Nürnberg/Nuremberg is one of the major cities in Bavaria. Been to this city a handful of times yet I can’t say that I know it well…I probably won’t but its charm is something that I always want to revisit.
Nürnberg’s history extends as far as the 11th century becoming an important key trade route as it expanded. Its being situated on the Pegnitz river and the Rhine–Main–Danube Canal and numerous highways, railways, and a waterway has contributed to its rising importance for trade with Eastern Europe through its developing years.

For now, I’m not taking you to sightsee the features of Nürnberg, I’m taking you to the world’s first restaurant to offer automated ordering service – where you order food via a touchscreen monitor and where waiters don’t serve your food; it comes directly on your table…Not much like a conveyor belt in running sushi restaurants but from a spiral rail 15-feet high up.
S’ Baggers. Though situated far from the city proper, reservations are easily filled-up. There’s a bus whizzing by mom-in-law’s place to s’Baggers so we took it instead of going by car. I had time to take more drive by shots then. teehee. Since we don’t have a reservation we were taken to the back garden, inspired by Indian tepees.
The first things you’ll notice at the dining area are surely the spiral rails and fur rugs hanging on bamboo poles. The latter giving the kids much curiosity to ask me questions while mom-in-law browse on the menu. The menu, as said, is listed down on a touchscreen monitor. There are two on each table for cases that guests share a table… Each seat gets a number and a card. An attendant – a nice one at that, (see above photo) will show you how things go.
I was the last to order from a group of seven. We first got our drinks, one of the bottles jumped off from the rail…which adds a lot of “ooohh” from the kids and other diners. The menu was comprehensively listed and categorized per preference; meat, fish, vegetarian and salads, appetizers, desserts, kids’ menu, dips and drinks. Oh, there’s take-home too!
You simply press on the number of your orders, put in your seat number and key-in your card.
So the food slides down to the table via a metal rail directly coming from the kitchen – upstairs. Drinks are in a tumbler while food are in hotpots secured by plastic holders and tight rubber bands. They were truly hot, got my thumb and pointing finger numb until the next day for touching the grip with bare hands. lol. For this post I’m showing you what I had, others; I’ll be posting on my food blog.

The restaurant menu is written in German slang (I think) so it took me longer to pick something out. What I had is a cutlet of pork with grilled pineapple, ham and cheese…Sort of Cordon blue sans the breadcrumbs and served separately with my favorite grilled fruit on top . 😉
S’Baggers dedicate their meals to being healthy, less of preservatives and additives… for my meal they achieved a fusion of flavors along with the salad and black grape on the side. I ordered catsup for a dip (see that kiwi? it’s covering the catsup…) but the hubby took it for his spare ribs. I got his blackberry jam instead and it totally added flavor to my already yummy plate.
This place is highly recommended.

Tuesday Travels visiting! My share this week is a story of THREE STARVING INDIVIDUALS HITTING THE the Asian Buffet. Lol. I hope you can come and visit me, too! 🙂
wow!!! ang ganda naman dyan!!! 🙂 ang galing mo kumuha ng photos…tips naman dyan 😀
we have been to nürnberg once but haven’t heard about this restaurant. i think it is time for another visit and explore the city more. i did find it very interesting when we visited the museum. when we went there in 2009, it was a mini-pilgrimage with the filipino catholic community so we only got to see the city for a few house. now that i know about this restaurant and one of hubby’s friends also lives there, i think it will be worth another visit… next time, longer… 😀
i wish i can visit this place someday, G. it’s so unique! …and i love the idea that they aim to serve food that are healthy and with less preservatives!
appreciate much your sharing this over at Food Friday, sis
enjoy the rest of the week! 🙂
This is so cool. I’d like to see that style of resto here. The pork cutlet dish looks delicious!
That looks very healthy dish and yummy.
Filipino Delicacies

here is my entry
Lovely place and a very healthy looking food! What a great way to spend the day 🙂
That looks delicious…I’d definitely eat that in an instant 🙂
I was reading this again and just realized na black grape pala yung nasa salad. Akala ko olives. Looks yummy still.
Commenting again for Food Friday.
wow, that’s very interesting restaurant, kakaiba…baka mapa-wow at oohhh din ako sa bilib! hehehe, ang galing. your order looks really delicious. visiting super late from last week’s FF, hope you can visit me back. thanks and have a great week. 🙂
Wish I could also dine in a restaurant like this 🙂
Cool! A resto with no waiter? How I wish I could dine there someday 🙂
Cool! A resto with no waiter? I wish I could dine there someday 🙂
If only I can travel to this places… Hehe. And I wanna try their food too! But I might got scared with the hanging fur or whatever. Lol.
Wish I could visit this place soon. It reminds me of the restaurants in Japan wherein the dishes are in a rotating device.
A very unique place indeed!
You made me homesick for Germany. 🙂
I have to check out more of your posts, have you been to Hamburg? I lived there 16 years! Still have a flat there when we do our visits for school holidays.
Ang sosyal naman ng resto na yan! hope to experience sa ganyan na resto!:)
I wonder what will happen if a resto without a waiter in the Philippines is introduced! Hehe!
Looks like you all had a good time!
One unique restaurant! From ordering and getting your food from that spiral is definitely an experience.
Love the photos! 🙂 The rug really caught my attention, but I’m more fascinated with the concept 🙂
Cool place to visit, I wish I can go there too in the future 🙂 Love the foods too… 🙂
