Food times Contd. ...

There are plenty of options in terms of restaurants offering international cuisines in Herzogenaurach. Its a boon for a food connoisseur like me because I get to try new and interesting dishes and not get saturated.




My favourite restaurant here is Corfu which offers authentic greek cuisine. The food is delicious and owner has really become a friend now that we frequent the place so much. This is a very beautiful thing that I have observed in european restaurants...you are welcomed warmly as if you are at somebodys home...everyone seems to know each other...there are smiles all around and no one is in hurry to move..you can sit for as long as you want and no one will rudely give you the cheque or give you any indication that now that your meal is over you can go and make room for others. This general feeling of warmth and merriment really makes the entire eating-out experience pleasant for someone like me who has always stayed in big cities.

There are Chinese options here as well in form of places like Asia Garten, Mr. Deng etc Italian restaurants are also here in plenty and for authentic mexican cuisine Pura Vida is your best bet.For Fast food there are a few Pizzerias and ofcourse McDonalds. Obviously this list would be incomplete without mentioning the German restaurants here. Some like Kreisl offer the Bavarian cuisine and its very important to note that beer plays a very important part in every German meal and your meal is considered incomplete without it and therefore Beer Gardens (known as Bier Gartens) are very popular here.

For authentic Indian food one can go to Erlangen and try places like Bombay Haus, The House of India, Curry House, Boliwood etc. Road side coffee shops and open air bistros are also very famous in Europe where weather permitting, one can sit outside and enjoy a quiet cup of espresso. The coffee chaain of Der Beck seems to be very popular here and its various outlets are present in both Herzogenaurach and Erlangen.

Ofcourse for vegetarians, the options are very limited but if you are a non-vegetarian, then its a good place to be. :)
