"Schmankerl" rare specialities buffet
Explanation:
I think we can leave "Schmankerl" and add the explanation but you can just go with "rare specialites" too

neutral  Kim Metzger: But would your average bloke in London know what Leckerbissen are? / But unlike English monolingual, a translation is needed here.

agree  BrigitteHilgner: In food, "Schmankerl" is anything which tastes nice. Since specialities are explicitely mentioned, I would go for this expression. A "Schmankerl" can also be a delightful book, a great theatre performance, a lovely song - something pleasant.

snack bar


Explanation:
The "Stand" makes me think it's not a buffet in the usual sense, but rather a snack bar

The \"zahlreiche Spezialitäten vom üppig sortier*t*en\" will explain that you don\'t just get peanuts and sandwhiches/hamburgers there :-)

agree  Cilian O'Tuama: and if that doesn't sound fancy enough, then maybe 'gourmet snack bar' o.ä.

neutral  Nick Somers (X): You think so? To me a snack bar is a funky restaurant http://www.swarthmore.edu/Admin/sharples/tarble.html *** Maybe. I'll go neutral, but I'm still iffy. Snack table = buffet in my book
1 hr
  -> I'm thinking of a stand/booth at a fair, for instance, where the "bar" would be a counter or table.

No, it is not


Explanation:
This is most likely a booth serving Bavarian specialties on the street, not a buffet, which is usually in a restaurant. Schmankerl means local delicacies or specialties, and the stand is a booth, somewhat like a hot dog stand or Würstelbude.

neutral  Nick Somers (X): Sorry but from the description it sounds like it's part of something else: es werden Gerichte angeboten *und* es gibt den Stand. Üppig sortiert for a street stand? Possible but incongruous.
