Our sausages are made by a butcher called Fritz.

Fritz has been making sausages since we were kids so they are very good!

Herman Ze German | Gluten Free London - Kimi Eats Gluten Free

Food: Gluten free German sausages and fries (among other things)!

We stumbled on this charming little German restaurant while crossing through Soho from Leicester Square to Oxford Street and a vague recollection of it being mentioned on some gluten free groups made us want to stop and ask out of curiosity.

Both of these foods are rarely gluten free in UK restaurants so it’s somewhat different to usual GF options.

After looking at their allergen menu online {here}, I also discovered that there were other gluten free options for sides like coleslaw, carrot salad, potato salad as well as cheese and sauerkraut as choices of toppings.

We were just passing by, grabbing a quick bite, so we didn’t stay long, but I can imagine it would be a nice place to stop by for a drink as well (sadly no gluten free beer though!)

Herman Ze German, restaurant review - Telegraph

Recalling my last meal in a German restaurant, more than a dozen years ago, it seems wise to start with a binding pledge.

In this review of Herman Ze German, which stands next door to a Soho shop selling the most eye-opening male underwear (do not ask) on which your eyes may ever set, there will be no puerile references to: a) “the Hun”, “the Boche” or any other pejoratives of that ilk; b) “that” Fawlty Towers episode, nor any Germano-phobic puns contained therein; or c) anything else that could conceivably distress the German people or the German Ambassador to the Court of St James.

If he seemed exhausted, there were various explanations for that (apart from anything, the date was September 13, 2001, and like every other diplomat on earth Herr von Ploetz had been starved of sleep for the two previous nights).

“As my grandmother always said,” observed my friend as he took in the neon-lit witticisms on the walls, “the German sense of humour is nothing to laugh about.”

Curiously, these were not available, so we lingered over glasses of German wheat beer, and fell to chatting with a trio of film producers, who explained that they cut costs by eschewing an office and wandering from Wi-Fi enabled coffee shops to restaurants like this one – which they praised to the skies.

Herman ze German - Wikipedia

Grace Dent reviews Herman Ze German | London Evening Standard

I mention Herman Ze German as recently my editor thought it would be rather fun to send me to the new branch on Charlotte Street.

I have stared curiously through the windows of Herman Ze German’s Old Compton Street branch on several occasions, thinking that it’s a peculiar mind who, with all of culinary Soho at their disposal, winds up in a German theme café eating bockwurst and curry sauce out of the sort of tin bowl we used to feed our Alsatian, Cilla.

One of the greatest ironies about my trip to Herman’s Charlotte Street branch is that while waiting for my chilli beef currywurst I could see into Barnyard over the road.

Not only is Barnyard a fantastic place to eat sausage rolls and drink cider, but it was just early enough to have got a walk-in.

Herman ze German Villiers | Restaurants in Charing Cross, London

This mini-chain specialising in authentic German sausages certainly boasts a pretty good reputation - we gave the Soho branch a glowing review, and all three venues, including this Villiers Street branch, are usually pretty busy.

Most people are heading down for the wurst, brought in from the Black Forest where they're made by a butcher called Fritz - it could hardly get more German.

There are three types available: a bockwurst (a smoked pork sausage), a bratwurst (a minced pork and veal combo) and a chilli beef sausage, made with pork, beef and a hit of chilli.

You can order them in a roll or with a salad, and you can jazz them up with things like mustard, jalapenos, crispy onions, sauerkraut, cheese and curry sauce.

Schnitzels, veggie options and sides of fries, potato salad and coleslaw also feature.
