Swan Market

"Bauernwurst (farmer sausage) is a coarse-ground pork sausage. Note that these sausages are served heated, but not pan-browned or grilled. With sausages this good, the taste of the sausage itself is showcased."
Bruce Bilmes and Susan Boyle






"A basket of good, chewy, earthy German rye breads is presented when you sit down."
Bruce Bilmes and Susan Boyle



"The fresh bratwurst is gentle and easy to love."
Bruce Bilmes and Susan Boyle



"Peruse the selection of cold cuts at the front counter. They carry kaiserfleisch, beerschinken, yachtwurst, gelbwurst, zugenwurst, both sour and regular head cheese... Which is which? Your guess is as good as ours."
Bruce Bilmes and Susan Boyle



"Giant loaves of German-style bread are available to take home."
Bruce Bilmes and Susan Boyle



"There's a small collection of German sauces, pickles, and groceries for sale, but meat is the thing."
Bruce Bilmes and Susan Boyle



"The menu hangs above the meat counter. Click on the picture for a readable view."
Bruce Bilmes and Susan Boyle



"The Swan is casual in the extreme; just a few tables in front of the meat counter."
Bruce Bilmes and Susan Boyle



"The Swan Market is a lunchtime treat, and bargain, in Rochester."
Bruce Bilmes and Susan Boyle
