Ochsenbraterei Tent: Oktoberfest’s Ultimate Destination for Roasted Ox (Spatenbräu-Festhalle)

Welcome my Non veg Oktoberfest fellows to the best meat serving tent of oktoberfest. Ochsenbraterei, Yes you will once you see this tent even for the first time. Ochsenbraterei started as an Ox rotisserie  1881 and has since become one of the largest Oktoberfest Beer tents that still serve the best Ox of oktoberfest. Their love for Ox will be seen before entering the tent, as you’ll see a big Ox Roasting high on the outside of the tent by some wooden people.

Seeing a whole ox being roasted was a big attraction at the time. Because of some technical problems, the ox roasters weren’t at Oktoberfest for a few years. But people wanted them back, so they returned. The people really missed their oxen! They serve about 90 oxen over the period of Oktoberfest. Out of them 90 seven whole oxen get roasted each day and they display the name and weight of each of the seven oxen cooked each day inside the tent.

Ochsenbraterei

The Ochsenbraterei, also called the Spatenbräu-Festhalle, is one of the biggest beer tents at Oktoberfest, with space for over 7,000 people(Hungry ox-eaters). It’s famous for serving rotisserie ox. Besides ox, they also serve typical Bavarian foods like ½ chickens, sausages, pork, duck, and more. They focus on using local, organic, and sustainable ingredients and care about animal welfare. They even have vegetarian and vegan meals. But they probably don’t label each potato!
