Food of the German Lakes

Of course it’s not possible to write a general description of the food of the German lakes. Often Bavarian food is different even in the next village. But we can tell you about the different delicacies you should try at different lakes. Maybe you’ll find a tip or two?

  • Munich Lakes: Surprise! Of course you didn’t expect this - Munich white sausage! But you can also expect roast pork with potato dumplings, ‘Schweinshax’n’ (pork leg) or ‘Damfnudeln’ (steamed dumpling) with vanilla sauce - you should try it all in Munich.
  • Bavarian Lakes: Of course, the Bavarian cuisine is almost identical to that in Munich. Obazda (cheese spread), ‘Fleischpflanzerl’ (meatballs) or a sour ‘Lüngerl’ (stew made from calf lung)? In Bavaria you can eat till you hurt.
  • Chiemsee: Be sure to try the fresh grilled fish from the Chiemsee, or the delicious marzipan from Fraueninsel - a treat.

  • Lake Constance: A St Gallen sausage from Switzerland, ‘Käsknöpfle' (egg pasta with cheese and fried onions) from the Allgäu or sweet apple strudel from Austria? On Lake Constance you can sample delicacies from three countries.
  • Mecklenburg Lake District: Of course fish is important in the Mecklenburg Lake District! Great dishes such as braised zander or pike in parsley sauce will delight fish lovers. But the carnivores also get their money’s worth with dishes such as stuffed pork loin or Mecklenburg rib roast.
  • Berlin Lakes: Berlin is a big melting pot of different cultures and nations. And that’s reflected in the cuisine. To be considered a Berlin speciality, a dish doesn’t necessarily need to have been created there. But if you want to try ‘traditional’ food try a pork chop with sauerkraut, a Holstein style Schnitzel or a famous Currywurst.
