retaurants – Snapping The Globe

Recently, I sang the praises of the chicken schnitzel at the Eetcafe Mosveld in Amsterdam Noord. My exact quote was, “It is truly divine and probably the best that I have had outside of Germany”. Well, if you were curious to know about the best schnitzel inside of Germany…this is a place that serves it!

The Brauhaus Sur Zonne is a family owned establishment located in Mainz, about a half hour’s journey from the Frankfurt International Airport. Located on a side street just near the department store, Kaufhof, it’s somewhat unassuming facade hides a fabulous restaurant with a small traditional beer-hall feel.

Many locals and visitors fill the tables and booths nightly to experience the warm and inviting multi-lingual staff and the reasonably priced and delectable (if not extensive) menu.

Every item offered is delicious, especially the Pepper Schnitzel and Mushroom Schnitzel. Homemade potato wedges and a fresh salad round out the meals and even if you are not a fan of cabbage…like me…ORDER the red cabbage! Amazing! But…come hungry or order a half portion. The servings are huge and enough to take some home for your next day’s lunch.
