Bratwurstherzl am Viktualienmarkt (Dreifaltigkeitsplatz 1, 80331 Munich)

****

Just around the corner of Munich´s Farmer´s Market (Viktualienmarkt), there´s a true home for sausage lovers, well frequented by tourists and locals alike. If you´d ask me why, I´d say, it´s mostly, because they are serving you a special flavor with their sausages here.
The Bratwurstherzl is roasting the Wuerstel on an open beechwood fire in a historic cellar with a lot of historic flair to it.

The Bratwurstherzl´s cook at work

Rich beechwood fumes do add that perfect extra note in harmony with the strong majoran flavors of the classic short and thick Nuernberger pork sausages, which we strongly advise you to order from the menu: Try those eight Rostbratwürste mit Weinsauerkraut (7,85 Euro). When you order, you´ll have a choice of potato salad (Kartoffelsalat) or Sauerkraut as a side dish.
Don´t go for that salad here. It hasn´t convinced us. The Kraut however did surprise  with its pleasant sour taste (no gravy sauce added here, though).

Let´s admit it, those heart shaped tin plates underneath your food servings here do look tacky and a bit out of place today, but who cares in this otherwise pleasant place. And after all this restaurant calls itself the Heart of the Bratwurst.

To sum it up: Visit the Bratwurstherzl, because of that open fire roast and their Nuernberger sausages with that special beechwood aroma. Have a dark beer with it and you find perfect harmony. After that, please do come back to „The Wurst“ for more news on sausage eating in Munich.
