Fodor's Expert Review Rattenfängerhaus

This brilliant example of Weser Renaissance architecture is Hamelin's most famous building, where the Pied Piper supposedly stayed during his rat-extermination assignment (it wasn't actually built until centuries after his supposed exploits). "Rats" are all over the menu, from the "rat-killer liqueur" to a "rat-tail flambé," but don't be put off by the names: the traditional dishes are excellent.
