Der Biergarten
48 Prinsep Street
9630 3079 | biergarten.com.sg
Free of fuss and hipster pretentions, Der
Biergarten has stripped German eating
back to basics with simple, traditional
food and, of course, quality beer. For
maximum atmosphere, sit outside in the
laid-back beer garden on busy Prinsep
Street, a spot from which to watch the
world go by, with some serious comfort
food. We’d recommend sharing a
couple of dishes for mains: the
roast
pork knuckle
served with beer gravy,
creamy mash and sauerkraut ($24/$48),
alongside the
Guinness beef cheek
($22). The cheesy, more-ish
Bavarian
pasta spätzle
($12) and the unusual
mushroom fritters
($10) are both
excellent with a draft beer – try Paulaner
or San Miguel. To finish, the chef does a
reasonable
apple strudel
($13). There’s
pool and live music upstairs on Monday,
Friday and Saturday from 8.30pm, but
go knowing you’ll gleefully bust any
carb-free resolutions.

OCTOBERFEST PLANS?
This year, five-piece band Anton and the Funny Guys flies in from Germany
to play Singapore’s Oktoberfest, appearing at Der Biergarten on 16 October.
Throughout the month, there’s a $68 set menu and a special Paulaner
Oktoberfest draught, brewed and brought in especially from Munich.
Oven-roasted, crispy pork hock
