An authentic German dining experience with generally excellent food.
Highlights:
• Traditional German Pretzel (MUST TRY)
• Pork Knuckle
• Bratwurst & Debreziner Sausages
• Sauerkraut
Dessert Highlights:
• Apple Strudel
Cons:
The extremely limited vegetable options contributed to a rather meat-heavy meal that did not offer a particularly palette-cleansing or refreshing experience.
Located on Cavill Avenue, this German restaurant was mostly filled with tourists. It was quite a large dine in area so no problems with finding a table. Service was pretty good and they’re efficient in seating and serving people.
I had a bit of an appetite so decided on a Bavarian Haus Teller. It’s a combination of a few classic German fare such as bratwurst, knackwurst, kasseler, and schnitzel. The sausages were quite nice and you get three on the plate. The kasseler is a big chunk of pork loin and it’s quite delicious. My favourite was the schnitzel being crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside. The accompanying sauerkraut is a good foil to the richness of the meat. The mashed potato does taste a bit like packet potato as there was no potato chunks in it at all and too smooth.
Overall a nice meal.
We had the Bavarian Haus Teller which came with sausages, schnitzel, kasseler, sauerkraut and mashed potato. Another dining partner had the same but substituted chips and coleslaw for the sides. I had the crispy pork knuckle and my 3.5 year old had the knackwurst sausage with chips. We were all very happy with our meals, the portions were generous. Sausages were very tasty. Service was good, food came out quickly. Bier was very nice. We will come here again!
First impression - wow! It’s definitely authentic, especially in a place where it’s filled with tourist traps. Food isn’t too expensive and the plates are really big!
Faves: schnitzel, sausages, mashed potato, ham.
I heard the beer is great too but I don’t drink so I can’t rate it.
Great friendly service! Definitely great ambience & interior, additionally the servers were all wearing traditional German attire (correct me if I’m wrong) which matched the wooden interior design and other details.
Very traditional Germany food !!I love all the food we had. Sausages are very yummy!! Staffs are friendly and nice. Next time I will try beers with food.
Walk in to this hidden gem thinking for a good quality German beer. Old European style pub nicely maintained & clean. Staff attentive & few quality German beers on tap including Erdinger.Small menu but really good quality meal. We ordered the pretzel which was crusty outside & softer texture inside was perfect. Simple but nicely presented. Ordered the sausages which was really a gourmet produce. Very juicy succulent sausage on a bed of home made mash. Normally I am not a big fan of sauerkraut but here it was not over powering. Perfectly cuts the fattiness of the sausage. Overall delightful experience. Staff said they running 35+ years there & always maintained the quality. Definitely a must try! Specially compared to dirty backpacker style loud pubs around. Overall I would give 4.3*
I've been there more than 10times, everyone of my family members love it! This has been a choice of restaurant that for us, do not need any further consideration and discussion, and all of us agree to go!
We were heading to Mt Tamborine for hiking (highly recommend it) when we got a bit hungry 😋 This was the only place nearby so gave it a shot. The place is extremely expensive. We had the pierogis (potato and cheese) which came with pickled cabbage. They were yummy 🤤
So much food and so good! Pork knuckle was amazing, crumbed mushrooms were great, mashed potato was superb. Staff were lovely and atmosphere was very cool.... very German!
The atmosphere is good. The service is so-so. They give you a menu and pencil. You write down what you wanna eat. We ordered crispy pork knuckle and traditional one. The pork skin is hard to chewy, but the meat is tender. The pork knuckle don't have any flavour. There are many potatoes mash on the side which I really like it. The sausage is quite good and yummy. The King prawn salad is fresh. The fish and chips are crispy. Nothing special here. Maybe I expect too much.
I must say I was reluctant to go here. Last time I came I was a young pup and just seemed a good meal. Probably showing my age as once this had theatre. No more:(. Having said that, I came and a beer! Obviously a pint. I ordered the Veil snitzel and had high expectations! Having said that, I was shocked by the high quality and loved my meal. A very pleasant surprise;)
You can't miss the authentic German theme of this restaurant, even from outside. From the beer stein ceiling to the waitress's dress, the place looks amazing. You are given a fully illustrated menu with a large self-order form and pencil. Interesting concept except you need to make sure the waitress doesn't unintentionally miss any of the dishes out.
Food was out-of-this-world. The crispy pork knuckle was covered in pork crackling style skin and the meat was tender. There was a lot of fat though (as expected) which was easily removed. Chips are golden crunchy perfection. Highly recommend the battered flathead and chips too - battered perfection.
We also ordered the vegetable lasagne which tasted delicious but much smaller than the photo and looked quite different. For $24, I thought this dish was the least value in money.
Overall, the food was incredible and the atmosphere was awesome. Highly recommended if you're not watching your weight or going for a cheat day.
I have tried other Germany restaurant that serves the crispy knuckles, but Bavarian's was perfect, meat was juicy and perfect in flavour, will definitely come back again for it.
The food wasn't mind blowing, but there's not much choice on the Gold Coast unless you're having Japanese. It's a little bit quirky and dated, but I enjoyed myself. Don't order the salmon, though. My friend did and it was the size of a matchbox.
Very yummy big meal great homely feeling nice and quiet great to get out of the hustle of surfers
Great Date. My boyfriend took me here on a surprise date because it's his favourite German place, and i agree. The service was good, and the food was amazing. I would love to go back when i'm next on the coast
High Quailty food. Best Order to get here is the Bavarian combo that comes with a wide selection of sausages, schnitzel and sauerkraut with mash I think. Haven't been here for years, but I do remember that it was a lot beter in their old location.
Prices are expensive here, because you pay for quality food.
There are a number of choices on the Menu, ranging from classic German cuisine, grain fed char grilled steak, fresh seafood, pasta, as well as a variety of salads and a large range of European beers. Of course, when at a German restaurant, what could be more typical than to order Crispy Pork Knuckle, Sausage Connection and Jager Schnitzel, which we had for mains. We also shared Crumbed Mushroom & Onion Rings and Spicy Potato Wedges on the side.
Really enjoyed the pork schnitzel with chips and slaw, gravy on the side. The apple straddle and icecream, was devine, really worth going there for. The green meadow cocktail was huge and beautifully presented, and was a lovely sip drink with the main meal. The staff were friendly. This is a family restaurant so there are children welcome at this restaurant.
Very enjoyable place with such good service. Staff are all very nice. Food are taste and in good portion.
Couldn’t fault a thing! The food was amazing, as was the service. We had both male and female waiters and they were both attentive and lovely. The pork knuckle was to die for! Would highly recommend. We went on a Friday night and there were 6 of us. Food came out very quick.
We had a great experience here. The staff were super friendly and looked after us and our 8 month old baby. We had the chicken schnitzel and the crispy pork knuckle and both were really nice. My only regret is that I didnt get gravy on the schnitzel. Beer on tap was good too! Would definitely recommend.
