Bratwursthäusle

Not far from the Sebalduskirche, the Bratwursthäusle has been giving original Nürnberger Rostbratwürste a hint of beechwood by cooking them over a wood fire since 1313. True to tradition, the Bratwursthäusle has its own butcher shop, where the Nuremberg specialities are freshly prepared each day. Hungry visitors can enjoy their sausages and a freshly pulled pint on the two terraces, which boast historical surroundings and views of the Sebalduskirche, the Rathaus and the Hauptmarkt. The little delicacies, which are always grilled to order, are served on a tin plate, just like in Albrecht Dürer’s time.

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!
