Speisekammer

2424 Lincoln Ave, Alameda, CA 94501
With a name this hard to pronounce it must be German. One glance at Speisekammer's menu confirms it. This Alameda restaurant serves traditional German fare like bratwurst with sauerkraut, potato pancakes with applesauce, pickled herring with sour cream, pickles, onions, and apples, wiener schnitzel, and roasted pork in beer sauce. Vegetarians need not worry as vegetarian options are available at Speisenkammer. So when you need some hearty food to take the edge of the San Francisco fog, Speisekammer restaurant and beer garden will rise to the challenge.
