You don’t need to travel to Euro 2024 to enjoy classic food and drink from the host nation, according to new research by train operator LNER.
They’ve named the top three places in both England and Scotland to enjoy German classics like bratwurst and sauerkraut alongside Bavarian beers.
Scotland kick off their Euro 2024 campaign on Friday in the opening game of the tournament, taking on the home team in Munich, while England play Serbia in Gelsenkirchen on Sunday.
Here are LNER’s top three recommendations for enjoying German hospitality in Scotland & England.
Brewhemia, Edinburgh
Situated right next to Edinburgh Waverley Station, this bar with a large restaurant area serves authentic bratwurst, currywurst and veganwurst.
Bavaria Brauhaus, Glasgow
This Munich-style Bavarian beer hall serves German beer alongside bier battered bratwurst and veganwurst as well as German classics such as sauerkraut and strudel.
Manuelas Wee Bakery, Ardelve
