Brachmanns Galeron

St Pauli & Reeperbahn


Schwabisch specialities (from the area around Stuttgart) dominate this light-filled restaurant and whisky bar – the combination of the two means you could easily spend a whole night here without ever needing to leave. Dishes include Spätzle, a pasta-like dish.
