Otto’s German Bistro is where Fredericksburg’s German-influenced cuisine shines the most. Unlike other bars and bistros flanking Main Street, Otto’s understated interior pays homage to the city’s heritage with nary a flag in sight. Instead, Otto’s menu does all the heavy lifting. Their flammkuchen, a flatbread dish with arugula, candied bacon, and caramelized onions atop a trio of soft cheeses and generously drizzled with aged balsamic, is simple but delectable. And if you make it in for Sunday brunch, you’ll find yourself wondering why you can’t have eggs and pork schnitzel for every meal. Otto’s dishes filter German cooking through a Texas lens, and we can’t wait to return.
