VANTAGE POINT Authentic European food and a spectacular view set this venue in Morovis apart from the rest. As one of the coolest places we visited during our time in Puerto Rico, Nichole C knew that this'd be right up my alley. Founded by a German who later settled on the island with his wife, Casa Bavaria is one of the most popular spots among the 18-35 crowd. Our group of four arrived on 12/30/18 and found a small parking lot that was jam-packed, including a massive party bus! Eventually finding a table upstairs, we flagged down a server and ordered a round of drinks. I have to commend them for not only carrying different kinds of German beer, but for having nearly a dozen available on tap. I enjoyed a 'Radeberger' pilsner while my girl sipped a Schöfferhofer hefeweizen draft. Very fair prices, too. The "Alemán" sampler ($15.50) was basically a giant German combo plate. It had sliced bratwurst, currywurst (sausage in sauce), schnitzel strips, spätzle noodles, warm potato salad and surprisingly good sauerkraut. With honey mustard and mayoketchup for dipping, this was an excellent choice! Bread = 4.5 Circuses = 5 Service was fine (if a bit slow), but we didn't come here for that. We came here for the view and man oh man, it did not disappoint. Overlooking the lush tropical landscape of the area, you can see for miles on a clear day, sometimes all the way to the ocean. Casa Bavaria can get insanely busy during Oktoberfest and world cup matches, so plan your visit accordingly (and I don't believe they accept reservations)! * TL;DR * At more than 2,000ft above sea level, this open-air restaurant can trigger acrophobia in some folks. All that separates you, the blissful beer-drinking party goer, from tumbling over the edge is a single railing. Please do be careful, as alcohol and extreme heights do not mix well (also, phones dropped from 1/3-mile up into the jungle typically aren't recovered). The journey up into the mountains can be perilous, so make sure you have a trustworthy driver who can navigate the narrow winding roads. It's roughly an hour from San Juan but good god almighty it's worth the trip. Expect some of the best views on the entire island, not to mention lots of beer variety at a reasonable value. Casa Bavaria's food is the real deal and was one of the highlights of our trip. Super cool place, a must-visit when in PR!

We stopped in for lunch on Saturday and the place was packed. We found a table with a beautiful view and had one of the best German meals we've ever had. Highly recommend!

The location and scenery are spectacular. I was in awe. I'm German and was disappointed in the Yeager schnitzel the pork was not fried. I have never had schnitzel that wasn't fried. Other than that everything was ok. I would go back. The service was 7 out of 10.

We came to enjoy the booze and view. The "biew." After enjoying some time up on the mountain, we decided to stop even though there wasn't a soul to be seen but we had to celebrate surviving 'The Monster' zipline at Toroverde. Turns out Friday afternoons aren't too busy this time of year. There's a little bakery separate from the two-story restaurant, but we head straight into the bar to order drinks. From a pic on the wall, I saw that the Clintons decided to give ol' Casa Bavaria a try back in the day. Our bartender was nice; later he even helped me carry drinks upstairs. The view is stunning here. The drinks are cheap. You can stick your face in a hole and take pictures in the parking lot. Just your usual bar in PR.

I think my boyfriend's family hyped up this restaurant too much. We ate here for 3 Kings Day. Yes, it is on top of a mountain and has a great view, but we also had to drive about 1.5 hours to the center of the island, half on the highway and half up winding roads to get there. Yes, they have German food, but the menu is very selective. I'm not a German expert, but the dishes did not look any different then the Puerto Rican food (basically fried meat). The restaurant is huge and there is a lot of open space/outdoor seating where you can feel the breeze. However, the parking lot is not proportional to the size that they can cater. If you can't find a spot, you either park in front of car or park along side of the hill. You also have to literally hunt for a table because there isn't a host. I did go on 3 Kings Day, so maybe the restaurant was more crowded than usual...maybe. I didn't see anything special about this place, and it is definitely not worth the drive to visit again. At the end of the meal, the entire family felt the same way and thought we would have a better meal closer to the metro area.

