Without boiling the meat ahead of time, the fresh sausages are grilled here after being marinated, smoked and prepared at a special butcher.

The city council meets here—at the oldest bratwurst restaurant in the world—to decide the official size and weight of the Nürnberger bratwursts, so this should be your first stop to try the ubiquitous local delicacy. The sausages have to be small enough to fit through a medieval keyhole, which in earlier days enabled pub owners to sell them after hours.

Zum Gulden Stern, the world’s oldest bratwurst kitchen, has been a classic since the 14th century, offering a culinary journey in Nuremberg’s Old Town.

There are many traditional restaurants in town serving up Nuremberg bratwursts, but for a historical bratwurst kitchen, head to Zum Gulden Stern Historische Bratwurstküche. The history of this historic bratwurst kitchen goes back to 1419!. Here, the original Nuremberg grilled sausages are cooked fresh over a beechwood fire where the hearth is lined with copper pots and pans.

Zum Gulden Stern is the (self-proclaimed) oldest bratwurst restaurant in the world. I don’t know if it is indeed the oldest, but given that it was officially mentioned in documents as early as 1419, I think it’s reason enough to be fascinated. The restaurant takes up both floors of a beautiful little house on Zirkelschmiedsgasse, close to the city wall.

Nuremberg is famous for its Nürnberger, otherwise knowns as roasted pork sausages, and what better way to try them than at the oldest sausage restaurant in the world, the Zum Gulden Stern. They serve sausages handcrafted by local butchers using traditional ingredients and grilled over a beech wood fire. The restaurant is open daily from 11am to 10pm.

At the self proclaimed oldest restaurant in Nuremberg, Zum Goldener Stern, the menu is all about the famous Nuremberg Rostbratwurst sausages. In fact the Goldener Stern has a pretty strong claim on being the oldest sausage restaurant in the world, and indeed this little stube has been selling theirs since 1640. What is special about these sausages?

This historic restaurant was originally built in 1380 on the cobbled Zirkelschmiedsgasse street. The restaurant was first mentioned in 1419 and has been serving bratwurst and other delectable dishes ever since. This is Nuremberg's oldest restaurant that has been continuously operating from the same location.

For a more authentic expierience I'd try "Zum Gulden Stern", Zirkelschmiedsgasse 26, mostly frequented by locals (since it is 5 minutes out of the touristic paths); reservation recommended; waitresses' command of English is mostly poor. BTW, the "Steichele" mentioned above has also decent "Bratwoerschtla".

Zum Gulden Stern” means “The Golden Star”, and it certainly gets a gold star from me!. (was that cheesy enough? Cool.). It bills itself as the oldest restaurant in Nuremberg, and given that it was built in 1380, yup, can’t really argue with that.

Indulge in delicious local cuisine at the legendary Bratwurstküche and take a guided walking tour to learn about the city’s rich history.
