Essigbrätlein - Nürnberg fine Dining

Are you looking for an exceptional evening out with outstanding food and great presentation in Nürnberg? You are on the right track, when you head out to the Essigbrätlein.

3 men are the Team of this Restaurant. Andre Köthe founded it, Yves Ollech is the Head Chef and Ivan Jakir as Maitre Sommelier will present you with the corresponding wines. They are famous for their vegetable Cuisine with local and more unknown produce.

You have to make a Reservation and you have to ring a bell to get into the Restaurant. They are taking your coat and bringing it away, very formal. But then you are welcomed by a very friendly Team.

We sat down at a very reduced styled table. Each place had the menu on the side. And a list of the wines this evening.


As an Amuse Bouche we had a small bowl of juice from grilled peppers with elderflower oil. It smell awesome. Then came winter spinach with rhubarb and ground juniper berries.

Between other Course came more of these tasty morsels.
We had some lettuce with sesame dressing.
Daikon and cranberries - my favourite !
Steamed sourdough bread with butter and fermented radishes.


The first Course was White Vegetables: several times frozen cauliflower and Kohlrabi with Poppy seed Sauce.
Since each Course came with a different kind of wine, the pairing was outstanding. Then after a couple of Courses we were  a lot funnier.

For the next Course came Char with beetroot, drenched in whey and grapefruit.


Next was Kale with Asparagus.

Then came Fermented beans.

Lamb and Broccoli.

We finished with Espresso and chocolate shards.

Visiting the washroom showed a huge picture of Grace Jones on the bathroom door -very unique!

We had an amazing evening with tasty food and are looking forward to coming again.
