Bräustüberl Garmisch

Fantastic Bavarian restaurant tucked a bit away from the main street by the alte Kirche. They were one of the few places that wasn't completely booked during our stay so we gave it a shot. The service was so friendly as soon as we walked in and sat us at the Stammtisch near the bar. We got a couple of drinks to start (a Fest Bier for me and a Riesling for my date), which were both great. We enjoyed them while soaking in the traditional German restaurant atmosphere (lots of neat decoration!) and generally enjoying the vibe. After some time, I opted for the Zillertaler schnitzel for my main and my date got the Jägerschnitzel. The Zillertaler essentially comes with a side of Bergkäse (delicious cheese) and the Jäger with a side of mushroom sauce. The schnitzels were cooked perfectly and both sauces were incredible. I got an Ofenkartoffel (baked potato) as my side, which very cutely came in a big foil bird and my date got Bratkartoffeln, which were also great. We ate every bite, and although we were stuffed afterward, we decided to go for the Kaiserschmarrn since it was on the menu. It surprisingly came with bits of blueberries and pineapple on it, which is totally not traditional, but I actually kind of liked it. Overall, I was impressed with the portion sizes for the price and the quality of the dishes. I thoroughly enjoyed our dinner and am excited to check out the other Bavarian establishments in the area!

My wife and I visited here to try a traditional Bavarian meal. We were not disappointed. The food was excellent. We shared a pork knuckle as it was a large joint and came with mustard, horseradish sauce, potato dumpling and small salad. See photo. All the menus are in German, no English. So Google Translate was earning its money. For Dessert we had the Kaiserschmarrn. Totally different but delicious. The staff were helpful and friendly but spoke little English. The prices were also more than reasonable. If you want somewhere that serves great food and isn't full of tourists try here. Highly recommended!

The food was great. The portions are ENORMOUS! We ordered little salad for starter, wasn’t little. And you would expect just plain boring salad, but no. It had radish, grapes, raspberries, blueberries, lettuce mix and dressing was really really nice. I ordered kids portion for schnitzel… didn’t finish. We ordered also deer goulash, duck, goose. Everything was delicious..

Perfect. Waiters speak english and were very happy to help us understand the menu and pick what we wanted. Food was great and the portions were huge, but well balanced (meat / potatoes / salad / dressing) . Prices are very good. Totally recommend.

Traditional Bavarian atmosphere! Definitely a place to visit. The staff were very caring! Food delicious and the beer König Ludwig was great! We went on Sunday around 18 and it was getting quite full.

Irek, our waiter made our dining experience most enjoyable! We dined in a cozy and charming room. Food was well prepared, schnitzel that we'd ordered was a generous size, although the ribs were a tad dry and didn't have much meat. The beers were great! Highly recommend to anyone visiting the area!

Fabulous place to eat. Food is amazing. Service is very good. We loved it so much we ate here 3 times during our time in Garmisch-Partenkirchen.

Honestly, I would prefer not to give a review at all rather than leave a bad review, but I was so disappointed with my experience. Our booking was at 8, we sat down and we were given German menus with only Google translate to help us figure out what to order. The waitress spoke little to no English and was no help there. But so far, this was not enough to upset me, after all I thought, we were the foreigners here. Not long after placing our order, we received our first course of goulash soup, which was not bad, too hot, but not terrible. It was at this point I noticed that the restaurant had emptied out and we were the last ones there. It then occurred to me as they started cleaning tables around us while we still ate, that these people probably want to close up and we were the ones keeping them here. Our main course arrived and even though I ordered the beef loin from the recommended menu, the beef was dry and over cooked and the vegetables were bland (and I suspect frozen bought...). The potatoes were ok and I didn't even touch the cold salad on the plate. I couldn't finish the plate (I'm not one to leave food in my plate even when it's bad) but I felt so unwelcomed, once my husband was finished with his meal, we just got up paid the bill at the door and left.
