Prost! Raise A Toast to the New Home of Brotzeit at The Podium

For over 12 years, Brotzeit in its original location was home. Months before, its relocation had been announced leaving a bittersweet feeling with so many memories. But that much anticipated moment has finally arrived. I'm home and back again once more in Brotzeit at its new location in The Podium...


Bigger, better and more elegant, Brotzeit pulls all the stops for its triumphant return to the Ortigas commercial and business district with its new home at The Podium. Round up the gang, the good times are back. It's time to raise a toast, shall we? 


It's been said that changes in locations are part of any cycle but no matter where you are on the map that's constantly evolving, the brand endures. That's the case with Brotzeit, with its own distinctive brand of Bavarian hospitality and good times built over twelve long years. Located high up at the sixth floor of The Podium, the lavish new space presents yet another chapter in the continuing story of Brotzeit... 


...with rows of its signature wooden tables and bench seating reminiscent of traditional beer halls...


...and elevated levels around the edges offering a more intimate area to enjoy with friends. The high ceiling along with wood, stone and glass design elements combine for a sleek and modern space anchored by an impressive long bar while retaining the comfortingly warm vibe of the brand. Located high up at the top of The Podium, this may be the most impressive location of Brotzeit yet. 


And what better way to kick-off your Brotzeit experience than with some refreshing libations, right? You can start with a non-alcoholic mocktail like the Mojito Appel with its blend of apple juice, mint and lime...


...or get straight down to business with the exquisite selection of authentic Bavarian brews fresh on tap at Brotzeit. This is what the Brotzeit brand is all about, great beer paired with hearty good food. And good company is a welcome option. From my very first post on the popular Bavarian beer bar back 2013 (more here on my post, Prost! Good Times at Brotzeit German Bier Bar & Restaurant) all the way to my most recent post (see my post, The Lunch Situation, Simplified: Introducing the New Lunch Menu at Brotzeit from a few months back), the Bavarian brand of good times remains solid. 


Pick a spot at the long bar and enjoy your fresh pick off the tap...


...and just immerse yourself in the moment with one long soothing sip quickly followed by another. The refreshingly crisp notes of the Weihenstephaner Original Helles or the Paulaner Münchner Hell with its fresh and clean flavors is your warm welcome to the new home of Brotzeit at The Podium


After a few more festive rounds of authentic Bavarian brews, the kitchen at Brotzeit dishes out tasty bites to complete the mood and vibe like the Gemischte Bruschetta or cold cuts with cheese canape and Raücherlachs Canape with smoked salmon to tease your palate after each refreshing sip. 


Prefer your own sandwich? No problem. The classic Reuben with beef pastrami, Emmentaler, sauerkraut, homemade pickles and potatoes works all the time washed down perfectly with a cold Bavarian brew. 


Potatoes are a central element in Bavarian cuisine, and Brotzeit offers a full range of Rösti or butter roasted potato cakes like Valais Rösti topped with bacon, egg and Gruyere. Another equally tempting option includes the Schweinshaxn Rösti with crispy pork knuckles, spinach, roasted garlic, mustard and chili sauce. 


One more round? Absolutely. And keep 'em coming...


Then, the popular BrotzeitPlatte Wurstel & Ripperl makes its grand entrance to your table...


The impressive board loaded with Schweinshaxn or crunchy and juicy pork knuckles with gravy, Chicken Schnitzel, a selection of premium homemade sausages, fall-off-the-bone ribs, garden fresh greens, creamy potato salad and sauerkraut is the quintessential dish of the Brotzeit brand experience. All the flavors celebrate the grand Bavarian tradition, meticulously recreated at Brotzeit.


A few more tasty bites and it's time to shift gears with the deep flavorful notes of the Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier Dunkel pairing well with the savory richness from the various offerings of the BrotzeitPlatte Wurstel & Ripperl

You are finally home. Locations change, but the brand endures. Bigger and better, the new home of Brotzeit at The Podium marks another chapter in the brand's continuing story of good times with a distinctive Bavarian flair. And that deserves another round of libations. And a toast. Prost!
