Sourcing & production

The top chefs carefully select the freshest ingredients, most of which come from the immediate surroundings – such as the nearby Knoblauchsland. Sustainability and working with local producers are a top priority here – to offer you unforgettable culinary experiences. Restaurant etz has perfected this approach and, in addition to two stars, has been awarded the Green Star by the Michelin Guide.

Our tips: You can explore the Knoblauchsland actively on guided culinary cycling tours. Discover the history of one of the largest contiguous vegetable-growing areas in Germany on your own bike and try historical appetisers and regional products. Another great experience is a ride in the historic mail coach of the Museum of Communication, which also travels through the Knoblauchsland.

Gin and whisky in Nuremberg

In Nuremberg, you can enjoy not only exquisite food on your plate but also first-class drinks in your glass – a perfect combination of culinary delight and pleasure. Hand-picked and masterfully distilled, gin is the perfect companion for fine-dining experiences. At Imperial by Alexander Herrmann, enjoy a matching gin pairing with your menu.

 

Get to know the world of gin at the spirits school of the Gelbes Haus. Inspired by Albrecht Dürer, managing director Oliver Kirschner developed the “Nürnberg Gin”. The “botanicals” are familiar from two regional specialities – Nuremberg bratwurst and Nuremberg Lebkuchen – and include marjoram, pepper, mace, cloves, cardamom, allspice and lemon, among others.

Whisky, too, is deeply rooted in Nuremberg's history. Not only is Germany's oldest whisky club based here, the whisk(e)y fair THE VILLAGE has also established itself as the most visited fair of its kind. Germany's first organic whisky made from natural raw materials also originated in Nuremberg. Master brewer Reinhard Engel and his son Max Engel from the Hausbrauerei Altstadthof use only high-quality red speciality malt to distil the single malt whisky – this is how the brewery's own Ayrer’s Whisky is made. An excellent organic single malt whisky, distilled in the heart of the Old Town. Since 2019, Ayrer’s Whisky has been maturing in the casemates of Nuremberg's historic city wall.

 

Our tip: Join a guided tour of the Historic Rock-Cut Cellars – including a beer tasting at the Hausbrauerei Altstadthof and a visit to the whisky warehouse!
