We spent two weeks in the German and Austrian Alps, and my family and I agree that the Eibsee-Alm…read morewas the best restaurant we visited. To be clear, we stayed with German friends for a week, so we went to great local restaurants and didn't do only touristy restaurants. This one could be considered a little touristy for the fact that it's close to the very popular Eibsee (an unbelievably beautiful alpine lake with crystal-clear teal water). However, it's a little hidden and up the hill, so it wasn't nearly as busy as the more touristy restaurant that's located right on the lake. The view of the mountains and meadows was beautiful, and the food was outstanding. I had the Schweinebraten with potato dumplings. It was the best one I had on the whole trip (I had this dish about 7 or 8 times during our vacation). The crackling was perfectly crispy, the beer sauce flavorful, and the dumplings were just how I like them - stretchy. My wife had the Wiener schnitzel and agreed it was one of the best of the trip. My son had a Weiss wurst, and again, one of the best. To top it off, we finished with an Apple strudel that disappeared in a flash. Finally, the service was great. The waiter had a fun personality and really engaged our son. That was the icing on the cake that made this our favorite restaurant (of many great ones).

Gasthaus am Zierwald was very close to our hotel. We had seen it before when walking through town,…read moreand I had read the positive reviews. They don't do this place justice. The complementary starter was a cold mango soup served with a mint leaf garnish, and it was refreshing and delicious. I had "Gebackenes Spinat-Küchlein auf Pfifferlings-Rag oût und glasiertem Gemüse," which was easily one of the best and most creatively put together dishes I have had in a very long time. It was one of at least two vegetarian options for the main course. My dining companion had "Zart geschmorte Kalbsbäckchen in Spätburgunder mit glasiertem Gemüse und Kartoffel-Kräuterstampf," and we shared a green salad. Suffice it to say that every plate was clean by the end of the evening. The server was gracious and patient as we translated the menu and even made suggestions as to which seat would be less windy. As if the food wasn't reason enough to come here, the view of the mountains from the patio is nothing short of awe inspiring. If I'm ever fortunate enough to be back in this area again, I will definitely be revisiting this fine and rare establishment.

Parking was convenient, the location, in relation to the lake and the Zugspitze, was great. The cost was quite reasonable in comparison to other hotels and gasthauses in Germany. But the greatest things about Gasthaus Zierwald were the staff, the room and the food! This place exudes charm - a mix of the old world with a contemporary finish. And CLEAN is a way of life here. The room was not only larger than most, but newly finished in wood by a REAL craftsman. The handmade wood bed was King sized and very comfortable. The bathroom was fantastic - the largest and best we encountered in our travels - no "squeegy" shower here! After a day of sightseeing, there is an upper deck where you could relax with a warm cup of coffee or good German wine and watch the sunset on the Zugspitze. And the food was fantastic - all fresh and well prepared, to be enjoyed in a cozy, warm, but not crowed dining room. The staff were not only polite and efficient, but more than willing to assist you with accommodations, trip planning, local information and fun conversation. I highly recommend Zierwald and we plan a return stay on our next trip to Germany
