Next I ordered one of their house beers and it was much better. For dinner, my wife and I had one of their schnitzels and it was just ok. Our waitress was really rushing us and she spilled a half glass our beer on one of our coats. The only thing good about this evening was the atmosphere. We loved the cellar.

We ran from a rainstorm into the arms of the Brauberger. We were led into the cellar and given two…read morebig beers to warm up with. We ordered a traditional German dish with potatoes with cheese egg and bacon, and a turkey schnitzel with croquettes. Both are heavy meals and we might have been ok with one, but ended up eating most of both. We were on a biking tour and apparently needed the calories!! Haha. The service was excellent and beer good and simple, they only had one choice! But it can be mixed with a variety of juices or sodas for other options. The place was packed with plenty of Germans, so that has to be a good sign as well.

Great Backfisch! Awesome crunch and great service…read more The only reason we did not give 5 stars is because we found the piece was very small for 13€ and we think the seelachs sea salmon is not the best fit for backed fish. We'd rather have the cod. Next time I'd only order the Backfisch for 4.50€ the piece. It's a better value than the whole dish. We end up paying 45€ for a bottle of water and two Backfisch dishes which was great, but slightly overpriced. Would be come again, absolutely! We'd just order single small pieces of the Backfisch. The Remouladensaucen was also great! Definitely worth a visit.
