If you want to eat authentic German food in China, Paulaner Bräuhaus is undoubtedly the first choice. This long-established German restaurant originated in 1634 and is part of the Paulaner Group, one of the most famous breweries in Munich, the beer capital. Paulaner has been acclaimed since its opening in Beijing in 1992 and has been located in Kempinski hotels in many cities, including Chongqing.
Compared with the delicate and small Italian food of French food, German food belongs to the rough and bold school, which is represented by roast pork knuckle, sausages and beer, and it is appropriate to describe German food by drinking wine and eating meat. Prana's pork knuckle is made in the classic Bavarian way, lightly marinated over medium heat and then grilled over high heat until the skin is crispy. The pork knuckle is golden in color and crispy in the mouth, but it is easy to get greasy, so it is best enjoyed with German sauerkraut. There is a wide variety of sausages, including a platter of pork sausages, cheese sausages, veal sausages, chicken sausages and Nuremberg sausages, which are suitable for many people to share, and the semi-finished sausages are fried to ensure a consistent taste.
When it comes to German restaurants, beer is a must-try. Chongqing Prana's main yellow beer and dark beer are brewed by the resident brewer using Paulaner's traditional process, and the brewing process is not sterilized and filtered, and it is naturally turbid. Compared with ordinary industrial beers, Paulana's home-brewed beer has excellent freshness, rich foam, and a mellow and mild drink, without obvious killing taste.
The twisted bag also has a strong German flavor. The twisted bun belongs to the German lye bread, which is characterized by dry and salty dough, the dough is soaked in alkaline water before baking, and after baking, it forms a dark brown color and a slightly salty alkaline flavor, and the taste is also full of toughness. Although this is the flavor of authentic alkaline bread, many local diners do not rate it well, and generally believe that the taste is salty and the texture is too strong, so if you are not a loyal fan of German food, it is recommended to choose carefully.
In order to adapt to the taste of Chongqing customers, in addition to German food, Prana also serves local meals such as spicy chicken, grilled skewers, and grilled chicken wings, but it is gratifying that the Chongqing store has strict quality control, and all German food is cooked according to the group's standards, and the products have not been improved. Located on the 1st floor of the Kempinski Hotel, the restaurant has the same interior as the rest of the city, with a modern twist on the traditional German countryside. The service staff is warm and meticulous, the customer's questions will be answered patiently, and the foreign service staff can communicate in Chinese without barriers.
