Otto's German Bistro

A farm-to-table German bistro in the historic district, known for its duck schnitzel and listed on nearly every local food guide.

Tucked into a cottage on East Austin Street in the Old Town area, this bistro serves refined German dishes made with local ingredients. The signature is the duck schnitzel, served with spaetzle and duck cracklings, often topped with a fried duck egg. Other dishes include foie gras, quail, a German sausage platter, and chocolate cake. Seating is limited and reservations are scarce, so book ahead or arrive right at opening. Prices run high, with the duck schnitzel close to US$40. It is about a five-minute walk from Main Street.
