German Restaurant and Beer Garden Kiez Is Open in Highland Park | Eater LA

"A German restaurant and beer garden recently opened at 4939 York Boulevard in Highland Park. Behind the new business are partners Bjoern Risse and Bülent Yildirim, who run the restaurants Wirtshaus on La Brea Avenue and Rasselbock Kitchen & Beer Garden in Long Beach and Mar Vista; both are originally from Hagen, Germany. The welcoming indoor-outdoor space includes a piece of the Berlin Wall and is described as a "modern Berlin-style biergarten." The menu features German staples like schnitzel, soft pretzels, currywurst, spaetzle, and apple strudel and offers 30-plus mostly German and Belgian beers, with a full liquor license slated for the future. It also serves several flammkuchen (German French flatbreads): the classic comes with creme fraiche, bacon, arugula, and Parmigiano Reggiano, while the supreme has tomato sauce, spicy beef sausage, pepperoncini, and spicy aioli. Hours are Monday–Thursday 4 p.m.–10 p.m.; Friday–Saturday 11 a.m.–11 p.m.; Sunday 11 a.m.–10 p.m." - Cathy Chaplin