The drive from the San Juan metro area is fairly easy. The view is spectacular. The bratwurst was tasty. The beer selection was very good. Serving sizes were good. If you like a good mustard bring your own, they only had yellow mustard. The homemade apple pie was not very good, although the filling was good, the crust was gritty and mushy and tasted bad. The service was good and prices were fair.

The service was good, but we were the only ones in the restaurant for most of the time. I grew up in Germany, and the owners should be ashamed of what they call a schnitzel. The "pork cutlet" was thinner than what I get with sliced deli meat. The breading was thicker than the meat. And, to sell that for $32 is robbery. The spaetzle was tasteless. The tablespoon of red cabbage that came on the plate was laughable and had too much clove. You can't make a cheaper side dish than red cabbage. The amount served bordered on insulting. I implore the owners to go to Germany to find out how German food is made and served. read more

Everything was delicious!! All of the servers are so patient and kind when you are trying to order. When you first drive up, the outside looks very deceiving but when you go to the top; it is a gorgeous view. read more

Traditional German food in PR. Service is very friendly. The ambiance is ok I guess. I visit often because of the location in central PR.

Sad to say, the worst meal i have ever had there in all these years!!! How do you screw up saurkraut? How do you under cook your german potato salad?!?! HOW you screw up bratwurst??? And Spetzle...YUK ! AND Good lord, it's NOT CALLED PASTA... Learn the correct words.. It's a frigging GERMAN RESTAURANT... NOT A PUERTO RICAN RESTAURANT!!! THANKFULLY , THE VIEW is still amazing. read more

This review is WAY overdue. Centrally located on the island, Casa Bavaria is a hidden gem offering all of the stunning views alongside authentic German and Puerto-Rican fare. Not what I was expecting to stumble upon on our way back from Toro Verde. We actually got caught in a massive rainstorm when we visited so we didn't get great pictures, but the mountain views were just as pretty in the clouds. We were seated on the balcony which was mostly covered (we were happy about this due to the rain), but to our right was a lush group of avocado trees accompanied by a gorgeous landscape. We did have quite a bit of rainwater hit us on the side during the heavier showers, but hey, it was rainy season. My friend ordered the Mofongo, but I simply couldn't pass up ordering the Bratwurst at a German restaurant. The food was good, but the views were much better. Good selection of German beers too. I would love to have visited on a sunnier day. read more

It's a little drive up but worth it! We shared the carnes fritas. I had the Wiener schnitzel strips, arroz blanco con habichuelas and my husband enjoyed the garlic chicken. All were delicious ! Our waitresses were friendly and attentive. We sat in the upper deck and the views are breathtaking ! Great place to bring out of town guests for a great lunch or dinner. read more

The view is breath taking. I did not expect to find an authentic German restaurant in. Puerto Rico but this is it. We went on a Sunday early evening at sunset. The portions are large. The sauerkraut was homemade and was really good. It is part of the carretera de longaniza. They have traditional Puerto Rican food too. Having mofongo as a side to a very generous portion of bratwurst and sauerkraut was interesting. Great service and the kitchen was fast. read more

My brother (USCG) took us up here when we came down to visit and I am so glad he did! I have to admit, driving up here, I was glad he was driving. The roads are so tiny and twisty! It still amazes me the way Puerto Ricans drive...and I thought Houstonians were nerve wracking. lol Anyways! They weren't crowded at all so we had our pick of where we wanted to eat. Little did we know at the time, we chose the exact same table that ex-president Clinton sat in. There was a picture hanging on the wall above us. Our waitress was outstanding; she was attentive without being overbearing. I hate feeling rushed when I'm enjoying myself on vacation and she did an awesome job, even offering to take our picture for us and share some stories from working there and being on the island. The view alone is worth the drive up here. You can see mountains, the ocean, the curvature of the earth, the rain forest...you literally get lost in the scenery while sipping on a German beer and feeling the breeze through the patio. Okay, I have to admit, I was a wee bit hungover from the night before and didn't get to really try much from the menu, but I did take bites from my brother and momma's plates. The bratwurst and schnitzel were both amazing. I stuck to ice cream and I guess it was magical ice cream because I instantly felt my hangover dissipate. I take off a star because the restroom wasn't stocked with TP nor was the flusher working. In sum, I really want to come back here during Oktoberfest; I hear it's crazy! read more

