The highlights
At Ernst, dining is a celebration of German culinary traditions, with bustling crowds coming together for authentic dishes, engaging entertainment, and a festive atmosphere. The evening began with the Flammkuchen “Elsässer Art,” a crisp base layered with cream cheese, sour cream, and caramelised onions, topped with chives, and Wurst Trio featuring a trio of richly seasoned sausages. The sausages arrived alongside, with hints of chilli, cheese, mustard, and curry sauce, offering a flavourful start.
For larger groups, the Wirtshaus Reindl for 3–4 people is a perfect sharing feast. The platter presents a variety of hearty meats, from a tender knuckle to crispy belly and smoked cuts, paired with crispy schnitzel and a selection of classic sausages. Mashed potatoes, sauerkraut, and golden fries come as sides, accompanied by gravy, mustard, and curry sauce to complement the meats.
For desserts, we went for the Apfelstrudel, a light, flaky pastry filled with spiced apples, served with vanilla ice cream and a scattering of mixed berries, rounding off the dining experience.
Throughout the evening, we savoured specially brewed hops, which whisked us away to the high-energy halls of Munich with its rich flavour and smooth finish. The atmosphere was further enlivened by live entertainment, and traditional German music filled the air as guests clinked their steins and danced merrily, making it a night to remember.
