Hello Again from Garmisch!…read more
My husband and I come twice a year to Garmisch for hiking, biking, and eating! We have ALWAYS purchased our meats from Metzgerei Sedlmayr and this year is no different. The meat selection is awesome, prices are great, and they do speak a little english....but, frankly, I just point at what I want and hold up fingers for how much. So, you aspiring German chefs out there, there is no better place to buy Rolladen meat (already pounded and cut), fresh dill pickles to go with it, bacon (if you like the German Bacon---I do like it, but have to pull out the small bone left in each piece before I use it), and of course Bavarian Mustard, are all sold here. If you always wanted to try your hand at making Sauerbraten, you can purchase pieces of already marinated sauerbraten meat and Sauerbraten gravy mix....Don't forget to ask for a bit of the Sauerbraten marinade to add to your gravy mix....it is excellent :) When there, make sure you check out the selection of dried meat (beef, pork, deer, without or without "gewurz" or spices) jerkies hanging up in the back...yummy!
So, as I said, we always buy our meat from Sedlmayr, but this year we also decided to try their lunch specials. What a fantastic way to eat a German lunch and NOT have to pay 50 Euros for two people! The lunch selections change daily (with favorites like weinerschnitzel and "Krustrolle" showing up most days) and are always around the same price 5-6 Euros for a luncheon plate (meat, potatoes/rice)....YES, I did write 5-6 Euros for a German home cooked meal!! You can eat in (tables inside and outside during nice weather) or take out. Portions are midsize, so if you go super hungry order two meats....probably another 1-2 Euros, but well worth it. The meat comes from their butcher shop and the place is SUPER clean.
Shopkeepers are actually the Sedlmayr Family (Mom and Daughter mostly). Both are friendly, but I have to say that MOM is my favorite....I just like her whole professional attitude and her knowledge of how to cook the meats that I buy....Daughter speaks more English though and is also very nice.
So, be adventurous and give them a try....they are on Alpspitstr (which if you are coming down the hill is the first right after Pizza Hut or if going up the hill is the left at the POST Hotel....Sedlmayr is a block up the street on the right)....park in the public parking lot across the side street from them.
I should attach photos, but I seem to always forget to take them as I am savoring the meat selection or eating their great food....I'll take some photos next time I go and post with this review.
