Bavarian Brunch with Live Music at Café Berlin

Bavarian Brunch with live music on Capitol Hill — Sunday 18 October, $40 per person, two blocks from Union Station.

Brunch the way it is eaten in Bavaria, not the way it is eaten in Washington. Choose a starter or a dessert, choose a main, and it comes with coffee or juice and a 0.3L Bier.

To begin: a Bavarian Bretzel with a trio of mustards or Obatzter (the bier cheese spread — Camembert, butter, caraway, paprika); Sauerkraut Bälle, breaded and fried with whole-grain mustard aioli; Kartoffel Pfannkuchen (potato pancakes) with house-made apple sauce and sour cream; or Kartoffelsuppe.

Then Groestl, the Bavarian breakfast — roasted potatoes, dumplings, bacon and grilled chicken under a fried egg; or Frühstücksspätzle, our house-made egg noodles with spinach, onions and tomato under a fried egg; or the Deutsche Frühstück of German cold cuts, Frischkäse, jam, honey and a six-minute egg; or a Nürnberger Platte of Nuremberg sausages with creamed apple-sauerkraut. Finish with warm Schokoladenkuchen or Ofenschlupfer — bread pudding made from our own soft pretzels.

Mimosas, Radler, Cola Weizen and the German Breakfast (Jägermeister and orange juice) are on the brunch list.

Live music through brunch service, in the Biergarten.

$40 per person, plus tax and service. Sunday 18 October from 11 AM, in the covered Biergarten or the dining room. Reservations recommended — the Biergarten fills first.
