Zum Gulden Stern
Bratwurstküche Zum gulden Stern
Claiming to be the world's oldest sausage kitchen dating back to 1419, this traditional landmark in the southern old town grills raw, unboiled sausages fresh over a beechwood fire.
Located at Zirkelschmiedsgasse 26 in the southern part of the Old Town, the official website states it has been operating since 1419. The signature dish is the registered brand 'Röstla': Nuremberg sausages supplied by the family butchery Pfettner, grilled directly over a beechwood fire without being pre-boiled. They also serve 'Saure Zipfel' simmered in a Franconian wine broth, homemade sauerkraut, and potato salad, with vegetarian options available. The website recommends booking for weekends and holidays, which can be done via their webpage, phone, or email. Six sausages with one side cost around EUR 11 (2024 menu), though prices may have been adjusted. The kitchen stops taking orders at 21:30. About a ten-minute walk from Nuremberg Central Station.
