Göttingen's food scene is shaped by the student population: lots of cheap, decent options and a smaller but reliable handful of more ambitious places. North German classics — fresh bread, Wurst, asparagus in spring, kale and Bregenwurst in winter — sit alongside Vietnamese, Turkish, Italian and Indian restaurants. The market square hosts a weekly Wochenmarkt on Wednesdays and Saturdays that is good for bread, cheese and produce.
