5 Best German Restaurants in Singapore

There is no better place to enjoy a bottle of beer than at Brotzeit, a famous German restaurant chain known for its Paulaner beers and crispy pork knuckles, considered the best German food in Singapore.

Brotzeit showcases Bavarian cuisine across its four locations throughout the island, with the VivoCity outlet being the most popular.

MENU: Contrary to popular belief, German cuisine can be extensive, as demonstrated by the creative menu at Brotzeit. The restaurant offers dedicated menus for lunch and dinner, including beverages. In a surprising twist for unsuspecting foodies, Brotzeit also offers Fladen or pizzas. Vegans will find delight in the salads, vegan pizza, sides, and desserts, while meat lovers won’t need much convincing as platter options are available and perfect for sharing.

AMBIANCE: All Brotzeit locations in Singapore have a beer garden atmosphere. This makes each location a good place to catch up with friends over beer and pork knuckle. The Vivo City outlet is particularly known for its alfresco dining, as the restaurant sits by the sea overlooking Sentosa. But if you prefer being closer to the central business districts, you won’t go wrong with the Somerset 313 and Raffles City locations.

As the name implies, Blackforest cake is the major crowd puller of this good German restaurant and café. Germans do love their cakes as much as the French love their breads and sweets.

But what else should you expect from Stuttgart?
