Review: Oktoberfest at Ernst Biergarten

Ernst Biergarten, nestled within the 25hours Hotel One Central, is the place to be this Oktoberfest season, transforming Dubai into a little slice of Bavaria. As you step inside, you’re greeted by a lively atmosphere that captures the spirit of this iconic festival. The interiors are a blend of rustic charm and modern flair, featuring wooden benches, and colourful bunting that set the stage for an authentic experience.

This year’s Oktoberfest at Ernst promises an authentic Bavarian experience, featuring a stellar line-up of live bands flown in from Germany. With its lively atmosphere, delectable German delicacies, and an impressive selection of hops, it’s the perfect spot to don your dirndl or lederhosen and celebrate this beloved festival in style.

The highlights

At Ernst, the menu is a jubilant tribute to German culinary traditions, sure to have diners exclaiming “Prost!” with every delectable bite. The Wurst trio vom kalb presents an enticing assortment of veal sausage bites, featuring bratwurst, Nuremberg sausage, and a hearty meatloaf. This dish is thoughtfully accompanied by a rich curry sauce, alongside sweet and hot mustard.

For those seeking something equally satisfying, the Hähnchenschnitzel delivers a crispy breaded chicken escalope, perfectly paired with golden French fries and savoury beef gravy. Meanwhile, the Nürnberger Rostbratwürstchen offers a more authentic touch, showcasing veal Nuremberg sausages served with tangy sauerkraut, mashed potatoes, and generous portions of beef gravy and mustard—a dish that embodies the spirit of comfort food.

Throughout the evening, we savoured specially brewed hops, which whisked us away to the lively halls of Munich with its rich flavour and smooth finish. The atmosphere was further enlivened by live entertainment; traditional German music filled the air as guests clinked their steins and danced merrily, making it a night to remember.
