Oktoberfest in New Orleans means warm pretzels, chicken schnitzel, and beer on tap. Pair that with outdoor dining and beautiful fall weather, and it’s a win-win situation for us all. Check out our favorite German fare and festivities below, plus a little lagniappe.

Deutsches Haus

Oktoberfest returns at Deutsches Haus with traditional German food, music, and fun the second, third, and fourth weekends of October. Located on the banks of Bayou St. John, Deutsches Haus is the ideal spot for watching the sunset in the crisp fall air. Check the website regularly for specials, which often include German meatloaf, red cabbage, and brats.