We stumbled upon this place by pure coincidence. We skipped breakfast on our way to Toro Verde and used Yelp to find a restaurant in the area. Behold, Casa Bavaria! I read that the views were breathtaking and boy were they right. We ate at the terrace upstairs. We ordered a small appetizer or bratwurst and German bread...delicious. I had a small order of shrimp scampi with a side of arroz con gandules. My boyfriend had a grilled chicken with arroz con avichuelas. Both meals were amazing. We each had a German beer. I don't like beer so I had the grapefruit flavored one and it was delicious. We're so happy we found this spot. I would definitely come back. read more

Very good place! They have outdoor and indoor options to sit and upstairs. However they do not allow food upstairs. You get very nice views from outside. Fast service. They also have only 3 kinds of German beer for happy hour 1-3. I would come back here again. Def worth trying some of their German menu. I tried the beer goulash it was very delicious and the portions were big. read more

I stopped here with a few friends on the "ruta del chinchorreo". It wasn't too crowded and we were greeted by friendly staff. We had some beer and two different samplers. The food was decent, yet arrived cold. We weren't very impressed by the beer we ordered. We'll have to try a different selection next time. The view was spectacular! I'll definitely give them another try whenever I'm around the area. read more

Love their food and variety of beer. Their sausage is delicious and their snitzel as well. It's located in the center part of the island but the drive from San Juan is not long, about 1 hr. Beautiful mountain view. Their prices are very reasonable and it's the perfect place to get out of the city. read more

Really, really big fan!!! This place has a great variety of beers compared to all the places in PR. They have on tap the great beers from Old Harbour Brewery in old San Juan. The service is good but it takes a while for the food to come. So order some Brats, they usually serve them really fast. For a German place they make a really good mofongo. One other thing, don't forget your Jager!!! read more

I would give It 3 1/2 stars but since they have only. Whole stars I'm going to give it three because the waitress could've been more helpful offering us drinks as the glasses emptied. All in all German food is slightly bland, no surprise there. But as I wait in my car with no help from the "valet people" who are too busy smoking cigarettes and looking at their watch. I really feel like giving them one star, but the kitchen is not at fault. They do a decent rendering of German food. read more

Wow, what a hidden gem. We were wasting time since our departure from SJU was 4:45 and check out was 12n. Decided to do a loop; stumbled on this gem and enjoyed a few beers and the sampler platter. The view is amazing the sampler platter was huge with a great variety. read more

Went here midday on a week day and it was pretty empty. That is expected.... when my cousin and I arrived, we were served right of way and went to the back of the business for the view. The view along with the breeze was amazing. Restrooms were clean..kuddos! Really hard to find clean restrooms in a bar/restaurant in the island. .. read more

Just kinda like greasy fried food, and not the best. We went on a Sunday where apparently this is a popular stop for the party buses, so it was very loud. However, waitstaff was very nice, drive up and views were fantastic, and wait time was fine. read more

A famous Puertorican tradition during christmas time is going to "chinchorrear." This basically translates to restaurant hopping in certain parts of the island, tasting different brews and foods. For our "chinchorreo", my family decided to go to this place: Casa Bravaria. Upon arriving we were treated with no respect whatsoever. The bartender was rude and crude (often taking more time to talk and chat with his fellow coworkers instead of taking orders). Furthermore, the food took more than 45 min, only to arrive cold and soggy. If you are looking for a place to "Chinchorrear" in Puerto Rico I, a fellow puertorican, strongly recommend that you do NOT go to Casa Bravaria. read more

Germans in Puerto Rico? What an unexpected sight! This restaurant, tucked away in the mountains, offers spectacular views and a Biergarten-style setup. We had already eaten when we saw it, but we had to stop in and check out the vibe. We ordered some German beers and tried some desserts. The menu was a mix of Puerto Rican standards and German classics. We ordered some Flan, German cake, and the "Nusse" or nut cake. The dessert was good, but not great. The service from our German-dressed waitress was outstanding. And the ambiance from the location was amazing. read more
