wiesenstrasse 5, 38102 braunschweig - 0531 337271 (http://vierlinden.de/star...) is a somewhat boheme restaurant/ bar, in keeping with its neighborhood ãstliches ringgebiet with a very mixed local crowd. nice and laid-back atmosphere and a kitchen that stays open till past midnight make this venue a hidden gem.

Tiziano
Arguably some of the best Italian ice creams north of the Alps can be found at Tiziano (http://www.eiscafetiziano.de/). They serve their home-made ice cream at three parlors in Braunschweig. Their branch at Schlossarkaden also serves Italian food and wine.

Very popular with the nightlife crowd is Asian eatery Kim-Kim (http://vietanh.vi.funpic....). Located on the party mile next to club Schwanensee and usually packed on the weekends, they serve their meals to go.
Pizza Room
If you can, please visit or order from Brunswick's Pizza Room Sophienstr. 12, 38118 Braunschweig - 0531/22 56 131 (http://www.pizza-room-bs.de/). This pizza parlor consists of only one room hence the name, in which the owner and chef toils away while making pizzas to order or to go. Recommended: Pizza Montaverde.
Zum Gemütlichen Conny
A definite Brunswick original is Zum Gemütlichen Conny Diesterwegstrasse 1, 38114 Braunschweig - 0531 54150. In the glorious days when local soccer club Eintracht Braunschweig reigned supreme over the Bundesliga, this was the hangout for players and fans alike back in the day. Dubbed Hähnchen-Conny, their succulent roasted chicken is prepared after a secret family recipe now in the second generation. To-go phone ahead for pick-up or traditionally served with home-made potatoe salad don't dare ask for French fries!. Despite its status as a dyed in the wool Brunswick original, it is one of the few places in Braunschweig where Härke, a rather bitter beer from neighboring Peine, is served.
