On a trip from Berlin to Prague we decided to stop and look for lunch in a picturesque German river town called Regensburg. We walked down the old narrow streets looking for something to eat, and by chance we found a small riverside building that had quite a lively crowds.
This kitchen specialized in bratwursts, and I am not lying when I say these were rhetorical best brats I've ever had. Throughout our entire trip through Germany, Austria, and the Czech Republic, this was not only the best bratwurst, but it was the best meal. Nothing fancy, small grilled brats laid upon small but firm roll, and topped with the most flavorful deli mustard.
We ordered several of these brats, and they were very affordable. The service was great, and the brats came out very quickly.
You can peak inside the kitchen and see the grill masters hard at work. Then you get a tray designed to perfectly hold the brats as you take them to an outdoor table where you have a gorgeous view of the Old Stone Bridge that crosses the Danube.
We later found out that this kitchen is historic. It is the oldest continuously open restaurant in the world.
Some tips:
Order a few per person. They are hearty, but relatively small. You won't mind filling up on them. Also, you can order the mustard online. I recently purchased some to have on hand.
Cheers!!
