Having seen St Nicholas Russian Orthodox Cathedral, it's time to have a rest at this restaurant. Zum Kaiser offers its visitors to degust German cuisine. Nicely cooked pork hock, schnitzels and german sausages may be what you need. Tasty Brezeln and good apple strudels are the tastiest dishes. Most likely, you'll come back to this place later to taste delicious wheat beer, wine or draft beer.
The cosy atmosphere of this spot makes customers feel relaxed and have a nice time. 4.5 is what this restaurant got from the Google rating system.

We booked through TheFork, but there was no-one to show us to our table, or even point us in the direction of which dining area we were to be seated. It took about 15 minutes of meandering around, until eventually we spotted a sign on a table in the large dining hall with my name on it. Having sorted that out, we then had to join a long queue to place our order - and that took about 45 minutes! It took another 45 minutes, and plenty of pleading and cajoling to wait staff before our food eventually arrived. To put all this in context: we arrived at 7.30pm, and it wasn’t until 9.15pm, or almost two hours later, before we finally got to eat! Not great.
The dining hall where we ended up, was crowded and noisy. A guy called Andrew was belting out German folk tunes on an accordion. And what a ball of energy he was, hardly stopping to draw breath and playing continuously for the two and a half hours that we were there. This made for a spirited atmosphere, with lots of dancing, laughter and music. That’s all good and well though, as long as quick service isn’t your priority!
The food itself though, when it did arrive, was excellent. Large portions of hearty German fare and good value for money too, especially after our $20 TheFork discount was subtracted.
Staff remained pleasant and friendly, despite obviously being under some considerable pressure due to the sheer volume of guests.
The German Club and its Zum Kaiser restaurant, have a comfy, warm and homely ambience. It’s a fun, busy and lively place, but if it’s just a meal you’re after, without all the frivolity, and you aren’t in the mood for an endurance test, I suggest that you avoid it on a weekend.
