Brotzeit Philippines Launches Its 2022 Lenten Specials

Our favorite German restaurant, Brotzeit Philippines, has just launched its 2022 Lenten Specials which will be available for the whole months of March and April. These are the perfect options for diners who are strictly following their meatless diets during this special lenten season.

These meatless seafood specialties are now being offered at the two Brotzeit branches in Shangri-La Plaza and Bonifacio Global City. They have really gone their way to prepare these seasonal dishes under the Nordsee Wochen (Gone Fishing) menu, but don’t worry because the regular menu is still fully available for everyone.

With Metro Manila being downgraded to Alert Level 1, we can now enjoy dining out at our favorite restaurants again under the new normal. Gone are the plastic dividers that are usually an eyesore on each table, but Brotzeit continues to follow health and safety procedures, especially as all of their staff are fully vaccinated.

The last time I was here at Brotzeit was during last year’s Oktoberfest season where we dined outside at their al fresco area to be safe (Read: Safe and Fun Oktoberfest and Holidays at Brotzeit Philippines). This time, my friends and I were more comfortable staying inside with the A/C on.

Brotzeit continues to be the most popular German restaurant in the country today. It was conceived in Singapore in 2006 and offers authentic Bavarian cuisine accompanied by world famous quality German beer in a chic and contemporary setting.

Aside from their extensive beverage menu, Brotzeit is also offering a few Seasonal Beers like the Schofferhofer Grapefruit (P200). I was quite curious when I saw this orange-colored beer on the bar so I wanted to try it for myself.

Schofferhofer Grapefruit is the world’s first grapefruit wheat beer and it is now available in the Philippines. It contains 50% Wheat Beer and 50% Pure Grapefruit Juice with just a 2.5% ABV. It actually feels like drinking orange juice, but with a stronger taste. That means you can drink a lot more of these festive beers without getting too drunk. I don’t mind drinking it even in the middle of the afternoon.

We got to try all six of the featured dishes under the Nordsee Wochen menu. First up was the Raucherlachs Fladen (P310) which is a thin crust pizza topped with smoked salmon, capers, rocket salad, mustard seeds, and sour cream. Its crispy crust was very enticing, especially with the tasty salmon slices generously scattered on top of the pizza.

Next was the Geschmorte Muschelin (P560) or New Zealand Mussels in butter, white wine and a hint of chili served with toasted baguette slices. I really liked its creamy white sauce which I eventually scooped up with the garlic bread.

I love eating prawns so it was just natural for me to enjoy having the Mojito Garnelen (P680). These prawns are marinated in mojito, then grilled and served over fresh tomatoes and mozzarella. The combination of prawns and mojito plus the cheese was really outstanding.

We also had some pasta on the table. The Meeresfruchtesnudeln (P390) has fresh seafood tossed in a creamy and buttery Tagliatelle then served with garlic toast. They don’t scrimp on the seafood here because those salmon, shrimp, and mussels are really good.

One of the highlights of the set was the Pochierte Lachs (P420). This butter poached salmon sits on a bed of creamy risotto then topped with rocket salad. It’s a full meal by itself with the risotto and salmon creating a harmonious balance.

Last but not the least, the Steckerlfisch (P690) is a huge roasted mackerel served with crisp potato wedges on the side. This is good for sharing among your friends together with a set of beers and cocktails. So don’t worry about following your meatless traditions this Lent, Brotzeit is always a great place to visit with their awesome Lenten Specials.
