Whilst there are small tables and chairs, it’s much more fun – especially on the Schnitzel Nights – to try the communal seats.On entering, you can’t miss the delectable aroma of freshly-baked traditional German breads (yes – pretzels included!).The menu is surprisingly extensive – even for breakfast – so have a closer look at the gallery below to be tempted 🙂There’s also a wide range of coffees, teas, juices, ‘proper’ German beer – including brands not normally seen in Dubai – as well as many inviting cakes and desserts. What did I eat?LunchFirstly, I had a light lunch (soup and roll) which was amazing.Tasty, thick Farmhouse vegetable soup with three (a Pretzel type , a wholegrain and a Brioche style) warm, rolls. In addition, a bread tray was also offered to sample even more different types of bread.Brothaus Bakery Bistro_soupSchnitzel TuesdaysWhilst I was staying at the hotel, the receptionist mentioned that Tuesday evenings were popular due to Schnitzel Tuesday deals in Brothaus Bakery Bistro.Of course, I needed to investigate – and I’m glad I did. From 6pm till 11pm, you can buy either:-1 Schnitzel + 2 malted beverages for 111 AED1 Burger + 2 malted beverages for 99 AEDNow, there is a MIGHTY bargain to be had here. The two beverages are from a range of specially-imported German beers, most of which are not common in Dubai. So, you can select two of the more expensive brands – which normally retail around 45-50 AED – and effectively get your food as a side-dish free 🙂The only negative is the beer was that good, and the atmosphere so warm and convivial, I forgot to take a photograph of the meal…BreakfastScrambled Farm eggs, grilled green asparagus and salmon caviar butterbrot (butter bread) – just amazing! Amazon.co.uk WidgetsA real tasty, terrific bargain for only 45 AED.

This baby is really worth trying – two large wursts, delicately spiced and with that ‘special’ curry/tomato sauce alongside. Ideal to wash down a Warsteiner or two with.two large wursts, delicately spiced and with that ‘special’ curry/tomato sauce alongside.

Unless you wish to purposely feel like Wilfred Thesiger crossing the Empty Quarter, it’s better to use the main hotel entrance and lobby.Unless you wish to purposely feel like Wilfred Thesiger crossing the Empty Quarter, it’s better to use the main hotel entrance and lobby.Click To TweetBrothaus Bakery Bistro – One sentence summaryIf you have a taste for German cuisine and traditional bread, or just excellent beer, you’ll not go wrong at Brothaus Bakery Bistro.Brothaus Bakery Bistro – DetailsDate(s) visited: 30 Aug – 01 Sep 2016Open: 0730 – 2300 (Sat-Wed), 0730-2359 (Thu-Fri)Nearest Metro: Business Bay (22 mins/1.6km)Cuisines: Traditional GermanRecommended: Currywurst, traditional German fresh-baked Pretzels or Laugen-Cheese bread and the Schnitzel Happy Hours.Disclosure: All of our reviews are visited anonymously, and we pay for all charges ourselves.We feel no freebies, no bias, no PR or marketing involvement makes for a fairer, objective and better review for you.Brothaus Bakery Bistro_folio Join the newsletter Subscribe to get our latest content by email.Success!
