Their anniversary sparks a worldwide celebration held every year from mid-September and wraps up on the first Sunday in October, usually lasting 16 days. Revelers enjoy good beer and food, carnival rides and games and the chance to dress up in their lederhosen and dirndls.<\/p>\n<p>Like most holidays, it\u2019s become internationally commercialized, with the potential for businesses to capitalize on beer and food sales. If you\u2019re wondering how to host and promote an Oktoberfest event at your restaurant but don\u2019t know enough about German culture and cuisine to flesh out an entire menu, try out these Oktoberfest food and drink menu ideas. Prost!<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Oktoberfest Food Menu Ideas<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>We\u2019ve included traditional Oktoberfest foods as well as a few Americanized suggestions that may be a pinch more palatable to picky eaters than braised cabbage. But whether you\u2019re looking to make the restaurant Oktoberfest experience as authentic as possible or are willing to put a new spin on a time-old tradition, check out the list below for a little mouth-watery inspiration!<\/p>\n<h3><em>Snacks &amp; Appetizers<\/em><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Bavarian pretzels<\/strong> \u2013 Traditional <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foodandwine.com\/recipes\/bavarian-pretzels\">Oktoberfest pretzels<\/a> are usually a little bit more firm than the soft Americanized versions we all know and love. Put an authentic spin on it by serving it with a sweet or spicy brown mustard or Obatzda, a creamy beer cheese dip.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sausage and cheese platter<\/strong> \u2013 Although this is not a traditional Oktoberfest food, Germans are known for their sausage and will be well received by hungry patrons looking to soak up a little beer.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Potato pancakes (Kartoffelpuffer)<\/strong> \u2013 Another shareable is the classic potato pancakes. Better yet, they utilize cheap, staple ingredients that enjoy a high-profit margin which you can cross-use in other dishes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Candied almonds (Lebkuchenherzen)<\/strong> \u2013 Candied almonds are a type of snack that\u2019s often eaten at Oktoberfest and double as a popular festival food here, too.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><em>Main Entrees<\/em><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Roast pork (Schweinebraten mit Kn\u00f6deln und Rotkohl)<\/strong> \u2013 Roast pork that\u2019s traditionally served at Oktoberfest typically comes with kn\u00f6del and red cabbage. In case you\u2019re unfamiliar, a kn\u00f6del is a dumpling, but it&#8217;s not one in the American sense of the word. They are often made out of boiled potatoes, bread, flour and to curate a variety of ingredients, flavors and textures.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Brat (Bratwurst mit Sauerkraut)<\/strong> \u2013 It really wouldn\u2019t be Oktoberfest in Germany or America without a good old-fashioned <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foodnetwork.com\/recipes\/michael-symon\/bratwurst-stewed-with-sauerkraut-recipe-2013635\">bratwurst with sauerkraut<\/a>. Because of its notoriety, it&#8217;s perhaps one of the safest food options to put on the Oktoberfest menu.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Wiener schnitzel and french fries and salad<\/strong> \u2013 Wiener schnitzel is also another Oktoberfest menu idea that will guarantee sales, as most partygoers will be familiar with the dish. Combine it with french fries or kn\u00f6del and a salad to make it a meal.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rotisserie chicken (Halbes Hendle)<\/strong> \u2013 If you\u2019ve ever walked the Oktoberfest festival grounds in Germany, you\u2019ll know that they love their halbes hendle. Why would Americans be any different?<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cheese Sp\u00e4tzle<\/strong> \u2013 A classic German side dish is Sp\u00e4tzle, an egg noodle dish that\u2019s tossed with Emmentaler cheese and fried onions. It\u2019s similar to mac\u2019n\u2019cheese, and it can be served as a main course or a side.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><em>Side Dishes<\/em><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Sauerkraut<\/strong> \u2013 Of course, it wouldn\u2019t be a German celebration without the Sauerkraut. If you\u2019re already serving brats, you can kill two birds with one stone and cross-use this ingredient as a side.<\/li>\n<li><strong>German potato salad (Kartoffelsalat)<\/strong> \u2013 German potato salad has many faces, but the core ingredients include red potatoes, mustard, bacon and herbs, relying on vinegar to establish the tangy flavor that Germans are so fond of.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Braised red cabbage (Rotkohl)<\/strong> \u2013 If you\u2019re looking for ways to sneak in a vegetable, you\u2019ll want to consider this popular German side dish. Not only is braised red cabbage healthy, but it compliments the rich and savory flavors that dominate German cuisine.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><em>Desserts<\/em><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-18216 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.partstown.com\/about-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Oktoberfest-Lebkuchenherzen-German-Oktoberfest-Menu-Ideas.jpg\" alt=\"Oktoberfest Lebkuchenherzen - Oktoberfest Menu Ideas\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.partstown.com\/about-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Oktoberfest-Lebkuchenherzen-German-Oktoberfest-Menu-Ideas.