Paulaner's.

I'd been itching for some German food for some time now, but unfortunately, Beijing has yet to develop a more diverse cultural palette itself. After speaking with Scott about where to go for authenticity and quality, we decided to give Paulaner's a taste test. After calling several friends over for dinner, we were all set for our Bratwurst orgy.

And authentic it was! Paulaner's was nestled within the Luftansa Business Complex right next to the BMW Showroom. Not only was it a restaurant, but it also served as Paulaner's very own beer microbrewery!

My currywurst was a treat with just enough curry spice on the outside, and the just enough juiciness in the inside. With Paulaner's home-brew beer, the bill for myself alone came to around 120 RMB, slightly on the expensive side compared to price:quantity ratio you would expect at Chinese restaurants here, but the experience of biting into something from the motherland and sharing this experience with friends was worth every kuai.
