Main Courses

From savory meats to flavorful sausages and comforting stews, German cuisine is rich in flavors that reflect the country’s culinary heritage. Try the traditional Schweinshaxe, a roasted pork knuckle boasting crispy skin and tender meat, paired perfectly with tangy sauerkraut and creamy mashed potatoes. Indulge in the heartiness of Rouladen, thinly sliced beef wrapped around a savory filling of onions, mustard, pickles, and bacon, simmered to perfection in a rich gravy. Whether you’re craving classic comfort or seeking bold flavors, German main courses promise to satisfy your palate and transport you to the cozy taverns and beer gardens of Deutschland.”
