Paulaner Bräuhaus is one of the most famous breweries in Munich, the beer capital, with a history dating back to 1634. Parana Restaurant in Shekou is the first Paulaner Bräuhaus in Shenzhen and the only licensed Paulaner brewery in Shenzhen.
Since entering the Chinese market in 1992, Parana has been highly acclaimed, and many German food lovers have called it "the most authentic German restaurant in China", and many branches of restaurants across the country have won numerous awards over the years, such as "Best German Restaurant" by "The Beijinger" and "Best Western Restaurant" by Airtime.
Compared with the delicate and compact French food, the German diet is rough and bold, especially meat products, among which German sausage and roast pork knuckle are typical dishes. The Parana Bavarian sausage platter includes cheese sausages, Nuremberg sausages, pork sausages, Vienna sausages, Munich white sausages, pan-fried snails and other classic sausages, accompanied by sauerkraut and mashed potatoes. The texture and flavour of each type of sausage is different, with the Nuremberg sausage being relatively coarse and grainy in the mouth, the Vienna sausage being full-bodied and resilient on the palate, with a slight toasted taste, the most representative of which is the Munich White sausage. The Munich white sausage (Münchner Weißwurst) is a representative Bavarian delicacy, made from minced veal and marinated pork, and unlike other sausages, the white sausage is usually boiled in water and the outer casing needs to be removed to avoid affecting the taste of the sausage. It is worth mentioning that the sausages are stripped before they are served, so diners can enjoy them without the need for hands-on procedures.
Parana's roasted pork knuckle is made in the most classic Bavarian way, first lightly marinated, then grilled over medium heat, and then grilled over high heat until the skin of the pork knuckle is golden brown and crispy.
Parana is a brand of Paulaner, a well-known brewer, and beer is naturally one of the restaurant's signatures. The beers are all brewed in-house, and the in-house copper brewing equipment imported by the old Caspary company is a highlight, and like the Munich brewery, the restaurant beers are brewed according to the most traditional Bavarian "Beer Brewing Law" of 1516 to ensure freshness and authentic Bavarian flavors. Helles, Weissbier, and Dunkles have different flavors, so if you can't choose them, you can also order a set of beer trios and taste them one after the other, which is suitable for customers who are new to the taste.
The restaurant is located in the C area of Sea World, behind the Ming Wah cruises, the exterior is an outdoor beer garden composed of oak tables and chairs and wooden verandahs surrounded by green leaves, most diners choose to dine in the outdoor beer garden, you can enjoy the sunset in the evening, and there will be foreign bands performing after 7 o'clock, the atmosphere is very hot and enthusiastic. The service quality of the restaurant is relatively average, the service staff is a little lazy, and the service is not timely enough, because most of the meals need to be baked on site, and the serving speed will be relatively slow.
