A must-visit restaurant that is making German food modern and memorable. The space is open with high ceilings, staff is friendly and the menu is modest in size, which I interpret as a sign of a chef who would rather send out a few great dishes as opposed to a plethora of mediocre ones, so thank you!
The weinerschnitzel with red cabbage, caramelized onions and mashed potatoes were phenomenal--reminded me of the weinerschnitzel in Zurich. The Königsberger Klopse (German version of beef stroganoff, if you will) was homey, light and quite flavorful.
And if you enjoy cheese curds, try the ones at Freiburg where they're served with a refreshing cucumber dipping sauce. They were delicious probably in part because the chef used to work at The Avenue Bar and The Old Fashioned who know how to make curds in their own right.
Freiburg is great for couples, small groups and children (who eat free on Mondays).
Note to late-night eaters: the kitchen has a habit of closing early (even on a Friday) if it's not bustling so don't waltz in at 9:25pm unless you have a back-up plan.
