About
Many diners select this restaurant as much for its architecture as for its simple, wholesome food. Built in 1538, Krebsenkeller's entrance lies beneath a covered passageway that ends in an enclosed courtyard. Cafe tables spill from beneath a grape arbor into the courtyard-style garden. There's ample seating indoors in a series of dining rooms, including an underground keller (cellar), a street-level stüberl (tavern), and a gemütlich room known locally as the Osteria. Menu items include grilled dishes prepared in varying degrees of spiciness, a variety of homemade soups, fresh salads, fresh fish, and wild game. Dine as the residents do and order the savory kettle of goulash or the boiled pork with a cabbage salad. For dessert, the best choice is a crepe stuffed with marmalade, chocolate, or ice cream and covered with a hot strawberry or cranberry sauce.
