Especially in the asparagus season, you can get wonderful dishes here that you don't usually know. But the restaurants in Großburgwedel also have a lot to offer when it comes to international cuisine. Everything you want can be found here. A very personal and therefore subjective recommendation is the Toscana restaurant not far to the west of the pedestrian zone. It's not that easy to find because it's in a back yard. It is characterized by a very nice ambience and very tasty food.

nightlife

• It is known nationwide Chapeau Claque, a small discotheque at the end of the pedestrian zone and on the road to the north. There is always a mood here, so that you can celebrate nicely.
  • EDIT: The Chapeu Claque no longer exists.
• If you like it quieter, go to "Anno", actually "Anno Dazumal" on the road to the autobahn. It is a quaint little pub where you can also eat good and rustic food that has a long tradition.
• The "Schateke" is not that easy to find. It is located a little north of the pedestrian zone in the street: On the Amtshof. It calls itself a nostalgia bar, but the audience here is often younger than it was in the old days. You can eat here too. The quaint pub is quite large, but still quite full, especially on weekends.
• If you want to hit the big slopes, you have to go to Hanover. However, the connections to Hanover are also quite bad on the weekends. Here you often do it in such a way that you leave as late as possible and then come back home with the first train.
