Probably the best sauerkraut I had while in Germany. Everything I ate was good. Service was so-so.read more

We searched on Yelp to see where we could have our late lunch in Ulm since it was our first time…read morehere, and we decided on this place as our #1 choice. We were not disappointed, and we really enjoyed our dining experience at this "Pretzel Tavern" overall. It was such a nice day (I have to mention here we were so ready to be in a warm sunny environment after a seemingly long and dark winter here in Germany), so we opted to sit at an open table in the open-air street dining area (photo). I tell you it was so good to be able to sit in the sun to enjoy our relaxing time and food. My brezel (namesake for this establishment) was very good. It came out of the kitchen very warm and it had pretty good amount of coarse salt crystals. Of course, it had just the right texture of chewiness. Schwäbische bratwürst (a.k.a. naked bratwurst) was a little on a bland side (as is often the case with this type [weißwürsts] of bratwürsts tend to be for the lack of spices and herbs), but the gravy it came with was excellent and saved the whole dish. Also, I would've preferred to had my Nürnberger bratwürst grilled a little longer, but they tasted very good nonetheless. Serving was very generous for the money (you'll be the judge from my photos). All the side dishes: bacon-fried potatoes, sauerkraut with bacon pieces (unique) and traditional potato salad were excellent. Of course, when you mix anything with bacon, you know, it has to be good. Service was prompt. I felt our server was a little abrupt, but she was very efficient. I thought considering Ulm being a part of Schwäbische culinary territory, they did Bavarian sausages pretty well. Their menu items are very extensive. Of course, some folks were simply enjoying bier und brezel in the afternoon. If you are in Ulm, you want to try this place if you like Bavarian or Schwäbische cuisine...only about five minutes walk from the Ulmer Münster. You can pay with credit card if you prefer...inside at the hotel front desk, otherwise you pay cash at your table as usual.
