Kurt and Vreny's Restaurant & Biergarten is an upscale, family-owned restaurant in northeastern Atlanta. Though housed in a business park, the restaurant mysteriously manages to resemble a farmhouse kitchen in a pastoral farm, complete with a canopied biergarten and garden gazebo. The menu offers home-style German fare, including schnitzels, wursts and sauerbraten. Steak and lobster are on the menu, but dishes like zuercher kalbsgeschnetzeltes, or veal in a mushroom-cream sauce provide a taste of genuine German cuisine. Enjoy with a bottle of German wine and beer.
