Garmisch-Partenkirchen Restaurants

This was a nice place to eat – it was not in the heart of the tourist area so it was a nice relaxing meal. We walked from our hotel and it took about 20 minutes to get there, but it wasn’t a bad walk since there were sidewalks and lots to look at along the way.

We sat on their porch at long benched tables. Our server was so friendly and pleasant – I don’t think she stopped smiling! Her service was quick, efficient, and pleasant. The food – German cuisine – was delicious, as was the wine and beer.

The restaurant also has rooms for those wanting to stay overnight on that side of town. We didn’t see the rooms, but would be willing to try them based on the restaurant service.
We will definitely be eating here on our next visit to GA-P!

We had dinner here during our first stay in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. It was a busy Saturday night and we were able to get a table without reservations (although we later saw people waiting in line for a table).

The food was very good – German cuisine – and the service was fast and friendly. We sat outside, which was very nice on a nice fall evening – it got a little chilly during our time there but the restaurant anticipated that and had gas heaters going.

I definitely would recommend getting reservations – we had trouble finding a place to eat that night and fortunately Zum Wildschütz had room for us, but I think it was only because we had come earlier in the night.

Wow! Lunch at 1,800m. Or 6,000 ft (plus a bit) for us Brits. Maybe this should be under “off the beaten track” as it’s a 3.5 hour walk from Elmau, and Elmau is a bit south of town. Anyway, here it is.

I had the lamb stew with a potato dumpling - the lamb supplied from the owner’s brother’s local farm. Really delicious. A 0.5l of Mittenwald helles along with it really helped me recover from the climb. My better half had the Swiss wurtsalat - one of her favourites - and she loved hers too.

After lunch we visited the “palace” and then came back for a coffee and cake. Both also delicious.

Service was quick - except for the coffees which involved queuing. I’m not sure about prices as I didn’t pay, but from what I remember from the menu they seemed reasonable.

It was busy on a sunny Sunday afternoon in September, but people seemed to move on as soon as they’d finished eating - heading down, heading up, or to take the palace tour. We had no problems getting a table either time.

Whilst the food is good, it’s the views which make it truly magnificent.

Favorite Dish: My lamb stew.

Although Nordsee is a chain with eateries in several countries, I found the food to be excellent both in quality and price. They specialise in seafood but there are numerous salad, rice, vegetarian options available. This restaurant would be ideal for families as the prices are in the lower range. It is often full but takeaway food is available.

Favorite Dish: The smoked salmon rolls were only a few Euro, cheaper than we can buy this in Australia. I would have trouble selecting 1 favorite dish as everything I have eaten here has been great.

We arrived in Garmisch on a Sunday, so everything was closed and we had no food to feed ourselves, so we decided to go and enjoy some local cuisine. We found the Goldene Engel just around the corner from where we stayed and I just loved the place from the moment I set eyes on it.
Prices for what we enjoyed:
Small beer Euro 2.00
Orangejuice Euro 2.50
Schweinehaxe Euro 12.80
Duck with red cabbage 12.80
Salad plate Euro 4.50

Favorite Dish: Schweine haxe with sauerkraut. Nowhere else in the world do they do the schweinehaxe like they do it in Bavaria!

Situated on the Zugspitze, I loved eating at this place. Very rusty, but the food is of good quality and very tasty. I had the leberknodel suppe and my friend had a meatball with boiled potatoes. It was rather cold up on the mountain (lol it is the Alps!) but after lunch I was ready to explore the mountain further.

I found this place more or less accidentally but since then, I go there again and again. As you walk to that restaurant you will see a nice house which is probably a couple of hundreds of years old. As you enter the restaurant, you will find a very nice styled, classical, high class restaurant. The fine difference is that you really feel sort of a family atmosphere which is no surprise because, to my knowledge, this is a real family business for decades. Attention is paid to perfect service and really, really good food - just awesome. The nice thing is, that the menu keeps changing so there is always a new surprise waiting. Be careful, because if you stay to long, you feel so much home that you don't want to leave anymore :-). The nice ambiance matches the design and the food also ... yummy, yummy.

Favorite Dish: My favorite dish is the "Husar Teller" ... a nice combination of different kinds of meet with vegetables and potatoes. It sounds easy and standard but it just tastes better than anywhere else ... very enjoyable. My wife tends to eat the mussels. I really recommend the three-soup starter ... a very delicious combination of three different kinds of soup (Süppchen-Trio). One time, I did eat the "Bunter Fischteller" (colorful fish plate) which is now a big competition to the Husaren-Teller.

Many restaurants were closed on Monday evening, so after walking about 20 minutes in the cold, we reluctantly went into what looked like a neighborhood bar. The combination of aromas and the staff's greeting told us that we were in for something good. We were NOT disappointed! The waiter was very friendly and made sure that we were not wanting for anything. We couldn't find anybody who ate there so that we could compare notes. I'm not sure why, but based on our evening, I would highly recommend it, especially if you're in need of a diversion from the sausage and potato and kraut dinners. Only sorry that our schedule did not allow for a return visit.

Favorite Dish: I had the frutte de marre (seafood and pasta), my wife had a caprese-pasta dish, my sis-in-law had basic spaghetti & meatballs. We all sampled each other's. All were great. A couple of points to note: prices are a la carte so the salad, which was very simple but very crisp, cold and fresh, was extra. In most restaurants, asking for water will get you a bottle (gass or no gass) that is usually more expensive than the wine. As to the wine, I prefer a glass of hearty working-class chianti with pasta, and that is what I got. My taste is simple and unsophisticated so I was quite satisfied with a generous 2 euro glass. A true conniseur might be disappointed although they probably had more top-shelf choices by the bottle. Dessert? are you kidding?!?!? I wish that I'd worn my "buffet pants" with the stretch waistband. My only redemption was the 20 minute walk back to the lodge. aah....
