HANA JAPANESE EATERY Located near Bell and Cave Creek Roads, Edelweiss Biergarten offers an authentic taste of Central Europe with warm hospitality, a welcoming beer garden atmosphere, and hearty fare rooted in tradition. Known for its German classics and Bavarian charm, the restaurant is expanding its culinary embrace with the return of a customer favorite: Chicken Paprikash. A beloved staple of Hungarian cuisine, Chicken Paprikash is comfort food at its finest. Tender chicken is simmered slowly in a rich, paprika-infused sauce and served over delicate spätzle. With its deep flavor and soul-warming aroma, it’s the kind of meal that evokes memories of home, heritage, and family gatherings. At Edelweiss, every plate tells a story, and the revival of Chicken Paprikash is a testament to the restaurant’s commitment to tradition, comfort, and community. Whether you’re on the hunt for classic schnitzels, brats, or big pretzels, or a taste of home cooked pork and beef stew (Pörkölt) or hackbraten (flavorful meatloaf served with mashed potatoes and cabbage) there’s always something nostalgic and delicious waiting for you at Edelweiss Biergarten. Of course, a huge menu of classic German beers is available. Take a Das Boot challenge and finish a 32-ounce pour of your favorite style, then dance it off to live music out in the beer garden.
