Hahndorf Brezelhaus
[WINE + DINE]

On the bustling Main Street in Hahndorf, a familiar café space has begun an exciting new chapter. Say hello to Hahndorf Brezelhaus – a fresh take on a spot long loved by locals.

Many will remember the cosy café that once lived here as the much-loved Hahndorf Kaffeehaus. Rather than start from scratch, the team behind Brezelhaus set out to honour that legacy – keeping the welcoming spirit, great coffee, and relaxed atmosphere the community cherished.

What’s new? Think modern café energy with a delicious German twist. Freshly baked brezels (pretzels) are the star of the show, joined by flaky pastries, hearty house-made rolls and café classics inspired by Hahndorf’s European roots. You’ll also find a refined à la carte breakfast and lunch menu designed to satisfy every craving, from small bites to more substantial plates.

Whether you’re stopping by for a takeaway coffee, settling in for a long brunch or organising catering for your next Adelaide Hills gathering, Brezelhaus blends tradition and contemporary café culture with effortless charm, and plenty of flavour.

The German Arms Hotel
[WINE + DINE]

In the heart of Hahndorf, few venues are as iconic as the German Arms Hotel. A long-time favourite for locals and visitors alike, this historic pub blends old-world charm with the lively atmosphere of a modern Adelaide Hills gathering spot.

While its rustic character and heritage remain proudly intact, the German Arms has evolved into one of the state’s standout contemporary pubs. Inside, you’ll find welcoming hospitality, a vibrant bar and a menu that celebrates both tradition and local flavour.

Yes, the classics are here – think golden schnitzels and freshly baked pretzels – but the kitchen goes well beyond German staples. Expect a generous mix of contemporary Australian pub favourites, daily specials and dishes crafted with seasonal produce sourced from around the Adelaide Hills.

Behind the bar, the drinks list is just as impressive. Bavarian beers, crisp pilsners and wheat brews sit comfortably alongside boutique craft beers, ciders, and spirits from regional producers. And with the world-class wines of the Adelaide Hills on the doorstep, the wine list is exactly what you’d hope for.

It’s heritage, hospitality, and great pub fare – done right.
