Restaurant Review:
Zum Schusterjungen (⭐4/5)
German cuisine often gets a bad rap among the expat community, but that doesn’t always have to be the case. Every now and then, I enjoy visiting German restaurants to try something traditional, usually accompanied by a pint of beer. This particular restaurant offers homestyle German classics like pork knuckle and schnitzel (originally an Austrian dish), all served in a charming, old-fashioned setting. However, if you’re vegan or vegetarian, this might not be the best place for you.
