So deliciously more-ish, you might want to be careful how much you eat.
If the thought of crisp, crackling roast pork served with Granny Smith apple compote and sauteed potatoes makes your mouth water, and mixed, chargrilled, gourmet Bavarian sausages served with creamy mash and sauerkraut makes your stomach rumble, you may be in need of a German food fix. We were when we popped into The Bavarian Bier Cafe on York St for lunch and were grateful when the cool day was made a lot warmer with healthy portions of Bavarian fare... and beer.
A few of us from the office eased into the private timber booths that lined the room. Stein glasses hung like a giant chandelier above the sophisticated bar and the modern design reflected the quality of food. Yes, we may have been dipping into the Bavarian culture with plates of sausage and pork belly and steins of Löwenbräu (pronounced Lurve-en-broi rather than Lowen-brow), but don't expect to see a pair of lederhosen or plaited pigtails.

inaugural Bavarian Bier Cafe is sleek and stylish and dedicated to bringing patrons some of the finest beers (and schnapps) on the planet. Bavarians use only four ingredients in the brewing process - hops, malt, yeast and water - and the result is pure, flavoursome beer. If, like us, your mind is firmly on your stomach and you are in the habit of eyeing everyone else's lunch with envy, the Bavarian Tasting Plate offers a bite-sized selection of everything from pork to schnitzel.
