary experience at its restaurants. Nuremberg caters to vegan and vegetarians as well. Below are some of the best restaurants that you can find in Nuremberg.

Bratwurst restaurants

Nuremberg sausages are world famous. And why wouldn’t they be? There are quality checks in place in the entire city to make sure that sausages are up to the mark. Did you know that there is a Nuremberg Sausage Protection Association? Talk about giving it your all! Each sausage weighs around an ounce or 25 grams and is no longer than 3 to 4 inches.

According to one legend, the size of the sausage was kept small so it could be passed through the keyhole to be sold to the people on the other side. Whatever the story behind its size, it packs a great flavour even with its small size that you can have 6 or 8 at a time. You can sense the fresh pork perfectly seasoned with herbs and spices like marjoram and lemon powder. With more than 3 million Nuremberg Bratwurst produced each day, they are the most popular choice in Germany or should I say the world?

Zum Gulden Stern

The restaurant name translates to “The Golden Star”. It champions as the oldest restaurant in Nuremberg that serves sausages. Built in 1380, it still manages to give off those traditional cosy vibes. The low ceilings, exotic fire, food cooking on the flames, all of this adds to the thematic experience of an old dine in.

The first thing you should order off their menu is the sausage. Being the oldest restaurant in town, you can bet that the sausages will uphold their quality standards. Here they are served on a pewter plate instead of buns. Combine the amazing ambiance with the food that speaks for itself. And there you have “the historic bratwurst kitchen”.
