Brauhaus Schmitz is proud to introduce a new concept to Philadelphia:
“New German Cooking.” Chef Jeremy Nolen is extremely passionate about changing the general perception of German Cuisine being bland and nothing but brats and schnitzels. On our menu Chef Nolen has several featured specialties that will alter anybody’s opinion about the “bland” cuisine. Jeremy also creates several special dishes to be featured during weekend service, starting on thursdays.

Make sure you stop in for one of the delicious Chef Specialties and be ready to get your German cuisine knowledge turned up side down.
