The Harz is known for its game and trout, which are prepared and served in a multitude of ways. And the region's cheese has even made a name for itself outside of Germany. Popular pick-me-ups include locally made liqueurs such as Harzer Grubenlicht (Harz mining lamp), Harz-Hexe (Harz witch) and Walpurgistropfen (Walpurgis night drop). Recommended establishments in and around Goslar include Gosequell in the old town with its focus on regional fare, Aubergine and its award-winning mediterranean cuisine, and Ristorante Da Enzo, which has an exciting Sicilian menu.Gosequell restaurant in the old town
The building was home to a chefs' guildhouse as far back as 1500, serving food and drinks and acting as a medieval takeaway. Today, you can still enjoy a draught Gose, the original Harz beer. The excellent regional cuisine features game specialities, lamb, pork and beef steaks and huge Harz trout. Gosequell's kitchen uses mainly organic products sourced from the local area.Aubergine
