Augsburg restaurants feature the hearty, tasty cuisine of both Bavaria and Swabia.
Augsburg Dishes
Weißwurst
This Bavarian specialty is typically eaten as a mid-morning snack because of it is high perishable. (The Bavarians say that Weißwurst should not be allowed to hear the 12:00 noon church bells for this fact.) It is a mix of minced veal and pork bacon, flavored with fresh spices.
Try it with the traditional German mustard and that other Bavarian staple, the Brezen (pretzel).
Leberkäse
This is a popular item with Bavarian butchers, who produce fresh Leberkäse at least twice a day. In other regions of Germany, this meatloaf contains liver. But Bavaria is the exception, usually using fresh beef, pork and lard. It is also often eaten for a mid-morning snack.
Wurstsalat
Only in Germany will you find a “salad” made almost completely of sausage. Some lettuce and onions are usually served together with it.
Leberknödel
Leberknödel are another Bavarian favorite, made with bread dumplings, onions and liver. They’re too good!
