Lunch at Georgebrau, a small biergarten on the banks of the Spree just south of the Unter den Linden bridge.
For starters we had White Asparagus cream soup. I don’t know what they did to it but it tasted more like The Milk of Paradise than a vegetable based soup. The bier was George’s own brew and pretty phenomenal.
Rick Steves knows where to point you.
The daily special at Georgebrau was Eisbein:
The “special” looked pretty good to me but AA opted for the brined salmon, (more) asparagus and homemade breads...
I took another look at the Eisbein and it made more sense, especially when it comes with bier and schnapps:
So i ordered it...
Best tasting pork knuckle I’ve ever had 😉
Seriously though, this pork was close to bacon for unbelievable goodness (a Bruce OMG insert here). The sauerkraut was impeccable, the peas were spiced and pureed to a paste that had a decidedly German flair, and the potatoes were... well they were potatoes.
May not look especially great but it was.
