One such Saturday when you have International beers, good German food, exotic live band, fantastic climate and that was on October 1st 2016 for the Oktoberfest Finale Brunch at Alfresco, The Eatery.

Phew! Saw the list!? I started with Spargelcremesuppe, a cream of asparagus soup, warm and nice, perfect to go with the weather. I also tried Sauerkraut crullers and Quark Cheese, Herbs mini Pizzette. Crullers were crispy, flaky and stuffed with veggies. Loved it! Pizzette are mini pizzas and here it was topped with cheese and herb.Balanced taste to go well with the mocktails.
