Always interested in exploring new restaurants with “classical” (Southern) German dishes (though it would be nice to have any restaurants which serve a much broader variety of German dishes from other parts of Germany. Those are nearly impossible to find anywhere in the US and are very different to the meat heavy dishes one normally finds)
One of the “old-timers” in the Bay Area is Suppenkueche https://www.suppenkuche.com/ which just celebrated its 31st anniversary. Nice, relaxed ambience with good dishes - we will be back
Good spot. In the past, I’ve tried the “Das Boot,” but failed. I wish they offered schweinshaxe.
Also miss Walzwerk in the Mission. Relatedly, Leopold’s (Austrian) was always fun, but I haven’t been in a while. I also wish Augustiner beer were easier to find, for whatever reason it’s less common than others.
Ah, good intel. I’m not around there consistently enough, but I hope to try theirs sometime. My last stop through Frankfurt left me wanting because the skin of the schweinshaxe I had there was too crispy.
Of course there was beer involved - you lose your German citizenship if you eat those dishes without ordering - Hacker-Pschorr Dunkel and Weihenstephan Dunkel
Sometimes Gourmet Haus Staudt in RWC has some Augustiner in their bottle shop but I would give them a call before driving there. In the moment they have bottles of Augustiner Maximator