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.partstown.com\/about-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Oktoberfest-Lebkuchenherzen-German-Oktoberfest-Menu-Ideas-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.partstown.com\/about-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Oktoberfest-Lebkuchenherzen-German-Oktoberfest-Menu-Ideas-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.partstown.com\/about-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Oktoberfest-Lebkuchenherzen-German-Oktoberfest-Menu-Ideas-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Gingerbread hearts (Lebkuchenherzen)<\/strong> \u2013 Lebkuchenherzen, as they\u2019re known in German, are heart-shaped gingerbread cookies made from spiced dough and decorated with icing to spell out themed messages. They\u2019re valued higher for their souvenir potential than their taste. Because of this, they&#8217;re usually accompanied by a ribbon that can be worn around the neck or hung on a wall.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Black forest cake (Schwarzw\u00e4lder)<\/strong> \u2013 Although <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allrecipes.com\/recipe\/8095\/black-forest-cake-i\/\">black forest cake<\/a> is not a traditional Oktoberfest dessert, it is decidedly German and extremely tasty. It will fit in easily with the American pallet.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Kaiserschmarrn<\/strong> \u2013 Not as well known in the US but popular in Germany is the Kaiserschmarrn. It&#8217;s a shredded slightly sweetened pancake that\u2019s served with applesauce. Whipped cream and vanilla bean ice cream would also complement the flavors well.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Oktoberfest Drink Menu Ideas &amp; Pairings<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>At an authentic Oktoberfest, you\u2019d be presented a<a href=\"https:\/\/www.partstown.com\/about-us\/how-many-types-of-beer-are-there-for-restaurants\"> few alcoholic choices<\/a>: Oktoberfest (M\u00e4rzen), Festbier, Wheat beer (Wei\u00dfbier) and occasionally a Radler or Dunkle, with the festival beers naturally pairing well with traditional food options. Oktoberfest beer is traditionally served in 1-liter steins called Ma\u00dfkrug \u2013 which would be the equivalent of a little over 3 normal-sized US beers, mind you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Marketing Tip:<\/strong> Offer customers the option to buy their stein that they can bring back and reuse throughout the season to get a discount on future refills.<\/p>\n<h3><em>Oktoberfest Beer<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>Oktoberfest beer, or M\u00e4rzen as it\u2019s called in Germany, is specially brewed for Oktoberfest and contains a slightly higher alcohol per volume. These beers are brewed in March and stored until Volksfest in the fall, hence its name. In Munich, they have what is known as the \u201cBig Six,\u201d which are the six breweries allowed to sell their beer at Oktoberfest:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Hofbr\u00e4uhaus<\/li>\n<li>L\u00f6wenbr\u00e4u<\/li>\n<li>Augustinerbr\u00e4u<\/li>\n<li>Paulaner<\/li>\n<li>Hacker-Pschorr<\/li>\n<li>Spaten-Franziskaner<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Of course, American-style Oktoberfest beers tend to be a little sweeter and more red in color than those served bottoms up in Germany, but customers may enjoy flavors they\u2019re more familiar with.<\/p>\n<h3><em>Other German Beer<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>Because America may have taken a few liberties with the celebrations, ones that lean hard into the stereotypes which we\u2019ve adapted to our tastes and preferences and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.partstown.com\/about-us\/how-to-find-the-perfect-food-beer-pairings\">beer and food pairings<\/a>, no one is going to say boo if you decide to stray away from the path of straight and narrow and showcase a couple of different types of imported German beer \u2013 because there are many!<\/p>\n<h3><em>Non-Alcoholic German Drinks<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>For the underaged, pregnant and sober, they can still quench their thirst with a variety of non-alcoholic German beverages.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Apfelschorle<\/strong> \u2013 Apfelschorle is apple juice cut with sparkling water to reduce its concentration. Many people enjoy this light, refreshing drink because it\u2019s not as syrupy sweet or rich as what we\u2019re used to.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Spezi<\/strong> \u2013 Spezi is a German-style soda that mixes cola and orange flavors equally to achieve a sweet balance between citrusy and caramel notes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sparkling water<\/strong> \u2013 Germans rarely drink stille wasser or noncarbonated water. Enjoy the bubbly tingle of soda without the sugar and chemicals.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>How to Promote Oktoberfest in Your Restaurant<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve spent all that time, energy and money agonizing over German Oktoberfest menu ideas, investing in decorations and planning activities for your patrons, you\u2019ll want to make sure you get the word out so all your hard work doesn\u2019t go to waste!<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no need to slap down even more cash before you see the returns.
