The first place I want to highlight on my blog is the wonderful, little German Restaurant on Ramstein Air Base, Ramsteiner Hausbrau, for all my military friends. They have a wide selection of different Bavarian dishes, these are only the few that I’ve had so far.
But before I get into the food, I like to do a little research and find out more about the place itself. Ramsteiner identifies as a women owned business, they are LGBTQIA+ friendly, have a wheelchair accessible entrance, are great for kids and larger groups, and they also offer free WI-FI.
As a side note, all I ate was meat, however if your a vegetarian, don’t worry they have vegan options as well!
Curry wurst is a bratwurst cooked and covered in Curry, and let me tell you it is delicious! I’m not normally a curry fan, as it can be quite spicy, this however is not overly spicy. It has a kick, but it’s rather muted and the mashed potatoes are super soft and buttery, and the curry mixed with the mashed potatoes is *chefs kiss* Big, big fan of this, and 10/10 recommend trying it.
Knodel or Kloße are large, round poached or boiled potato or bread dumplings, made without yeast. These were potato dumplings, covered in a turkey and bacon sauce. They were in my opinion pretty good with the sauce, without they tasted rather plain. My personal score, 6/10.
So the first time I had heard of Weinerschnitzel, I had a friend describe it as like a giant chicken nugget and honestly I kinda agree, lol! It’s like a giant chicken nugget but only better! So Weinerschnitzel is made of veal, covered in breadcrumbs and served with lemon juice, hence the lemon wedge. It can have a mushroom sauce as well, but I’m not as big a fan of that option. My personal score- 9/10
The bratwurst had a nice juicy snap when you bit into it, the mashed potatoes were buttery and melted in your mouth, and when you ate it all together it was like heaven in your mouth! Now I do wanna add that, while this is good, I personally prefer when my mom makes bratwurst and sauerkraut, but this is still good. My final score- 9/10
Weisswurst is a traditional Bavarian sausage made of minced veal, and pork back bacon. It is seasoned with lemon, parsley, onions, mace, ginger and cardamom. This was gross honestly, it had a super weird texture and was cold. And was floating in water with chives thrown in it and tasted rather odd but plain, very weird combination. I personally do not recommend getting this. Oh and the pretzel was fairly good, had a very hard crust but soft on the inside.
If your looking to try out Ramstiener Hausbrau, they are located in the KMCC Exchange on Ramstein Air Base, they do reservations if you’d like to call ahead! Or if you don’t like dining out they have take-out as well, and are open Mon.-Sun. From 10AM-10PM, make sure to check their hours around holidays, since they may change.
Well that’s all for now, I’ll talk to y’all soon! -Alyssa
