The Hof offers great tasty Bavarian food from delicious schnitzel, freshly crumbed in-house with infamously good and smooth potatoes served with a side of sauerkraut, to tasty schweinshaxe (pork knuckle) accompanied by the best pork crackling ever.

They have unbeatable sharing platters and heaps of sausages - from knackwurst to jalapeno cheese kranskys, The Hof has the best Bavarian sausages in town. Plus there's a large variety of imported ice-cold German biers on tap.

The Hof Downtown is a great destination for any time of the week, with a relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff, great food, beer, wine and cocktail selection.
