This is a relatively straightforward local Bravarian pub/restaurant. You have your waiters all in traditional dress and the expected cozy beer house settings. I had a chance to sample their weisswurst/white sausages, which are traditionally served before noon and always freshly made (at the right places). This place did not disappoint .. with the sausages tasting extremely fresh and pairing perfectly with that tasty traditional Bravarian sweet mustard. (Tip: You do not eat the skin of these sausages - locals typically cut the sausage in half horizontally and take the meat out that way). The beer here was also just right and adding pretzels to the mix made the whole experience feel so ... Bravarian. If you're visiting this lovely part of Germany, it's not a bad idea to stop by and sample some of their nice traditional fare. The service was spotty but generally speaking, my experience was very good overall.

Disclaimer#2: I am an American judging German cuisine, so take it with a grain of salt if you are a native of the country! Loved the food here. Large group of us so we were able to sample many different dishes. I tasted the Vngarisches rindersaftlasch (basically gulasch), the Wiener schnitzel com schweinelendchen, the Gegte medallions com schweinefilet auf pfifferlingrahmsauce (pork tenderloin) and a side of kartoffelkrokketten (basically mashed potatoes deep fried like a tater tot). All four of these foods were excellent! The service was fast and friendly. I would recommend sitting outside in their expansive beer garden with the beautiful views of the mountains. Located across from the train station, so centrally located in town. Cash only. If you are in Berchtesgaden and looking for some great German cuisine, check this place out!

Esszimmer is convenient, and there's off street parking (paid) a one minute walk away. I ordered the Starter of consumme with ravioli of red beet, beech nuts and kumquats. So refined, petite and delicious. Maximillian (Chef and Owner) knows precisely how to mix delicate flavors into a symphony! For my Entrée, I ordered roasted quail, presented with asparagus, morels, pumpkin cream and potatoes. All seasoned to delight my taste buds. Preceding it all was a special bite I can't truly describe other than delicious, along with a variety of fine sliced breads. An extensive wine list is offered, along with spirits. I didn't have room for dessert, however I'm certain it's of the same high quality. Our server turned out to be the wife, Roxana, who is a co-owner. This young couple is clearly doing their best to delight their customers. If we lived nearby, we'd be regulars beyond a doubt. The experience deserves a full 5!
