German Village Restaurants

German Village is one of the most charming neighborhoods in Columbus. Just blocks away from downtown, its tree-lined brick streets and lovingly preserved mid-19th-century architecture give visitors the feeling they’ve traveled back to a simpler time. The buildings are quaint — none over three stories tall — and they house art galleries, bookshops, breweries and bakeries. German Village also boasts a variety of restaurants, but your best bet is to seek out the German fare. Must haves? The legendary Bahama Mama Sandwich. It’s a hickory smoked sausage nestled in a split-top bun. If you’ve got room for dessert, try a giant, overstuffed cream puff on for size. That’s a lot of calories, you say? A leisurely post-meal stroll through German Village cures all.
