Passau Restaurants

Probably better known as a chocolate shop, Cafe Simon also offers basic cafe-style meals.

On a busy day in town, expect the cafe to be crowded with patrons browsing for Cafe Simon's famous confections or enjoying coffee and a light meal. There are tables and booths available for seating, and the dining area is bright and a little noisy. It's more open than cozy, but it's still comfortable.

Our lunch consisted of gulash soup, lebkase topped with a fried egg, bread, tea, and beer. Everything was delicous, and the service was excellent.

On the way out, we bought chocolates for later.

Favorite Dish: We just had the one meal, described above, and we were quite pleased. The soup was red and rich, a little spicy, and just right for a December day. The lebkase with the egg was perfect for someone who likes a little breakfast with their lunch. Good texture, seasoned nicely, very palatable.

A very nice place where we had a beer during our walk through Passau, this goes all the way through from Hollgasse 22, on the artsy street, to the beautiful Danube-side views on the other side. We sat on the patio with a cold Lowenbrau or 3 watching the river flow. They had a complete meal menu as well, of course.

Favorite Dish: Beer!

Now, I've visited many beergardens around the world, this one compares favourably with any.
Large, but not too large, shady on a warm day, good variety of food (enough vegetarian choices for Mrs B) and tasty fresh beer brewed nearby (pic #4). My two visits here have been in the summer, look forward to a winter, and indoor visit too.
Very happy to revisit here, could even consider living here!
Smaller beergarden close to the railway station, didn't notice any food on sale but a good stop for a beer,(pic#5)

Once home to the Peschl brewery, beer is now made elsewhere but definately a good place to visit. Terrace for good weather, interesting to watch the cruise ships loading for their sailing later in the day, indoors looks tempting too.
Anyway, food very tasty, Mrs B happy with the vegetarian choice me very contant with my wurst salad and helles beer.
Enjoyed our visit here.

We were directed to this restaurant by the owner of the hotel we were staying at, which was only a few metres away.

The Wirtshaus "The Green Tree" is located in one of the narrow cobble-lanes that run parallel to the Danube in Passau's old town. The decoration is rather rustically uninspiring, but it is pleasant to sit in one of the tables on the streets when the weather is nice.

The staff is very friendly but insufficient at busy times, so service can be rather slow.

Favorite Dish: The specialities of the restaurant are vegetarian dishes, but they also have fish and meat dishes. Skip desserts here and go somewhere else, as the choice is limited and the quality very low.

Located on the site of the Hacklberg brewery, this Wirsthaus is worth a visit. There is a huge beer garden, an outside patio, and an inside restaurant. The beer is great, and the menu does have authentic German dishes on it, but be prepared to be a meat eater! Although the menu was only in German, the waiters were able to explain the dishes in English without a problem.

Favorite Dish: Out of the dishes we had - my favourite was the "Bierbrat", which although sounds like a sausage is anything but. There were two large pieces of roasted pork in a dark gravy and it came with a large potato dumpling. The flavour was amazing and everything was cooked exactly right.
