There is a lot more to German cuisine than bratwurst and sauerkraut. There are wonderful regional dishes such as Hendl , roast chicken, often accompanied with beer and pretzels, Kartoffelsalat , a German style potato salad with bacon, Sauerbraten , a German style pot roast, Knödel , German style dumplings make with bread or potato, Flädle , a broth with savoury German style pancakes, Weisswurst , a white sausage made with veal and pork and Labskaus, a dish made with corned beef.



German style sweets and desserts are also a delight, perhaps the most well known is the distinctive Stollen , which is a type of fruit cake, Prinzregententorte , a gorgeous layered sponge cake, Apple Strudel , Berliner , a German style doughnut and Rote Grütze , which is a dish composed of fruit (usually berries), jelly and milk.

Local versions of these classic German style dishes are available in various German bars, cafes and restaurants located in and around Brisbane. One of the most well known German establishments is The Brisbane German Club and the restaurant Zum Kaiser , in East Brisbane.
