Germans Restaurant
German's Restaurant
A Creole institution serving since 1960, where diners widely rate the cow-heel soup the best in the country
Founded by Hubert “German” Urling, the restaurant has served traditional Guyanese Creole food since 1960. It now stands at the corner of New Market Street and Mundy Street. Its most famous dish is the cow-heel soup, though it also serves chicken soup and beef soup. You can mix and match the soups, portions are generous, and prices are fair. The cow-heel soup is only made on certain days of the week, so call ahead if you want it. Lunch often has a queue out the door, and reservations are not taken. It is in North Cummingsburg, not far from Stabroek Market.
