Suppenküche

Authentic German fare like pretzels & schnitzels plus imported beers served in a glass boot. Suppenküche literally means Soup Kitchen in German. Fabi says he partly chose the name because he thought all Americans love soup, but also because he liked the reference to soup kitchens, which provide food and community to anyone in need. In Southern Germany, beer is synonymous with community and tradition. German monks began brewing beer for mass consumption over a thousand years ago, and it remains a vital part of German culture to this day. Suppenküche carries on this tradition in Hayes Valley.
