If Oktoberfest is more about the food than the beers for you, then you’ll want to make a reservation at Heimat’s Bavarian à la carte experience. Their kitchen will be churning out a spread of traditional festive fare, including chef Peter’s signature crispy schweinshaxe pork knuckle, roasted Nürnberger wurst with sauerkraut, smoked sausage with black truffle, Käsekrainer cheese sausage with Bavarian cabbage salad, homemade kartoffelsalat potato salad, and more. Save room for desserts, as you won’t want to miss the apfelstrudel apple strudel or the Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte Black Forest cake!
Of course, there will also be plenty of German beers to wet your whistle, from Kaiserdom’s Kellerbier unfiltered lager to Karlsbrau Helles Natur Weizen. The menu ranges from $45 for a selection of fresh-baked pretzel to $328 for the crispy pork knuckle, and is available for lunch and dinner from September 30 to October 26.
