Order “The Best of the Goose”, designed for a single serving.

Goose Season

The Best of the Goose remains on our menu from November 11th to December 30th.

You can also pre-order the Ganze Gans (whole goose) for 4-6 people to share. Both options are served with red cabbage, German style cooked kale, bread dumplings, goose sauce, poached pear and lingonberries.

In 2024, our Goose menu sold out early so we’re making sure to pre-order more goose this, but we also encourage you to get in early in November & December to avoid disappointmnet!

Who is St. Martin?

As Germany’s patron saint of the poor, there are two myths surrounding how Saint Martin became associated with the goose:
1. Out of humility, he hid in a barn to avoid being publicly ordained as a priest, but the noise of the geese he hid amongst gave away his location.
2. One of his sermons was interrupted by a flock of giggling geese.

Either way, goose is traditionally eaten on the 11th of November to commemorate Saint Martin, and then throughout the festive season.

Traditionally St. Martins Day was also the Deadline for payments. Since many people kept geese, the poultry were often used to pay the tax. There was usually a celebration on the deadline such as dancing, on this occasion it was a good idea to fight a goose. Today in large areas of Germany it is still celebrated.
