Paulaner Beer Garden opened a
new place in Hod Hasharon’s Sharonim mall. Paulaner Beer Garden exclusively
serves Paulaner beers that are especially imported to Israel, including the seasonal
Oktoberfest beer. Paulaner Beer Garden is a place for good music and fine food!
We arrived to Paulaner Beer
Garden in Hod Hasharon on a rainy Sunday evening. The beer garden has a garden
and an indoors area, but both places are covered and heated in the winter. Seating
is in long benches. Inside there are more cosy areas for couples. The concept
is Bavarian from the 19th century where everyone gathers for happy
pastime. The décor is warm with wood and alcohol bottles, even the tap in the
toilets is unique, it looks like a beer tap.
There are plenty of beers and
alcohol here. The place serves unique Paulaner beers, especially imported to
Israel to be served here and they are very good! There are at least six
types of Paulaner beer plus the Octoberfest during the season. We started with
a Royal sampler, which I think is a must have here. I especially enjoyed the Munchner Hell, Hefe-Weissbier, Hefe-Weissbier Dunkel
beers and the Oktoberfest, which is only served during the season.
The menu here is Bavarian
style, led by Zvika Weiner, including German-Austrian food such as corned beef,
traditional sausages with sauerkraut, potatoes, spaetzle, and also standard
food like hamburger or salmon. There is variety of food for meet lovers and
vegans.
Starters
Homemade Pretzel
Two pretzels with smoked
tomato sauce and horseradish aioli. The aioli was a bit spicy and the tomato
sauce is really good!
Iceberg Salad
A large bowl of salad with
iceberg lettuce, a generous amount of toasted almonds, beer soaked dried figs,
brie cheese, with some slices of small radish, cherry tomatoes and purple onion
in honey mustard vinaigrette. Good mix of flavors, fresh and crisp.
Bavarian snack
Assorted bite size sausages,
bonfire potato, root vegetables cream and choucroute with a twist. This was my
husband’s choice and he enjoyed the sausages very much.
Garden Asparagus
Asparagus with corn cream,
semi-hardboiled egg, quinoa popcorn and parmesan flakes. This was my pick and I
loved it so much! The textures of soft semi-liquid egg and crunchy quinoa were
so good!
Mains
Skewered Beef Filet and Bone Marrow
A good portion of beef filet
cubes served with spaetzle in meat broth. The Meat was soft and the bone marrow
a treat! The spaezle is one of the things to order here, it is a type of
noodles very popular in Germany and Austria.
Half a Chicken (The Better Half) on the Grill
A huge wooden tray with a big grilled
half chicken marinated in herbs from our garden, and roasted vegetables. If you
don’t share this, plan to pack it home, it is so big. The chicken is tender and
well seasoned (somewhat salty in the edges) and the vegetables are very good!
Desserts
Kaiserschmarrn
Austrian delicatessen of
shredded airy pancakes, powdered sugar, light cream and Amarena cherries. So
soft and fluffy, one of the treats to try here, I don’t think that there are
many places in Israel that serves it.
Cheese Cake
Cheesecake that they made here
with homemade berry sauce and blueberry sorbet. The cake is a bit sweet and the
homemade sorbet is divine. My husband said that it is worth coming here even
only for this cake!
Summary
Overall, Paulaner Beer Garden
is more than a place to drink beer; it is a good place to eat in as the food
here is very fine!
