cozy east german restaurant with a mission appeal

The restaurant is on a somewhat deserted stretch of Van Ness Avenue at the northern end of the Mission. Once inside though it feels like you’re in a restaurant straight out of Eastern Germany with some definite hipster stylings. The mostly bare walls are decorated with various posters in German.

Our waiter was great. He was friendly and explained all the different beers. Despite the mostly meat-based menu, this restaurant is actually great for vegetarians. The few vegetarian dishes are quite good. I can only imagine that the meat ones are even better. Of course, as with any German restaurant, part of the draw is the beer. Walzwerk doesn’t have a huge list, but it has enough. There’s about 5 different German beers on tap and the same number bottled. Plus they offer the typically-German mixed drinks like beer+coke, beer+7up, and coke+7up.

What I ate:
  • ***

    Two large cabbage leaves each stuffed with rice and a bunch of vegetables. As our waiter said when we asked what vegetables were in the dish, “all of them” :) We managed to identify peas, carrots, broccoli, and cauliflower, but there were definitely more. The dish was good but didn’t impress me as much as the spätzle. My friend though liked this dish more. If you want a good idea of Eastern European food, this is pretty damn close.

  • *****

    The spätzle was excellent. Small macaroni-like noodles mixed with cheese and friend onions. It was crispy on the outside, soft and cheesy inside. With good cabbage and shredded carrots on the side.

I went to Walzwerk for a birthday party and we were seated in the back room since there were over 10 of us. It’s a cool little East German restaurant which got really hot inside (it was a really hot day in SF). I’m not a big fan of German food but I’d definitely think about Walzwerk if I had a craving.

East German food in a cool and quirky environment. Go for the Jaeger Scnitzel or one of the daily specials. Vegetarians welcome – there is a veg Schnitzel waiting for you! Make a reservation as it is crowded every night.
