La Brasserie, a Davie Street favourite for Franco-German comfort food, will be celebrating its first anniversary in October. Paying homage to their German roots, owners Michael and Stephen Wiese will be offering up three days of special new Oktoberfest menu items, leading up to a Bavarian birthday blowout on Sunday October 4.

From Thursday October 1 to Saturday October 3, (in addition to their regular menu) La Brasserie will be offering a special Oktoberfest menu that will include three different varieties of Schnitzel ($18), Maultaschen ($17) – a German ravioli filled with spinach, beef and pork – as well as their near-famous Bratwurst ($15) and Roast Suckling Pig ($18). In true Oktoberfest style, one-litre steins of Konig Ludwig will be available for $10 to wash it all down.

The birthday weekend will culminate with an Oktoberfest party on Sunday night from 7 pm to midnight – open to anyone and everyone who has helped make La Brasserie’s first year a success (or anyone who just wants a great Oktoberfest party). Tables will be cleared, kegs will be tapped and lederhosen will be donned. Guests will receive a complimentary birthday beer and complimentary bratwurst and suckling pig sandwiches will be served.
