Besides learning about history and enjoying the Christmas Market, Nuremberg has more to offer. Unfortunately, time was short and we couldn’t visit all the places I wanted, but I left with the feeling I have to go back there.
Nuremberg is also famous for its Rostbratwurst. It looks and tastes different from the others all over Germany. The Rostbratwurst in Nuremberg is thinner and smaller than the ordinary ones, and when you buy them at the Christmas Market, you get 3 of them in one roll. Although there were different possibilities of eating something at the market, we decided to go to a restaurant called Bratwurst Röslein in order to be protected from the wind and rain and have a place to sit. The atmosphere was so good, we came back the following day. The food and the beer also tasted good. We had the typical Nuremberger sausages and other Bavarian dishes and, of course, a refreshing and delicious Radler (beer mixed with Sprite). They served a regional Radler from brewery Tucher, which can also be visited by tourists. The sausages were served on a metal plate, which made me feel in the middle ages, just like in a theme restaurant!
In Bavaria people usually share tables with others they don’t know. It works like this: you enter the restaurant and if they don’t have any empty tables, they lead you to one where some people are already sitting. I like it because it creates an informal atmosphere. The last time we were at Bratwurst Röslein, we ended up sharing a table with an Asian group. I helped them with the menu and we had some fun with the way they reacted to the food. If you’re in Nuremberg, give the sausages a try!
