    Thanks. We have visitors coming this weekend, and I was wondering if you have any other restraurants you would add to this list.

      Martinsbrau is another house brewery that is very good. It is right next to Martinstor underneath Markthalle. The beer is fresh and the food is local. The menu isn’t very varied, but what is on there is good.
      El Bolero is down Kaiser Joseph str from Martinstor one tram stop or so. It is latin themed with some mexican style things as well as pizza. Not very “German”, but good.
      Brasil is along the tram line, one stop to the west of the Train Station. The food is good and the atmosphere is nice. Some really great chocolate cake.

      Send me an email instead of a comment if you need faster responses in the future.

    Now I’m hungry again! I love Flammkuchen. So good. My favorite is the traditional one with onion and bacon. And I long for authentic Italian gelato and pizza and pasta and more…. I think, for the most part, we got lucky in Germany with pretty authentic Italian food. Don’t you?

      Germany has good Italian and Turkish food for the same reason much of the US gets good Mexican. Immigrants bring their cuisine. Loving the Gelato here. Had one for lunch today.

    As we are finalizing our moving to Freiburg by end of summer, I appreciate your blog more & more. I can’t wait to try out the Flammkuchen at Cafe Legere & Art Cafe! I’ve only had it once and couldn’t believe how good it was. Being from NY, I thought it would taste like bad pizza but, of course, it was an unfounded prejudice! Very much looking forward to relaxing in the biergartens too 🙂 And the Market by the cathedral is so beautiful, definitely one of the draws for me. Thanks for writing about Freiburg specifically! I’m starting to look forward to my new life in Deutschland.

      Thanks so much. I’m glad that I can help.

      New York Style Pizza is something we are still searching for here, though.

        Yes, NY pizza and great Asian food still need to find their way to Freiburg!!

          I have an Asian place I quite like. Still need to work on Pizza. Italians made it first and there are plenty of them around, so I have hopes.

    Would you believe it? I’ve not yet been to Freiburg? Well, this list will certainly come in handy for the wife who’s always out to sample local fare.

      Really? You need to come visit. There are tons of hiking trails around.

    So what would be the best place to eat before, after, or during a football match? 🙂

      O’Kellys is probably the most Sports Bar-y on that list and can definitely get crowded during a big game.

    Andrew, I love this. I had a chance to visit Freiburg for two days during the time I lived in Germany. It was a beautiful city. I enjoyed Cathedral square and the market you mentioned. Next time I am in Germany I will try some of the restaurants in your post.
