The Rotkraut (red cabbage) and Erdäpfelknödel (potato dumplings) are vegan and can also be ordered separately with other dishes.

The whole Martini-Gansl for the table

For a group there is the whole Martini-Gansl: 4.6 kg raw weight, roasted until crisp, with chestnuts and gravy. You choose the sides to go with it.

If someone at the table does not eat goose, they order from the regular menu, for example a Wiener Schnitzel made with veal or something vegan.
