Description

After closing his short-lived upscale-food venture, Da Capo (an odd Floribbean/Creole/Mediterranean/Austrian joint), chef/owner Harald Neuberg redesigned this large room to serve the stuff for which he became beloved at the old Mozart Stube: traditional German and Austrian fare, in a convivial college-sports-bar ambiance complete with servers in St. Pauli Girl garb. Schnitzels are superior. So are sausages, available as entrées or in tapas-style portions. There's one special each night, and Wednesday offers a worthy haxen abend -- a roast pork shank roughly the size of Everglades National Park. But dieters are also well served with a mixed salatteller of three salads. Choice is up to the diner, but a combo of gurken (cucumber), shredded karrotten (carrot), and kraut (white cabbage) is highly recommended, owing to their balanced, not-too-vinegary marinades that allow the veggies' individual flavors to come through. Naturally, there's a good selection of hefty German beers, which makes Fritz & Franz's annual Oktoberfest party the most fun and authentic in town. Try the Koenig Ludwig Weisbier, the Warsteiner, or Das Boot -- two liters of the amber brew poured into a giant glass boot so coveted by regulars that you must leave your driver's license as insurance that the restaurant will get it back.

    It normally strikes around October.

To cope with such cravings, head to Coral Gables. Okay, the Gables doesn't have even the faintest whiff of Munich or Bonn. But simply enter the cheery Fritz and Franz Bierhaus. Here German entrepreneur Harald Neuweg has created a nice little haven for expats of the Faderland.... More »
