A giant slice of Himmel on the shores of the lake. If you're in Tegernsee, you MUST visit the Braustuberl. Not only do they serve endless half-liters of the excellent local beer, but the vibe is utterly, unmistakably Bavarian.
The biergarten is huge, with dozens upon dozens of picnic-style tables that are expected to be shared with locals and tourists alike. Don't be shy -- everyone's here for the same reason, to enjoy the gorgeous view of Lake Tegernsee and the outstanding menu items.
I ordered the schweinhaxe because, well, it's Bavaria. It was huge, tender, and delicious, and served with a decent side of potato salad. My tablemates ordered a pretzel which was clearly freshly baked and had all the classic trimmings. And all of us, of course, drank a few liters of Tegernseer Helle. And the prices are quite reasonable -- my dinner and drinks came to less than 20 euro.
Service is quick and efficient, even when the restaurant is busy. Servers speak enough English to get the job done, and are friendly in that efficient way that Germans are known for, all while wearing the lederhosen that the tourists like me expect them to be wearing.
A great stop for the absolute classic Bavarian experience.
